Yep! That's why I always have a second launcher. Just in case. Some reason the other GX launcher wouldn't work on the 28at but would on the 28i. Idk why

Give me some time. I am flashing at firmware right now. Let you know the solution.

On a second thought ... have you deodexed the rom?

Accts confirmed a few days ago that the Home Launcher mod doesn't work on 105fw but works fine on 29fw. It has worked fine on my LT28at with 233 and 29. I have not and probably never will flash any ATT firmware.

All, when referring to your phone and or firmware, please call out your model by LT28at, LT28i or LT28h and your firmware by the rev number. Simply saying it doesn't work on "at" or "i" isn't very helpful and a bit confusing. This little bit of information will avoid several questions/posts when trying to get help troubleshooting.

Even the JB keybord gives error. JB keyboard is very good and has swipe.

Uploading an at&t version without keyboard and xperia home.

does any one have try?

at least for at&t version, there are some very obvious layout and other problems
many useful apps to me such us FIX and others are removed but actually more junk apps to me such as hackers keyboard etc are added
the new status bar is ABSOLUTELY UGLY (sorry i am saying it this way) and its layout is a total mess..
the AOSP ICS lock screen which i really like also has a bad layout while showing music controllers or while playing music

i am not sure whether these issues are just for att ICS 105 firmware or also for generic ICS 29 firmware though
