I want to get some themes on my phone but it appears you need a home replacement app, so whats the best one for the x10?
try Helix Launcher. donut version
For me the best one is PandaHome
Hi kingsize93 - Have you tried Helix and OpenHome+ ??
I'd like to hear your thoughts of them all if possible?
Thanks.
Zeam can be a good option as well
Personally I like Home ++ Landscape looks awesome
GDE is the best!

for me GDE is also the best with the Hero theme. Smooth and cool animation. The cube transition is awesome.
for me Crazy Home is a new home screen replacement for your Android phone with OS 1.6 and higher. Desktops/Screens: Up to 3 separate desktops each with up to 5 screens. Easily scroll through your desktops by swiping up and down. Dynamically add/remove screens or desktops, no restarting needed.

Agrééd! I tried them all, Home++ is simply amazing, especially the powerstrip, wow!
Any way to get launcherpro on the X10?
Home++ is wonderful!! But when I tap on the menu icon, there is a too big time latency before the menù is completely loaded!

That only happens the first time. They did this to accelerate startup. Go to Preferences>Performance>"Lazy load'' and uncheck

When you are in the (Home++) homescreen, hit the menu button (left button on the Xperia with four small squares on it) then you'll see a menu popping up with 'preferences' in the lower left corner.
Home++ is the best and nicest looking i came across.
Helix for Donut
I use the donut version of helix and i am very impressed by it.

Dock shortcuts, change number of screens, and a few other things. check out the thread. It's pretty sweet.

It's basically stock, but you can change the number of screens you have, and it has a preview feature [double tap the screen and it will show previews of your home screens.] There's also a dock next to the app tray, you can have four icons next to it.

Coming from a G1, I just couldn't get used to N1's lack of the hardware "Phone" button. Helix Launcher2 solves this with its dock.

Gotta side with you on this one. Nothing beats the built in task killer. I prefer not to have a separate program for that.
I've been a die hard home++ user and just pushed helix for the first time tonight. I use app control for my task control, as I kind of think that home++ does a shoddy job. Anyway, Helix is great and I love the fact that I can still hide the taskbar; however, there's 1 thing that puts Home++ above it. . . and that's a button to bring down said task bar. It's great to be able to hide it, but what about when I want to look at notifications that are coming in? Home++ allows for this. It's the 1 thing holding me back.
cyanogen w/GDE home
extended home
i use extended home. it supports up to 10 home screens and customizable submenus. i tried the helix and home++ launchers not bad but helix uses to much memory (9.5 MB) and home++ is to slow and wallpapers don't snap to the screen your on.
HelixLauncher 1.3BETA2
got to go with home++. scrolling through screens is ultra smooth and having the bottom scrollable dock is cool. plus it saves screen real estate that the phone, browser, silent and vibrate widgets would usually take up.

I have discovered last night Zeam.
Faster than anything i have tried so far. Has 9 screens, 3 launcher button, nice screen previews. I have all 9 screens loaded with widgets and is running faster than any other home.
After i tried it, got rid of helix and Panda.

Thanks for the suggestion. Zeam is very fast.
I tried Helix, Home++, and Android Mate (which I really like for a simplistic approach), but Zeam has a smaller footprint and is very fast.
Hi Guys
I may sound silly but when I install Launcher Pro..I don't get any option now 7 screen.
Nor I am finding any option or something to work around on it...
what I am doing wrong. I am using Google Nexus1
BTW, I am new here and hello to everyone.
Thanks
Sam
With Launcher Pro up, hit menu, then go to preferences (not settings).
thnx..it was so easy and i was not able to work on it
and how can i see all my screen at once like it doesn't have those small dots like we get as default on g1

Or pinch inwards (same action as zooming out on Maps or Browser)
this only applies to the pro version?

There's no pro version. Just pinch your homescreen like ur zooming out on browser or googlemaps.
it's called launcherpro but the pro is not a seperate version. for now theres only one.
Think he called it that because it's basicly a stock launcher, but with added features, so launcherpro.
personally i hope he makes a donate or paid version because i will gladly buy it. even in only it's beta form this is amazing.
QuickDesk Beta in the Market get it now !!
Looks pretty slick.

by double tapping the home button, you can bring up a custom 5x4 screen that lets you place shortcuts/widgets on it that opens over top whatever app you're running
seems like a really great idea
Re: QuickDesk Beta
Great idea, very useful. Must have app
This is...sexy. I am enjoying it. It took me a few seconds to figure out how it worked, but once I got it, It's sexy. hehehe.
Oh man. Genius. Thanks dude.
EDIT: landscape mode would be nice.
Hrm, just tried on 2.2 and it doesn't seem to work unless I set it up wrong. When I tap the home button twice it just takes me home lol.

you need to set it as your default launcher, then in quickdesk, you can set up your launcher as whatever you want
Jep4444 said:

So, basically, clear defaults, and when you press home, and it says what launcher do you want to use, instead of launcher2, adw, or launcherpro (whatever you're using) you press "QuickDesk" then you double tap the home button, bring up quickdesk (you have to tap pretty quickly) and then press options - preferences. Then click 'default home' and set it back to your launcher. There, you can also change the delay for the double tap. Default is 300 miliseconds.
It's a cool app! Now I m thinking of moving the apps from my ADW apps dock to the QuickDesk, so I hv access to those apps anytime, anywhere!
Thanks for the great app!

Is it like Power Strip?
Edit // market didnt work some minutes ago.. now it does. Its not like power strip
I'm loving this app. Thanks for the notification!
I can't make a decision between this and power strip.
I love this app! Very useful!
Sexy as hell
Very nice, two suggestions, add the option for a notification bar, and have it close on widget selection.
Anyone knows how to add an extra home screen.
Standard it has 3 home screens. 1 left, 1 middle and 1 right..
can there be addad a 4th one??
no, that's not possible, you need a launcher to do that

Im assuming you are new to android. in android version 1.6, default launcher have 3 screens.
but if you want more you need to use 3rd party application for it (can extend upto 11 screens).
search and get your self educated, we have many discussions even in XDA on this.
For starters as free application Try ADW launcher (donut) version for X10 its free. but if you want more features go for paid application. I recommend GDE
even further, when you got your phone rooted, you can remove default launcher and have 3rd party app as your default. I did it. good thing is in X10 timescape itself works as a home launcher.

Yea the beat has no way to launch apps so I uninstalled it. You have to hit the hm key to leave SlideMe and go back ou tto the reg home scree. The non beta app you dont have to do that.

you can set it as a home replacement, so a launcher....or you can just use it as a normal app
if you set as a launcher then it will have it's own app drawer
I think its brill, could do with a K9 plug in though

I noticed that when trying it out. It was quite disheartening since I REALLY love the app and enjoy being able to modify which items are where on the screen layout, but without an app drawer, it's kinda.... useless.
Update: Looks like Beta 2 has been released, and app drawer functionality has made it's way back in.
Horray for the updated features as well as being able to use it as my launcher replacement!
I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I might file it as a feature request on the bug reporting page - Pressing the "Home" button on an HTC EVO doesn't bring you back to the main launcher page, instead leaves you either in an app drawer view, or in a settings menu. To get back to the launcher, you need to press the "Back" button several times.

I also find this frustrating, but overall the launcher is excellent.
I do suffer with FC's at times which just seem to not stop, but I'm overlooking these while in beta stage.

I've posted a bug report about the home button and got a response. Hopefully they end up getting a fix out for it relatively soon.
I think some of the FC's you might be getting are from the Android version you're running. You have a Sony X10? Aren't you running 1.6? I'll have to look further, but I think that the app is compatible with Eclair or above currently.
Great home replacement app! I do have some pet peeves though:
- As others have said, you cannot return to your old homescreen even when pressing the Home key several times. It would be nice for it to revert to a previous home launcher (e.g. ADW, Launcherpro) unless prompted again.
- Is it possible to make use of K9 Mail instead of GMail for the email client? A plugin of some sort would be mighty fine.
Other than that, this might be my next favorite app for Android.

The X10 has been given the 2.1 update, so thats cool.
It turns out the FC's i was getting was due to a google voice beta i had installed, so removed that and its been fine since!

If you enter the App Drawer and press Menu -> Home Settings -> Home Switching -> Toggle "Switch Homes"
I think this is what you are referring to? This should allow you to use the Home button to toggle between SS and your main launcher.
EDIT: Beta 3 was released. http://gsfn.us/t/1yjjb
Fixes "Home" button while using SS as primary launcher. I <3 the devs of this app, they REALLY listen!
