New Sony Ericsson Home Launcher leaked

by XB on 31/07/2011

New Sony Ericsson Home Launcher leaked Sony Ericsson’s latest home launcher that will arrive in the newest Xperia range such as the Xperia ray has been leaked. There is not too much that is radically different from the current home launcher from what we could find, however there are some subtle differences.

This includes a new ‘Theme’ function in settings (although this is not yet active) and changes to the app drawer and widget overview. The app drawer now includes a button on the bottom right that allows you to uninstall apps directly. The Widget overview now has a neat touch where widgets float around, also when you shake the phone the widgets fly over the screen. We have tested this on a Xperia X10, Xperia arc and PLAY and it seems to work without any problems. You can download the apk here. Check out some screenshots after the break.

It should work as long as you’ve installed the stock Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update on the X10

We just overwrote it on our devices, couldn’t find a way around this…

Okay, do u think that SE will include this launcher in their next update for arc/play/neo?
Cuz I really want those features, but I dont want to mess this phone up:/

I have installed this on my rooted arc 2.3.3 and it fucking works like a charm…. so much better than the stock 1.0xxx

Don’t worry it’s just an application and it can be uninstalled. When I went to install it the phone thought it was an update and I pressed it to update. I went into settings and took out the update and voila it was gone.

Also it keeps all your shortcuts and widgets exactly like they were before installing.

If your really scared just factory reset after you installed it if you don’t like it.

Don’t work on TripnMiui ROM GB 1.0

But what about the themes? How can i get them?

Works nice on non-rooted stock arc. Like the option to uninstall stuff from the app drawer. The widget overview is kind of pointless now though… With the widgets floating around randomly, one over the other, it’s harder to read them at a glance and harder to pick out one you want to tap. It’s a silly change that sacrifices usability for eye candy.

Does not work on SGS2. I think this requires a SE branded stock launcher.
