It's a kind of screensaver service I guess
Remember old NOKIA symbian days where we used to get a clock always displayed on the screen for infinite
The feature is a good addon but yes it uses a lot of battery
Thank god we have a option to turn it OFF or ON on our will

Sorry if my statement wasn't 100% clear. What I wanted to say is, that I get this feature with the 4.2.2 update. I'm not sure if this feature was already implemented in the .253 update or the .307 firmware. And I like the preview feature a lot!

For the size of the battery, it seems fine to me. I had a Note and Note 2 before this phone, and they lasted longer but had bigger batteries. I see lots of people thinking they have battery issues, but it's got a 5" screen. LTE is a pig in my experience, so you have to look at things like that.

Well in that case welcome to SONY family I am a big fan of sony having used X8 then ARC then Xperia S and now the beast Xperia ZL
Yes Samsung Note series does definitely win in terms of battery but in many things they are far behind SONY
Hope you are enjoying being with SONY

I'm loving the ZL. I had the chance to get the S4, but I just wanted something different. No regrets! Also, all my coworkers who got the S4 say my phone looks smaller

That's the best part ZL is definitely most compact 5" phone present in market and even smaller than many 4.7" or greater size phones
A new fw update is available. 2.67
Its still 4.2.2 but resolves the screen flickering issue for My Device

Welcome
A working Active Clipper is needed (unless we get 4.3 early)
As far as I know one can find this in Google Play Store.
N.
Not sent from my xPERIA M.
Xperia M already have Active Clipper, it's bundled with the firmware...
Yes, you can find "other" apps from playstore.. I just shared some apps which were not in the playstore.. and there are better one too in the playstore, I admit.

Where? It is not included for my Single Sim one..
Xperia M dual comes with Active Clipper. I'm uploading the APK from my phone, but it may not work with Xperia M single SIM because of Android 4.1 while Xperia M dual is on 4.2...

This message was brought to you from my Sony Xperia M C1905 using Tapatalk.
Well, we got Android 4.3 in both Xperia M and Xperia M dual, but we also got some bugs in that update, and I want to build a list of these bugs so I can compile a list of possible fixes soon (some of them already have fixes). I have interest only in problem reproducible by all Xperia M/Xperia M dual owners, so, thing like "my battery now is draining faster", "system is slow after the update", will be ignored. So far, searching other threads in XDA and by personal experience with 4.3, I found the following bugs:
Calculator app was replaced by AOSP one, which is ugly since it doesn't fit with the new UI
Themes engine is broken. You can download themes but you can't install them
Cost Saving Options that were present in the stock SMS app from 4.1.2/4.2.2 firmware are gone in 4.3 update
[Xperia M dual only] Mobile data traffic arrows are misplaced, overlapping with the network signal bars (see attachment)
These aren't bugs, but things that may be enhanced:
Although the new camera app is compatible with Social Camera extensions, we don't have the option to search for more addons
Some menus in the settings app still uses the old black style instead of the new white style
Fixed Conversations.apk || StatusBar Network in/out
I am here with fixed cost savings option in Conversations.apk of Google_Android_4.3 for Xperia™ M Single Sim.
Dual Sim version will be up by tonight.
Dual Sim version uploaded.
Check attachment for download.
Also activated the option to send a blank message if needed.
I have changed the in/out arrow from white to blue so that they are visible in dual sim status-bar.
I don't have the 4.3 firmware flashed so can not test this.
Test and report if it works or not.
Guys please test and report if the mods work or not?
I hope I do not need to post the steps to perform in order to use these.

I dont get it, why are so many people butt-hurt about the calculator app being changed with the aosp one. Who uses the calculator on their phone anyways. If u do, why would you care what it looks like, functionality is what matters, or am i wrong?

Put the AOSP calculator (which is entirely black) in the new UI (where almost all menus are white) and you'll get something very ugly. I already deodexed the official Sony calculator from Z1c 4.3 FW, but I have to test it. I'll start working with these bugs after I finish the bug fixes I need to do to the root method...
List of bugs noticed on my xperia M running 4.3:
- The home and recent app buttons sometimes just dissapear
- Lag after waking up the phone from stand by/idle/locked screen
- The email app does not load emails everytime - tested on data service and wifi
The camera is a big improvement, the new interface for the contacts app too.

Well 4.3 in my opinion does not have better ui as white ui is nice but not so good
v4.2.2 was far much nice in looks of it
coloring of themes so rough
white line in notification when pull down
dialer also looks bad black and white color like its a black and white phone
also pin lock it was so smooth and nice in v4.2.2 only numbers but now it shows alphabets in it
with numbers

Guys I am back with another fix...
This fix corrects the data in out arrows in Dual 4.3 firmware.
It will also fix few Xperia themes errors.
Goto /system/vender/overlay/
Select and delete each and every apk there.
Restart your mobile and enjoy the fix.
Note: Deleting com.android.systemui-res.apk will do the job but I recommend to delete all the apps so that xperia themes work well.

Just push them to system/app and overwrite the original apk and set correct permissions as rw_-r__-r__

One hallmark of Sony design is rainbow design. As omnibalance design for the hardware is introduced, Sony brought rainbow flow design in software. As Sony recycle its design to Xperience flow design, rainbow flow design has been gone. This LWP is made for the fans of Classic Rainbow flow design. ENJOY IT.
Here it is the second release of Xperia Classic FLow LiveWallpaper,
- Dominate red color to pink
- Increased to 25 FPS (less laggy)
- Reduced to HDPI (better performance without loosing quality)
- Rebuild without Yosoft Software and License
- Removed application in the menu
- No more ad

It has been fixed dude, please enjoy
p.s Sorry for late reply dude, because it is really hard to update thread in xda developer lately. Dunno why but it often keeps stopping in the middle while I am updating things. And I have to type all over again and sometimes it fails again and again.

Needs a faster animation.
Yes,I'm download many version and install use it but it always not responding....
But finally I found one version of it that can be use in Sony Xperia XA1 ULTRA.(Maybe is the only one version that can be use)
And that is MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.3.6_manual_focus.apk or MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.3.6.apk
yes technically it is two version but hey the different is just can manual focus and not manual focus only
FYI:Sony XA1 ULTRA have camera2 api,no need to install rom.
But using this app is pretty useless,because sony doesn't support HDR+,slow motion,portrait mode,panorama,photo sphere,raw photo and etc.
Support feature is only lens blur.(Maybe got some feature that can be use but I miss it)Some situation using this feature is pretty good though.
And yes why I'm still love taking photo using this app is because oem camera app taking photo time was too long!!! :crying:
Taiwan forum got some buddy using this version at there Sony Xperia Z5.(So maybe is the only version that can be use in Sony mobile??)
Comment it and let me know about it.

You can try and install it.If you can use it Then congratulation for you because I can't use it
IV been around
Sony has a modified camera api 2 support. Unless someone makes a port that's universal you will never get the google camera to do slow motion. And yes i'v noticed it's slow when using hdr. Using a different camera app will not give you access to some features sony offers. I get it the camera is slow sometimes, but your giving up decent features for load time. I think maybe your thinking your taking a step foward but really a step back. Maybe multiples. If you truly want google cam, you need to drop stock and find a way to compile aosp. Which sony dev stop supplying access to kernel sources which means no more aosp for xa1 ultra. After this oreo update, I heard this could be its last update and declared eol. End of life
