Xperia home crashes - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got Google now as a launcher. Xperia home crash messages appear sometimes. If I switch to Xperia home launcher it crashes constantly. Unusable. What to do? Have erased data and cache on Xperia home. No luck.

It has never crashed for me. Maybe you have a bad widget?

I only have one widget, it is Sonos. As soon as I removed it Xperia home is usable again! Damn, I need that widget! Thanks for the tip!

Does the widget only crash Xperia Home or does it crash Google Now Launcher aswell?

Just the Xperia home launcher, but it displayed Xperia home crashes occasionally when I had Google now launcher active. Don't know why really. But now I have Sonos widget active again. No problems for a few hours. Maybe just removing it and adding it again fixed the problem.

I have this problem since the Lollipop update on my Z3C.

[REQUEST] Haptic feedback on app drawer icon for our Xperia home launcher.

Ok, is this even possible on our Xperia home launcher?
I just got used to other launchers wherein there's a haptic feedback whenever you press the app drawer icon. Our Xperia launcher is smoother than any other 3rd party launchers out there(that's why I prefer it) so it would be nice if this feature/mod can be integrated on our Xperia home launcher also. TIA.
Or if anybody can point me where to start, I'm willing to give this mod a try myself.

[Q] How to use sony widgets after freezing stock xperia home?

I decided to use another launcher in place of the stock xperia one
so I also froze it with rom toolbox
In this case some of Sony provided widgets e.g. weather, disappear from the widgets menu or list in the app drawer
Is it possible to recover them and make them usable with other launchers somehow?
Thanks a lot

Not as far as I know. I can't use them on Apex Launcher or Nova either (even without disabling the sony launcher).
You cannot use sony widgets on custom launchers

Some of them do work on nova
for instance the camera widgets and some from walkman
but not the music controls and others
kinda bummer....

Same here with Next Launcher, but better sacrifice some widget than use the stock launcher which is very ugly.
There is a sony walkman widget in the playstore that I use with nova, it's not quite as pretty but gets the job done.

I haven't found one for the weather which I like but HD widgets is just as nice

Walkman small app

I formatted my Sony xperia SP recently and got the android 4.3 installed from Sony service center. Since then I have been trying to find the Walkman small app all across the Google play store, but did not find it anywhere. Can someone please give me a link for the Sony Walkman small app?
You can use walkman small app by selecting from one of the walkman widgets in Add small apps from Widget option which converts widgets to small apps
See screenshot, its the second option, and select walkman widget.
Sure
Widget is very convenient .

Hi! Thanks for reply!
I tried to install both xperia xperia launcher launcher is z2 z3.
In both cases, the application crashes immediately.
I tried to make clear date on the home 3 launcher (launcher stock droid), but even that did not work
It will be one of my sets but I want the weather widget animated stock xperia but it does not work as long as you do not install the home xperia.
Some think of any solution?
Many thanks again

Blue shade in recent apps?

Anyone else notice that when viewing the recent apps the screen takes a blue shade?
These screens are in the recents screen and the home screen.
Bug with 3rd party launcher. Don't even try to use split screen, you will have to restart launcher.

Huawei home ?
You can uninstall huawei Launcher (if you have another one) it solves the problem.

Looks like the latest update has fixed the blue shade in 3/4 times LOL but the split window is still a mess. I use Nova launcher anyone found one that works that is NOT the pre-installed home?
I use square home launcher and it works well.
I have the old multitask screen but, it's not a problem for me.
I've uninstalled huawei launcher.
