Xperia Launcher - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

Hey, I wanted to know if it was possible, when we open the app drawer, to always find the first page of the drawer, not the last page where you were the last time you closed the app drawer...
Sorry if I've not been really clear, I'm french...

Hmm, mine always show the first page of the drawer, I have my apps sorted by Name though.
Can you try go to Settings->Sort Apps->By Name?

Well even when I sort my apps by name, it's still the Last page... What's the version of your firmware ? 277 or 292 ?
And the version of your launcher ?

Mine phone is 292. My Xperia Home version is 10.0.B.0.51.
So just to confirm, I press the launcher icon to open the launcher, swipe right a few times. Then press home button to go back to the home screen. If I press the launcher icon again, it opens to my first page.

yeah launcher pro is working gr8
It's the first app I install when update to 2.1. Never though of the other launcher again. Especially like the friends widget showing you feeds from facebook and twitter and the ability to reply or comment from your homescreen unlike the crappy timescape which is slow to update and use browsers to do any action.

Holy mother of battery power Changed my phone setup to use Launcher Pro instead of ADW launcher. Having all other settings such as number of home screen, widget placement and refresh time on widgets the same. I have gone from recharging every 3-4 hours to the phone lasting a whopping full day Seems like ADW was clashing big time with something on the phone.
I like the speed and response time. It is much faster than ADW, and there is the promise of more speed once the complete rewrite of Launcher Pro comes Very happy LP Plus user here
I am using this launcher (very good app) but i have a problem. At Android system info in section Tasks I have task "android.process.acore(package: com.fede.launcher)" which is running with 100% CPU.
Do you have something similar?
(my english is not good)
Got the paid version today like the htc sense hope to see clock and weather widgets aswell but awesome launcher turns the x10 mini into a beast.

Noob question regarding the "menu button" on the screen

Hello All
I have a question regarding how to install other shortcuts on the same horizontal spot as the menu shortcut which leads too all the applications when pressed. ( the middle bottom one on the same horizontal spot with all the dots) Thanks!

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

[Q] Question about Launchers

Has anyone had a problem after you download a new launcher and it installs it will give you the option to start it or use the stock. But if you do not start it and hit the home button it will Disappear and not give it as an option by hitting the home button after that. Its on my app list but i have no way to restart it.
Any Ideas? Never had this problem on my HTC inspire..

Never had that problem, but do switch between launchers all the time by using Home Switcher. Free in Android Market
Try resetting the defaults for all the launcher apps. (Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher, etc). This way, the next time you hit home, it will ask you again what launcher you want to use.

When I press the Home button, it takes me to page 3, and not the home page(page 1)

Hi guys,
I just upgraded to the latest Checkrom v4 (from the last version of Checkrom), and now, if I scroll to page 2, and hit the home button, it will take me to page 3, and not page 1 (home page). Do you guys know why?
Input is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Hi mate,
that's correct.
I'm not on Checkrom, but I'm sure that he also has the modded TW launcher.
This one has some feautre more than standard samsungs TW launcher.
It's standard set to default homescreeen 3 (from 4)
Just press menu and then preference (not settings) to get in settings from launcher.
There u can f.ex. change the default homescreen (in "Homscreens") and order off apps in drawer (in "App-drawer") and so.
Just have a look on it.
Hope I helped.

Hello Hannibal,
Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it. It makes a lot of sense, however, I am unable to find the "preferences" you are referring to when i press menu. I only see Add, Wallpaper, Search, Notifications, Edit, Settings.
Am I missing something?
I am also using Widgetlocker.
Thank you!
If you press edit, do you see yellow ball with white pin inside? It marks says 'default screen' . But im on cm7 rom/adwlauncher tho.
Flashing your galaxy, press Y to continue..
Ok I'm sorry, like the preview post says, u have to hit "edit" then OR "menu".
I don't know which launcher he included in Checkrom.
Maybe u can choose default homscreen via the preview of all screens ("edit" or just pinch to zoom out)
Or, like me, u have to press "menu". (That would bring u to the settings menu I meant in my first post )
Sorry, my fold
CHEERS
Ok. When on any screen pinch (or menu/edit) to display all screens. Long press page 3 (home) and move it to page 1.
EDIT: Works on tw4.5 but not tw4. In tw4.5 the home screen shows a little house/home on the home screen which you can move anywhere.

Right, but when u don't have it, like TW4, u have to change default via the TW settings (press menu>menu>homscreens)
That what I'm talking about last post.

Thank you guys for your help! I appreciate it.

LG Dual Screen Launcher

I have an idea
You can try installing some launchers (like Niagara for example)
And then set it to launch the app launcher automatically when opening the dual screen. Hope it works for you
Just gave it a shot. It does work as far as the launcher opening on the left screen, but pressing home on the left side takes you back to launcher 2.
This means you'd have to turn off the screen and turn it back on or close and open the case and reunlock the phone to get it to open.
Great idea though, I thought it would force it open on the main screen, but nope!

Some launchers work like opening an app. Niagara is one of them. You can make a shortcut for it, in floating bar?
I use Nova Launcher on the main display and quickly 3-finger swipe apps to the Dual Screen if needed. My Dual Screen homescreen only has widgets on them., I don't use the launcher on it.
Could you use launcher hijack to make it work? Like the Kindle Fires solution for the stock launcher replacement, that opens the launcher of choice upon pressing the home button?

Launcher Hijack does not work, I just tried it.
I use Microsoft's launcher. And usually Swiftkeys. You would think with Duo coming out in a year these products would support this phone. I'm a little disappointed they don't yet.
I found a slightly quirky but reliable method to do this. See my attachments, same launcher on both screens. The one with the notification bar is the main screen, one without is dual screen.
It works with home launchers with a way to get to their home screen via shortcuts. I use nova
Instructions:
0. Make sure you have navigation bar selected instead of gestures in phone settings>display>navigation bar
1. Install App Cloner (the real one, not on Google Play) and make yourself a duplicate of nova or etc.
2. Backup your current launcher settings
3. Open and restore from backup on the second copy of your launcher
4. Install Pie Control from Google Play or etc
5. You can setup pie control as you like. You'll likely have the home button setup as one of your gestures. But this home button will only of course open a single launcher, you can't change it to use a different launcher on each screen. So, add another gesture that you'll use for the second screen.
6. On your selected gesture, set what it does to shortcut>nova (it will be the second nova on the list)>default page (this is the main home screen of your launcher).
7. To get to your launcher on the second screen, just tap your second screen, then do your gesture you set to the shortcut on your main screen. You'll see your fave launcher open on the second screen.
I know this isn't ideal, but it works great for me and if there's still anybody out there looking for this, here you go.
