4.2.2 the lockscreen kind sux. Always i power on to the lock screen it will show somekind of page layout for like 1 sec before disappear. Look very ugly the thing.
Then somemore can scroll 1. I use pattern unlocking so sometime it will scroll to other page instead of unlock the phone.
*

That thing is Android 4.2.2 stock style.

For correct scroll unlocked, advise scroll bottom a bit, at wording area that part.

Im use pattern not scroll
Ya my pattern is start from the side and usually i do it 1 hand. So will touch from the side first and then kena la the problem it will scroll to next page of lockscreen instead of unlock.

Got option to lock the lock screen so no other page or not? I not yet explore the settings of new update
*

Oh, then I no idea, never try on pattern. Anyway Sony really need more hard work on new lockscreen for v4.2.2


QUOTE(joytest @ Jul 4 2013, 05:08 PM)
Nice one andrewtst

I would like to advise that administering the ROM list will be a major headache when you get more ROMs.

Still I believe you will be able to expand the page 1 knowledgebase in the next version.

FYI each post has a 50k character limit.
*

Thanks. smile.gif

I think shall be ok, and not much ROM available, I only mention the main ROM title not the version. Also ROM that too little people use didn't put in main page to prevent serious bugs probably on that ROM, I can't test all, at least I won't test on CM, AOKP, AOSP ROM. Hehe!

Finally had sometimes do some screenshot in latest eXistenZ - Ultra Edition - Honami Port ROM.

This is the most complete port, include all the Honami color and working in every change of keyboard and contact color selection. Also now the app drawer semi transparent is act correctly as it suppose, look much nicer now. biggrin.gif

Also, extra add-on cool Android 4.3 stock camera with support of Photosphere.

The only not working is Sound effects at Settings - Sound, also Honami camera will FC in superior auto when enable force GPU in development options.

What data package you subscribe to?

When I called Maxis customer service, the person told me the following in order to get LTE :

1) Only 5 or 6 phones are supported by Maxis for LTE and Sony XZ is not one of them.

2) Must get new micro sim. Old sim card cut to micro size cannot get LTE

I think these people don't really know what they are talking about....

All Maxis worker has been train talk like that, ignore them. smile.gif

International no issue.

But the Chinese keyboard, you need go to setting and set gesture only for both Chinese & English keyboard.
