The "Top Contacts" widgets from the OP does not work for me on the Nexus 4 even if I push to system/apps +permissions+owner. Is there an alternative app or replacement?

Also Google Market "Play - My Library/Music" appears on the screen but it won't show any of my albums.

Just wondering, but how is a flashable zip easier? It just causes more issues if you flash it on a rom that does't like it.

2.0.5 is now uploaded

download link is the same as 2.0.4 - just go to the first post

Changes:

- Fixed: Force Close after device reboot

- Fixed: Random Force Close when the application is running in the background

- Fixed: Posibility of Force Close on pinch in/out (HTC HD2, possibly other devices too)

- Fixed: "Keep application in memory" not always switching from ON to OFF and vice versa

- Added: An option to select color for the color filter for: ClockWidgets, MusicWidget and OnOffTools (Launcher Settings -> APPEARANCE -> Xperia™ Advanced Widgets Color Filter)

- Changed: App drawer button image is changed for LDPI

I'll try to answer your questions tomorrow. It's 4AM here and I feel like my head is going to explode :eek:

OK I'll make one, but only the OnOffTools widgets needs to be installed as a system app (and this is only if you want to switch GPS and NFC with it)

The launcher and all other widgets can be simply installed as normal apps.

How to put some app in a folder on homescreen

Thx

[Android Apps and Games] gregbradley:
Many thanks, this is close to perfect.

A couple of words ont he widgets

Walkman and weather widget do not resize. I have a 5x5 desktop and although it allows me to extend the screen area they take up they remain visible at 4x1 without using the extra column.

Also the top contact widget produces a FC on the launcher. Both on 5x5 and 4x4

Finally, any chance of timescape widgets?

[Android Apps and Games] TopperBG:
Just put two (at least) on your home screen, drag one to another and they will form your new folder.

Walkman and Weather are resizeable true, but you must restart Launcher after resize (trough setting of Launcher for exmpl)

At least on my LT18i that way they works.

TopContact not FC for me, but also not works anyway.

For Timescape I'm waiting too :)

The reason the dev made the widgets available for download, in the first post!!, is that not all the original Xperia widgets work with this launcher (as clearly mentioned)!

Not even the Xperia T widgets (I checked on my T).

So check out the first post for the widget links, if the widget you want to use is listed there; download it ;)

Lovely launcher Works perfect on pureHD rom. Thanks buddy
[Android Apps and Games] Kashban:
Sorry to double post this, but it's true for this version of the launcher too:

Resizable Widgets are not supported as of Android 4.1 standard. Such Widgets running on Android 4.1+ should able to determine their new size and redraw their content accordingly.

One Widget doing so on quite extreme levels is my 1st Picture Calendar THD. Try it on standard launchers or Nova, Go and ADW, Atom, running 4.1+, it'll work. Every resize step redraws the Widget with new text sizes and probably a layout change.

On Sony's launcher it won't. The launcher simply fails to send the widget provider a message with the changed AppWidgetOptions, it doesn't even inform the Widget Provider a resize has been made. Even after manually updating the Widget by entering and leaving it's config app the widget size is incorrectly reported to Update Service.

This bug or, missing feature might come from the fact that the Sony launcher was created for Android 4.0.x, where informing widgets about the new size after resizing didn't take place either.

If this isn't fixed under JellyBean I'm urged to check for this launcher running from my config app and warn the user about it. Otherwise I'll risk getting bad ratings for my app while the launcher is responsible. Unfortunately there is no way of falling back to fixed sized widgets, which I provide for any device below Jelly Bean.

So the combination of Android 4.1/2 and this launcher is a bad thing from the view of a widget developer. Unless Sony comes up with an update for Jelly Bean adding this.

If you happen by chance to point me to a true JB-Version of that launcher, I'm eager to check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] ngyurov:
Hello!

First of all - gorgeous launcher, great work.

I do however have a problem with it. I am using Samsung Galaxy S(i9000) and I find the launcher unusable on ANY CM10.1 based ROM. I tried with some AOKP ROMs and the launcher worked fine, so I'd imagine it has to do something with CM. Anyway, the problem I found(both existent in 2.0.4 and 2.0.5) is that the dock is inactive. By inactive, I mean that I can only add icons to it, and literally nothing else. I can not remove icons, I can not start applications from it(excluding the app drawer, which works fine). Whenever I try to remove an icon from the dock and I long press the icon, the Add to desktop menu pops up, and that's it. There is no way for me to remove or rearrange any icons on the dock.

As I said, this bug only occurs on CM 10.1 based ROMs, with others, it works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] RivaultUser:
lots of customization!!!!! LOVE IT MAN!
[Android Apps and Games] palkia171993:
Ver 2.0.5 bring positive experience for sure, however I still get some problem with the widget:

First, top contact widget constantly cause force close whenever I swipe to the homescreen with that widget and stay like for 3 seconds,it would be fine if I just swipe over that page immediately but that would all mean I cannot use that widget.

Second, music widget got the name of the songs misaligned. You can see it in the screenshot (the picture in the middle was the correct one.)

Correction: It's probably not misaligned. It just doesn't display the artist name which still need to be fixed too.

Third, one of the clock widget doesn't show the number correctly, wasn't it supposed to show the date and alarm time?

Finally, since note widget jelly bean doesn't work on ICS yet, I edit the note ICS widget to have the same background as jellybean one, however I don't know why it cannot be installed as normal app, but when I push it into the system, it still work.I put mine in the attachment. Perhaps you may want to remake it yourself.

The transition when entering or exit appdrawer seem a little slow, I think it should be increase.

For positive point: some widget like weather widget almost cause no lag now, first time for me. I don't even have to install on/off widget as system app and it works just fine. The problem with some icon in the appdrawer occasionally get unpressable after 4 - 5 swipe get quite better, now it only occurs after I swipe around appdrawer like 20 times, the speed still drop though. Most of the time the launcher is very smooth as always. I hope theme chooser for sony phone will come back soon. Keep up your good work.:good:

[Android Apps and Games] sinholueiro:
Re: [APP][4.0.3+] Advanced Xperia Z Launcher | 2.0.5 | 13.Mar.2013

There's a problem with the layout of the launcher. The original launcher in a configuration of 4x4 has a little space between the widgets zone and the bar of the botton. This laucher hasn't this clear space, so the widgets are oversized. This problem is really annoying for me, but the launcher is really good, in fact.

There's another problem with the Walkman widget. I share some screenshots to compare between launchers. The first is an original port and the second is this custom version:

[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Such a sick Launcher! Loving every minute of it.

Was going to ask if the dock could will ever be modified to support 7 apps but there is an option to remove the dock and add a app drawer shortcut. So I am happy. Does look kind of funny having when lowering the DPIs and having 5 small icons on the dock. No worries though. I am more concerned with the "Play - My Library/Music" widget and the "Top Contacts" widget not working. Has anyone been able to get either of them to work. I tried pushing the Top Contacts app and setting permissions/owner/reboot but still causes the launcher to FC if I navigate to the homepage with that widget.

Oh and the overlapping widgets options of course.

[Android Apps and Games] ra3al:
about the widgets being taller than in the stock Xperia Z launcher:

OK guys, I am going to add an option to have empty space above and below the actual desktop grid (in order to make it possible to have not so tall widgets).

I saw Nova has this option ;)

The original laucnher has a predefined cell size. (which leads to: no support for custom DPI and no support for screen resolutions like the one in Nexus 7, Nexus 4, etc and no support of user-definable grid size)

This one tries to take advantage of all the space the display has to offer and divides the available space according to the number of cells and rows the user has defined. (this add support for custom DPI and screen resolutions not found on Sony devices)

--------------------------

about the Walkman / MusicWidget:

I saw that in my version the artist name is invisible (transparent) and that's what makes it look like the text is right-aligned.

I will fix this today.

about the Top Contacts widget:

Yes, it is not working!

Does somebody know whether the stock version of this widget is a stand-alone app or it requires another app to work? I need this information in order to fix the widget. Currently trying to find it myself...

Awesome job, working great on my xperia Z.

However, there is one problem.

Widgets dont seem to resize properly.

I changed the grid icon size, so it 5 icons wide instead of 4.

However, the walkman widget will always stay 4 icons wide, even when i resize it. I think it would look much better if the widget is as width as the screen!

Please let me know if this can be fixed!

EDIT: NVM, worked perfect after restart. Now the launcher is officially perfect!!!!

The only thing that has been said by other, custom map icons would be nice :) i always love to use minimalistic text icon instead map icon.
