Xperia finally updated their launcher!

Hey, so it has been a long long time since I have posted or even ported anything.

Finally, xperia updated the launcher and it was a must port for me.

The launcher should theoretically work on all xperia devices with android Pie (and sony software). I have currently tested it on Xperia XZP. You can also activate pill via an adb command.

Steps

Simply install the apk and then install the wallpaper apk and then reboot

If you want pill, you must use adb with your device.
I will not be explaining how to use adb, there are many guides out there.
But to activate pill simply use this adb command
Code:
adb shell settings put secure swipe_up_to_switch_apps_enabled 1

p.s the launcher will not override sony's built in launcher. But you cannot use Launcher3(Quickstep launcher) with it. The package name is com.android.launcher3.

FOR XPERIA XA2

Devices:
Working :-
Xperia XZ1
Xperia XZP
Xperia XZ2
Xperia XZ3

Not Working :- (Testing needs to be done to get the app working on these, logcats also need to be provided)
Known bugs :-
Split screen causes force closeFixed v1.1
Force Close on rotating Fixed v1.2
More than 1 page in folder FC on rearrange Fixed v1.5
App split shortcut not working

VERSIONS
v1.3 If you plan on using pill with this launcher, this one might be the most stable option for you. Navbar replacement/shortcut apps should work with this as long as this launcher is the default (App close animation had to be slightly altered).

v1.4.1 first of all, both have recents working without pill

v1.4.2 second version has recents working with other launchers, but to do this, i had to remove app opening animation(not the gesture) from the recent, so If this is something you cant live without, go with v1.4.1, but if you wanna use other launchers, then this is the version you want


Hope you all enjoy it as much as i am.

Don't forget thanks button and feel free to donate

Thanks @TakuyaZ for providing the apks from the system dumps (and motivating me ;) )

Lastly, please do not use or repost my work without authorization, as this port was done for me and for a friend, took me at least 8 hours of constant work to get it to work properly and was not as easy and simple as copying from a system dump and uploading it and simply calling it a port.

Oh extremely sorry about that, just noticed your thread as well. If you like I can completely remove this thread. But we both do have completely different things. You have a version which is flashable. This is for non rooted devices and used as normal apps like all my previous ports.

Edit: also as a clarification, the apks were obtained from the xperia 10 system dump.

please close this thread -__-

I am sorry, but may i ask why? I have not seen any ports like these here? this apk also has my signatures, and also many of my various tactics i use inside smali, android manifest, and resources to make the port work without root.

p.s yooo pandemic how you doing man, hvnt seen you in ages

yes, once again completely sorry about that, hence i said sorry in the first place...(Sorry that the text seemed to have came out in the same way, as you can see from my various previous posts i usually write something like that in the end, and after seeing your thread, i have changed the text, if that would make you feel better)

Secondly, I would prefer that you do not steal my days work. Took me atleast 8 hours of constant work to port this, with fixing all the bugs and etc.

There's also no option to "disable" gestures by toggling the swipe up to home button, which should be found in the display settings menu. Will report other crashing with logcats when they occur. :D
Ya thats not home related , maybe someone will port the new settings, but settings you cant port for non root that easily plus xperia 10 probably has a newer settings app than ours so again ours probably wont work

Lol damn, if i'm faster in getting the FTF we might beaten @niaboc79 to the punch for the first new launcher related post XD
Nah man porting takes time :-/

    how can i root my xz2?
    1st - https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
    2nd - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz2/how-to/how-to-root-xz2-probably-xz2c-android-10-t4030775
    (android 10)

    here is my logcat bro i hope it helps
    Thank you so much. Ofc it helps (gonna check it out) :good:
    Maybe today I may fresh install my xz2 and keep it unrooted, in order to try fixing all the remaining issues!

    Edit. Got launcher working on my unrooted XZ2. Stay tunned!

    Edit 2. Attached below is the working Xperia 5 Launcher for non-rooted android 10 devices (XZ2/C/P and XZ3 - Sony stock firmware ONLY), as well the proper WallpaperPicker.apk (11/12/13/... in the apk's title means the quantity of fixes I've made on it)!
    But I can't get the two buttons and/or gestural modes working (commands >> here <<)! Maybe someone could help on this.

    If you face any other fc/issue, please, do report with the "how to reproduce the issue" and the proper logcat, otherwise I cannot help out!

    Some reports are welcome, please do that!
    Enjoy it.

    @Sahaab
    I ported the Xperia 5 android Q (10) launcher to work on non-rooted devices, but I couldn't get the gestures (pill) to work. Did you change anything in the sources (smali) to make the pill work?
    In addition, I got the launcher working on my XZ1 running Android Pie (9) - distinct apk version.
    I may share the apks later, if I get everything working.

    With root, it's easy to make it work, as you can see here (My exposed module will be released soon).

    Tia!

    Update
    v1.3

    - Can launch recents via other apps (e.g some shortcut manager or nav bar apps, etc)
    - Recents launch from other launchers does not FC anymore, and it opens up, but clicking on a recent says that App isnt available, so other launcher support still not there

    I myself have noticed the split screen bug, i will fix it tomorrow
