Hi I'm thinking of changing the Xperia home for something else. What of the alternate launchers would you recommend me? My priorities is efficiency, customizability, good organization and nice look. Moreover I tried some and noticed that it can't insert some of built-in default widgets, namely Xperia clock 2x1, Xperia notes 2x2 and Xperia system toggles 2x1. How do I use these in 3rd party launcher? Can I install these widgets as standalone app so that be accessible from any launcher?

If u want a fast, stable and customizable launcher, I would definitely recommend nova launcher... Smooth as silk!
For the widgets part, as far as I know, Sony widgets are only supported in Sony made launchers!
U could try xperia z launcher, its really good n smooth too! (but mobile needs to be rootednfor that)
Cheers..
XZ launcher seems not to be found on google play and too bad the 3 named widgets not available outside Xperia Home. I'm already used with them and thanks for confirming Nova, I have hesitated between this apex and sslauncher.

Vote for nova
I've tried it. But switched and used Sony Launcher again.
I like those widgets too
Sorry for going a bit off topic but, is there any Launcher that allows us to change its menu icon..
Most of the launchers come with AOSP menu icon and aren't changeable. I want one that can be changed to xperia like.

Yet a suggestion for acceptable Xperia clock widget replacement? I hate Clock JB+ and several ones I don't like too. Mostly I miss the tight widget integration with alarms and small size (2x1 only) with decent look. I also want to have shown date within the widget.
Is there way to extract these internal widgets somehow and install as standalone app?
I'm using Xperia Launcher that comes with the IrocEVO 4.2.2 rom, but I'm having a little problem setting up my home screen due to the fact that I can't find a settings or preferences feature for it..?? Is anyone else having this issue, if so is there a settings.apk or something I can download for it, I'd like to remove the screen notification dots, maybe make the bottom dock more transparent, hide the statusbar, etc.. I'm a typical Nova Prime user, which has all those features, but I do like the setup of the Xperia Launcher so I'm tryna see what I can do with it.. Thanks in advance..
I am working to make Xperia Launcher full featurable but stuck in adding transitions and Wallpapers i see many launcher coding but get confused.
So any dev can help me out.
Hello buddies ... I am very disappointed that we recieved Lollipop which is slightly different from that on Z1/2/3 ...
Old launcher with small icons and 3x3 dot homebutton looks ugly ... especially with metarial design around it.
Would it be possible to make launcher with big icons and new homebutton for our Z Ultra? Could someone do it? .... No root
I have the paid Nova Launcher on my Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra (Nougat 7.0.0) and here is what doesn't work: If phone is locked and a Calendar notification goes off the notification flashes then disappears from home screen so I lose ability to snooze.
Email notifications don't work
Light Flow app for customizing LED for selected contacts.
Went back to the Xperia launcher and all works.
Really disappointed as I used Nova launcher with my Blackberry Priv (Marshmallow) and all of the above worked fine. That's when I bought it.
If anyone can assist in making the above work with Nova I'd be very grateful
