Want the home launcher from the Arc on your X10?

[Xavier]

Hi guys,

Just saw this on XDA, thought I would share..

Xperia Arc Home Launcher and widgets on X10 - xda-developers
All credit to OP on XDA

This zip file includes the new news, digital clock, images/video widgets and the home launcher from the SE Arc.

no root needed just unzip the file to your desktop and drag to APKs to your SD card and install via Explorer or Astro.

It's VERY quick!

ya I did this last night to take a look at it.
Looks nice but some gripes I have:
If you use widgets, such as a battery meter, vibrate toggle or like I also use the gmail unread count, those icons don't align with the stock icons.

Also instead of swiping left and right to change screens, I kinda got use to pressing the dots on the bottom corners of the screen and I can't do that with ARC homescreen.

Any ideas on whether if affects battery performance?

 

[x10iii]

do we get the media pane as well? including the scrollable images widget?

I've had it running for a few days. there's nothing that I can see that affects battery performance. with home switcher, you can switch back and forth between the old and new one.

It looks fine, pretty fun to play with i like the animations. Only thing is that i can't install the digital clock it fails

I downloaded the zip file from XDA Dev for the Arc 2.3 ROM.
Is there any of the other APK's within it we can install safely?

just tried this on my X10 and found it pretty slow compared with my install of launcherpro plus.
i'm also on 2.2 so dont know if that makes a difference or maybe my phone is just fast enough already lol

I have the same problem, Using the BW clock atm but I would like the 3D digital clock shown in the screen shots over on the XDA link in the first post!

its a widget, the pictures are misleading because they show widgets that arent included.
such as the info widget which is available on the market at a cost.

people should really post up screenshots of what is included without making it look better and not explaining whats been added.
the clock widget it the very same clock in the screenshots between alarm clock and camera

Most of them should work fine

Never expected the Arc Launcher would be better of all the other launchers i've tried. You can put A LOT of stuff in that bar, without loosing interface performance. It's quick & soooo beautifull, i would recommend it to everyone

i found it fine... except when using the scrollable photo widget (which is extremely laggy) and it also lags when pinch zooming the screen to get an overview of ur widgets.. back to adw for me..
