From XperiaBlog:
A new Sony Xperia home launcher has leaked. It updates the stock home launcher from version 4.0.3.A.0.9 (at least on our Xperia S) to version 5.1.S.0.0. Changes include a new graphic for the dock at the bottom of the handset, as well as for the app drawer. It also moves the tray options to the left and includes a search bar to the right. We also now get the option to have a maximum of seven home screens, instead of five.
There is also a new way to install widgets, apps, wallpapers and themes. This comes up when you long press an empty space on the home screen. When you click to install a new theme, wallpaper etc you will see the options for these at the bottom of the handset. Another subtle change we noticed is a new screen transition when moving from one home screen to the next.

In addition to that, you can have folder in the app drawer too! This is really useful in my opinion, it is a feature i always wanted.

You can download it from here, fast direct download link provided by me.
It is reported to work with Xperia S. Works on devices without root.
sensible Less framerate in home screen, but much more silkyness overall.
good improvement, but i'll miss the high framerate feeling.
Can someone make apk for non rooted xperias to install this launcher?

Since it is replacing a system app, i wouldn't know how to. Maybe someone can think of an easy workaround, let's wait and see!

What do you need?
Look at Launcher.config.xml for the 16bit.
Enable landscape mode:
- Open AndroidManifest.xml
- Look for
Code:
android:screenOrientation
and change it from "nosensor" to "user"

Already tried that but doesnt work.
whats the difference between the old TouchWiz mod ??
The font looks a bit too bold for the screen. & the icons are a bit too flashy. They don't carry the subdued beauty of the background. Just my thoughts.
sweet! nice to see someone is continuing this project, but i really think you should consider making a launcher as close to stock as possible with just the added tweaks. Speed, customizable default screen etc.
Keep up the good work!
I have managed to get additional locale to the gtglauncher without decompiling gtglauncher, but then again it is not perfect, and does exhibit a strange behaviour.
Whenever I reboot the phone, it will always force close once. After that, the launcher works perfectly, no force close or whatsoever. Landscape, portrait works just like as before.
pm me if you want to know the method.
Edit: The 1st time I tried is the 16bit disabled launcher, and it force closed. When I try the 16bit version, there is NO force close anymore.
Thanks a ton for all ur hard work. A 5 icon Dock and Landscape Rotation would seal the deal. Let the donation pour in to webstar to support him.
Just a suggestion, it will look much nicer if you remove the backdrops. Currently looks too cramped and cluttered.

What has this to do with the theme? Clear your browser data or simply change browser. Stock, firefox and chrome working fine here.
btw, can you post some screenshots of the app drawer?
You really create some cool stuff , thanks
Making one for Xperia P would be great... This one doesn't work unfortunetly...

I've just took your SystemUI and you've done great job. Only NFC icon still stay white not blue. Please, can you fix it.

And the centered clock? You managed to do that with Sony fw?
Also, there is any differences between stock clock widget and your modded one?

Edited some values in Settings.apk, can share the apk with "WitheMagic" and power widget (check 2nd post soon). My custom clock widget is one of the widgets in ClockWidgets.apk. And yes, centered clock looks good until you get 7+ notifications

Introduction
Hey guys, all of these softkeys are created from scratch drawn by myself. More is to come! If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, feel free to run by me.
*This has only been tested on CM10 but should work on any Gnex Rom.
*I am not responsible if your phone goes boom, even though it shouldn't
Since people are asking the set up above is the following:
- Apex Launcher with Meego Theme (icons + dock) from here
- HD widgets
How to Install:
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market, open it at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/
Download the zip file and move it to the /sdcard/AndroidThemes
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" and reboot your phone immediately after this.
If systemUI keeps force closing before you can reboot, just take out the batteries and restart your phone. It will be fine after that.
NOTE: Wallpaper will reset to default

Well this is my my first thread/mod/port in SIII section,I only got the device few hours ago so pardon me for small mistakes =)
After using S3 little I really didn't liked the keyboard(or pizzwizz for that matter lolz) & the swype word recognition that came with it.The best swype keyboard I used personally is the one that came with Xperia S ICS update.And since I know my way around Xperia fw's well I thought what the hell I will port it
Nice keyboard,made the zip for my personal use and thought to share it with the community =)
Sound when pressing keys options seems to be not working atm(no sound),later will fix it =)

Tested on SG Note N7000 with RR v3 JB 4.1.2. XXLS7 works like a charm :laugh:
This doesn't work on Play Store, Google Now, YouTube, Google Maps and Google Search, right, the Swipe gesture?
Nice work, but it needs a bit of tuning... Some smilies don't work, when you try to hit them the kb selects another one. Had to replace the apk from other Xperia KB mod and fully working now with all smilies working.
Other than that it has a small glitch: when you try to enter a password, if you hit the caps button you have to hit again twice to return to normal...
Still, great work with this mod, thanks

Not sure that I like it. Only 4.3.1 is in the Play Store, not the 4.5 update yet.
I liked the 4.3.1 because it shows me my categories on the left side. This just looks like the phone version and only has the sender/message preview. Lots of white space in landscape mode.

With the advent of the new navigation drawer that can be swiped into view from any screen, a specific tablet version need not exist. This is incredibly clever design by Google. Not to mention the innovative "Swipe to refresh" animation.

Just an FYI everyone, if you are running a HALO enabled rom, you must disable HALO before trying to install this apk. HALO prevents the installation of 3rd party (apps not on the play store). You can re-enable it afterward.

Ok - I don't like it, but I can see your point.
However - have you found a way to not waste all the space recovered by not showing labels and actually display messages? On a Stock N7, I went from >14 messages visible, plus my quick labels selection to a display of <10 messages on the screen, and each message has less of a preview.
If the design is to maximize utility, I would expect to be able to do more, not see less and require more interactions to get anything done.
