I tried myself but always get errors when recompiling apk. Basically, this will work simply by decompiling SecLauncher3.apk, edit Bools.Xml in "values" folder
<bool name="config_fixedWallpaperOffset">true</bool>
to
<bool name="config_fixedWallpaperOffset">false</bool>
and recompiling the apk.
I'm on 4.2.2. Xposed module for enable scrolling homescreen does not work. Can someone edit the launcher for our gt-i9195??
nvm, I did it after an extra bit of trial&error.
I attached the modded launcher if someone needs it. Some things:
_obviously, this apk won't install like regular apks! Move it to system/app
_backup original seclauncher3.apk just in case. Oh, backup with titanium data of tw home too
_modded apk is smaller than stock one. Don't worry IT'S FINE
_don't worry about bootloops, if something goes wrong your phone will reboot in touchwiz easy home (assuming you've not deleted it)
_fix permissions of seclauncher3.apk after everything is done (rw- r-- r--), even if I don't think it's that important
_scrolling from the very left to the very right homescreen with one swipe to the left looks weird, don't know why. Maybe this feature was just meant to be off. However, if you turn off infinite scrolling, problem will stay hidden (very simple to turn that feature off, do a little search)
enjoy

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!

ok thanks Im going to try to change twiz3.0.apk and see what that does first. Thanks!
HI guys
I seem to try a lot of roms but would like an easy optioin to go back to my preferred layout. I dont want to use a backup program as I am also learning rom cooking.
OK so what I want to do is take overcome, pack adwlauncher into it AND modify its settings (add icon theme, move front screen icons, add some widgets to the homescreen etc)
I Have been experimenting and not having much luck.
First thing i did was edit the build.prop and modify the density to my liking. Works fine.
I deleted launcher.apk from and added adwlauncher.apk to /system/app.
It boots but no launcher , I assumed it would come up with the default "select program for this action" in first book allowing me to set adwlauncher, but it does not.
So useless to me, no launcher.
How do i do this?
I also assume that there is a better place to put adw so as to allow for updating? Where are market programs stored?
ALSO
How do I change adw's settings to my liking and pre package them?
I assume I can just setup adw how I like, take the config files off my galaxy AND package them into the overcome zip somewhere. Where might they be and where might I need to put them to.
Oh one other thing, adwthemes. These come from market I'm assuming as an apk. If I just add the apk to appropriate place is that enough for adw to see them so that once my config is in place the correct icons will be used.
Thanks very much for any help guys and excuse me if these answers are easy to find, I didnt have much luck with my search terms.
Hopefully one day I will be talented enough to build my own overcome. lol
Oh, for those who dont know, overcome is a rom for our galaxy tabs, forget the references I'm after generic help
I'm not sure, but I believe that putting apps in the /system/app folder makes it more difficult to update them.
I would create a folder called 'data' in your ZIP, with the APK in it. Not sure though, never tested it Perhaps you'll have to modify the update-script too, to make it work, but hey, that's the fun of cooking
I thought so, because that is a protected system folder..
Anyway I half figured this one out. I need to push /data/com.ADWFOLDER with an update script. Re the settings. Unfortunately, I have been told this is impossible..
Can anyone elaborate?
You could possibly try renaming it launcher.apk..
So, I have installed the Home.apk that is being used in the Xperia Arc.
It works perfectly, but.... I decompiled it using the APKtool, changed the Dock background (the one that is in the bottom of the screen) into a grayscale version of it. I didn't change absolutely anything else.
I compiled it, signed it, did the whole procedure, moving it to its folder with the correct permissions.... But, when I restart the phone i get an error about the Sony Ericsson Setup Wizard, and the SEMC ID something. I get a completely black screen.
I even tried to build it in to my rom, I still cant get it to run. Just a black screen with the taskbar.
If i change the Home.apk to the one with the original blue tint on the dock, it works perfectly. Any ideas?
Apparently i was taking the long way... You can just move files and edit them (if they are pictures) and then paste them inside the apk without even having to decompile it.
I just moved the edited dock background to its correct folder and it worked... Whatever...
Is there any way to re-enable the continuous scrolling in the home screens/app screens via a hack?
Idk about stock but beans build 1 has continuous scrolling everywhere, which is awesome
sent from my Note 2
Please keep questions in the Q&A section. Thank you. :highfive:
I asked this same question yesterday and got no replies. It is called infinite scrolling and I really want it as well! I think it is retarded that we have to manually select widgets or apps when one handed actions are very difficult with this device.
Continuous / Infinite Scrolling
Found this while poking around in the /system/csc/feature.xml file that enables/disables infinite scrolling on my SCH-I605 (running 'Beans' build 3 with the 4x5 TW launcher, so YMMV):
To Enable, find the "CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation" node in the file (was towards the bottom in my file) and set to "false" as below:
Code:
<CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
REQUIRES: root.
If the node is missing, try adding it somewhere in the file (as long as it's between the "FeatureSet" tags.
Make sure the file permissions are set to 644, then reboot.
This setting affects both the launcher and apps/widgets.
Change the "false" to "true" to disable scrolling.
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!
