[APP][2.2+] NEWEST Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Launcher & Widgets

When I was thinking on what device I should buy, I vacillated between the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active and the Defy+. I liked the UI of the Active, but I decided to buy the Defy. However I determined myself I'll use the Active's Launcher, no matter what.
I know there's a lot of Xperia Arc Launcher out there (same as the Active's), but all is the same version (2.0.A.0.22) and all was modified somehow what I don't need. So, I decided to port the newest Launcher without any major modifications. I grabbed the latest firmware of the Xperia Arc (4.0.2.A.0.62), and torn it to pieces. Disassembled the Launcher and modified it to work on any WVGA (480x854) resolution Android devices. And when I was in there, in the firmware, I extracted some of the widgets too.
The Launcher (Ver: 2.1.A.0.10):
The Launcher is not modified. I only changed some settings to make the corners appears on this resolution and corrected the alignings. So, it has 4x4 appdrawer and 5 pages, like the original. You can modify these settings if you unpack the apk and change some values in some xml files. I'll make a Howto to it soon.
This is only tested on WVGA (480x854) device. If you want to try it out or it's not working on your resolution, I'll glad to help.
There's two way to install it:
With simple installation, by running the apk. After that, you need to copy the 2 other files to \system, otherwise the "Share" option will not work and you'll face with FCs. You'll need root to do that and you need to reboot after copied the files!!!
With the Update.zip from the bootloader.
Widgets:
2 kind of Digital Clock widgets
Media widget
2 kind of Switch widgets
Calendar widget
Favourites and Call Log widget
World Clock widget
Downloads:
Launcher - installer
Launcher - Update.zip - Updated (17.04.2012)
Widgets
Theres' some widgets I could not make to work:
Photos and Videos widget
Music widget
Weather widget
The Theme Selector of the Launcher
I made The Photos and Videos widget installable, but it's not usable, because it has some problems with the Advanced Widget Framework of the Launcher. Someone needs to check it. It's inside the apk of the Launcher (\smali\com\sonyericsson\advancedwidget\framework\).
The Music and the Weather widgets are not installable. I could not figure out the problem. I could not start the Theme Selector of the Launcher either. The needed files are in the compressed file too. If someone has a little bit of free time and the necessary knowledge, it's possible to make it work.

Now I'll show you how you can modify the corners. These lines can be found in smali\com\sonyericsson\cornerbutton\CornerButton.smali file.
The closed radius of the corners
.line 215
new-instance v2, Lcom/sonyericsson/cornerbutton/CornerButtonArc;
const/16 v3, 0x60
The expanded radius of the corners.
The important part is with red. If you reach "ff" at the first column, you can use the second. So, you can set the second column from 0 to 1, and you can start over with the first one from 0. (I hope it's understandable. )

If you've done with the settings, repack the apk with APKTool, then sign it with SignAPk. After that, try it out.

The Timescape is one of the Advanced Widgets too, so first, we need to correct out the AdvWidget Framework in the Launcher.

That calendar widget looks great. Is there any way to get it to work on another launcher? When I install it on FTL Launcher Pro I can add it to my screen but it shows no appointments.

I think it's somehow linked to the Launcher, like the GO Widgets to the Go Launcher.

I have tried the method, compiled successfully.
But after installing/comping to system with correct permission and than restart, laucher not found

Galaxy Fit modding.The dockbar

Hello,
I'm on stock 2.3.6 rooted. I started manually editing/modifying my galaxy fit. Now I want to edit the dockbar of stock 2.3.6. I really hate that semi-transparency of the dockbar of the main screen. So far I managed to edit the dockbar of the app drawer, but can't find the .png of the MAIN SCREEN DOCKBAR BACKGROUND. Also, I can't figure out(if i find it) how to make it 100% transparent.
Can someone help me out with this??Which .png(from Touchwiz30Launcher.apk/res/drawable-Idpi) is it?
Edit: Ok,so I found it, but i can't make it full transparent.If i edit the .png, I can only give it a full color
If i try to edit the coresponding XML file, I don't know what to put in there.
"TouchWiz30Launcher.apk\res\drawable\homescreen_menu_mainmenu_icon_bg.xml" : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

just replace @color/menu_background_transparent with @color/transparent
if you don't have a transparent color in your app go to /res/values/colors.xml and add this line:
<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

Thanks a lot. I already made it transparent. I just went on a online photoeditor site and edited the image KEEPING its transparency, made full transparent and voilla!
The thing is that the windows editor wouldn't keep transparency of the png's(or I don't know how to do it).

Any way to shrink the icons ?

I love the new Nexus 5 but the icons are a bit to big for my taste on the new launcher.
Is it possible to shrink the icons on the homescreen / app drawer ? 5x5 would also be nice.

Install a different launcher like Appex,Nova where you can change the icon size etc or root the phone and lower the DPI in build.prop.

You could install a widget like multicon. Works really good on my S3.

Mods Collection for Note 3 Lollipop

Please note I am not responsible for anything bad happening to your device in case you mess something up. I have done everything written in this thread myself. But if you do not recompile the APK properly you might have to restore. So backup first.
I have made some modifications in my SystemUI and I am posting them here in case any of you might want those as well.
1. Remove S-Finder Bar from Notification Panel
Although I have seen another post on how to do that, but that method does not work right, the notification panel animation gets messed up that way.
To remove S-Finder Bar,
Simply go to system/build.prop and change
ro.product.name=xxx
to
ro.product.name=vzw
and thats it. Just restart and it will be gone.
As a side effect you will get permanent data icon even when using wifi. But it can be fixed if you want to.
Decompile SystemUI.apk and change the following files in res/drawable-xxhdpi to 1x1 transparent pngs.
i) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_disabled
ii) All the files starting with stat_sys_data_connected_disabled
And thats it. Recompile the APK and push into the system.
Now you have S Finder Bar gone with no side effect data icon.
2. Make the Recent Apps background fully transparent.
To do this, you need to go to res/values/colors.xml and look for the following line
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">
and put the following value there instead of the one written there
<color name="recents_panel_background_color">#33000000</color>
I have it set to nearly full transparent just like stock android but you can change it if you want.
Now to make the buttons background transparent as well go to drawables.xml in the same folder and look for the line
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">
change its value to
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">#00000000</item>
and recompile/push into system and you are done.
3. Change the color of default Black status bar.
The entire look of lollipop is white and majority of non material design apps are white as well, so I have changed the default color of my status bar to grey instead of black. It matches well with legacy apps like root explorer as I use the white theme. Plus it looks amazing with Chrome.
To change the color of the status bar to your liking go to res/values/colors.xml in decompiled SystemUI and look for
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">
now the value in this line can be changed to the hex color of your choice.
If you want to set it the same as the one in screenshot. Change it to
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">#ff9a9a9a</color>
4. To make the clock center
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ide-lollipop-clock-center-status-bar-t2989179
5. To Clear the space taken by Clear All Button in notification center (Thanks to tkari4)
When you pull down notification center there is wasted space on bottom taken by clear all button specially in Landscape mode.
you can attain that space.
NOTE: Clear all button will still work but there will be no text. You just press in the space of clear button and it will clear all.
open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and set these to 0.0dip
<dimen name="close_handle_height">34.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="close_handle_underlap">34.0dip</dimen>
recompile and push in system
I have also hidden the Semi Transparent Status Bar in stock launcher and made it fully transparent. I can post it too if someone wants that.
I have also changed status bar icons to stock lollipop and modified the lockscreen to look like stock lollipop.
Reply if you want any of those.
I am here to help further if needed.

change its value to
<item type="drawable" name="recents_item_button_background">#00000000</item>
and recompile/push into system and you are done.
3. Change the color of default Black status bar.
The entire look of lollipop is white and majority of non material design apps are white as well, so I have changed the default color of my status bar to grey instead of black. It matches well with legacy apps like root explorer as I use the white theme. Plus it looks amazing with Chrome.
To change the color of the status bar to your liking go to res/values/colors.xml in decompiled SystemUI and look for
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">
now the value in this line can be changed to the hex color of your choice.
If you want to set it the same as the one in screenshot. Change it to
<color name="system_bar_background_opaque">#ff9a9a9a</color>
4. To make the clock center

5. To Clear the space taken by Clear All Button in notification center (Thanks to tkari4)
When you pull down notification center there is wasted space on bottom taken by clear all button specially in Landscape mode.
you can attain that space.
NOTE: Clear all button will still work but there will be no text. You just press in the space of clear button and it will clear all.
open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and set these to 0.0dip
<dimen name="close_handle_height">34.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="close_handle_underlap">34.0dip</dimen>
recompile and push in system

Oh you meant label
No in poco launcher there's no way to hide labels
Only way is to change to a custom launcher like nova launcher which I generally use since it gives tons of customisations

I created an overlay apk that sets to transparent the icons' label on the homescreen, following this https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials...runtime-resource-overlay-framework--cms-29708
In pratice it replaces the following lines in /res/values/styles.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="WorkspaceIconTitle">
<item name="android:textSize">1sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#00000000</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#00000000</item>
</style>
<style name="WorkspaceIconTitle.dark">
<item name="android:textColor">#00000000</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#00000000</item>
</style>
</resources>
You must place the attached .apk in /system/vendor/overlay that is read-only if you are not root.
Reboot and it should do its job.
Tested and working on a Xiaomi Mi 9 running Poco Launcher v. 2.7.4.38 on Android 10

I rewrote the apk because number in badges were not showing

Now it only overlays the text size property with 1 dp size, that is so small you should not even see the label (if you watch closely and have a contrasting background you could see a small line)
