[FIX]Sony Home Launcher UNresponsive - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like many one of the first things I do is turn off all animations under developer options for any and all of my devices. Unfortunately the XZ does NOT like that. In fact I've been racking my brain and logcats for the better part of a week now trying to figure out why my home launcher became completely UNresponsive.
Not a big deal since a switch over to Nova Launcher cures the issue, but I wanted to solve the problem as anyone who converts over to say Android or the Xperia Z for that matter may get a bad taste .... Here's the solution.
DO NOT TURN OFF ANIMATIONS under developer options! Keep them at 1x = problem solved.

Just wanted to throw this solution out there so no one else runs into the same problem

"brighter" spot on the screen

Hi,
After months owning an N1, I managed to sell it today and buy a new one (with a guarantee this time) for a little additional money. The problem was, after some time using it, I noticed there is a small problem with the screen: there is a spot near the bottom left corner which seems to be brighter than the rest of the screen, especially when holding the phone in a certain angle. Kind of like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do you guys know why this could be happening? Anyone has something like it? Is there a way to fix it, or should I send it back to HTC?
Nothing? :-(
Does it have screen protector?

[APP]Buzz Launcher

Anyone else tried using this yet? It really makes it so simple to share homescreens and apply new ones so easy. Really takes out all the effort and work of setting up all the UCCW setups.

I used it for a while and liked how deep the visual customizations were yet easy to do. It was time consuming though, getting things exactly how I wanted, but I preferred taking time to do what I can target than have no option at all.

I've been using it for a while now. It really goes deep into visual customizations like felacio said. And if you're feeling lazy, you can just pick a homepack someone uploaded and just apply it. The community is pretty active and the developers listen and act on feedback.

Minor issue with trebuchet (CM 11)

When I try to open a folder on my homescreen, the animation runs about half way through and then stops. Usually when I press the back button and try again it works but the first time it almost always stops.
I can still access the items on the folder so it is a minor issue but it looks almost transparent. I've been having this issue since at least the 13/2/2014 nightly, maybe earlier.
I would have posted to this thread but I have very few posts.
Relevant picture attached to show how it looks. I would appreciate it if you could repost it to the CM thread so more people can see it.

Maybe disable and re-enable the animation in xuimod?

Access power menu from lock screen (stock)

Hey all,
I had to replace my old Droid 4 with another due to hardware issues.
My newer Droid 4 is running the same build on the stock side, but for some reason I cannot get the power menu to work on the lock screen like it did with my older D4 (see pic).
My new D4 will flicker the power menu for a second but I can't use it to toggle sound/airplane modes anymore, any ideas what's different between the 2 phones? Thanks!
Here's how it works on my old D4:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
50 views and no ideas hmm, factory reset might be in order
Factory reset got it working again, feel free to delete this thread. Thanks. Was an issue with app settings in Prey.

In the application you are installing,
try to remove them in order
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There's no picture. If it started suddenly it must be from something you installed recently. So it really can't be that difficult to locate it.
