Hi,
here you have fully working launcher from Defy's older brother Motorola Razr M.
What should I do with it? Follow these steps:
1. unpack zip folder
2. copy Homescreen.apk to system/app via Root Explorer and set permission to RW-R-R, then hit it, and install.
3. Install Widgets and HomeConfig like a usual aps.
4. Reboot, and after that change your launcher to Homescreen forever.
5. Go to settings/developer options then change all three options to associate with animations to x0.5, activate "press back to kill app" and disable adb notification - all these things will help you in your daily use.

-Also I recomend you to change CM10 theme to MotoInspired v2.0 (remember to reboot it twice after apply) all thanks to NITRO_100 for his amazing job.
-And to make it more Razr look, change bootanimation to Razr M optimalized by espaciosalter20
-After all steps done, change your wallpaper to default Moto. Razr I included in package
Thanks, mate Could you tell us how well it performs? All the versions posted so far were pretty bad when it came to performance :/
Keen to see how this performs all efforts so far have suffered bad lag and screen res issues.
Last time I used hdpi version of the razr m launcher it was very fast. The one from atrix hd was pretty laggy and buggy.
I'm on sevenrock´s 20130117 build, and must say it, everything works absolutely fine! There are some typical lags as usual on Defy, but its realy worth a try.
There are no screen resolution issues, launcher was resized to fit Defy resolution.

The first step is a bit odd... After copying it to system/app, you cannot install it, that's what the copying was - a manual install. And after that the launcher works fine.
Widgets don't work, though. Will try coping the to system/apps with proper permissions, instead of just installing.
*EDIT* Uninstalled, copied, set RW-R--R-- - still doesn't work. "Problem loading widget." ("The Circles widget is not supported on 3rd party home screens" can be read in the background).
Any help with that? The launcher is pretty neat, and the performance is satisfactory, I think I'll be keeping it Circle Widgets would be a great plus!
*EDIT#2* Just thinking about how well this launcher is going to work on CM10.1 with the 3.0.8 kernel
*EDIT#2* Okay, so I've found the guide somewhere else. The first step is to copy Homescreen.apk to system/apps, set the aforementioned permissions, and then install and let it overwrite the already installed app. Doing that didn't solve the CircleWidgets problem, so I've searched a bit more and found someone saying that it works if you just install Homescreen.apk as a normal app - I did that and Circles really do work
The launcher and the widget are very sweet, I'm keeping the combo! Weather is pretty good, too. But what does the HomeConfig app do?
smoother than any other Atrix HD or Razr launcher
still have some lag
but that clock is so charming
I'll keep it
thanks:good:
I've got to switch back to Trebuchet/Apex/Nova... This pack looks great, but it's killing my phone Launcher, circleWidgets and Weather.apk are all loaded and I feel it's too much for my phone... Moving left to quick settings is always slow, animations of the launcher lag a bit, moving to Favourites in the app drawer lags and widget previews are always slow to show up :/
I will definitely try it out when CM10.1 shows up with the new kernel, that might help
Cheers and thanks for the share, I enjoyed trying it!

yes it works you must have rooted your phone
i copied Gallery3D.apk from my x10i to my x10 mini pro on sdcard, with root eplorer copied into system/app ( sure you mount rw) and set permissions to 644 (user read-write,group read,others read)
and with adw launcher i put a shortcut on my screen
long press on screen, other short command, Select Activity, Activities, scroll to galerie and choose it, now you have a short cut for 3d gallery
download gallery3D.apk from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
better download GalleryFixedCamera.apk frome here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829571 thanks sanjay_bandaru
now you can launch the app fom app drawer on your homelauncher and you can launch camera directly
and look for a nice black theme, http://www.mobil-talk.de/android/6857-theme-mini-goes-black.html worked too, thanks to Bueffel
sry for bad english
I've been "reading" (I don't speak German) the black theme thread, but I don't know what files I have to download for my x10 mini (not pro) with android 2.1 (nordic firm).
Can anyone help me?
basically the last 2 added (which you could have imagined by name 2.0.xxxxx^^)
i think in order to change the most things framework does the job
to get fully black theme you'll need to change the apps as well.
change it as descrebed here in the forum section as any other theme as well
greets Mo
Great find on that black theme. Personally its better than the blue theme but just to black here and there for my liking. I find pulpoff and draco_ag's theme for the 1.6 (hopefully to be ported to 2.1) more pleaseing to the eye a tad greyer here and there. But i appreciate the work done

@ abhi98228 hmm for me all worked, no problem with market.
@iphonepimp what working with default launcher? 3d Gallery? Check the GalleryFixedCamera.apk on my first post, it worked.
I like the gallery... but there is one bug with the detailsbutton... it's to big (the button on top if you choose a image).
I copy a smaler picture from the apk over the big detailbutton to fix this, but can't resign the apk correctly. I attached my apk (you have to remove the old app, then install the new apk) and the smaler image. perhaps someone can correctly resing the apk with the image.
Thanks for the new apk. works well.
This is nice thanks a lot!

Which xml's must I edit and what code should I look for in order to change the dock background color? I tried reading the tuts on xda but they are somewhat unclear and mostly talk about the progress bar (bar attached to pulldown menu). Can someone help me? Once I figure out which files to change I believe I will be good!
Am I in the wrong section?
kinda need to know what launcher you are using... if you use launcherpro, just edit the .png to your liking, and assign dock background under custom in launcherpro settings...
if your on a rom without a market launcher you can use ninja morph. go to system/app/twframework once it opens it up go to res/drawable hdpi (V4) if you have that. then look for the files you want to change. long press the file and hit edit you can adjust the color and the transparencey. it will not save until you push menu/save image then go back to the main screen hit finish/twframework*******very important******** hit overwrite/ no to zipalign/ no to clean up. then reboot and your done.
with ninja morph you can change icon and icon colors along with transparency. congtratulations.
******BY THE WAY IF I DID NOT MENTION******** NANDROID BACK UP *********************************************************
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR STUFF BACKED UP YOU CAN EDIT AND CHANGE WHATEVER.
If you have a third party launcher the process is still the same. except the files are in data/app/ (whatever launcher your using) once you complete the work you finish project/no to overwrite
download signapktic fro, the market find the file in adroidthemes/workspace and select platform/ then sign it.
uninstall the original launcher and go to your files and install you work. i have done this with launcher pro and altered it to my liking because of the icons and docks.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!

Hi i rooted my xperia x10i after updating to 2.3.3 for the first time and deleted a few bloatware.
1 >>>Somehow i deleted the power widget too and at that time the widget was on my main screen(desktop) too..
After reboot, the widget was deleted and the screen where the widget was placed is blocked and I cannot place any widgets there, nor can i move any existing widget there.
If anyone could help, would really appreciate it...
2 >>> Also after every reboot, the default settings are not remembered by the phone.. as in the shortcut to sms to be used by chompsms, and default miss call by dialer one, etc... Please help..........
3 >>> The menu in which we can set our own order, the new feature which i really like also gets changed after reboot.. Dont know what is the problem, it just doesnt save the view..
BTW Stock Rom with root, FPS unlock, bloatware removed is Super fast and kool and extra smooth too..
Clear data and cache of your home screen app
Thanx! Gregbradley..

Which launcher and rom are using?
On cyanogenmod roms there is an option to keep the homelauncher in memory, that should help.
You could also use TB to freeze/delete the stock apps so the launcher cant find them and looks for the ones you use instead.
I actually use stock 2.3.3 and have deleted all un-needed stuff.. but in 2.1, it used to remember if I set a shortcut icon to use chompsms, also whenever there is a missed call, it used to determine by itself and open it via dialer one rather than phone... But now in 2.3.3 after every reboot it asks me what default option would i like to choose.. it does not remember...
Also the nicest feature to set the menu items in the order that i would wish, after reboot it forgets and all the icons are spread far and wide..
i know its complicated.............Can you please help??
Hi...
I did not see this posted in the GSP threads so I am putting a link for anyone interested in playing with the Asus Widgets with their Galaxy Players.
Just to let everyone know, I did not create or mod any of the widgets so I am not taking any credits for the work. Just providing a link for some cool widgets.
Anyway, I tried all the widgets posted on the link and every one of them work good for my setup. I am using CM9 with dpi set at 190 on my YP-G70 GSP 5.0 INT. I am sure this will work with US version too.
I am not sure, however, if this will work with roms other than ICS roms. If anyone with the GB rom wants to try and report, that would be great.
Please follow directions on the OP of the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592068
All these widgets need to be copied to the /system/app folder. Permissions need to be set to rw_r__r__. Reboot and enjoy. You will probably want to back up the original apps (email.apk, exchange.apk and deskclock.apk) into another location for safe keeping in case something goes wrong.
The Asus weather widget is a bit of a problem if you live in the US and require F readings instead of the C reading. The save button is hidden and the settings cannot be saved. You need to temporarily change the DPI to 120 in order to set this widget for F temp reading. At DPI set to 120, you can see a sliver of the "Save" button on the corner at portrait mode. Hit this with your desired settings. Once the settings are saved, you can go back to your original DPI and the widget will still work with your new settings.
So... enjoy...

Hey, themers!
I've been having an odd problem recently with my ADW. Before I state my question, here are my device/version details:
ADW.Launcher version: 1.3.3.9
Device: Rooted Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight
Android version: 2.1 Eclair
Now, with that out of the way, here's my issue. I like changing my homescreen frequently; using new icons, new wallpaper, new widgets, etc. I've recently been enjoying vanessaem's LipseUI and Lucent Remix icons, as well as King Rollo's 7null icons. Thing is, I've been having to use Deskto VisualizeR (DVR) to get the icons to display correctly, mainly because 1) Android 2.1 doesn't support 97% of icon pack apps, so I have to buy them on one device, install them, copy the .apk out of /data/app, and decompile the .apk so I can use the icon .pngs on my Nook, and 2) When I do [Menu > Add > Custom shortcut > [tap on icon area] > Select and crop picture] in ADW, the transparency in the image I choose, whatever file extension it is, always displays as plain black (which, of course, ruins circular and King Rollo-style icons).
So, my question is: how can I force ADW to display the correct transparency in icons, and not display it as black?
Thanks ahead of time for any input!
Regards,
Nookie
P.S. One thing I've tried is taking one of david1171's Minimalist icon packs (his Minimalist and Minimalist_Black packs are the only icon pack .apks I've ever been able to actually install on my Nook), decompiling it, taking out all of the actual icon pack icons, pasting in all of, for example, the LipseUI icons, recompiling, and attempting to reinstall the .apk, but I always have gotten a parse error, most likely because I don't know how to resign the .apk after recompiling it. Can anyone help me with this option?
P.P.S. Also, please don't recommend I update my Android version - fact is, on my device, 2.1 is the highest Android version to which any devs have ever gotten it.

Rules are one bump per day max. I would try not to make a habit out of it though IMO. Been a long time since I used 2.1 or adw. Sorry.

He's ok. It's one bump per 24hrs. and I think he's done that.
Anyway, I wish I could help. I'm unable to replicate the issue nor have I used ADW Launcher regularly in quite a long time. Have you tried using another launcher?
I know this may not be what you want to hear, or should I say see, but the fact of the matter is, many icon packs and perhaps ADW may not be fully compatible with Android 2.1. Some features like how things are displayed on the screen and general functionality have changed greatly since Android 2.1.
@rkucheran and @vanessaem, thank you both for your input. I am fully aware of all that you stated, Ms. V, but thanks for ensuring that.
I guess I'll have to do some .apk hacking.

I've never used ADW, so I can't give you any launcher-specific advice. My very first Android was on Eclair (that seems so long ago now) and it could run GO Launcher EX...which does cope with transparent icons. Maybe it's worth trying a different launcher?

Thank you so much for your kind and insightful input - I'm testing GO Launcher EX right now, to see if it lives up to ADW's standards, and then after that I'll give Tickle My Android a go (it looks awesome!).
Thanks again!
EDIT - After running GO for several hours, I've decided to uninstall it. It takes up too much memory, too much RAM, and isn't as customizable as ADW (which I've had for years).
Time to try TMA!
@rkucheran @vanessaem @Ticklefish
I have solved my problem! :highfive:
By installing QuickPic, using ADW's "Select picture" function (versus the "Select and crop picture" function) and selecting QuickPic as the image chooser, I can now set my app icons correctly, with transparency and everything!
Thank you all for your help, and lastly, I'd like to ask Ms. V to close this thread. :good:

Nookie
Excellent...I'm glad everything worked out for you.
