Sony Xperia X series No Longer Support Small Apps

[MGSBigBoss]

Another hit on Sony.

So far the only gains you get with the X Performance is as follows..

- predictive hybrid autofocus
- 13 mp front camera
- Snapdragon 820

The z5 is as follows
- Glass premium design
- 4k video recording
- Small Apps for now
- Bigger screen within tolerable range for carry 5.2


Anyone else wanna add something in? I'm thinking of buying a cheaper z5 now and so this x series 1st Gen.

The 820 is more efficient, so you'll see similar uptimes. I don't like this trend, though, I want at least two days of battery life.

To be honest, I never use(d) them, and they're (after the bloatware) the first thing I remove as soon as I get touch to the system folder.

Also with the Multiwindow function (in-officially) introduced in MM they're even less needed, I can understand why Sony removed them.

I'm I don't see a multi window function on 6.0.1. Whether it's a future update feature or not. This current phone doesn't have it. So multi tasking is little more limited.

Yeah, but it's there.

Open build.prop and change
"ro.build.type=user" to
"ro.build.type=userdebug"

Then you can find it in the developer options

Do you need root to do that?

On Android N it will be available for all users, don't worry

Enabling multi window on Android 6.0 is really easy...
no root required, you just need to setup adb and run:

adb shell setprop persist.sys.debug.multi_window true

about the small apps i have to say that i never used them. I owned an xperia z1 and now a z3 and when i saw them i thought, wow nice i can use a calculator and other things when i need them, but at the end i really never used em >.<

I own a Z2 and I never used small apps. So for me, this is a positive move from Sony.

I'd like a Z5P if it features a S820. Unfortunately it doesn't.

I agree totally always been the first thing I deleted, so glad they've saved me the job now

not working without build.prop editing...and for edit we need root > for multi window we need root
