home++ on darchdroid

If you are using home++ post here about it, not in the darchdroid thread, lets try to keep that one more on topic
If you don't know what home++ is, it is one of the best home replacement's out there. Check here for more details http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/
This app works with live wallpapers on the 2.1 builds IF you disable workspace looping in the preferences (Home-> menu -> preferences) and you download the beta from the website, not the market place

Yeah I saw all those posts in Darchs thread and wanted to share but did not want to clog up what has been a very productive Dev thread.
I agree Home++ is the best home replacement for 1.6+ devices. I was happy with GDE while on 1.5, but Home++ is in another league. In the market search Home++ Beta.
Here are some screenshots:

Thats right. It is actually by Koxx, a Dev here on XDA. The widgets are great. Very customizable and lots of skins. Check out his post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545097

chadillac0000, What is that weather widget?

Its called weather forecast widget. It is also by Koxx, just search his name in the market and you will find all the widgets.
One of the things I really like about Home++ is the ability to use the home screen in landscape mode. Other home replacements I have used also had this feature but did not scale widgets properly. Home++ seems to do a good job with the widgets I have been using.

Digital Clock Widget
I really like the clear theme without the task bar, but miss the task bars functionality. I was able to make a clear task bar in 1.5, but the wallpaper was cropped too short (black task bar). Hopefully that is not a problem with 2.1/Home++ as I am going to try to make a clear task bar for my home screen.
Does anyone know if the task bar is gonna give me hell if I try to change the text white?

*NEW* Sony Ericsson Launcher 2.0.A.0.22

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:

Try it
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.

I am gonna try this...!!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

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 ???

It's quite a lot faster and smoother.
The option of hiding apps in the drawer is there too (but only for installed apps and not system apps).
A nice update.

Nice found man!!

The launcher is very smooth, thanksfor uploading!
Where are the power widget and the weather / clock widget from?

how do we install it? Whats the name of the file we should replace?

you just download the apk file and use a file manager to install the new launcher over the old one
// The floating effect when in overview is pretty cool :d Now i'm waiting for themes

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.

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!

what is the performance like

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.

Lock screen wallpaper

Hey, I wanna set the lock screen wallpaper to be as the desktop wallpaper.
I tried to set it by choosing a wallpaper in the lock screen wallpapers section under "themes" but I didn't found where the stock wallpapers path is.
I'm on liquid smooth kitkat 3.2 milestone.
Thanks.

I don't think I got you right... If you wanna set a wallpaper you don't need to apply it via theme engine, you can choose any pic you have on your phone regardless of it's location. You just have to select it from "documents" or "gallery".

In Themes - Wallpapers I get only the wallpapers from the installed themes (I am on Android 5.1 tho). If you're looking for a wallpaper that comes with a theme, being it for desktop or screensaver, that pic is embedded in the theme apk. That's a zip file so you can open it with WinZip or similar program and look inside it for the pics you like. You can extract them from there, save them on your sdcard then set them as your desktop wallpaper if that's what you want
