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

Hi. (From Norway so sorry about my bad english)
I Have some questions about the x10i and I hope someone can give some answers.
I have searched alot around the web trying to find some way to change my home screens or my themes if you will. And i am trying out these different types for applications for my phone like AHome, Panda Home, ADW Launcher, etc.
but nothing works. ADW Launcher doesn't open up at all.
Now for the questions:
1. Is it posible to get some help about getting themes to work on x10i, and
how the program works? and how to make them work?
2. is there some applications out there that you can make your own themes
without having to script it? for example sony ericsson theme creator is
a good application to make themes only i want something better.
3. if i root my x10i will i loose my warranty of the phone?
4. is it posible to make the phone vibrate every time i touch the screen?
I saw the x10 mini has it, and some other phones. is it some kind off app
to the x10i that i can use? tryed searching for some apps in the marked
place but didn't find anything usefull.
5. If I want to for example change my fonts on the phone.
why do I have to root it?
can't i simply replace a font file with a file manager?
Hope someone can help me with this.
and once again, sorry about my bad english.
Hi. Welcome to XDA and the wonderful world of everything X10.
I hope you are using ADW Launcher for donut as we are still stuck on Android 1.6, version compatibility needs to be checked always.
1. The latest versions of ADW Launcher is "theme-able" and lots of themes available in the market, just search for ADW themes. Other Home apps (GDE, Ahome etc) also have plenty of themes in the market
2. To create themes HERE is a good starting point. HERE is a good collection of themes, for other themes browse through THIS thread.
3. YES! rooting voids your warranty, but un-rooting gives you your warranty again. There are lots of root methods search THIS thread for more info
4. I don't know of any such apps but searching in the sub-forums of the devices you mentioned might give you more insights
5. Fonts are stored in the system partition and not in SDcard, to access the PHONE or SYSTEM partition you need to have ROOT... to know more about root, read up some basic Linux documentation (search using google)
Hope the info was useful. Browse through all the threads (esp the stickys) and you will find lots of info....
thank you so much for the answers.
only one question left then
I downloaded adw launcher donut from market place. and tryed downloading some themes. but nothing happend. and the adw launcher was installed correkt.
but i didn't find the application in my menu. and didn't find any way to set the theme
that i had downloaded. så I just uninstalled both.
but do you mean that we have to have android 2.1 or above for adw launcher to work
properly?

Did you select your theme in ADW settings?
ADW settings? how or where are the settings when i can't even find or open up the program?
ADW Laucher will not show up in your main menu like other apps,its a launcher (home replacement app), install it and press the centre (hardware) button (the one with the square mark above it) or home button and select ADW launcher. To use ADW launcher as your default home, tick the use as default option. The menu options are there when you click the menu button (one with 4 squares on top of it) and ADW settings. Hope this solves the issue.

thanks alot. that helped. it works now.
now its only one thing missing and that os yo learn how to make my own themes.
i know how to make everything like for eksample photoshop and flash but how to make a x10i theme is a little more complicated i think.
if anyone knows how to make themes without having to script?
that would be very helpful
i wanna make my own themes. isnt there any program to make themes for x10i
that looks like Sony Ericsson themes creator? only better
Have 3 Gtabs running Calkulin Clemsyn como v6. Two run great, but on one I randomly get blank notifications & when that happens VTL Launcher partially freezes (can switch screen, open some apps but eventally will totally freeae). From the point the blank notification appears I can't get into the VTL menu to restart VTL & while holding Power brings up the power off option, it would let me pick a selection. I have to hold power to turn off.
I notice that the version of VTL is 1.61. but there is a newer version out, 1.6.5. Clemsyn says on his post (in development) that trying to change the default launcher could cause sleep of death. Not sure if that means the process of changing it while the system is running or if he means swithcing to a different launcher!!!
To the question....Can I use ADB to overwrite the vtllauncer.apk in /system/app/ with the newer version, then reboot & it work correctly?
Try it and tell the rest of us if it works. Since the "old" vtl is a system app launcher in v6, there's too much of a chance something will go wrong.
What you can do is this. Install another launcher, something like adw or whatever. Then use system app remover to take out the old vtl. Then install the new vtl. Then voila you have the new vtl.
Blank Notificatons

More on the blank notifications. Seems to be two different ones. One points to the time in the Notifcation Bar & the other appear below the home icon on the notifcation bar.
I've also duplicated this on a second gTab.
Seems to do it most when moving icons near the notification bar/trash can
Oh, I know what you're talking about now. Go into vtl settings, choose none for swiping up and swiping down, and then also choose to never hide task bar. After this, the blank notification will never appear again.
Replaced VTL. So far so good!

Downloaded & installed ADW Launcher from freewarelovers.com. Downloaded System App Remover from Marketplace & installed. Switched to ADW Launcher. Ran System App Remover & backuped up original VTL then removed it. Used Rootexplorer to copy new version of VTL to /system/app & changed permissions. Installed the new version. Rebooted & selected new VTL as default, then removed ADW & reboooted. All the things I've tried so far appear to be working normally. I'll do more testing & report back.

There isn't a "none" option in Swipe Up/Down Actions. I have Show Previews, Open/close App Drawer, Show/hide statusbar, Open/close notifications, Move to default desktop/Open notification, or Open App!
I'll try the Open/close App Drawer - Up & Open/close Previews - Down & see how that works.
Thanks for the help.

For those that are interested. I have sucessfully replaced VTL Laucncer (v1.6.1) in Calkulin Clemsyn combo v6 with VTL Laucher v1.6.5 from gojimi's vegan site http://vegantab.gojimi.com/vt-labs/vtl-launcher/ (see post # 5 if interested) on 2 of my 3 gTabs (granddaugher wouldn't give hers up long enough for me to do hers). I have used both extensively over the last couple of days with no issues. Feel free to test if you feel the need to upgrade. The only thing I did that I didn't mention in post #5 is that I did a backup in CWM before I did any of this...just in case.
Is an upgrade really necessary
I tried to up grade without success.
Is an upgrade really necessary? What is better with VTL 1.6.5?
It sounds like a lot of work?

You can,t do a direct upgrade because VTL is included as a system app...that's why you have to do the entire procedure.
Probably no big reason to upgrade...I did it because I thought it was causing the blank notifications that was locking mine up. If you change the settings in your VTL (above), you should be OK. If you want to see the changes between 1.6.1 & 1.6.5 you can go to gojimi's site.
Really didn't take long to do...maybe 15-20 minutes and I've only been using Android/gTab for about 3 weeks.
May be worth keeping in mind for when gojimi releases a version with more features, improvement or bug fixes.
THANKS...

Minor correction.
The reason why you can't just upgrade is because in order to upgrade an app the app has to be closed, uninstalled, and newer version install. You can't do that with a launcher if it's the only launcher available. That's why you have to install another launcher, uninstall vtl, then install the newer version. Otherwise, the system would crash and burn if you ain't got no launcher running.
The whole process should take about 1.5 minute.
(1) Install adw launcher.
(2) Press home button and choose adw launcher.
(3) Using root explorer uninstall vtl.
(4) Install new vtl.
(5) Press home button and choose vtl as your defalt.
How hard can that be?
Sounds Pretty Simple

Hey Captirwin, are you one of the people who a month ago emailed me asking me if I'd mod the gtab for you for a modest fee? Or was that someone else?

I was one of those people.
That said, following the easy to follow instructions on your website, I was able to install a custom ROM, and do the GPS install.
I did make a modest donation.

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.
Pretty much what happens is, I download it at the play store, and open the launcher. It works fine, but when I push the home button, it goes back to the stock launcher. Every time, I try to set a launcher as the default one, my screen just kind of jumps from the bottom up, and nothing happens. For the Google Now launcher, It gives me the prompt to either cancel, or go into settings. After selecting settings, it does the weird jump again. Kind of getting annoyed, since the stock Emui launcher doesn't have an app drawer. I tired it rooted, and unrooted. I do not have busybox installed, so I'm stumped. Is there hidden settings somewhere to change the default home launcher? I can't find it unlike the previous version. Maybe someone who has had the same problem as me, can shed some light into this problem. Thank you.
goto settings>apps
then click on 'advanced'.
there you can find default app settings,click on it and select launcher and set your desired launcher as default.
and dont forget to add that launcher in protected apps

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to replace the stock launcher in MiUI with launchers like Nova or GNL?
Will uninstalling the system launcher and pushing a
3rd party launcher to system with system permissions work?
If not, another workaround?
Thanks and Happy New Year:angel:

Will that mean long pressing back button keeps Nova in the memory? As I have set the back button to kill the foreground app.

Thanks for the reply brother, but like said, it gets killed while long pressing back button. Even though sometimes it's by mistake, it still kinda bugs me. That's why I asked if pushing it into system prevents it from getting killed.
