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.

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

Use serajr's Xperia home mod here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743984
Just like the stock ics home.apk but with loads of customizations

Thanks man, I'll give that one a try. Def gonna make a complete backup before trying it, though. : D
Lol no need to make a full backup, just make sure you set the correct permissions and you shouldn't have any problems

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.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
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.
D:
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!

THIS THREAD WAS PREVIOUSLY IN PORTING STAGE SO DONT MIND THE POST'S BELOW
hello there
I modded a transparent app drawer in our touchwiz.I personally tested it in stock ZCKPA and optimized the transition effects for smoother and faster UI.I've attached zip files for both odexed[stock],deodexed[custom rom].Flash them in recovery.Rom makers can use this as long as they mention my name.+1 if ya like it
Update1:added iphone style transition[odex only] tested and working in ZCKPA...values not yet optimized so you can consider this as a beta...
update2:*made the transitions 1x fast
*changed the folder icon to iphone folder style (see attachment)
+1 and download...i hate it when ppl don't appreciate my work

sorry really is beyond my control i literally just switched out some images and got some better images to match the ics i didnt create that mod. if you can ask the original mod creator to change the order and then let me know i will add it to the ics theme again.
hope this helps
i will also add have you tried scrolling the widget bar left and right it had more widgets than can be shown by sliding it
also when in landscape you can see all of them.

The one I posted was resized to fit...however you can just change the desc.txt to correct resolution. That way graphic is better. I couldn't figure out to get the sound...it's suppose to be bootanim.mp3, but then the graphic wont load. So I'm stuck.

Hi,
I got a question about enabling on screen buttons in OpenSEMC 0.5 running android 4.2.2, what is btw one of the best ROMS I've ever seen.
On AOKP 4.1.2 the option was integrated but the dev of this Rom haven't included it yet, so I need another way to get my loved on screen buttons.

Use root explorer..
Got to system/build.prop
Enter qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the bottom..
Save it and change the permissions to rw-r-r..

App-Choose
OK,
I tried it and works fine.
But am I wrong or are the buttons bigger than on a Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus?
I think they are a little big too big
Another thing maybe somebody could help me with.
I have Google Now and Alicoid (like Siri but on Android) and with the latest version of Alicoid, you're able to put the App into I call it "long-home-button-press-menu" (idk how to call it. I'm German )
But in my case (idk if anybody else noticed that yet because Alicoid is not such a famous app) there is only a Search button (like in 1st Screenshot)
And after I selected that search-button the normal app-chose menu pops up (2nd screenshot) and let me choice between Gnow and Alicoid.
Maybe sb can say me if there is any possibility to get rid of this app-choser and to have both apps in the "long-home-button-press-menu".
I know my discription is a little cofusing put i hope somebody knows what i mean
Thanks!
EDIT: Screenshots added!

It looks like it's a "Live wallpaper" and by even removing the default supplied live wallpapers, this one is not effected - it sticks.

i wish we could unlock the screen by waving over and then pressing anywhere on the screen
that feature was available on the note 2, saved me from pressing the home button

i really want to customize this. i really want to get rid off the animation. the point of quick glance is also to preserve battery. since super amoled only lit up the pixels used. i prefer just the time and notifications light up. NO ANIMATION.

here is the APK modded glance view.apk. this is the modded version by me with all animations removed with just a simple black background. and if you want a different background. just open the .apk with 7zip or equivalent and go to /res/raw/background.png and replace it with your own imagine with identical resolution.
when you are done. go place it in /system/app
*make sure you backup your original glanceview.apk in /system/app
* restart phone right after overwriting the apk.
*phone might restart itself right after overwriting, this is normal, and it will ONLY do it once.
please only do this at your own risk.
