SlideScreen Pro based ROM anyone?

Starting this week, hopefully, I wanna begin work on a 2.3 ROM for X8 featuring the SlideScreen Pro setup, but improving on a couple things, such as:
1) App interface Clean milky-white interface all around, with classic gray and orange colors. GingerBread (etc) options integrated into SlideScreen style
2) Gmail notifications to main screen Revert Gmail notifications from StatusBar onto main screen
3) Revamping looks, feel, and functionality Improving overall menu-ergonomics, giving it a SlideScreen-MIUI feel and look
Anybody wanting and willing to collaborate is more then welcome.
I'll post some preliminary interface pics after Tuesday, March 6th, since I gotta get a separate laptop running Linux, due to daughter needing play games on the PC . Once I do some basic mods to the SlideScreen interface, I'll test it on GB. Once I get the appropriate performance, I'll post Alpha.

like it
i like slidescreen
i like ur idea
may i give u more idea..
can you make it more ICSish..
ill wait..
maybe i can become the first tester..
#ihope

No sorry not making a rom, was interested initially because I was looking for a good modded version of the launcher fully functional with no fc. I use 1.26 now but I want 2.0 full with no fc in Facebook.

Yes, I got the APK of the Home Launcher of the XPERIA GX. It was made for Sony devices running ICS, I tried to make it work on my SGS3 but I couldn't. The Sony launcher is a master piece of work. It's so beautifull and usefull.
I will donate with paypal to the one that ports XPERIA GX Launcher WORKING with widgets to the S3. I want to stay on Stock ROM and just replace this ****ty touchwiz launcher.

Why not use Xperia Home as launcher.
The one attached works.
But the app drawer is a bit messed out.
Let me try adjusting.
Go on Preferences > App Drawer.
App Drawer Rows = 5.

What about the sms app? The one found on xperia T is simply gorgeous

Walkman already ported, works perfect.
Album already ported, but sometimes (very rarely) work like a crap.

Only this for now

Note: This is work by ra3al.
This is the closest to an Xperia Launcher on the SIII.
Unfortunately it is made on GB (2.3) so it runs in compatibility.
And doesn't support features like Resizing widgets which are specific to ICS.
We're still waiting for a port from Xperia GX

I'm just downloaded apps signed and zipaligned them.
After testing, I'm discovered some apps working without libs, some not. I'll extract libs tomorrow and create cwm zip with them.

Watching this space & hope the porting works (esp Email,SMS etc).
Album works fine here with lib(libalbumframework.so) included. Have been using Home,HomeAdd & WidgetPicker since day 1 instead of TW, only issue is resizing widgets. SemcNotes working perfect paired with Evernote for gmail backup etc. Walkman, no issue at all (with all the its xtra dependecies).
Not my work and thanks go to the XDA community dev for the work...much much appreciate

I'll decompile XPERIA T laucnher tomorrow and check dependies

I seem to remember seeing an option in settings, maybe, about creating a backup zip that would revert any changes you made to their stock defaults. Look in the pimp my rom app.....I'm sure it's there. they all seem to have a fail-safe of sorts these days

Advantages of Firefox OS on Arc S

Dear Arc/S users
Althought we - Arc or Arc S users - use a smart phone that come out only two year ago we can't use our telephone without custom roms, because it is very laggy, and have got lots of bugs notification led etc. with 4.0.4 update. And some users including me have privacy concerns with permission etc.
I want to call attention to advantages Firefox OS on Arc S:
1. First, I saw this video. http://youtu.be/5MzuGWFIfio. In video Firefox Browser that was very laggy on my Arc S with Custom ROM is working awesome without any lag. And the phone in the video has 256 Mb RAM. Think this os how works fast on Arc S.
2. And all Xperia 2011 series except for Arc have a Firefox OS Development Topic. We have a topic too but is not improved yet, and haven't got enought attention. I open this topic for this stuation.
3. Boot in less than 6 seconds even in MDPI devices. (This Xda Topic) (Edit 1: Firefox OS open as fast as 4.0.4 stock dialer. )
4. The small footprint of a browser based operating system means that B2G should significantly extend battery life before re-charging.(This Xda Topic)
5. B2G will be the first mobile OS to use Do Not Track at the operating system level. (This Xda Topic)

Is there a way to do a backup and transfer messages and contacts from android to firefox and return ?

I don't know but I will try this when @n1koola released stabil version.

Quick questions:
On which ROM did you try it?
Did you try it on stock/unlocked/rooted version?
Some screenshots?

Firstly it is looking very nice !
Secondly would it be a big request to port the xperia keyboard ? Or anyone did it before for nexus 5 ?
And also it would be nice if you could make separated zips I mean(only walkman+ addition)(only album+movies) something like this.Of course if you have time and mood for it
Thank you for everything ! :victory:

One thing to add that 'His work can be continued and promoted ' because the rules says that we can't do these if the person was banned but instead he left XDA As is own will get found some social problems and to live peacefully he did so.He will always help us through his friends because he still has the zeal to work for android

Just take out the .apk from the .zip and install. It works fine for Walkman, not sure if Album and Movies need specific frameworks/libs to work, I didn't try.
