[Q] Home screen folder icon

Hi, just came back to Sony after about 16 months using Galaxy Nexus; still setting up and getting used to the new phone and the differences between pure Android and Xperia Android.
One thing that is bugging me is that the folder icons are ugly, using a 2x2 grid of miniature icons rather than the standard "stack" that the Nexus displayed. Is there any way to get back to the stack display from what is used at the moment? A couple of my folders only have 2 or 3 apps in them so look stupid when the icon is built for 4+ apps, and I just prefer the stack presentation.
Would prefer to stay on stock and not flash custom ROMs. I am rooted by BL still locked thanks to the guides in the Dev forum.
Cheers

Can probably be done by hacking the **** out of the stock Sony launcher.
I'd just use a different launcher. I use Apex launcher.

[Q] Widgets for lock screen in 4.2.2 for Xperia Z

Hi all, so after updating to the latest 4.2.2 version on my Xperia Z I noticed we can now customize the lock screen.
However, the choice of widgets are quite limited. I already installed dash clock.
Would like to know if anyone has found any nice widgets that they use in the lock screen??

[Q] Nova Launcher not transparent?

After the 4.3 update, the transparency for the navbar etc has been lost. I've checked a thread on this issue for the xperia z but I haven't found a solid answer to this problem.
What do I need to do? Stock 4.3 is disgustingly ugly in my opinion

Nothing.. Sony has removed, deleted, turned off the option for third party apps to use the transparancy of the notificationbar and softkeys.

Stock-based 4.3 is still better and more solid for me, I tried other custom Roms like CM and they are still buggy atm(hope they improve in time). They have low volume sound, random freezes, nav bar laggy, etc.
I'm particularly using this stock-based ROM -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312
And btw, my nova launcher has transparent status bar and nav bar on that stock-based ROM. Give it a try.

xperia z1 4.3 swipe lockscreen

Hi is there a way i can install the xperia z1 swipe lockscreen that was with the 4.3 version
Now my device is on android 4.4.4 and the swipe lockscreen is just some sparkles and i hate it
I want the one that says swipe up or down to unlock
That was with the 4.3 please

Here is the lockscreen from 4.3 1:1 like original. Enjoy.

That is an apk and if you use notific for example it has problems . Basically that is an overlay and not the actual lockscreen .
I am interested to replace the lockscreen with the ones from LG G2/3 because i find them nice but i wanna replace it completelly and not just an overlay because as i said i have problems with Notific and i really need Notific (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-notific-lockscreen-notification-t2804624)

[REQ] Replace touchwiz lockscreen with AOSP

Can anyone help me out with replacing the stock touchwiz lock screen with AOSP? I'm looking for the same lock screen found in the cm14/aicp/Resurrection roms. I couldn't get bluetooth to work in my new car with any of the custom roms, so I downgraded to stock QE2, rooted, and was able to get everything back to where I want it, except the lockscreen. And I hate the touchwiz lock screen.
I found an app called kkm locker, which is an OK work around for now, but it's just an overlay and not an actual lock screen, so it causes some issues.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
