I install it mod 7 screen with cwm, install and widget fixet, but... :confused:

Will test again.

P.S. Install again,

1. install http://jpw.se/ICS/JWs_ICS_7screens_5x4apptray_CWM.zip with cwm than reboot, nothing happens

2. install fixes for widget, than reboot, nothing happens

Home screen and app trays is with 4x4 icons.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
Are you on ICS firmware? Your signature says 2.3.4 firmware!!

I have only testet on ICS firmware

Try with root explorer and the GB version
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] flippy12:
Ah, apptray depend of home too. Ok, thx for this.

I was sure that the pb was me, but didn't imagine that it was so simple :-)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Monipeev:
Yes, i am on ICS official, i not edit signature.

I don't understand why don't work for me?

I install another mod from 1 post, but same effect. :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] petrutms:
Works perfectly :D! I have a question: which file I need to keep from framework.res or home.apk, if in the future is a firmware update?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
Glad i could help. I will make this a normal release then.

I have edited both the framework and the home. That means that when we get a firmware update both probably needs to be fixed again.

Just keep an eye on my thread. I will make a new version on firmware updates :-)

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I have testet the version you downloaded and it works. Nothing wrong with my file. Maybee there is a problem with your CWM. Try installing with root explorer and report.

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Monipeev:
Ok. Just my info. When i instal any of mod for ICS with cwm, nothing happens.

When copy direct to system\app with right permision, it's all right - 7 screens and 5x4 icons in home screens. :rolleyes:

Ultimately, there are some variants to work this all and it is with little gymnastics. :D

P.S. Beat me to the post.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] petrutms:
I'll keep an eye on this topic in the future. And another suggestion (if you do not mind) to get it as close to ICS launcher:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I'am not sure i get it! What is it you want to get changed?

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] petrutms:
It's about that gray line that separates those screen icons. I could do that in GB but the ICS is different.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I dont understand. The XPERIA ARC ICS launcher do not have the gray line you show!

If you want to change the baground in the stage just edit home_stage_bg.png

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] petrutms:
Thanks, I'll try to see if I could ...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] james11110:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Devil_Spawn:
this doesnt work for me, i install it, and the space for the 5th row is there, but there is no way to fill it,

what should i do?

edit: found solution 2 pages back, thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I'am experimenting on a new version that has less problems with widgets. It may be finnished in a couple of days
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ashraf.hneini:
gr8 MOD, been waiting a while for something like that
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I have made a new version. Please test and let me know if you like it!

Flash the back to stock package, because this mod uses the stock widgets.

It should make less problems with other widgets.

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] flippy12:
The page indicator feel strange the 1st time we see them, but I like them :)

I don't know if it's real or just a feeling, but I suspect that there is more space with this indicator format.

When I see my calendar, it seems to be bigger than before :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
Any chance of 11 screens?

EDIT

Or a tutorial on how to modify an existing apk to one with 11 screens
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Devil_Spawn:
please do a 3 screen version of the new 5x4 app
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
Yes. A 11 screens version is possible. If you would like to do it then i will show you how. Otherwise i will do it.

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I'm going to make 3, 7 and 9 screens version of the new mod. Please be patient. It will come in a couple of days.

JW
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
I would love to know how. Can you pm me instructions please.

But if it is beyond me then I would humbly ask if you could do one as well....

What would be ideal is if we could add or remove screens to the home launcher as easily as you can in other launchers, I dont know why SE dont add that feature, it seems a basic feature of third party launchers and probably one of the first reasons why people ditch the stock launcher and go for a third party one.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] X-Droidinary:
Works well on Arconium ICS 2.2. Awesome work and keep it up.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Pandemic:
which download file?

i try it on neo v stock ICS ;)

Edit: Never mind, widgets is terrible when you on the homescreen and its to low, it cross the maps

i download the new one ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] petrutms:
Can u make it the new launcher mod (5 screen) with onscreenbuttons (or tell me what to change), please ;)? Below is the new launcher with the home button too high. Thank you!

are all the materials work on .432 fw?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Jose Hidalgo:
Hi everybody,

I'm really sorry but there are some things in the first post that I don't understand.

FYI I have a rooted GB Arc S with .42 firmware and CWM.

1. I'd like to get a 5x4 launcher, with no other visual differences from the SE launcher (just one more row, that's all). What would be the most appropriate package for me to install : 40%, 60%, or 100% transparency ? (or something else ?)

2. The "5x4 Fixed widgets package" is intended to help resize "some SE widgets". I guess a list of those widgets that don't resize correctly would be appropriate. Thank you.

3. Why an "Arc Dialer restore" ? Does this MOD affect the stock dialer (or another dialer such as GO Dialer EX) in some way, and why ?

I think the answers to these questions could make their way into the first post for everyone.

Thanks in advance for enlightening me. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Jose Hidalgo:
Hmm, maybe someone could help me with my previous post ? It's been 10 days now, so I think it's reasonable to bump this thread... Thanks in advance !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zolaisugly:
/\ /\ try this thread it seems more supported.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23019478
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Jose Hidalgo:
Thanks ! However, it's not exactly the same mod. It's very ICS-oriented, with only one GB version that doesn't look exactly like this mod. So I'd prefer to stick with this thread, if possible of course.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
Hello

sorry for not anserring you. I have been on holliday.

The 40% is the original transparency.

you are right about the fixed widgets package. Download and extract and you will see which widgets it is.

The back to stock dialer is for restoring if you flash the XPERIA S dialer ( works on ARC :-) )

Hope this helps
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Adiassidik:
Hello, I have a quite simple request Sir :

- It's Xperia S ICS based with 5 screen

- Has 4X5 app tray with 12px font size

- dot indicators placed at the BOTTOM side

- app drawer icon moved to the RIGHT side (not in the center of the dock)

will that be possible to make?? I will wait for your response :)

Really wish It's not really problem for you ^^

Are you sure?

I don't see it as 40% transparent..

Or is it just me??

Try to put a folder on the screen and you will see.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
EMRUL. You need to learn some manners. Be polite!

I have never said that this is the latest version of the home. I said it works on latest firmware and it does.

If you want the latest DO IT YOUR SELF. I can't get it working.

Sorry bro if my words hurt u. But i didn't mean that. May be my bad English made u think like that. Sorry again. :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] datagubben:
There is some transperency in your V2, but it is not the same 40% we are used to with other home.apk mods, they are also 40% but more transperent than yours.

(Den som du har gjort är lite genomskinlig, men jag tror folk önskar att den var lite mer genomskinlig, men inte helt onsynlig). :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chitose_ndy:
Here is some screen shot..

First is your home.apk and the second one is the 40% home.apk from another thread.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
I understand. you want 60% transparency. I will try to make it with the new launcher i am working on.

I think this will work on .58 firmware. Install alternative launcher from market and then dont set launcher standard. Then install HOME and reboot. When you unlock your phone after reboot it will ask which launcher to start. If Sony ericsson launcher FC then just hit home button and choose the other launcher. Then you can reinstall original.
