What do you home screens look like? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion

Personally i'm never big on the OEM looks on any phone. I always like to have some personalisation on any phone i have.
I try to keep things simple.
Launcher - Nova Launcher prime
Icon pack - Whicons
Wallpaper - not sure where i found it.
But i'm trying to find a nice weather widget that goes with it. I usually use the Yahoo one but theres some issues with the location name not appaearing as it should but as a basic small black text.

Launcher - nova launcher
Icons - pixel icons
Wall - I can't remember

Nova launcher with each icon in similar colours chosen from different packs.

Nova Pixelated
I like the simplicity of the pixel launcher but I want the versatility of the Nova launcheer. So I combine both and this what I get.

Using Arrow launcher, standard Icon pack that comes with it and I use wallpaper changer that changes my wallpaper on every unlock or double tap. Got 100+ images in my folder
Edit: oh yea and a nice PlayStation theme for the navigation buttons and PlayStation sounds

Nothing fancy

The homescreen design built in KLWP was a preset I got from the play store that I just edited for personal use. I didnt create all elements of the KLWP preset. I also merged 2 presets together. Just wish I could hide the navigation bar on Nova Launcher like I had on my Z2 which I used root for.
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
Lockscreen Wallpaper: Static Kingdom Hearts Wallpaper
Home Screen Wallpaper: KLWP Live Wallpaper
Background: Kingdom Hearts Static Wallpaper
Dynamic Live Weather which moves across the screen
Interactive wallpaper so that icons can be selected to open apps

Tried to make it as clean as possible
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
Lockscreen Wallpaper: Wallpaper from Lines Icon Pack
Home Screen Wallpaper: Lines 44 from Lines Icon Pack
Icons: Lines Icon Pack

Using Nova Launcher Prime, pretty much a clean look with a Pixel sort of theme (nav bar and accent colour)

Update on homescreen, Blue Xperia loops still clean!

Hi there, to change the amount of dock icons on the bottom, go to the app that is Nova Settings, from there select the Dock sub-menu. From there you will see an option of Dock Icons, and you may choose as many as you want, from 1 to 7.
Hope this helps!
I'm also using NL, I like being able to lock the homescreens so my younger nieces don't mess things up. I do miss the TouchWiz calendar widgets tho.

How to make transparent app drawer?

For now theres only 2 option, white and black(dark mode).. Is there any tweak to make it semi transparent or totally transparent for oxygen os app drawer?
You could use a different launcher such as Nova. Don't think oxygen launcher let's you change it to transparent?
Yeah, i know about it. But i dont really like nova launcher

[Request] Sense 7 Icons

I'm looking for the default app drawer and folder background icons from the Sense 7 launcher. The app drawer button I'm looking for consists of 9 small circles in a square shape, and the folder icon is square in shape with a dark, semi-transparent background. Basically what the M9 launcher uses out-of-the-box. This thread mentions how to pull those icons out of a stock Sense ROM. I'm looking for these to be in PNG format so they are usable in Nova Launcher. Thanks!

Icons with Google Launcher and theme applied

Android 6.0.1
Google Launcher
Material Theme from Samsung store applied
Some icons (gallery, phone, messages) appear as touch wiz icons and not as applied theme
I think themed icons from Sammy themes only work with touchwiz launcher. I use this excellent little app to change icons: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger It changes the Icons on your screen by creating a shortcut but doesn't change it in the app drawer though.

thanks will have a look...
dunno, with Lollipop behaviour was erratic: recently for sure the icons were the themed ones at the beginning they were the samsung ones, but I am not sure what had changed to cause the switch from samsung to themed icons
