Z2 Lockscreen? - Xperia Z2 General

Has the Z2 ditched the ''Blinds Effect'' Lockscreen from the Z/Z1 completely on the Z2? or is the option still there to use it? I thought it was one of the nicer lockscreen's about, shame if they have ditched it.

Ditched completely. There is a "glitter" effect now like in Playstation, and that's the only available option.

I am coming from Galaxy S series, so just a short question.
Does the lockscreen also have the transparent status bar in Android 4.4.2, as in the home screen?
I have only seen pics of 4.3 lockscreen.

Are you sure? Have you went into settings>lock screen and ticked the "widgets" box or whatever it says. It could have been turned off

Screenshots please!
Someone post some screenies please.
Just for peoples information this is a nice android over lay however on our hd2 the android widgets don't actually fit properly on the screen so its pretty unusable,i hope someone fixes this. Worth the download tho just so yall can see what its like!
EDIT: I just realized its not that our widgets are mis aligned and therefore don't fit, its that whilst using touch wiz launcher our android widgets seem to be slightly bigger then they should be....very strange. I wonder if someone with the technical know how could take a look into this because its a nice overlay, I love the simplicity of it and would be great to have fully functioning. But for me nothing beats htc sense so not too bothered

Best replacement launcher for Note

If you don't care for Touch Wiz, try LauncherPro - I found that it is way smoother on my Note than either ADW (which I use on my SGS) or Go launcher.
LauncherPro is the only one i never tried... i'm sure it's still zippier than TW

For some reason, SPB Shell 3D defaults to tablet mode on the Note. That's why the icons and widgets were so small. Once you change to the smartphone interface in "Experimental Settings," everything will become normal-sized.
SPB Shell really shows off the power of the Note. I had to use Launcher Pro with my Dell Streak because it just wasn't able to handle SPB Shell.

Just switched to Go Launcher! Wow! I can't believe this is free! It's an excellent replacement launcher. Thanks for the heads-up!
Not many people use LauncherPro nowadays, it seems. I do like the ability to set 15 shortcuts on the bottom quicklaunch bar. How does it run on the Galaxy Note, given that Touchwiz is GPU accelerated?
Neither Go launcher nor Launcher pro accept S-memo notes as widget. When you try to send the note as widget, it gets attached to tw anyway.

VTL.launcher is what I've been using on my note. This launcher is based on ADW but optimised for tablets, which will add allot of useful option for use on your note.

Am I the only person having issues with ADW EX and Go Launcher EX?
ADW EX: Layout is tablet, lots of overlapping, menu at the bottom is cut off in portrait mode.
Go Launcher EX: LAG LAG LAG when flipping through homescreens in 5x5.
Yep I tried all of them and they all sux on Note. Who cares about Launchers since we will have ICS

He said "will have" (ie: future tense). Theres been confirmation that the Note is indeed a device getting ICS... As for when that is, who knows. Samsungs firmware update schedules are always a laugh. I figure by the time ICS rolls around the XDA community would have provided about 40 different custom ROMs based on it anyway.

I just hope that the wacom digitizer drivers and custom behavior related to the stylus won't turn out to be too problematic to put into custom ROMs. it'd be a shame to choose between ICS or pen functionality, or wait for Samsung to release a touchwizified ICS.

[RUMOUR] Sense 5.5 leaked photos and features

Hi Guys,
Just found this:
http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/htc-sense-5-5-screenshots-leaked-looks-promising/
looks promising with the customisable/removable BlinkFeed and other delicius stuff.

I just hope they add 4x1 clock they removed in Sense 5. Missing it so much. Have used some alternatives but ain't satisfied.
Secondly, I can't understand why they removed WEATHER ANIMATION all together. That was one TOO AWESOME feature. Lock screen weather animation and as you unlock you'll get the animation again. That looked so damn beautiful.
Sense 5 is faster, YES, but has sacrificed the beauty.

Mike has a HTC One and it is running Sense 5.5

I won'r speculate on time lines but he proclaimed that ADB pull was alot faster than doing a nandroid.

Keeping 4x2 and removing 4x1 is kinda hard to understand. They'd have kept it along with a new black themed 4x1.
I tried a 3rd party app. EXACTLY IDENTICAL. Doesn't have the flip feature but it's identical to HTC's clock. ALAS! it had the text misplaced on our 1080p devices. Worked fine on my brother's 720p device. In fact, he is now using it on his Galaxy Mega.

Maybe get in touch with the app developer and see if they can add support for 1080p devices?
I'm curious to play around with the Dual Capture mode on the camera. It's one thing that S4 users can rub in my face. I think it would be interesting to use.
As far as potentially being a One Max exclusive... We are on XDA-Developers. It will be available on the One regardless of what they might (but probably not) exclusively release it on.
It will not be One Max exclusiv. The 4.3 update for the international HTC One was delayed with the express purpose of adding sense 5.5 to it before rolling it out to One owners. (this has been confirmed by a HTC exec, if you search for it)
My guess is that they will "launch" sense 5.5 with the One Max (more to talk about when presenting it) and immediately / soon after, launch the 4.3 / sense 5.5 update for the One after it's had its prime time with the One Max.

Google Experience Launcher

Just wonderering if anyone is using the Google Experience launcher? Looks really good on the note almost feels like a Nexus experience. Also it responds to the OK google command on the home screen. Always listening which I thought was only a feature on the Nexus 5 / Motorola?
I hate touchwiz and it was one of the main reasons I was hesitant about buying the note. Now I have the best of both world, best tablet and nexus like experience. The Spen etc still work perfectly. Worth giving it a try..

I was using Nova previously. Agree Nova is also superb. I have moved over to google experience as I have a nexus phone and like the fact basically consistent. I have been using android devices for years now but only used Nova a few months ago. Really impressive how it changes the feel / look of the tablet.
Googles launcher is free of course. I got the paid version of Nova...

Hello guys,
I'm coming in from the Note Pro side and wanted to reflect the OP comments. The launcher is smooth as butter and as stated it's as though the GNL was made for the Galaxy Note lineup. I've noticed all S Pen functionalities are fully intact. The best of both worlds...multi Window SPen features with a PURE Google experience!!!

Have you turned off screen rotation by mistake?
Just access the normal Samsung setting screen (by tugging the top of the screen down with your finger) and it is the 4th option from the left. Make sure it is selected... Only thing I can. Think of. Bet you have unselected it by mistake.

Yes, if you put the icons on the bottom row, then it is a dock and doesn't move as you swipe between screens.
I've got the paid Nova Launcher as well. I've stuck with it on my S3, but I haven't gone back on the tablet yet. On the S3, I thought the icons were too big and there is zero customization. However, I've enjoyed the Google Now Launcher on the tablet more so than I thought I would.
If there was a Google Now widget that is always listening that I could use with Nova, I would go back. Heck, I might still go back after the novelty of "Ok Google" wears off.
I finally did it......GREAT LAUNCHER!!!

The home screen icon "customization" is pretty disappointing. No support for icon packs? Lame. I wonder if Smart Bulletin will be worthwhile enough to keep me from switching to Nova like I always do.

Actually if themes add support for LG Home it will, only found 1 theme which does ;}
If only they included a way to make the on screen navigation buttons smaller. Guess we'll have to rely on eXposed.
