Box is must use. 50gb online storage. Super useful. I store all my photos in there almost 25gb. Used almost 10 day's to full sync to Box.

I had tried, no issue for me.

You use foldersync? I sync my photos to my gdrive. Hahaha

Last time never bother but now I find it to be very convenient.. to backup to the cloud

Instruction for download any firmware base on region from Sony & create FTF for flash with Flashtool:

Never use this two things before.

Xposed is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 ? Look complicate.

Another appsetting module, can't find.

App I recommended is common from Play Store. smile.gif Except that AdAway where once in Play Store also before Google remove it.
*
I can provide the link later.

not that complicated. Less than 4 steps laugh.gif

This brings in a PA prefs clone to stock rom so we can adjust apps to tablet mode/change dpi if we want to..

Totally no need to unlock bootloader just to gain control over "per-app-dpi " feature..
Just root will do nod.gif

Oh, I see, will it slow down or? I look around, notice got quite some modified base on this framework.

Nah. Wont slow down.

You used xposed app before?

It wont affect the original file. It morphs your setup/mods and apply to the appropriate apk files.
Once you disable it, it goes back to normal. nod.gif

But not every xposed module is compatible tho..
In xda xperia z themes/app thread, got 1 module to disable the "data has been disabled" nag notification ..very useful thumbup.gif

1. disable data nag notification with xposed app (also enabled call recording directly from active call -> 3 dot settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353103
^ can choose to flash or use xposed app (recommended to use xposed app as it will not replace your current system files)

2. app setting module (clone of PA prefs, per-app-dpi) (download in attachment):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

3. other xposed modules/rooted apps for xperia z:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348355
^ install modaco toolkit to enable 180 degrees rotation drool.gif (just an extra feature)

4. list of all xposed modules on xda/other sources (some may not work on our xperia z):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541



*** with all these xposed modules there's really no reason to flash AOSP roms anymore since we'll have most of the features from AOSP (basic customizations which should be enough for normal usage) thru all these modules working on stock sony rom drool.gif

Andrewtst

some apps i customized with app setting module to enable tablet mode view brows.gif
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry61341844
(stock sms app/gmail)

playstore with tablet mode:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


aosp browser with tablet mode:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


- to get aosp browser on stock sony rom, download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...aW5zdGFsbGVyIl0.

can u give me the setting for dpi,font scale n screen(dp) for email n message for app setting
*
are you planning to make EVERYTHING small scaled? including the system?
if yes:

1. download any root explorer
2. navigate to system/build.prop -> edit it (make sure its r/w)
3. scroll to the bottom and find the line with "ro.sf.lcd_density = 480" change the value to 360
4. save and exit -> reboot

(note: if you are paranoid/phobia, just do a nandroid backup.. incase you misunderstood the step)

messaging = 320DPI, 600x1024, tablet
calculator = 480DPI, default reso. no tablet
calendar (my preference) = 240DPI, 600x1024, ticked "tablet"
google play = 240DPI, 800x1280, tablet
chrome/aosp browser = 360DPI, 600x1024, no tablet (chrome might need to tick)
gmail = 360DPI, 800x1280, tablet

save it/force stop/start the app again.. then it should change

your dialer will be off-position a little (unless you dont mind) but you can install ex-dialer, its a much better dialer compared to stock nod.gif (and closest to sony's experience with a little added features/shortcuts)

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jul 8 2013, 05:32 PM)
Sony shall make the widget for WALKMAN compatible with 4.2.2 lockscreen.

By default of 4.2.2, they is no Music Widget like what Sony did last time, and Sony remove it probably need for slide right to access the lockscreen widget.

But Sony can do a separate widget for it.

Also, Sony really need to redo the whole lockscreen, current Sony lockscreen for 4.2.2 is the worst I ever seen/play. It just something not correct, if the 3D flip part not working, then Sony shall remove it and implement with others effect or even stock 4.2.2 which run much perfect.
Tomorrow will check out but I don't think I will use it, I am satisfied with current stock look. smile.gif

got any app to enable tapping to unlock? saw the thread on XDA but it was reported as buggy. sweat.gif

Thanks you.just one question.i dont see any tablet setting in my app setting.
[attachmentid=3526609]

what's your appsetting module version?

im running 0.0.9 (i guess mine's the old version)


anyway, just set the resolution -> save then force stop the app -> restart the app, and see if its changed to tablet mode.

:: i think its replaced with "xtralarge.." ?

yea, 1 thing i like about sony is that even those smaller requirements from the smaller audience = they also listen

other brands they only focus what the major market wants..

sony balances it.

unlocking bootloader is 1 example dy.. not everyone wants to unlock, but they still allow it (legally in a way) for the smaller audience. haha

Bro, what is the best dpi setting for browser? I wana try this later on my fav browser firefox on xperia z.

i set to 360DPI, 600x1024, save/force close/restart app to see the difference.

but to bear in mind it'll be changed to google tablet version, you might or might not like it. nod.gif

for me im fine with it. as tablet mode of the browser brings in more icons to gain "control" over the app.
