Hello,
I have 2 questions regarding this mod (which I cannot post in the respective thread unfortunately)
- In the ROM description it says 'you can delete 1 of the launcher apps. [2 included]'. I only see 1 launcher called simply "Launcher", which is the other one?
- Where is the settings menu for this "Launcher". E.g. I want to remove the search bar, icon labels and home screens. Pressing the home button on home screen does nothing (usually brings up home screens management). The menu button only offers system settings, and they do not have a launcher section (or I haven't found it).
Thanks,
santaranger

In the latest version of the rom (v5), it is using the AOSP launcher. This is the most basic launcher so therefore there are no extra features. Also the 2nd launcher was removed to conserve memory and speed up the rom.
If you want to modify the look you can try any of the launchers present in the play store.

I downloaded adw launcher but i selected SE theme as default in order to experiment with adw later. But now i can't find adw launcher anywhere to activate it. And in the market i can't open it, it only says i downloaded it.
can anyone tell me where to go to open adw launcher?
you have to delete the cache or something from the default launcher (in app menu)
or you install the app "Home Switcher"
In case you still haven´t found the ADW Launcher, you have to clear the defaults in settings - applications - manage applications - home screen. After when you press the home button you will be asked what screen you´d like to use.

I just installed CM10 4.1.2 on my galaxy s2. How is it possible to edit order of apps in my app screen? I want to change order of them (on ICS i was able to do so by hitting left button > edit > and then holding one icon for longer time and dragging it).
Thanks.

It depends on the launcher you use, for what you asked go launcher has that feature and several other launchers.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
If you like the stock look use nova or apex launcher they both look the same as the stock launcher but have lots of customization
I recently installed it and there as few problems I can't seem to solve:
1. There is no option to resize widgets. It is supposed to support it, but there is just no way. Whether in Free mode or not. How to do it?
2. In the app drawer, many apps are displayed twice, some apps don't appear at all, and there are some apps that I don't even have installed...

1 . you have to be in edit mode. You can resize/rotate/supperpose/order/... (note : you can fine resize when you are in free mode)
2 . The last release correct that
1. I was in edit mode and found no way to resize a widget.
2. I am already using a latest release (from 3 days ago), so unless there was another update, I'm using it.
How to limit the number of screens?
By default Lightning Launcher has 5 screens, I need only two. How do I remove extra screens?
Expired.
No Dual (2nd app) shortcut.
Cannot keep shortcut for the dual apps like Whatsapp, Truecaller. The dual (second) app appears separately in the default launcher (check screenshot 1) but not in lightning launcher (check screenshot 2). I love lightning launcher because of customizations but it's only missing this main feature. Please add dual app.

Which menu are trying to move icons around on? Or are you referring to the home screen or home launcher? If so, is it the launcher that comes with the phone or one you installed from an app store? What phone and what software update does it have? Did you root and install a custom recovery or just root only?

Try "Nova Launcher" if your device is Android 4.0+. Prime version is the launcher I#m using at the moment. Highy customizable and pretty fast
Complete free solution: Mini Launcher

Well, when you have the Red X there and the icons move around, that is the uninstall app option. Should just be able to hit the back button to get out of that part. Make sure there isn't an option in the settings of the home screen that lock the desktop, which prevents moving of icons and widgets around. If you are trying to sort them a custom way in the actual app drawer, it's very likely that the stock Sony home launcher does not have this option. Like the other member mentioned, check out the Nova launcher, or the Apex Launcher. Both have free and paid versions with lots of ability to customize to your liking as well as running very smoothly on most devices.
my fault

Topic should be closed. I have solution. Simply - this file (probably with ending php) contains some infos, so the icons from menu were set in most used order. Sorry for my oversight. Dope with me
hi my idea for new module is for swiching launchers even if one is set as default when you long pres the home button the dialog for choosing launcher shows up. So if you have default laucher set and you tap the home button the phone opens it but if you longpres the home button phone asks wich one to open always\just once. Can this be done? if some one ends up makeing this or similar module I dont want any credit as i only give the idea.
oh and if it maters my device is sony xperia Z2 runing the latest 4.4.2 oficial firmware.
I don't see any use in such a module. Why would you need 2 different launchers?

Well, in that case, it could be pretty useful.
