Custom Launcher App

Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob

To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

good launchers:
GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience

if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Yeah, that would've been neat, but I'm sticking to Desktop VisualizeR right now where this wouldn't help either way.

I want to put something in that empty space, only ADW has the option to completely disable the dock.

Launcher pro + customer launcher icons.
change icons, and the dock itself.
Excellent. Gives the phone a new look at any time.

And yes you can use them without root.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.

Is it possible to run the Motorola Widget?

I found "THIS" one and tryed to launch but with my Novalauncher it's not possible ;(
Only the Launcher that comes with this widget will work together.
Now my Question is....is it possible to convert this apk?
I LOVE THIS THEME from the watch and wheater....and NO "One More Lock Widget" in the Playstore is no alternative because it looks not so good and has much more Battery Drain ;(
THX for Help!

I don't think it can be converted to work with other launchers. Sony's widgets haven't worked on other launchers for years now and nobody (that I know of) has got them working on other launchers.
Shouldn't this be in the Q&A section?

Is it not possible to change the Settings in the APK?
Or to "say" the APK it's the right launcher?

I created 2 thread about this widget. And it is impossible to make the widget working on non-Motorola launcher.

[Q] How to use sony widgets after freezing stock xperia home?

I decided to use another launcher in place of the stock xperia one
so I also froze it with rom toolbox
In this case some of Sony provided widgets e.g. weather, disappear from the widgets menu or list in the app drawer
Is it possible to recover them and make them usable with other launchers somehow?
Thanks a lot

Not as far as I know. I can't use them on Apex Launcher or Nova either (even without disabling the sony launcher).

You cannot use sony widgets on custom launchers

Some of them do work on nova
for instance the camera widgets and some from walkman
but not the music controls and others
kinda bummer....

Same here with Next Launcher, but better sacrifice some widget than use the stock launcher which is very ugly.

There is a sony walkman widget in the playstore that I use with nova, it's not quite as pretty but gets the job done.

I haven't found one for the weather which I like but HD widgets is just as nice

Widgets on alternate launchers possible ??

Hello all- I recently watched a review of this phone and the reviewer showed that it was not possible to add widgets to the home screen of this phone while using an alternate launcher such as Nova, Apex, etc...
Is this true ? I am just looking for verification before I consider getting one of these.
Cheers, LL13- :good: :good:

Not true. I used Nova Launcher Prime and i can add widgets as i please.
You may not be able to add lenovo widgets unless u are using VibeUI's launcher. But all other widgets are working fine.

OK, Thank You alexkit....
The guy in the video must have had an issue with his phone. He was using Nova launcher and every time he tried to add a widget to his home screen he got a force close.
One more question if you dont mind !! (actually 2 questions LOL)
How are the selection of themes ? Can you customize themes like using icons from in another theme, etc... ?
Cheers, LL13- :good: :good: :good:

As per FeyoMX @ http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/...n-esto-te-interesa.99919/page-28#post-1058348
You need to copy the launcher directory into /system/priv-app/
And reboot.

Try this

I've found that on some ROMs if you don't add a widget with the stock launcher at least once it won't allow you to add a widget with Nova, if nova doesn't allow you to add widget switch back to the stock launcher for a second and add one, then switch back, see if that sorts it!

Hi. Nice job! Those icons might go real nice on my mocha gold phone. Is it possible to download them? I see they are used with Buzzlauncher but I don't quite see how to get the icons themselves. Thanks!
EDIT: Ah! Found them in the theme app!
