Is not an issue, use Nova Launcher, is free. Not all the Launcher are compatible with all the widgets. Already tested.

Thanks for your help. I was able to fix that problem. Do you have any idea if we can move apps from Internal Storage to SD Card without rooting the phone.

At the moment we can't. The only way, which I don't tested yet is to mount a folder, with a specific app which I don't remember right now, in SD where you will put data apps. But actually I don't like like that so I will wait when come out the fix.

Download Home Switcher from the market.
Sorry guess I should have been clearer - I can't get back to see the market. It's like it gone back to factory.
just burn autonooter to an sd card and run it. you should then be able to get your rooted apps
To a different SD card? Or can I use the one in the NC?

It's not in the extras menu? (I think it's extras, I don't have my NC with me at the moment).

I too believe its under extras. You should be able to access the market from there as I can't see anyway you could remove root from switching wallpapers (also you dont need to switch to the BN launcher to do that, just hit the little arrow pointing up at the bottom and then settings.
Do you have access to ADB? If so, just install it that way, then go into your extras and launch from there...

menu problem with s6500

Hello! I am not sure if i'm posting in the correct section but this is the only one for samsung galaxy mini 2, so i do.
I am facing a problem with my device. I go to menu, edit the icons, move them around as i would like them to be, then click save.
I go to home screen, then enter the menu, everything is fine, the icons are still the way i left them.
BUT when i turn of the phone and turn it on afterwards the icons have lost their arrangement i made to them.
Anyone else has the same problem?
I would really appreciate the help, cause I bought the phone like 9 days ago, on the 2nd day i gave it to vodafone (where i bought it from) for service, the description of the problem was very accurate, but today i got it back, the service description said "upgraded, the problem is over" but the problem still remains...
Thank you in advance!

do you installed your apps into your ext.sdcard? if yes,
1. get the faster microsd, or
2. install all your apps into phone or
3. get a 3rd party launcher, e.g go launcher
hope this help

Wallpaper changing after restart

Hello people, yesterday I received my Mi 9t Pro and so far I'm quite happy with it. One problem I'm facing is the following: I'm using pixel 3 live wallpapers via Google background app and whenever I restart the phone the lockscreen wallpaper is going back to the stock one. Home screen stays the correct one.
Is anyone facing similar issues or has any idea how to solve this?
Edit: sorry for wrong topic! Thanks to the mods for moving it!
Hey, I had exactly the same problem and I read a solution somewhere that actually worked for me :
Go into settings / manage apps then look for "wallpaper carousel" or something like that and uninstall it.
And that's it, hope it works for you.

Thank you for the answer. I can not find anything similar to wallpaper carousel in my app selection... I might have removed this already with debloating I think!
Not in my indian variant .. but some themes will cause such errors ..
Please goto stock theme.. and check it back
Note : don't uninstall themes ?

Then I remember reading a few times that there is a problem sometimes with MIUI and third party app managing lockscreens.
Have you tried to set it up via the miui gallery app instead of Google app ?

Alternative widget for Photos/Video?

Just got my XZ1c today, and I'm pretty happy with it, but it's missing the Photo/Video widget that I've used on my previous Xperia Compacts. Anyone know of a similar widget that I can use?

Are you on the stock rom?
There is a similar widget built into the default Lineage OS gallery.
I'm on the stock rom, and don't plan to root this phone for awhile. The last time I looked for a similar app on the Play Store (I was hoping to use Nova Launcher), I couldn't find anything like it. I had one page in my stock launcher dedicated to the Photo/Video widget.

Try this out:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...ry-1-1-40030-3-android-apk-download/download/
See if you can get the widget working from this gallery app. This is the Lineage OS one I mentioned before.
Thanks! Works, but not like the old one...
The old version would display one picture or video at a time, was scrollable, and clicking on it would take you to that object in the Gallery app. It can be resized to fill the whole page. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help, though!

Happy to help.
My last suggestion would be to look for an older version of the Sony Album app on Apk Mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/album/album-9-8-a-0-8-release/
Find the version that still has the features and see if it works on Android 9.
No luck so far...
Could it be possible to copy it from Z1c or Z5c? It was a system app.

You might be able to find the same version of the album app on APK mirror that is on the z5c. You should be able to see the version number of the app in the app info page in the settings.
Or try extracting it from the z1 or z5 if you still have them. I am not a developer so I don't know if this will work for you, but I usually use "my apk" from the playstore to create an APK from apps on my phone. Then you can try to install that APK on the XZ1c.
my apk link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Awesome, I'll give that a shot. Thank you!
Animated Photo Widget + does the trick!
