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?

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 all xoomers out there. The issue I'm having is this: once I launch the ADWlauncher ex app obviously the home screens change and everything changes including theme. No problem so far. The issue is whenever I hit the home button from whatever screen I'm currently on it defaults back to the stock launcher. So then I have to open the app drawer and launch ADW again to reapply its settings and theme. How do I correct this annoying feature?

Install launcher switcher from the android market (its free) then clear launcher defaults and then finally select adw as your default.
OK I will try that out and see how it goes...

I agree...the other option is to use titanium or bloat freezer to freeze your stock home app.
or find the launcher in setting >apps and clear defaults. Should allow u you to re select adw

Hi,
I use Nova prime for some time, and I like it..
However, it now and then crashes. I don't know what the cause of the crashes is...
Since the last update there seem to be less crashes...
I made it a system app, and added an entry in build.prop so it stays in memory, but still the crashes are there. Very annoying.....
Apex gives me also the layout I like, but it stutters while switching homescreens, unless you remove the labels from the icons.
(I am on LRQ, with Hydracore OC, but on stock kernel the same happened)
I use the calender widget and google reader widget from Android Pro widgets, and a clock from Beautiful Widgets.
Anyone knows how I can get rid of the Nova crashes, or the stutter of Apex?
Thanks!

Apex under Advanced settings is keep in memory option, try that. Also with Titanium Backup you can convert Apex or Nova to a system app. I have had some success with those in the past. I found LRQ to be a little too buggy for my tastes.
I am using the beta version and dunn have any crashes. Maybe you can try it also ?
Yes it's true. the problem solve when used beta version
if on custom safe kernel, reboot recovery and fix permissions. That might fix the closures.
If on JB then probably due to memory leak. Reboot device.
Laginess can be caused by errors and processes running a lot. Check logcat for stuff.

I have tried Apex beta and it still stutters switching home screens unless you disable the icon labels or use tablet mode (is without labels)
App drawer is smooth just as the none beta.

Until now very satisfied with the Nova beta. No crashes anymore!

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...
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
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?

goto the themes and app section and follow the instructions to flash the gx homescreen mod.

Every time I restart my phone, it forgets all the home screen settings. When it starts back up, it asks which launcher I want to use (I prefer ADW EX), and when it gets to the home screen, all widgets and wallpapers are gone. I thought it might have something to do with ADW, so I restarted the phone, and chose the stock launcher. Again, all widgets were gone and the wall paper was changed.
Any clue why this is happening?
Mine is similar on cyanogenmod and removes the messaging icon after every reboot.

Weird. I'm totally stock and not rooted.
Does anyone know whats up with the wallpaper scrolling? I noticed the sense 5 launcher doesn't support it, but i cant even get nova to scroll either, its very strange... Any one else?
EDIT: Landscape wallpaper from the play store does work but its pretty wonky... Wallpaper keeps scrolling even when theres no more home screens. Does anyone know why third party launchers wont scroll either? Ive tried many.

get landscape wallpaper from google play
Wallpaper scrolling works on nova.
Go to nova settings -> Desktop -> Wallpaper Scrolling and choose 'Force'.
Ya i got it to work, the first time i enabled the force scroll i think i cropped it in landscape with nova wallpaper which doesnt allow scrolling. Thanks.
