This will make the launcher home screen 4 (wide) x 5 (high)
It will also make the app drawer 4 (wide) x 6 (high)

Flash using safestrap.
I'm new to modding so let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed or doesn't work right.
ENJOY!
Don't be shy with that Thanks button!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, make sure busybox is installed before flashing. It uses it to mount /system during the flash process.

I was thinking about doing it if someone asked but after seeing how tedious the process is I'm not so sure.
I'm very used to "home" being in the middle, and not at the left end, of the home screens, so I'd really like to try this. But in the event I decided I didn't like it, how would I go back to the stock settings? Is there an "un-install" for this?
Edit - I just realized, having made a nandroid of the stock ROM with Safestrap, I could just restore that to get back to the factory setup on the home screens if I wanted to, right?

Well first of all this has nothing to do with where the home screen is, it just changes the grid size.
As for restoring, just make a backup of /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk and if you want to go back just restore that file through safestrap.
This is just awesome, I was wondering if it is possible to make the icons a little bit bigger, and also wondering if we could have the Google search bar in every screen, like the Google launcher.
Thanks for the nice mod! !!

Thanks for clarifying that, but I immediately saw the first point above for myself. I made the mistake of assuming your modification would bring about every aspect of the picture you showed (in which your main homescreen is centered). Since that was the main reason I was looking at this modification, I decided to switch to Nova Launcher to get that feature. But thanks for the mod, and for answering my questions.
anybody know if this would work and is even needed on Alliance rom ?
If not needed.. how would I enable in Alliance ?

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!

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.

Do you think, that it could be fixed with some coding (i will try ?

So my phone needs to be rooted to replace this HOME.apk?
And by the way, after i install this apk, can the home screen rotate "without" plugged in?
Thanks
This is the New Touchwiz 5.It can be installed as normal APK.
If You want to use Widgets in this launcher,install it as a System APK.

Just a small but useful thread
Had loads of requests for this font and saw everybody downloading 3rd party apps to get it ect.
For those of you that haven't seen the font, it can be seen here - http://www.ffonts.net/Sony-Sketch-EF.font
Look awesome on the phone.
This tricks the phone to think its stock fonts.
Instructions.
Go to settings / display / font style/ and change your font to Samsung Sans
Place zip on SD card and flash through CWM
Reboot
Switch font back to default
Done.

You can flash through stock, vol up and front button, then press power, hold til boot screen, let power go and bingo you can flash. Not as many options as CWM.

Nice work @bender_007, have it on my wife's new AT&T D800 G2 which I received and rooted yesterday and also tried it on my Samsung GS4A, works great! A few observations, on the G2 Recovery goes to TWRP (AutoRec), but on my S4A it goes to stock recovery, probably due to the root implementation along with Safestrap. A final question, is it possible to add a "Download" mode? Thanks again for this app :highfive:

Thanks for the response, on my SGS4A, if you are referring to getting to stock recovery, we press VOL(+)/Home/Power simultaneously until the splash screen just appears and then let go.

Gotcha, well with the root on the SGS4, Safestrap has a boot screen upon reboot to either enter recovery or bypass and boot to system, though due to the root the app itself is broke.

BUT
1. weather isn't working in shelf
2. can't disable search bar
3. Frequently used apps only in 1 line
improvements
1. new quick notes tool in shelf
Conclusion: OOS3 launcher isn't worth to flash
Edit: weather is working now...
Boards in shelf are expendable, more individualisation in home screen possible (icon size, search bar...) so I change my opinion: all is how I expect
