Xperia S TV Launcher - starting without beeing connected to HDMI - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
any way to start the TV Launcher of Xperia S w/o beeing connected to HDMI, for example in Live Dock?
--- EDIT ---
I will now take a look myself

well an idea I think will work is download launcherPro and place an activity on the homescreen. The activity would point toward the launcher. Try it

Sorry, doesn't work.
I think we need to mofify the startup first in manifest and than manipulate the smali code for startup...

Hi !
Actually, I did manage to activate the TvLauncher on Android's Home,
but the application itself doesn't work without HDMI, they probably
made it HDMI dependend in the code and the amount of code
is too long and cut for me to search for a way to fix that..
I did edit the manifest to make the application launchable,
and added some infos to have the icon showing.
The application is signed in order to be installed correctly.
(Without it, nothing will show. Done with my AndroidAppsEditor.)
The application starts, forces the screen to landscape (set in the manifest),
then black screen and closes itself directly..

You've got to be kidding me..
Orders?
Remember this is done on free time, for free, and everyone doesn't have free time all the time, there are more important things then spend hours on that application for the moment...

this is not a military base, so if Adrian fix it you can use it without credits?
i dont think so then i report it

Thanks for all your efforts. I was able to make an launchable apk and as Adrian said, its forces landscape, than blackscreens and closes itselfs... Will try to fix when i have some time..

you will need to upload it elsewhere and then provide a link.
i assume this is to prevent people uploading masses of files to the xda servers

Only with copying this files I don't got a working launcher. When I install some of the other modded ARC-Launchers and copy your files (and install timescape - 2 of them works - 1 of them I got Install-Error) I've got FC every few seconds. Also a restart doesn't change anything.
Copying all the files across worked for me however when phone 1st starts i get a twitter fc and if i want to use the facebook timescape i get fc as well. Still playing around but looks good. Thanks

hey to mod of this thread. i have to point out some of things for you as to why you guys are gettin' fc'ses all the time.i use to be an x10 owner and i can tell you alot of things to it. 1. you're missing awhole lot of plugin's from sony's phone such as timescape twitter, timescape facebook, timescape messages and w/e other are there. as far as porting is concerned it won't be possible because those plugins and timescape is sony coded software, unless you wanna take a crack at it and look into those codes .good luck it won't be fun i can tell you that. you're gonna have to rewrite the whole thing to samsung's codes + arc launcher and all or x10 same issue.. why are you gettin' f'cs well here's one open up the script of apk launcher and take a crack at fixing the screen resolution + all the shortcuts that are with it to be rewritten into samsung's phone. so there's the whole explaination to this. if i can do anythin' ill try but can't gurentee it b/c im still trying to work through alot of things in apks and all, like editing and so ive not got to scripts yet.
I was a x10i owner too before it was stolen this is the reason why I love timescape i did not think this was necessary because it worked for me without this too but if you are facing problem then —
1. change in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=xxx
to
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
and add
ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia
You will find above "build. Prop" in root directory-system
Use root explorer preferably

This works pretty well. Can't use the Facebook or Twitter plug ins though. Also tried to install the Arc launcher (which looks better IMHO) but it wouldn't install at all.
Look forward to further progress

sorry, not tethering. I'll try them all. but i don't think I'll have much luck.
It's just the option in Sony Ericsson --> Connectivity.
I see tethering is one step further, but i don't want to go there. just the screen before will be fine so i can toggle the connect to my pc under trusted devices
Sorry for any confusion,

[SOLVED] [Q] Decrease amount of homescreens?

Hi,
so I've tried to use a Home.apk intented to use for a Xperia S but that kinda destroyed my phone and I hat to repair it using SEUS and reinstall everything.
My question is - is there a reliable apk for the Ion which I can use to decrease the amount of homescreens from 5 to 3?
Thanks in advance!

Stock home.apk does not allow you to change the number of home screens. Sorry.
BTW, questions are supposed to be in the Q&A Section. Not the general section.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Actually you can. Go to home. Press menu button. Then press right soft button.then popup comes. Choose configure and then you can press on the x on the screen of the window of the homescreen. And there you go from 5 to 4 screens and so on

Last time I did that my phone rebooted automatically. Just to be sure I'll do it anyways!
When playing with launchers, make sure you are doing it tight, or that you have a secondary launcher in case it doesn't work.

@OP - In case you want a stock launcher with 3 home screens, you can try decompiling it and change the number of home screens.

Here you go. I have tried to change the number of homescreens to 3. Hopefully it should work. Just download the apk, and replace it with the one in /system/app and set permissions like this -

I'm not sure whether I should try this or not.
The last two times I tried stuff like that my phone soft bricked.

What does the apk do? Simply delete 2 homescreens? Or changing the design/loader, etc?
EDIT: NVM. Thank you so much! Now it's not only way more beautiful, but I can finally delete homescreens! Thanks!
not at all
