    works great with my xperia s, rooted, cwm, now deodexed!!!! just have to let it sit for 2-3 dayw for it to adjust to its new settings.
    now im able to port the updated launcher from honami, themes, conversations, clocks, and any other minor ui etc.

    reminder: really need to back up your data and your phone. before doinng this process.
    if you fail, say you ended up with bootloops, dont panic, just read read read, then restore your backup from cwm.

    this is a learning experience for me, heheh, because i have been doing this for a week now, i’m a noob!!!

    now i want to be a developer, hahah!!!
