I've never been so glad to be on the old version of Android. Lollipop is the first update that seemed to take away more useful features than it added.

Agreed, but material design is a bit overrated to me. The colors almost look to cartoon-like and I feel like a simple theme could have been applied to kitkat to give us the same look.
Anyway, that's the great thing about Android. If you don't like it, you can always change it.

[Q] Request 4.42 stock stripped

Can anyone suggest or help me to make a rom based on stock kit kat firmware for locked bootloaders. A plain one without any apk that can be downloded. NO SONY APPS oh and with a plain google lockscreen with working wallpaper in settings. just a basic camera, and without any xposed mod etc. would be perfect if it was totally black also in settings. I have all this on my xperia t, but not on z yet. Dont care about z2 ports etc, just a basic rom ie 400 mb or so. any input greatly appreciated.

You mean you want a special rom made for you?
Maybe its bit hard thing to make a ROM but you can talk to some developers like @Rajeev and tell him what you want
Yes basically a rom with only the bare minimum of apps and features to make the phone work, built for speed. Everything else can always be added later. I will ask Rajeev but I think he is busy with 2 roms.
To make the settings completely black is it just a case of decompiling the framework res apk and changing most to holo dark? Or is there more to it.

Just wait for my Ultimate BlackXZ v1 tomorrow.. Then download it. After that remove all stuffs that u don't like.. U know u can make a rom for Z with only 367 mb Size..
Making a Black Themed apk is not just changing colors xml.. U should spend some hours.. There are pngs. U need to theme it to White from Black. U need to look in Layout Folder. Lot of works..
Hey thanks Rajeev, I will wait and try your rom but alot of devs call their roms black when they are grey, the one I have on my XT is my pals darklord and it is truly black, this is what I would like to have. I would also like to learn how to go about this :-B

[REQ] Transparent Navbar system wide.

Hey modders, I was wondering if you can make a transparent/translucent Navbar that I can use throughout apps, I know about the immersive mode.
I feel Iv looked almost everywhere with no result as to why it can't be done or hasn't I would settle for it changing with my apps but I can't use xposed since I'm on 5.1
Thanks in advance for any help/info.
Nexus Titan 6
Guess that's a nope.
Yes, for me that's a feature that I would live to have,UV been asking about this for awhile now and I never get a answer. I don't understand why this can't be done or if devs just don't wanna tackle it. There's a modual in xposed that let's us fad the navbar but it just come back,I don't like the fade feature. I would gladly donate if someone would make this happen. Let's start a petition lol.....

Yea man, same here there's just not enough people liking the magic of it. Personally I think it adds more screen relestate for viewing. I have talked to some guys over on G+ in bitsyko layers project and apparently he is doing it. But you'll have to use layers.

You can use ultimate dynamic navbar pro to do this. I currently have my navbar transparent. Also, it expands your desktop when you make your navbar transparent so you really do have more screen real estate. Unfortunately, it won't let me post the link for it but you can find it in the play store

Iv tried it. It uses more system resources, also it has only made the whole navbar disappear lol
I'm looking for the stock navbar with no black background. Just like on the homescreen.

You can do that with udn, it hides your real navbar and put a an exact clone to replace it. Then you go to theme and make the background clear

Bro we are asking for a STOCK navbar with a transparent background meaning that black covering the text behind the buttons is gone. Just as it would be on the homescreen and recents menu lol.

I understand that lol. The navbar I posted is UNB's basic theme but is customizable if you purchase it and can be transparent. It's obviously not a stock hack or anything but I was confirming it's an identical solution that works for 5.1, assuming you're rooted.

I bought it awhile back, didn't do what I wanted an had 4.4 Navbar icons didn't enjoy it.
Using layers the customize my Navbar icons.
Guys, is there something new? I also want to disable the black color behind the buttons
woookay now.
1 : The devs don't owe us, anything. They can build whatever the hell they want. Plus, most roms now are some sort of kang of another. Why else would most roms have pertty much the same features then?
2: This is all on the assumption that apps don't theme the navbar, and that they have coded the app to display at where the navbar is. I've done a fully transparent status and navbar build for my nexus 4 and while it works fine on launcher, it would bug out with artifacts when using other apps or it just returned to grey.
BUT, devs are amazing so they could probably make this work. However, there are much more important things to be done before modifying on the looks of android. So please, just be patient or try and do it yourself.
Obviously you guys don't feel the way I do.... I hate the navbar. I don't use it. Such a waste of screen. Have you tried something good like pie or an alternative to the navbar? I'd suggest that. But to each his/her own.

I like pie, but I also enjoy the navbar since its faster click wise for me. I would rather
There be light up soft keys. And the 6in screen that would have made it 100x better.

[Q] Will marshmallow bring back Z3 Particle Effects?

Will marshmallow bring back good old and the best Z3 Particle Effects same like Kitkat??
Almost all users miss it.
Lollipop only allows it on stock xperia live wallpapers but Kitkat allowed it on any wallpaper applied.
I want somebody to convey this to sony.

Oh god... I HATED those particles, they always made me feel the animations on the phone are slow and sluggish. This should be optional, yes, but not applied to every wallpaper.

Alien Theme for Stock Lolipop

Hello everyone!
I decided to make a theme for our Xperia Z running on Lollipop.
Please note that this is version 1.0 and there are still a lot of things i want to change or add in the following version. (Test apk)
Feel free tu use this theme and please don't forget to comment. Any kind of feedback is more than welcomed!
Nice. I'm on kitkat, and the theme works except for onscreen buttons. They are the xperia ones. Not the ones in your pics.

I'm sorry but i did this theme only for Lollipop and i didn't set any buttons. So when you apply it, the system's buttons will show, in your case KK.
I did a new them both for LP and KK that i will upload soon

Dark theme stock dialer app

Hello everyone,is there no way to get a dark theme for the stock dialer app on a non-rooted XZ2? Sony have given us the option in the stock messenger app,so why not in the dialer app as well? For that matter,why dont they just make the option available for a dark settings menu also. Really Sony,time to get with it.
Does anyone know of any way at all to get a dark themed stock dialer working on an XZ2 that is not rooted? I-m hoping for a miracle i know.

Why must i wai for Android Q? Do you think our devices will even be updated @MartinX3? The way Sony has been launching a new flagship every 6 months,i would be very surprised that we get Android Q. Also,what makes you think the Dialer or even the settings menu will have a dark theme support as stock?

It does? But do you really think Sony wont remove it and stick with their boring,tried and tested stock white only theme? Just look at what happened with the design of the phones. They released a gorgeous new shape in the XZ2 and then streamlined it on the XZ3,only to go back to the same boring rectangular shape on the upcoming Xperia 1 etc. Yes,they finally changed to a multiple camera set-up and much smaller bezels with a longer screen,but the overall shape of the phones is the same boring old design. They lack any sort of individualism or creativity at Sony HQ at the moment.
