Just because is a special case, I will write in my language, please, only this time, you guys can understand right? Google Transl. is our frnd xP.

Gregório mermão... pqp! vc me ajudou a me convencer a continuar com essa porra, muito obrigado pelas palavras, e ai, estarei aqui pra qualquer coisa, é só vc me dar um toque, valeu muitíssimo msm!! Não generalizando, mas essa gringada acha q nós daqui entendemos só de samba e bola... pqp!

C'n't ics rom está quase pronta, nos mesmos moldes da anterior, acho q ainda hj a lanço, alguma sugestão?
>> Hahahahaha aee caralho! Pelo menos pra te motivar eu servi pra algo hsuahsua, com palavras de força quero agradecer pelo seu trabalho. Relax véio esse é meu agradecimento, espero poder ajudar assim sempre que necessário. No primeiro email ke trocamos aqui no fórum deu pra ver que como os outros brasileiros que fui encontrando aqui, vc eh firmeza. Eh nem me fala não eh geral mas eh na maior parte do tempo, eh mto chato isso ><.

Sobre a ROM, senti falta no ICS o USB OTG, bem talvez seja uma questão de kernel, mas estou realizando testes com aplicativos e métodos aqui ainda, acredito que seja possível habilitar OTG com os arquivos certos; rootei o meu ICS com o método de downgrade e upgrade, o downgrade eh pra colocar os arquivos no sistema e prepar pro update alterando um xml, acho que é possível colocar os arquivos de root na sua ROM direto, algo parecido com o que eu tinha sugerido pro GB pra não destravar o bootloader. Eu andei vendo uns mods por aqui que habilitaram screenshot, atalhos na barra de status etc bem vc deve ter visto tb aki vai o link de um dos mods: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704226. Eu quero ver que aplicativos vc deixou na rom, pq eu tirei uma porrada de coisa e meu sistema tah normal, ai eu te falo se da pr tirar algo mais. Bem acho ke eh isso são só detalhes, o launcher tb ja foi citado vai ser bom ter. O recovery eu consegui instalar com o CWM Xperia, este app poderia vir com a rom se necessário. E não acho tão bacana o player walkman, desculpa sugerir ele antes no GB, porque o volume fica um pouco mais baixo por causa do equalizador. Ah o efeito de tubo catódico foi tirado tb, eh uma frescurinha que muitos apreciam, mas nau machei uma versão portada. Mas é isso, assim como o launcher que vc fez pro GB e os atalhos e a limpeza na GB limpa e twekada são o ápice do GB, o ICS com os mesmos feitos seria fodão demais. Ah e uma vez vi um cara que fez uma rom, naum pro mini, que o icone stock da bateria também apresentava a % dentro, essa é uma idéia legal, mas tanto faz hasuhsa.

rachei aqui com vc agora! kkkk

advantage to say that I will use your Launcher in my Flush78 ICS version, of course, with due credit! hahahaha ;)

it is there, keep up the good work!
>> hahahahah doidão neh gustavo? hahahahaha tb rachei quando li, fikei feliz xD.

Valeu gustavão... é ou não é, pqp, q raiva q tenho disso, será q a gente é visto assim lá fora, pqp!!!

Gustavo my friend, you can use my work ALWAYS as you want, mod it, change it, you don´t need to ask me for... you´re a great man and do awesome work. Let´s do something better together... we need to get drunk together with our forum friends someday! It would be amazing... :D

i don't understand whether it is a bug or my phones problem?

Once it happened to me. And never the same again. This launcher works flawlessly. This bug is maybe because of less memory available or something like that :)

Well, the only time it happened, i needed to force stop it and the problem never showed up again :D
If you still have this problem, try clearing data of home and home preferences and see if it works :)

I could install this mod.
I like blue mod but not easy to see the battery number.
That's why I'm using blue honeycomb type mod.
Thank you very much

@Serajr......

This is just a suggestion for anyone who having trouble saving their home preferences....perhaps you should add this....

This is your normal Home Preferences.....
screenshot2012062012494.png



This is my suggestion....
screenshot2012062012494.jpg


Where inside it should be like this....
screenshot2012062012505.jpg


Save Xperia™ Home = save all current changes....
Restore Xperia™ Home = reset/clear home data to its default....


so how about it Serajr?????

    Instructions for manual installation on Xperia MDPI devices:

    Before you install it, you must check for two system dependencies, see imgs:

    Dep_1.jpg
    and
    Dep_2.jpg


    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:

    v5_1_permissoes.png


    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... :cool:

    Hi 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.
    Thanks...
    13
    Thanks everyone here supporting this thread, you´re amazing! ;)

    Well, v8 is about to be released with great news, and major one is new ics xperia s home (thanks Till-Kruspe). Not all preferences from gb will be in this release, but in future revisions I will put all of them. So, just wait a day!

    See you soon...
    11
    v1 news:

    - A new thread (versions 1) will be released this weekend with ICS Xperia S Home based launcher
    - All working preferences from v7
    - Fixed all layout issues (portrait and landscape)
    - 100dip stock default row height (no more widgets size issues)
    - Landscape app drawer icons with labels in the right (icon + label)
    - Dock icons/folders with same 48dip size as desktop and app drawer icons (no more distortions)

    I´d like to thank everyone here supporting this mod. Well, I hope you like. See you very soon on new thread !!! ;)
    10
    First sorry for delay... Thanks for everyone here supporting me, you´re cool!

    Well, v7 news:

    - Home will not restart anymore after changing a preference (yes, I remembered you ;))
    - Dock Background Color preference rethought to the match the exact colors of the Cosmic Flow live wallpaper (I´ve decompiled it to get color codes), default grey blur and transparent

    I´m just finishing to compile all versions and soon v7 will be released, so, wait just a few days.

    See some new screenshots, I hope you like them... see you soon my friends !!
