tread is dead ,so sorry
Pertamax gan
but bootloop on r800x
Very nice. Thanks!
Ok, no matter how i move them around, icons refuse to go into the 5th row. The last row remains empty and the icons just keep moving around like before in the 4x4.
Edit: Clearing data for sony ericsson home in settings, applications did the trick.
Now there's another problem. It's a 3 screen home, but if you slide the third screen to the left you can see a music player widget on the 4th screen! Since i can't use this 4th screen, i can't access the widget to delete and hence can't add a music widget on the other 3 screens. Will update if i figure this one out.
Edit2: Here are my findings. When coming from a 4x4 app-drawer launcher, you will need to clear data for SE home in order to properly use this 5x4 launcher. However, clearing data causes the default widgets to be installed in the various screens, which includes the music widget in the 4th screen, which cannot be accessed since this is a 3 homescreen launcher and so you cannot add the music widget to the accessible 3 screens. The only solution i can think of is to install a 4 or 5 screen 5x4 app drawer launcher, then clear data, then delete the widgets from the 4th screen, then install the 3 screen version of the 5x4 launcher. Hope this didn't confuse the $hit out of everyone, but it's as clear as i could put it. I'm now going to try and edit this launcher to make it 5 screens.
Edit3: FIXED! by editing the apk to 5 screens, installing that, clearing data, now you have 5 rows in app drawer and default widgets in homescreens. Delete all widgets and install the 3 screen apk in 1st post.
@w4lkm4n would you mind telling me what's the difference between your mod and the ones in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519742

See this guide.
You need two home apk files, one with 5-screens and one with your final requirement (4/3/2 or 1).
First install the 5-screen one, clear data, delete all widgets from all screens.
Then install the lower screen one. DO NOT clear data now.
Do the Sony Widgets work on your mod launcher???

To answer your question, i don't use many sony widgets, but what i do, like music and data monitor work fine.
Since the OP has closed this thread, maybe you should try some other launcher mod like THIS one.

Previously I've used the ADW launcher but have found every phone I've had become unmanageably slow over time. I've never been able to identify the problem but this time I'm trying to leave as many things stock as I can bear, starting with the launcher.
The default launches seems palatable enough but I can't workout how to resize widgets to fill the width of the screen.
Two of my favorite widgets to have on the home screen are "Fancy Widgets" (a clock/weather widget) and "Agenda Widget" (a calendar widget). Both these programs have several different sized widgets available but neither have widgets that are 5 cells wide. Is there a way to stretch the widget in the default launcher like one can in ADW?
Attached is an example of what my home screen currently looks like.
Thanks,
Slarti.
P.S.
I hope I'm asking this in the correct place.
(I wasn't able to find a Q&A section for G3 themes)
Uh, I've found that after releasing the agenda widget when dragging resize grippers become available on the corners.
This works perfectly to resize Agenda Widget to a 5x2 box.
Unfortunatly this doesn't work for Fancy Widgets.
It should be added as default feature

I think it only works for default apps in the phone.
Hmmmm
You see it's not that big different from app drawer if you don't put widget on it
I never use it my screen is always on app drawer
Well i will use home screen if app drawer have black background
Google play even automatically make icons on home screen for you
I set auto put to home screen off and remove all apps on my home screen afterward
Then i remove widget too i don't see any point of using clock widget if there's already one on my notification
So what's the point of home screen?
Just app drawer duplicated with widget?
btw stock touchwiz launcher

I find it is usefull to quickly access apps whilst not being packed with apps I rarely use
Do whatever you want with it. This is Android, after all, not iOS.
That's what makes us different than IOS Haha
I received a PM asking how to do this after a post I put in the Best Launcher thread so I thought I might share how I've had my phones set up for some time which gives the best of both worlds. Namely Nova as a launcher and Blinkfeed at the touch of a button for news updates and anything else you fancy which it does. I'm unsure if you will be able to do this with another launcher rather than Nova, I've not tried.
Go to this thread and download HTC Home and HTC Servicepack and install them as any other apk file via a file explorer. Don't forget to leave a thanks. The rest of the apk files in that thread are options, I don't use them myself but if you want things like Facebook and weather to work exactly the same as a HTC device then the options are there.
Once they're installed go into Nova settings. Then go to Gestures & Inputs -> Home Button -> Shortcuts -> Activities -> Sense Home -> Sense Home (the one with 'Launcher' written underneath).
You're done. This will set it up so that, when you're on Nova's homescreen, pressing the home button will launch Blinkfeed, pressing it again in Blinkfeed will take you back to Nova. At any other time the home button works as normal. You can also set it up so it works with a gesture instead, although I've always found the home button to be the best way of doing it.
Another thing worth doing, I've set up Greenify to automatically close Blinkfeed on sleep, this ensures it doesn't hog any battery in the background.
Thanks bro. It really helps!
This is great. I had some trouble in that the News Republic app I had installed was interfering with blinkfeed (not surprisingly) and not allowing it to populate. Once I removed NR blinkfeed worked great!
Is Blinkfeed significantly different than Flipboard, which can be installed from the Play Store?
Well this isn't working for me. By selecting the sense home launcher it is only opening the sense home app not blink feed.

Very much so. Blinkfeed is far better. Do a direct comparison and see what I mean.

Blinkfeed is part of that home app, swipe to the left. The easiest way of fixing this is to delete Sense home pages, meaning you end up going directly to the Blinkfeed page. The only downside of this is that the clock will always be at the top.

I've tried many launchers but can't seem to find the one I can setup to my desire. Nova, Apex, Action, Smart, Go, Trebuchet, etc. nothing really seems to give me that. My requirements are very specific :
1. I should be able to get a clean home-screen, no app shortcuts, no widgets, no search bar/button, no dock or App drawer icon even.
2. Three to four gestures needed so that I can bring the app drawer, the phone app and Google Cards.
3. The App Drawer needs to be categorized alphabetically.

( Getting errors while attaching so gave links directly )
In the pictures the 2 drawers are of Trebuchet and Solo. I want the design of the drawer to be like Solo, but I don't like its home screen, I can't remove the search bar or move it or resize it, neither can I remove the dock. The drawer of Trebuchet I find very crammed up.
Nova gave me most of it except the drawer and also Arrow launcher was good but couldn't get a clean home-screen.
So free/paid, any recommendations ????
When I first got the pixel, I seemed to be able to apply wallpapers that would automatically center the wallpaper on my single homescreen. I experimented with some widgets on a second screen for awhile, then I removed the second screen altogether. Now when I go to set any wallpaper, it will center it on what would be the center between two screens (so on the right edge of my screen), but I only have one. Is there any way to set this behavior? It's very annoying to have to manually center wallpapers on my single screen. If I install Nova, I can center the wallpapers no problem using Nova launcher, but I can't seem to do this anymore using the pixel launcher.

Did you remove the blank 2nd home screen the widgets were on?

Yes, mentioned that in the OP. I've removed the second screen with the widgets and icons. I only have a single homescreen right now, long pressing the homescreen only shows the one.
Sorry just saw the widgets were removed not the secondary screen

Ah I see that the wording there was confusing, I just edited it for clarity, Thanks.
You said it centers when applied with Nova right? Can you set it with Nova and then swap back to Pixel or does it automatically adjust when changing the launcher? I deleted the pixel launcher so I can't test.

I can just leave Nova installed, but not use it as the default launcher and I still get the option to use it to set the wallpaper which is a workaround. I'd like to not have to leave Nova installed if I'm not using it though.
