Thats not that good then is there any kind of mod that will alow you to use the same live Wallpaper as your wallpaper on home launcher
You can use live wallpaper with xposed and gravity box, also you will need to download GEM module and with some settings make live wallpaper posible on aosp lockscreen, its really nice, im using it.
Ok whats the setting called I already have gem xposed an gravity and can it be used on stock sony lockscreen not aosp
Ive done it through gem now it needed an update but I wanted live wallpaper on stock lockscreen and if that cant be done then is there a way to have a different live wallpaper on aosp lockscreen compared to the one on xperia home
Hello everyone,
I am new to modifying stock launchers.
(that means I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE with rom's / rooting / xposed framework, etc)
For the last few days I have been looking for a way to get a bigger grid size for my Stock Xperia Launcher.
I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher.
In the past I have modifying my Samsung phones (using 3rd party launchers like TSF Shell / Nova Launcher / Widgetlocker, UCCW, Missed it!, etc).
Now I have my Sony Xperia Z1 for 2 months. I used Nova Launcher + Widgetlocker. Then yesterday my WiFi didn't had internet access anymore. So I contacted Sony and I had to reset my phone.
So I start from a new fresh installation now. I was impressed with what Sony had done with Xperia Launcher within these 2 months, I decided I want to use this launcher (no 3rd party launchers)
So now I want to use my Stock Launcher and be able to get a bigger grid size and I want my dock to have 7 instead of 5 icons.
I did some research but I found it confusing so now I need help
On XDA forums I see people talking about using Xposed framework.
Can someone explain me step to step how to used this Xposed framework?
I saw the video that XDA developers made regarding Xposed framework. Which is very clear to me
But how do you implant modules? Where you find these modules?
I just need a bigger Grid size and I want a 7 icon dock, and that is it. My phone I use in Portrait mode mostly, only when Facebooking / Surfing internet / Watching movies I will use Landscape mode.
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks for the reply.
I will try it later on today when I reach home, I am at work now.
1 More question:
When I try this out, will my live Xperia wallpaper still work, in both Lock Screen + Home Screen?
( I am using the live wallpaper that comes standard with the stock Xperia, named Xperia. I use this wallpaper in both Lock Screen + Home Screen )
That is the one with the waves that changes color after lots of side scrolling )

Yes the live wallpaper still works on lock and home screen.
work and the gem module
its what I use for a 7 icon dock and a 5x4 homescreen and 5x5 drawer
Is there a simple way of changing some of the stock Xperia icons (diaper, messaging etc.) without resorting to rooting or a different launcher? Rather than mess with Nova I'd rather just change 3-4 icons on the Xperia launcher and be done with it. Not sure if an icon editing app like Beautiful Icon Styler works with Xperia or not (and it sounds like Lollipop will break it anyway)

Use icon changer from playstore.Root is root needed
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en
u can use Desktop VisualizeR to create customized-icon shortcut to homescreen

Icon changer free, no root or specialties, just install and change away - download an icon pack you like through the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad
Are you willing to change all the icons One by one? Thanks for suggestion but it takes too much....
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the home button icon, i.e rather than a picture of a little house, have say a car, or writing like "Xperia", or anything else?
Also, is it possible to just change the app icons, rather than having a launcher to change the whole home screen like Nova Launcher. I like the way I have arranged my apps and widgets etc, and I use my own pictures for backgrounds, I would just like to use different icons for the apps?
Thanks - I am new to the forum so apologies - I am not a developer, have not rooted my phone and don't know what to do with apk ?

O.K, let's simplify this...
Root device and install xposed framework.
Install Xperia xposed module and you'll be able to change home button/icon.
Install Unicon, xposed module to change apps icons.
Download themes from market (for ADW launcher) and use those themes icons.
- You'll get it once you open unicon -
There are other ways to change app icons and home button, decompiling apk and change ongs (assets) in xxhdpi folder but without root there's no chance to do that...
And yeah...you are in wrong section buddy..
Use Q&A for this types if threads.
You can change the home/back etc. buttons by changing your xperia specific theme in the appearance section in your settings. I personally have applied an Android L theme and have the official 5.0 square, triangle and circle.
As for the icons, I don't think so, unless you're willing to install a custom launcher. I recommend nova, you can categorize your apps just as efficiently if not more with the Prime version.
This is the way to go if you don't want to root your device as the upper poster suggested.
The best way is changing theme apperance.
There's an app on the Play Store called Softkeyz which dies exactly that.

"unicon" app (xposed module) can change app icons in xperia home launcher. download any icon pack and apply it
``
you can change it by rooting your phone , and xposed installed . then you use module 'xStana'{Recommended} or 'XPERIA/AOSP NavBar Button' for the softkey , you can change what you like .
Hi everyone!
I wonder if I am the only one to think that the Home.apk could use some more app rows and columns...
I had the Xperia L before having the Z3C and found this for it:Extended stock Home Launcher
I tried to install the modded apk for Xperia L but the phone won't "update" the app...
Can any developer take a look on it and try to modify the Z3C home.apk to have some more rows, columns and landscape view?
Thanks in advance and tell me what you think guys!
