[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
That ROM is for the Wildfire

S

, so it won't work on ours.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
This is an iBooks style app drawer. I hope you guys will like it. There are multiple versions and file names are descriptive.

I have tested this only in 4.0.2.A.0.42 stock ROM. Comments/Suggestions are welcome.

Install Instructions:

========================

Make sure you backup your old /system/app/Home.apk. I am not responsible for any damages.

1. Download the zip file and extract it.

2. Rename the apk to Home.apk

3. Copy the Home.apk to phone memory /system/Home.apk

4. set permissions for /system/Home.apk as RW-R-R or 644

5. Move /system/Home.apk to /system/app/Home.apk

Changes that I made to Home.apk

===============================

Some of the changes have already been posted in other forums, Credit to those authors who posted it first.

Book shelf Image change

-----------------------

Modify res/drawable-hdpi/home_pane_bg.9.png

5 Rows

------

1. In res/values-hdpi/integers.xml change value of apptay_grid_rows to 5.

2. In /res/values/integers.xml, change value of apptay_grid_rows to 5. (I believe this has no effect, but I have not tested it)

3. In res/values-hdpi/dimens.xml, change apptray_cell_height to 85.0dip.

4. In res/values/dimens.xml, change apptray_padding_top to 33.0dip (Gap between top row and pane start)

After this MOD in case if you still see 4 row, then please goto Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Sony Ericsson Home->Clear Data and then reboot.

Icon Related Changes so that the Icon text fits the shelf partition

---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. In res/layout/icon.xml

For Text View

- Add androidaddingTop="5.0dip

- Change android:ellipsize="marquee" to android:ellipsize="end"

- Change android:textSize="13.0dip" to android:textSize="10.0dip"

Number of desktops

---------------------

1. In res/values/integer.xml

Modify 'number_of_desktop_panes'

2. In res\layout\desktop_pagination.xml

You will need this change only if your desktop has the pane, but indicator does not show it.

Modify android:layout_width. I think default is 150. Its ok till 7 panes, beyond that you will have to increase this size.

Releases

============

Latest : Version 1

- 5 or 9 Desktops

- Apptray 5 Rows and 4 columns in portrait and landscape mode

- iBooks style book shelf for App Tray

- Auto hide pane indicator for Portrait mode too

Downloads

==========

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Wow! Nice work. Can mod it to 7 desktop screen, 60% transparent dock background ? Thx.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mr6768:
looks nice , Good job .

might test it .

when we're done modding , how can we go back to normal version ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jacobwind:
Hello

I want to know what you changed to make the 5 rows in apptray

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
I gave it a shot, I set layer transparency to 60% for the dock image. Not sure if this is the 60% you are expecting. If the attachment does not meet your needs, then I will need home_stage_bg.png from your home.apk. I will use the same one and build a new apk for you.

Edit: This is actually 40% transparent \ 60% opacity.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Updated 1st post.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Thank you,

You will need to backup your existing apk before you install the MOD version. You can do it using adb or root explorer. Whenever you need to to go back to your original version, just follow the same install instructions for the backed up Home.apk.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Thx Bro. Let me test it. Come back to u soon. Thx a lot for effort.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Working. Dock seems perfect. But app drawer is 4 rows instead of 5 with transparency ( Could be 100% or 50% or what makes it good). Bro, thx again. :)

I always keep backup b4 doing anything. :)

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

Is that with 7 desktop ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
@Emrul, you are welcome.

For the rows problem:

You might want to goto Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Sony Ericsson Home->Clear Data and then reboot. I hope you would see 5 rows and the book shelf.

The 7 desktop mod is in post #5. The dock is 60% transparent though. If you want 100% transparent dock with 7 desktops and 5 row book shelf, I can make it for you.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Noted bro. Tested. Great work.

Will be glad if u make 9 desktop If possible) with 70% transparent dock & app drawer. U are just making my day bro. Thx a lot for everything.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Sure I think I can make it. Just a confirmation on Transparent app drawer, you want the book shelf to be transparent?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Great bro. Like to see transparency in the app drawer if it looks good. Im not sure whether it good or bad for visibility. What u say ? Dear,Which one u prefer most just do it for me with 9 desktop. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
I tried and the book shelf transparency did not look good :D. I did make 9 desktops with 50,60 and 70% transparent dock. I updated 1st post with the download links. Let me know if you need to increase or decrease transparency.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Wow! Beautifully done. Boss, u made my day. Using 70% transparent dock home. Thx. Thx. Thx.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hlcm151:
can you share for me the status bar with the cell is yellow ? i like it

please , thank you very much
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Bro, I hv a problem with Photos & Videos widget. When I add this widget stock home crush frequently. But when remove it everything becomes normal. I mean no crush, very stable. Can u do something with this widget ? :( tc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
It works fine for me, both the small and the large size. Can you do this once more

Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Sony Ericsson Home->Clear Data and then reboot.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Its still a work in progress, I am yet to change some of the other notification icons. I will post it once I am done. Hopefully soon. :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Boss, did it so many times. But same result. I also shortened my image folder size. But no improvement. :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
ok, I have attached the PhotoWidget that works for me, can you replace it with the one in your phone. Install it in the same way you installed Home.apk. After reboot if it still does not work, can you send me your original Home.apk that used to work for you.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
What i suppose to request, u just did it for me. Thx bro. Installed & same result. Actually it is not problem with ur modded home.apk file. I used to hv this issue from the beginning. Previously i thought itz happening coz I removed some system file which are useless for me. But restoring those files couldn't help me. Even after flash also. :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Oh! Sorry I could not help you on this. You might want to reflash the complete ROM using SE tool.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Boss, could u modify dock bar background of Landscape mode (Screen shoot attached). Should hv 70% transparency like Portrait mode. Currently im using 9 screen desktop/70% transparent dock home as u made for me. tc. thx.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Sure, I believe the pane indicator does not show for all 9 desktops. I see only 7. Can you confirm this? I might have to edit some xml files too for this.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Bro, 9 indicator show in the portrait mode, not in landscape. But 9 screen available in both mode. Thx.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Updated mod attached, hope it works :D

Edit - Removed attachment, as it had alignment issues.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Perfect. Im sure thx word not sufficient to express my gratitude. But then also I need to say thx. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
Really nice work.. thanks so much for share it
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Thank you, I fixed some issues and last time I accidentally posted 7 desktop instead of 9. Use this one for 9 desktop.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Thx. Bro, Auto hide indicator possible in the portrait mode? This option is enabled in the landscape mode. Also can enable screen transition circularly & change transition effect ? :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
I think transition effect may not be possible. I can certainly look at auto hide pane indicator in portrait mode and looping home screens.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Bro, see the screenshot. App drawer labels not in right place in the landscape mode. It is possible to bring in order like in portrait mode? Tc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hlcm151:
Hello saravana608 !

could you please share for me the cell icon with the color is yellow?

pls

thank you
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Thats Ugly man, a row is also missing. Let me try and fix this first.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
I have attached the icons. They belong to res\drawable-hdpi in /system/app/SystemUI.apk
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Could not fix 5 rows in landscape mode. I will have to switch back to 4 rows. Will post tomorrow a version with 9 desktop, 4 rows, 70% transparent dock, Book shelf for portrait and landscape mode .
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Itz ok bro. U tried, thatz enough. Bro, u can keep 5 rows by removing ibook background ?! This is just my opinion. Rest of all upto u. Tc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
First post updated with 4 Row app tray that works in portrait and landscape. I am now working to fix the 5 row landscape issue.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Thx bro. Like the ICS drawer logo & yellow line on dock. Fully matched with home.

One thing i just want to share. Think ibook shelf row height should be bit lower in the portrait mode. Might look more better if icons placed in the middle of each row. Now they set on lower side. Screenshot attached. Thx. tc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
Yeah right, once we have 5 rows in portrait and 4 in landscape it should be fine I guess. Hope I can fix it soon.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
First post updated with V1-xxx zips that supports 5 Rows in Landscape and Portrait mode, auto hide pane indicator enabled in portrait mode too. I hope you guys like it. :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
V1-xxx.zip should be addressing these issues along with auto hide pane indicator.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Thx. Trying. Think desktop loop not possible !? Come back to u soon. tc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Awesome bro. Screenshot attached for your review only. Can't add Landscape shot since hdmi or home dock not available with me. Will attach in the evening. tc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Boss, u did everything, everything. Just 2 mod still missing. 1. Auto Desktop orientation 2. Screen looping. I know both are not possible due to software limitation(May be). But these two thing would fulfill the standard launcher status. Anyway, Lots of thx for giving ur precious time.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saravana608:
I am still digging the smali stuff for looping, I hope will find it soon :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Best of luck bro. :)

Bro, Where are you ??? Not hearing from you last few days. Very busy.....!?

Help

@saravana608,

I was trying to mod Home.apk of xperia-s [gingerbread] to have 5 rows of apptray. So i went into values-hdpi folder > integers.xml > apptray_grid_rows and changed the value from 4 to 5. But when i loaded the mod, it has only the space left for 5th row and it didnt have any icons listed in it. Can you please guide me to fix the problem?

Thanks,

Muthu.

has somebody help for me?

i still testet hard reset, back to stock per ruu, but nothing .......

hope somebody have an idea, otherwise i must send it back......

sorry for my english, i am german
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
If you've flashed the RUU and done a hard reset and they still don't work I have a feeling it's a hardware defect.

Unfortunately, sounds like you're going to have to send it back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] midimaker:
I was just wondering what your attitude is toward upgrading to ICS. You see,I was with stock firmware for ages then branched out to try revolver and after the boost to my user experience its fair to say I'll not be going back to stock even if I have to wait a few months longer to get a version tweaked by our great dev community..... I'd also say that after trying to type on tablets, I'll not be getting one without a dock.... so here's the poll!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Stock + Root

Every other DEV ROM I have tried was broken or unstable in one way or another.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Korumera:
I'm on stock without root on the moment (can't root it with vipermod or with nachoroot for some reason) so i'll update it from asus and see if it gets rooted or not :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] steini81:
Never going stock again.

Revolver is the best rom you can get for the Transformer so i'll wait till fabio puts his hands on ICS.

Sent from my Revolver powered Asus Transformer TF101 with Tapatalk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I am running Revolver now, but will unroot and revert to stock when the ics update and is proven to be stable. While I like revolver I prefer to end up with ics and rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEagle:
Running Prime! As long there are Devs out there, there is a god! :D

Custom Rom's are the best... never going back to stock Rom again!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] midimaker:
Agree completely :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neidlinger:
I think Tablets and phones going the way of ICS is lubricious.

We as Android owners made fun of Apple when they released the iPod Touch because it was an iPhone w/o a cell radio.

We as Android owners made fun of apple when they released the iPad because it was a Supersized iPod touch. No difference just screen size.

Well now we have Android powered media players, Android phones and Android Tablets and if they push ICS to everything we really have no difference between us and Apple. Other than the manufacturer over laid UIs, such as MotoBlur, Sense, TouchWiz and so on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] C.Flat:
ICS on tablets actually uses a proper tablet oriented UI, it's not just a blown up phone UI like the ipad
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neidlinger:
:rolleyes:

They still need to focus on a tablet UI and a phone UI as two different identified lines.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
Having ICS rather than something like the GB/HC split is a good thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadymouse:
Well if you really think about it, you can argue that the new update is like ICS/Honeycomb split.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tyfighter:
Have you looked at an ICS phone compared to an ICS tablet? When you run ICS on a smaller screened device, it looks closer to gingerbrea. When you run it on a devicewith a larger screen, the layout is much closer to honeycomb. ICS was designed with different layouts for different screens.

And no, the GB/HC split isn't like the HC/ICS split. GB and HC were meant to be paralell to eachother, while ICS represents a convergance and successor to the two.
[HTC Wildfire S] Fruite:
My nephew has a Wildfire S and after got the 2.3.5 OTA update from TMobile he can not download or install anything. One of his friends have WFS, too with the same problem.

Downloading starts then stops without any message. Updating apps do the same. Download starts then stops.

Are there any fix for this I couldn't find yet or should I try to get help from HTC or Tmobile?

My wife has a WFS too, I have xtc-clipped it so I upgraded 2.3.5 manually. This one works without problem.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Try clearing the data in apllication settings for market and download manager and see if it helps

Best solution would be a manual install. You don't need XTC clip to install an official RUU for example. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Fruite:
You mean installing the official 2.3.5 by hand? But these phones got official updates over the air. What's the difference?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Try this;

Goto Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All

Scroll to "Download Manager" Select "Clear Data" then "Force stop"

Scroll to "Google Services Framework" Select "Clear Data" then "Force stop"

Scroll to "Market" select "Force stop"

Scroll to "Network Location" Select "Clear Data" then "Force stop"

Other than that you can do a factory reset or better root and install a custom ROM form one of the developers.

Uninstall that launcher.

It eats ram..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yomiguy:
you mean go launcher? or adw launcher? I have both now... at least go launcher does not force close as adw does sometimes, but if you mean its go launcher which eats my ram... I'll have to uninstall it... because I suppose it's useless to uninstall adw, because if I don't use it, it can't eat ram, can it? However, today I tried one adviced I used from Pedrocel's guide (i hope not to confuse the name) for optimal config, related to set "purge assets of active" (or somthing like that) and I can see more free ram now!! but not much more.

Thanks anyway for your answer rooterdam, just if you could tell me which launcher you meant... thank you!!:)

and in CMsetting->performance enable the jit, surfacedithering, 16bit transparency,purging of assets, 48 in VM heap size, 1024 sdcard cache, and disable compcache ram

with all of that I can have 70-80 free memory if I kill all app
