Is it possible to set a Main Home Screen? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
My friend just got his Xperia Z5, but we can't find a way to set a main home screen on the phone.
Does anyone know how? Or it isn't possible?
Thank you!

This?

Cool. Didn't know about that feature.

My account is new, so I need to post like 10 times to post a screenshot... >.<

But, it doesn't show that icon "home" on his phone.
That's really strange.

You have to hold your finger down on the home screen to enable "edit" mode. Notice all the icons and a red X on them to delete?

Yes, but the home icon on the top left corner doesn't show on the phone. Only the "X" on the top right corner.

And you're using the standard Sony Launcher, right? Not Nova Launcher or something else? Seems strange that this would be in one region/carrier firmware but not another. I'm on Customized DE and it's there.

His phone is a Swedish Xperia Z5. I thought that would be the same for every single Xperia. I don't know if the region would matter. Can you confirm this? Using another Launcher would fix it?
On another topic, does your phone have the inicialization music when you turn it on? Is it possible to turn it on or off? Because his doesn't have any of those.
Thanks!

I couldn't say what other launchers do and I only have one region to test (Germany). Sorry.
Phone makes no sound on startup/boot.

My phone are a swedish one with nordic firmware.
I can set home screen as shown in the picture, also there are no sound then booting up the phone.

[REQ/IDEA] Secure Lockscreen

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.
Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.
Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the combo one
I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.
This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.
I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.

hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.
Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.

Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).
Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

[Q] Softlock Button Idea

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)
It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.
You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!

HUAWEI screen lock, how do i get rid of it??

Hello guys!
First of all, sorry if this is wrong place to ask that, it's okay to move!
Can anyone tell me how to remove screen lock on Huawei product?
I have MediaPad T3, but I'm pretty sure this is same on every Huawei.
If I take everything off, it still wants to slide screen up, before I'm get homescreen.
In developer options, screen lock is grey, and it's not possible to adjust.
It's very annoying when I want to use tablet on my car..
Thanks!

Screen lock settings are not located in developer options. Those settings should be in "security" or in "display" or in "lockscreen" settings.

Yes, that's true. But on Huawei, there's no possibility take it off. The best results are that, when you can swipe screen up, and after that you are on home screen.
So I think it have to change on developer options, but that place in there is grey.

Are there any other suggestions? I'm tried to search, but no idea... frustrating.
Have to change brand soon..
I really like that look on Huawei!

Emoji Key

Hi all
Got my Note 20 Ultra this morning, come back to Samsung after moving to Huawei a few years ago.
Something really bugging me is no emoji key on the samsung keyboard ?

If the toolbar is missing, go into the keyboard settings and turn it on.

Samsung keyboard hasn't had this for a few years.
If you turn the toolbar off, to get emojis, you hold down the comma key and choose the emoji icon froma list of icons.

Hang on, I just found how to do it for you :silly:
I use GBoard so I didn't know...but I've just found it while going through it. It's all tucked away. You turn off the toolbar in keyboard settings. Then long press the comma, and choose the emoji icon. This sets that left key as the emoji key. It just means that to get a comma, you need to long press theperiod key.

Wtf? It looks like a wallpaper...
Maybe something to do with wallpapers or themes? Any wallpaper apps loaded?
Try in safe mode.
no wallpaper apps. I'll try setting a different theme, but I'm sure it's the default theme.
I'll google safe mode and try that. thank you for your help. I thought someone might recognize this as a setting.
I found the setting that was causing the problem. searching "screensaver" in settings found a selection for screensaver when docked or charging. I changed it to "none".
thanks for your reply!

Yay! Lol, Samsung's are notorious for their hidden settings. Sometimes in plain sight but others required a double tap on unmarked menu items
edit: I'm aware it's an LG. Koreans are sort of krazy in general... look at their graffiti
