Is it possible to have the the stock home screen scrolling continuously and can I use the Walkman app on other home screen lauchers?
There is a moded xperia launcher,use Google to search for it.
All sony widgets will not work on any other launcher.

Hi,
I have a Xperia TL and just flashed LT30p. I really like the Sony default home manager, but one issue I have is that I can't have more than 5 home screens.
Since home screen is the only place I can create folders to organize different apps, plus some widget I'd like to load, 5 home screen really isn't enough.
Is there a way to add number of home screen?
P.S. I have not rooted my phone and am not planning to at the moment, so it would need to be non-root solution.

Non root option means no sony homescreen with more than 5 homescreens.
You can add a third party launcher but you wont be able to run sony apps like timescape as a widget on them
Root option you can.
You can use the gx launcher mod from themes and apps, it lets you add up to 11 homescreens

Thanks for the prompt response. That is unfortunate Sony didn't make an option to increase # of screen like other launchers. I wonder if I can extract the apk from system image and tweak some configuration files to get there...

Yes, you can. Or you could try putting the gx homescreen mood files into an .ftf file and flashing that. I say try as I dont know if it will work.
There is a way of pulling, decompiling, editing, recompiling and pushing the frameworkres and systemUI apk's but it can not be done from the phone without root, you will need to mess with the .ftf file and flash it in flashtool. But that may break the signatures....

EDIT: Not sure what you mean by timescape manager..
I probably use the wrong terminology here... I mean the home launcher comes with Xperia.
Also, I searched on the internet and found some mod apk which has more screens, but there was no instructions how to do it myself. Can you please point me to the instruction page if there is any?

Hi I use next launcher and regardles of what widgets I use they crash after a certain amount of time but if I switch to using stock Touchwiz they work fine. Any suggestions as I don't want to use the stock launcher

could be compatibility issues of that widget with the launcher you prefer to use
have you considered contacting the dev for that launcher or widget?
Yes I have, as I purchased the launcher but have yet to receive a reply. I have tried all the good clock widget ie. Go weather ex, beautiful widets and so on. Eveny FB widget, power amp and my xbox live widget crash

Hello devs!
In Sony Xperia Z, to change lockscreen wallpaper you should go to settings>personalization>lockscreen and then choose xperia wallpapers or picture from album app. You can't go to album app and choose image for lockscreen wallpaper. The problem is I'm using QuickPic app and I want to delete stock album app. But because of this, I can't.
Is there any mod to make choosing lockscreen wallpaper similar to homescreen wallpaper?
Can someone make this mod?
С уважением, mmurad
yeah would llove to see this.. some way to set lockscreen wallpaper from the app itself. its a pain really.

No ideas? Really? I don't think that it should be very hard for developers
Had a quick search online and in xda but couldn't find much, few posts on a forum elsewhere.
I'm running nova launcher and can change my home wallpaper with ease. The lock screen is a different matter.
From settings > personalisation > lock screen
I can change to any of the standard Sony wallpapers, if I try and use my own it never changes. Anyone else found this? Have I missed something obvious :s
On .534 as no update for me yet, and no requirement to root yet.
i think this problem on nova launcher. becuase i use go launcher i can change my own pict on lock screen.
try go launcher, i very reccoment go launcher + go notification. with little setting your phone will fast and smooth(i has been use apex after try go ex, i never looking to other >< just my oponion.)

Nah, just cleared the defaults and rebooted. Using the standard Sony home, still can't select any other 3rd party or user wallpaper.
I'll try go in a bit, but if even stock software can't change it then it looks to be a bug?
Edit: no change, didn't think it would. Prefer nova over go from that short test but something to play around with.
Looks like an android issue than launcher
any locksceen app installed?
Sent from my C6902 using xda app-developers app
None at all
I use pattern unlock and the stock lock screen
try to use swipe unlock?
but i has try pattern, i can change my lockscreen bg.
may be something wrong on your setting/rom.
sorry...

Yep, tried that as well. It's stock and not rooted. I've no want to root yet.
Which fw are you on? 534?
Nothing major, I just like to know why Somethings not working etc
factory reset, if not help, flash firmware again...

I'm also running nova launcher and stock .534 but i haven't had a problem switching wallpapers on the lockscreen. I've used camera generated photos and zedge wallpapers.

Sorted it.
I use quickpic as an album replacement app. Cleared the defaults and use the Sony album to crop then pictures and working as it should.
Something between quickpic and the os which didn't talk well I guess.

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.
