hi guys, today i got my sony ericsson xperia x10 mini, and i know a lot of you are wondering how the phone performs with different applications such as facebook, spotify, games. oh, and i also installed helix launcher!!!!
go check out my video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TohbkqZvvH0
what do you think?
I'll tell you what I think. I think you should have used the money you spent on the phone to buy a new pair of pants. And, you should stop bitting you nails.
I'm only kidding looks cool. That is accept for the low battery.
How is the battery life mate? I think the pants are cool.
lol at the pants.. a lil much perhaps?
I like my x10 better.. the mini just looks like its meant for a woman..
but not a bad video.. i have the x10 with helix as well.. looks the same only bigger..

and slower...
Mini has some nice speed. Thanks for the vid and making me sad again
I bought the mini for my girlfriend and after playing around with it for a while, i have to say im pretty impressed with what that mini thing can do. It packs a hell of a punch for such a small device!
wow that thing is fast. way faster than x10. i say good buy.
Its faster because its has a way smaller screen resolution. If x10 would have a resolution like that, it wouldnt lose in terms of speed, actually i think it would be even faster..
Yes its because of the screen resolution

Thanks.

I have bought the x10 mini for my girl friend. She did not like the default launcher (used to my nexus one) but after installing ADW Launcher and ChompSMS she is VERY happy. It is really a powerful phone in a small package. It needs Android 2.1 though. Can't wait for that to happen.
It's not a womans phone - it's a phone for people who have no need to compensate for anything.

With ADW Launcher my Battery survived only one day. Now, with helix its two or three days.
I was wondering how does helix help to reduce the battery usage?

anybody please tell me how to get iphone like screen rotation transition effects in xperia x10?
i want smooth rotation in xperia x10 like iphone does
Try ADW Launcher EX (paid), LauncherPro Plus (paid) or Go Launcher EX (free). They all have smooth transitions between the screens, very fluid. You can customize the speed and type of transition animation as well.
Don't use Live Wallpapers,sometimes they may cause some lag.
If you're still not satisfied, wait until custom kernels are out and you can try these transitions without any FPS limitation
get an Iphone four...you need an iphone four..!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAVEl_RU8o
Once the new custom kernels are released with the FPS cap removed, screen transitions and other animations will be as smooth or even smoother than the iPhone's. I suggest waiting, jerpelea is working hard his own, as well as zdzihu.
Guys please read.
He is talking about the iPhone/iPod screen ROTATING effect with the accelerometer. (Landscape/vertical) He wants that (I also want that if possible in the future)

I think I also saw that on some Android devices. Does anyone know which devices feature these transitions? We could try to port them... or, more specifically, ask the devs to do the work

Sent from my rooted X10i using CM7 v011
Not that its much help now, but android 1.5 devices where capable of doing this with the help of the spare parts app. This feature has since been removed though. I would speculate that the version of android for smart phones that comes after gingerbread might have it natively being as it occurs in honeycomb running tablets as far as I'm aware.

Yeah probably the best way is to use a 3rd party launcher and if it doesn't support it (like ADW EX which I use) ask the dev to impliment it.

Again, he's not talking about transitions between the different homescreens, he talks about the transition from portrait to landscape mode (if you TURN your phone to one side).
And neither ADW Ex nor LPP animate this.

So don't talk about launcher such as LauncherPro(plus) or ADW and stuff, because they only can do screen transitions. (Swithing from app/screen)
I have never owned apples crap...so i do not know the trasition you speak of....sorry.

So he's referring to the whirl effect that iPhone does when you turn it sideways vs just a quick change of direction that the android does? That I haven't seen... yet anyway.

Hi mike, can you share your expeience on ADW or Launcherpro?
Does the font on ADW bigger than sense? Smoother? Any screenshot to share?
Did you use clock from Fancy widget? Thanks.
I can't talk about adw, but I am using launcher pro on mine. So far I'm really loving it. It's just as fast and responsive as sense if not more so. It makes better use of the screen with smaller icons, and more compact layout in the app drawer. On top of that, the pen still works in the few places that it worked before (albeit there are only few places that it does work -_-)
There is little difference between adw and launcher pro on my book so I'd expect them to perform similarly on the flyer as well, bit if nobody has tried by tomorrow I'll install it and give it a try.

I tried the LP on my HD2_SD_Android with sense build, there is no performance different on LP with CM build. But those apps that from sense (eg SMS) with small font will still be in small font. I was hoping it will change the font size when in LP but it actaully doesn't.
ADW EX is available from the market... Need to pay, but worth it for the desktop real estate.

This is my concern as well and have cause me to think twice on buying this Flyer.
Can you help confirm/share whether is there any effect/change after using the Spare part and change the LCD density? I am hoping and looking forward the customer ROM to replace Sense with CM7.

Sorry mate
Neither I use Spare part nor change the LCD density because I havent rooted my Flyer
(I understand that the LCD density can be changed via build.prop, but you will need Root Explorer, and to use Root Explorer, you need to root it, unless there is other way to do that)

Thanks for the advise, I will continue to hold my purchase decision until it get rooted. If not, I may switch to Samsung 8.9" when launch, or even Huawei Mediapad (the spec is very attractive. 7", 1.2GHz DC...) or may be SGT 7" (I played it at one of the shop yesterday and kind of like it though the speed doesn't seem to meeting 1GHz expectation but good enough and I read that this is 2nd genration of 7" SGT)
Are launchers good or bad? Because I want to use one so i can REALLY customize my sgs2, but I want to know some things first.
Do they drain a lot of battery?
Do they slow down the Sgs2 at all?
Have you had any bad experiences with them? (I don't mean weather you disliked them or not, I mean crashes, problems, etc.)
Thanks so much!
No...some launchers drain battery a lot especially 3d launchers...
Try go launcher ex
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using XDA App
I have no interest in any other launcher besides Go. Using it for a month now, fantastic customisation options, and it DOESN'T drain any battery, I can bet it. Other than Go, Nemus Launcher is also there, but still needs a lot of improvement.
Oh, it will not slow down your device at all.
No they are good they don tdrain battery

There are more themes in Google Play than in the built-in theme selector. Maybe that's what (s)he's seeing.
This launcher is cool, but it feels rushed in a few ways. For example, why can't I configure:
Where the MX (Cover screen?) button goes
Where the app drawer icon goes, or its icon (and why isn't it themed?)
The number of docks. I just want the one.
The task killer. I can already open it by long-pressing app drawer. Yet I can't move the dedicated task killer launcher (from dock 2).
The names and colors of the folders in the app drawer. No "Games"? And what is Lifestyle anyway?
The icons on the clock. Yes, I know I can change them, but to select Music, I have to have it launch the stock Blur music app? No thanks, I like the MIUI one, TYVM. Likewise with Contacts, I can't make it open Contapps. Gallery won't open QuickPic. You see where this is going.
The home screen indicator. I'm fine with it being there when I'm changing screens, but all the time? Not feeling it.
Other than that, it is a nice launcher. When placing icons, you get the grid from GO Launcher EX. Also from GO is the home screen configuration (press Home, this lets you add or remove home screens, or move them around). From GO and ADW it has a popup when long-pressing icons; other than being more visually impressive, it adds an Info option which takes you to its page in Settings/Applications (this is good if you want to force close the app, or maybe clear its cache, or remove its defaults).
The settings are also really bare and spread out amongst some confusing labels.
This app has a couple neat ideas. The app drawer and cover screen are nice touches, but the customization is very shallow. It feels like a beta, a work in progress. I'll keep it around because this thing is just dripping with potential.
Hi guys this is my first post here.
I just wana ask if you tried this launcher "360 launcher" and use the ICS theme,
and ICS live wall paper its pretty cool with hybrid rom v2.1 very fast
77mb used ram (with apps running) and 167mb free.
Hope some devs make this as their primary launcher in thre roms
sorry i cant provide any links its my first post xD
Searched and downloaded just now. It's all in Chinese damn it. XD
I can't tell which one is the launcher. So many themes and all of them in Chinese. @[email protected]
Okay, found the launcher. You're right, this is quite beautiful. I'm gonna check everything first.
Man, I love you and hate you at the same time. I am a launcher-phile and compulsively change launchers all the time. I thought I've finally settled and then you go showing me a new one. XD
