Hi everyone!
Im so in love with the specs and and formfactor of the N7 and I kinda like the stock Holo theme too, especially over TouchWiz and the likes, but its just getting boring after a while unlike Sony's Xperia UI on their recent devices such as the Xperia Tablet Z. Since they share the same screen resolution it doesn't seem to be a hard job to adopt the complete UI for an expert. I guess i can't just simply flash a Tablet Z's fw onto the N7, it would broke. Is there anyone in the same boat with me and also have some expertise in doing it? Not sure if that's an issue but they're also not on the same fw version.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has been discussed earlier because Sony's UI is just simply mindblowing and N7 is getting so popular with the 2013 version especially.
Please let me know if it is possible to make in some way ot should I get the Tablet Z instead.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Mate,
Thank you for that! That's a start! Could you please shoot some screens and tell me ihow similar it gets with that launcher? I actually really do like the the way you unlock the device.
I have tried it and it does look nice but the app drawer is not right for the density of our n7.
Does anyone know what the stock lcd density the tablet z uses?. I will also ask in the tablet z forum.
Also maybe an amazing dev can chef us up a xperia based rom .pretty please :angel:
Would be aswesome to have Xperia UI in this tablet!! is it confirmed to be working that shared app???

Would someone be willing to upload the Xperia X10 home launcher apk file so I can try it on my SGS?
It looks quite good .
Thanks!
You'd better put a [Q] or a [REQ] tag at the beginning of the topic title...
And I think it would be a good idea to ask this in the X10 forum, but don't think it's possible to run it as simply as u think.

Oh ok thanks for your reply,
mods please add [REQ] to the title.

Personally dont like the x10s interface, laggy and horrible.

When I click on edit post it doesn't allow me to change the title :l
I just want to try it on my SGS, probally not keep it as a permanent launcher.
timescape on i9000? good luck with this one.
btw i'm not a big fan of touchwiz, thats why im using launcherpro. However i've heard that the timescape is the worst interface on an android device.
You could ask it to someone over at the x10 forums, since they have root they could just adb pull the launcher. But it's for 1.6 though, so I doubt it'll work on either 2.1 or 2.2
But when Sony has released their 2.1 update for the x10, it would probally be possible, unless sony uses an custom kernel, which you'd have to flash as well in that case.
You can edit the title, you just have to go to the advanced editing mode. And the X10 apps won't work on the Galaxy S. They have dependencies built into the framework like Sense UI.
I wish i could just get the phone apk integrated into my xt720.
I'd say that's all im truly missing from the Xperia X10
you can try this.
but for me I get FC all the time.
placed the apk on system/app then rebooted my device.
then edited build.prop and still no go

WoW xperia x10 laucher
to my surprise it actually installed. However it force closes 3 seconds after.
I was so obsessed with new HTC One X and started thinking to buy it. But like many others I have just bought GS2 few months ago and still under the contract.
So here is the steps how you get htc one series (Sense 4) interface on your galaxy s2. I have searched a bit and compile these things for interested people.
I have it set up on CM 7.2. (People call it minimal and simplistic rom but it has got one killer feature “theme chooser” that makes it possible to look your device UI look like anything.)
So before you look further, you have to have CM 7 running on your device.
Step 1 – Download and extract this folder http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17952927/HTC One X on SGS2/sense4.rar
Step 2 – Install NTsense.apk (credit to nhnt11) and apply it from theme chooser
Step 3 –Download and Install Go launcher ex from play store https://play.google.com/store/search?q=go+launcher+ex&c=apps
Step 4 – Download and install this theme for go launcher (paid) and apply https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5nYXUuZ28ubGF1bmNoZXJleC50aGVtZS5zZW5zZSJd
Step 5 – Download and install fancy widgets https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets&feature=search_result
Step 6 – If you have installed it for the first time then go in fancy widgets app>Appearance settings>Clock skins>All and download any skin you like. This will create a folder Android/data/fancywidgets/clockskins in your sd card. Find the “H7CSlateClock” folder from the folder I have shared and put it under clockskins. Apply widget and select the H7Cslateclock skin.
Step 7 – Download and install magiclocker main app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsIm1vYmkubG9ja3NjcmVlbi5tYWdpY2xvY2tlciJd
Step 8 – Download and install sense3.0 magic locker theme and apply it https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tYWdpY2xvY2tlci50aGVtZS5mcmVlLm1sLnNlbmNlMyJd
Step 9 – find the sense 4 wallpapers and ringtones in the shared folder and use whatever you like.
Step 10 - Enjoy
Note – You have to do a bit of workaround with magic locker as it will divert you to its own home replacement forcibly but then you can change it under the magic locker settings.
Use circular transition under go launcher settings to make it more SENSible.
So do you still need HTC One X. I don't think so. It just saved you a few hundread dollars, isn't it?
PLEASE DONATE IF YOU LIKE MY WORK OR AT LEAST HIT THANKS

But you don't change your phone every now and then. BTW HTC One XL is dual core phone. As far as ICS is concern, I don't find a single stable and fast ROM as compare to GB ROMS. Yes not even Samsung official ICS. Anyway its a matter of perception.
I haven't tried it on CM 9 though. Did you try it?

odex stock LPQ is stable... Go launcher is laggy, but it is GO ICS bugs only, try it w/ Apex launcher (deoxed versions are unstable only)
Perfect on Samsung Galaxy Ace
+1. Loving it more than ICS theme.
tried it and looks good,thanks for the detail tutorial

One xl is dual but the op says one x. And here in europe thats gonna be a quad! Same here, found no ICS that can match GB. And i think Sense 4.0 i so much better then stock ICS look...i dont like it at all and its something you really can get tired of fast.

cool, then use it till you buy new HTC one x.
I wanted to mention sense 4 only but thought it would be more picky if I mention one x.
BTW for the lag in go launcher, you can set it to smooth in the settings. I just tested this on latest cm9 nightly and its all good for me.
Going back GB once again.

Thanks for the Fancy Widget skin, saw the OneX previewed recently and loved the clock skin much better than the old one. Nice work
I was looking at this rom and was wondering it was compatible with my EPIC 4g Touch? I really want Sense. If anyone can confirm or deny it that would be great.
thanks
thanks bhavu!
you save me crucial bucks! i got my galaxy s2 again yesterday but was too tempted to buy an HTC. you got it done!
thanks!

This is not the rom. It's just the theme. You can do it on any device running cm 7.

did you make the widget skin? if so, can you also make a Beautiful Widgets one?
Looks too big on the GSII! The dock and app icons look to large when comparing it to the HTC One S. How can I fix that?
I'm really considering buying one x just because it's ui now haha

I'm currently using a ICS rom, with HTC 4 overlay.
the best ROM I have ever used, including CM7 and MIUI.
I'm using it on a Desire Z which will probs never get an official ICS update, and definitely not anything further than Sense 3.0, if it makes it that far.
ICS does not need dual core, and can be exceedingly stable, if you take out bored programmers paid to do it, and put in enthusiasts.
thank you. working for JB Rom, AOKP - Thunder bolt. with Apex launcher. I just installed apex theme, and below weather widget, it is cool and animated!

So I'm currently running the newest Jedi rom. But for Christmas my sister and I bought my father the Xperia TL and through setting it up and getting it ready to give it to him on Christmas Day I realized how seriously awesome and fluid the ui is. The lock screen is super smooth and notifications come on it looking clean, the messaging app is great and the overall look and feel makes me feel like, when looking at my note's tw ui and even using nova launcher, like I'm using a kid's toy and the real deal is over on the xperia.
So tl;dr does anyone know of a way to get the xperia interface or look running on a note 2?
I realize one option would need a whole rom and a lot of work to get it working with S Pen functionality and etc, but are there any options that I haven't thought of? I'm nothing more than a guy who learned to flash roms so me taking on a project like that is little more than impossible. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way or has accomplished what I'm setting up for.

im using it atm, and it is much better looking than sony's stock.
it is just a tad bit laggier, but i know after a while it will become much more smoother, it's still new.

So you recommend spending 2.25€ for it? It is tempting to try.

I use Opera to download files, Dolphin to read news and browse as i don't have to install fonts to my phone, the other one is default one. And normally I used to have more than 3. But last night I format my phone and not installed all browsers yet.
Its been a while since I never use launcher. Today I found this post and want to try some launchers and decide what is best. But I can't decide yet. That's the reason I has many launchers.
So, I bought it and have been playing with it for some time. Here are my first impressions.
It looks really nice and it is very good that you can customize what will it look based on time, location or WiFi. So you can always have something different, based on what you need.
Screens are fully customizable and there are 5 of them. You can have chameleon widgets or put your own anywhere. Official widgets are really nice.
It is pretty fast but tends to lag sometimes and first load of launcher is quite long.
You can put apps on screens and create folders and link them to app drawer so you have them always at hand.
The biggest downside of chameleon? RAM USAGE! It eats around 100MB to as high as 135MB or ram and it's slowing the phone down sometimes.
This launcher is in the making and will get even better than it is now. They really have to improve ram usage otherwise it is really good for now.
Will post some more after few days.

yeah i noticed the ram usage too
i even encountered a force close when i was playing around with it, though only once, but still
