MiLauncher for Tablets​
I'm proud to announce the overhaul of the MIUI Launcher for Tablets.
It's been a very long time since I've updated the project, as when I left it, (due to not owning a tablet any more) I believed that it was working as I had intended on Tablets, sadly, as of Android 4.3 that was no longer the case.
With the release of Android 4.4 I obtained another tablet and decided to update the project. This is the result of my work, my research and the help of a few others, who will be mentioned below.
Please, provide feedback, hit thanks, and most importantly, enjoy it. Please understand that this is currently in beta, the bugs that it currently contains are all small graphical quality of life ones, and I'll be getting right on those.
As someone who is studying full time, please understand that I don't have a lot of free time, but I'll do my best to update this regularly and respond to any concerns or issues you may have.
I do not give permission for my work to be redistributed, direct linked or posted anywhere else other then XDA-developers.com or en.miui.com forums. Anyone who shares this must post a link to this thread and give credit.
Landscape Mode Only - Persistent for the moment.

Android 2.3-4.4 support
Code:
Beta 1:
31st March 2014
Initial re-release
Based off MiHome 2.22.0
Resolved an issue where the launcher would not open on Android 4.3 and 4.4 devices
Not really a ton to say as of yet
They're probably a little giant, brace yourself.
​

Bug or Graphical Issue / Work around
Beta 1:
The weather clock 4x2, Clock 2x1 and Clock 2x2 do not appear graphically correct on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices.
In the Launcher Settings -> Launcher: There is text that does not appear in english.
>This is the Hide Apps With a Pin Function.
Static Wallpapers seem blurred when using this launcher on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices, not sure if this is device specific or not, Live Wallpapers Seem to Work Fine.
There is text that does not appear in english in the themes market
Obviously as the market stuff is server side, I can't change that, however there may be a few local images > Pending further investigation.
MIUI Express Locker is terribly scaled, low res and buggy
> Disable Express Locker, which is stated in the install instructions anyway.
This is something I'm still looking into and I'm not sure if I can fix it, generally it's about as buggy and slow as most lock screen replacements anyway,
not sure if they've improved that from the last time I used MiHome on a phone > Pending further investigation.
If you have an issue be it graphical or performance based, the first step is to make sure it isn't a bug from your rom,
if you've excluded that possibility post in the main thread, for me to be able to do anything with it, you must include;
Code:
Your Device Name
Your Android Version
Your Current Rom
Your Device DPI
Version of this Launcher
The problem.
If you haven't followed the install instructions below, don't expect me to do anything to resolve your issue until you do.
Part 1:
Download and Install MiHome-Step1.apk
Once the launcher loads slide up from above the nav bar and hit "Launcher Settings."
Scroll down the options until you find "Cell Layout Type"
Hit it and select the option that suits your device best
Please choose wisely because you'll need to re-install the app to change this.
Part 2
Download and Install ZSC.mihome.BX.apk, (X being the latest version number)
You will be prompted to update MiHome, obviously confirm it.
Once MiHome loads, you may or may not notice a rather mangled looking clock widget.
I am aware of this and for the moment, delete it.
Head into launcher settings, if you don't have a physical menu button look in the next section.
Hit the "Lockscreen" option, uncheck "Use MiHome Locker",
this is the lockscreen replacement Xiaomi includes with the launcher.
It doesn't play well with larger screens or landscape as of the moment
Optional But Very Recommended
If you do not have a physical menu key,
long press an empty part of the screen and hit the "Toolbox" icon.
Select the "Launcher Settings" icon on the far right.
You'll see the icon is on your home screen, open the settings.
Hit the "Launcher" option, look down at the last option "Choose Swipe Up Gesture Function"
Hit it and select the last option "Swipe up to open Menu."
Now you can view all your options by sliding up from above the nav bar again!
If your transitions seem slow, or strange when changing home pages,
Head into "Launcher Settings", Hit Launcher
Hit "Screen Transition Effects" and select something other than "Classic",
This is optional, but Classic looks silly and makes the launcher seem less fluid.
It may also appear strangely on some devices.
Beta 1:
Step 1 - Refer to the Instructions
Step 2 - Refer to the Instructions
Code:
I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device, but I highly doubt anything will.

What is WkTASK?
WkTASK shares features of both Task Manager and Program Launcher for Windows Mobile. You can switch all running programs smoothly like desktop Windows, and launch applications easily. Not only stylus operation but also key operation is available. Although the look & feel closely matches the theme color and make the 3D gradation, its CPU and memory usage are low.
Features
Task-list
Using the upper bar, you can watch, switch, close and force termination running programs.
To exclude a task from the list, tap&hold it and select 'Hide'.
X button
Using the X button, you can use some actions as follows:
Tap: really close
Tap&Hold: show context menu
Drag: some gestures (To minimize, drag toward down. To show Today, drag toward left.)
Program Launcher
Using key or tap, You can launch some applications, functions and contacts(phone call or e-mail).
Key operation
To shift the Key operation mode, double-execute WkTask.exe or WkTaskCmd.exe(recommended because of smaller size). Some start options are available too.
Brightness/Volume controller
You can control them in real time with key or tap.
Other functions rotation, suspend, reboot, network connection, etc.
Preferences
To customize, it has a great deal of parameters. Enjoy your self!
FAQ
Q. I want to move and resize a Task-list.
A. To move and resize it, tap&drag the edge or adjust values in Preference->General1->Offsets.
Q. I cannot see any directories except "My Documents" to configure the skins and launcher.
A. It is a bad culture of Window Mobile and Pocket PC. To see all directories, install FileDialogChanger and gsgetfile for international(direct link).
Q. I would like to translate WkTASK to my native language. / The translation is a bit off.
A. Thank you for your help. I will create a MUI file from your mapping table and upload to this site. Please send me the table which format is as follows:
[English Text 1] [TAB] [Translated Text 1]
[English Text 2] [TAB] [Translated Text 2]

looks nice, let me try this one
Hey,
Great software. Two things though. First, when activated by vertical drag the launcher shows but hides immediately after lifting the stylus to tap an application. Second, is there a way to adjust the hight of the task bar? It leaves a few pixels from the top and bottom and when I click the start menu white shadow shows behind the bar.
Thanks,
dEM
Anyone..?
i've been using WkTask for about a week.
If i use the launcher it stays ther so i can tap as many boxes as i want. Its not a feature i use though so have not loaded any apps into it.
dont think you can resize the task bar, but that said i have not noticed any white lines. (apart fromthe battary life indicator cross the top)

As already mentioned some posts above your post, this thread is double.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330855
for the correct thread.
Stupid me! Thanx!
In my Taskbar I have ActiveSync listed and one other executable which I would like to hide because if they are active all the time, there isn't much point in having them displayed (when I terminate both of them, they come straight back).
What is the path to disable AS from the taskmanager as it does not show up when I look for it from within WkTask?
Also, I presume the executable is TF3D as when I terminate that, TF3D closes and restarts. Anyone know how to hide that executable if it TF3D?
Regards

Hold your stylus on the app you want to hide and after a second a menu pops up where you can choose to always hide it. There is an option in the preferences 1st page to 'always show' so that must be switched off as well.
The TF3D app is named 'Start', repeat the above for it too.
Holding the stylus on the close button also beings up a menu which includes the option of hiding.
Excellent, thanks, worked a treat.

I use the Tilt.
I reuploaded it, now there shouldnt be Scroll Bars Anymore
Just so I'm clear, what kind of help are you asking for at this stage? I can help test the product but I haven't done any mobile development.
If you haven't done developement just Keep trying it and report bugs! If you have special wishes or ideas for the GUI you are welcome
Im just programming the Launcher Part
All I'm after is an app that uses motion for unlocking. In the purest form it can be like the iPhone unlocker where there's a bar to slide but, unlike S2SU, the bar should be positionable and it shouldn't write over anything else on the screen. That means if you have something like SpB Mobile Shell, when your phone is locked it shows the Now screen. I would want to see the Now screen still. Here's a mockup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
More advanced features can be things like custom-defined motions for unlocking including no visual hints which in effect will function like a password. As for functionality outside of unlocking...it doesn't really interest me because so many other applications already do that. Is there something you need tested now? When I ran it, it didn't seem like it was at that stage yet.

IMHO, "Invisible Lock Screen" and "Gesture to Unlock" are 2 distinct challenges. I agree it would be cool to combine the 2. But you may need to prioritize those 2 efforts.
My personal opinion would be to implement a small, very efficient gesture recognition module that generates an event based on the a successful gesture match. It would be like "Gesture 2 Action". Then others like A_C could perhaps integrate or make it an option for S2U2. With G2A, then again, it could be used to do anything - launch an app, set an alarm, disable bluetooth, etc...
The invisible lock screen would be nice also, but I think it presents entirely different challenges.
I will reupload Preview B in some minutes, there you will be able to Launch programs by Gestures
You can configurate it in a text file
Scilor, aren't there already apps that launch programs via gesture? Touch Commander is one. I'm sure there are more. What are your development priorities?

But those are usually simple one-directional gestures. Not more complex ones.

I guess what I'm after is what's not available now. To start, a very simple low-impact unlock slider that doesn't override the visible screen, and to finish a custom-motion unlocker with option to hide the visible hint i.e. slider track.

That's true. If the primary purpose of this new app will be to one-up Touch Commander with complex gestures, I guess that would be something new.
I just Uploaded the new Version!
now you can launch programs with it (configuratible in the gestures.cfg)
interesting app, works on my touch. Thanks!
I just uploaded a new Version Alpha 0.0.1
I little improved the gesture recognition and made it a littel bit Skinnable
Iam Primary working on a Launcher, because i dont' know how to block buttons, if iam able to do this, i will implent the Locking function
interesting project but in future it should be possible to make gestures in any app!

[DEV] - HomeCatcher Redirect n Button to any Launcher

OK, Based on feedback here sounds like this is working properly. I have uploaded a new version 2.1 this is mostly just code clean up on my end as well as a better icon etc.
Installation Instructions:
Sideload HomeCatcher, also make sure you have an Alternative Launcher installed ie. ADW, Launcher Pro, VTL.Launcher.
Here is the key as HomeCatcher is a Background Process it works in the background no need to even open the app itself, that part of the app is there for information purposes only.
After install the first time you press the you are presented with a menu asking you to select which app to complete the action with one of the options will be HomeCatcher if you select HomeCatcher while also selecting "use as default" on that popup menu the next press of the button will present you with a menu asking which Alternative Launcher you wish to use and also allows you to set that option as default.... the content of this popup depends on the alternative Launchers you have already installed, ex. ADW, VTL.Launcher, GoLauncher.
following setting both HomeCatcher as default and then your Alternative Launcher as default.
When you hit the button depending on your setup first push brings up little bottom screen nook menu second push it should make it act like a normal home button taking you to your alternative launcher. Some setups may operate differently. Just uninstall the app to return n button to normal nook operation.
If you have any issues during install (ie. selecting the wrong option as default etc.) you can kind of reset those defaults with two actions. Number one. Uninstall HomeCatcher. Navigate to the Settings/Applications section and find all the alternative launcher apps you have installed and open each ones details page and if the Clear Defaults Button is clickable Click it... also do this for the Main Nook Home app. Once you have done this reboot your Nook Tablet and reinstall HomeCatcher... making sure to read and select appropriately each popup box when pressing the button for the first few times.
Please Provide Feedback..... Constructive Feedback Please (ie. Logs, errors, etc.)

Perfect! just what I was looking for! We already removed home and it doesn't do anything too bad, says it cant start intent: com.bn.blah.blah
well... I may need the home apk from the tablet if this doesn't work so that I can get the proper intent.... so if you have it available post it up for me. Thanks!
intent is:
<action android:name="com.bn.intent.action.home" />
been working on this all night so had it ready.
well that's the one I am attempting to override.... so hopefully it works!
This seems to work. The only thing I notice is that you press it once and it brings up the bottom toolbar, press again and it gives you the "complete using" dialog. I like it. Do you know if there is a way to make long press on the n act like the menu button. Dont know if that is possible but if it is, it would be amazing! Thank you for releasing this.
Long press is usually not overrideable..... but I will look into that.
Works perfectly for me, thanks!
Works good, not sure what i think about it bringing up the menu first tho. Would be nice to have the option to disable that if possible.
But yea i prefer it even as-is more than button savor. Good job!
Works great for me.
Thanks works great...
Thanks works great...
Easy to use and now it feels like a real tablet without requiring root thanks!

As far as I know home switcher only allows you to set what the default home application is.... the n button will still bring you to the nook home app.... hence this app was born.
Very nice. By the time i get my NT, this is gonna be soo beast!!
I <3 Devs
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have sd card boot. But, short of that, root and this app make the NT a pretty kick-ass device.
I can get to Zeam very, very quickly and my family members can continue to have the stock Nook experience. Thank you and everyone else who's been working on opening up the NT!
Let me just add - I bought the Nook Tablet for the Nook Reader experience. I would not want to lose that through installing CM7 or similar as a native boot.
Where we stand now meets my needs perfectly - preserve the Nook environment, and have the ability to side-load and run as an Android tablet.
Booting from SD would be great if we get to that point, but for me that is less of a priority.
Good work on the Home button over-ride.
...........
Works great for me
Beautiful! Thank you.

MiniCM9 Hints, Tips, Tricks, Mods, Fixes

--------------- The following Hints, Tips, Tricks, Mods and Fixes... refer to MiniCM9-3.0.4 ICS 4.0.4/CM9 port for the Χ10 mini
Here is the Official Thread
If any of this information is incorrect - enable troll mode > reply
Contacts
Stop right there! Before you even think about flashing to Minicm9 (or any other rom)
You should Know that the “Back Up and Restore” app on your x10 is USELESS!
Use another app or service to back up your contacts ect...
You wont be able to install “back up and restore” after your flash and even if your a smart **** and manage to install it... Trying to open the .sbf file will result in “error file unreadable” there are no other programs or apps that can help you open that sbf file (trust me I looked)
To retrieve my contacts. I used pc companion to “repair” my device. Restored my contacts on the phone with back up and restore then went to............... Contacts> Export to SdCard
This gave me a .vcf file that I uploaded to google mail.
When booting MiniCM9 I checked the box to sync contacts .
Hardware Keyboard
For me the hardware keyboard didn’t have full functionality right out the box.
It would have saved me allot of time if I knew that the settings are cooked into the rom.
They can be found in... Settings > Advanced > Keyboard Layout > and for me it was qwerty-en
Wallpaper
I noticed that the default wallpaper was oversized for the home screen
Heres a tool I made to help you find the optimum size for your wallpapers
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Having the optimum size wallpaper may improve performance by 0.0001% and its nice to have everything in proportion. (Each spacer represents 20 pixels)
I use an alternative home screen called go LauncherPro its highly customisable and works well with Minicm9 (and doesn’t have the google search at the top) it can be found in the market.
Internet (data connection/mobile internet)
I had issues connecting to the internet ( O2-UK ) to solve this I text ACTIVE to 2020.
and they sent the settings to my phone via text
Other providers may have a similar service try google magic
Icons
When I first flashed minicm the icons at the top were distorted and tiny
BUT! I later re-flashed and the icons weren’t distorted im not sure what’s what with this?
Im assuming the icons were fixed when I registered for “push updates” found in
settings > system
But im not sure....
also the dialer was out of proportion and was cutting off the top half of the numbers I entered however this also seems to have fixed itself.
Boot Animation
Big thumbs up to whoever created that! Its a work of art! But it has a massive impact on the speed of starting the phone up and in cases were you have a low battery and need to make that emergency call its not going to help at all. I disabled it
Settings > Performance > Disable boot animation
Music Player
I took one look at the Apollo app and decided I didn’t like it
The one I use is called mort player its in the market for free and iv never had a problem with it. I dont know if theres a better one out there coz once I found mort player I stopped looking.
Im a big fan of an internet radio station called progressive at www.di.fm
They have a free app in the market search for di.fm
Camera
Im still working on this one... The pre installed camera is.... well its naff
I like the on-screen button... but it shaves off allot of the screen and there’s a big ugly menu bar thing
I spent 4 hours in the kitchen trying to get the original camera app to work with no joy -.-
If you know how to do it or have an alternative app that works well (inc hardware button) please let me know and ill place it here for everyone.
I also don’t like cameras to make a sound when I take a photos I normally fix this by making a blank sound file and replacing the cameras sound files (whilst keeping the file names intact)
Removeables
bojler has a nice list of apps that can be removed to free up space
(GUIDE) MiniCM9 - Free up system memory, delete unwanted system apps.
Big thanks to the developers of this rom! My old nakerd x10 mini pro is now an up to date BEAST
If you have any other hints/tips/tricks/mods/fixes please share them ill add them to the head post
reserved
Thanks for the info.
Did you get the info where the sound files are located to deactivate / overwrite the nasyt nasty foto & focus sound?
In Android > 4.4 it's optional but on this little Xperia x10 mini it's hittung my nerves and i would like to change that

I am looking to have a Launcher designed. It doesnt need to go into the Play Store, it'd be just for me I guess.
My idea behind this is to have the Recent Apps page as part of the Desktops
The desktop would consist of 2 main page types
The first is the Recent Apps page.
This is the page you go to by clicking on the App Switcher button, the Square icon that normally takes you to recent apps.
It has the same function as the recent apps page, except that it now displays them on the Desktop as thier own stand alone page. This page is for Recent Apps only, things like widgets and apps themselves can not be put onto this page. The Recent apps page will have the option to display 4 app on the page or up to 8. Individual Recent apps can also be pinned to the top of this page, so that no matter what app you open, your pinned open apps will always remain on the top. To veiw more open apps, you scroll down vertically. To close an open app you simply press the X. To get to your apps, you slide to the left.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The second desktop page type is the applications page. This page type contains all your apps and widgets. Because the launcher does not have an app drawer all your applications will be here. They can be put into folders and organized like a normal launcher. App pages are added by dragging an app to the right until a new page appears. Infinite pages can be added. When an application is opened, the screen slides to the Recent apps screen to show the app before popping opn to open your app. The app screen can be returned to by pressing the Circle home button. to get here from the recent apps screen you slide the recent apps screen to the left.
The Launcher will not have scrolling wallpaper.
The launcher would not have an option to have infinite scroll. Itwould stop scrolling pages when you hit the recent apps screen at the left or the last app page at the right.
The launcher icons would be stock Lollipop icons.

Another idea, but not needed, would be to have a unified inbox at the very far left after the Recent Apps page.
it would go.
Unified Inbox - Recent Apps - App Pages - More App Pages
Maybe you could make one of the existing launchers do this. Nova etc are very customisable.

Nah, all the launcher Ive used still has the Recent Apps and Apps on two seperate areas with no way to swipe between them, just the home button and recent button.
Take BB10 for example. That's my idea. The recent apps are on one page and swiping one way takes you to the apps pages.
You can use this repo I've made for making your own launcher:

Sorry, no idea how to code. This was more of a request thread.
I see.
There are some issues with getting the list of recent apps, which I've found while developing my "app manager" app :
1. it could sometimes be empty, especially when starting the device.
2. it isn't guaranteed to return you the amount of items you want.
3. Some items are quite weird to show (like launchers).
4. Starting with Kitkat, the permission to get this list of recent apps has become deprecated, and can only return you apps you've launched from the current app.
5. Starting with Lollipop, there are a lot more to get from the user (a lot of statistics), but it requires user's confirmation.
