Hi There,
New owner of the Xperia Play here.
Loving the device thus far however I'd like to make one change if people can help me out.
Coming from the Desire HD I much prefer the swipe downwards to unlock method which is employed by Sense.
Is there any way for me to change the method of unlock on my Xperia Play?
Currently I haven't rooted my phone however I am looking at it as a possibility for the future and if this is a feature that requires root it will likely hasten that decision.
Thanks!
Try widget locker...
Its the best application that cqn change lockscreen style...

I am getting a Desire soon and personally I would rather remove Sense UI, but this is not longer possible the easy way.
Can anyone explain if you can remove sense another way? I have heard people say to use Launcher2 or HelixLauncher to get the 3D app drawer and the nexus one launcher. Can anyone confirm this works?
Thanks!
Yep if your install either you can make them default and use them instead but it will still have the Sense theming of all the apps / status bar etc and obv the HTC widgets wont work
ok thanks or the quick reply
so if i use either of these launchers i will not be able to use HTC widgets?
and when/if the desire gets rooted i'll be able to stick a nexus one rom on?
has anyone had any experience with either of these launchers on the desire?
im new to android so i apologise for the noobish questions
Not a problem
Nope you won't be able to use the HTC Widgets... but you can launch the HTC Sense launcher at any time and get access to your widgets though it's a bit of hassle doing that everytime hence i'm gonna stick with htc sense launcher myself.
Both the nexus launcher and helix work great on my Desire, no problems as far as i've been using it.
Not sure about putting then nexus rom though, sorry
thanks for the info.
so installing launcher2 enables the 3D app drawer from the nexus one?
just to clarify lol
Yep the home screen looks like the nexus one and you get the 3D drawer with fades. It looks pretty good! I just wish the widgets still worked then it would be perfect.
thanks again for your quick reply
so where do i download this launcher 2? from the android market when i get the phone?
sorry so many questions!
Not a problem,
Helix you can get from the market but launcher2 you will need to get from somewhere else but if you search these forums you will find one you can install no problem
awesome, thanks again.
one last request: which version did you use? i've searched here and elsewhere and each version is different and im not sure which to use
I'm not sure to be honest, if you know how to check then I can tell you?
Hey I want to ask if it's possible to add for HTC Desire Xperia X10 lock screen ..

Hi,
if you use LockBot Pro you can get X10 lockscreen. But Pro is paid app
Anyone who knows how I can get paid apps on Market?
Yer ... pay for 'em !!
But when I live in Norway there's no paid apps in market .. How can I get it without rooting my phone?
Thanks . I will buy LockBot Pro

You can't. Either wait for Google to expand to Norway, or root and use Marked Enabler.
btw Desire = 2.1, X10 = 1.6 so its not as easy as u think
Lock Screen on Xperia X10 sucks big time and sometimes you struggle to bloody unlock the phone.
I just moved from a Dinc to the GN and am on the stock rom. On the Dinc I had widgetlocker and was able to unlock the phone to the home screen instead of unlocking into whatever app I was previously using. On the GN I like the lock screen and don't really want to lose that but don't want to unlock into whatever app was last used. Is there anyway to unlock to the home screen and retain the stock unlock functionality?
Nobody? I would've thought this to be a pain for a lot more people.

To do that I am using ADW Ex.
Some people would argue that the Widget Locker screen is almost identical to the Nexus...
Happy Friday Fellow Xperia Play Owners and developers!!!
While perusing trough the development section for xperia play devices I was looking at a couple of things I could do to my Xperia Play when I got an idea.
Would it be possible for at the home unlock screen, instead of a pattern or code unlock, would anyone be able to develop a Game Pad unlock?
For example, Cheat codes.
I've grown up on PlayStation enough to memorize up, down, left, right, left trigger, right trigger, triangle, cross, square, circle to unlock a cheat code. Could the same be attempted for the xperia play?
Let me know what you all think

But, would you want to open the gamepad every time that you want to use your phone?
Sent from my R800i using XDA
If you just don't set up a passcode/pattern, you can already unlock the phone by sliding open the pad while it's still in standby. If the phone is already turned on and showing the slider, it won't work though
Well I've never really had success with opening the screen with just the gamepad, I just thought it would be completely attractive to have that kind of option.

This is a cool idea! It could be a really good security feature because almost nobody would be able to guess the code and realize that you have to use the game pad. I'd probably set it to be Yoshimitsu's turning sword suicide from Soul Caliber 2 because it would be ironic that you must use a very powerful move that could kill you if you miss or you don't get a ko. I might also do up down left right a b start from Sonic 1 because it was the first code I ever learned. I might also choose to do a simple haduken because you can't go wrong with that classic right?

That's exactly how I feel, and in term of getting it done the question is how?

I just want to know if it is possible to do this. No root please.
Don't you just hate it when you have a big arse screen but they give you the extremely huge and tight interface? For Google Chrome as example, we have to press "option" button before we can use "bookmark", or "refresh page", or whatevasss?
Why can't we use it like on Tablet? I will attach screenshot of "chrome" on my Note 10.1 2014 later (my apology) to let you guys know how it looks compare with the mobile version.
you will need root, and then per-app settings to change the DPI for Chrome to make it work in tablet mode.
Did it long ago with Sony Xperia Z Ultra
I may be wrong as that is 2 years ago and there could be new method now

I really need to know what's on developer's mind. What the hell, really. It's so inconvenient to use. And if we want it to be convenient, we need to void our warranty by rooting and chit.
This is frustrating. But I still prefer to stick my arse to this than rooting.
