SE Arc Launcher now with Photo and Video widget

I'd made a SE Arc launcher before and you couldn't use Arc Photo and Video
widget with it but now I made another one and the widget's working. There
are also two digital clock as you can see in the pictures.
Download the attached files.
Put them in your SD card.
Flash "01.zip" through recovery.
Then reboot and install the "PhotoWidget.apk"
The widget should work, if it didn't or you had any problem with
the launcher just use root explorer to delete Home.apk from your
/system/app, but don't uninstall the Photo widget.
After you delete Home.apk, again reboot into recovery and
this time flash "02.zip",
That's it, I hope you like it, if you do just hit the thanks button.

This is Xperia Arc launcher and it wont replace the stock launcher.
This is a system app and you can't install it, so you need to put it in /system/app. I have another version that you can install it but the Photo and video widget doesn't work on it.

Really? That's wierd.
Go to Settings/Application/Manage Application, and find Home, then clear it's
data. If Photo widget is there, do the same thing for it as well and see if it works.

Yeah, you'r right, and I don't know what the problem is, because the APK is in
/system/app. For me, like you said, it just happens when I rebuild it and want to
try it and of course not always, but for someone who hasn't installed it, there
shouldn't be any problem. Also I haven't had any problem when I flash it via
recovery, it only happens sometimes when I push it using explorers.

Yeah, it's possible. For me the photo widget works fine, but since I'm not a developer, I don't know why it's like that for you, sorry, mate.

Xperia launcher with corners!!

This guy modded it to work on any phone with the right resolution, I'm using it right now on my incredible s and it looks awesome so I thought I would share!

that one doesn't look nearly as well done imo.
A single icon isn't supposed to come out of the corner, etc...
This one is perfect.

What is the difference between corners and fast corners?
which one is better?

here's the quote
"What's Fast Corners?
I've made the fade animation when tapping a corner instant so that the corner expanding animation plays more smoothly. Basically this just reduces the number of simultaneous animations going on resulting in less work. Even on my HDPI Samsung Galaxy S this made a slight difference in performance. The tweak is non-trivial and the change is extremely minor but for users with LDPI and MDPI devices this should improve that animation."

I actually tried both, and I recommend fast corners. Seems to look much smoother, though both are awesome

@djkekko89 : Maybe try renaming it to Home.apk and then move to system/app, fix permissions, & reboot. Or uninstall your current Home(have another launcher installed so you can still use your phone) and then try installing normally. Not sure if either will work but it's worth a try...
Remember to back up your current Home.apk as these methods will replace it.

So, bad news. SOMEBODY, spilled something on my laptop and now it won't even boot up. So it may be a while. But what you can do is take a existing xrecovery zip, unzip it with root explorer delete everything except "META-INF" folder, create a new folder named "system", enter that folder and create another folder called "app" and then copy the launcher in there, zip it up using root explorer and you have a xrecovery zip

[APP]Xperia S Home autorotate!!

Check this out! I found a modded xperia s style home apk that can autorotate!!! (it also has a 5x4 app drawer)
Through the XDA news portal I found this Xperia Arc thread which, among other things, contained a home.apk that can autorotate!!
I deleted all other files except the home.apk and flashed it to achotjans semc debrand engine. It works beautifully!
Check for the zip at the bottom!
PS: all credits go to pajoneer for providing the apk! Give him some thanks too!

Thanks pal, added this on my thread with credits for you and pajoneer if you don't mind. Very good!

This app is with bugs.

If you have a 5x4 grid in the appdrawer you won't see the last row in landscape mode.
But i think this could also be changed so that you get a 4x5 grid in landscape mode but i'm not totaly sure if this works

You mean that in landscape mode the page indicator merges with the content? Yes, this is normal. The page indicator also disappears after a few seconds too.
If you are unable to see the fifth row in the app drawer, go to settings>applications>all applications>xperia home, and clear data. This should fix any app drawer problems...
If not, come back and I'll see if I can do something for you!

Have you tried the zip yet? Because you just described exactly what the app drawer does! lol... It's 4 icons wide by 5 icons long in portrait mode, and when you switch to landscape it switches to 5 icons wide by 4 icons long.

Thanks a lotttt .. i have been looking for this launcher landscape from 2 months .. Nice work man .. Thanks Again

Right... I'd like to shed light on that, but I haven't been able to download a fxp rom since they switched to uploaded.to
I'm in the US, so the whole site is blocked. Even proxies from other countries aren't working. If someone can upload the rom I'd be glad to troubleshoot it, although FXP said not to do it so... yeah.

Awesome! Don't forget to thank pajoneer. He's the one behind this, I just reposted!

Great, drawer works as it should once launcher data are erased.
Howewer, it needs Facebook inside Xperia (i guess) - when I try to move some widgets or delete one, it crashes... What a pity
Do you think, that it could be fixed with some coding (i will try ?
Dont want to install back the whole facebook scrap, I am not using it, and it caused lags...

[APP] Android 4.2 Launcher APK

Works on 4.1 AOSP/JB ROMS ONLY
SAMPLE
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Download the Android 4.2 Launcher apk file and transfer it to a convenient location on your phone.
2.If you are using a Nexus Device or running an AOSP /AOKP based stock Android ROM, you need to be rooted. Download Titanium Backup and uninstall your default Android 4.1 launcher. If you are using an OEM customized ROM, like a Touchwiz based or HTC Sense Based ROM, you can skip Step 2 and move on directly to Step 3.
3.Now using a File explorer like ES File Explorer or Astro, navigate to the location where you had transferred the APK file for the Android 4.2 launcher, in Step 1.
4.Install the Launcher apk, and enjoy the default launcher from the upcoming Android 4.2
APK

Welcome relief from TW crashing on my Note2 n7100

After much work, I got it working on my AOKP Swagger (by Frankinstine - link in sig).
What I did:
1. Titanium Backup - Backup Launcher
2. Root Explorer - Copy Android-4.2-Launcher.apk to /system/app, set permissions to rw-r--r--
3. Recovery - Nandroid Backup (Just cause)
4. Root Explorer (just open it, so it's in your recents)
5. Titanium Backup - Uninstall Launcher2
6. Root Explorer - rename "Android-4.2-Launcher.apk" to "Launcher2.apk"
7. Root Explorer - select Launcher2.apk and install it.
8. Titanium Backup - Restore Launcher "Data Only" (widgets do not restore)
9. Reboot
Running fine for me now.

any way to reduce home screens on it? i would like to have only 2 home screens on it? or not possible, yet?

Why is this so hard for all of you? I'm running CM10, I just did
Code:
adb install 4.2_Launcher2_signed.apk
and it installed.

Tanks!

I just copied it to system/app with original name (4.2...) and after - deleted Launcher2.apk. Reboot and voila - it's done. And icons layout saved
