I didn't do much on customize, I kind of like Sony stock launcher look.

For customize, you can try Nova launcher or  ssLauncher.

yeap i got nova key. smile.gif
will install it soon

one question tho.. have you messed with DPI before? i wanna change it to 240dpi or so :S

cuz on my s2 i got used to 160dpi

but i guess i need root access for that..

Hi would like to ask, what is that CPU widget you're using? And what does the graph show?

I'm looking for a widget that can show CPU speed over time.

Thanks.

encountered some weird issues now..
plugged in USB to my laptop.

Xperia -> internal -> create new folder, but hangs..

then, unplug -> re-plugin -> folder is there..

weird.. but will restart and see how. hmm.gif

---
ALSO another issue.. i cant search for music in the walkman app?
for example, i clearly have "Drive By - Train" in my music list but when i search "drive, drive by, Drive By"
it states "no match" ? rclxub.gif

googled "cant search music xperia z" but no answers.. sweat.gif

hope someone can help me out..!

I will suggest you to make sure your screen display is always on when you are manage ur file with USB via laptop.
As the screen off may cause file transaction be paused.

okay i will do that and see if it fixes the issue!

QUOTE(nasiayam @ Jun 17 2013, 07:47 PM)
having that prob too, if not mistaken, read awhile ago its due to the mediaserver haven't refresh yet, i realized if use file manager to look for the music file then use walkman to play it, it will detect it

if not after restart phone ok d

restarted phone. still same. i guess i will wait for a few days and try again nod.gif

what folder did you put the music into? if you put in a folder with .nomedia present, than all media viewing app will skip the folder regardless of files you put in there

are there any altenatives on how to root .253?

checked on XDA.. most of the guides were to downgrade to .434 and then root then flash .253 with flashtool.

hmm if this is the only way then i guess i'll use this hmm.gif
