New LWP by SONY - Xperia Z Themes and Apps

Anyone tried this LWP from Sony ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...p.wallpaper.ambienttime&feature=search_result
its called the ambient time , but looks like its cpu and battery hungry , all though looks verycool

Nice one :thumbup: but dont use it cuz of the battery drain etc
One & Only Xperia Z

I saw this back when I had my arc S in 2011 (it was an old version), I didn't really like it that much.
But thanks for the share anyway, I completely forgot about this.

I had the Ambient Time launcher on my X10 with this wallpaper. It worked fine but when the X10 got the 2.3 update I never used this again.

LoL! yeah, the same here! :laugh:

Really laggy on stock launcher...but I have to admit that almost every Live Wallpaper have lags on the stock launcher, except PAPERLAND...
The problem isn't regarded to the raw power of the phone...but in the far from good stock launcher's optimization...

can you enter URLs and check last Update

thanks anyway

Stock LWP Cosmic Flow is better and I don't feel like it drain battery too much.

[Q] Lockscreen lags and bugs

Hmmm I've been experiencing Lockscreen lags such as when I press the power button, I will get a sneak preview of the homescreen then only the Lockscreen comes up >< Hmmm I've also installed Modaco's rom hoping the problem will be fixed , but it still persists >< Is there anyway to fix the lockscreen lag issues?
Wow problem seemed to be fixed when I changed my font back to Droid sans :0

ok nevermind >< Problem returned
Lg's lockscreen is laggy, that's a fact ... you'll have to use a custom rom without this lockscreen but the classic one I guess fr10 vanilla would do it

Actually even the AOSP Lockscreen lags a bit if you use the LG Launcher, but the problem is that LG Launcher is the only one that can switch your screen on when you receive a message
I don't really know what you're talking about: Handcent SMS turns the screen on (if the option is enabled, of course) just fine for me, running on Modaco FR10 with LauncherPro. (and OC kernel)
Nice to know, I'll test with the default launcher
Hmmm I guess LG launchers arent very perfected then >< I hope they do something about the homescreen scroll lags and lockscreen lags in the next gingerbread update ><
hmmm, can i get that lock screen on my LG Optimus ONE?

Gotta wait for a port currently I think someone should at least be porting the lockscreen APK into it. But I have to say, its pretty laggy judging from everyone's perspective
I also notice the lag.. kindoff silly with a tegra 2 chip haha.
Anyway, I am using the pattern unlock, and Launcher Pro.. Froze LG Launcher.. So gotta be something different.
Haven't tried a custom rom yet..

Tested out with Launcher from Modaco's Kitchen, Fr11 and the kernel they give me with the ROM, with both Handcent and AOSP SMS, my screen doesn't light on when I receive a message, I need to switch it on manually

Mine does... I'm using handcent.
And while we are on this topic, launcher pro does speed up things a lot.

Hmmm how much RAM does launcher pro use up compared to LG's? I heard that homescreen lags are due to the caching of the homscreens. If there is no cache, the ram usage would be lesser but the homescreen scrolling would be laggy.
Saw lots of vids of g2x and lockscreen doesnt have that laggy feel. A g2x rom for 02x is gud.

Good news guys. I think I found part of the problem of what caused the lockscreen to lag. Hmmm Its because of the LG home launcher. I tried installing the arc launcher and guess what, the lockscreen became almost buttery smooth. RAM usage has reduced too! Wow I think Im gonna stick to the arc launcher from now on. Good thing is also that, I can use LG widgets in that launcher! I can use all the LG widgets in other launcers!
How is the Arc launcher different from other launcher say Go launcher and LauncherPro?

One of the smoothest launchers - Lightning Launcher

I tried almost all available launchers, but none was smooth with demanding Live Wallpaper, until I tried this Lightning Launcher:

Just for some delusional users this is SGS2 stock launcher with LWP:

Stock LG is rubbish, so this is an alternative (more than alternative for smooth UX):

Indeed, this launcher seems to be the smoothest I've ever tryed. What I don't like about it is that the dock icons are so ugly, and the icons seems a bit low quality.

There is much room to improve, but smoothness is top-notch. I hope it will break through beta stage soon :silly:
It is just fast like lightning for sure. Of course it is still beta and for me not my daily launcher still using nova but I am sure that next will improve and it needs work but yeah it is fast. If it becomes a full fledged launcher and is still that fast I will certainly use it all the time. And an idea app drawer also vertical scrolling please, thanks. Keep up the work. It is promising.

After been using this launcher for a while I have to admit, it sucks.
Don't know if the latest update fu**** it up, but the phone was useless. Extremely slow, couldn't answer phonecalls because it didn't respond. Keyboard was laggy etc..
Was great at the beginning...

MIUI Launcher is surprisingly fast and smooth. Smoother than Apex/Nova but not as smooth as stock laucher.
It's a little iphone-ish with its lack of app drawer. But you can create an app drawer by creating a folder, place it on the dock and put all your apps in the folder.
The selection of available themes/icons is pretty nice.

I'm not joking. Nope. Nope.
Stock LG launcher is smoother than most 3rd party launchers I've tried (Apex, Nova, Go Launcher, ADW, Holo, Nemus etc.) They're all fine launchers and most have more customization options. But the animation in stock launcher is smoother and seems to have higher fps (if that is the right term). The other launchers seem more jittery, like it's skipping a few frames. MIUI Launcher is the only one I've tested that seems closest in terms of smoothness. If I've got time and can be arsed, I'll make a video.
You guys should give iLauncher a try. Perfect way copy of the iOS 6.

I noted the Android System battery percentage rise from under 5% to nearly 14% with the use of this launcher for about an hour and playing around with it.
I am back to stock launcher now, and the Android system percentage has reduced to 11% in the past one hour or so.
Possibly ones it is out of beta, its battery requirement may also be optimized.

How can we take this seriously..? If ppl are telling you that.. for them.. the launcher is nice.. but if its not nice for u.. it can't be nice for them?
everything u say is "the word" ? noone should say what they feel? Noone should tell you that they are happy with a launcher, because u don't like it?
Stock launcher is great, im on Nova kauncher prime, apex launcher (bought), miui launcher, adw launcher ex and stock.. for me, with LWP.. its Nova and Apex thats the best choice.. this is "FOR ME",,

Maybe you like choppy user experience, but not me or anyone should.
My post were sarcastic since I tried all of those launchers, and man some were ridiculous
And that what some user feel for launcher?!?! Man R U ok, I mean really?!?!
I don´t care if some people are attached to "launcher" LOL , I care about smooth user experience (lag when swipe pages on home-app screen should be considered as a serious flaw regarding UX).
BTW I tried final version of Next launcher and it is a lost case...and I will change this thread to Lightning Launcher.
Sorry if I hurt you feelings for the launcher LOL

I won't take you seriouse. Next time i want you to be more mature, and actually make a good statement before beeing a total douche.
I'm more than ok, you are the one who are on something, not me. I wonder how much crap u got on you'r phone if it lags when swiping. Mine dosn't, and i use an LWP .. So guess you just don't know how to use the power of O4X..
Anyway: Devs plz wake up, and remove the thread or atleast lock it up. Clearly the OP isn't beeing seriouse.

Errr...you mean MODS not DEVS LOL...BTW my claim is true, and you are not to be trusted, claiming stock launcher doesn´t lag with LWP while scrolling pages is what every owner of this great phone knows as a fact.
Power of O4X...well it´s placed in light heavy weight category at this time. On pair with Galaxy S2. Being delusional wont change reality so you are welcome not to visit this thread or opposite.
BTW I like LG 4X HD without being delusional :silly:
Thats 2 bad. Because mine dosn't lag. Wierd isn't it? I can't be trusted because im telling the truth? And there are few more telling the exact same as me.. wierd huh? srsly. get your stupid imature stuff out of here. There is no launcher that is "the best". The launcher that is best for us is the one we like ourself. Not something u are claming, wich is indeed false. Im on stock launcher, it works like charm! no lag, im on V10h. The launcher i will end up using might be Nova, it seems to be the best atm. Kids should stay home where they belong, go back to it, because every single sentence you have is childish.. infact, i'll stop. You are not worth my time.
Anyone using the phone: Nova, Stock or Apex is great. Been using it since release of the launchers. And they are still good, and does a great job on this phone 2.

[APPS/LAUNCHER]Xperia T Launcher

I just want to share xperia T launcher which i found in this thread
just install as normal apk, i already try and it work, much more better than xperia S GB launcher

Hey, great launcher.
But what happens is that when i chose any icon pack, icons are not that sharp they look blurry even if apply a hd icon pack.
This also happens on other launchers like apex.

it depend on resolution,,maybe the icon pack dont use high resolution picture and our device is big screen,,i think thats why the icon has low quality
That sux, i have o4x.
Almost all icon packs look bad except one.

I installed the Xperia T launcher a few days ago, and I admit that I love it. So much more functionality and personalization in comparison to the default launcher and I prefer it's appearance much better. Although the default launcher wasn't that bad, this is superior by far! And I've replaced, as you can imagine, the default launcher! In addition, I downloaded and installed a Glass HD icon pack and it looked fine, so I suppose that the resolution plays an important part!
Ha, great.....
I have the Acro S from Sony and i use the LG UI 3 Launcher...
It is the best Launcher of all Stock Launchers.

[Q] What is your favorite lockscreen?

I'm getting tired of the stock lock screen on the SP, so just wondering what are your favorite lock screen apps to use? I've tried widgetlocker before but not my type of thing.
I really loved the lockscreen of Gingerbread and ICS Xperia devices (If anyone knows how to get these lockscreens on Xperia SP please share!)
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
pretty photo is not suit me
i like use some simple picture with diffrent color or style,change sometimes for example when spring to summer

Android 4.2.2 Lockscreen with widgets, like Dash Clock, the best looking and useful widget for 4.2.2 :good:
cm10.1 lockscreen is the best.
I agree, Vanilla Android lockscreen is one of the best after having a Galaxy Nexus for a while, but I've gotten bored of that lol.

[Q] Change Lockscreen Clocks?

Hello, is there a way to change the clocks for the lockscreen? Other then those 3 options? I'm on stock rooted firmware.
Thank you!

Download other clock widgets from the app store, long press on the lockscreen clock - swipe up to delete - and long press again to choose the widget you prefer.

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.

Thats the game. Dont like it, dont play it. And we have alternatives. Miui f.e
I like Android 5.0 , but the ability to change the lockscreen clock doesn't have to be removed, oh well, waiting for Andoird M then
