Xperia Z Ultra has been creating news since it’s launch and the rumored Xperia Honami i1 has just followed it. A bit amusing thing is that, Xperia Z Ultra has been launched but rather than leak of it, we are seeing leaks from Xperia Honami 😛 Well some days back we posted Xperia Z Ultra ZU and Xperia Honami Android 4.2.2 Official Themes and wallpapers and now we present you the official Xperia Home Launcher and new widgets from Xperia Honami i1 to be installed on Xperia S, SL, Acro S and Ion.
Installing Xperia Honami Home Launcher version 6.0.A.0.12 and Widgets
Xperia Honami is expected to come with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean but as we all know that Xperia Z and Xperia ZL have officially been updated to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean 10.3.A.0.423 firmware but as we compared we saw older version of Xperia Home Launcher 5.3.A.0.3 in Xperia Z which points that very soon Xperia Z and ZL will be getting another android 4.2.2 update to match the UI of Xperia Honami and Xperia Z Ultra.
What’s new in Xperia Honami ?
- Xperia Honami Android 4.2.2 Home Launcher Version 6.0.A.0.12.

home launcher looks great....totally new UI from Sony :)
Installation aborted for Xperia Home ... What can I do ?
Are you on deodexed rom ??? Which device ??
No I'm not. I have the XS. But I installed Xperia Z theme last time and it works even if I'm not in deodexed room
But it specifically works on deodexed rom only, if you want we can give you a zip file to make rom deodex...
Ok. No thank you, I'm waiting for XS update this week as Sony said... Week 28 :-)
I already have Deodex ROM for .211 Xperia SL (from http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320711), but i still can't install Xperia Home.
CWM keeps aborting my installation.
