[Q] Porting Arc FW to x10 mini and pro?

---

can this be done? i like the SE home screen... with the short cuts in the corners...
BTW
some one sucessfully ported arc to x10...

Here you go, this Arc launcher is beautiful, better than X10 Mini in my opinion. This is the only model I've tried the launcher on, E10i. You only need to install the HOME APK I discovered......

Question: These apk files which one should replace in system/app? Coz 4sure in my system/app folder there is no home.apk. Owning a X10 mini

i suppose you just put them in your /system/app. don't worry if you don't have home.apk, at least you will still have your default launcher ready just in case this wont work for you.

p.s. don't forget to set proper permission first, before moving the app to /system/app

hello all...
I did install the home apk and photo widget apk...but the photo widget is usable only wid home app. It cannot b used wi dany oder launcher.
So while going thru photo widget apk, I came across this...
It contains ann android manifest xml file.
This xml file has a line dat says,
SharedUserId : com.sonyericsson.home

I was wondering if this line cld be removed or if com.sonyericsson.home cld be replaced wid smthn like org.adwfreak.launcher for adw users
and if the APK cld be recmpiled?

Is dis possible?
Wld dis make it avlbl for oder launchers as well
and if yes then how cn it b done if sm1 cld explain?

Thanks, this launcher works fine on X10 Mini Pro.

How I installed it:

Simply install the 3 files (no need to move them around, just install like a normal apk). The 2 widgets are optional.

Reboot the phone, select 'Home' when prompted. 'Home screen' is the old launcher.

Advantages over the old launcher:

• multiple widgets per screen
• shortcuts, folders
• multiple app sorting options

Disadvantages:

• no 4 corner shortcuts
• sliding out the keyboard causes a reload
• icon labels in the last row are cut out
• a little bit slower

Why don't you give it a try.
Use APKTool to extract XMLs from app, edit the XMLs and rebuild the app.

Reply if it worked.
