[Q] 4.2.2: Lockscreen with the default swipe applauncher - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hate the default swipe lockscreen, I want the normal swipe one from AOSP where I can pick between several apps to launch from the lockscreen.
Where do I get that? Is it available on the App Store, or as an apk?

No hits. Did you even try yourself before posting this generic advice?

Rename /system/app/XperiaLockScreen.apk to XperiaLockScreen.apk.bak or move the file to your sdcard.
It's that simple.
EDIT: Didn't see that you wanted the shortcuts. That will need some work. Not sure you will be able to get a replacement like that.

And the Lockscreen Widgets, yes... Holo Locker will give me the shortcuts, but not the widgets, and the default will give me the widgets and not the shortcuts.
Why the hell would Sony disable the shortcuts like this without adding any functions? "Value added" my ass.

You could try this:

Although the guide is for 4.1.2, it should also work for 4.2.2.
I'm not talking from experience here, because I haven't tried it, but this seems to be what you're looking for?
EDIT: If you can upload your framework-res.apk, I can probably try to do this for you.

Great, thanks! I'll try later, and I might ask you to do it for me if I can't figure it out.

It does, but the lockscreen music controls no longer work, so I don't know if that's because that just how it is (i.e you need to manually add the widget) or if applying the same code broke it, but this is how mine looks...

Weather Widgets for Android 1.5 (cupcake) by Jeffrey Sharkey

Hey everyone, if you are running build 1.5 (Haykuro, Dudes, ADP) of android, jsharkey has created a working weather widget. I have it on my phone and it works pretty well.
Read about it more here:
http://www.jsharkey.org/blog/
Or grab the apk from here:
http://www.jsharkey.org/downloads/Sky-101.apk

looks outstanding, loading it up now
btw, do you have a twitter account, i found thats the best way to keep up with the updates for android apps.
thanks!!
Is there a way to make an options screen for this or something? It's exactly what I've been looking for, however, my widget is showing 'red flag warning' because there's a fire risk today(even though it's going to downpour any minute).
I don't care much for this function in general, so it has nothing to do with your programming specifically, but is there a way to turn this off? I hate not being able to see just the temp outside without having to press the widget first...
The source code is there. Can someone made it work outside US?
Looking at the source, I think it'd be easier to use the app as a framework for an international version rather than modify the existing code. The reason being is it was designed an api from a US weather service.
You never know though.
Hello,
Great widget! I'm trying to recode this widget to use Google Weather API.
I just have one small problem, how to uninstall this widget? I try through the application manager, adb ...
Nice! Let's get it out there for Open Home so it can be used there too!
Monterey Bay? You from around there? I lived in Monterey/Seaside/Marina, Ca for a while.

install appmanager to access ALL installed programs....
This is awesome. Any battery effect, really?
I liked it but removed it due to not updating weather enough... was off by quite a bit
Missing a lot of icons but otherwise a good start for a widget.
If you didn't see, I made a modified version for internationnal (with added features).

I would like the option to choose where we get the weather info from. I have weatherbug also, which gives me the current weather & the widget which gives me the lows & highs of the day. The lows & highs don't always match weatherbug.

How did you remove it? I tried using Appmanager and it doesn't even show it.

[HELP!]Skinning Power Control Widget

I've been trying to do this on my own, but get FC when I try to go into Settings or into the list of widgets.
Then I tried grabbing a Settings.apk from a theme that is 3.9.2 compatible, and still get the FC.
Anyone have a clue how to do it?
I'm using Cyan 3.9.2 with Oreo Theme v30

Has anyone even been able to successfully skin it yet? It is Donut, which could be why.
It's definitely possible. SHould be in settings>res>drawable. Careful there are .9pngs in there though.
You mean like this?

[Q] Missing: Personalize the lock screen style settings is missing !!!

Hi everyone. I got updated to 4.3 and this is a stock, international HTC one (unbranded and not locked to any carrier). However, when I try to go to Settings-> Personalize, there is no option for lock screen style !!!
What gives? Is there anyone else who has this? Anyone who has gone through this?
I am not rooted, and do not plan to - however, hoping the experts here can help me with this please.
Emh, htc deleted it because you can add pages as you want in lockscreen, and you can put here all that you want

Hi - my bad - I missed out seeing the swipe option on the lockscreen to add the pages. Is there now a way to tell the phone which one to use as the main lockscreen or will it always be the default one?
Lastly, any way to modify the default lockscreen then ?
thanks though
I would also like to know that because there is no way of using NiLS Notifications wothout that. Any news ?

You can set the first widget page with a Tweak on ViperOne.

But you have changed the launcher ? On stock One it is impossible to change default lockscreen or replace it.

In fact i said that is possible on ViperOne, that's a custom rom, with Tweaks
On a stock one, you have to switch always to the second page.

Wait just a doggone minute...

Does your homescreen rotate? I thought they fixed that in 4.1??? The homescreen on my N7 rotates. Why doesn't it rotate on the X?

Do you have "Auto-rotate screen" checked in the display options?

yes. everything else rotates fine. just the homescreen/app drawer. this was a known miss for several versions, which I thought was remedied.

That is a feature only for tablets. Quite frankly, it would be annoying on phones, but if you want it, Nova launcher.
Download an alternate launcher such as Nova or Apex and you can enable auto rotate on the home screen launcher.

dammit. i hate launchers. i never got the draw. even when i was a victim of the heavy-hand of Blur, launchers never did it for me. i suppose the old method of modifying a parameter of a file requires root. can't really remember the technical details.
anyway, with the USB on the bottom and the headphones on the top, not having a homescreen (or potentially even the active notifications screen) that rotates kind of sucks.
EDIT: that's right... edit the build.prop file, add the line:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

I've been trying to figure this out too, but all I want to rotate is the active display.
do you think something like "active display.force_enable_rotation=true" would work?
Hate launchers? Get my xperia launcher & fix.
I really like the GEL. my only gripe is the lack of rotation on the active display and the persistent google search bar.

left aligned launcher?

Is there a way or am I searching it wrong to put the launcher on the left side when in landscape mode? Looking for an app mod or anything? I'm not sure where else to ask this question and I didn't see it while searching.
What do you mean launcher? Launcher is all your home screens and app drawer.. Did you mean dock?
He means nav bar...
Never seen one myself, but perhaps try pie controls? Not the same but let's you swipe you nav controls onto the screen from top/bott/left/right depending om settings.
Again, not directly what you ask for but will let you operate nav buttons with that left hand.
Easiest would be to lookup lmt pie controls 2.5 here on xda, or Google and look for the xda link. You will need root.
Oh, I forgot about nav bars. I've used pie for so long, I forget nav bars even exist. Nasty, screen real-estate grabbing, pointless buttons of crap
Sorry guys im an idiot... II did mean the dock/nav bar where your app launcher and such are. Pie is great but not really what im looking for.

Sorry, dock and nav bar are 2 different things.. Which one do you mean? Can you screen shot?
..or do you mean both?

Ok that is dock.
Again, this might not be something you want but I remove my dock and use glovebox to swipe in from the left.. It's always left though even in portrait.. Then it auto hides.
I'm not aware of a mod to change the dock in stock launcher. I'm not aware of any 3rd party launcher that does it. Can't see a setting on nova.
Hmm good stuff, I wonder if there would be a way to make it persistent but that just might do.
Turn your phone in the opposite direction so the volume/power buttons point down?
