Active Launcher for Stock 2.1 ROM

THIS LAUNCHER IS AS SMOOTH AS THE STOCK X8 LAUNCHER IN STOCK ROM. DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS OPTIMIZED TO RUN ON ORIGINAL SONY ERICSSON ROMS AND SONY ERICSSON ENVIRONMENT. THIS WORKS WITH STOCK ROM
Reccomendations:
*Do not install as system app - it does not like to be a system app
*Do not uninstall the stock x8 launcher - it works good with it and don't worry only one launcher will be running at an instance, unless a FC happens.


What's new
*"up arrow"
*Active Launcher features

Bugs [ONLY IN STOCK 2.1 ROM]
*Can't add folder - but to be honest who gives a damn, if your using the original x8 launcher you woudn't even have this or all the other feature.
*Can only add app shortcut, not other shortcuts for example "Manage Application" shortcut - Again you can't do this with stock x8 launcher

Wow, that's cool! But I'm on stock ROM. I don't think it will work. Anyway, nice share!

Oh, I like its smoothness (when you first flash with no apps), but I then hate its UI (status bar is eukkk).

Ever try GCZ? I heard its supposed to be like stock SE UI
Leave a thanks if I helped! :D

In fact I've flashed an Xperia 2011 theme on it. Looks like the new mini's and yes, I've tried GingerCruzt but let's not get off-topic ;)

Thank you so much _Sparks, just a question, I only use 2 widgets, so 5 screens are too much. And it even has 4 corners to store apps! :D So can I edit the apk to make launcher has only 3, or 1 screen? If I can, how to do that?

You can edit it but you need to change the integers file just search in xda, i think u need apk manager and android sdk :)

If u need me to i can make one with 3 screens for u when i have time:)

    Someone already did this.....?

    Sent from my E15i using XDA App

    Yes I was about to mention this...
    The difference here is that u have the 4 corners and also you do not need to flash this with all the other facebook inside xperia stuff (Which don't work properly).
    you just install this apk as normal.

    Hey Sparks, the second launcher is the Active launcher with the ability to swipe up to show the app drawer, just like the 2.1 one? If it is the Active launcher I assume it works on Gingerbread, right?

    uhmmmmm, its not actually swiping up, i just replaced the icon, and yeah it works on GB also it should be smoother.

    Ya it probably wont work, since active launcher gets FCs with Eclair. Sorry:(

    Doesn't work for me!
    When I move it to system/app or data/app and set permissions it doesn't work.
    When I install it as APK it says "App not installed"
