Hi all,
As the title suggests I'd like to remove the stock lock screen so I can use the lg g2 one I've installed.
I'm thinking if I delete the Sony one then I'll more than likely be left with the stock android one, is there a way to remove all of them (minus errors) so that the lg one is left to run on its own.

You must delete or move file : /system/app/XperiaLockScreen.apk
or you my disable xperia lockscreen in Xposed "Gem Xperia Xposed"

Is there anyway to hide non used apps?
Will there be a option in a future update to move apps to sd?
Thanks

Root, then remove bloatware.
Use app2sd or similar app from the play store to move apps to sd card. Root is needed
Doesn't rooting the device break the camera though??

Root won't break camera but will void your warranty! If your'e a first time android user, I suggest you don't root as any **** ups might result in you just having an expensive brick.. Get used to android for a few months before you do any of this stuff.. Unlocking bootloader will cause the camera to break but in your case you don't need to do that.

root will NOT void your warrenty because you can always unroot and leave no trace that the phone was ever rooted.
So you don't have to unlock the bootloader. To be able to root?.

Nope. I think all you need is an application called "VRoot" works for the Z1 as well. As the program is in Chinese, there's a thread about how to use it here. It's also got the download links and stuff
No,
Please read the guides in the dev section, Your questions are answered there
Ok guys, thanks for the info

Just so you know most bloated system apps can be disabled from your settings/apps/all without rooting and this removes the icon, and plus side you can always re-enable if you ever need it afterwards

you first need to enable developer mode by setting>about phone>press 10 times on model number. You will then have developer mode enabled, go back and go to developer options and enable usb debugging from there

Use a fileexplorer(Rootexplorer) and go to system/build.prop and change it with the text editor.
Try that first for the icon.

You have not full access to change things on the root of your phone. It doesn't affect the NFC but if you want the icon back you must be fully rooted to change it in your build.prop.I think NFC is working on your phone without showing the NFC icon,do you have a NFC tag to test it?

Hey bro i googled some ways to edit the Build.prop thing that you were saying.. I downloaded an app that directly edits the text of that build.prop and it asked for a permission in SuperSU and i granted it.. Then i looked for the NFC icon that you said and changed it to True.. After restarting.. THE NFC SHOWS UP! thanks man! I am now running . 757 Nut's rom Cheers! :thumbup:

Ok, have the Xposed Framework installed allready for gravity box and gem xperia, will try the superuser mod. Let's see if it works!

Be warned that the "superuser mod" disables signature verification in your rom. This is a very bad idea and a huge security risk. I see this superuser mod recommended everywhere and I believe it's part of a very popular rom and nobody ever explains the risks involved with using it.
I'd advise using the Xposed module "DisableSignatureCheck" to temporarily disable signature verification when installing modded system apps and immediately enable signature verification again afterwards.
Edit - I apologise for not reading correctly (it's early here lol). I incorrectly thought you were going to flash the Superuser mod. I see that it's also part of the Xperia Xposed module.
However you enable it, it's still very important that you make sure you disable the Superuser mod after you've used it. ?

I read allready about the superuser mod few weeks ago, didn't tried it till now. I'm happy so far with my ( finally updated ) rooted clean .230 fw, LB. The widget isn't sooo important, but would be nice to have it again.
Maybe some smart guy will port the widget from 4.3 for 4.4, i'm personally not able to do this. Let's see!

Don't get me wrong. It's fine to temporarily disable signature verification to install a system app that's from a trusted source like this, then enable it again afterwards. I'm saying that it's not wise or safe at all to have it disabled permanently. ?
I just noticed another rom has been released with this superuser mod integrated, with no mention of what it is or the implications of it to enable users to make an informed decision whether to use the rom or not. There are potentially hundreds of users of these roms that are unaware that they're using unsecured roms on their devices. ?

I had read somewhere that 4.4.4 is defaulted to use ART runtime. Can someone install and check https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magicalboy.artchecker
ps I installed xposed framework, so now i know it forced to Dalvik. Not sure was it ART earlier or not.
Nope.

Can't ART be enabled by changing the specific runtime line in the build.prop? Or am I dreaming right now?

No. It's an option in Developer settings, but HTC, Sony, Samsung and LG removed the code for it, or buried it very, very deeply
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
Why can't someone prepare flashable zip for stock ROMs. I've been using ART on nexus since a while now. And even there's a way to enable it on HTC one.
Well, according to this post at BGR, it should be possible -- however, I cannot see the option to change runtime on my 4.4.4 Generic FR .108
Anyone had luck with this? Perhaps one of the other customizations?

I read somewhere that switching ART in xperia causes bootloop
I did a browse through the .108 firmware using root explorer. The ART library isn't in /system/lib. You can try switching all you like, Android just switches back to Dalvik (Yes, I tried it )

Code is not removed, it's just disabled, you can re-enable it but that is meaningless, phone will be bootloop when switch to ART.
