Hello people
I have a question, I have install a new Xperia Home apk but it seams that is not working. I am reading that people can see the "overview" and "flooting widgets" but I can not see that. The only thing I can see is the X over the apps that I have installed. Also i have read that I have to remove everything from the desktop on my phone, and restart the phone, tried that too but nothing.
I have an unrooted Arc, .145. Thanks in advance for for your help.

hi all,
i've had my defy a couple of months now and i'm loving it.
just about the only thing i dislike about it is, i often accidently press the search key on the bottom right of the phone as i normally hold it with my right hand.
is there any way to disable the key? i know there's no inbuild way of doing it, so i guess we'd be looking at a hack.
i never use it, so wouldn't miss it at all.

If your phone has rooted, you can uninstall or remove the GoogleQuickSearchBox from the system/app. It helps.
If you are not sure how to do it, send me a PM.
which search key ?

thanks - i've now done that. only works on the homescreen but that's where it's most annoying, so a big help.

Hm. It should work globally not just on the home screen. Look around in you system/app and if you find a QuickSearchBox.apk remove it as well!
Ok I did something kinda retarded. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0.2 and it allows u to manipulate pretty much everything. I didn't notice this and accidentally removed the 'All Apps' button from the Desktop. How do I get it back ?
[Edit: Solved!]
Nevermind. Figured out a work around. Bleck !
Good thing

Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?
??
Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon

Try this
There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:
Screen off and lock
It's free in the Play Store. No root required.
I dont want a custom rom on this phone.

What are you talking about? Did you even try to install the app that I linked to?
Lol
my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=
The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.
ZL is a bit too big to handle by single hand. Sometimes I have to slide a couple of times to answer the phone call sucessfully.
So is it possible to replace it with a virtual button? I do think it cool for every vendor to follow apple.

Hey guys.
Today I update my Xperia S from Sony PC Companion, on JB 4.1.2. After an half hour of usage I noticed that there is no notification bar, then I noticed that there is no SmallApps, I can't change my lock screen wallpaper, and theme too, no sound on notifications, there is no also like it was on ICS: long press on home button will show your latest apps, now, nothing happen. Am I did something wrong, or it's that just by JB? If it is, I can tell that I'm truly disappointed.
so many changes from the leak, including not having main android features like long pressing home button and malfunctioning status bar defines that update was not successfully processed. try updating again
