Hi, is it any possible to make a landscape homescreen on Sony Ericsson Home?
Yes it is Possible
Yes it is possible but with the help of third party App
in the market there is two free apps available
1) Go Launcher ex
and
2) AWD launcher
install any one i recommend the AWD launcher
after install it press the home button and select the AWD home screen
when AWD is applied you can change its settings by tab on settings / preference
here is the option to landscape mode.

Sorry but i think this is not true - installed the fw on my arc and there is no landscape mode for homescreen. As far as i know it´s only possible with the xperia Play and Neo
Confirm, still not possible in latest ARC (4.0..) version. Unfortunately

Not on the Neo. I have one and it doesn't work in Landscape just by turning the phone.
Landscape on the launcher is ONLY activated if you
- slide open the keyboard/keypad (Pro and Play only obviously)
- dock the phone (all models)
Sony ericsson announced Homescreen landscape but it is only working on HDMI mode
i downloaded the leaked home.apk from sony and it did have the landscape mode. though the new firmware doesn't have it

For me the Landscape mode works fine for phone dialer, Call log etc. but not the Launcher
So the feature exist, only a dev should enable it.
I hope someone will fix this
Kind regards,

Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Until now New version[.368] not available for Play.
When it released,we can try that launcher in our ARC.
So landscape works for the keypad but what if you are doing a text search on contacts?
After clicking on the contacts text search can you flip the keypad to landscape?
(questions referring to non-physical keypad xperia arc, neo or ray)
Edit: I played with an Arc and have confirmed this shortcoming. At some stage you are stuck with a full qwerty in portrait mode. Guess it would be the same for a Ray

i have it on my arc, very light, no loading apps that installed on sd card each time i press home button, improved animations for icons.
Is it just me or is there a big gab between the 4th row and the dock?

[MOD] Transparent Home Dock for Arc [ Update - 2.0.A.0.20 ]
It works nice on my stock non-rooted arc.
Problem is the widget overview is now pointless eye-candy. The widgets float around one over another and are harder to read and tap than last version. I don't see a way to turn it off even.
not working
Ok, I think that I have made something wrong because I can not see any difference.
I can see the option to remove instaled aps but can not see the overview and widgets floating?!
I have read somewhere that I have to remove everything from the desktop on my phone, tried that too but nothing.
By the way, non rooted Arc.
Thanks
the Theme setting is useless now, huh?
Hello everybody. Is it possible to get it with 7 homesreens ?

You could try the experia arc launcher, follow the instruction carefully, it's a great launcher, quick and you can have multiple widgets and fully customizable homescreens!! Not sure about the size of the icons in the drawe3r, they seem to be the same size as the ones you get in most launchers. Give it a try!!

The arc launcher is one fot he best launchers i've used for simplicity, downside is that it has no landscape support which is the only thing that lets it down

OOOh, yeah!! I forgot, I don;t know exactly where it is in the x10mini forum, but somebody modded one of the arc launchers to support landscape!!! You'll have to do some digging, but it's there and the post includes screens. Im not sure it was on the first page though
Hope this helps!!

Awesome, thank you.
Also, have you had a problem with your phone not remebering the sort by alphabeticaly?
I set it to the other options and it will use them options until i change it.
But when i do it by "Alphabetical" it automatically changes back after i've launched something.
I havent had that problem yet, alhough the problem I did have was that the launcher would forget everything whenever I restarted the phone!!
I realised I had been installing the app instead of moving it to the correct folder with root explorer and setting the permissions correctly.
just follow the steps they set properly (they are on the first post I think) and you will have no problem.
i personally think the "xperia active" launcher is better than the Arc launcher. u can have 16 shortcuts in the 4 corners of the Homescreen. multiple widgets, and a very nice iteration from the ARC launcher, that is, when u pinch to get the "widgets overview" mode, the widgets are not "stable" but are "floating" in the screen. VERY nice tweak. try the active launcher.
In my experience, the xperia active launcher seems to position widgets a little to the right in landscape mode (makes their right ends go off the screen.)

Go launcher is only for home launcher than what about Calling UI even this has 4 corners
BTW: i always press speaker button or mute button while in call its annoying me any Pro Dev's help me with out rooting or any 3rd party apps for both Home and Calling UI
that is related to launcher (home.apk) If u don't want them u have to replace the launcher. no other solutions.

You will have to mod system UI and phone.apk (root access)
And btw don't you have a proximity sensor to disable touch during call..
To OP: Try any launcher (apex, nova, go, miui home etc.) to remove the phone corners...
But if you want the Xperia look and feel... Try Xperia Z launcher:thumbup:

Yes. It won't replace the stock launcher, but you have another UI and you should be able to use go launcher, or apex, or any other. Or you root and you can try to play around with some system.apks

Which menu are trying to move icons around on? Or are you referring to the home screen or home launcher? If so, is it the launcher that comes with the phone or one you installed from an app store? What phone and what software update does it have? Did you root and install a custom recovery or just root only?

Try "Nova Launcher" if your device is Android 4.0+. Prime version is the launcher I#m using at the moment. Highy customizable and pretty fast
Complete free solution: Mini Launcher

Well, when you have the Red X there and the icons move around, that is the uninstall app option. Should just be able to hit the back button to get out of that part. Make sure there isn't an option in the settings of the home screen that lock the desktop, which prevents moving of icons and widgets around. If you are trying to sort them a custom way in the actual app drawer, it's very likely that the stock Sony home launcher does not have this option. Like the other member mentioned, check out the Nova launcher, or the Apex Launcher. Both have free and paid versions with lots of ability to customize to your liking as well as running very smoothly on most devices.

If this bug Just for me I will restore with Xperia PC Companion for fresh install...
Is there a fix for SAF on microSd cards? Google mentioned a partial bypass option in Android 12, but said Android 11 phones are SOL with a frozen older kernel. Samsung and some other phones have their own bypass. MicroSd is totally broken for all recently updated apps on Xperia 1 III running Android 11.
(Apps released in Play Store after Nov 2021 must use SAF for microSd. There's a 10x to 10000x performance penalty and no more access outside of scoped storage. The card essentially doesn't work anymore unless you use apps from other stores.)

I found this bug in both the Hong Kong version and the Russian version.
If you have rooted your phone, you can try Pixelated Launcher.
Although this Launcher still has some bugs, such as the disappearance of desktop icons, the widgets can be used normally.

Updated to Android 12 via OTA yesterday. Nova7 launcher adding widgets with no problem and everything works smooth.

I'm using Always + 80% as my Battery Care setting. When (wireless) charging, if the current battery level is above 80%, it doesn't charge any more, which is correct; however if it's below 80%, it charges until full. Anyone's got the same issue after upgrading to Android 12? I'm using 1 III HK.
