Hi everyone.
I been try almost all the arc launcher that i can find on XDA forum but can't seems to find one that has 5 rows of icons instead of 4.
Will a dev please make a arc launcher with the following specs?
5 - 7 home pages
5 Rows of icons on home pages
5 column of icons on app draw
transparent app draw - the white one instead of stock dark one.
or if someone can help me point to a tutorial that I can follow and to modify the arc launcher my self.
Thanks allot.

I managed to change the home screen to 5 panels but I can't get the home screen rows right.
I can place 5 rows of widgets on the home screen but instead of all 5 of them staying at the top of the launcher dock 1 of them is half under the dock.
all I did was this: ones in red
in C:\Users\ShuFen Li\Desktop\New folder\projects\ArcHome.apk\res\values\integers
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
<integer name="apptay_grid_rows">4</integer>
<integer name="apptray_grid_cols">5</integer>
<integer name="desktop_grid_rows">5</integer>
What doe the ones below means?
<integer name="desktop_grid_cols">4</integer>
<integer name="stage_grid_cols">4</integer>
<integer name="min_pane_switch_duration">1000</integer>
<integer name="pane_margin">15</integer>
<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer>
What these below? do they define the speed that the launcher open and close the app draw?
<integer name="scale_up_transition_scale_duration">300</integer>
<integer name="scale_up_transition_translate_duration">240</integer>
<integer name="scale_up_transition_alpha_duration">240</integer>
</resources>
Do i need to change the resolution?
How can I solve this?
Thanks
Yeah that extra row would do alot.
I didnt manage to get all my widgets on my phone as before. Id rather have one panel full of widgets.
Sent from my Arcified X10 CM 6.1.3
will a dev please help withe the arc home screen launcher please?
I managed to change the resolution of the screen but not the placement of the widgets, half of the fifth widgets still gets stuck behind launcher bar on the bottom of the screen
thanks
Thanks!
I want this..
Modding Xperia Arc Launcher
Hello friends., anyone here can post Arc launcher with 5 x 5 desktop screen.. i tried editing the xml files, but i cant install on my Xperia x10 with Wolfbreak rom.. it says " App not installed " i think modders here can help me out in this.. Thanks in advance
Hi, I am making some application with transparent background (image with alpha channel). All is ok but I would like to have active desktop under activity.
Transparent code xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
</style>
</resources>
How to do that? I want to make full screen image with active desktop and don't know how. If it's bad forum, please delete and do not ban me, this is my first post here.
When I was thinking on what device I should buy, I vacillated between the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active and the Defy+. I liked the UI of the Active, but I decided to buy the Defy. However I determined myself I'll use the Active's Launcher, no matter what.
I know there's a lot of Xperia Arc Launcher out there (same as the Active's), but all is the same version (2.0.A.0.22) and all was modified somehow what I don't need. So, I decided to port the newest Launcher without any major modifications. I grabbed the latest firmware of the Xperia Arc (4.0.2.A.0.62), and torn it to pieces. Disassembled the Launcher and modified it to work on any WVGA (480x854) resolution Android devices. And when I was in there, in the firmware, I extracted some of the widgets too.
The Launcher (Ver: 2.1.A.0.10):
The Launcher is not modified. I only changed some settings to make the corners appears on this resolution and corrected the alignings. So, it has 4x4 appdrawer and 5 pages, like the original. You can modify these settings if you unpack the apk and change some values in some xml files. I'll make a Howto to it soon.
This is only tested on WVGA (480x854) device. If you want to try it out or it's not working on your resolution, I'll glad to help.
There's two way to install it:
With simple installation, by running the apk. After that, you need to copy the 2 other files to \system, otherwise the "Share" option will not work and you'll face with FCs. You'll need root to do that and you need to reboot after copied the files!!!
With the Update.zip from the bootloader.
Widgets:
2 kind of Digital Clock widgets
Media widget
2 kind of Switch widgets
Calendar widget
Favourites and Call Log widget
World Clock widget
Downloads:
Launcher - installer
Launcher - Update.zip - Updated (17.04.2012)
Widgets
Theres' some widgets I could not make to work:
Photos and Videos widget
Music widget
Weather widget
The Theme Selector of the Launcher
I made The Photos and Videos widget installable, but it's not usable, because it has some problems with the Advanced Widget Framework of the Launcher. Someone needs to check it. It's inside the apk of the Launcher (\smali\com\sonyericsson\advancedwidget\framework\).
The Music and the Weather widgets are not installable. I could not figure out the problem. I could not start the Theme Selector of the Launcher either. The needed files are in the compressed file too. If someone has a little bit of free time and the necessary knowledge, it's possible to make it work.

What you can modify:
The resolution (not the exact one, but alignments and sizes)
Rows and cols of the appdrawer
Rows and cols number of the desktop/home
Open and closed radius of the corners
The align of the icons in the corners
First, dump the SE_Arc_Home.apk with APKTool. Then the following files may contains useful things to you.

Now I'll show you how you can modify the corners. These lines can be found in smali\com\sonyericsson\cornerbutton\CornerButton.smali file.
The closed radius of the corners
.line 215
new-instance v2, Lcom/sonyericsson/cornerbutton/CornerButtonArc;
const/16 v3, 0x60
The expanded radius of the corners.
The important part is with red. If you reach "ff" at the first column, you can use the second. So, you can set the second column from 0 to 1, and you can start over with the first one from 0. (I hope it's understandable. )

If you've done with the settings, repack the apk with APKTool, then sign it with SignAPk. After that, try it out.

The Timescape is one of the Advanced Widgets too, so first, we need to correct out the AdvWidget Framework in the Launcher.

That calendar widget looks great. Is there any way to get it to work on another launcher? When I install it on FTL Launcher Pro I can add it to my screen but it shows no appointments.

I think it's somehow linked to the Launcher, like the GO Widgets to the Go Launcher.
I have tried the method, compiled successfully.
But after installing/comping to system with correct permission and than restart, laucher not found
What to do now

Hello,
I'm on stock 2.3.6 rooted. I started manually editing/modifying my galaxy fit. Now I want to edit the dockbar of stock 2.3.6. I really hate that semi-transparency of the dockbar of the main screen. So far I managed to edit the dockbar of the app drawer, but can't find the .png of the MAIN SCREEN DOCKBAR BACKGROUND. Also, I can't figure out(if i find it) how to make it 100% transparent.
Can someone help me out with this??Which .png(from Touchwiz30Launcher.apk/res/drawable-Idpi) is it?
Edit: Ok,so I found it, but i can't make it full transparent.If i edit the .png, I can only give it a full color
If i try to edit the coresponding XML file, I don't know what to put in there.

just replace @color/menu_background_transparent with @color/transparent
if you don't have a transparent color in your app go to /res/values/colors.xml and add this line:
<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

Thanks a lot. I already made it transparent. I just went on a online photoeditor site and edited the image KEEPING its transparency, made full transparent and voilla!
The thing is that the windows editor wouldn't keep transparency of the png's(or I don't know how to do it).

Oh you meant label
No in poco launcher there's no way to hide labels
Only way is to change to a custom launcher like nova launcher which I generally use since it gives tons of customisations
I created an overlay apk that sets to transparent the icons' label on the homescreen, following this https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials...runtime-resource-overlay-framework--cms-29708
In pratice it replaces the following lines in /res/values/styles.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="WorkspaceIconTitle">
<item name="android:textSize">1sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#00000000</item>

You must place the attached .apk in /system/vendor/overlay that is read-only if you are not root.
Reboot and it should do its job.
Tested and working on a Xiaomi Mi 9 running Poco Launcher v. 2.7.4.38 on Android 10
I rewrote the apk because number in badges were not showing
Now it only overlays the text size property with 1 dp size, that is so small you should not even see the label (if you watch closely and have a contrasting background you could see a small line)
