Hey

Any way to get 4x4 on the app drawer? Love this launcher it looks weird with 3x4 imo. I saw the same launcher with 4x4 but it was part of a ROM and had no idea how to extract all the necessary files.

    Here is my Xperia Home FIFTH version for x10 Mini/Pro QVGA (LDPI) devices. It was ripped from Xperia S version 2.2.A.0.14, see image:

    This version is full compatible only with Gingerbread (API Level 10) and Ice Cream Sandwich (API Level 14), but works with some FC on Froyo (API Level 8). It does not work on Eclair (API Level 7).

    Installation instructions for v5.1:

    Before you install it, you must install in your system two dependencies files, see imgs:

    pre_requisites_01.jpg
    and

    For all my X10 mini friends...

    v5 is about to be released, with new functions and some improvements. Everything now will be choosed with a preference screen, like number of home screens, auto-rotation, corners and app drawer transparency, icons with or without labels and some others too...

    Now based version is from Xperia S rom.

    See you later!

    I'm working now for smaller corners (real smaller, not margin trick) and their transparency about 70%. I'll update this soon. I'm gonna try port for 2.1 too. Thanks for replies !
