[Q] - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the way the meny look? I don't like the gray "bar" that's around the icons/program when you press the menu-button. So, is it possible to change it? Like with a theme or something.
And my second question, is it possible to change the settings when you make a recording (video)? Or does the same settings from camera-mode automatically start?
And my last question, is it possible to make a videocall without Skype and programs like that?

i dont even know where to start.

dont quite understand,
-go to stock camera app > change it to video camera > click on the settings icon
-go to play store and download some other video apps
And my last question, is it possible to make a videocall without Skype and programs like that?

Hide app names?(CM 5.0.6)

I tried searching but didn't find anything on it. I was wondering if anyone had made it where the names of my apps didnt show up beneath the icon, or if there's a setting somewhere in CM 5.0.6 to show/hide. I have a light wallpaper and it would be much cleaner without the names below each one.
you can do that in HelixLauncher (both 1 and 2 can do it) so you need to download that launcher; then in the homescreen, click on menu > configure > and there's bunch of options to select

[Q] How to remove the TouchWiz lockscreen [SOLVED :D]

Hey guys!
I'm wondering on how to remove the TouchWiz lockscreen because I'm about to use Lockbot wich act buggy with TW Lockscreen, it shows the TW Lockscreen before switching over to Lockbot.
Is there an APK somewhere i can remove to get rid of TouchWiz lockscreen (the one with the puzzle sliding etc.) ?
Thanks in advance masters!
Im in a similar predicament, i actually am using a passcode right now so it doesnt look like touchwiz

Thank you for your reply, the problem is I cannot use Lockbot now because the TW Lockesreen messes it up. Also on Exlair (Android 2.1) it is not possible to set up a passcode, FroYo is needed for that plus this won't fix my Lockbot issue either. I alreafy did some diging in the APK folders but couldn't really sort it out. You are on FroYo I believe? It is possible to set a SIM pincode but that doesnt help aswell.
PEACE!
The free app NoLock will remove your lockscreen entirely, if you press power/home to wake your phone it will immediately be unlocked. There are several apps on the market to replace your lockscreen with a different style but in my experience these aren't completely satisfying - sometimes the original lockscreen appears for a splitsecond, other times they're just not as responsive and may take a second longer for you to unlock the phone.
Regardless, just try searching the market for 'lockscreen' and see what you find. WidgetLocker is pretty good but not free.
Indeed I am on Froyo, I wasn't aware it isn't available on eclair. Well, if anyone else finds further development besides market apps that seem to slightly lag please help out!

This is exacly my problem, LockBot is one of these tools, it shows the default TW Lockscreen for a second before switching to LockBot Lockscreen, this is exacly why i want the TW Lockscreen removed
Oh and thanks for thinking with me
Download SGS INFO on the forum here install and run the app selecting set powerbutton action. Select the tickbox and this will permantly disable the lock screen until you select otherwise.
The beauty if this is that it doesnt use a 3rd party app to do this just provides a shortcut to hidden options within the SGS.
Hope this helps.

You can also easily revert back to the stock lock (...and two smoking barrels! ) screen by modifying the code in /system/framework/android.policy.odex.

i installed the app. but when i choose set powerbutton action, i have only this one on the list :
shutdown: enable to shutdown on end call long press.
thats not right or ?
which code must i enter to disable lockscreen.
and would it be the same code to reactivate the stock lock screen ?

when i tick off the shutdown option, then 3 things happen:
1. the question if i really want to shut down my phone is gone. (i think this is the real action, what it does)
2. when i restart my phone, the sim card is not accepted, its even not asked for pin. i tried 3 times, so its not working
3. the lockscreen is gone.
so i need an other option, maybe i will deinstall it completly.
or has someone an other suggestion ?

Hey Rambone!
Most of the times these apps don't work together with apps such as LockBot for getting another lockscreen. Will try it out tho, thanks for the heads up
Great job on your ROM's b.t.w. mate, really awesome! Keep up the good work!

[Q] Can i change the led color when the X8 is charging?

I´ts possible? I have GingerDX v22.
i feel like wacking my head against a brick wall
-ITS IN THE SETTINGS, this is in the settings-do you never go in your settings?
not tryin to be mean or anything-but its been asked before, +its in the most important oart of your settings - cyanogenmod settings, you can explore from there cant you?
Sorry, but I really have not found, thanks for reply.

ok do exactly this:
settings ---> cyanogenmod setting ---> interface ---> LED notifacations
control trackball/LED notifacations colours and pulse
Do you have any rom based on CyanogenMod,like GingerDx?
In that case, you should go to:
Settings->Cyanogenmod->Interface->LED notifications->Unconfigured
Choose the application whose LED you want to change (messaging or phone calls or whatever), then choose Force LED ON on LED Mode, and then choose the colour.

[Q] ICS Stock Wallpaper Glitch, PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
When i upgraded my phone to ICS, it used to set wallpapers as i crop them (at any size, any length or width) and it also appeared exactly the same size on home screen as i crop it. But now for some reason, that i dont know, it has stopped doing that and use the same method as before i.e. predefined length-width + zoomed wallpaper on home screen.
Is there any option or a method to revert back it to setting custom sized wallpaper?
Please i dont want any 3rd software to do this because i believe there must be some genuine way to solve this problem as once i restarted my phone and i got the desired wallpaper cropping settings. But now it restarting phone also doesnt help.
Please help me for this. My phone is not rooted yet. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Yes bro, i already have Wallpaper Wizardrii installed but when there is a default cropping option so i don't really want any software to do this for me. i know there must be some way to get back ICS built in cropping settings but cant figure out how? Thanks again Bro

Yeah i know. I don't like to use any other software then the built-in one. But in that case you can just flash some other rom or re-install the ICS stock one.....

Question Brief Pop Up style notifications not working

I am having trouble with the brief pop-up style notifications working. Whenever I get a notification it should pop up near the front facing camera, whether the screen is on or off. I'd say 95% of the time it does not pop up, but it seems to randomly. I have enabled all apps to pop up, and have tried with only some apps. Neither seem to work. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!
not enough to enable app , inside every app in notification u must see and apply POPUP , make sure of that
That worked, thanks so much!!

I followed your suggestion and it works! Unfortunately, I've got a new problem with messenger automatically turning off "show as pop-up". I have no idea why..... But everytime it has a new notification, it will turn off itself without any changing from me. Let my screenshots describe. The first pic is before the new message comes, the second pic is after.
go inside setting / notification / messenger /notification categorises , check them all inside each one
