Install Sailfish Jolla Launcher For Android 4.2+ Xperia device

Posted on Jul 5 2014 - 8:57pm by Anurag Kumar

Jolla launcher is for Jolla phones as a part of Sailfish UI, but company recently ran a program where some alpha testers were given Jolla Launcher For Android to test on their devices and later the launcher was made available on Play Store for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 users. Unfortunately it is not yet available for other device users.

We tested Sailfish Jolla Launcher For Android on our Xperia Z1 running on android 4.4.4 and it works great. XDA user riyono has ported successfully launcher for all android users running android 4.2+ above. It doesn’t require root. Download Sailfish Jolla Launcher For Android apk from below and install like normal apk.

Sailfish Jolla Launcher For Android

Version – Alpha release 0.2.0
Tested Devices : Xperia Z1, Z, SP, C, Nexus 7 2013 LTE, Evercoss A7S.

Download Jolla Launcher For Android

For Android 4.2+ users

Download JollaLauncher.apk

For Android 4.3+ users

Download com.jolla.launcher-1.apk

It is kind of bit confusing navigation through this launcher though it is kind of unique launcher in terms of UI.

I just installed this on my Xperia Z and it works great. Just a couple of questions though. How do I change the wallpaper and how do I add more shortcuts to the omescreen. Thanks!
