This time its the Xperia Z leaked launcher fully ported and working good in Touchwiz roms.Should work fine in AOSP roms too but not tested me yet,but respond from community so far is great !

Note - Pinch zoom out to go to settings menu in homescreen & remember this is an oem launcher so there won't be huge customization settings like launchers in Google Play.So please stop asking where is settings coz you have been answered more than dozen times in this thread already !

Note 2 - For devices like Galaxy Note,Nexus 4 if things don't fit well then try using 340dpi

Note 3 -
V4.00 boot looped on my old Xperia Neo V running ICS,so v4 might boot loop in your device too if you are using ICS.Works fine in Jelly Bean ! So if it boot loop in your ICS device use v3.5 =)

For anyone that wants unread gmail count,unread message count or ,missed call count in top of app icon on their non Sony device with latest Xperia Launcher now it is possible with the Xperia unread app by ra3al I highly recommend this app to anyone who was looking for that feature !

Original Sony apps such as "Messaging" (SMS app), "Phone" (Calls app) and "Email" (email client) show unread counts. (When there is new call/sms/email they send a specific message to the launcher and this causes the launcher to show the respective unread count).All other non-Sony third party apps (such as: Gmail, K-9 Mail, Samsung stock apps for SMS, Calls, Email, as well as all other 3rd party apps do not send this specific message to the launcher, so the launcher won't show the unread counter for them).What this app does is it send these messages to the launcher on behalf of these non-Sony apps.

And yes it will work with any Xperia Z launcher port or mod It works on all Android 4.0+ devices (all ROMs are supported).
All SMS and Calls (Phone) apps are supported, including stock apps from all OEMs.
Check out the attached screenshot above using the same launcher mod in this thread.


Get the app from,




Credits
  • iiandskater for porting it to xperia mdpi cm builds
  • doomlord for Xperia T Jelly bean leak
  • Sony Dev's for the app
  • Jonfensu for hdpi fix
  • my friend serajr for help with Auto rotation
  • hush66 for Xperia Z dump
  • Villain theme for theme system

And as always Please No mirrors,respect my decision !
I do this work for free & for my enjoyment, and I don't expect any money for this. So if you like my work, feel free to .This encourage me to do more work

DONATE TO ME
Doesn't work on VZW Galaxy Nexus running AOSPA 4.2.1. Cant add system app's (Phone,Mms,etc..) to the dock. Also cant add wallpapers and so on...

UPDATE...
Version 2 still doesn't work, although i could add system app's to the dock (at time's) it took mulitiple touch action's to even open the app. Also it has a huge amount of lag. I guess this just isn't for my phone but, Thanks for your work!
