Does anyone who has modded the se home apk know why you can't change orientation on the x10?
Does it require a slide out input like the Xperia play game pad?
Thx in advance...

Don't go Tripping out on us... Just kidding.
Seriously though, it would probably take something to force the phone into landscape mode (such as a slide-out keyboard or game pad) to kick the launcher into landscape. I've seen apps on the Market that claim to be able to force landscape. I haven't tried them as I don't want to fork out money for something that I'll only use once and might not work.
haha nice pun. haven't been online for a while. just saw your reply. thanks for the input

Because on each change of orientation the launcher will redraw itself, causing lags and hang. Moreover widgets may get problem loading. You need to reboot then. But some widgets won't get repaired on rebooting too. Also when you use large widgets alongside smaller ones, change in orientation will cause overlapping.

Actually, i tried using an app that forces landscape mode on the newest xperia launcher and it worked pretty well...

Go Launcher does landscape on x10. Not SE Home I know, but if you're dying for landscape it worked fine for me. Played with it for a few days but I'm not big on home landscape style. And I've got a few widgets that worked fine. Winamp 4x2, Google Search 4x1, Track ID 4x1, Power Widget 2x1, Android flashlight (used to be Arc flashlight ...x10 flashlight didn't work for me). All flipped seamlessly, no more delay than flipping the browser, less even some times.
Check this out! I found a modded xperia s style home apk that can autorotate!!!
Through the XDA news portal I found this Xperia Arc thread which, among other things, had a home apk that can autorotate!!
I deleted all other files except the home.apk and flashed it to achotjans semc debrand engine. It works beautifully!
Check for the zip at the bottom!
PS: all credits go to pajoneer for providing the apk! Give him some thanks too!

i dont know yet how to port this to our device, so i just post the link for any experience user here to try porting it.. (im going to learn ) please help us...
I tried the launcher and I got 4 corner launcher. Maybe the fact I had it and replaced it had something to do with it.
Why dont you try go launcher or adw launcher? They all have themes.

This launcher is called Xperia 2.0 launcher. . .

And read carefully so you can find out which version you can download.

Of course i know what he ment, i gave him resized version because i know that in the thread that he linked in first post isn't resized launcher. When you open app drawer you will see 4th row that is on a bottom of drawer and you can't use those applications. . . Nevermind, tried to give you resized version so you don't have to resize from begining and just to mod visual changes for now (as i don't know is there performance updates in Xperia S launcher). . .

you see, the only methods (about S launcher) i found (so far) is modded from the original arc launcher (i found the modded apk files, of course in arc forum)..thats why i 'think' we have to install arc launcher first..
im not arguing with you about those details, the whole main points to my post here is about modding the launcher for right now, it is an idea, and im asking help for it, if someone come here and tell us that launcher can be port, surely i know that i dont need to install arc launcher.. and im already aware that S launcher is not leak yet, there comes the mod-thing is..

Maybe it's problem in my attitude, i was not arguing. And a fact, i didn't stated that i gave you resized launcher so that is my fault in my first post to this thread. I allready tried to mod this launcher, but i can't find solution to decompres sources from apk. Tried several programs based on jar, exe etc. I wanted to try to fix landscape bug, photo widget (when you place it on a homescreen, after while it states that it can't be loaded). . .

the stock calendar is good and also the weather widget.
(better backup the walkman app and widget for wt19i before installing the music app)
buggy on launcher and music app coz of small resolution.
cheers!
Yeah I've tried a few of them:
- the earth live wallpaper is pretty slick. Tap the earth fromt the corner of the screen and it changes the view of the earth like on the PS3. You see the moon too.
- the music app doesn't work well on the Mini. It's sized poorly for the Mini and you can't stop the music. I'm not that fond of that app generally.
- for the clocks, install widget picker too. The clock selection is good and it includes that really elegant new Sony S clock.
- I'm tersting the new home but haven't been able to get it to work. I deleted the old home, installed the new on, correct permissions, wiped cache and dalvik and still it looks exactly like the older one...
I've been able to install all of these apps on the stock SE rom without needing a root explorer. If anyone wants to read an original article on this:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/02/25/xperia-s-home-launcher-and-widgets-leaked/
Xperia Mini
The new launcher is little different, but the biggest difference is that is supports newly added widget (couldn't make them work on old launcher).
Anyway, since I've been using the modded 4x4 SE launcher, bottom apps have been cropped out due to size of the screen.
It would be neat if someone correctly resized the music player, it's really cool (it even fills out mp3 tags and cover art for you )

Stock Xperia!!:highfive:
Yeah, I love Xperia Home, too. It is probably the nicest launcher out there and it is also pretty fast with no lags.
In my view, Sony makes the most beautiful interface among all Android manufactures, while they keep the feel of the vanilla Android. Maybe their updates take a little bit longer but they are very well optimized and bring some additional features unlike Samsung, who keep the interface same and just update it to the newer version.

Sony is very original (design, ui, apps, Cosmic Flow, Floating Touch, White Magic etc.) and yet everything is absolutelly beautiful unlike Samsung, who copies almost everything from Apple (design, ui-touchwiz, s voice.....) and guess what....everything is ugly and worse. Sony also updated all of its 2011 phones, when tried to offer all of their features. Samsung offers new features only to their new Galaxy S series, when you have lower end phone and get update for GB to ICS it still looks the same. It is sad that they still hold most of the market, I wish Sony had more market share than Samsung because they try hard and they really deserve it.
Also what no one seems to notice but sony was the first to use the look of the notification draw icon in the middle with two apps either side of it. This interface was then adopted my google in the stock version of ICS and now other manufacturers have skinned their ICS skin to this look as well (HTC one series for example)
Dear all,
I have made a port of the Xperia T Launcher with some added features.
It is supposed to work on every device with ICS / JB.
Some Xperia users with stock firmware have reported FC after installation.
If you are experiencing the same problem, can you please send me a logcat?
Thanks
* Install the app as a normal apk. It won't replace your stock Xperia launcher.
EDIT:
The FC problem is now solved: Solution info
Dude please name the features you added and there is no need to port the launcher

Well...
I (myself) added some features such as:
- User selectable number of home screens (up to 11) and default screen selection
- Customizable desktop and app drawer grid size (from 3 x 3 to 9 x 9)
- Infinite scrolling on the desktop and the app drawer
- Resizable widgets (resize even normally non-resizable widgets)
- Hide apps from the app drawer
- Show / hide icon labels on the desktop, the dock and the app drawer
- Enable / disable app sharing on social networks
- Enable / disable tactile feedback (vibration)
- Icon packs support (load icons from: Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher and GO Launcher themes / icon packs)
- Backup and restore launcher settings
- Support for any resolution and any display density (custom DPI)
- Others
Running OK so far, suggestions would be to allow different home button and folder icons. And of course widgets of timescale.

Hi.
I'm currently using Serajr´s four corner GX Home Launcher: See thread.
I need a digital clockwidget, that is compatible to open my alarm when I pick it, like sony's clockwidgets do, but I can't find any clocks that are able to do so and works with this launcher.
Have tried playstore and several clock widgets in there, but none of them do the job.
Does anyone have a solution or some other clock widget that's compatible with the alarm?

Have you tried this one? If not then try it as it seems like exactly what you are looking for (I also use it ).

I have attached the clockwidgets.apk from stock Xperia Go ICS, try and use this one, push it into the system and set the correct permissions. If this does not work then I have no idea on how to get it to work.
I think you're Loking about xperia NXT Clock Widget . So i think it works only in Advanced Launcher . so maybe this is the problem that you use another Launcher
Thanks for trying
It didn't work.
