Cheers Gnaver,

I've attached a seperate version that appears to work on both LDPI and MDPI screens. As you said it's really just the 854x480 version just with the FC fix and the file is renamed.

I've also added a "Fast Corners" version specifically for LDPI & MDPI users to improve the corner animation performance. HDPI users can also benefit from this.

Still working on a QHD version.
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
While I have got it working previoulsy but it really isn't worth the hassle to install to be honest. You have to copy a few libs to your system partition as well as a few apks. For some users you'd have to remove system apps to free up enough space :S

The result isn't as nice as the real thing. Twitter was broken, the background was black in the actual app and the widget would keep redrawing everytime you navigated between home screens....yuck!

If you're still interested have a look here, it's where I got the timescape files from:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11904220&postcount=3

Here's a complete list of arc files to help also : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089470

So tried the new fast corners mdpi version and its acting crazy. Can't go menu can't add anything and here's why - looks like this at first start.

Edit: I noticed a much better performance in the old version when you have the corners on every screen visible. I had two screens full of widgets and no corners and when listing through pages it lags and now I replace those widgets with smaller one and its smooth so IM loving it more :-D
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Sorry I attached the wrong file, fixed and tested via emulator now. Please redownload Home-Fast-Corners-2.0.A.0.22.LDPI&MDPI-signed.apk again.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Downloaded and I notice slightly better performance. But is it possible to make version without scrolling wallpaper? I think it'll make the performance on low end devices much more better... Sorry for wanting to much :-D
[Android Apps and Games] NITRO_100:
Cool, works great on Defy, but it's shame that can't resize original moto widgets.. Oh, and everything is working great, I installed StatusSwitch widget and Toggle widget as normal apk-s and they are working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] CAYCE_VII:
Can you add the newest launcher with the Facebook sharing feature please for xperia owners?
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
It's a little trickier since it has external dependencies (facebookproxylibs). Might not be possible unfortunately (for me anyway).
[Android Apps and Games] acax456:
really cool... tks... keep updating and fix some bug :) and how can i use theme???
[Android Apps and Games] dopod818:
I use sony x10 and I cant install it. I instal, system asked me " do u want replace .." I Yes ... and It can not installed. Please help me. I love this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
The reason is that the version you have on your X10 is signed by sony, the one I'm offering isn't so when it goes to replace it there is a certificate mismatch.

The only way I can think installing this is if you remove the old sony launcher you're running from your phone and then try to install this new one. JUST BE WARE! You should always backup system apps before removing them and always have a secondary home launcher installed i.e Go or ADW etc...

I can't accept any responsibility if render your phone unusable in this way so.
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Good question :)

The theme option is not functional I'm afraid.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
When IM playing with phone everything is OK, but when I lock it and leave for about ten minutes, them after unlock I have huge lags with this launcher. It takes around ten seconds to be normal... Do you know where's the problem? I have 140 mb free RAM and more than 100 mb free internal memory. This don't happen with go launcher and ics launcher, but unfortunately I don't like both of them...
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Is it lagging or redrawing? I know there is a trick adding a line in your /data/local.properties file you can use to get the launcher to stay in memory but if it's lag then I'm baffled.

In Terminal Emulator type: su

Then type: echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop

Also test the home launcher without fast-corners just to be sure it's not from anything I may have changed (I don't think it will be though).
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Im not able to root my phone...i tried everything what is here and nothing works...i tried few launcher and its come like this: go launcher - awesome, launcher pro - laggy after unlock, adw - laggy after unlock, zeam 3.0+ laggy, zeam 2.8.8 - awesome, nemus - lags, ics launcher - awesome, claystone - awesome...really dont know what to do..my phone is not bloated and im not able to do something what require root...

And i cant try the non fast corners version, because it has same bug like fast corners before you update it...the corners are very big so i cant do anything
[Android Apps and Games] dopod818:

the mdpi with corner version works, but it has bugs. it seems like the corners always expand all the time thus making them looks huge and weird.

other than that it works perfect.

Any way to install this on a LG Optimus One without FC
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Thanks, Gnaver also has the same issue, I'll try and sort it out.

I found that issue too, I had to clear the application data in Settings->Applications->Manager Applications->Sony Ericsson Home->Clear Data button.
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
The only way I can assist is if you can try installing it via ADB and give me the message when it fails.

There currently is no LDPI or MDPI version that doesn't have corners, I'm working on it however.

I will need the FC's Exception stacktrace to assist you. This is found on your phones logcat logs. You can find an app on the market to read them or connect a usb cable to your computer and install the android sdk.
[Android Apps and Games] ankjain:
look at this apk for ldpi

There currently is no LDPI or MDPI version that doesn't have corners, I'm working on it however.

dear

i have attached apk of arc launcer which is just right for ldpi devices and it is running quite smooth . the only downside which i can see is in menu there is no option to uninstall apps quickly ( which is present in your launcher ie all one has to do is to long press lower right context button and apps will have red cross over them)

can u modify it?

regards

ankjain
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Thank ankjain but I've hopefully already fixed it :) Thankyou anyway! See my latest attachments on the first post to try them out.

[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Oops, sorry ankjain I misread your comment. You're right I haven't included a non corners version for LDPI and MDPI....yet ;)

I'll make one very soon, thanks for your supplied apk too.
[Android Apps and Games] ankjain:
Request from other lenovo and spice users

thanks sir

attached is the discussions we are having elsewhere on this forum for lenovo A60 aka spice MI 350 aka viewsonic V350 .

i am putting forward this request on behalf of other members as your launcher is wonderfully compatible with our phone . kindly remove the corners and also put lower right context button for fast uninstalling.

thanks

ankjain:)
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
More info? Are you trying the HVGA version I attached? That would be best suited for your phone (3.2" 320x480 @ 160dpi)
[Android Apps and Games] mmeidl78:
I've tried to make my own version of the launcher with 800x480 and 5 Icons in the grid and the row (drawer not homescreen) and changed a little here and there (maybe I can get the continous slide to the left and the right in the homescreen) and only 3 Pages on 800x480.

When my new apk installs on the phone the message "app not installed" appears. I think its to complicated for me :-) (Tried ZipSign and few other tools out of the market to sign the apk and this also doesn't work).
[Android Apps and Games] lotherius:
Love it. It works great on my G2X both with ota base roms and on MIUI. Actually it feels like it was made for MIUI for those of us who prefer an app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
It's finished, download the "No Corners - OS 2.3+.zip"

I use SignApk. Follow this guide to make your own key for signing.

The signing command looks something like this :

java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 yourModded.apk yourSigned.apk

Just note that you will need to sign the Arc widgets too since they are particular if the launcher cert doesn't match their own.

Major Updates!

With and without Corners for :

QVGA

WQVGA400

WQVGA432

HVGA

Bad news is that No Corners only work on Android OS 2.3+ and there's nothing I can do about it sorry.

I'll add the change method shortly.

Enjoy! :)

ankjain
[Android Apps and Games] mmeidl78:
Thanks!

Tried everything - made my personal key etc. used signapk.jar to sign it back and after installing the file - still the same message :-( "App not installed". I even uninstalled the old launcher but that doesn't work, too.

Would you pls make a 3 Page Version of the 800x480 with corner? I don't need 5 pages. Endless scrolling throu the 3 pages isn't necessary (I don't find something to change in the xml-files for this feature :-( )
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Looks pretty cool actually. When you exit the apptray the stage glow effect briefly animates then disappears.

[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
If you install via adb you'll get a more meaningful message when it doesn't install. I had similar issues previoulsy.

I've updated the Corners - OS 2.2+.zip with WVGA854 & WVGA800 3xDesktops.
[Android Apps and Games] ankjain:
Awesome

Kudos !!!! marvellous !!!:D

that is precisely i was looking sir. the stage glow effect ( which was also present in my supplied apk) is just awesome. one has to download and use it to believe it. many many thanks .

great launcher has just become perfect by your sheer hard work and intelligence. a truly piece of creativity. hats off sir.

warm regards

ankjain:)

PS please update your first post so that many ppl like me can download it.
[Android Apps and Games] mmeidl78:
Thanks for the 3 Pages-File 800x480 :)

Normally I could use a apk and open it in winrar - edit one graphic-file and safe it again. But also this doesn't work :) Somethings wrong. But that's not your prob :)

How does it look, if you make the background in the appdrawer disappear? Homescreen and corners like in the orig. but only the square around the icons in the appdrawer disappear?

Hey ruvort, I figured out how to customize the app tray completely, I'll put up the method soon, in the meantime you'll find a QHD in the No Corners zip that has a 5x4 apptray. I had to make 2 smali changes to change the values, the integers.xml doesn't seem to work. I think your tablet version will be possible :)
[Android Apps and Games] chriszue:
thanks for the great work, may i know how to hv a 7x homescreen? coz 5 really not enough for me....
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Install it via adb and I'm pretty sure the reason is that you have default sony widgets or apps that share the original sony certificate. When you try to install my launcher signed by my own certificate the os refuses to install since they don't match. You're going to have to find out what apps or widget is possibly causing this and remove them.
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Yes I just figured it out then. What size do you want 7'd?

Geek talk

It's not enough to change the integers.xml but you have to replace smali .line 64 of the DesktopModelManager.smali file to this:

.line 64
const/16 v2, 0x7
iput v2, p0, Lcom/sonyericsson/home/layer/desktop/DesktopModelManager;->mNumberOfPanes:I

You just change the 0x7 to whatever number you want (in hex).

How To Change AppTray Rows & Columns

How To Change AppTray Rows & Columns

Here is a mini guide as to what I did from the original base copy, it should also help other budding developers quickly understand how to customize this home launcher for themselves.

ORIGINAL BASE COPY

Download the original base copy apk which already includes the FC fix and decompile it using apktool. You can then make the following changes and recompile for a visually functional launcher.

Download here : link

Making a 6x6 Grid

This example is to make a 6x6 apptray grid.

Apptray portrait number of rows: integers.xml

<integer name="apptay_grid_rows">[B][COLOR="Blue"]6[/COLOR][/B]</integer>

Apptray portrait number of cols: integers.xml

<integer name="apptray_grid_cols">[B][COLOR="blue"]6[/COLOR][/B]</integer>

The following is only needed for sizes greater than WVGA854.

Change number of apptray columns: AppTrayController.smali

replace

const v13, 0x7f090003

invoke-virtual {v12, v13}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getInteger(I)I

move-result v7

with

const/16 v7, [B][COLOR="blue"]0x6[/COLOR][/B]

Change number of apptray rows: AppTrayContorller.smali

replace

const v13, 0x7f090002

invoke-virtual {v12, v13}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getInteger(I)I

move-result v11

with

const/16 v11, [B][COLOR="blue"]0x6[/COLOR][/B]

[Edit] I forgot to put the last change I made (oops)

Change the max items allowed per page: util\PagedList.smali (isPageFull method)

replace

iget v1, p0, Lcom/sonyericsson/util/PagedList;->mMaxPageSize:I

with

const/16 v1, 0x14

(BTW: Actually I'm making a new video with the ubercool pinch2zoom Overview *g*)
[Android Apps and Games] Slither2006:
Great stuff I'll put the video on the first post when it's finished, your videos look very polished! I've only made a 5x4 grid for QHD resolution. I just put the 6x6 example up to show it's possible however you'd need a high resolution phone (galaxy nexus/prime maybe?).

That doesn't mean you can't try. I managed to get a 4x4 in the QVGA 32x240 screen size by reducing the icon sizes from 48 to 32. The same could probably be done in this case although I think it might not look very good lol.

On my other launchers (e. g. goLauncher) I'm using a 5x5 grid on the appdrawer and a 5 rows x 4 cols grid on the launcher. Maybe you can make this also for the 800x480 with corners? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S II and this huge Screen needs more Icons :)

I just stuck on making my own (transparent drawer and 5 row homescreen) cause of the "app not installed-message".

now to add bars on the desktop ?

I added this, but nothing changed EDIT: it's because apkmanager says to delete my modified files from KEEP folder, if I dont follow this method, the launcher got a FC, but I cant find my smali file in KEEP folder.

.line 64
const/16 v2, x07
