try change to swipe also cannot enable at lockscreen.

pull down the "half-way" semi dark background to the bottom.. (instead of showing swipe to unlock, it only shows the arrow)
-> then long press on the default clock until you can see a "X" and throw it away
-> then a "+" sign should show up. tap that and try to find for dashclock.

read the review of the font changer apps then seems like so many ppl brick their phone with that app. lol

do you have any file link for font that can work by flashing thru cwm?
*
hmmm, no problems on my s2 last time.
xperia z haven tried and just checked the play store link, seems like no one tested with xperia z yet.

you can manually change them if you are rooted. just use root explorer..
but you must manually rename each file according to the system given file name or else you'll also end up bricking/boot looping.

dont forget to change permissions to rw-r-r

i looked into the sony sketch font file, only got the sony sketch font file. dont have those roboto etc.
nvm i think i just forget it  laugh.gif
*
well, i dont want to mess with fonts now. laugh.gif

considering sony updates their firmware well..

can even change apps to multi DPI applications, which 1 thing sony understands (for the smaller market)
as i cannot use the phone if everything's too big, i set it to 360 XHDPI or HDPI instead of the 480 XXHDPI

last time i used CM rom was due to the DPI issues, but now since sony can change the DPI without ruining the app's GUI. there's no reason for me to switch rom.

now with 4.2.2 can change toggles and install lockscreen widgets also drool.gif

I flashed my Xperia Z on .253 with [FTF] Stock 10.1.A.1.434 (4.1.2) GLOBAL SE unbranded C6603(LTE) and then received the prompt to update to 4.2.2 (.423)

Global is usually used where since each region seems to have their own copy?

Also, does 4.2.2 still show LTE or 4G? I'm only seeing 4G now instead of LTE before on 4.1.2
*
hmmm, not so sure actually.
cuz i compared with andrew's screenshot in his about phone.
all the details are the same
[nut]'s .307 then use SUS to update..

so i guess it should be okay..?
but im not sure how it would be like if i enter *#*#SERVICE#*#* -> Service Info -> Software Info :S

mine's R4B, GLOBAL.

If you're going to wait, you'll be waiting forever. Buy what you want/need now. When it comes to tech, you're never going to be up to date (well, maybe for a month or so) but it never lasts long.

Just buy whatever now.

agree...

if you like, you buy.

if keep waiting, forever keep waiting already. no need to buy..

xperia z is 6 months old but i still bought it about 2-3 weeks ago. thumbup.gif
