Quick questions for new owner of Z2 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all I love this device. Had the s5 and the m8 and this one is overall the better device. Anyways, the notification bar has Google search and Sony app which is annoying and the app switcher comes up a little slow and has those small apps. Anyway to fix these or do I need root for that? Thanks.

well you need root to change that
you can edit it via an xposed and an xposed module by the name of gravitybox
the app switcher is slow snd i dont think that can be changed

Yeah, I've tried GravityBox and a bunch of other Xposed modules but cannot seem to get rid of the mini apps in the app switcher...

i dont know about that, i havent realy tried :/

I was able to uninstall the small apps in the recent apps panel with titanium backup. No issues, but it isn't that much faster.

{REQ} Note 3 TouchWiz Launcher with Ability to Hide Apps

Hi,
I flashed the Note 3 Launcher, the original one I previously had on 4.3 had the ability to hide apps in app drawer, but the N3 one doesnt. Can someone guide me on how to hide them without an app? Or can someone modify it?
Please I dont want another launcher, just the N3 launcher with this ability. Thanks

No frikin idea why they got rid of that...there's like 10 apps I always hide from the drawer...I'm using the LG G2 launcher till that feature is brought back..its pretty solid. Except for the lock screen settings which don't work.don't need em anyways since the functionality isn't there.

That doesn't hide apps... it disables them (and hides them). We need something that only hides the app for example I want to hide the SuperSU app, adaway app... which Samsungs built in hide apps allowed us to do.
Here's the note 3 twizz launcher with blue text by Claude. It has the ability to hide apps as well. If not you could always use nova launcher

Hi Mate ,
I was looking for something like this for the I9500 ( S4) , this works on the S4 with Omega V19 but it disables the app and when you ask to see the dsabled apps it FC , where you got this from, looks promising needs polishing but looks good

You can use gravity box and xposed
You need root though

Thanks, I found using titanium backup and deleting the what's new application just removes it as well which is pretty cool ?

I also wanted to know this
but I'm not ready to root my phone as of yet!! I'm too chicken sh*t!!
On an unrelated note (or related to the navbar), can anyone tell me if it is possible to have a transparent navbar on stock UI with no root/unlocked bootloader? I tried using Nova and google launcher but both seem to have a blacked out navbar but transparent notification bar.

[Q] [GravityBox] Changing Lockscreen Wallpaper?

Hi there,
has anyone managed to change the lockscreen wallpaper with the help of GravityBox (the xposed module), because I simply can't. I can change the lockscreen through the settings (Personalization) but no matter what I choose in GravityBox it doesn't change a thing.
Any ideas?
Gravity box is for AOSP not OEM roms, it wont work or will work for things that arent alike AOSP
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Huh, somebody here said that there is no longer any need for AOSP since most of the tweaks can be achieved with gravitybox. Since there is no daily driver yet I thought as give it a shot. Thanks for the Info.

I worded that weirdly
It gravity box does work but non aosp things dont work like the lockscreen features (some work) but this is because the lockscreen is external from the framework(for example)

Auto-hide Navbar when launching widescreen apps

Is it possible to auto-hide the navbar if I start a widescreen game/app?
Maybe with a xposed module.
In the Z2 stock rom the navbar hides when I start an app.
I'm using CM11.

app settings via xposed
just change the screen mode to imersive or forced
Thx again for your helpful answer (like in the eXistenZ Rom thread) but I think I'm using the wrong module now.
I've tried a module called "Immerse Me", this is my solution, but activates in vertical screen too without open any apps.
The other module called "App Settings" is to annoying to setup some permissions for every single app.
You got a screenshot of the correct app and name? Or better a link

the one i was talking about is literely called App Settings
i dont realy know of any others that do the job your looking for so try some modules out

Quick settings touch and hold.

Anyone know of any kind of mod, xposed module or anything else that enables me to enter the specified setting by long holding corresponding setting from quick settings? Tried xperia quicksettings long click in xposed, did not work on 4.4.4.

I messaged the dev about it but they havent done anything about it and i see no alternate
That's too bad ? can't understand why sony implemented the quick settings this way! Let's hope for a fix in the near future ?

I hope too. Its just anoying to hold and tap vs just hold
I found out that the Xposed module "Xperia Xposed" by SERAJR offers this functionality when activating the "system UI" customization part in the app. Here's the link
