[Q] How to entirely change font on Z1?

How do you guys change font for the entire phone?
Some apps are still not using the fonts that I uploaded (e.g. Clock Widget, Walkman, Camera, Album, Movies, etc.).
And my Z1 doesn't have SoMARegular and SoMABold in the fonts folder... How strange...
Can anybody help?

I'm using ifont app works perfectly on all apps and alot of fonts to choose from

I just gave it a try and that app still doesn't change the font on my Clock Widget, Camera, Walkman, Album, etc.

... anyone?

The problem is the launcher and compatibility with widgets. Switch to another launcher.

change stock icons?

Is there a simple way of changing some of the stock Xperia icons (diaper, messaging etc.) without resorting to rooting or a different launcher? Rather than mess with Nova I'd rather just change 3-4 icons on the Xperia launcher and be done with it. Not sure if an icon editing app like Beautiful Icon Styler works with Xperia or not (and it sounds like Lollipop will break it anyway)

Icon changer free, no root or specialties, just install and change away - download an icon pack you like through the app

Are you willing to change all the icons One by one? Thanks for suggestion but it takes too much....

Z3 ui on PA?

Hi devs.
Does it have way to make my PA look like z3's kk. I like Sony's interface, but 4.3 is slowly for my. Thank's and srry for my bad english

When im on KK roms with theme engine support, I use the Xperia Z2 theme by thomasffca and also use the Z2 keyboard, I feel this is enough to make it feel like Sony UI still but have all KK features, try out those apps I mentioned and see what you think?
Edit: On CrystalPA 8.50, there is a minor bug on hover notifications, its got no background when displaying the notification while using the Z2 theme.
I have also installed the Xperia font with ROM Toolbox and that has also made the phone feel more like the Sony UI we know and love.
Also, use digital xperia clock widget from play store and use that on your lockscreen and homescreen to keep the clock looking Xperia.

[Q] Change home button icon

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the home button icon, i.e rather than a picture of a little house, have say a car, or writing like "Xperia", or anything else?
Also, is it possible to just change the app icons, rather than having a launcher to change the whole home screen like Nova Launcher. I like the way I have arranged my apps and widgets etc, and I use my own pictures for backgrounds, I would just like to use different icons for the apps?
Thanks - I am new to the forum so apologies - I am not a developer, have not rooted my phone and don't know what to do with apk ?

O.K, let's simplify this...
Root device and install xposed framework.
Install Xperia xposed module and you'll be able to change home button/icon.
Install Unicon, xposed module to change apps icons.
Download themes from market (for ADW launcher) and use those themes icons.
- You'll get it once you open unicon -
There are other ways to change app icons and home button, decompiling apk and change ongs (assets) in xxhdpi folder but without root there's no chance to do that...
And yeah...you are in wrong section buddy..
Use Q&A for this types if threads.

You can change the home/back etc. buttons by changing your xperia specific theme in the appearance section in your settings. I personally have applied an Android L theme and have the official 5.0 square, triangle and circle.
As for the icons, I don't think so, unless you're willing to install a custom launcher. I recommend nova, you can categorize your apps just as efficiently if not more with the Prime version.
This is the way to go if you don't want to root your device as the upper poster suggested.

The best way is changing theme apperance.

There's an app on the Play Store called Softkeyz which dies exactly that.

"unicon" app (xposed module) can change app icons in xperia home launcher. download any icon pack and apply it

``
you can change it by rooting your phone , and xposed installed . then you use module 'xStana'{Recommended} or 'XPERIA/AOSP NavBar Button' for the softkey , you can change what you like .

[Q] Icon packs with google now launcher?

Hello,
I'm waiting for my new Z3 compact and i was wondering if there's a way to use the Google Now Launcher (I find really usefull the google now tab and features) with icon packs. Of course i don't want to root the device because I don't want to run into dmr keys problems. So...no xposed gel settings
Is there another way-app-trick?
Thank you
Ivan

Yes, you can change the icons that appear in the dock or on your desktop with an app free from playstore called awesome icons.
I use this on my non rooted Huawei Ascend Y330 running stock 4.2.2.
I can't obviously change the app drawer icons, is this what you require?

Use As some icons. You can't change app drawer icons in GNL unless u are rooted

Getting over run by people called Ivan hahaha think he means awesome icons too :-0

OMG...ahahha. Any other Ivan? thank you guys! And is there a way to use icon packs with the stock sony launcher? maybe I will like it..but I don't like the icons a bit old school
