first wait to see android 5 on nexus devices
in Sony way the enhanced GUI of stock android means Xperia firmware
+
Sony start to add additional features and setting (Like Samsung on Galaxy)
our opinion for new features can be Sony decision for android 5 upgrade...
:good:
I hope sony combine his Social Life app to Home like （samsung Note series swipe from left edge）and swipe the Google search bar can bring us to google now or make home direct Google Now and more more custom like deep changing inside setting and wishing new Icons/Apps/Features（Example double tap 2
wake /pen mode/glove mode）
Hope Sony give this Features

No social app on homescren. It's worst thing I ever seen (I hate HTC because of their blinkfeed) now I hate Samsung for their thing on my tablet.
If Sony does the same, I will never buy them.
If someone wants something like this, go ahead in app, don't force million of people to use such a stupid app for nothing.
And generally, we will not get anything. Except under the hood enchantment, we will only get new look driven by material design. No smart features and etc.

I get your anger electrash but i seriously dont understand why it bothers you that much when you can just use a custom launcher like nova or apex...
Afterall I have the same experience across all my phones... install nova launcher, customize my own widgets and i'm in my comfort zone... I dont have to deal with Samsung bloatware or htc or any kind of bloatware....
The thing that really annoys me is the customization samsung does to the settings page... but that's where AOSP roms come in
Because I use many widgets from Sony which work only on stock launcher.
And it's the best, because it's close to vanilla, lightwheight.
Call me old school, but Sony launcher is the best in android world.

that is why i say more customization on sony system if got side social life app also we can switch it to others apps like just swipe from left edge or turn the feature off

if u thinking open sociallife by swipe from left edge is a big thing and i don't think like that ，my idea is from google now launcher

I get it now. And yes, that is aceptable.
But dont get me wrong, we will not get it, like glove mode, pen mode or whatever.
I am pretty sure that we will not get double tap to wake (i use sony for long time, this is not in their nature to make this for older phone), but again little hope because it will be new kernel probably on lollipop as i understand, so maybe sony is little kind to give as this.
yea ，I have studied our Z1 Qualcomm's processor can use double tap 2 wake

if Sony add the script to kernel hope sony give this feature to his user

Eww. There is no touchwiz rom. But you can always flash ported TW apps and use the TW Theme if you have are running a rom with a theme chooser and mimic the UI.
Ummmm.... Why the fudge would you want to?

Theres actually a port of tw launcher from the s4 and some ported widgets too.

well to be honest, its not hard to search the forum or look and see there is no touchwiz due to framework issues etc, the closest you will get is changing the launcher and using a touchwiz based theme
Revolt rom. There is touch wiz launcher included.
you can get the launcher. but as far as i know you can't get the whole rom. maybe you can find a few ported apps

Starting with the lock screen, we can see a transparent status bar up top with white icons. There is a camera icon in the corner, that can be dragged to open the camera.
We can also notice the transparent nav bar at the bottom, new App Drawer icon, and an ugly Phone icon. The black background of the App Drawer is also gone.
One thing to notice here: there is no SMS app, so if the leaks are to be believed, SMS will be integrated into Hangouts app.
The current Location access screen will simply be called Location. On this screen the checkboxes labeled GPS Satellites and Wi-Fi & mobile network location have been removed and are replaced with more simplified options that replicate the same functionality: High accuracy, battery saving, and device sensors.

Dafuq? Nearly as ugly as the google play music icon
Nevertheless, I don't need that much leaked images. One image to flash would be enough
Sweet. Hopefully Tuesday will be a release date.
From those pictures the most interesting thing for me is the "recent location requests" list. All the rest is just minor UI changes.
Damn the app drawer is transparent...

i dont think that wil be a problem... with the pace and creativity you are working on the themes, you are sure to be added by SONY.
I'm sure people would write up letters for Sony saying how good the roms and development work you do are

I have an idea.. If we remember the timeshift burst -before uploading on the market- was need root to push it to system/app but now we can easily install it like any app from the market
So I think that if you uploaded your themes on the market it may be work smoothly

As Niaboc said - we need Sony to "allow" us and sign our themes.
We already tried to patch services.jar but nope, it won't work.
All files are copied well and are in the right place but it won't work.
So for now, only solution is to use rooted ROMs.
BTW, @niaboc79 - wwooooww
Very nice, you have great ideas, mate and, obviously, great design skills.
Could you, maybe, recommend 9.png editor? (besides eclipse package/ draw 9)
