Xperia S Home Launcher - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Was just looking through the forums and i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
Its the Xperia S Home Launcher and its pretty sweet. Many of the Xperia widgets are in there too. Its very smooth and it has caused no problems at all. Very easy to install.
And if you're not sure what resolution our screen is, its 480x800 (WVGA)
Enjoy

This is pretty sweet! Thanks for sharing. Is it still in beta?

Nice find, iHelper.
Though I tried it and didn't like it. It has cool animations for drag and drop but:
* folder size is unchangeable.
* widget size is unchangeable.
* shortcuts can't be renamed.
* Experia widgets are supported only on xperia home.
Go launcher has all these features. but it's a nice alternative for Sammy touchwiz.

The apk themes the XDA app, as well as most of the system apps. I just switched to the simple theme on the XDA Premium App and it came out looking like that. The attached Metamorph theme on that thread is brilliant as well. All the animations and system changes are just stunning. I'm using the newest ADW Ex and everything is running smooth and fast. The animations and stuff run alot smoother than I'm used to on my hero, it really adds alot to my phone.
Edit: Here's a little gallery of some screenshots of this theme with adw ex and an adw Honeycomb theme.

You mean you "stole" it. Anyway...pay the devs, get a working app.
I highly recommend getting the Amazon App Store if you haven't already. They give away 1 free app a day. Fancy Widgets was the free one a while back.
Oh so you have paid for everything on your device????

If there's an app I want or need, I buy it. Simple.
Like I said in my other post, though, I do take advantage of the free-app-a-day deal on the Amazon App Store.
if we all stole from the devs why would they keep doing this great work i paid like 15 bucks for spb shell i didnt mind i mean we are using 600 dollar devices but dont want to pay a couple bucks for working apps i personally have paid for all my apps and i very much appreciate all the hard work these devs put into these great apps
Thank a Dev...... Or buy an i phone Ha Ha

SiMi clock absolutely has weather and a battery indicator built in. You can even make the weather and battery parts into seperate widgets.
I use SiMi for my weather since I think its about the most minimal look.

Root Explorers

I just wanted to let everyone know of the new (my favourite) root explorer which is currently in Beta but sporting a lot of fancy features. Coming soon is a holo theme to match this already beautiful app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsInBsLnNvbGlkLmV4cGxvcmVyIl0.
I'm not affiliated with it in any way, would just like to share my findings. For those who don't want to pay up for Root Explorer (even though that app is awesome, I just think this one looks better)

[App] Holo Launcher Beta 6 (Real ICS Launcher for Android 2.2+)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
This is easily the most fully featured and accurate ICS Lauchers released for non-ICS versions of Android to date. Very customizable too.
I've only found two issues with it so far
Desktop Vizualizer will not create custom icons
PhotoContact widget does not work
Yeah I found it while digging around xda. Very good and accurate. Only problem is that it seems kind of laggy, at least compared to go launcher.

Yeah man, had to let the madness die down or I was gonna get myself banned. Not really much going on anyway, except for the new Bullet rom.....which im dying to try out but gotta have the in-call dialer issue fixed first. Other than that, and the Kexec bypass, pretty quiet on the A2 front :/ I'm a flashaholic so im having withdrawls, gonna get an HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S III here within the next month or two, plenty of dev for them!

I am partial to Go launcher myself. Holo is growing on me though. Only things I find wanting are gestures for doc apps (folders are an ok substitute) and ability to scroll vertically in app drawer. It is very snappy and customizable.

I tried really hard to replace Go Launcher with Holo but it's just not happening. Go is faster, more customizable, but the ICS experience is unbeatable with Holo. I know it's still in Beta at the moment so I'll def check back once it sheds the Beta tag.....if I don't already have my SGSIII by then
