Sony has a reputation for making good and stylish products. On almost all devices Android your launcher, which many end up replacing with one of the classics Launcher Pro, GO Launcher EX, etc. But the truth is that the Sony launcher was quite light, elegant, and did not slow down the mobile, something that was very welcome. However, it had shortcomings related to the included widgets. It seems like the new Sony Xperia S offers a much improved launcher, and that is liking many. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a developer to have ported it to all Android.
Of course, truth be told, to all Android with Gingerbread o Ice Cream Sandwich, less to the Xperiaironically. Sony devices at the moment cannot move this ported version of the launcher, since it is especially aimed at mobiles from other brands. The developer has posted his work on XDA-Developers, as well as in their website. And we not only have the launcher available, but also the widgets that includes Sony to give a better appearance.
Obviously, not all equipment is fully compatible, some have given some small flaws, but nothing serious. Usually it is working very well in all terminals, except Xperia that they are not able to install the corresponding application, since in this case it would have to replace another essential application of the system, which does not happen in the rest of the devices.
Something that must be taken into account when downloading and installing this launcher is that we will have to use the version corresponding to our Android, depending on the resolution of our screen. To do this, it is necessary to clarify the different types of resolutions and designations for each one:
- QVGA (240 x 300 pixels)
- HVGA (320 x 480 pixels)
- WVGA (480 x 800 pixels)
- FWVGA (480 x 854 pixels)
- qHD (540 x 960 pixels)
- HD (720 x 1280 pixels)
In addition to these, it has special versions aimed at Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note, which have very characteristic screens. If you do not know the resolution of your device, you can find it in the MóvilZona comparator, selecting two devices, one of them yours, and clicking on the "Send" button. If you're interested, head over to this developer's page and choose the desired resolution.
