In Android 4.4 Sony has introduced the "What's New" Button.
It is on the same arc as the Google now button when swiping up from the home button.
What annoys me is that now the now button is off to the right with the what's new button occupying the left side of the half circle.
If any one knows a way to disable the What's New button and have the google now back in the center, please tell me.

Maybe this app can fix this: Home Button Launcher?
It's on the play store. The forum won't allow me to paste the URL, sorry.
I do not have a xperia z2 to test it.
No, it does' work. I mean, the app works but it replaces the Google Now with this app. So when you swipe from the bottom you have on the left "What's New" and on the right what ever you set up with this app.
Is there any news about deactivate this WHITHOUT root?

TB requires rooting. However, since we have root even for LB (look in Original Development forum) this shouldn't be such a big problem anymore.
If you are against rooting at all, you're out of luck as far as I know currently. Sorry.
I've tried to remove on a rooted 402 rom using both ES file explorer and titanium backup without success, they both say uninstall failed.

Just root your phone and use titanium backup to freeze it. worked forme.
If you root your device you can delete what ever you want from system/app and priv-app folder.
Of course, watch what are you doing, don't delete system files (Google advance debloating for that)
You can delete Google now as well, what's new and many other things.
Your device will be faster and boot tume will be significantly improved..

that's what it looks like for me now too. Is there any way to throw something else in there in place of what's new or google? Kind of a handly way to have a shortcut, but I see no way to customize it, unless I'm missing something.

get it done without root
I just got my Z2 two days ago and I ran into the same problem : What's New app sucks.
So here is the solution without root
1) run adb (I assume you have a working adb)
2) adb shell
3) pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance
4) reboot
5) Done!
And Please "Thanks" me if this works for you.

Hey everyone, hopefully this isn't a total noob question, but after the ICS OTA upgrade, I have no phone (Dialer) application.
That bar that runs across the bottom was totally blank besides the "All apps" button and I have no dialer icon on the home screen. When i go into all apps, I do not have a (Dialer) application listed. I know the phone application is still on the phone somewhere because I can call people directly from my contacts, but i have no way to dial a number manually from what i can tell. If I go to settings > Apps > All, I can see the dialer there, but I have no way to create a shortcut to the dialer that I can use.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
It should be called "Phone" in the app tray. Is that missing too? What happens if you hit the search button and enter Phone, the icon should show up and you can drag it to the desktop or tray from there.

Long press on it, it should let you move it to the screen.
I am having the same issue as well. It is nowhere to be found in the app tray and the only way to access it is through the people app. I did have it a shortcut before installing the OTA on my lockscreen and that one still works so it is still functioning, I just can't find it!

Ya, unless someone finds a solution I'll be factory resetting my phone. I hope that means I don't have to download the OTA again, but whatever. For now I just downloaded a phone dialer from the Play Store. There are a bunch of them for free. I downloaded exDialer for now since it has no crazy permissions.

Pre-ota no dialer in the app drawer

I am pretty sure it was in mine before but regardless it is impossible to make a shortcut to it now. I have desktop visualizer and can't find it in either of the options on there, and if I long press to add widget/shortcut through Sense, it isn't there either.

You also appear to be missing the button for Verizon Wireless apps at the bottom.
Same Problem
New Guy here having the same problem.
Phone app is not present in the All Apps section and unable to get it onto the launcher bar at the bottom of the homescreen,
Like mentioned above, I can access the app via Settings/Apps/All but unable to get it from there.
The App icon is on my lock screen but it's a pain to have to lock out your phone just to make a call.
I also placed the People app on the launcher as a workaround.
Hopefully someone or HTC/Verizon can get a fix or this.
Long press on your screen... select 'shortcuts'...... then select 'activities'.... then scroll down to 'phone'... then select 'phone'. That should do it for you.
Doh!

I long press on the screen, hit shortcuts, and get a list of shortcuts (no activities option there) and no phone option. I have put a shortcut to the dialer on my phone before, I know where it should be and it is not there. Like I said above I also can't find it using third party options like desktop visualizer. It is gone.
Sorry, I'm doing this from memory since I'm not on the official OTA.... Its someplace in there. How about 'activities' and then 'apps'? There may be a shortcut to phone in there.
Ok so it did show up in desktop visualizer under apps and not "other" so I can make a shortcut to it on my screen but I won't be able to put it into the dashboard. It does not show up in anything from HTC aside from searching for it, using the people app, or going into manage apps.
Hey guys,
I recently had to switch from my SGS2 (much loved, but ultimately un-useable) to the Sony Xperia S.
This is my first Sony Android phone, and my third Android phone. I like to think that I am pretty well versed with the goings-on of the Android OS... but as can be expected - there is a little adjusting required when switching to a new device.
I am going to make a list of feature which I had grown pretty fond of during my time with the SGS2 - which I cannot seem to find in the Xperia S (I will also add general issues which hopefully you guys might have some solutions for). Hopefully you guys reading this will be able to advise and suggest solutions to these listed ailments, also feel free to add your own queries to this thread and I'll add them to the list.
1. No quick setting in notification bar pull-down (only link to system settings screen)
Solution 1 - Use 3rd party app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hb.settings&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmhiLnNldHRpbmdzIl0.
2. No USB mass storage mode.
3. No task killer.
4. No outgoing call confirmation (option for pop-up dialoge box to confirm outgoing call)
5. Weather widget does not support current location (GPS).
I will update and edit this list as the post is replied to - and when we find more issues.
Please note: some of the missing features I'm listing might have been from 3rd party apps which I had installed on my SGS2 rather than feature of my SGS2... if this is the case - please let me know.
I look forward to everyones input and feedback.
Cheers.
Switch too this rom, and you have all your missed things.

Use custom ROM it will fix everything.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I am a little hesitant to start bootloader unlocking/rooting/flashing and such.
There is so much info to take in regarding the process, I'm worried I might miss something or get the wrong information. There are plenty of tutorials - but its almost as if there are too many. One tutorial will be teaching something, and it will say "Before we begin... make sure you have read this [LINK]", and it all seems a bit much.
I guess you could say that I dont have the stomach for custom ROM flashing, I'm just overwhelmed with all the technical info.
Can you guys suggest a simpler tutorial or break-down the process to reduce the steepness of the learning curve?
Thanks for any help.
first i think also... but it isnt so hard
just go on step by step, read just for next step and do the things in the step and then go to the next step... then it isnt so much information and you don't forget something
and after you unlock the bootloader and flash the first Rom/kernel with working root, you know what the process was good for
1. For quick settings use app from market
2. There is no mass storage mode
3. Hold the home icon for task killer
4. No, but why do you need that?

Task killer isn't the best thing. You only need it when you're really out of memory. Just swiping away is enough.
Quick settings is or an app or a mod that does the same thing from power controls on GS2.

You can have toggles in notifications. You only need to unlock bootloader and use a custom kernel to flash SystemUI.apk from xperia GX through CWM.
To unlock your bootloader follow these instructions:

then flash the advanced custom kernel, which is the simplest one, using these:

Obviously not that simpel or you wouldn`t have to post these questions:
1. Search with root explorer or similar app for that file
2. Official JB will roll out within 3-4 weeks i guess, maybe earlier leaks on sammobile
3. Zipalign, see http://developer.android.com/tools/help/zipalign.html
Use the search button, all your questions could have been googled and anwered under 2 minutes mate, but off course it is much more convenient for you to let others search for your answers

If you are in TW launcher go to settings, applications, press menu button (left below next to home) and select app preferences and restore original settings. That should make your hidden apps visible again.

What exactly have you tried? I can't REcompile 4.2 apks yet, but if tablet UI really was removed in 4.2, couldn't the navbar layout file in SysUI be tweaked instead?
The layout file for the navbar doesn't specify a layout gravity or padding. So, wouldn't it be possible to apply those two layout properties to the parent's framelayout to push the keys left?
I would definitely try this, but the N10 I have now is being returned when my 32GB N10 comes in next week...

Yes, but he is suggesting that ppl use LMT launcher (essentially soft key replacement if used right) and then use the toggle to hide the stock keys.
Anyone heard if button savior is going to be updated for 4.2? The menu button doesn't work so it's pretty much unusable.

another, perhaps more drastic, option is use ROMs that are bringing back the old tabletUI (like Paranoid Android).

Do this first before use the TOGGLE.
In settings you have to choose your device, it works with (NEXUS 7).

I don't have to root or anything for this, right? Sideloading these apps will just work on a stock Nexus 10?
If you don't have to root the N10 is this something I could do if I'm based in the uk? Dont see LTM on the play store

FULL SCREEN TOGGLE only works after you reboot, so set it, then reboot... but make sure you have LMT setup and auto-start, or else you'll have no home button!!!
Not sure what crack everyone's smokin, but LMT doesnt move your softkeys. Else I have no idea how to use it, cuz it doesnt work for me.

Yeah, me too. Don't know how it should work.
Yes, it would be great if the navigation buttons could be moved around.
Personally I would like them on the right hand side - of whatever way up I am using.
It is really annoying with the thing sitting comfortably in my lap to have to lift it up to clear my sweater or shirt every time I want to to go back, or to access another app.

First you have to set your Keys on LMT its not just Open it and its done. Pie = something like a key ,its works like when u use the AOSP browser with full screen, that you have buttons at the side and you get like half a circle with options and you move your finger to it. Or you can just set gestures to go back, home or open apps, depends on taste.
- But no, it doesnt move your soft keys to the left, it gives you something better imho, more accesible.
- shadow thanks never tried to rebooot it worked well...

So do you finally need to root your device for this combination of LMT and toggle fullscreen?
Is anyone able to confirm, that it is working without root...?
I can't get gestures to work, but pie does. Any suggestions?
Edit: Pie is going to be much better anyway, but still a bit dumbfounded as to why it works on my N4 but not N10.

How has no one answered this simple question yet?
Sorry if I sound unappreciative. I appreciate the info but a lot of us who aren't rooted would like to know .
Both apps request root access on my devices, so I would imagine it is required.

yes you need root
I haven't tried many, except the pesky software update notification from T-Mobile (com.wssyncmldm) but I remember disabling a bunch on the note 7. What have you got disabled that hasn't caused issues yet?

On my Sprint S8+, so far I have only disabled Bixby related. I prefer Google as it is a bit more mature and refined. Also, looking at the knox related stuff to disable.
Coming from Verizon to Sprint, so not sure what all the Sprint bloatware is and what it does.
I am using the Samsung Package Disabler Pro. What are you using?
Anyone know what the Android 7.0 easter egg process is?

Total of 127 Packages Disabled! Here is my list of Disabled Apps... if disabling the Launcher and Internet make sure to have others like I do... I use Nova Launcher Prime for Laucnher and Samsung Internet Beta for my Browser and disabled the stock internet

Not such a funny joke, actually he is doing a good job, if he wanted to be stuck in one ecosystem he would buy an iphone, samsung is always putting so much bloatware, unwanted apps into their devices. If someone does not use a certain app, why wouldn't he just disable it? I can't imagine using a samsung phone without hardly debloating it first
With all due respect, Inform yourself first than write nonsense
