In the gingerbread firmware for LwW and other similar series of sony, i see those four corner shortcut curves (which actually is not so good looking) how do i remove it??? okay i'm rooted and i run custom firmware!! but i just want to run a rooted stock without those shortcuts!!!
this four corners is part of the home launcher.
use another launcher like go launcher or holo launcher
alright then will it be possible to replace the home launcher of gingerbread with that of the ics??

Just install a different launcher. There are many free ones available on the play store. My personal favourite is go launcher.

Use This MOD ( Only for ICS )

I modded the xperia arc launcher abit. I liked the original launcher but didn't like the look of the folders.
It has a working dockbar (visible).
See screenshots for demo (XperiaArcMod.apk).
Install:
Copy to SD
Uninstall previous arc launcher. (if you have installed it)
Install from phone.
Two more mods uploaded, Both have the regular homekey (I personally think it's ugly, but here you go). One has a visible dockbar, the other invisible. (neither of these two have been tested but they should work, if not i'll fix it ASAP)
Thanks for this one, working fine on floyo4, wondering however is there's any way to configure the number of pages one can have.
There is, unfortunatly it has to be done by decompiling it and changing the xml. You can try the two new ones just uploaded. I have not tried them myself but they should work.
Thanks but for me, they both just force close, no biggie, I'll just use a couple empty tabs

Force close here too, only the first one is working. And would be good if anyone can fix the screen rotation
Thanks
Using this but I haved moded it about..
Changed the dock to transparent and took another appdr. Button instead of the iphone

Looks Good Buddy, Looking forward to more changes (if you want to )
Abit buggy, nice work though.
Please be more specific if you experience problems. Abit buggy doesn't really say all that much.

m using de owian rom, 2.3 and ya obviously its rooted
Hi all,
I'm just testing this ROM again and I found one problem (despite the fact that it's a gorgeous ROM) and that's the SE launcher. The stock launcher with it has the corners which I'm not a fan of (it's too small as screen). If I try to remove that launcher an put in any other SE launcher e.g. my favourite, the Arc, it works UNTIL you reboot/backup/flash the phone. When you come back to the main screen it says com.sonyericsson.something has crashed.
The only way around is either using the stock launcher or installing a non-SE launcher, which I've done until I can figure it out.
Anyone know what to do? As I say my aim is to use the Arc launcher which works on any other Gingerbread ROM I use, except this one.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the ICS Launcher (by Syndicate Apps) and the ICS theme (by Sonny Sekhon). Are they both the same thing aesthetically or is one more accurate? I've never seen ICS so I don't know how to tell?
the ics launcher you mention is a port of the launcher for use on gb and lower has the looks and almost acts like stock ics (but buggy ), a theme changes the appearance of the launcher eg adw launcher , changes the looks of the apps , but does not act like the launcher eg widget in drawer etc ...
the launcher you mention and the theme are two different items , themes are more for getting the appearance opposed to the functionality of ics launcher , the launcher is almost fully like ics ,so maybe ure better of flashing a ics rom oppsed to using the launcher or theme the two are pretty mediocre opposed to the real thing in my opinion , i have a ics rom on my phone runs ok ...
Ok. Thanks. It's good advice to get a ROM but unfortunately none of them for my phone have a working camera and that's crucial to me. I'll stick with the launcher.
Hi ppl, I'm looking for something different for my s2...
Note: Please don't advice to root my phone.
I want my all icons, everything to be changed to a different theme, like the nokia have different kind of themes s2 only has the go launcher app which just changes the background images and color rest everything is same.
I 've tried the SPB SHELL 3d, It's awesome but i dont want to use that as it's just full 3d.....
anything else can make my s2 look a really cool and funky???

Have you thought about trying MIUI? You can basically customize anything and everything
EDIT: why dont you want to root your phone?
Roms are the way to go along with custom launchers and themes. Btw i feel this is in the wrong section

I second that, however if youre not looking for a new rom you could always try another launcher like go ex or adw launcher, or even flash the galaxy s3 launcher

If u have android version over 4.0 u should try downloading Apex Launcher!
hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS
Google play store link to widget locker
