I think it's awesome. Sony always found a nice balance between stock and timescape.

The existing kitkat drawer with material colors and animations would have been better.

The UI of Lollipop is same for all xperia phones. We are discussing this topic by witnessing lollipop on z2 and z3. Hope you got it.

OP is delusional, the Lollipop notification drawer beats the boring and plain BAD drawer from Kitkat

I'm not comparing drawer between kitkat and lollipop. Just saying should have been something different rather than stock.

And why? Andrioid 4.4's pure NP(notification pulldown) is a lot better than the Sony variant. And the NP in Lollipop is better than both of them. No need to change the perfection.

I think there is no problem with the Notification Pulldown menu with regards to the functioning. Its just not mixes well with the Sony's UI.
They should have included the sony style icons, some coloring matching to the theme or something that looks good with the Sony's UI. However, I hope there will be some mods coming up soon after the complete global rollout of the L update for the Z series.

[Req]Transparent stock widgets

Could someone bring out transparent stock widget?
I'm specially interested in the Walkman widget, it is transparent already, but not enough to my liking.

[Q] Nova launcher notification bar

i used the Xperia stock launcher of my Z1 a few times and I find it to be limiting. That is why switched to Nova, but I want to retain the opaque/transparent notification bar of the stock launcher.
How can I solve this?
You can choose transparent notification bar in Nova launcher settings. It's inbuilt to Nova.
Cheers!!

Even with the check box in nova settings.

Not sure mate. I have an s4 and nova free version. I have checked transparent notification in settings and it works here. Try contacting the developer.

We need to wait for an update (Nova) for our devices like what they did for the Xperia Z before.

It wont work unless the rom API supports it. Apparently the xperia interface doesnt, so it wont work.
Yeah it does, Xperia Z and z1 both do it, I have both handsets

I can confirm, the navigation bar is transparent after converting Nova to System Apps via Titanium Backup.

Anyway to get AOSP lock screen on 4.4.2?

Just a quick request. I've not seen a mod that enables it but does anyone know of a working mos that enables the AOSP or any other lockscreen on 4.4.2.
The new lock animation is pretty ugly. The sprites are tiny and underwhelming.
Cheers

Using z1 compact but i'm pretty sure it's the same issue. When deleting the stock system app i get only the AOSP ring, but for example, when music's playing, i get the same stock xperia widget, no fullscreen albumart as in aosp lockscreen. Any idea on how to solve this? Any other files i should delete?

On deletion of the lockscreen will the AOSP one just appear? I'm attempting to avoid a reflash due to errors within the rom.
Cheers.
EDIT: Can't seem to find it in system/app
Nothing appears to have the word lockscreen or anything similar. ?

system/app
XperiaLockscreen.apk
Just rename it to

Then you can always change it back if you want

It's been a long time, but I am also wondering the same thing, downgraded my Sony Z1C back to 4.4 but I find the current lockscreen bad looking and really laggy. Is there a way to achieve what the OP has asked?

Looks just like my N6, except the status bar is different on my N6.
Scratch the post above, now it looks like my N6, I forgot to apply the lollipop icon theme.
