How to find custom ROM launcher, lock screen, etc apk? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not going to build my own custom ROM, i need those feature for my personal uses.

ha ha, yes looks like that custom ROM launcher, lock screen etc looks like that. need to try it.

just open the zip (custom rom) with winrar / winzip and browse anything u need from it ..
the apk that you want is mostly located in /system/app

Help with lockscreen... an mesajes app...

Hi guys, I recently updated my chinese dual sim phone to jelly bean. But the chinese guy who cooked the rom put a bunch of things in there.
Its super annoying that everytime I get an sms I get a popup with the content and options to reply, delete, etc... i have no idea how to disable that. It works like ios!!!!! Aweful!!!
Also the lockscreen wallpaper cannot be changed, and its an horrendous one. In fact I would like to have the ics stock lockscreen, but the jelly bean stock one is good enough.
I'm rooted btw, and have a custom recovery so I can flash a. Zip file that could replace the apks
Also a question, the bubbles (noisefield) live wallpaper does not work in jelly bean? I mean, I tried to install it, and tried to move it to the system/app folder (with rw-r--r--) and it does not work...
Thanks in advance....

I download it from a chinese forum, you first need to flash the custom recover that i have in english. Then flash the zip. I will post all of that later if you want me to.

I guess so. Im using holo lockscreen btw, im just asking since I prefer a native option. Im sure its an apk I need to replace, nothing more. Maybe someone can upload the stock lockscreen apk.
Update:i managed to disable the sms popup. But still like to go back to the stock ics lockscreen...

App Drawer Syncing

Hello,
I currently use Jeally Beans custom rom.
On this rom and the stock one,
if I create a folder and add stuff into it, and copy that folder to home (the shortcut menu, i dont know the proper name of it)
the original folder and the shortcut is not syncing.
I found GO launcher does this, but not the rom i'm using right now.
GO launcher uses so much battery (I have seen %15-20)
So i dont want GO L.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Its really sad that original android developers still did not include this in stock rom.

Theme without custom rom.

Hello,
I have rooted my XSP, but I don't have a custom rom, I have the rom stock.
And, I saw on the play store, a good theme.
But, I can't install it on my phone, without a custom rom, and while my phone is under warranty I don't want to install a custom rom.
So, can I install this theme on my phone without a custom rom ?
Thanks a lot.

ok , so u can install any launcher (Go,nova,etc)
And, with nova, go or another, I can install any themes I find on the store, or only the themes proposed by this apps ?
If I install nova or go, I must configure totaly the menu, I can't keep mind.

Since you have a rooted phone, You should try XthemeEngine. But you should install Xposed Framework first.

[Q] Nova Prime Launcher as a System App

Are there any benefits of converting nova launcher into a system app?
Does it make it faster? More Stability?
Inputs would be highly appreciated..
Meh, doesn't really make a difference. ROM cooks usually puts it in /system if they're using it as the main ROM launcher, but there aren't any advantages for a normal user. You can do it if you want to, though

Just download a new launcher (Nova, Apex or whatever you prefer), delete the stock Sony launcher from system/app, and you're done. No cooking is needed, but you'll need root.
Thank you very much , You're a star ,I am glad i don;t have to go to the kitchen
restart
If you do get rid of the stock launcher and u put lets say the google kitkat launcher google placed on the play store in the /system app folder and u need to reseat the device would the os install the launcher in the app folder or would it not touch it so when it starts up there is no user face, and if so how can u put aosp launcher back onto it and where would u find the launcher?

Problems with excess apps

I have a problem with excess apps like Google Films/Google music etc. i dont use them and need.
I would like to install pico Gapps and cant. i did brick my phone 2 times today. Would like somone to help me.
You cannot flash Google app packs on Touchwiz ROM (but I'm not 100% sure ) If you want to remove these apps install ES File Explorer or something similar, give it root privileges, find tab with system apps and uninstall ones you don't want.

If it is compatible with your device, I recommend EpsilROM. It does not come with those kind of GApps and is stock based
