After the 4.3 update, the transparency for the navbar etc has been lost. I've checked a thread on this issue for the xperia z but I haven't found a solid answer to this problem.
What do I need to do? Stock 4.3 is disgustingly ugly in my opinion
Nothing.. Sony has removed, deleted, turned off the option for third party apps to use the transparancy of the notificationbar and softkeys.

Stock-based 4.3 is still better and more solid for me, I tried other custom Roms like CM and they are still buggy atm(hope they improve in time). They have low volume sound, random freezes, nav bar laggy, etc.
I'm particularly using this stock-based ROM -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312
And btw, my nova launcher has transparent status bar and nav bar on that stock-based ROM. Give it a try.

When setting lower screen density the 4 icons at the bottom of the screen is not on the correct position.
All other icons and folders are ok.
The holo launcher is ok also.
Not sure wht this thread is for.
Are you reporting a bug? If so some SS would be nice.
Are you suggesting a fix to a bug/ If so, which bug and what is the fix?
Which Launcher is it? Your title suggests stock Xperia, but then you mention holo launcher.
Other information which would be nice is
Which Phone model?
Which ROM?
Which FW version?
Which Kernel?
Without this we cant make head or sense of your post.
Its stock jelly bean rom and stock xperia launcher.
The settings page is not displaying correctly to when setting a lower screen density so never mind.
It need a lot of work i guess.
Strange is that i find a version that works at all density values but its a little bit luggy.
New version here that works awesome!!!!
The only issue now is settings page.
Can you show a screenshot of the bug as I still do not know what your issue is?
Is the stock launcher from the stock JB rom from the same phone? If not, then of course there will be bugs

I've seen what he's talking about. It's the stock JB launcher from Sony, it does not play well (like Sense and others) with custom DPI settings. They design it for a grid of certain size and call it good. Basically, when you lower the DPI, the icons are off their normal axis a bit, and it looks wonky. It's not a bug, it's built to handle one DPI... I think this can be closed unless it's a request to tweak it.
I've not used the custom Xperia Launcher... I always go to Nova.
As the title says I have a problem with UI lag when using CM based rom.I have used Jelly Bear and Avatar and both drop fps when pullling the notification or opening apps.It just lags compared to stock like LG rom.What is the reason of this?Does anyone experience this problem or is it just me?
i realized too that issue with notification bar but i think its launcher issue cause i installed Next launcher and lag gone is rly smooth when i pull down the bar.

yes I use nova launcher to fix notification bar lag but its only that.I dont know do you notice it but there is some lag in UI but it seems that it is better when you turn of animations in developer options.Did you buy Next launcher or you downloaded pirated app?
Looks like Sony has unfortunately not packed the former "Extras" / "Quick Toggle" widget(s) into the Z3C. Found them quite useful at times and kind of miss them now. Anyone with an idea to get them back (maybe from the Z1C which is running 4.4.4 as well)?
Would you be able to get them back with Xposed gravity box when we get root?
Isn't it possible to just get the widget's apk from that system folder where all of the apk's from the built-in apps are? I've done it for a few apps before, without being rooted.
Here is the installer for the official Sony quick-toggle widgets from my Xperia Acro S
Tested on my Xperia Z2 tablet, only the backlight toggle doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for that! Will give it a try later on.
Someone with a Z1C or Z2 in this forum to have a newer version to post here (Acro S seems a little old maybe ) ?

Well the z2 tablet doesn't come with such widgets so I'm pretty sure it's the same with the z2. They probably removed those toggle widgets since the introduction of the swipe-down quick toggles.

Think I had seen them on a Z1C (running 4.4.4) as well as on the Z2 (running 4.4.2) still available. Guess these were only removed on the Z3 series along that new functionality of being able to drag/drop quick-settings icons in the settings bar.
Just tested "Power Toggles" on my Z3C and found that App to be a very good candidate to replace the original Sony toggle widget. If enabled, it even gives back the toggles in the notification bar (without having to tap on Settings or swiping to the left). Very nice!

Thanks a billion, buddy!!!
I only hope this will work for Lollipop and Marshmallow, too.
I use "Power Toggles" much better than the stock toggles with many options.
...you can also try this toogles, works on latest 5.1, no root needed :
You Will find it at apkmirror.com / Sony apps
Hi devs.
Does it have way to make my PA look like z3's kk. I like Sony's interface, but 4.3 is slowly for my. Thank's and srry for my bad english
When im on KK roms with theme engine support, I use the Xperia Z2 theme by thomasffca and also use the Z2 keyboard, I feel this is enough to make it feel like Sony UI still but have all KK features, try out those apps I mentioned and see what you think?
Edit: On CrystalPA 8.50, there is a minor bug on hover notifications, its got no background when displaying the notification while using the Z2 theme.
I have also installed the Xperia font with ROM Toolbox and that has also made the phone feel more like the Sony UI we know and love.
Also, use digital xperia clock widget from play store and use that on your lockscreen and homescreen to keep the clock looking Xperia.
The thing I love most about this SP is the LED bar, especially how it lights up on the beat of the music playing and I do not want to lose this feature.
I want to update my ROM (currently using eXistenZ) to a 4.4 android version, cm11. I have done this before and the LED bar didn't go with the beat anymore (of course it wouldn't because I wasn't using Walkman), now I have found some Z2 ported Xperia apps, which includes Walkman and Albums, my question is: Will the LED bar fully work with this ported apps? I am afraid to lose the cool effect while playing music etc.
thanks in advance!
