Sony smartphone users can now get the Xperia Z3 launcher

Sony smartphone users can now enjoy the  Xperia Z3 launcher and widgets which comes with the company’s latest flagship phone the Xperia Z3.

The launcher which has recently been ported to Android 4.2 and above will work on both rooted and non-rooted Sony smartphones. To install, just remove the previous Home.apk from system/app and then you can go ahead to install the new one. If you install manually (no-root way), the stock widgets might not work, the status and navigation bars will not be transparent.

Note that this process won’t work on non Xperia devices and is only available for 4.2 and above. There might be availability for Android 4.1 soon and maybe 4.o too.

You can get the full explanation and download link from the XDA forum.
