I found the function "share" when I took a long-press on the homescreen icons.

But it didn't work. Is it a bug,or just a problem on my device?

No, you're not only the one ;) I think it's a Sony rom's feature, which is not implemented in the launcher

well it works on my s2. but only some apps/icons works and some doesnt. AFAIK widgets do not work but i tried "3g watchdog" and it worked.

Weird. I installed it and it works great but when I rebooted, it reverted back to .8

Installed in not rooted Galaxy S3 and it appear to be working fine for the most part. Few points I found to be troubling:
1. Scrollable widgets are not really scrollable (at least at first but then appear to scroll just fine)
2. Cannot resize any widget
3. Static wallpaper option does not work – or works sometime
4. Looping screens and app drawer get confused when going from first to last (or last to first) screens. Is there a way to disable lopping?
Thanks-

Has development died on this. I did realize there is a newish (more like updated) launcher with the Xperia T, but that isn't out yet.

    - It can be installed even on Xperia devices with stock firmware.

    Will there be a possibility to resize widgets? This is the only thing that stop me from using this as default launcher (always using 5x7 grid)

    That option will come later..

    0.9.1 is now available. Changes:
    - Added possibility to Backup and Restore launcher settings (widgets cannot be restored due to Android limitation)
    - Added support for Launcher Pro (Plus) and ADW Launcher icon packs
    - Added built-in icon pack. Included icons from Xperia S: Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Phone, Contacts, Email, Gallery, Messaging, Music, Settings
    - Enabled infinite scrolling on the desktop and the app drawer (currently cannot be disabled)
    - Slightly increased desktop usable space for widgets / shortcuts / folders (+10.0 dp)
    - Automatically close an open folder, when a shortcut in it is clicked


    Icon pack selection: Preferences -> Appearance -> Icon Pack

    Can you port those widgets for this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345601 ? For 360 Launcher
    As mentioned numerous times, it's not possible.

    I can confirm I am actively working on porting the ICS/JB variant of the Xperia launcher and adding extra features. The port is based on the latest available version (present in the latest firmware of Xperia T).

    I can confirm I implemented the ability to resize all widgets (the non-modified (Sony) versions only support resizing widgets that are declared as resizable). I am also adding some small additional features currently unavailable in the GB version such as: enable/disable showing titles of shorcuts and folders on the desktop, etc.

    I expect to finish it in about a week or so from now.

    Cheers :)

    Hi guys, two days ago I started working on porting the ICS version of the Xperia launcher (from Xperia T) and adding settings, of course.
    It will be easily installable on both Xperia and non-Xperia devices.
    On devices with ICS/JB the new version seems to be smoother than the old GB version.
