The only reason why I like this app is because you have swipe gestures.
I have my Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
mounted in my car in front of my head unit, with over 500 Full HD 1080 music videos ripped from YouTube
This allows me to swipe music videos for the next one, previous one, stop, play or even mute while driving ( I have long road trips with by myself, friends and family so its a great visual distraction for them )

Still waiting for my Xperia Z but - FIREFOX should be good !!
A web browser is tricky, each person has there own preference.
Ive used the default browser, opera since java and symbian phones. And dolphin.
Type in 'web browser' in Google play and look at the top 20 its all trial and error.
Edit looks like puffin web browser has flash?
Edit again.
Maybe even top 30 ,quite a few new browsers.
I like floating browsers too so you could try one like floating browser flux or overskreen which wouldn't be bad on the 5 inch screen.

Timescape widget from Arc will not work later because Sony is leaving Timescape and will replace it with Sociallife app seen in it's tablets.
I think it will be nice, that someone to make a software, like the illumination bar from xperia t. But for xperia z, and the illumination bar to be displayed on the screen when it`s in stand by.
I think il will not drain so much battery
I'm wondering if the lock-screen can be turned off in the settings?
If not, can someone test the app No Lock and see if it works?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5qcmFmLmFuZHJvaWQubm9sb2NrIl0.
HTC phones have issues turning off lock screens due to Sense built deep into the system..
Thanks!
I decided to use another launcher in place of the stock xperia one
so I also froze it with rom toolbox
In this case some of Sony provided widgets e.g. weather, disappear from the widgets menu or list in the app drawer
Is it possible to recover them and make them usable with other launchers somehow?
Thanks a lot

Not as far as I know. I can't use them on Apex Launcher or Nova either (even without disabling the sony launcher).
You cannot use sony widgets on custom launchers

Same here with Next Launcher, but better sacrifice some widget than use the stock launcher which is very ugly.
There is a sony walkman widget in the playstore that I use with nova, it's not quite as pretty but gets the job done.

Hi guys,
as the update a week or so of the Walkman App camo out i rea in the update center that it can now be added a widget to the lockscreen(not only when you play music). So updated to 8.4.A.3.1 but I am still not able to find the widget for the lockscreen. Anyone alse having this problem?
Sent from my C5303 using XDA Free mobile app
The widget only appears when a music player is playing music. I am not able to add the widget directly (just tested it)
~~Regards
Thanks for the reply. My mistake that I misunderstood something. It was "Walkman widget to work on Android default home screen" not Lockscreen. Seems to be a feature that you could use the new widget for other launchers too.
Is there still a way to get widget of the walkman app to the lockscreen? Cause when I stop the music it disappears and on a microphone(not a headset) it is very annoying to reopen the app.

I formatted my Sony xperia SP recently and got the android 4.3 installed from Sony service center. Since then I have been trying to find the Walkman small app all across the Google play store, but did not find it anywhere. Can someone please give me a link for the Sony Walkman small app?
You can use walkman small app by selecting from one of the walkman widgets in Add small apps from Widget option which converts widgets to small apps
See screenshot, its the second option, and select walkman widget.
Sure
Widget is very convenient .
