Framework
Hello guys,
I'm running an Xperia X10 Mini Pro with Cyanogen. It does not have the Sony Framework, so I have this stupid bug with the non-hidden title-bar. So I tried to decompile my desired home apk, but I encountered a problem. The apk-tool says that a framework file is missing. So my first idea was to download the Android SDK extension X10 from developer.sonymobile.com. But the included framework-res.apk does not seem to be the correct one.
May I ask, where did you guys get the correct framework stuff from? Thanks.
Have a good day

Hi!
I've just tried to modify your launcher to make the launcher 4x5.
In values/integers.xml I've changed
<integer name="apptray_grid_rows">4</integer> to <integer name="apptray_grid_rows">5</integer>
and in the values/dimens.xml file I've changed
<dimen name="apptray_cell_height">92.0dip</dimen> to <dimen name="apptray_cell_height">73.6dip</dimen>
<dimen name="icon_image_height">48.0dip</dimen> to <dimen name="icon_image_height">30.0dip</dimen>
and <dimen name="icon_image_width">48.0dip</dimen> to <dimen name="icon_image_height">30.0dip</dimen>
If I've done these modification in version 3 I could get a properly working version, but not in version 4.
The icons are smaller, but the fifth row never appears. Also the texts under the icons also aren't at the right place. I've tried deleting the cache of Xperia Home, but no success.
I've also included some screenshots of the modified version (the apptray is different, I know):
Please, serajr or anyone else, please take a look at this. Thank you!

Try deleting data of Home.
It would appear in Manage Apps>All as Xperia Home
Great job...
1. To change app tray rows, change integers in values-mdpi folder
2. To change texts under icons, look for these files in layout folder:
desktop_folder_icon.xml
desktop_icon.xml
icon.xml (this is the app tray icon)
stage_folder_icon.xml
stage_icon.xml
and change the <TextView... android:layout_marginTop="51.0dip" to your desired value.
And remember to always clear Xperia Home data after tweaks...
Show the results here, and keep modding !!!

Yes, it´s possible... Go to layout folder and edit icon.xml:Mind to tell me how to remove app name in app drawer (if it's possible)?
<TextView android:textSize="13.0dip"
to
<TextView android:visibility="gone" android:textSize="13.0dip"
I made a test 4x5 version days ago, but I couldn't upload it yet...
But now I have a some time and a good internet connection, so here it is.
It's the modified version of the following one: dock, 5 home screens, auto-rotate.
I also modified the arrangement of the home screens a bit.
Here is a link for all the modifications' guide I've made: LINK

Mmm, this gave me an idea... Bingo! With removing app names, there would... even more space that enables more apps on a page!
Serajr: this launcher needs an Settings page... it just takes too much time to build ALL the versions.
I don't really know if serajr made a working version with the following characteristics:
-NO homescreen indicator
-Dock items WITH labels
-NO widgets errors (overlapping, cuts) EDIT: it has the widget overlapping bug :/
In X8 apps section i've found THIS
serajr, if you want, take a look but this is a xperia arc launcher ics-themed, maybe you can see the code or something
PD: Obviously new Xperia S widgets will not work, as the launcher is based on old versions of the xperia launcher.

Instructions for manual installation on Xperia MDPI devices:
Before you install it, you must check for two system dependencies, see imgs:
and
If you are running the GB 2.3.4 firmware or ICS you should have these files.
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
Clearing predefined system settings xml´s folder for Home.apk:
- Check for this path in your /system: /system/etc/customization/settings/com/sonyericsson/home
- If the /home folder is there, just delete it (only /home) !!!
Now install:
1 - Download choosen attached apk (v7_???_Home.apk) and put it on your sdcard.
2 - Rename it to Home.apk
3 - Download attached v7_HomePreferences.apk and put it on your sdcard.
4 - Rename it to HomePreferences.apk
5 - Using Root Explorer copy both files to /system/ (mount /system as R/W)
6 - Change both files permissions to rw-r--r-- like img:
7 - Long press on Home.apk and select Move
8 - Paste Home.apk on /system/app/ and replace original apk
9 - Long press on HomePreferences.apk and select Move
10 - Paste HomePreferences.apk on /system/app/
11 - Reboot you phone
Important (after reboot)
12 - Go to "Config >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> All", tap on "Xperia Home" and select "Clear Data" (you need to rearrange your widgets)
VERY IMPORTANT
Home.apk and HomePreferences.apk work together and they should be in the /system folder!!
Or simple create a flashable .zip with choosen apk version and flash it on recovery with CWM !
To create your own flashable .zip:
1 - Download attached v7_(Place_Home.apk_Here_Before_Flash)_Update.zip
2 - Download choosen attached apk (v7_???_Home.apk) and put it on your computer
2 - Rename it to Home.apk
3 - Open v7_(Place_Home.apk_Here_Before_Flash)_Update.zip with WinRAR and go to \system\app\ folder
4 - Drag Home.apk from your computer and drop it on \system\app\ WinRAR folder
5 - Close v7_(Place_Home.apk_Here_Before_Flash)_Update.zip file
6 - Ok (rename it if you want)
To do:
- Vietnamese translations
- Hungarian translations
- Chineese translations
- HDPI versions
If you like, press thanks...16Hi everybody, here´s some v8 news:
- ICS Xperia S based Home.apk (thanks Till-Kruspe)
- ICS themed HomePreferences.apk
- Screen indicators free space (to prevent overlaps)
- Dock icons/folders reflections
- 95.0dip desktop rows height
- Xperia Home menu shortcut
- Settings menu shortcut
- 4 rows app drawer (landscape without labels)
- Multiline icons/folders labels (two lines limited)
THIS IS JUST FOR ICS 4.0.4 FW .431
If you wanna test it, get three attached apk´s and push them to /system with proper permissions (see how on first post)
This test Home.apk is auto-rotate by default, and preferences are not working (read-only).
Rename them before push to /system to:
Home.apk
HomeAdd.apk
HomePreferences.apk
Please, report me if any issue is found! Suggestions are wellcome.
