[Q] A rather trivial question regarding ROM Brandings - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
So I wanted to ask, is there a difference of icons b/w the ROMs available? I mean, I flashed the Hong Kong 5.02 ROM, but I heard somewhere that HK ROM has bigger icons. And they do seem a bit oversized. Is it really so, or is it just Lollipop that has bigger ones? Sorry if this is too pointless to make a thread about, I couldn't find this info anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Not related to branding it's the way Sony made it. You can download another launcher like nova or apex which will allow you to have smaller icons

Widgets?

Where are all the cool widgets gone? The likes of tasks and stocks that I used to use aren't present in sense 5. How come?! I mean even the likes of the gallery widget and the mail and messages ones are gone too.

HTC decided nobody uses widgets so they didn't make many for sense 5
This sucks.
I miss SMS widget, News widget where I could use any news source I wanted.
Blinkfeed is piece of junk.

Sense 5 4.2.2 leak for the Butterfly has the sms and mail widgets plus others and they look great just like the rest of sense5.
I was hoping when we got 4.2.2 we'd get them, doesn't look like it.
Maybe someone can port them across?

I find this hilarious because that implies that people puts more apps on there homescreen but still they only give you a 4x4 grid. Dumbest thing ever. It's the only reason I won't use the sense launcher. Well I'd still probably use action launcher pro because it's a beast of a launcher.

You can buy it using a VPN app while removing your sim.
Sorry, but I had to close this thread. Not sure if it was just a theme "share" or what. In any case, the xda theme policy allows for paid themes to be posted but only when a free version is also made available to the xda community.
Thanks!

[Request] Droid Ultra circle widget/launcher

Hello, I have a request that might not be possible. I've tried every circle widget/launcher combo I can find but cannot find one that works fully. Most of the launchers work they just need to be resized for our resolution. However not a single one of the circle widgets work. They always say incompatible 3rd party launcher even tho it's a moto launcher. I'll upload the one I've used up until lollipop broke it and if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Xwidget? There are many circle widgets (llok like Motorola Atria and other devices). They are all free.
Out of curiosity is this what you fine people are looking for?

The launcher that comes with the XT1575 is the Google Now Launcher. Hence the reason the circle widgets are incompatible. You would need to use the launcher the widget came with.
nope that is nova launcher and I'm pretty sure it would work with google now
Confirming that it works with stock Google Now launcher also just no default way to size it correctly....
I'm still assuming that it's the other one most people want
but anyways here is the link to the nexus 6 forum method

Works great.
With the new Turbo 2 and Maxx2 coming out Friday, maybe we can get a direct port? They appear to have the widget in the pictures.

Can anybody extract the APK, or port it to the Edge+?

True. Completely agree.
Strange, since this is done by Samsung that it won't inherit theme settings.
For now I'm trying to "copy" the theme while changing the colors - It looks ok, and I really like the possibility to add widgets to the lockscreen (even having to swipe down to access it). The lost of quick accessing the camera is a drawback

Overlays?

Just wondering if anyone is working on overlays for skinning and theming various elements of the Note8's UI. I'm particularly interested in a shorter navbar height, and I tried applying the ones posted in the S8+ Themes forum, but they don't work for this device. Thanks in advance.

So far just the status bar partially themed (center clock), quick settings panel icons only. Nothing with Swift or balance. Of system UI. I sent error logs to the Telegram group in hopes they get things sorted out.
