changed over to CM ROM.. still confused

Hi,
i switched from the DESIRE Rom`s to CM and i`m pretty happy so far, but i still want some things i miss:
1. an app drawer that moves quicker.. i mean this one is nice and 3D but so slow to scroll!. I looked for spare parts but it seams there is no standalone app for the N1
2. Other than the iphone style lock screen and the pattern one, can we get something else? Maybe the Desire Lock Screen?
3. Is there a way to install the Desire Mail app and Clock (the one with weather and all)
thanks!

1. look up helixlauncher, one of them on the market is a drawer.
2. check out lock 2.0
3. I'm not sure about these.

The answer to #3 is no.

1. HelixLauncher, market or on this forum. Just a simple push or install of an APK.
2. Lock 2.0 or Lockbot, both on market. Search for "Lockscreen"
3. I'm not too sure what you mean but which mail app are you talking about? Check out Pure Messenger Widget and for the clock, check out "Beautiful Widgets" or "Weather and Toggle Widget" or something like that. (I actually forgot the name of this one)

Well i`m using helixlauncher2 and the app drawer is slugish.
As for lock 2.0 it's iphone style
I would have liked to have the Mail app from the desire ROM, because it was really good. but installing the apk does not work
Well thanks for the answers

Helix Launcher 2 IS quite slow, a newer version in on the way thats better but if you use Helix Launcher (NOT 2) it is the older drawer style and much faster.
LockBot allows you to use several lock screen styles including the Desire/Hero style one
Weather Widget Donate and Beautiful widgets both provide a similar clock to the desire one and support skins so you can customise them.

Or use HelixLauncher2 0.7b1 - just as fast as stock.

My ADW Modded Theme APK. Sleek transparent black look.

Heres the apk for my modded ADW Theme [you already need ADW to install this as a theme this is not an edited version of adw]
Black transparent level home bar
Black transparent google search
Changed home button to up arrow [down arrow in drawer]
New delete icon/uninstall home icon on bar when holding on shortcuts
New icons
Will probably mess with it more
READ: This was originally a theme called sticker album and will show in market and ADW as 'Sticker Album' DO NOT install updates for sticker album that market finds or it will go back to the sticker album theme which is totally diffrent.
Also some icons [specifically Timescape & Mediascape] I could not get to change in ADW so have also attached them in a rar file below if you want to make shortcuts on your home with them to match the other icon using any apps like Better Cut or Desktop Visualizer... Hope you like check screen shots below

Thanks, just going to give it a whirl.

Quite nice, good work. Having a problem when I restart ADW though, so it's not removing the background of the launcher icon, which as you know is all I'm after so isn't an issue for me.
Thanks!

Very nice, looks great

I love that wallpaper, know where I can get it or can you share?
Also how did you get Andy on the board for the lock screen?
-Eric

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!
I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.
For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.
The widgets used are as follows:
Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better
Super Clock Skin: honeyclock
Weather Skin: FlatWhite

What are you using for screen cap?

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.
Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

what launcher are you using?

I downloaded an app called ScreenshotUX, something like that. There used to be a bunch of screenshot apps in the market, what happened? Are they getting the boot from Google or something?

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

noticed you have the same weather widget bug, also happens to the pandora widget. something causes it to stretch like that, returns to normal after reset. you know what causes it and if there's a fix?

This is my homescreen as of now.
I really liked the wood bookshelf style of the kindle, so I decided to make wallpapers that would give that same look to other launchers (I'm using ADW).
I also attached a zipped folder with them, hope you guys enjoy.
Comments are always appreciated

Here you go.

mclock, fancy widgets, and stock wallpapers

Probably a stupid question but you guys that are using different launchers (which in this thread is everyone it seems lol) are you rooted or not? I'm going to side-install a few launchers and had no plans on rooting at this point BUT if it helps the alternate launchers work better I mine as well. Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).

[App] Xperia Launcher Lightly Blue Themed

Here is a lightly blue themed Xperia launcher for those, like me, that want another option when it comes to launchers! Simply install as you would any other zip through CWM. Obviously make a back-up before installing just in case something goes haywire. Hit the thanks button if you like or use please!

To me its just as fast, if not faster than the stock launcher but I hate the app menu launcher on the side and this one is in the middle. Plus it has a lot of features that the stock launcher and many others do not have.

Just updated with a cooler Andy style launcher and sweeter delete animation, take a look!

I like the looks of the main icons at the bottom (messaging, phone, etc) Is that the way it comes or did you change them?
Also, I know that you can also download the Xperia wallpapers and widgets. Are these included in here?

Digging the changes on this. Only thing missing is vertical scrolling in the app drawer.

The icons at the bottom are mine in my theme,,,if you would like pm me and I can send it to you as long as your on clean rom 5.5.1. The widgets and wallpapers should be included but if not I can post them here.

Thanks. Almost all the widgets on yours are what is included in another xperia launcher on here. The main one that is missing is the weather app. I love that one, but you do not have it.
I am not on CleanRom...
I like the horizontal (left to right) scrolling like they have in the regular xperia launcher. Just my 2 cents.
The only other thing I wish any of the xperia launchers had was the ability to continue scroll through the app drawer....

I am locating a weather widget you might be able to use will post on here
Edit: Try this weather widget,,,its not mine and I have some problems with the alarm, but I have never used a widget for that,,let me know.
Here is another one not mine I just themed it a little, it is labelled home and the weather widget below it works perfectly, only thing is you lose some customization but i can live with out it.

Xperia Tablet Z - Post your Home Screen with Relevant Details

As the thread says, share your homescreen with everyone. Also, include instructions as to how you achieved it, i.e.
- which launcher
- share the wallpaper
- share the widgets you're using
I will share mine next week as soon as I get the tablet.
Use SCREEN MAKER App to make it look like the screenshot is actually a picture of your device itself.

I'd love to see a screenshot of Nova Launcher running on the Xperia Z.

Nova Launcher
Now Clock (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84224888/now1.apk)
Mianogen Icons and Holo Icons (A couple of icons are actually folders)

Nova Launcher Prime. Hopefully there will be a way to flash CM or any other AOSP based rom on the Wifi version as I can't stand the Honeycomb like nav buttons and all the Sony bloatware. Tried to replace most of the Sony apps with proper stock Android apps, and thankfully Nova Launcher let's me hide all the things I don't need.
Chose this tablet because of the unavailability of the Nexus 10 over here, the weight of the tablet, and the (wrong) assumption this tablet would be easy to turn into a "pseudo-Nexus" because of Sony's involvement in AOSP.
So hopefully some clever devs will find a way soon.
edit: oh sorry, the widgets:
Press, Google+ and Feedly

That's probably because Dashclock needs Android 4.2.2, and the stock Sony firmware is on 4.1 I believe

Thanks, for this relevant answer, will wait until Sony update its rom to 4.2.2,

Stock Sony XPERIA Launcher (I haven't tried the DoCoMo launcher), panels 1 to 5.
Panel 1 is at the extreme end for stuff I don't pay attention to so much, i.e. Socialife.
Panel 2 is a blank panel, so that I can just enjoy the wallpaper, or, well, when I want a blank panel.
Panel 3, central home panel, has the information I generally look for, plus the most commonly accessed shortcuts/a music player widget.
Panel 4, extended weather info only, with time.
Panel 5, full-size music player.
This sort of layout has been sort of traditional for me, and I use some variation of it on all my Android devices.
I use a combination of Minimalistic Text, Sony's stock widgets and Poweramp, while weather is provided by 1Weather's widget.
I'm not too fancy or anything though I suppose I ought to spend time properly doing something unusual and nice, given the XPERIA is hardly a usual tablet.
Wallpaper is via the Music Visualizer app, with a self-edited image for an idle wallpaper. It'll change to visualizer bars when sound plays above a certain volume threshold (i.e. the sound of system clicks doesn't trigger it).
I have PowerToggles on the system bar and Realtime Task Manager on the Small Apps shortcut. I'm honestly a fan of the single-system bar layout. I absolutely abhor the idea of having two on-screen bars consuming screen space.
I might replace the Socialife widgets with Flipboard's or something, because they constantly blank themselves needing a refresh, and sometimes it just seems that they're sluggish.
I love magancete's look, it's very unique!

Just get it today & current look for my Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
