Hi all, so after updating to the latest 4.2.2 version on my Xperia Z I noticed we can now customize the lock screen.
However, the choice of widgets are quite limited. I already installed dash clock.
Would like to know if anyone has found any nice widgets that they use in the lock screen??

When 4.2.2 will arrive, yes
Hello everyone,
I am new to modifying stock launchers.
(that means I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE with rom's / rooting / xposed framework, etc)
For the last few days I have been looking for a way to get a bigger grid size for my Stock Xperia Launcher.
I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher.
In the past I have modifying my Samsung phones (using 3rd party launchers like TSF Shell / Nova Launcher / Widgetlocker, UCCW, Missed it!, etc).
Now I have my Sony Xperia Z1 for 2 months. I used Nova Launcher + Widgetlocker. Then yesterday my WiFi didn't had internet access anymore. So I contacted Sony and I had to reset my phone.
So I start from a new fresh installation now. I was impressed with what Sony had done with Xperia Launcher within these 2 months, I decided I want to use this launcher (no 3rd party launchers)
So now I want to use my Stock Launcher and be able to get a bigger grid size and I want my dock to have 7 instead of 5 icons.
I did some research but I found it confusing so now I need help
On XDA forums I see people talking about using Xposed framework.
Can someone explain me step to step how to used this Xposed framework?
I saw the video that XDA developers made regarding Xposed framework. Which is very clear to me
But how do you implant modules? Where you find these modules?
I just need a bigger Grid size and I want a 7 icon dock, and that is it. My phone I use in Portrait mode mostly, only when Facebooking / Surfing internet / Watching movies I will use Landscape mode.
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks for the reply.
I will try it later on today when I reach home, I am at work now.
1 More question:
When I try this out, will my live Xperia wallpaper still work, in both Lock Screen + Home Screen?
( I am using the live wallpaper that comes standard with the stock Xperia, named Xperia. I use this wallpaper in both Lock Screen + Home Screen )
That is the one with the waves that changes color after lots of side scrolling )

Hi there,
I've did a little research but I couldn't find anything related:
Is there an exposed module for lockscreen rotation?
I've seen some apps capable of doing this but I've also read that they eat a lot of battery.
Anyone knows something about this?
Sent from Xperia Z1
I use Next Launcher 3D which allow me to rotate the Lockscreen, Home screen, everything. It not eat battery. Just switch to different Launcher which allow you to do so.
thanks,
sorry for the late reply, but weekend got the best of me

Some think of any solution?

Near bottom, best launcher.
So I updated my Xperia Z3+ today and noticed that the home screen does not rotate any more.
I looked in the home screen settings, but there is no such option, like it used to be on 5.0.1.
Am I just not seeing this option, or has Sony removed this feature?
No answer I see. I unfortunately found the same thing, and it really annoys me. I had to move to use Nova launcher so I could get it back, but unfortunately I don't find nova as good as the inbuilt one. The widget handling of nova on the xperia is terrible, and the standard app tray is not as good as the xperia one. I keep hoping there will be an update that fixes it.
I guess it is that sony sadly stopped implementing mag charging and docks for the z5 and later so just don't care. And honestly I can not understand why they stopped that. It is fantastic using your phone as a bedside clock / photo frame on a dock. If I lost my current XPeria, I'd probably just buy the same model again, not get one of the later ones. Or find a different brand that did support horizontal dock/charge.
EDIT: It looks like they have released a beta of it with it fixed, but apparently buggy:

Mobe @ haha very funny... Why you said Nova is not better than Stock launcher? I think you doesn't know the true features of nova or you don't know how to customize it.
