[Q] Ra3al Xperia Z Launcher 2.0.5b

Hey everyone! I am using ra3al's Xperia Z Launcher and when I untick the option "Keep in memory", it doesn't change anything as it is still there
when I look at the "Running" tab in application settings. This eats about 20mb RAM and I would like to know if there is any way to stop this :\ Any
idea? It is a very good launcher and I don't want to close the process myself everytime :\
Thanks for your time!

if you use the launcher it is normal to run in background. uninstall stock home.apk and convert z launcher as system apps.

How to delete suggested apps

After marshmallow update, they added a swipe down feature while on home screen where it will show suggested/recently used apps . So how do I clear that? THANKS

Long press on homescreen, settings then the first option available is legacy or modern then choose legacy

But theres no such option for me. How do i off? Its freaking annoying everytime i wanna swipe down the notification it will go to suggested app

I have the same problem on the Sony Z3 Compact. Is this a Sony "feature"? I've just uodated updated to Android 6. I never had these irritating suggestions before.
There are ten suggested apps on this menu, six of which I have never used and have no interest in using.

App suggestions
I have a Z3+ and the new update doesn't have the options for how apps are shown ( frequently used, own order etc) and the VERY annoying features of staying on the page you were last and having a page of suggested apps which i HATE!!
How can I get back to how it used to be before 6.0.

thanks broo

New Phone app for XZ premium

Sony just updated Phone app ( Dialer app ) for xperia XZ premium, same as XZ1 have.
There are XZ1 Moded Phone app available in XDA but all functions not work in that app.
But Sony give that app officially to XZ Premium
You can download that app from Here
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/sony-phone/sony-phone-10-0-release/
Install it as normal apk, and it will update our existing phone app. If you did not like it then you can uninstall the update from Settings/Apps & Notifications / App info / select all apps then search for phone app click on it and press three dot button on the up right corner from there you can uninstall the update

Takes away the default voicemail option in settings
Installed this and while fiddling around, saw that the voicemail option (by service provider) was missing.
Reverted back to 3.00

It's not working fine if you hanged the screen resolution to 4k
Update : it seems that it's working just fine now, at first I had a couple of forced closed and phone app is not responding but now it's all good (Y)
