Dear friends,
I have been install lately, the Nova launcher,
i read about him here in the forum, and i saw very beautiful home screens and widgets.
But after i install, this is very basic, i dont have any widgets that i have in the Xperia home screen,
like the extra clock, or small apps in a qube, and i searched the settings, but nothing...
can someone guide me in it?
SXU, 4.0.4 ICS, Root + Recovery.
Sony widgets are only compatible with Sony launcher. Weatherlove is a nice clock with weather.
For xperia widgets use stock launcher. I suggest to use launchers like apex or nova only on non stock based roms.

Stock widgets don't work on Nova. You have to download your own. Some are free, the best ones cost money though.
I recommend Beautiful Widgets (paid) and Zooper (has free version) to start you off.
You can try UCCW (Ultimate Custom Widget) if you have the patience to create your own.
Thank you all...
Backed to stock one.

You can use the digital clock widget. Use root explorer and move it to system/apps and change it to the proper permissions.
Photo widget doesn't work without arc launcher as far as i can tell.

Yea I got the clock and the news and weather widgets. I want the photo and timescape widgets.
Ahhh... if only you could have a 5x5 icon grid in the arc launcher I would just us it
I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D

I dont believe we got the timescape widgets working yet...I think were missing the libraries or something. But in all honesty I tried the photo widget and it just caused major lag man, not even worth it.
HeY hi guys suggest bEsT laUncHeR foR mA X8
Well,i use Launcher Pro,simple,very fast and smooth,also You could use Xperia Active Launcher,not so smooth,but its cool!
I like a lot the one called MxHome
ADWLauncher EX is awesome
Launcher Pro + XperiaArc Theme.
And it will look like Arc Launcher if you use a dock background but since it is LP, it is way more faster.

Default launcher is the best
honeycombs launcher is d'best.. find in market..
well heres how it goes
Fastest: launcher pro
Most good looking : SPB SHELL
MOST STABLE: DEFAULT LAUNCHER
I am using Launcher Pro on my GDXv017 ROM, smooth and powerfull.
The best, imho, remains Launcher Pro: highly customizable, theme-able and the smoothest i've tried.
If you like something lightweight, can try Zeam Launcher, I like its scrollable dock and the vertical scrolling in the app drawer (that default home doesn't have), even if it's a minimal launcher.
I tried also Claystone 3D, it seems fine to me, lot of features and I think more suitable (in terms of weight and smoothness) for our phone with respect to SPB.

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:

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 )

i want the original launcher without corners.. if someone can modify it like that to fit xperia mini

Do you mean the Arc launcher? I have that.
thanks
but i mean this new launcher modified to work and look as it does on hdpi devices.. right now i´m using a modified nozoomi launcher which works good, but it would be nice to have the newest version from sony. the launcher i have can only handle the new photowidget... and i want em all... (greedy) ;D
this is not nozomi launcher guys...background dock is not lighten ....this just based on Arc launcher ....isn't?

the 3rd preview on the attachment is photo and video widget not the arc launcher. a modified arc launcher.

the real xperia s launcher seems to have reflections under the icons on arc, play, ray etc

No. It is Xperia S launcher since it support new widgets and Arc launcher doesn't support it.
could be arc launcher..
photowidget works on arc launcher

Hi everyone,
Got my Xperia Tablet S 32gb today!
I am interested to know if people use the stock launcher or another one. I'll check again but can't find a thread yet for the Xperia Tablet S.
On my mobile phone, Xperia S, I use Go Launcher Ex but not tried it on the tablet yet!
I will check out 'Post Screens' thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271334 too !
Edit - found people are use Go Launcher Ex and ADW Launcher Ex! I'll experiment tomorrow!
Thanks!

I must admit that no launcher has been better so far than the stock launcher.
Besides which, you can't access the likes of Guest Mode with a custom launcher. Apex Launcher would be your best bet though
thanks SWFlyerUK!
I will tinker more with the stock launcher and also try out Apex Launcher. I like Go Launcher Ex and it's different animations on my Xperia S Phone.

I need stock tablet home apk. Will be glad if u upload it for me. Thx.
can anyone find a ics tablet stock launcher?
I reckon nova launcher is the best atm. Way smoother than GO etc.

It possible to have weather and clock widget from samsung, and launcher? for gb it will be great if i can have it, and when it be the newest xD
Try to get them from any Samsung rom that already contains them, and give it a try.
But If you want my opinion, Sony new widgets are awesome
