use this program to completely customise your home

Thanks, I didn't know that existed.
It would even be better if it would let me change icons and edit labels (or simply remove all labels).
So for now I'll stick to Apex. In case I could create something similar with Sony's launcher compared to the attached screenshot, then I'll move from Apex...

And here is the Apex Screenshot.
JellySandwich 8.2, with transparant status bar, and MIUI icons.
I would even prefer the status bar being smaller (e.g. DPI of 200 in stead of 240) but I didn't find a stable enough release of ParanoidAndroid yet)

Dear thanks for reply. But I dont want Xperia T or GX launcher. I want to customise stock Xperia pro .587fw launcher. Please help.
Thanks in advance

I think previous versions of the provided application by Adrian DC can let you customise xperia s home, which is the same as xperia pro home, so try finding version 6 of the program in the thread good luck!

I have tried but not succeeded, can anyone tell which file needs to be changed for this. Can I get/copy that file from any other Sony stock launcher?
Please help. Thank in advance.

Xperia home options or stock widgets on a different launcher

Like the title says I have a new Sony Xperia acro s and I love it, running the stock .45 Rom is there any way to get more options on the stock xperia home? If not, is there a way to get the stock widgets for weather and walkman on an aftermarket launcher such as apex or nova? I love the stock home launcher but it's just missing a few things.
Thanks,
Sean
Search for serajr Xperia Home mod. And you can't use them on other launchers.

You know that this won't enable you to use Sony widgets on other launchers, right?

No but it offers more customization options which I wanted.

Walkman on One V help!

Hi so i installed the Sony Walkman apk onto the one v but i dont like the icon its the original orange "W".
Can someone give me a link with downloadable icons and instructions?
Thank You!
sorry there is nothing like that, you cannot change a unique icon from app drawer but from home screen with the help of nova launcher/ apex launcher you can change by long pressing on it and selecting edit option then you may choose what icon you want, still if you want to change icon from app drawer then you have to download whole icon pack for apex/nova by this it will change all icon in app drawer
im not using apex or nova launchers nor do i want to use them!
A thread over an icon change? Its that bothering? Wow lmao and you can't do anything unless you use a different launcher or are smart with apk tools. (Need to be rooted)

You can hide apps from app drawer with this xperia home launcher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332
I guess we do have an option! I have been using Xperia GX Home with Xperia Home Preferences in Xperia T ICS ROM and it does have that feature wherein u can hide the unwanted apps from the app drawer. Try it out.

Place the XperiaLauncher.apk at /system/app/
Set permissons to -rw-r-r-
Reboot

Awesome! Is there any chance You can port Z1 camera for Odex stock rom? I have searched around but it seems all of them are just for Deodex roms
just a quick note about ra3al's launcher... if u just install and and not push it to /system/app and give proper permissions all your other widgets won't work... they'll just be "dead widgets" on the screen...

I had some issues with Facebook and Twitter widgets - whenever I went from the Xperia Launcher to Xperia Home (the stock launcher) than back to Xperia Launcher the widgets would simply crash and be unable to load - solved it by using Titanium Backup's "Convert to System App" function - now, whenever I go from one to other and back, they all stay the same, as they should.
I just haven't been able to properly run the Notes widget - haven't been able to install the SemcNotes apk properly.
And I've also noted a new app showing on Titanium Backup - "Android System 4.2.2-vPd3rg", but, whenever I try to do anything with it, TB says it "fails to locate the APK file"- anybody has any idea what is this?

Dude, see my sig... I've got a XZL...
And the original Note apk is still installed and working fine on the stock Xperia Home. It just does not shows up in the Xperia Laucher widget drawer.
