Hello guys!
Hopefully a quick question to answer.
My issue is that the only clock widget I have is an analouge clock which dont have numbers. I'd really want a digital clock as shown in the preview of the themes you can chose from. I tried switching theme but still no digital clock. Also checked for settings in "clock" but no option to change its type and there is only one widget and that is the analouge one.
I've searched the internet but found no solution other than installing a 3rd party app which I dont want to do.
I got my Poco F1 yesterday and during install I chose the Nova Launcher (dont know if this matters)
Not sure if it has to do with my region (Sweden) or not, but it sure is annoying.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: My lock screen has a digital clock which I would want on my home screen as well.
Ok, so I switched to POCO launcher and now I have a digital clock, problem is, I dont like poco launcher, I really wanna use Nova. Could not find any settings about the clock in nova settings either, so is there no way? :/
Consider installing Clock app by Google. It is basically the same as stock, but widget can be used by Nova launcher.
Had exactly the same problem, after quick Googling I gave up and did what I proposed to you.
Miui themes doesn't support third party launcher for a clock. Also if you let's say change icons in Poco launcher clock so return to stock one. Here you have an example

Yeah, I will consider it.
Thanks to both of you for your quick responses, much appreciated.
If you press for a while on desktop screen you'll find a choice to add widget. choose any digital clock from the three options you see.

Hi I'm thinking of changing the Xperia home for something else. What of the alternate launchers would you recommend me? My priorities is efficiency, customizability, good organization and nice look. Moreover I tried some and noticed that it can't insert some of built-in default widgets, namely Xperia clock 2x1, Xperia notes 2x2 and Xperia system toggles 2x1. How do I use these in 3rd party launcher? Can I install these widgets as standalone app so that be accessible from any launcher?

If u want a fast, stable and customizable launcher, I would definitely recommend nova launcher... Smooth as silk!
For the widgets part, as far as I know, Sony widgets are only supported in Sony made launchers!
U could try xperia z launcher, its really good n smooth too! (but mobile needs to be rootednfor that)
Cheers..
XZ launcher seems not to be found on google play and too bad the 3 named widgets not available outside Xperia Home. I'm already used with them and thanks for confirming Nova, I have hesitated between this apex and sslauncher.

Vote for nova
I've tried it. But switched and used Sony Launcher again.
I like those widgets too
Sorry for going a bit off topic but, is there any Launcher that allows us to change its menu icon..
Most of the launchers come with AOSP menu icon and aren't changeable. I want one that can be changed to xperia like.

Yet a suggestion for acceptable Xperia clock widget replacement? I hate Clock JB+ and several ones I don't like too. Mostly I miss the tight widget integration with alarms and small size (2x1 only) with decent look. I also want to have shown date within the widget.
Is there way to extract these internal widgets somehow and install as standalone app?
Hi to everyone, I just upgrade honor 7 with mm. I'm using nova launcher and I noticed that now all of my widget doesn't work well. For example clock doesn't work and the time doesn't go on. Can you help me? Thanks
just installed nova launcher (trial version) and clock works fine.....I am on B320...
I'm experiencing this too. Can see my clock widget and my real time at the top. Using Nova launcher with weather widget. Not sure is it due to marshmallow, or nova launcher or the widget itself.

When you unlock the phone the widget clock is synced with the phone´s clock. But if you maintain the screen on, as time goes by, the widget is not updated.
This happens with other phones and clocks/apps. Seems to be a "feature" and not a bug
Probably a energy or security restrain.
I fixed it going to advance setting in the app section and giving the permission to wake up the phone to keep running also when the screen is off To the widget. Now works fine
POCO Launcher is surprisingly simple and elegant — at least, for Xiaomi. It might look simple, but it packs in plenty of options, including things as detailed as different transition animations, sort of like Nova Launcher. The app drawer is accessible via a convenient and typical upward swipe, and apps are organized by type into categories like communication and entertainment.
The setup process is straightforward, and there are a surprising number of individual settings to explore, though it doesn't hold a candle to things like Nova Launcher when it comes to sheer customization options. Presumably, it's also in active development, so we should see more features landing soon.
Unfortunately, we can't download it over on the Play Store since the beta program registration is currently full. However, we can download it from APK Mirror .

I would like to see a dark theme in it... But all of MIUI has light theme..
I would have loved to see an option to resize the icons, did not find it through the setting so far, wonder if it is available yet.

It depends on the theme that you have installed in your MIUI-powered phone. For example "Geometry Black" that I have in my Mi5 is dark everywhere. In general, the default themes that xiaomi phone have are light-themed.
I don't know what is the similar theme for Poco and if this theme is compatible with it as I don't have it yet.

geometry black is available in themes and it tuns background o black for settings and all. The app drawer still stays white tough, which defeats its purpose. It more for MIUI & not optimised for "MIUI for POCO"
Just moved to Nova for a two reasons:
*no option to set grid sizes ( desktop and app drawer).
*Nova teslaUnread add on solves (at least temporary) lack of notification problem in notification bar.
*ability to change color/transparency of app drawer background.

By this do u mean the unread count badge on home page icons or does Nova give u notification in the status bar.
Even Poco gives unread badge just not the counts.

Yes, I meant badges and sadly is doesn't work properly for some apps. maybe I missed this option on poco launcher. But still grid adjustment is nesasary.
Yeah, it's great, but I would like to have 4 icons in a row with bigger icons, such as in iOS.
Also, some kind of live or scrollable wallpapers support would be nice.
Individual change of icons such as in Nova Launcher, too.

It's basically the same miui launcher with the added app drawer
its there a way to change the navigation bar color scheme, for some reason on dark apps the navigation bar below its all white its horrible
Something funny i noticed with Poco launcher.
Locking homescreen layout should mean no icon/widget can either be added to or removed from the homescreen.
But apparently, after you lock homescreen layout in settings, you can still add an app shortcut to the homescreen but you can't add a widget!
Just updated to latest Poco launcher,was the word on the header at the app drawer before?
No, it wasn't.
Did you update from PlayStore?
Post some impressions, please. Is it OK or is it buggy?

I´m not using actually this rom but take a look in the settings of the launcher and if is not available this option then replace the launcher.
Ok. Thanks
i'm new with sansung, came from Oneplus (my last one was oneplus 8 pro) and there i could first of all change every icon on homescreen individually and choose whichever icon i want to set. And now on the S23 Ultra i just cant figure out how to do that. so how do i change icons in S23, is it a launcher thing? do i suppose to go as far as Rooting my device to enable such features?
also, in the oneplus i have the option to set wide wallpapers which scrolled together as i scrolled through the homescreen pages, is there a way to do that here?
Samsung Galaxy store download the Samsung app called theme park, that's where you customize oneui (Samsung Android skin) also there's a whole bunch of Samsung apps you'll want for customization goodlock and theme park have them for you to download

As stated in the post before, you have "Good Lock" and its modules, or with one of the launchers, e.g. "Nova Launcher" with which you can do exactly what you mentioned... and much more...
Just use 3rd party launcher, and it would be easy peasy,
Nova Launcher is what i currently use
