Please explain further.
Are you talking about the Honeycomb statusbar?

The bar on the bottom of the home screen where you press the image of the phone to call and the globe to open the internet ETC..

It's called the dock.

That is called the 'Dockbar'
And the basic launcher on the R800x already has one ^_^
If you want the one shown on other Xperia devices, then you need to download the launcher from said device.

You don't need root to install .apk files.
You can do an adb install from your computer, or push it to your phone and install using any file manager (ex; Astro, Root Explorer)
Sent from my R800x

You don't even need to sideload to get more icons on your dock. Just search for "launcherpro" or "go launcher ex" in the market. There are alot of other launchers too! They can add alot of new features and such and dont require root.

Know what? I had the same problem too. I deleted ADW launcher and then the Arc one worked. If you have ADW installed, uninstall it. If you aren't in those circumstances, then I have no idea

I don't know but don't waste your money by uninstalling it if you have bought it.
P.S. All the Arc launchers I've tried are SO laggy. Better stay with LP.

The Launcher should be the same. the difference is the pro has a hardware keyboard that when slid out acts as the trigger to flip landscape. The launcher has the functionality to show landscape, we've seen it with HDMI or on models with hardware keyboard and I've heard reports of people with livedock working (for me doing OTG keyboard/mouse it stays portrait).
I had just hoped he managed to hack it or something, but I'm skeptical until we get at least some proof of concept, even if it's buggy.
Show us a youtube video of phone going landscape without hdmi or post a buggy hack.

<Minor thread necromancy>
I found this thread whilst looking if anyone had hacked the stock Xperia ray launcher to support landscape mode and thought I'd report this
All you need is an app to force landscape, and the SE launcher will happily switch orientation. There are two on the market that both seem to work fine:
Orientation Control (Paid)
Ultimate Rotation Control (Free 7 day trial, then paid)
Not sure if there are any free apps that do the same, but I was happy to pay for the first one as it does the job.

Or AntTek App Manager, free.
You can natively freeze them with ICS, in your app drawer (stock TW Launcher) drag the app icon to app info, and click disable
I removed them. No need to freeze if your plan on not using them. Free up internal space.

From your app drawer, click and hold on the program you want, and it should take you to your home screen....at the top you should see "App Info". Drag the app icon onto that and it'll display the info you need.

hrmm...maybe it's because I haven't had my morning tequila shot yet but I don't see any such app info icon when I do what you're saying. I go to the app drawer, click and hold an app, it takes me to the home screen, but there's nothing anywhere that says app info.
Could this be something that's not on the ATT version of the phone?

I had to uninstall updates and then disable became an option.
Using the app info method works great if you are not rooted.
In the event you are rooted, using TB is easier. both work without any issues for all listed apps in the op.

No sir. You can do this with most of the pre-installed carrier software. I believe the option is "disable". When you see it you'll know what I mean. In fact it was the one thing that made me think that I wouldn't have to root my phone. Then I quickly got annoyed by the T-Mobile startup and shut down sounds. Can someone please tell T-Mobile to leave the standard start up and shut down sequence alone. I mean expect that from Verizon; Have you heard any of their phones start up? They're crazy obnoxious.
Great feature! You can also go to settings-applications-all and do or that way. Just uninstall updates and then you will have the disable button. Thanks for the top all.
