Since the newest SE update I can only use the timescape widget when I use the stock SE launcher, when I use go launcher or any other the timescape widget disappears,
Also happens with the new weather widget, is there a way we can use these widgets on other launchers?
I'm not sure but I don't believe so.
I just updated from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 on i9023.
Everything seems to be working perfect but I see no option to re-size widgets in the stock launcher? Even those I was able to with ADW launcher on GB, I thought the ICS stock launcher was able to re-size.
Did something go wrong with the update? Anyone else with the problem?
Just long press on the widget and drag it to the desired size.
Ok it seems like the ics launcher has very limited capability of resizing, only a few widgets I can resize whereas ADW resized pretty much everything. I am unable to resize the animated analog clock widget and a few other widgets that ADW could.
As the thread says, share your homescreen with everyone. Also, include instructions as to how you achieved it, i.e.
- which launcher
- share the wallpaper
- share the widgets you're using
I will share mine next week as soon as I get the tablet.
Use SCREEN MAKER App to make it look like the screenshot is actually a picture of your device itself.
I'd love to see a screenshot of Nova Launcher running on the Xperia Z.

Nova Launcher Prime. Hopefully there will be a way to flash CM or any other AOSP based rom on the Wifi version as I can't stand the Honeycomb like nav buttons and all the Sony bloatware. Tried to replace most of the Sony apps with proper stock Android apps, and thankfully Nova Launcher let's me hide all the things I don't need.
Chose this tablet because of the unavailability of the Nexus 10 over here, the weight of the tablet, and the (wrong) assumption this tablet would be easy to turn into a "pseudo-Nexus" because of Sony's involvement in AOSP.
So hopefully some clever devs will find a way soon.
edit: oh sorry, the widgets:

Updated. Loving it so much more now with stock Android / CM 10 on it!

Hey, looks nice, can you tell me what app you use to make a folder look like a normal icon?
Edit: Nevermind I just figured you can do that in Nova Launcher -

That's probably because Dashclock needs Android 4.2.2, and the stock Sony firmware is on 4.1 I believe

Thanks, for this relevant answer, will wait until Sony update its rom to 4.2.2,
Stock Sony XPERIA Launcher (I haven't tried the DoCoMo launcher), panels 1 to 5.
Panel 1 is at the extreme end for stuff I don't pay attention to so much, i.e. Socialife.
Panel 2 is a blank panel, so that I can just enjoy the wallpaper, or, well, when I want a blank panel.
Panel 3, central home panel, has the information I generally look for, plus the most commonly accessed shortcuts/a music player widget.
Panel 4, extended weather info only, with time.
Panel 5, full-size music player.
This sort of layout has been sort of traditional for me, and I use some variation of it on all my Android devices.
I use a combination of Minimalistic Text, Sony's stock widgets and Poweramp, while weather is provided by 1Weather's widget.
I'm not too fancy or anything though I suppose I ought to spend time properly doing something unusual and nice, given the XPERIA is hardly a usual tablet.
Wallpaper is via the Music Visualizer app, with a self-edited image for an idle wallpaper. It'll change to visualizer bars when sound plays above a certain volume threshold (i.e. the sound of system clicks doesn't trigger it).
I have PowerToggles on the system bar and Realtime Task Manager on the Small Apps shortcut. I'm honestly a fan of the single-system bar layout. I absolutely abhor the idea of having two on-screen bars consuming screen space.
I might replace the Socialife widgets with Flipboard's or something, because they constantly blank themselves needing a refresh, and sometimes it just seems that they're sluggish.
I love magancete's look, it's very unique!
Just get it today & current look for my Sony Xperia Tablet Z.

How did you change dpi? i tried adb shell wm density 400 && adb reboot
phone reboots, but adb still says 480
Never mind, I'm coming from S4 truned down to 370 so 400 was still large
But which keybord are you using? swiftkey is useless when changed dpi to 380.

Where did you get the sense home launcher? Can't find it in the google play store..
So, everytime i use an other launcher (set as default blabla) for example nova, the standard widgets are missing (clock and stuff)
Does anybody has an idea how i can get the widgets to show up on the launchers? Would love to use another launcher...
Additional info:
64GB Variant, B182.
When you want to use a other launcher you have to use also other Apps for setting the Widgets. I have the same problem with the Clock and Weather. Now i use the Weather & Clock Widget from Devexpert and it works like a charm with Nova Launcher :good:
