This is the port of the latest Xperia Launcher from the new Xperia Z.
All credits goes to the ThilinaC. Thank her/him in the official topic. (For screenshots, more info)
I've edited the the zip so it can be intalled to our Milestones.
There are a few differences:
- I didn't managed to make the RecentCalls Widget work, so it isn't included in the package
- the wallpapers are included and installed to the sdcard's Picture folder, they can be set as wallpaper from the Gallery
Besides the RecentCalls Widget, everything works fine and fast and looks awesome.
Pretty snappy on both CM9 and CM10. (You can find a little review in THIS thread.)
(SD-EXT IS REQUIRED)
UPDATE2:
New version with ICS Dock and with JB Dock.
Both is modified to have 5x4 app drawer and rotation enabled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
Now its even smoother!!!
After flashing the package above, flash one of these:
- THIS one has a 4x4 app drawer and auto rotation enabled.
- THIS one has a 5x4 app drawer and auto rotation disabled. ( It will switch to landscape mode if you flip out the hardware keyboard. )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD original version
Super smooth and snappy!
My favourite launcher from now. Thanks :good:
Wow, nice :thumbup: gonna give it a go and see how it goes

Hey All!
Here is a new theme I've been working on for a while now. I wanted to get it out to share and for some testing and feedback. As the title implies this is a Blue and Yellow theme for CM7.0.3 on the Moto Droid. It is not ready for the theme engine yet, but that will come once I have finished up all of the apps.
Here is what is themed:
Framework
SystemUI
Browser
Calculator
Calendar Widget
contacts
Desk Clock
News and Weather widget
Google Search boxes
Keyboard
Music
Phone
Settings
There is something that I changed in framework that is causing a few alignment issues and some other visual issues, nothing too terrible though. Also there are a few items in some of the themed apps that I haven't figured out yet. Anyway, hope you enjoy this. Let me know your thoughts.
As always, don't hold me responsible if you screw up your phone. Before flashing this MAKE A BACKUP! Remember this is for CM7.0.3 on the Moto Droid ONLY! I will be putting it on Liquid Gingerbread once I finish up everything. Also, this will not work from within Theme Chooser app. Support for that will be coming in the future.
One other thing, I don't have any app icons themed right now. I have an ADW theme that has them in it that I will be bringing over as I make more progress. If you want the ADW theme, I will post that as well.
Directions:
1) Download
2) BACK UP!
3) Flash VIA Clockwork recovery
4) Enjoy
5) Share thoughts

nice theme....
I am using this theme on cyogenmod 7.1.o nightly(2.3.7) on My Milestone and it is working great,Awesome theme ,Love it. Keep up the good work!

So I updated to 2.3 gingerbread and the Huawei UI thing is just horrible. I would much rather have the stock 2.3 android one.
I tried different themes, but most only change things like lock screen and main dock. But not most menus, the dialer etc.
Is there any way to change those? My dream choice would be an awesome Ice Cream Sandwich theme, but the complete sets seem to be only for CM7 roms.
Edit: I was looking around and it seems like my best option is to get Oxygen and this theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363518 ?
Can I change to Oxygen without formatting everything?
download from market
1. A dialer
2. A launcher
3. A lockscreen
I have a ICS lockscreen and theme for launcher. Basically..
In ICS theme:
* lockscreen
* desktop
* app drawer
Not in ICS theme:
* status bar
* notification window
* dialer
* menus
* volume control
I can't change them all anyway with just apps I think. For example the notification area.
I attached 2 files. 1 is my notifications, the other is a Oxygen. theme by skifyr123
Psst:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423920
I'm a little bit afraid of it as people seem to be having problems.
Why not install CM7/MIUI/Oxygen then?
Well, are there any solid non-buggy versions? I have found themes for both Oxygen and CM7, but there is no official port for CM7 and all of the unoffical ones seem to be having some problems. Same goes for Oxygen which seems to be having problems with the 720p video camera.
Adw launcher ex, launcher pro or go launcher maby? + you can add theme to make all launchers look different I myself prefer adw launcher.

None of them so far have updated the menus themselves. Only dock, app drawer and lock screen basically.

You could try this one.
The theme is great and removes everything that is horrible in the 2.3.5 theme, but do one backup before you try it

When I upgraded to Gingerbread I dropped down to the basic android Gb UI which I liked better than the horrible "beyond the sky" add on they pre installed.
I did this by hitting the menu key then Home Settings, then change theme.
BTW anyone know how to removed the "Beyond the Sky" theme?
Ok guys Apex Launcher has dropped the beta tag and now it is available on Google Play...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmFuZGRvZXMubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
Powerful, fast, and highly customizable home replacement for Android 4.0+.
Apex Launcher helps you create a customized homescreen experience on your Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) device.
Features:
- Customizable homescreen grid size and up to 9 homescreens
- Scrollable dock with up to 7 icons per page and up to 5 pages
- Infinite & elastic scrolling (homescreen, drawer and dock)
- Fancy transition effects (tablet, cube, etc.)
- Hide elements as you want (persistent search bar, status bar, or even the dock)
- Customizable icons and labels for shortcuts and folders
- Choose different folder preview styles and background
- Multiple drawer styles (transparent/opaque, horizontal/vertical, paginated/continuous)

- Lock your desktop to prevent accidental changes
- Enjoy homescreen gestures (pinch, swipe up/down, double tap)
- Backup/restore settings and data
- Optimized for both phones and tablets
- Lots of other customization options!
NOTE: Due to limitations of the Android framework, you won't be able to add widgets from the drawer unless Apex Launcher is installed as a system app (root required). Please read the FAQ for more information.
Tips:
- Pinch the screen to access screen previews (like Exposé or HTC Sense).
- Long press an icon to drag and drop it over another one to create a folder.
- Long press icons/folders on the desktop and choose edit from the popup menu to customize icons and labels.
- Drag, hover, and drop app icons over the delete button at the top of the screen to quickly uninstall apps.
- Long press an app in the hide apps list to quickly launch that app.
- Reboot after installing as system app (root required) to add widgets from the drawer.
Permissions:
- BIND_APPWIDGET: Required to add widgets from the drawer (only if installed as system app).
- CALL_PHONE: Create direct-dial shortcuts on the homescreen.
- EXPAND_STATUS_BAR/SET_WALLPAPER/SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS/VIBRATE: Standard launcher functions.
- INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Check for updates and anonymous usage/error reporting (optional).

Another launcher to choose from.
Will give it a shot soon.

I have installed it successfully as a regular app on my SGS running ICSSGS RC4.2.
Would it create a problem if I make it a system app considering that this is an odexed ROM.?
EDIT: Converted to system app with no issues so far.
System app
How to install as a System app in GNex ?
To be totally honest..
Apex Launcher > Nova Launcher
It has all the tweaks I need and it's probably the most stable ICS based launcher I've used so far.

- 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)

Have you tested?
This launcher has a lot of problems (at least with our device).
Don't have settings, application drawer don't show all application (if you sort in alphabetic sort). I don't now what the problem is but the launcher of the OP is far away better!

There's a lot of negative feedback in the thread.
Better than this is the z Launcher by ra3al, the same user that developed the version that I posted here.
Dispite z Launcher been newest, the version 1.3.4 from xperia T has more functionalities at the moment.

Hi. Everytime I try to use the Xperia keyboard, it keeps on crashing. I don't know if the problem is my phone or your post. My phone is Huawei Ideos X5. Are you using the keyboard for the same device? Thanks.
Yes, I used this keyboard with u8800 for some time with no problems. There Is also an updated version that I use right now, which is even better.. Search for [Jan 24/13] Xperia T/s keyboard for all [swipe] here in xda.
