You won't be able to use some of the stock Xperia widgets with this launcher:
ClockWidgets, WeatherWidget, SocialPane-FeedWidget, SocialPane-FriendsWidget, SocialPane-StatusWidget, MusicWidget, NoteWidget, OnOffTools, PhotoWidget, RecentCallsWidget
Modified versions of them that work with the launcher and will not overwrite the stock versions are available bellow (install as normal apps):

OnOffTools - OnOffTools needs to be installed as a system app (push to /system/app and set correct permissions) if you want to toggle GPS and/or NFC with it!
MusicWidget - MusicWidget requires non-Xperia users to install the SemcMusic (Walkman) app from Xperia S / T / V etc. Search for it on XDA-Developers
NoteWidget - NoteWidget requires non-Xperia users to install the SemcNotes app
Change Log:
1.3.7c (Build: 1080) 11.2.2013
- Added: Option to always keep the application in memory (to reduce redraws): Launcher Settings -> GENERAL -> Keep In Memory
- Added: Swipe Up/Down gestures now also work in the App drawer
- Added: ICS: Grid interface (Root method) for adding widgets now also works on devices with x86 CPUs
- Fixed: Status bar was transparent when showing notifications (if the status bar was previously hidden)
- Fixed: Force Close when the application is called from the Swapps application
1.3.7b (Build: 1078) 10.2.2013
- Fixed: Force Close when trying to assign an icon from an icon pack as a custom icon for a shortcut

I am an avid user of your Xperia S launcher and admire like anything. just wishing your good luck ahead . Xperia launchers are my favorite as they are less on RAM.
regards.
ankjain:fingers-crossed:
WOW.. what a great work MAN. hats off. the only thing i hated in previous Xperia S launcher was dock background color which was a nuisance ( allow me to say this as many people wanted a transparent dock) and you DID it Man. 5 ***** . you made my day as this is only using 15 mb ram on my Micromax A90s . i believe that with new editions you will be able to reduce the RAM.

Question and answers
FAQ
Q. Lot of apps don't get categories after the first install or after a restore
A. After the first install, JINA has to go online to search categories for installed apps. Right now this step is not automatic and should be manually started using the "Retrieve app categories" function on the sidebar menu
Q. How can i see app details?
A. From listview you can activate the app detail function either by using the 3 dot button on the app row or by double tapping on the app row. From the gridview (thumbnails) you can double tap the app icon.

Feature Suggestions;
1. Clean white theme
2. Auto switch selected themes according to time for starters. So I could use dark in the evening while tinkering with phone prior to sleep…. But white etc. during the day….

Actually, one about UI....currently i am not a big fan of that Circle obscuring my view...how about moving that switch down, left or down right where there is still space.
Also...in regular keyboard mode, You have a line where U can see the search phrase, but not in T9...U might make that the same for consistencys sake...not sure also If it is needed, since we allready see what we are typing in realtime among results...but could be an extra option?....
Anyhow...that circle with X/magnifying glass could be put in the same row with other icons...IMHO

Yes i agree, me too i feel that in T9 search mode the bottom toolbar is a bit "poor" but what kind of feedback should i give? numbers?
p.s. stay tuned, desktop folders for categories are almost finished

Added Desktop Folders for categories and better App Detail management on tablet layout.

Hmm not many of my apps get a category .. and before I'd assign them myself I'd rather use the Categories I already have from "Folder Organizer" app.
Also I do find that the letterbar is often not responsive and I keep intiating actions I don't want.
About the source filter .. no multiselection is possible and there is no simple reset .. I don't think this is really usable at the moment.
Just some feedback

I meant this…

First, thanks for the feedback, that's why this thread exists
You don't get categories neither if you try to refresh the category in the app detail? If so, can you please tell me a couple of apps that don't get a category?

You are right, i didn't notice there is a conflict with the category sliding tab on the right, i have to fix it.

Ok right again, i'll add an option to reset the source filter. Right now there is only a way to reset all filters by tapping on the action bar title.

Quite nice app and concept. But could really do with icon pack support.

Oh, and I had idea that I'd like the shortcuts to just appear at certain times like when connected to Bluetooth in my car. Then I'd have access to other apps when using satnav etc. But when I start app it opens main app rather than just launching existing shortcuts. Is this possible to do? Thanks.

Thanks for implementing the GPS/Bluetooth switch. Would like to see them toggle on AND off with Bluetooth etc though. And even bigger shortcuts too. And if the app is swept from recents to remove shortcuts, they won't toggle back with GPS etc. So some sort of ongoing service would be a good idea. Please continue development as this has potential!

About
- ON/OFF toggles > thr is system toggles in notification and i don't think it s necessary for floating one However there s limitation for some features like GPS.
- Remove app from Recent > these shortcuts are services depend on app so when u remove the app they should stop too. otherwise lots of app can run service that cause huge battery draining.
- there is 3 sizes for shortcuts. do you mean bigger than 'Big' option?
:good:

I don't mean system toggle. When I tested it, the app would switch on the shortcuts on connection to Bluetooth etc, but wouldn't switch them off on disconnect. I also think the shortcuts should be even bigger than big! I could retest if you send across an apk!

nice with floating shrotcut

Nice App
Very impressed. Really cute application.

cool app dude.

How often weather updates, or how to update manually?
Thanks [emoji106]

Weather info will automatically update every an hour by service provider’s suggestion since their weather data is updated every three-four hours.
In current design, you need to disable and enable floating shortcut again to trigger weather update.
If you have any suggestion, please feel free to let us know. Thanks!
