    Thread Trying to remove the tint from the lockscreen wallpaper

    I found this old thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19032014&postcount=6 But I'm not sure how this would translate to the Z3. Is there anyone more knowledgeable than I am at this who can shed some light on this? It seems like the same issue and hopefully same solution.

    Post [APP][150+THEMES] - xSTANA - (NavBar / StatusBar) [ 01 JUN. - v2.5.0 ]

    So....I feel dumb. I didn't realize there were options on the left side, near the bottom to select a file explorer, I was just using the file picker it defaults to. Thanks for responding! It's working fine now.

    Post [APP][150+THEMES] - xSTANA - (NavBar / StatusBar) [ 01 JUN. - v2.5.0 ]

    Hello, Xperia Z3 on 5.0.2, just bought prime because the app works great, but every time I try selecting an image to personalize the navigation bar buttons, it says "unfortunately, xstana has stopped" and returns me to the main screen. Any idea why? If you need more info, let me know.

    Post [APP] Hi Locker - Enter your name, status, iOS, Lollipop & Classic style

    Really like the app, very nice design and the wallpaper effects are nice. I don't know if anybody figured it out already, but to keep your wallpapers from disappearing, you just have to press home to leave that screen. When you go back to the app and look at your wallpapers, they'll still be...

    Thread [Q] Can the navigation bar icons be customized on 5.0.2?

    Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to change the way the NavBar looks on 5.0.2. I was able to do it on 4.4.4 using Xperia/AOSP NavBar buttons module for Xposed, but it doesn't seem to work for the replacement icons anymore.

    Thread [Q] Good sound mod for D6616 running Lollipop?

    I was using the dual speakers on incoming call, and another sound mod for xLoud and some other effects. Once I updated to Lollipop, I flashed one meant for lollipop but it caused a ton of issues and constant reboots; I had to flashtool back to 4.4.4 and wipe everything. Has anybody tried any...

    Thread [Q] Any way to hide system app notifications on Lollipop (like Wifi calling)

    I'm trying to remove the Wi-Fi calling notification, but there's no longer an option to stop all notifications from the app info page, like there was in KK. Has anybody figured a way to get rid of the persistent notification?

    Maybe try the Xposed module that hides the root status? I haven't had any experience so I couldn't tell you if it works or not, but it's worth a shot.

    Post [MOD][XPOSED] Pop-up video in floating window from any application

    I had the overlay too, that's the only reason I installed the new Twitch. It wouldn't let me use the old app at all, with or without APUV. Might have been an update on the app that caused that to happen.

    Post How long have you had your z3 and is it still a good phone

    Had mine since 10/29, the T-Mobile release, and it is only getting better with root. Can't imagine owning any other phone, even with the release of GS6 and G4. Should note too that the phone is not rated against salt/sea water, so taking it in is always a risk.

    Post Download folder

    Without root, I don't think there's a way for 3rd Party Apps to access the SD card directly. You would have to root and install ES File Explorer, then use it to download the files instead of Chrome when it prompts you.

    Post [Q] Why does it have little development and few roms?

    Found a solution! At least for me, hope it helps others as well.

    Post [Q] Stuttering audio with bluetooth

    Honestly it doesn't matter to me, I've found many ways around it. I either deal with the slight stuttering having it in my pocket, or put it in my jacket front pocket (which solves the issue), or just set it down somewhere. I love the phone too much to have it traded in for anything that small.

    Post [Q] TMobile Z3 vs Sony Z3

    I think you mean to say "inconspicuous" :P. Anyways I agree, looking at it, it's also a much lighter shade of gray/white than the Xperia or Sony logo, so it actually blends in quite well. There's also no T-Mobile branding on the front, which is really nice.

    So I never use the magnetic port, and I don't really plan to. I am wondering if there is some sort of cover for the port that will make it flush with the rest of the left side of the phone. I haven't found anything searching, but figured I would ask.

    Post Z3 Tmobile: Is it supposed to be stereo front facing speakers?

    Is that happening for both notifications/ringtones as well as music? It's designed to only use the bottom speaker for notifications, but if you're listening to an MP3 and it's still only using the bottom, then there's an issue.

    Post Xperia Z3 Sleep of death / Won't respond to anything

    I think the last step is all that's required. Holding the volume up button & power button for a few seconds (5? 10?) will cause it to vibrate 3 times and reset. It gets you out of pretty much anywhere; learned that from messing with my Z1C's bootloader.
