Hi guys!
Now that we have 2.1 and Androids nice gallery, is there any way to get a simple shortcut to the android standard gallery in the app drawer instead of Mediascape?
I know its there because some Apps that let you choose pictures for whatever reason use it and not Mediascape, but I have not found a way to simply open it from the app drawer...
i have found the APK for gallery but doesn't seem to work, have a play see if you can get it working?

No luck here...
dammn SE, could have at least given us a choice
Lol man just download ADW launcher and create a shortcut fot the Gallery activity
it actually works
people in this forum seem to surrender too easily
Or you could just add the Picture Frame widget to one of your home screens. Clicking the widget takes you to the 3D gallery.
Picture Frame takes you only to the 3D Gallery once and when u select the pic u want to use u cant go to gallery again just by clicking on PF widget. What to do then? I want that gallery and not mediascape
I swear I saw it one of the eary vids of 2.1 :s

Creating a shortcut to the gallery activity works nicely, thanks mate!
Would be nice to have it appear in the app drawer though...
But is it possible to get the shortcut over to the standard SE launcher in 2.1? I kinda liked the new default launcher, well compared to the old one in 1.6 :-D

Most of all because it looks more like ADW
stock music
IS THERE the stock music player in 2.1 or are we still stuck with timescape
I think its this app: http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
I already tried to install it but it fails to update or start.
They are all there, just hidden that is all.
the APK's are sat in system/app/ in the root directory and the handset.
All you need to do is make a link to it and and you will have them there.
Oh thanks Chewitt, I didn't know there was a built-in media player in 2.1. That one works fine and is very fast! Fu mediascape

yeah its called Music.apk
ctrl folder gives you link o 3d gallery and a folder option
[APP] Gallery and Music Launcher for Xperia X10 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826311
Also with LauncherPro
A. Now, that we have 2.1, I recommend using LauncherPro instead of ADW - it is much more powerful
B. As suggested for ADW - if you want to create a direct link for the original gallery APP and the original music app, just create activities shortcut (you will find the gallery and music apps in the activities list).

Tal.

install either launcherpro/ADW dont set them as default home. turn off phone/restart select home and not either of the installs (launcherpro/ADW) you've done. now your in the standard home page select the shortcuts you want to drop on one of your 5 screens and its done. i've got the gallery/picture frame and music player, then uninstall launcherpro/ADW, your shortcuts will stay but the option to find them will be gone from the shortcut maker menu
i think this will work

or try the apk on xeviro's post

Hey guys, do you know a scrollable contact widget that works with 1.6? i'm thinking of something like pure messenger, only for contacts.
I know that we'll get eclair soon, but i still wanna knows if there exists something like that. I'm using adw launcher, which is capable of scrolling widgets.
Talking of 2.1, can you tell me a good scrollable contact widget for that? If i'm not wrong, launcher pro (plus?) brings one built in, right?
Cheers

Nope, 2.1 upwards only.
Not that kind you search, but with Launcher-X Pro you can create widgets, at least with contacts (, apps & shortcuts).
For example you can create a widget where you can see up to 7 contacts.
By pressing a button in the widget you can turn to next side of the widget, where are the next 7 contacts.
In every widget you create you can add up to 72 contacts (apps or shortcuts).
Launcher-X Pro is availible in Market in 2 Versions (free & paid)
At the second screen from my phone you can see one of the widgets with my most used contacts. (pictures are pixelized)
http://www.pocketpc.ch/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/100936-homescreens-xperia-x10i-10.html#post759807
Just have a look and try the free version of that app.
I like it.
Thanks for your answers!
I'm already using launcher-x pro, and i really like it for having my most used apps etc at hand.
But scrolling/swiping like in the pure messenger widget is just more intuitive since i don't have to precisely push a button. sounds stupid, i know, but it really makes things easier
I wonder why no one is creating a widget like this, pure messenger already shows that it's possible when you have a capable launcher. and ADW is easily one of the most used launchers out there Or is there another limitation when we're speaking about contacts instead of messages? Probably we're just obsolete fossils with our donut
Thanks anyway for your advices!
Cheers

Ive tried to look for a widget like that too, but had no luck. The best thing you can do is wait for 2.1 to come and then install LauncherPro Plus.. You'll get a scrollable people widget, much like the htc's contact widget.

You can use GDE home and it has built in task bar and additional 4x1 dock that can add any place. you can add any shortcut or contact and change icon and rename each the way you want in both dock and task bars. whats more is that you can add any number of icons and scroll both ways. Check it out.

We have just finished the first release of Go Launcher.
Uploaded onto Google Market. It seems most of users like it.
We are very glad to hear your opinion. Please help us to make it better. Thanks.
Go Launcher is an amazing home replacement app for Android .
-Extremely smooth scrolling
-Convenient icon pop-menu
-Gesture supported
-Useful app drawer to uninstall apps and kill tasks
-Removable screen previews (Up to 30 screens)
Guys~ Let me explain something most of users may concern about:
1. Q: GO Launcher(GL) restart (redraw) sometimes after quitting from other app?
A: It's android's feature that system automatically kill some processes whenever available memory is low. When you see redraw/restart, it means GL has been removed from memory due to the app you just run which might be consuming too much resource (such as games...).. That's the same reason that GL becomes little bit laggy when system's used memory reachs about 250M. In the next two release, we will consider provide a 'keep-in-memory' option to user (like LP already did). That way, android won't kill GL even in case of low memory and you will get better feel of 'speed'.
2. What are the new features of next release? (tomorrow...)
Q:
A. Support scrollable widget and widget resizing!
B. Icons won't be missing and stay the same spot after upgrading.
C. Much faster switching between tabs in function chart.
D. Fix some crash issues for Droid phones
E. Support folder in app drawer.
F. (available two releases later) Theme save and restore.
Also, recommend 'GO SMS' and 'GO Weather' developed by other folks in Dev team. .New Arrivals.
If you like Go Launcher, recommend it to your friends .
We will keep working and make the best launcher for you !
Please check updates from Google Market.
Any feedback please email to [email protected] in case I might be missing questions here in forum. Thanks!
*** UPDATED version 1.2 *****
-New app drawer folder：Drag icon overlay to create new folder
-Supported scrollable & resizable widgets
-Supported customized icons (test function)
-Fixed crash issues in Droid & Droid X (thanks Adam’s help)
-Fixed icon disappearance and livewallpaper
Great so far! But I cant change icon in Dock,...only few Launcher icons are choices. Where is option to chose it from gallery?

Glad you like it. Choosing dock icon (even app icon) from gallery will be in next release. Actually, it will not be just use gallery pic. It's beyond that. :--)
Great work! Looks very promising. Thank you so much.
Can you add the option to turn off vibrations when adding icons, removing home screens etc.

I like you app drawer (or function chart as you call it). But it would be nice if there is a possibility to have less apps on one site (for example only 6 on second page). This isn't possible now, because when you move an app to another page one from the next page comes to the page you moved an app away.
Is there any way to make scrollable widgets work ?
Screen Shot?
Yeah i like this launcher, MIUI Style I love it.
Ok, i'm a big fan of LauncherPro, but I must say that GO Launcher really has a lot of potential. IT IS AWESOME and very refreshing.
Anyway, I think it would be even more awesome with some adjustment
some of the settings are quite... confusing i think. I expected "turn on screen rotation" to turn the screen orientation but instead it is actually the drawer's mode... which is weird.
also, I can has bigger homescreen icon? :< or something like same size icons of MIUI roms.
Resizing widgets would make this launcher awesome.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
BTW i think it still need polishing... FC on me.
but as I said, i would love to see this launcher improving.
Missing animation between homescreen and preview.
Got a FC when i start Go Launcher from the drawer.
Drag and Drop to Dock, native folder support and multilanguage would be nice
Very promising launcher! Keep it up devs!
Just my 2 cents, would it be good if the function chart (or app drawer) can be made into a loop (similar like the dock)? So after the last page we'll return to the first one (without having to flip back several times).
Another minor issue on my HTC Legend (mdpi) the font size on "Add to desktop" looks way too big imho. Maybe you can consider to polish the text as well (e.g. Shortcut instead of ShortCut, Homescreen settings (I think more appropriate as compared to setting)).
Just my 2 cents
Looks real cool. The only thing that keeps me with launcherpro is widget resizing.
Another essential thing that I miss is an option to use images as custom icons for docked apps.
Also I'd highly recommend speeding up the "function chart" scrolling speed.
One more thing that comes to my mind is that item from a homescreen is deleted only when dragged over trash icon. Would be way more convenient if the action was performed when dragged over dock (not only trash icon). That's "cosmetics" tho ;]
Apart from that, incredible work. Love the MIUI style.
Keep up the good work!
Can someone post some screenshots?

I agree with everyone... VERY promising... i would love to see folder support in the app drawer as well as hiding apps (or hiding folder) I'll keep my eye on it for sure.. cant quite take over launcher pro plus yet
For those of you that likes to use Regina 3D Launcher, these are few wallpapers that I mod and been using on my evo , I want to give credit to "zandog". To get the best you need to use desktop visualizer.
Let me know what you guys think.
1- Download Regina 3D Launcher & Desktop Visualizer from the market
2- Download the attachments to your SD card
This is how is going to work: From Regina launcher hit menu and select to change the wallpaper, select the one you like the most, after that press the screen and select android widgets
use desktop visualizer 1x1 SS and place on top of each icon,select the clear icon from the attachments, do the same for each of the icons, select action by selecting the application that you want to use, clear the label and for touch effect select press OK, do this for each icon on every wallpaper, hope you guys like it.

Edit: and i have played with regina launcher, but still have NO idea how you did this.

Every time i try to set one of these as a wallpaper, it just makes a copy on my SD card. What am i doing wrong?
Edit: found out it is the android gallery that is the problem. Dl gallery 3d from the market and use that to apply the wallpaper.

I love the concept and the wallpapers, but when I drag the desktop visualizer over the icons, the trash folder pops up and I cannot drop the desktop visualizer over the icons
Just drop the icon from desktop v as close as you can it will work, does not need to be perfect on top. See if that work if not I send you a new one.

Thanks for the credit, but as I stated in my concept design for this UI, I was commissioned to design this UI for another ROM developer. Therefor it's got a legal copyright. The interface mapping is proprietary but I'm curious if you have you come up with your own code for mapping this interface or is it just the launcher?

Did a quick search seems like no one have made a thread on this.
Attached is what is believed to be, the new SE launcher to come with the 2.3.4 update for the 2011 range Xperia handsets,
which is now also working on X10 with the 2.3.3 update
the new launcher feels smoother, with ability to uninstall apps from app drawer and theme functions (however no themes are provided by SE at this stage)
*EDIT - the power control widget is SwitchPro widget, clock widget is SimiClock. both available from Market.
*NEW VERSION 2.0.A.0.22 launcher:

I can confirm even with stock rom only, X10 feels as smooth as Arc, just install it over the existing launcher. all your widgets and desktop config will be kept.

Lol. Tried it on LG O1. Works nicely.. only problems in app drawer.. the arrow icon in the lower left corner gives a FC...
Edit:
Cant add widgets or anything... guess u cant use it on other devices after all
Edit:
Flashed CM7 and it works nicely on it. Wish there were some options in the app drawer tho. The horizontal app drawer isn't very awesome.
supercool... thanks....
It's a lot smoother and faster....nice find
it looks cool;i will try it too.
when you pinch all the icons float around too, pretty cool
is it faster slower or any more fuction ?
any info please ???

The option of hiding apps in the drawer is there too (but only for installed apps and not system apps).

Its pretty cool but useless lol. I bet SE spent more time on making stuff like this than delivering our GB update...typical
also discovered that when you shake the phone after you pinch zoomed your widgets and stuff they shake around too
Hey, just a quick question. What's the difference between the 2.3.4 launcher and the 2.3.3 launcher? As you mentioned, the power toggle and clock aren't SE widgets.
The pinch overview mode comes with the 2.3.3 update.
