Hi.
Have been reading in t I have upgraded my Xperia S to 4.04CH, and it is a joy.
However, google / Sony have not optimized the usage of the screen of the smartphone, so the number of icons & apps available on every screen is limited.
Is there any way, that one coul "rearrange" the icons and free space on the different screens.
To illustrate i have taken a couple of screenshots.
Yellow boxes are items that ought to be moved
White boxes are umused areas that could be brought to use.
Anyone have any idea of how to do the above ?
Furthermore - is there a way, to get the phone to display a number 0-99/100 instead of the battery icon ?
Hope you have got some ideas
Thanks

you have to have root (and recovery is essential as well if you don't know how to use adb) and modify system files to achieve that. look in the Themes & Apps section, someone has already done that and made the flashable zips available for download.
regarding the home screen issue, again, you have to modify the apk file itself; edit the layout then rebuild the apk and flash/push it back to you phone. there's also a modded home screen app in the Themes & Apps section, though i haven't check what has been changed, so take a looky there.

It actually does have an led. It's hidden behind the speaker and only comes on when the battery is completely dead. I've seen it once. It's green.

I would say it's okay for the camera but not the best, its cheaper sibling Vivo Nex has better image quality compared with.
The speaker is mono unfortunately, I think they don't have enough space to fit a large audo component into that tiny upper frame, a bit sad.
Battery is above the average, will do a intensive battery consumption test once I have time.:fingers-crossed:

So far the only way is to get adb working
Type
Adb shell (hit enter)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher (hit enter)
However when you swipe up from center it gives you a blank screen. You then have to hit lock screen or drag up from center and hold to show recents then you can drag up from center and it will go to your launcher.
Before using the command above make sure you already have the 3rd party launcher installed
Got one from China, using in Canada right now
Google Assistance isnt working for me (cannot trigger via voice or home button)

Have trouble to disable voicemail notification, Pixel 2 can disable it via some trick but not working with Find X

My OFX should be arriving any minute now....
Is there an option in the settings to go without a lockscreen?
I don't use a lock screen of any sort, I'll be giving this app a shot (with & without a lock screen) to see what, if any, effect it has, with both swipe gestures & nav buttons.

I realize most people use a lockscreen but,thought some may be willing to go without one if, in exchange, you may be able to skip a couple of swipes/etc... in the process.

Yep, never use a lockscreen and go straight to the GUI from the fingerprint scanner or face unlock, positively hate the extra step. It's a key issue for me so I'm counting on you folks getting it resolved.

Found the setting to turn off lockscreen,but,at least for now,it comes at a price:
The good news: Look no further than developer options,it's the 2nd option.
The not so good: You're stuck with the yellow warning background in the status bar
The background color could be disabled on the VIVO NEX by killing the VIVO Services app,at least until the next reboot,not the best option,but,I could live with it.
Perhaps the OPPO equivalent,whatever that .apk is named,will serve us the same result,I'll be spending the better part of the evening trying out different apps.........

How do you like this device compared to the nex?
Came across this on Google+, the person who shared the apk pulled it from the Moto Z3 Play and must have modified to install as a user app. There is a full apk dump here on XDA from the Z3 play, but most of the apps will not install as user apps. I ran several virus checks (because I'm nervous like that) and it came out clean. It's working great on my Pixel 2 XL running Android 9.0 Pie. The weather animation is very cool and subtle, it only occurs when you first unlock your phone (it doesn't constantly animate the weather). Nice and clean design, I always love Moto's time and weather widgets. Even the older ones which were called "Command Center" widgets were, and still are great. This one is now my favorite.

So the new Pixel 3 Live wallpapers are out. Everything about the phone is out so this is not a surprise anymore. What I find interesting is that the new wallpapers make us of the AOD too. particularly the Pixie wallpaper has a tiny person on AOD for some time.
Apparently it requires Android P upgrade and the Pixel Wallpapers app installed for this apk to work correctly. Works without issues on my P2XL with Pie not rooted.
Link to article:
https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/google-pixel-3/
I was skeptical but this really does work, the live wallpapers show on AoD for a short time before going to just clock. Very nice find.
How safe is that APK you reckon?
The Pixel 3 LWPs seem to be working on my unrooted Pixel 2XL, but don't show the cool screen unlock animations that they show on my OnePlus 6 (running official Pie). The wallpapers all seem to work fine otherwise, but rarely with the unlocking animations on the Pixel - at least my device that is.
If it's not clear what I mean, basically on the OP6, these Pixel 3 LWPs each perform a different animation when I unlock the phone. All the 'drop in the ocean's WPs briefly shift from dark to light with a kinda electric wave effect; the bubble up WPs shift right to left from dark to light and the globe on the screen zooms out. The Bloom WPs also begin dark, followed by points of light glowing in thedark on the tips of each of the 'spikes' before the whole screen shifts to its light shade. On my Pixel 2XL, I simply go straight to the full LWP nearly event time I unlock it. Am I the only one with this issue? If not, I'm guessing the OP6's faster unlock may be what allows it to show the unlock animations.

Wow that sounds quite interesting. I have observed that the Groove wallpaper does not react to music too on the P2XL.
Although I have noticed that the wallpapers behave differently if the phone is charging. You can see the wallpapers moving on the AOD when plugged in and just static when not charging.
Also the SF and NY wallpapers have a cool light effect on the AOD when charging!

Hum, OK, I was wondering if someone ever heard of that website before this leak.
I have installed the live wallpapers and they work fine with the screen on. But the big issue that the majority of them flicker when in AoD, it is specially noticeable with the Earth, Moon and New Horizons wallpapers. I don't see the unlock animations either.
If we downloaded the apk and aren't yet getting the full notifications, is it likely they'll be fully updated ota at some point - or is that likely to happen only with the preloaded Pixel 3?
What is the best version to install on the pixel 2xls?
The official APK seems to flicker and does not have the animations.
One of the ports or do they all have the same issues?

I did not try the OP6 version yet. But for on P2XL the official APK seems to not cause flicker at least for the moonshot wallpaper.
Also the animations are moody as in they work sometimes but not always.
I would suggest go for the official apk as it is most likely to cause least issues elsewhere in the system.
It only flicker's when always display is ON for the PIXEL 2 XL you need to turn it off and switch to tap to wake and or lift to wake and you won't have those flickering issues
It looks like November security patch finally fixed flickering! I don't remember what exactly version of the app I'm using, but it works.
And still no animation.

I think it's likely the screen brightness- the flickering is easier to reproduce in dark.
When we disable the always on display, the animation works amazingly well and it is quite pleasant, on the other hand, if the ambient display is on, it starts flickering.
