Xperia Z Launcher for ICS/JB - Nexus S Themes and Apps

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102397
Found this the other day and thought I'd share it here. I'm currently using it on stock 4.1.2 (de-odexed) with no problems. IMO it's much smoother than any previous Xperia-based launchers.
All credit goes to ThilinaC for his amazing work!

It works fine for me. Although when I first flashed it I did have to reboot once or twice to get some of the widgets to work.

Might have to give this a shot

I flash it, it works ok, but the Theme function isn't work well.

some apps are missing, I have tried to clear data in app settings but no luck. I would have to constantly change between different views, like most recent or alphabetical, to find the apps. Anyone know how to fix it?

May I know how to remove this?

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the sony apps.
You don't need to uninstall to switch launchers... settings > apps > all apps > home.apk(?) > clear defaults.

Try flashing the HDPI app drawer fix, and then clear the app data for Xperia Home.

That fix worked, I thought I had a different issue so I ignored that part when I was searching for it. Thanks

1. Why uninstall? Never uninstall system apps if not sure it will work. There are apps that can freeze apps, then simply unfreeze if needed. Titanium backup can do this and much more like backup.
2. Don't know, never used launcher pro, xperia launcher are the best Imo
3. Choose yes to use wifi, and use an app to set it to use in eg Europe, Japan or wherever....search in xda for like gps faster fix.
As for 1 there's also a list on the web stating which system apps can be deleted or not. You risk fc and apps mot working properly as they depend on another, easy freezy are also an app to use for freezing apps
Easiest for you would be to install a custom rom, you need clockwork mod recovery and root then. Pm me if you need a guide
Thanks for the sugestion now i have reinstalled messaging app and disable it using root app delete
Now want one more thing to ask
Can i freeze the system app like
Lg home(i am using launcher pro)
Browser (using dolphin)
Hidden menu-use it very rarely
Rsstarter- don't know what is this for !!
Plz reply
Thanks once again

I'd advice you to keep from freezing / uninstalling apps if you don't know what they're for. It's not like you will get a huge performance improvement if you delete these, so I'd let them be.
You can freeze the LG launcher (or uninstall it if you want) as long as you have another launcher installed. This is required, otherwise you're in for disaster.
Thanks for a very quick reply
Just wanted to say after freezing some of the apps that i donf use i got a very good ram space and i feel that my device is now working much faster
Now what about freezing browser and lge hidden menu
And yeah what is rsstarter ??
thanks

It's for the Remote Screen service. If you don't use it, you don't need rsstarter. I removed it with no evident side effects.
BTW, thanks to SuperSkill I learned something new -- I didn't understand before what exactly "freezing" meant...
Thanks freezed it successfully..!
and yeah +1 to superskill from mr as well

Just flashed a custom 4.2.2 N7 rom and sure enough, it's there - interesting enough, it's showing up also on my HTC DI2 running GingerBread (custom rom written over a year ago,) no prompt or option to cancel/postpone or decline, just auto-updated (except that it did not have the Location & Search sub-menu like the N7)
Suffice to say - easily integrated without crashing or freezing, enhancement across the board for all Google devices ... I think. :highfive:
The icon looks very unattractive. Now my app drawer has 3 similar icons side by side that are blue (Google Search), green (Google Settings), and red (Google+)
Hhmm, I don't have it. Dirty AOKP. I'll reboot and see
..
OK, after reboot it's there.
Now my Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1.2 rooted got this...
It came with recent update of Google Play

Yeah, it's for the new Google+ sign-in. You will be able to sign into apps with your Google account once devs integrate it.

[Q] blinkfeed not showing topics and services

i just reflashed a sense rom and now Blinkfeed is not showing up topics and services . i had this issue before , i know wiping the system will fix it . but just wondering if just wiping sense launcher in titanium will be enough ? anyone fixed it without a full wipe?
All I have ever heard of is unselected all services completely. Then add 1 and see if it works. If it does, then add all the rest.

Clean restarts??

Hi guys I have a completely stock att atrix hd and I'm having a weird issue... If I place a widget from the play store( tried many) or a live wallpaper they seem to work just fine...until I reboot. After reboot its as if nothing was ever there...its not like a fresh boot but just the widget and live wallpaper are gone...but if I use the built in ones they will stick..any help would be great..
Things I've done is a factory reset and also changed sdcards not that I think that could be it...

Do wipe data from recovery mode

Factory reset does format data...again remember its all stock so no CWM so I'll I really have is factory reset.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Are the widgets/live wallpapers "Paid" apps, or Free apps?
Because there's a bug in 4.1.1 where paid apps don't get loaded at boot time, and it probably affects widgets, too. I have to deal with it with Swiftkey, where every time I reboot it's no longer selected as my default keyboard app. So after every reboot, I have to re-enable it and re-select it as my default keyboard.
May be the same bug is affecting your widgets.
Looks like the bug you suggested... Well I took the plunge and unlocked it rooted and put stable cm 10.1 and no more problem....

CM11 Note 3 and Gear Manager

I was wondering if anybody has a note three and install the new CM 11 and I was wondering how gear manager in the features work. Like notifications
sent from my Note 3 or Galaxy Gear
Non will work ... It needs TW Framework I hope someone can built a hybrid that allows full noti's on the Gear...
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Iv experimented with this a little.
The strange thing is there's absolutely no activity when notifications are received on the phone using CM11 in regards to pushing to the gear. No errors nothing !
The APK used to detect if a notification comes in installed no problem.. its quite strange.
Yes @fOmey I have also experimented with it the only ones I could not get installed by titanium backup from a TouchWiz rom was the apk for s voice and weather. Also I got a few force closes after I reboot but it runs pretty fine I was actually surprised it was as easy as a titanium backup

you can download the seperate apk from the gear manager to install them individually. This way you should be able to get everything to work on a custom rom. NOTE weather and media controller DOESNT install in my experience so these features will not work

I did the same as you, I even had a load of tests with frameworks and whatever. I'm no advanced android developer, but afaik, isn't possible to make this work without the whole thing together, unless someone makes the touchwiz framework works in some AOSP rom.
