Hi All, this is a new version of SONY Stock home launcher. It's quite fluid and smooth with some additional options.


I am not sure of the source yet. But it was posted in Xperia S forum and i am sharing it here. Big thanks and credit goes to carlito-lt26i for sharing this resources.

Only for ICS [Tested on Xperia S running stock ICS 4.0.4]
  • You can customize home screen numbers. like 1-3-5 etc.
  • Can create Folder in the app drawer.
  • Adding widget and app shortcuts are different and more smooth.
  • Slightly changed app drawer.
  • To add widget/app/wallpaper/theme you need to pinch the home screen.

So ARC/ARC S owner can try this, if it works on your device. And please do report this thread if this home launcher has been posted already.

How to install

Rename the apk to "Home" and replace in the system\app with proper permission, reboot system and clear data of the "Home"apk.
Make sure to keep backup.​

@danis I don't understand bro. Themes are working fine for me. No FC. Tried all the themes one by one, no problem so far.

btw, I tried it in Stock ICS 4.0.4 on Xperia S. I think it could be device based problem. I haven't tried on ARC S yet.

I'll try to fix some layout stuff for arc/s.
The Launcher looks a little bit messed up, and the new effects makes this launcher kinda blurry, when swiping trough the pages.
The Indicator looks very strange too. Lets see if I can do something today or later ;)

For ma Jan, on your rom doesnt work!! Any suggestions?

    I am agree with Jader. I am sure that it is related with Smali files.
    Anyway in my case changing the xml values did not work, I dont know why, because I can change the duration of the animations. Anyways here is my version with Fixed Button and Smoother Transitions than Metallijim version :p
    Its a flash able zip.

    After download, If you are unable to use it, I prefer you to use ThilinaC's Xperia Z Launcher Port v2.5 > HERE

    Anyway I want to share something with you, no need to create a new topic.
    I downloaded this apk from 1st msg but unable to use it..
    Same steps as this apk or ThilinaC's port;

    If you want to have a better looking apptray, you can try these >

    - Decompile apk and go to \res\values-hdpi\integers.xml and change
    <integer name="apptray_grid_rows">5</integer>
    <integer name="apptray_grid_cols">4</integer>
    \res\values-hdpi\dimens.xml and change
    <dimen name="apptray_cell_width">75.0dip</dimen>
    <dimen name="apptray_cell_height">88.0dip</dimen>
    <dimen name="apptray_portrait_height">450.0dip</dimen>
    <dimen name="apptray_portrait_height_att">450.0dip</dimen>

    This will give you 5x4 apptray.

    - I like this launcher but when we click menu button, apptray_background_color was GRAY which I hate.

    to fix it;
    go to \res\values\colors.xml
    <color name="apptray_background_color">#7f262626</color>

    Choose what you want or use your own code( like GX Home apptray backgrounds) and change with new code.
    Some examples;
    Fully transparent - "#00000000"
    Fully opaque - "#FF000000"
    50% transparent - "#80000000"

    -You can do at least 2 things more..
    go to res\drawable-hdpi folder;

    semc_spinner_ab_default_holo_dark.9 refers to 'sort text bkg'
    home_pane_bg.9 refers to 'bkg of 5x4 apptray'

    e.g; copy desktop_add_pane.9 to pc and rename it to home_pane_bg.9 and move to apk via 7-zip. This will give you transparent bkg on apptray. (check on picture)

    .. If it was useful for you please click thanx button.
    Happy mods!
