I wanted to share this with everyone. I've been seriously considering getting the new Xperia Z when it's released but wanted to get a feel for how a Sony device is laid out. So after a bit of searching I found this. I've tested everything and it all works perfectly on our Skyrockets. I'm running Mohans Embryo 6.2 and haven't had any issues at all. Just follow the instructions in the OP of each thread carefully and enjoy.
I take no credit for any work, simply sharing. Please, if you flash/install these share what ROM you're using and any issues you encounter. I will not be offering any support since I'm not the developer, direct legitimate issues to their appropriate threads. Thank you.

There really aren't issues since these apps have been built to operate on any system I actually replace trebuchet with Sony launcher on all my ROMs. Walkman app never had a problem and I love their weather widget.

Yeah the weather widget and clock are probably my favorite things about it. I love a simplistic look and Sony really nailed it with their launcher. Everything is so clean. I'm almost sold on the Xperia Z, but the Note 2 is so tempting lol

The z is a real contender in the market unlike all the Sony Ericson phones. Sony has been doing awesome work on their own and I love their entire user interface. The open xperia project has really given the entire modding community some great stuff.

I need a couple beta testers for a set of widgets I'm making. I especially need someone running touchwiz. All the tester needs to do is install the app and let me know what phone they have and which widgets aren't working on their phone. PM me if interested.

There just simple widgets that open up different apps, they just have different looking icons.

not working:

can you explain more about your project? because these widgets are fixed shortcuts only with IOS icons only, which can be done by several ways already available now.
thank you

It's pretty much exactly as it seems, I know its not a super complex app or anything, I'm just beginning to develop so this kind of just like a basic project to get me started.

My phone is Samsung Galaxy SL (i9003) with touchwiz 3.x. Can I test your widgets? Why din't you show the link at the first post?
Found this on another thread here at XDA, it says NOT to use if you are on Xperia phone with Stock ROM, however its reffering to TimeScape and as Verizon is not on Timescape I flashed this and it looks and feels great.... the new UI is really nice... The downer is that its not as featured as the ones listed here for Xplays on 2.3.4+. The new widgets are really cool, notably is the Settings widget...
Anyway here you go....

This is s great find for those still using the Sony home launcher. It looks like a great update to the current version I'm using.
My apologize. We dont recomment it for low performance devices. I actually posted in wrong thread. It supposed to be Xperia Sola thread.
For anyone who has Sony Ericsson XPERIA Sola i recommend to try our new live wallpaper Metaballs HD.
It looks very great and runs extremely fast. Futhemore, it has 24 hours demo mode with full availabe themes and customization options.
Attached screenshots were made on HTC Desire HD with almost the same screensize.
Download from Google Play
For any related information please visit our main thread on xda

What's the reason there is no touchwiz for the NS? Is it just as hard to port it as any other phone regardless of it being samsung?

To be honest. People get the Nexus for the pure vanilla feel. Try Remics roms floating around.

If you want touchwiz, the apk is floating around somewhere. No full ROMs though. If you really really want it I can throw together a zip that adds the launcher and basic TW apps.

Like mentioned above... look for the RemICS ROM floating around these forums... it has a lot of galaxy s 3 features including the tw launcher with the beautiful weather widget...

bcoz touchwiz is terrible and people prefer nexus devices for pure android experience... btw you may try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710681
I rly liked remics before JB came out! The gs3 touchwiz was great!!
because touchwiz sucks.
no really, what touchwiz has more than the stock launcher on ICS? only some little gestures nobody will use, a stripbar in the notification drawer (horrible) and thats it.
yeah TW i terrible, the only thing i really like about TW i weather widget
Touch wiz blows!..haha

Touchwiz 5 isn't that bad. I went with nexus for the simple reason of google making sure the nexus' are a few steps ahead of any other phone as far as software. I don't think I can go back to 4.0.4 for the touchwiz feel because I'm addicted to JB.

That is because this launcher is far from being new. It has been around for nearly a year. I know I had it for a brief day or so in my e4gt but took it out right away... It was not bad, but it just wasn't my cup of tea...
