Based on XPERIA™ Home 2.2.A.0.14 from Sony XPERIA S



Optimized for non-XPERIA devices.
WARNING! Attempts to install this on 2011 and 2012 XPERIA devices with original firmware are not recommended!


Supported screen resolutions:
All possible screen resolutions are supported since rev.9

Modifications:



Configuration menu (Menu button -> Preferences), current features:
- Set number of home screens (1 to 11) and select the default one
- Select between different desktop layouts: Dock bar / Dock bar + 4 corners / 4 corners
- Custom desktop grid and app drawer grid
- Hide applications
- Backup and Restore launcher settings
- Enable/disable automatic screen orientation (if disabled the orientation is always portrait)
- Support for Go Launcher EX, Launcher Pro (Plus) and ADW Launcher icon packs (Preferences -> Appearance -> Icon packs)
- Built-in icon pack with Xperia S icons
- Infinite scrolling on home screen and app drawer
- Others

System Requirements:
Android 2.3 or later.
If you are running ICS or JB I would recommend using my port of the Xperia T launcher (works only on Android 4.0.3+)
- It has more features (only missing feature that is available here is corners)
- It can be installed even on Xperia devices with stock firmware.

Additional Downloads:

Cosmic Flow Live Wallpaper [Screenshots] Does not work on all devices! (OpenGL related)


WARNING:
Updating from 0.9.2b to 0.9.2c may cause a force close! If this happens, application data must be cleared in:
[GingerBread] Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Xperia™ Home -> Clear data
[ICS / JellyBean] Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia™ Home -> Clear data
Also if you backed up your settings in 0.9.2b and you try to restore them after updating to 0.9.2c or later version, this can again cause a force close and some of the settings will not be restored properly!

installed on my defy with CM9. everything went on the right place but no option to choose the launcher. It doesn't even show in homesmack. I really like the screenshots and want to have it on my phone.

For those of you who got the package installing correctly, but nothing shows up, do you guys have previously installed (older) version of the XPERIA Home Launcher or any XPERIA widgets?
You need to uninstall all of these (all apps sharing the name com.sonyericsson.home) prior to installing, I should add this step to the first post.

I'm trying to come up with a version that will work on ICS, but I'm not sure if a Froyo version is possible...

HVGA (MDPI) version is coming soon too ;)
