[Q] Homescreens - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have seens some really fantastic home screens lately online. those that seem non standard (at least for me), like having the link to an app not as a square on your screen but as text instead (and not written vertically or horizontally, but diagonally).
is that part of the rom they are using or themese? Is it possible for the arc s? If so, any info?

Sounds like it's just a different launcher, you can get pretty much any to work with your phone, as an apk, or as a theming app from the play store, which is where you get the themes, however narrowing it down to what theme it was, is your job

When I first joined here the thread I read everyday was the "post a screen shot" in the X10 section, you'll learn a lot from it and come across the apps and mods used by others to create their unique Home screens.

It's probably just an app or a combination of apps. Try looking for multicon, minimalist text, icon changer, font installer, etc etc

Is there an unlocked version of touchwiz?

Is there a touchwiz rom that is essentially stock but is unlocked so I can move my app drawer button and the number of rows and columns of icons? These are really the only things I want to change. Thanks in advanced community.
i remember for my gs2 there was a modded tw launcher that u could fully customize, even had themes.vit was called i believe "twiz launcher 4.5" I'm pretty sure it runs on our device. just do a forum search for tw 4.5 or similar to that and ull find it. it was very cool.

Hmm, if you can't find what your looking for, try apex launcher.

Search TweakWiz. Puts the app drawer in the middle and changes the grid layout to utilize more of the screen real estate.
Edit: I was feeling nice, so I searched for you, as I remembered it being linked in the Wicked ROM thread. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30471519
Just a side note about searching, for those who use the app, you can open any thread in the browser using the menu or tapping a post, and the search feature once in the browser view works great. You can search the thread itself, or "breadcrumbs" at the top of the page to go back and search a specific forum(like Q&A, Development etc). I know the app's search feature isn't very good, so just thought I'd share.

Squeez more widgets/icons on home screen?

Is there a way to add more widges on the home screen? I want a google search widget between my clock and my app icons. There is definitely room but it wont let me add it.Thanks
The only way is to switch to another launcher (like Nova) that allows you to increase the vertical&horizontal grid size.
Here is my home screen

Like zmore said, try nova(my personal fav) or apex.

I've been an avid lover of "Go Launcher EX". With a screen this big, adding an extra row and going 5 wide helps out. Just take a solid hour and try out all the different launchers. IMHO I was never sold sold on touchwiz, dumped it the very first five minutes I owned the SGS1.
Try running 'Multicon' widget. It allows you to display 4 icons in the space 1 icon normally uses. Seems to work great for me.

Theme help

Can anyone tell me what theme this is or where I can find something similar? I've looked at so many launchers and themes and just can't find anything as nice and simple
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Post help/questions in the Q/A, Help section. Not here.
From the screen shot I believe this theme is made by this application called
"Minimalistic Text"
Download from the given link below-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&hl=en
Thanks I got the app, looks good so far, but how about the homepage icons, they don't have icons just text. It looks great I want something like that.

Those are not just text, Those are icons.
you can make this type of icons with this application. Then with a icon changer or launcher like Nova/Apex you can change stock icons with these customized text base icons.
It was a different app by the same people called simple text but you got me on the right track, thanks a bunch my phone looks great

[Bounty] $Fallout 3 Style Theme$

Ive been looking for a Fallout pip-boy 3000 style theme for a while now. Its basically why I created this account. I was thinking vault boy app logos in a pip-boy style menu bar or something. There is one for jail broken iPhones but i have found nothing for rooted androids yet. Ill gladly pay 15 dollars if someone can develop a solid theme.
Unfortunately I dont have enough posts to post outside links yet, but if you google "fallout 3 iPhone theme" You can find pictures.
Thank you in advance.

Wow thanks. Another quick question though, do I have to run this through another app such as or similar to Go Launcher EX? Because i found two other themes but they both require me to run through some other app and the theme isnt changing the actually home screen of my phone, just the appearance of the application im using the theme through.
Ill give it a shot though, thank you.

Show me your home screens!!

So I'm creating this post to ask everyone who wants to participate to give a few screenshots of their home screens and a little description of what they have running on their phones such as launcher, skin, ROM, etc. Also gives a little insight of how people like to organize their home screen layout.
So I'm using nova launcher prime, custom pink navbar through paranoid android. Background from zedge abstract wallpapers. Flashed pacman ROM 4.3. Lock screen circles invisi
