Yes it is working with widgets Posted in OP.tested on s2 and canvas 2
[Android Apps and Games] demonicangell™:
does it wowrk with the widget posted in OP ?
[Android Apps and Games] ra3al:
Is the lag noticeable mostly in the App drawer? There is a problem with it - if your number of columns in the app drawer grid is more than 4, the lag increases significantly.

Sony did not design this widget with resizability in mind and that is why it does not look good when resized. The only way it would be usable in sizes larger than 4x1 in portrait mode would be to make the album art image fixed size (currently it gets bigger each time increase the size of the widget and not enough space remains for the other elements of the widget). In landscape mode, because there is more space horizontally, even when the album art image gets bigger, there is enough space for the other elements of the widget.

I guess I should have never enabled resizability for the normally unresizable Xperia widgets in the first place, instead of creating false expectations for the users :)

Guys, what devices are you experiencing this problem on?

When implementing the behavior, I followed the official Android development documentation and I have never experienced this on any of the devices devices I have tested it on.

The only logical answer for this would be that your devices' manufacturers decided to not handle screen orientation changes and settings according to Google's official Android specifications.

It is possible for me to add an option for Force-Portrait and/or Force-Landscape orientation, but there is no guarantee it will be supported by your devices. Can you tell me if at least the auto rotation in the launcher is disabled when you disable it in System Settings -> Display?
[Android Apps and Games] miqz:
when i locked rotation on system settings -> display..anything works and not rotate except this launcher

and when i enabled auto rotate in system settings everything rotate when i landscape / potrait my device..

btw this thing only happens on version 2.0.5b..on previous build i never had this problem

i'm running 4.2.2 with galaxy nexus

thanks for your respond

Re: [APP][4.0.3+] Advanced Xperia Z Launcher | 2.0.5b | 14.Mar.2013

ra3al thanks for such a great launcher. As far as lag is concerned it is totally dependent on rom. I do not see any lags on my single core Inspire 4G CM10.1 rom whereas i see some lags on galaxy nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] j@cks:
Hi ra3a,

First of all, thank you for your great work!,

I'm using it in my Galaxy S3 and works just great!. I don't know if this is a feature but when you hit the menu key on home screen the settings menu appear perfectly with all the options needed but my query is, once you select for instance system settings and finish whatever you need to work on, you hit the back key and it returns to the previous screen (menu settings), may be better if after hitting back key just return to home screen? I mean with the settings options closed ...

Thanks again for your great work.

Regards

[Android Apps and Games] DIXES:
Yes, it is. Is that a bug in current version or it just needs a higher hardware spec?

And another problem in the App drawer, the someone app icon will be stuck sometimes then it cant be pressed,

the solution is pressing menu or changing page then go back, that stuck icon will be normal.

Hi!Is it possible to port dock bar of 2.0.x in 1.3.x?

:D
[Android Apps and Games] gu5t3r:
Hi ra3al.

I optimized your apk with APK-Multi-Tool using compression level 2, and that gave me closest size to yours 2.17MB.

Then I uncompressed resources.arsc within the apk and zipaligned again. Got a 2.8MB apk.

It seems that apk has faster response when trying to open launcher settings or adding widgets, maybe it placebo but can you check into it?

Many latest apks have uncompressed resources.arsc, maybe that is the trick?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I am sad to inform you that I cannot afford to continue working on this project. It takes way too much of my time (around 2000 hours of work for the past 6 months) and there are almost no donations. I will focus on finding a job and writing my Master thesis instead. I had plans for making a paid version with additional functionality, but I'm not sure how legal that would be.

I also wanted to fix all problems currently present in 2.0.5b, but I don't see this happening any time soon.

However, expect to see 2.0.6 with at least some of the problems fixed ;)

I would like to thank all of you for your comments, support and suggestions and I wish you all the best!

Re: [APP][4.0.3+] Advanced Xperia Z Launcher | 2.0.5b | 14.Mar.2013

He would have to talk with Sony.

While launchers like apex and nova are based on the stock nexus launcher, they use open source stuff. However, while android is open source, this launcher is not, so modifying it and then trying to sell it is tricky.
[Android Apps and Games] shanp7780:
Re: [APP][4.0.3+] Advanced Xperia Z Launcher | 2.0.5b | 14.Mar.2013

Take Sony elements out sale it as super customizable launcher then sale Sony part as an themable add on. can't lose that way as there are all kinds of sony like themes and mods out there. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

The best thing for him would be to show Sony what he made of their launchers, maybe they offer him a job...
[Android Apps and Games] bsined:
It's not about "Sony elements". The core of the launcher's code was written by Sony and distributed along with hardware under a specific end-user license. Even extracting the APK and posting it here can be a violation of that license.

Sony's engineers are already reading these forums and if they find the OP's skills needed, they'll contact him. However, Sony also has a notorious IP legal team that can care less about the skills because technically this launcher and this thread are a violation of their copyrights. So, hopefully, the OP won't end up like Samy Kamkar and MySpace.

OP, sorry to sound so grim but Sony and their everlasting persecution of IP infringements are too notorious. On the positive side, if they really had a problem with you, they would have served you with a Cease & Desist letter already and filed a DMCA complaint with XDA.

I very seriously doubt any of that plenty mods get hacked from one device to another. besides when people create themes example Sony themes there likeness/images are present so it's same thing if they were watching they would of put a stop to all these xperia launchers themes etc. etc. it's all good

[Android Apps and Games] bsined:
There are several legal tests to determine the severity of copyright infringement. Plenty of cases are civil matters (i.e. the owner may or may not file a suit against the infringing party). However, gaining financial benefit from the infringement (i.e. selling the new software) can also end being a criminal matter with fines paid to both the owner and the state, prison time, and other punishments.

The fact that no modders have been persecuted to date means only that their activity falls under the civil matter and that device manufacturers and software developers don't see any benefit in suing them (either to protect their good names or to get some financial retribution for their actions).

[Android Apps and Games] pcpepik:
Yeah, some wallpaper pickers are not showing in that launcher (like CM or PA ones), but you can still can use them from settings. For this View attachment 1828383 you will need to put some wallpapers (jpg or png) with any root capable explorer under

/system/etc/customization/content/com/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers/

Their width should be double of the screen resolution´s width and their height should be the same as screen resolution´s height, so if you have i.e. 320x480 screen, then the wallpapers needs to be 640x480. For every wallpaper you will have to make one copy for preview, resize it to ca 213x189 and add "_small" to its name (without quotes), so you will have two files i.e. "wall.png" and "wall_small.png". Their permissions have to be set to 644 (-rw-r--r--). Then they should show up in the launcher. For use them in other launchers you will have to install wallpaperpicker.apk from attachment.

This is amazing thanks so much - the only extra thing i would love to see for this is to be able to change transitions in the App drawer and on the home screens. I'm not really a fan of the 3D effects and would just love a simple silky smooth slide option!

Oh and not sure if its a bug - but when i've hidden the dock - it re-appears after locking / unlocking - would love it if it was permanently hidden until i perform the gesture to show it - the status bar remains hidden as expected.
