[Q] Number of homescreen panels in Cyanogen mod 7.2 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Just successfully installed Cyanogen Mod 7.2 on my Xperia X8.
Everything is awesome, but i have the inconvenient experience that the default number of homescreen panel (i really don't know if that's the current name, i refer to the panels where you put the widgets on your homescreen) is too many, 5. I'd like to reduce that number to 3 or 2, but i cannot find where.
On my Galaxy Gio this is done doing a pinch on the homescreen, but i can't figure why this gesture doesn't not work the same in the X8.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure, but go to Settings>CyanogenMod>Launcher(?). Change the number of homescreens from there. I'm not sure this is the actual process though.

Just try any other launcher like launcher pro or any other launcher..

hi there mate,
cm7 for x8 is essentialy the best ROM in terms of performance and stability! :good:
you can try out these ROMs and find which suits your style! and as by far you have a stock kernel you can try this!

That interface is called a "launcher". There is a possibility that the launcher coming with your ROM doesn't support reducing/increasing the number of screens. Search the settings thoroughly to see if this is the case.
If it is, then I recommend you try a different launcher, and there are really many to choose from. Personally, I recommend either ADW Launcher EX or Holo Launcher Plus (this one I feel is better). Both support reducing the number of screens, they are very configurable, and actually work ok for the X8. Also, if you're experimental, you might even try the Next Launcher. It's a 3D launcher that's amazingly smooth and looks very appealing. The only con with it is that it takes quite a chunk of RAM to run properly.

tweak given in first post mean to make your phone superfast and its working with CM9, cant say about this over mokee, your can try , just take backup through Titanuim backup before that so if something goes wrong you can restore to your previous point.
Also check V6 / 7 supercharger, it help me on MIUI to make phone fast. for reference you can check one of the threrad related to miui in general section. PAARKHI has given link for V6 supercharger.

go to /system/app
remove touchwiz.apk or some apk like that
and in that folder add and launcher u want to use
You can try ICS AOSP / AOKP / MIUI ROMs under Development thread. its totally based on i9220 Chinese leaked ROM(KERNEL). Here u ll get complete taste of ICS.

BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :-D
I actually would prefer a ginger asop too atm...
Imilka was it i think who said had made one...
But he couldnt find it anymore...
Maybee we should ask him again...
Instead of building on unstable releases
And trying to make those stable, i would like to use
Like cm7, aosp ginger or miui ginger which will be more than stable
And enough kernel supported for full functionality...
Yes, imilka had it built, but I fear it might be lost now after his HD crash.
Still, I have this overwhelming feeling that the ICS is just around the corner now. It could be only a matter of days before it drops, and then we'll have the proper bugless AOSP to play with.

True...
I am no developer but i think devs like we have here would not need more than 1 day to make a bugfree aosp gingerbread...
And i do still prefer gingerbread in a few points atm...
But the devs know what they are doing...
Their meal their decision...
Since the ICS update for note has been delayed to april/may According to sammobile i more and more see the need for an AOSP/AOKP Gingerbread release...

rom creation!

hey guys I tried all 4 rom are there for my optimus black, and I must say that I prefer his original ....
the only nice feature is the new delfin, others are not that great ...
almost all zeam launcher that I really do not like it at all!
The cyano is not very good now and then crashed and I have to restart the phone!
I wanted to ask the developers if they instead continue to update the same rom, you could not possibly build a new one .... I do not know how I'd play if not!
for example, using the cyano as the basis, perhaps with some kernel that makes it function better, and change the launcher base adw with another and with some modifications at the interface, status bar, and some news ....!
excuse me if I am a bit picky, but among the rom are there for this phone, I have the rom of the original because it's the best there is sincere!
sorry but my English is not my own language ...
Let me set this straight... you don't want the ROMs because of the launcher that it includes? Are you aware that you can install ANY launcher? (Even the Original LG Launcher)

You really prefer original V20? GB from LG? do you tried Zeus v6.11? its the best and stablest rom out there, and for one man only work its really awesome, its your opinion, but i think not much will agree When i use any rom i always change Keyboard, Launcher, maybe Theme when Cyanogenmod and Ringtone, so that the only changes are Interface and the Tweaks.. You should make a list what makes you say that original is best
something like pro/con you know ?`

even if the app is useless to fill memory and just, I like better than the original v20n other rom ... if I could I'd do one myself but unfortunately not so easy ... :-(
delfin the rom is nice, the MIUI 2.6 does not suit me because there is the Italian language, if no one was cute ... The Zeus and Marvel are not for my own!
cyano and does not work very well ...

You can uninstall the launcher that comes by default. Really, I don't see your point. The only thing that I could possible understand that you'd criticise are the themes... but still, the Zeus theme is really close to the stock one.
Sent from my LG Optimus Black
I don't mean any disrespect, but I think you basically don't know what you're talking about. You're out here in the forums criticizing all the rom developers out there who's doing their best to provide good, quality custom roms for us.
If you have a problem with the launcher then change it! You can't expect every developer to please you because each of use have different preference.
take a look...
the beauty of the droid lies in it's "Compatibility" and flexiness.
EVERY APPLICATION IN A ROM can be changed, modified or deleted.
the DEV provides a "standard" app for the ROM (like a standard launcher, generic keyboard,music player, etc). if you do not like it, delete them from the zip and add the ones you like BEFORE flashing.
u can swipe the apps from other ROM's you like, or better yet, install a ROM and then customize it. like i use the xperia s launcher, so i deleted the launcher with the ROM.
there are some GREAT ROM's out there. Try ZEUS. as said, ZEUS is phenomenal. also try ECHELON and MARVEL. these are your "stock" options.
else u can also go for MIUI(2.6 is really stable) or cm7.
and HOW ARE THERE "4" ROMs??!!! for GB, i can count:
1. ZEUS
2. ECHELON
3. MIUI
4. DELFIN
5. MARVEL
6. LEWA OS
7. LEZO
8. TMR
9. LFD
10. NOA
11.LIGUX
12. SAPPHIRE
13. PRADA 3.0
and 14.CM7 (original plus many KANGs)a....four ROMs???do search the forum a bit man
I'm not offending anyone at!
I simply asked if instead of doing the rom updates that are already there, you could not possibly create new ones!
This was the pillar of my request!
However, I repeat that my request was simply if you could make new rom! I have not really criticized the no!
and anyway thanks
So according to your first post, you'd rather use original, untweaked and considerably slower rom than any other rom on this forum ?

are definitely better ones on this forum for rom .... that the original ....
but the ones I like are not Italian and cyano is not working well ...
Heard about "More Locale " ? It gives you the option to instal languages in case the ROM doesn't have them.
Zeus gives the option to restore the dreaded LG launcher and keyboard so it will look as the original ROM it will just be faster and leaner.Same for most of the original software-browser, lock screen , office etc.
Apart from the looks, which as i said can be restored do say what makes the original ROM better for you?
The intention of the Threadstarter is clear: Troll.
Why do you guys even bother with that? Srsly

I don't know if the original intention was to troll, but definitely it ended that way.
I think that everything has already been said and cleared. Anybody agrees with me?

In custom roms I also miss the support of my language, MoreLocale2 doesn't restore my language, it only sets the country&language of the user.

CM 10.1 with stock Xperia Home Launcher

Hey guys I would really love to flash the CM 10.1 ROM for my Xperia V. There is only one problem I have with the ROM and it's the vanilla Android look. I can't stand it.
So is there any way to flash the CM 10.1 ROM but install the standard Xperia V launcher? I would really love to have those lockscreen widgedts
Thanks in advance,
Krytos.
No,
Its been asked and answered before.
However, it seems Sony are starting to work with Cyanogen so there maybe hope in the future

So is there any other 4.2 ROM out there working with the Xperia Launcher. Or any with lockscreen widgets? Cause the lockscreen widgets are the thing, I want the most. Actually I just want nice lockscreen notifications.
