I don't know about flashable zips but there are xposed modules which can change it. (sadly there are only 4 different buttons at the module I use )

Decompile home apk and do whatever you want then. Decompile with advanced apk tool. Don't forget about superuser mod.

The easiest way is use a custom launcher like nova, then download an icon pack from the appstore and apply it, you don't even need root

I use Nova Launcher. You can download it from the market several icon themes that you can then choose to install as you like.

I guess it will. You may have to uninstall existing stock launcher first. Just make sure you have another launcher installed when you remove it

Hi
would you share with us. Would be nice.
@lonestride
I think no but haven't tested it.
I think after installation you have to push the home button. Then you will get
a screen which launcher you will use.

love the stock launcher

PLZ back up your home app before trying this.i dont have Xperia Z to test this but iam certain this will work.move to system/app replace the home set permissions to rw/r/r then reboot.home will not show up if you dont reboot.also having another launcher installed in case this one FC is a good idea

Changing Fonts

This is so frustrating..
i could not find a way to change system font in setting, it looks like Z1 does not have option at all.
Does anyone know how to change fonts? i wish i could just install font.apk files like galaxy series!!
You can't.
I have many flashable fonts but you have to be rooted and have recovery for that or manually change one file at the other.

Use ROM Toolbox Pro to change your fonts. Thats how I did it. Yes... you need to be rooted.

Everything is working but you have to be rooted.
And stock ROM, without root just don't want to apply custom themes.
We have exactly the same problems on Z1.

Or media - it'll give same results.
But there's no need for that.
If you're rooted you can just install it or move it to system/app and restart.
For some reason it works only on rooted devices.

@iamkani and @shehabskull
you can read @funky0308 tutorial and i will modified most of the steps are correct for decompiling but to decompile zip files it pretty different procedure as you cannot modify the .9.png without knowing the bordering in order to do that take any apk as example and copy resources.arsc , androidmanifest and res folder from android.zip to that dummy apk which has meta inf folder only nothing else and copy the said files and decompile that apk than only you would be able to modify the .9.png and @funky0308 method wont work for .9 png which has bordering its actually very easy once you get used to it and u have to decompile all the zip folder in the same way else you would not have perfect and elegant modification and for normal png @funky0308 method wil work
