Just Updated 2nd Post with Themed Version.. Hope it works for all

@sinkster thanks for Screen Shots... If u could showw app Drawer 5x4 and desktpp 5x4, I can add the screen shot in 2nd Post...:)

transparent widgets is a seperate Mod ... will do that later some time... You can install one of the Trasparent themes and flash my Soon to be available transparent Mod on top of it...;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] WillihAngga:
Can you make it (5x4) for ray too ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
More screens, with themed mod 5*4 7 homes

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Doesnt it work on Ray..? try it.. Base file is of Ray... its reported to be working on .62 so probably work on that..

thanks for screenies...arent the icons overlapping the app drawer? I guess I have to move the application drawer Icon a little lower or make grid smaller in height.. thats easy though..:)

Btw.. u missed app drawer screen shot..;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Seems awesome. Tried. But not working. Even launcher not showing. :-(

Xperia Arc S

Rooted stock rom (.62)

Locked bl.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] WillihAngga:
Failed, stuck at SE logo
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Yeah, home icon needs moved further down or workspace reduced in length. App drawer especially:

Whereas before I cleared the data the 4*4 was obviously ok;

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DevilPaky:
Can you make a default version whit 3 home ??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Here is again a Test Version.. Hopefully app grid is fixed and should be flashable by all

Black Corners, Faster, 7 Home screens..4x5 grid...

Give some feedback...:)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Home layout is better but still same issue with app drawer. tbh, 5*4 home is fine, app drawer @ 4*4 is fine. Thanks again anyway.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Thanks for testing.. I am leaving 4x4 app grid.. will find a solution to it.. I could have done more today if I had my Xperia Ray in Hand but its coming back on Sunday night.. Will improve further then...

btw.. you didnt feel any change in performance? and Color of Arcs? is it the same?

I am attaching Final test Build with 4x4 Drawer, 5x4 Desktop and 7 Home screens... If its still buggy then forget it.. Next modding w will be on Manday then...;)

But do let me know how this one goes...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Home grid is now ideal:

though corners now cause overlap colouring when opened, no matter which one or what's on screen:

Appreciate the work ;-)

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Thanks for Screenshots.. it really helped... The icons on desktop went a little high IMO.. you still think its in best position? I can lower it a little more....and app Drawer fine now?

I can make pure Black Corners with themed ones...

Once u approve I will upload this version with default and theme icons till I get my toy..:)

btw... Is it snappier or No noticeable change?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Like you say, on your last work the bottom row is a bit high. Plus it would compromise some stock widgets, the cell height seems lower. App drawer is fine, a translucent black background would be ideal. The home is fast though, very nice.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Just Uploaded the Default and Themed Version in 2nd Post...

@Sinkster.. thanks for the help... You got the Transparent Corners as u wished.. ;) (included in Themed version too)..didnt test though.....

Do me a favor, do share some screenshots, so I can update in OP

Have fun...:)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
Just to update you on Play compatibility. The 5x4 grid works fine apart from when you open a circle.. The screen goes red. See the picture.

Can I install on my ray ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Thanks for the Quick pick:eek:... Just fixed... Let me know if there is any other error..:)

Yes you can... its now based on .62 fw... I would doubt that it wont work.. try both, themed and Default..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] abrarabbu:
Request:

Please make a launcher same as in 2012 phones ie S & ion

no corners please...

just same as in 2012 phones
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Screens from your most recent upload:

You'll find that with this homescreen grid setup that some widgets will appear distorted as there's no correction by the SEhome. Jacob Wind had a similar issue so I've used his widgets... Good work.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
You can install this Xperia S Launcher if you really want it...Just install as regular apk..

I couldnt find any good reason for installing that coz it only provides a different theme.. other than that its same as other Xperia Phones...:-/

I can enable Corners on that but you dont need it so you already got what u need..:)

Thanks for screenies...

Answer me 2 questions..

1)In your previous post (post 58)... If u can remind that if that configuration had same widget distortion or not?

2) Widget distortion only occurs in SE widgets or in Non SE widgets too?

I will TRY to fix it by moving pagination up and App drawer icon down when i get my Ray.. cant keep posting test versions ;)...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Crocodile1973:
themed or default 7 screen 5x4 just stalls at boot screen. lights come on, but nothing else, using .42 firmware, bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] WillihAngga:
Like my ray, please fix it, thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
There is so much of variation... I am confused....:confused:..

Can you guys just Clear data, Cahce of Home.apk OR wipe delvik chace and uninstall previous home.apk with titanium backup before flashing? If that works out then I will include the Delete apk, cache , wipe cache script in the zip...

But install any other launcher from market as a backup before doing so...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Crocodile1973:
tried clearing dalvik cache but still the same, will try clearing the home data and let you know
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Emrul:
Tried. Still not working. Tried by cleaning data & delvic caches. Same result. :-(

Xperia Arc S

Rooted .62 stock rom, Bootloader locked.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
It doesn't show up in titanium backup at all, so clearing cache is not an option.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Dont worry guys, Will fix it on Monday when I grab my Ray...

You guys can Try Signing the application if you know how to... If that doesnt help then use 4x4 Grid till I get it to work for all...;)

:)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Sorry I didn't answer earlier, I was replacing the fascia on my Arc and somehow managed to f*ck up my external speaker, been trying to remedy it but it's a board issue...

In reply, the 1st 5*4 homes were fine proportion-wise whereas the later ones with the bottom of the home raised above the home button had the distortion. Most widgets(eg the Google search bar) will resize their border and compact their content, but se widgets don't as they're only designed for a 4*4 SE resolution screen.

How about some transparency in Corners and perfectly aligned 5x4 app grid?...;)

Some more screens with se widgets by cx-11;

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Nice Setup.. Looks great...

The fifth row i made just to have full 3 rows that shouldn't hide corners... You can use SE Favorites and call log widgets without hiding any corner.

.You shouldn't place any icon shortcuts in fifth row.. i wish i could fix that app drawer icon overlapping but it's not possible... Just ignore it...;)

I tried first on .42 and then flashed .62 to confirm working on both and it worked without issues...

I am sorry i can't figure out a solution to something i can't reproduce...:(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lgumo01:
coul you share your wallpaper?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
Just reflashed 42, still no go.

I'll have a look when I update to a newer fw.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
On Arc s .62 - the same problem - after flash - as if there's no home app. I tried the transparent with 3-5 home screens.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Can you guys fix permissions... ?

Do one thing, after flashing the zip go to system/app and set permissions of Home.apk to r-r-rw or exact like the other apps in that folder... You can do it via Root explorer or Free 'Xplore' from market..

Attaching the wallpaper who asked for it..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
My first try was with manual replacing the home.apk and giving the same permissions as the original home.apk had. Tries with r-r-rw also - it's not there.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
Not an issue with permissions, they are correct.

hi jjdoctor

i had brightness setting on notification bar before , but for some problem , i've flashed my x-play to SE stock 2.3.4 ( same as before )

but i don't know why , all your theme's features working , except brightness option on status bar ?! :(

that option is not on my status bar anymore :(

please help me
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
The test file just gave error of all the widgets in go launcher ex.

About the FIX file - I don't think the facebook proxy jar file could be the problem. I don't even have anything related to FB anymore.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
My MOD is Not related to Any THEMES, Settings, status bar Mods etc..... It is just Xperia Stock launcher Mod... There must be some other reason for your problem... Nothing to do with my Mod...;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
I have found the bug but cant find the solution...

Home.apk is very much linked with Facebook ... Just give it a go..

I can partially resolve your issue by giving you stock settings(stock grid and 5 HS) with Transparent corner and transparent theme but cant give u 5x4 grid...

Its due to the Styles.xml.. If I mod it, your phone wont recognize the apk, if I leave it like that, it wont Recompile...

So Here it is, give it a go...TEST2

Btw.. Can you flash the Non-Transparent Corners 5x4 grid without issues?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lgumo01:
BubbleTapClickSound.zip - there`s no file

could you attach it.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Ah .. dont know where did it vanish.. Its now Fixed..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
Flashed Xperia_DEFAULT_4Corners_5x4Grid_7Homes_jjdoctor - doesn't work. I tested almost everything - nothing with 5x4 grid works. And it sucks, cause this is the most cool part :mad:

2) Transparent THEMED with Transparent Corners, 4x4 Grid, 5 Homes

THANK´S for try to help us.

it possible you put the transparent themed 4x4 grid whith 7 homes?????than you.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
If you can flash 5x4 app drawer and 7 Home screens from jacobwind Thread then I can get a work around for you... otherwise I cant edit grid and No of Homescreens as it renders it useless for you ppl..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
Yup, I tried his ICS, 100% transparent 5 screens mod and it works like charm.(5x4)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
If you were lucky then this test might work for you otherwise Testb2 will follow...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
TEST b2 please ;)

It installed and works, 5 rows in app drawer, but I don't think they are five on the home - I can actually put an icon somewhere between the trashcan and the corner, but this is not a real fifth row, I guess. At least, not the same as in this shot -

The other guy's mod that I tested has some problems - I can't load "pure grid calendar widget" correctly and in app drawer it's 4 rows.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
That mod compressed widgets, especially se ones.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
So Finally it works, thats a relief.. :).. The bug was very strange .. dont know why it caused problems in some Phones and not in others...:-/

Regarding Home 5x4.. Its a partial 5x4 for Home which I intentionally made it like this coz then you have to use resized widgets ...

Secondly, the main aim was to have an extra space on Lower right/left 4th row that doesnt hide corners... In 4x4 grid you cant place icons in 4th row at corners as it hides the corners' which was funtion inherited from Xperia Minis but with partial 5x4 Home you can fully utilize 4th ro without hiding corners. :)...

So let it be like this...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
On the shot I attache seems different, but anyway, thanks again for the good work.

What was the bug, if it's not a secret?

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

A second try to install testb1, after trying again the other 5x4 mod and again it doesn't work... Very very very strange.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Nothing secret... I just deleted schemas in stagestub.xml..

When you flash the Mod, always clear Data of Sony Home from Application manager....

Let me know if it worked again so that I keep that test as Model working for all...

What pisses me is that I have to fix the bug in all zips.. thats a lot of work...:o
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
I can't make it work again - it's missing in apps and I can't clear the data.

Really strange.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
try Deleting the Home.apk using Root explorer from system/app and then Delete Data/Data/com.sonyericsson.home folder and Reflash the testb1.zip... if not then wipe cache etc etc..

You saw it work and then you saw it vanish... Maybe now problem lies at your end in your phone...

Keep trying, make it work somehow and share with us how you did it...;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
Don't even have that folder. Wiped cache, flashed - nothing... Pure s*it :D

Edit - tried everything, every possible combination of flashing. No success.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Do one thing.. Flash a working Launcher from jacobwind thread or any other modded launcher that works for you.. Arrange the icons a bit by adding some shortcuts and folders so that it makes up some data cache then on top of that Flash Testb1.zip...

Uploading final Beta for you in short while till you test the above method.... hope this time it works
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sinkster:
Just a thought, but you should create a cwm bundle for the launcher and your themed widgets.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Whats a "cmw" bundle?...You mean package with this Mod?... .. I have stopped working on that.. they dont match transparency....:p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
So How many of you want their Dock back and retain the Top Corners with same trasparency Theme?..;)

.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bo6o:
Didn't work that way either. Just f*cked up the widgets in go launcher...

Edit - the above idea looks nice, but the thing I don't like in the stock launcher is the HUGE unused space between the dock icons and the first row above. And the dock is HUGE too. It's a shame for that big screen to use the space in such an ugly way.

In Go launcher, I use smaller icons and sometimes 5x5 or 5x4 grid. Looks way better.

Btw.. why do u need 5x4 Desktop? I am telling, you are not gonna like it.. There are already 2 Corners for you now where u can put 4 applications so consider those as 2 more rows on Desktop..;)
