Where is the Album Widget? - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know why Sony has removed the album widget from the stock ROM?
Is there somewhere a working .apk for latest stock? I really miss this widget! Can only find a modded .apk für AOSP-based roms.
Sony should be ashamed

I am with you on this one. The photo widget was a mainstay on my Xperia devices. I tried installing the original apk but even though it installs it won't work. Very disappointed

This widget has been removed years ago...

True, but they kept updating the apk for a while and it worked on my xz with Oreo no problems.

[Q] installing stock apps

Hi
maybe a stupid question, but there were a couple of nice apps on the stock rom.
having just put CM on my Xperia T I wondered if there is a reliable way to get the stock apps onto it?
I have the de-odexed rom zip that was posted on here aq while back, but havent had any luck getting anything on there, either by using apk installer or copying the files to system/app and rebooting.
any help much appreciated
thanks

There are no stupid questions, just users not reaearching.
However, I dont know how to answer this unless you say which apps..
If you are talking sony stock apps, then some install and can be used but you cant use widgets (e.g timescape) other than that more information will help

hi greg
thanks for the reply
primarily the walkman app as I am not getting on with apollo at all
was a miui user for a long time on my desire, and the music app on that I liked. but no miui for the T that is as up to date at FXP 149 (there was a thread but it seemed to go stale a while back)
also the weather widget, would be nice too - but guess that is a no no.
as no widgets does that mean even if I can get the walkman app on there, the widget wont work?
thanks
I suggest you just try to copy the walkman .apk in /system/app and set the correct permissions, then reboot. It certainly won't mess up your phone if it doesn't work.

weather widget is a no..it is a stock sony widget and wont install on non sony roms.
If you look in the theme and app section there is a thread for walkman and if you follow the links ou will find a flashable zip to flash if you are not on stock to flahs to get it working.....but i wil lsay apollo is the best music app i ahve used apart from the sony walkman app..

Thank you very much It works like a charm Smooth and fluently :laugh:
Btw I just wanna ask : Does the XS camera reduce the quality of the picture ?? I flashed the zip, and I know my camera still have the option 10MP and 13MP But when I take a picture, the picture seems a little bit "unclearer " than before And also the focus doesn't seems to work well, focus very fast but not accurate Or may be it's just my eyes , but still want to ask you if you feel the same thing, and maybe we'll find a solution for it Also, now I have a little problem: Whenever I tap on the third tab in systemui preference (Open by tap the "three dot block" on the bottom left corner of the expanded status bar. The third tab is to customize the toggles, toggels' orders, etc...) I got the message : "Unfortunately, System Preference has stopped" I'm using the Xperia ION v3 mod. Please help
Aside from that little bugs everything just fly :laugh: You ROCKS :good: Pitty that I can only thank you once each post

Can´t use any Xperia app pack

I´ve been trying to install some Xperia app packs like this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 . I´ve changed the update-binary on every zip to flash. Always the apps stop inmediatly when I open them. Anyone can tell me what can I do? I´ve used AIO pack that installs flash player and do more stuff.

I've tried to extract one from Xperia Z firmware and to start it on my Moto like usual app. But it haven't even installed. Any suggestions? May be i need to find & install some odex-files?
Maybe all apps can't work with Intel arquitecture. Some normal apps doesn't work...
I've sent a tweet todo Rizal lovins (he posted a port of Walkman) and he told me that it depends of some Sony libs and also framework. I supose that libs are not x86 friendly

[App][Mod][JUNE 22 2015][v5]Walkman MOD 9.0.1.A.3.1 [New and Stock Walkman Icon]

Hi guys,
Recently Sony updated its "Walkman" app to "Music".
Most love the new additions to material design but changing the app from "Walkman" to "Music" was a disappointment. [Especially the Icons and notification ]
I believe that Walkman is "brand" that sets Xperia apart from other music players.
I have modified the app to give the same WALKMAN feel and looks while keeping the new functionality.
Requirements:
SuperuserMOD [Works for both KK and LP] NEEDED
Kitkat users can use Xposed installer and Serajr [KK] xopsed module to get Superuser MOD.
links for how to install xposed on LP rom-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60454533#post60454533
links for LP Serajr mod on LP-http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xposed-serajr-xperia-xposed-lp-v1-0-27-t3094251
Install steps:
-Download and install as normal apk.
I have tried this with Lollipop and it works fine.. kitkat users need to be de-odexed and can try the same..
Hope you liked this mod.
Apk and screenshot added below.
If you liked this mod pls hit thanks
Update:
The new Icon is desiged to look like the Classic Walkman icon in old Walkman phones, whilst maintaining same icon theme that Sony uses.
On request , also another Mod with the Stock Walkman icon is created. You can download as per you choice.
Please let me know if you guys dont like the New icon or any inputs are welcome.
Change LOG :
v1 :
-Based on Music 9.0.0.A.2.0beta.
-Updated Launcher Icon to Stock Walkman App
-Updated Notification Icon to Stock Walkman notification.
V2 :
- Changed app drawer text to "Walkman" from "Music"
- Changed in app Header text to "Walkman" from "Music"
V3 :
- Removed "vertical version text" from main screen.
v4:
- Updated to latest 9.0.1.A.1.0 version.
- Changed icon to classic Sony Ericsson Walkman icon with exact Sony material icon theme.
v5:
- Updated to latest 9.0.1.A.3.1 version
-Android Wear text and Icon changed to Walkman icons
- Created two Apks on Request [one with the new Walkman icon and One with the Sony Walkman Lollipop icon]
Update:
For those who are OK with the new "Music" name and just want the annoying vertical "RED" beta version on the home screen of the music player, a stock apk with that mod is created. However you will need the specified requirements.

Hi guys,
This is a modded Music beta Apk with old "Walkman" icon for app and app notification.
I basically loved the material concept thats enhanced in the new music player but I PERSONALLY did not like the WALKMAN name being replaced with MUSIC. NOR the icons.
I believe that Walkman is "brand" that sets Xperia apart from other music players.
So for those who do not like the new music icon..and like the old stock Walkman icons in notification and app.. You can use this
This is the
Install steps:
Back up SemcMusic.apk at /system/priv-app/SemcMusic/ [for lollipop]
Copy Apk to /system/priv-app/SemcMusic/
change permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
I have tried this with Lollipop and it works fine.. kitkat users need to be de-odexed and can try the same..

after move the apk to system/priv-app, set permission and reboot, there's no music/walkman app in app drawer.

Pixel C Launcher + Wallpaper Picker

Hey All
Wondering if anyone has had any luck with Wallpaper picker from the new Pixel Launcher ZIP located here:
http://llabtoofer.com/2016/09/12/pixel-launcher/
I've installed it on my 6P along with the picker but the picker just crashes whenever i try and change my wallpaper.
Cheers
I'm using the launcher and the picker and have no crashes.
I'm not using from the zip file I have the apks
how do we change the color of the app drawer??

I want to like the pixel launcher but you can't make folders in the app drawer and you can't hide apps either. I'm not rooted and I don't want to root so until Google think to implement these features I'll be giving the pixel launcher a miss...

Put launcher in /system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk, picker to /system/app/WallpaperPickerGooglePrebuilt/WallpaperPickerGooglePrebuilt.apk, set the correct permissions to folder and apk and restart.

Well this is odd! I'm already on Nougat (official latest build) as I say but this morning I got a small 40MB update stating that it fixed bugs. I installed it, I then installed the Pixel Launcher and Wallpaper Picker and this time they both worked fine!
