BBM for android
BBM on Android is an application that has recently been discovered. The application itself has became very popular in the last week, and it has been shared on reddit, digg and pinterest by a lot of people. BBM on Android, as the official name for the app calls, is an application that simply installs the complete Blackberry Messenger system on Android devices, like smartphones, laptops and tablets.
The application has all the functions of the real BBM, but now its compatible with the Android operating system. You can send messages very fast, have multiple conversations with multiple kinds of people at one time. You can also add photo's, videos and use smileys, just like the regular BBM version!

thanks, I m trying

Not sure if that sheds some light..
In one of the most shocking announcements in recent memory, BlackBerry has announced they will launching BBM across two new platforms, iOS and Android. BlackBerry Messenger, which has been a staple of old and new BlackBerry smartphones alike, has been exclusive to our favorite operating system for its entire existence. The move comes as a bit of shocker to die-hard fans, but many analysts think this can be a good stepping stone for BlackBerry if they intend to eventually be a software and services company only.
BBM isn’t going fully cross platform yet though. For the time being, it will only be available in the App Store for the iPhone (not iPad or iPad mini), and Google Play for select Android devices (running Jelly Bean). Windows Phone users may end up seeing it down the line but no timetable has been given for BBM on WP8.
The decision to bring BBM to other operating systems could be to try to entice ex-BlackBerry users to come back by giving them a taste of what they're missing on BB10. BBM Video Chat will be working fully on both iOS and Android devices as well.

There are a lot of fake apps and some even made it to the play store. Be careful to install the official app when it comes out. There is a thread for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446528
Hey guys...
I want to ask something..
Since i don't get the update, i want to ask something to someone that already update....
What's the different UI, battery life, camera, etc compare to the 4.2
Sorry about my grammar
- 4.3 UI looks like xperia z1 ui. And has theme downloadable from Sony select
- One hand keyboard
- Messiging app.contacts app nice changes
-Battery much better.
- Camera app changed. And more options.
-small apps. Now u can open more than one small app on the same time.
- x reality (not sure)
- Many many other improvements

Seems smoother. NO x reality engine.... BRAVIA engine 2, don think that will change even with 4.4..... so far so good overall
I like how it looks and how smooth is it, but for me there still many bugs on this versión, my pone stucks, and when browing on chrome also, i had to push the reset button 2 times already, camera is better on 4.2 and on 4.2 versión .244 was so so much better. no stucks, no bugs for me, smooth great camera, so I decided to go back to 4.2 and ill w8 for sony to improve the 4.3 or launch the 4.4

I agree about the camera being better before the 4.3 update. I was thinking, after testing the camera once I updated to 4.3, that I wish I could switch back to 4.2. But you say you went back to 4.2? How do you do that? I have about zero knowledge of hacking/modding/custom firmwares/etc, so forgive me if it is supposed to be common knowledge. If you do decide to help me out in switching back to 4.2, perhaps it would be better to send a private message, instead of cluttering up this topic? Otherwise, though, I think I might just find a good alternate camera app from the Play Store.
But anyway, I do think overall, Android 4.2 was better. I don't think Sony really spent much time optimizing 4.3 for the Xperia ZL.

You can downgrade using Flashtool. You can try using the search box too. Many of us here have spent many (many) months and many hours per day to get to know and learn some about these basic operations and tweakings, and to not brick our devices in the attempt.
Please do a bit of researching and reading n.n
BTW, I think I'll wait for KIT KAT too. Looks like it's the hassel free bet.

Thanks for the suggestion. I searched around on this site for a little while and on Google yesterday. I'll look into the Flashtool thing too. The main risk that kind of drives me away from doing anything like rooting or what have you, is the chance of bricking my phone. I spent alot of money on my new ZL(a lot for me anyway), so I think for now I will probably just wait until Kit Kat like you. I think I read that Sony will be improving the camera when they release Kit Kat for the Z series phones, as well as some UI improvements, so it sounds as though they know the camera became slightly worse after 4.3. I hope anyway. But thanks for the help. :good:

You're welcome.
Actually, you don't need to know much. But it'd be useful to know more. You can be perfectly fine with a rooted stock ROM, like the 4.2.2.
Now, If you want "the best ROM", that can be a lot of researching, reading, flashing, testing and reflashing.
I'd suggest you to stay with the ROM Sony provides and that you just root it, when there's a easy way (like for the 4.2.2 rom).
There can be lot's of tweaks to do, there can be lot's of root apps to use; but almost all of them just need root. Nothing else. And most tweaks' benefits are not as noticeable as they were for earlier devices with less powerful hardware... So, not much to do there anyway.
I only use a little bunch of root apps, for example:
FullScreen (to play games full screen, mostly)
Rebooter (DoomLord's)
Dynamic NavBar (I use it with FullScreen)
ROM Toolbox Pro (to backup, uninstall, disable, etc some apps)
Disable Services (good to kill unwanted services like "Google Analytics Service")
AutoStarts (really usefull to help control what apps start with the system)
Set CPU (For cpu profiles to save some battery juice)
Avast's Anti Theft feature (quite important)
Avast's Backup app (quite usefull to restore/share apps's data and setings having several devices)
And some others.
With these I tweak the system a bit and make the UI a little more like I'd like it to be. The UI is fine, I'd just like the stupid navbar would hide itself by default when gaming n.n
Well, I got to this conclusion after checking out a lot of ROMs, and their pros and cons; that I'll better do my own little tweakings and the ROM is fine. Haha
Enjoy your time actually using the device. It's already -quite- fine. The 4.3 and 4.4 will make it much, much better, though!
The ZL has a lot of future and you did a very good bet by buying it. It's very beautiful.
Check out the apps I mention, you can learn some by reading what each is for.

I have a couple of quick questions about the xperia UI.
Recently, my ZL died in an accident. Due to my location, I had few replacement choices available, so I opted for a Galaxy S4. It wasn't my first choice, but it's not a bad phone.
There are a few things I miss.
First, what is that thing circled in red on the first picture called? It's a launcher of small apps that appears on the bottom panel when you open Recent Apps. Samsung doesn't have it, so I'm assuming it's an Xperia thing. I want to search for an app or a mod that can perform a similar function, but I don't know what it's called, or if there's an app that does it.
Secondly, I was really getting to like the Xperia's "Album" software. I've found gallery apps that organize in a similar way, but don't include a home screen widget that allows the user to flip through photos. Can this "Album" app be installed on the S4, if so,how, and if not, can anyone recommend a good replacement?
I don't think thats possible on a sammy phone... not unless you port the stock xperia rom to the S4... But you should head over to the s4 forum and maybe ask someone to port it for you.... only the small apps if possible! Also Samsung has their multiwindow and all... maybe use that!
You could also root your phone and use floating window from xposed!

Well, my sister have a s4, and somehow i didn't like it...
And samsung doesn't have a small apps, and also , you can tweak your Xperia ZL using Xposed Modules (Need root but not custom rom)...
Like mine, you can customize the status bar icon, battery icon, nav bar, screen off animation, and many more!
Feel free to ask, bbm or pm me if you have a question

You can tweek any phone with Xposed, but why are you telling him that? didn't you read his post? He states that his ZL died and the S4 is a replacement, he's asking if it's possible to make his S4 to be closer to the ZL.
Now to the topic at hand, from what I heard it's a popular practice to port Sony apps to all Xperia phones as well as other phones. So if you go to the S4 forums you should be able to find the small apps as well as the album app, along with instructions on how to install them correctly. Good luck man, and don't be sad, the S4 is a bit better than the ZL anyway.

I found a bundle of Xperia apps and flashed them, and I discovered the apps couldn't start without Xperia Home enabled and running. Needless to say, it didn't run well competing with Samsung's Touchwiz. Touchwiz can't be stopped or shut down. Most of the Xperia stuff didn't last a reboot. I couldn't get Walkman to run at all.
S4 may be a slightly better platform. It's got a better camera, for one. However, the better user experience goes to Xperia. Walkman's a better music app in every way that's important. Small apps are useful, especially screenshot for me. Album widget is irreplaceable. Now I've got 2 competing music apps, Adapt sound which breaks everything, 2 competing alarm clocks, and of course the one I don't want is the one I can't stop...
It was easy to root,though, to its credit.
Might just get a Z2 and give this one to my wife. Are those easy to root? Z2's, I mean?

Oh, that's a shame and kinda weird. I mean porting should imply that they have been modified to actually run on the device.
The Z2 is easy to root with towelroot or the Z2 root deamon we also used to root our ZL. Then again, everything is easy to root with towelroot.
The best music app is PowerAmp, Walkman kinda sucks when compared to that.
Here are the S4 forums, pick which model you have and see if they have properly ported Xperia apps.
Hi.
I am a hobby newbie programmer who would like to make my own android apps.
I say sorry before hand, if maybe some of my questions dont make sense or is a bit weird. Mind you I am a beginner, so I may confuse some things up.
Right now I dont have and Android Phone, But i am considering buying the Oneplus 3 as my first Android Unit.
My question is will this be a good phone to start developing some very simple Android apps on.
I am a bit confused about the Oxygen / Marsmellow OS.
Is the Oneplus 3 fully programable as every other Android phone even it uses the Oxygen OS ?
Can I use a tool like Android studio to develop apps on the Oneplus 3 like just out the box. Or will i have to do a lot of setup and download all kinds of weird stuff before I can get it to work ?
Also are there another phone in like the same price range that would be a better choise regarding i want it to work with Android studio without having to hazzle with all kinds of combatibility problems ?
Awww, your questions show that you'll have a loooooooong way until your first working/usable Android app...

Thanks a lot for the help
I will order the Oneplus 3 very soon when they get more covers in stock.
I have a Xperia XZ Premium, and also of course a Smartwatch 3 which work fine.
About a week ago my wife wanted to upgrade from her Xperia Z5 and so I bought her a Xperia XZ Premium to match mine. and all was fine until we came to try and alter the Classic Face !
As has been mentioned on here the "steps" no longer work, so all we did was change the three widgets, so we had 'battery level', 'date' and 'week number' and my wife wanted to do the same on her nice new phone
But she CAN'T.... for a start there is no little 'cog; in the middle of the watch face so I changed to another face and clicked on the 3 dots on the Classic Face, where the option to get the "settings" was there but when you click on this it tried to connect with Google Play to download the settings from somewhere but fails so obviously the app for that is missing !
So - no steps... and now you can't adjust/change anything like the widgets I have just mentioned, colours or anything else.... why, just why ?????
My still works OK, and I have removed and reinstalled Wear OS a few times on her phone but no joy
So whose fault is this ? Google messing with the OS ? or Sony not updating the watch face ? … or me for not being clever enough to work this out ?
Help please !
As my wife is driving me mad.. all she wants is the watch face she loves to be as she wants it … i.e. like mine !
Transfer app from you phone to hers

It looks like the underlying app required to change to setting on the Smartwatch 3 has been removed from the Playstore. I've just upgraded my Xperia and spent ages trying to find it. Eventually, I resorted to using an app that lets me transfer apps from my old phone to my new one. I used SwitchIt, it's quick and easy, and I transferred 2 apps - SmartWatch and Watch Faces (not sure this one is required but the SmartWatch app is). Everything works fine now and I can configure the widgets no probs.
Many Thanks !

Thanks for your reply, as they say better late than never
Seems like it was Sony's fault for removing the Smartwatch 3 App from the store !
We both LOVE our Smartwatch 3, and can't see any reason to 'upgrade' them as they foo everything we want...
Would be nice IF the brought out a Smartwatch 4, as we would certainly buy one !
I won't hold my breath though as they ditched laptops, then tablets and no sign of those coming back either, but my 3 'old' Sony laptops are all running fine on Windows 10 and my 4 Sony tablets are fine too despite no Android upgrades
