How To: Get Sony's Xperia Launcher & Widgets on Your Nexus 7 Tablet
All across the world, Nexus 7s have been secretly living a double life.The clean, simple look of the stock Holo user interface is nice if minimalism is your thing, but to softModders like me, Holo is bare, lacking style, overly blue, and an eyesore. It gets the job done, but I want something more customizable and visually stunning.What's better? It depends on your taste, but there's TouchWiz, iOS, a TouchWiz/iOS hybrid—your options are pretty much endless. One of my favorites is the Sony Xperia launcher. My last Android phone was a Sony Xperia TX, which had the characteristic Sony style vibe seen across their other electronics. To me, this is an intuitive and gorgeous UI, and I want it on my Nexus 7. Thanks to dev Lazar Dimitrov (aka ra3al), it's easy to install—no root required.

A fluid transition animation makes the launcher feel fast, fun, and also easy to use. It's a nice visual touch. Apps can be ordered in four different ways: Own order, Alphabetical, Most used, or Recently installed. Tapping the X located at the top right will allow you to delete unwanted apps straight from the app drawer. To search for apps, tap the magnifying glass and just type away.
