Found this linked in a thread over in the SXS forum.
Xperia GX Home Launcher For All Xperias (Multi-Resolution)
It's a modded GX Home Launcher with customizable launcher settings. It's pretty sweet.
Many customizable settings accessed through the menu/settings hard key. Landscape and auto-rotation works.
Credits:
serajr - the creator of the mod
Ganesh - for checking my zip
¤ You must be rooted and deodexed.
¤ Do not try to flash the zip from the original thread, it's for the LT26 and will not work for the LT28.
¤ Instructions and LT28 file links in post 2.
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS:
Now that we have our lt28 flashable zip for this mod, I fear some may not be reading the original thread's instructions on installing this. So I'm reposting them here.
The Manual Way:
Instructions for manual installation on Xperia ICS firmware devices:
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
Clearing predefined system settings xml´s folder for Home.apk:
- Check for this path in your /system: /system/etc/customization/settings/com/sonyericsson/home
- If the /home folder is there, just delete it (only /home) !!!
Now install:
1 - Download attached v4.2_ICS_MultiResolution_Xperia_GX_Home.apk and put it on your sdcard
1.1 - Rename it to Home.apk
2 - Download attached v4.2_ICS_HomeAdd.apk and put it on your sdcard
2.1 - Rename it to HomeAdd.apk
3 - Download attached v4.2_ICS_HomePreferences.apk and put it on your sdcard
3.1 - Rename it to HomePreferences.apk
4 - Using Root Explorer copy all three files to /system/ (mount /system as R/W)
5 - Change all three files permissions to rw-r--r--
6 - Long press on Home.apk and select Move
6.1 - Paste Home.apk on /system/app/ (replace if asked)
7 - Long press on HomeAdd.apk and select Move
7.1 - Paste HomeAdd.apk on /system/app/ (replace if asked)
8 - Long press on HomePreferences.apk and select Move
8.1 - Paste HomePreferences.apk on /system/app/ (replace if asked)
9 - Reboot you phone
Important (after reboot)
10 - Go to "Config >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> All", tap on "Xperia Home" and select "Clear Data" (you need to rearrange your widgets)
VERY IMPORTANT
Home.apk, HomeAdd.apk and HomePreferences.apk work together and they should be in the /system/app folder!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or the easy way:
Flash the zip in cwm. You should still follow step 10 from the manual instructions. You may also want to try the prestep of. "Clearing predefined system settings xml´s folder for Home.apk:" if you're having issues.

Check your permissions?
How did you install?
Did you reboot?
What GX mod and was it working before?
I downloaded the flashable zip, extracted the 4 apk files to /system, changed permissions on these files, moved them to /system/apps, reboot.
I think mine may have crashed after installation and a reboot set it straight.
That's how I did it. Home just stops. Maybe another mod is conflicting. Guess I'll go stock, root, and deodex again and retry.

Maybe a fresh download of this mod too
More on functionality:
Auto rotate works great, so I get consistent landscape action now.
Folder image, indicator style, homescreen count, app drawer background, launch button style, and dock background customization options.
You can backup and restore settings.
Good stuff.
The CWM zip did not work for me. It aborted itself.
The zip is for the S. I extracted the files and installed manually.
Ganesh sent me a zip container for lt28, I'll make a new zip install soon.

Oh okay. Kinda throws me because it says it's for all Xperia ICS firmware. I was wondering if it had something to do with our CWM recovery. What's the differences for why it won't work for the LT28at? This phone gets ignored/overlooked way too much.

READ 1ST BEFORE ASK
tested by my self using CM9 by arco B3
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKED.
This is not a ROM
this is tweaks/MODS/Hacks etc. for your phone
this is compatible with STOCK or AOSP ROMS
as long as you rooted your phone and init.d support i mean custom kernel
and CWM or any other recovery
Watch this for more info.

INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure you are running a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
- Make sure you have busybox installed, if you don't or if you're not sure, download Busybox Installer from the Play Store (free)
- Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, just in case
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery
- Flash PmR in recovery
- A wonderful touchscreen interface will pop-up
(devices need different touchscreen calibration, if the touchscreen doesn't work, use the menu button of your device, select "Calibration Tools" and follow the instructions)
- Follow the on-screen instructions, make your choices between all the different features to Pimp your Rom
- Select "Reboot my device" on last screen (or reboot from recovery) and enjoy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Encountering installation issues ?
Do the following to fix most errors you might get on some devices :
Open the zip of the rom you are running with winrar or 7zip or whatever (the .zip file that you flash in recovery)
Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android
Extract the file called "update-binary" and rename it to "update-binary-installer" then close your rom's zip
Open Pimp my Rom's zip (i.e : PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.5.3-by-Androguide.fr.zip)
Do not unzip it, inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android and delete "updater-binary-installer"
Now copy the "update-binary-installer" file you extracted & renamed from your rom to Pimp My Rom's zip (still in META-INF/com/google/android). Simply drag and drop it into PmR's zip to add it.
Close the zip and flash it

tip dont use GPS fix thingy ex. your rom is for europe firmware and your in asia dont turn it on
might end up on a bootloop just like me (or im missing something well didnt know all the answer)

you may already installed many app that can interact with hardware. like setcpu, swap or other.
yes you can turn on tweak on init.d and build.prop
Ok guys, yes I have installed nstools, and some others things like acid audio mod and wifix and some others system fonts! So what I did? Wipe everything on my phone, and flash again the cm9 build, and then I have flashed PmR again, and with most of the things, and now I am a happy user again heheh, it's working really good!
So I recommend this thing for at least give it a try

doesnt work on paranoid jelly bean by camcory, bootloop and app keep fc.
First off let me say, I am not responsible for any damage this may cause to your phone you are flashing at YOUR OWN RISK.
that being said, this is a cooked ROM of the newest hboot on Virgin Mobile, it includes a kernel that you will need to fast boot flash.
features
deodexed
zip aligned
includes all sense 4 skins from HTC hub.
includes root browser free and go backup.
I may update this ROM if I feel the need, of course it would only be to add widgets and HTC apps from my old wildfire s that can't be found here.
only use if you are stuck on the newest hboot, my sister and I have both tested it and she's been using it for the past month.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
I had trouble uploading the complete but I have added a kernel download that should boot any sense backup or rom based on stock. remember to flash at your own risk.
if you wanna report bugs or anything feel free.

demi_fiend.... I'm not sure if this information is worth posting a new thread so I'm posting it here.
I personally am on the updated hboot1.57 and radio .0928.
I have also personally tested all Sense ROMs in the CDMA thread with the OTA hboot and radio.
This is my conclusion.
THEY ALL WORK!!!.
All you have to do is keep the original ( stock ) kernel. DO NOT FASTBOOT FLASH..... Everything works except WiFi.
Here's how to fix that. Make a copy of the WiFi modules in your stock ROM. You can find them in /system/lib/modules.
Save the copy some where on your sdcard. Now pick the SENCE ROM of your liking and flash it in recovery. Boot the ROM and install a root explorer of your choice. Now open the root explorer, find the modules and copy them, carry them to /system/lib/modules and paste. Now refresh the page where you paysted them and set the permissions to rw-r-r- on all 4 the modules that you pasted and reboot.
Now every thing in the SENSE ROM that you flashed should work just like it would on the old radio
Only thing that you can't do is over clock
Because of the stock kernel.
Hopefully this helps the guys/girls now on the OTA updated hboot and radio

Simon posted a kernel in this thread that supports the new hboot+radio and I assume/hope also would support overclocking. The one he posted is for AOSP-based ROMs, but I have updated it per his instructions so that it should work with Sense-based ones. Only thing I am unsure of at the moment is what modules would be needed (stock ones from the RUU or the ones from the old Sick v0.6 file). If I can find that out I can upload a zip that would have the updated kernel and flash the modules in recovery.
I'm sure you would need modules from the OTA stock ROM . Not the ones from the older radio.
There is no RUU for the OTA hboot/radio.
I have the modules if you would like a copy

Yeah I just noticed I missed the "patch" folder when checking for updates to them in the FOTA zip file :silly:
Well here's the updated boot.img if you wanna give it a shot. It is currently untested so I would highly recommend having a backup of a known working one on standby.
EDIT: Removed as WiFi isn't working.
Will try in a few

Well that sucks. Now I wonder if there's a difference in the RAMDISK used? I used the one from boot.img in the FOTA with the new hboot, but I wonder if I use the one from Simon's v0.6 it would yield a different result.

Ok got a new attempt. I am not sure if all 4 of the module files are needed or just the 1 that I have. I included the module inside the kernel ramdisk so you might (hopefully) not need to copy the modules. However, in case you do, I have the module attached in a flashable zip. Let me know your results and if you had to copy any (or all) of the modules.
Got them........ Will test today....there is a big difference in size. The stock OTA boot img is 4.0mb and the one downloaded is 2.9mb..... Don't know if it makes a difference. But I will try once I get to a computer @ work

You should try taking your data.yaffs2 image file from a cwm backup, extract it using unyaffs (just google it) and take the /app folder under the extracted directory.
Then, make a flashable zip that mounts /data and then extract it, and it should be working fine
Edit:
about touchpads, I think that the changes would pretty much be located into the framework.jar, so try taking it from an ics rom that has touchpads working

I noticed that there are a lot of great tweaks out there for android phones, but most users cant find them because they're distributed all over XDA. So here i am, with a collection of those tweaks, in an All in one flashable zip. Merged some, modified some, add a lot. Its pretty much a universal tweak, it will work on every device, except for 2 or 3 files modified to work on our Xperia M.
And if your going to add this to your ROm, please let me know and add me to the credits!
How to's-
Install:
1. Boot into CWM
2. Wipe dalvik cache
3. Flash zip
4. Reboot

Thunder Features:
-Cleaned up
-MUCH better Ram usage
-Cache Cleared at every boot
-SD speed tweak
-Logger removed
-Better browser performance
-Sysctl tweaks
-Added modified Zram script

Don't know much bout this method... Since, this device is new to me.. I'll suggest you to flash via cwm for safety..

Why try something hard when you have an easy method available. .sh method may not work or it may. I don't know anything 'bout this method. Since, I have bought this device just now few days back.
Coming from the Samsung Series, I have very less idea 'bout this phone.
Cutting the **** in short - Test it via init.d method, or via that .sh method you stated. Tell me bout it if you don't mind..

Let me explain. Stock kernel doesn't support init.d and i don't have an unlocked bootloader. I will flash the zip with Flash Gordon. To execute the scripts I will modify that file, which executes post boot obviously, to execute those scripts. Just by adding the line:
/etc/init.d/*
you get init.d support in stock kernel

Let me explain. Stock kernel doesn't support init.d and i don't have an unlocked bootloader. I will flash the zip with Flash Gordon. To execute the scripts I will modify that file, which executes post boot obviously, to execute those scripts. Just by adding the line:
/etc/init.d/*
you get init.d support in stock kernel

Hey mate.. ive modified the file you said and added the "/etc/init.d/*" at the very bottom of the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file and flashed in flash gordon (i also dont have an unlocked bootloader).
Nothing seems to have happened though... am i missing something? Did you get this tweak to work?
Regards,
Chris.

ok so just to clarify, ive scrolled to the bottom of the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file pressed return so there is a space then added the /etc/init.d/* so it looks like this...
" ;;
esac
/etc/init.d/*"
Is this correct? first time i did it i got a bootloop :S so i just took the battery out and back in and it booted fine... the phone booted normally though - didnt take ages as suggested, not sure if its working or not :S the phone seems fluid and fast but it always has since i got it (thats why im not overly stressed that i cant unlock my bootloader and get elixer yet) and i haven't added any mods/or tweaks apart from AC!D audio mod and the x-reality engine.
Any info from the OP or you Antrikos would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
**OK i think i have it working, but i just did an Antutu benchmark and ive gone from 1163 to 10602 :S surely that cant be right?**

For confirmation of script's installation, head towards system/etc/init.d to see if the folder exists, and if there are same files as that in the zip.
And antutu benchmarks are never stable. All I want is that your phone remains lagfree and smooth regardless of the antutu or other crap.
Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the quick response but i dont have ANY init.d files or folders in system/etc... im assuming i should have? i dont have an unlocked bootloader and am on stock kernel though.
Should i create an init.d folder and reflash the zip using flash gordon?

Hold on a second... Elixir don't support init.d. We need to create a folder manually for that...
Don't flash with Flash Gordon. Copying and pasting the files from the zip to their respective paths is much easier imo. That's how I did it. And I edited the init.qcom.post_boot.sh manually, didn't flash it.

Right I tried copying the files to their respected folders from the zip but my phone just restarts...
ive installed the init.d apk and im reflashing using flash Gordon now ive rebooted and it says its optimising applications etc
OP if I copy the zip contents to the init.d folder do I just copy them all as they are i.e the bin folder etc folder and the the other one into the init.d folder
sorry to be a pain, im hardly a n00b to this stuff (I had an xperia ray before this modded to f**k) but ive tried running the supercharger script and EVERY time it just reboots my phone, so im trying this one and ive modified the init.qcom.post_boot.sh like antrikos said.
ive got FULL root and ive flashed using flash Gordon, but it wont let me copy the files to their respected folders using a root explorer EVEN after changing the permissions (EVERY time I copy a file to the system my phone just restarts :S) never had this problem on my ray.
Oh and btw to the person that asked I flashed the v7 acid mod using flash Gordon... worked perfectly first time... dno why you might be having problems mate sorry...
grrr I wish I just could unlock the bootloader - would make things soooo much easier.
***update right now flash Gordon is telling me that its not a flashable zip?? :S confused because before it said it was fine***
