Is there any good launchers?

I have a rooted xperia play. Im kinda bored of the UI of Xperia Home (the current launcher for me) since theres no cool effects or transitions when switching between homescreens or browsing through the menu. Ive tried regina launcher and go launcher. I liked go launcher although the some of the widgets i used in xperia home arent compatible with go launcher. And just to have a clock on the homescreen I had to download a clock widget from go launcher when I already have one! So is there anyway good UI which is compatible widgets that I am currently using in Xperia Home and also has transitions/effects when swiping through the homescreens and menu?

The stock Widgets wont work on other launchers

AFAIK, all (most) the Xperia widgets are built into the Xperia launcher so they won't work with any other launcher.
There are loads of different launchers out there. Some I have tried and some I have not (I am on ICS myself now and using Trebuchet from CM9).
Try these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher
This was my favourite when I was on Gingerbread. I bought the pro version of it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.tikuwarez.launcher3
Windows 7 style launcher. Actually looks quite nice. Never tried it though.
Others with high rating -

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ddna.balancer.launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neomtel.mxhome <- this one looks neat
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nemustech.launcher

Try sslauncher. For me it's the best.

If transitions and 3d effects are what you are looking for then you will like it.

Well I personally use Holo Launcher:

Its lightweight with a fair amount of customization

Why don't you guys try the TSF launcher, someone stated the best launcher in android ever, I'm using it now. Make me feel buying a brand new phone. Everyone has complained their original launcher should try.

[Q] Home Screen wallpaper scrolling

As I've never seen Sony Xperia J and its launcher before so let me ask a simple Q of a friend of mine.
How can he turn wallpaper scrolling off?
• Sony Xperia J
• ROM: ICS, no more information available
• Xperia Home Luncher
• A.A.25.3.1
If I made a wrong topic don't shot at me pleas . Its my first topic too.

Scrolling can only be turned off using a third party app like wallpaper wizardii

Sure it's the only way to turn scrolling off?

Mine for the time being!
Nova
HD Widgets+Colourform
Dashclock widget

I'm using nova as well. What bugs me is that, if you don't use the stock launcher, you lose the transparency on the status bar and navbar.

Go to nova settings -> view and style and check the transparency option

you can also use xposed framework and a module called "tweakbox" to do that.

Indeed this option is working for Z as you mentioned but it doesn't work in Z1 and ZU.

Heres a screen shot of my xperia z1 came Tuesday just gone, I prefer bold and clean look

I normally spend a lot of time on my lockscreen and always use Nova Prime, but this time I decided to dedicate my lockscreen to my 2 day yr old son
After receiving both my Z1 and my son on the same day it seemed natural.

I believe that's Dashclock, search for it on the market with any Android device running Android 4.2 or higher.
