sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
At best, a widget. Other than that, I don't know of any social launchers.

Exactly!
Facebook launcher is unique in a way that it's only made to improve Facebook experience. Launchers are used to customize home screens.
You have to wait till the 12th for the release then wait a couple of weeks before someone can mod it for GB or someone rips it off and makes an app.
But be warned, Facebook launcher is being criticized for its privacy issues. You rather have zuckerberg look through your stuff then some third party regularberg guy.

I was browsing the General Android Apps and Games section and came across the unofficial Ice Cream Sandwich/2.4 Launcher:
http://syndicateapps.com/ICS/v0.1.0.0/ICS_2.4_Launcher.apk
It is in alpha so refer to the below thread for Q&A.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268003
Working well on the X10 and I gotta say I like it.
Something new to play with so have fun!
Information from Sydicateapps:
"We built this launcher based off the leaked screen shots of 2.4. But unfortunately there is not enough information or leaks about ICS, so you may find the launcher incomplete or empty! BUT don't worry, as more info and screenshots come out we will update the launcher to make it feel more like the real ICS. But in till then, this is maybe as close as you will get!
You may notice in the launcher that some of it feels like Honeycomb, but that is because we built the launcher from our Honeycomb Launcher. We used the Running Apps menu for the launcher since we don't know what the ICS running apps menu really looks like."

It only says that because it is based on sydicateapps' honeycomb launcher.
I haven't tried it out yet but it looks interesting.

I know it's a bit much to ask and probably won't be around for a while, i'm positive there are people interested in it just as much as me as i'm currently "ICS pimping" my phone out but due to my locked boot loader and fastboot not working due to 02 sim lock (and not having the persuasion or the trust to do it via online no offence due to the costs..) i can't get cm7 running and using that ICS theme i was wondering if anyone could make this ?
With widget locker you can mimic the lockscreen now.
Oh i have the wallpapers, the widget locker and using the ICS clone, the default UI sounds , the ringtones and notifications ripped from the Galaxy Nexus, launcher pro icons theme, the google widget and the clock widget, oh and the market update the google music app update and the google+ update from 4.0
i'm getting there lmao
Couldn't you just switch to ADW or Go Launcher and use one of their ICS themes?

no, because i already have that done read my previous comment, i'm talking about a theme the way the Galaxy S II theme got ported to this rom, re-themeing the stock status bar, apps framework, system UI etc.
It's a bit much to ask but i'm sure someone will do it soon enough if they have the interest

Why not try porting the theme yourself you can edit framework and systemui without needing to decompile so shouldnt be too hard
trust me it attempted it before and i ended up bricking my phone, don't ask probz didn't give it correct permissions , being a uni student leaves me little time to focus on things like that 9:00 A.M. and i'm up to my neck in coursework lol.
Hi all been a long time since on xda.

As title states. We all know the Xperia S UI (Full expiernce) has been ported to (almost) all Xperia PLAYs running 2.3.4. However those people running on Verizon are still stuck on 2.3.3 and are unable to flash the Xperia S UI as it causes a bootloop. There are threads that give just the home launcher and about 4 widgets but thats it. I would like to ask how many R800x users would like to see this ported to work on our 2.3.3 Xperia PLAYs? I would love to have it available as its a really slick user expiernce.
SO COUNT ME IN.. Really hope someone can port the XPERIA S UI to the R800x
I think most elements of Xperia S are not working just because of the fact that they were built for 2.3.4 and not 2.3.3. So it might take a lot of work to get the ENTIRE Xperia S spectrum working. I think the Timescape ROM that came out might have been based on the other Xperia's 2.3.3 firmware. I would like to see this in action though!

I realized that it is obviously 2.3.4 specific, and I do realize that there are not nearly as many Xperia PLAY users as there are SIM card based XPLAY users, but still I do hope that some nice indivdual would be willing to port the full experience to the CDMA R800x XPlays so that we too can enjoy the goodies..

When My bootloader Gets Unlocked I will definatly Try To Port it over Until then I have nothing to work from sorry But Near Future!

This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )
thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!
I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

Widgets are working for me. Just not in the ICS style of pulling them from the app drawer, which is not a huge deal for me.

Only if it had lock screen gesture and delete/uninstall apps directly from the app drawer. The two things that won't let me go of the Golauncher.

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***
Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!
Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!
I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.
The jelly bean update is nice.... People don't seem to like the search bar but I think it's cool

Hi all, I was very much surprised to see ICS update on my Atrix 2 in India. Motorola has really done a decent Job on ICS for Atrix 2. Surprise apps like Smart action and beautiful and simple UI.
But I am missing MotoBlur 2.3 UL and Blur Social Netwroking app and Universal Message app. Can can one Rip these apps from 2.3.6 and post here.. Also Weather app.. Thanks in advance
I don't think it's possible to port them, and if it was there is no space left in system partition

Sorry guys, you can't run a 2.3.6 apk on ICS.
And please from now on, post questions in the Q&A forum.

The app "Executive Assistant" is a great way to get all of your email & social apps into one widget if that's what you're looking for. Though I don't use it anymore, it served its purpose well when I was addicted to caring about all that useless crap.
If universal messaging app isn't available on ICS, I am never going to upgrade to it. I use 3-4 email accounts and like to have them all available in one place.
No Universal Messaging app

There is no Universal messaging app, no MotoBlur, No MotoBlur widgets. ICS on Atrix is very simple. Moto Didn't do any tweaks in the UI. Also there is no connected Music player which would sync lyrics automatically. Music player is also very bland..

really looks impressive, has every option that the music player in 2.3.6 had and even few more goodies, give it a try.
Player pro is worth paying for too.

Hi can anyone confirm the following things about atrix 2 on ICS:
1. Does your phone auto rotate to landscape in the app menu as before? My phone auto rotates only in the settings menu,youtube & browser.
2. How do i view all home screens at once? Tapping home button on home screen does not display all the home screens at once (unlike in gb).

I believe these are all launcher-specific options, which may not be part of Holo HD. Since I use Novalauncher Prime, it does in fact rotate the app drawer, and double-tap of home brings up desktop previews. Check your launcher settings and verify these options may or may not exist.
Bottom line, not an OS issue, its a launcher issue.
I am on stock ics launcher. I wanted to clarify these 2 points before trying out nova/holo.

I expected a post about a bricked phone... or a soft bricked phone or something.
But instead this person wants MotoBlur back on ICS and wants it back "urgently". Oh the humanity...
Porting is posssible I think..

I have ripped MotoNav (Network independent GPS) from Milestone XT720 (2.1) and installed in Atrix. It is working very fine except the resolution. I think, 2.3 apps from atrix will work on ICS. I will work on it if I get a phone with 2.3.6 Shortly, I will get Atrix 2 running on 2.3 (My cousin is using it) Will try to extract and install my Atrix ICS
