Sony’s latest flagship, the Xperia Z2 has already been launched and users have been waiting for it to hit the shelves. Though the device is not out yet, our devs have been able to pull the full system dump from the Z2. As a result, the goodies from the smartphone are gradually making their way to all.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we shared the beautiful live wallpaper, system dump and stock wallpapers from the Xperia Z2. As you know, Sony devices have always been known for their exquisite multimedia experience. And that’s why, every non-Xperia Android user wants to have them on his/her device. In the past, we have shared the Xperia apps and widget ports for different Android devices several times.
After the system dump leak from this new device, we were all waiting for someone to port the Xperia Z2 Walkman, Album, Movies, home launcher and other apps. Well, the wait is finally over as XDA member Jishnu Sur™, who is also a contributor at DroidViews, has ported the all new Xperia Z2 apps for all Android devices running CM based ROM. Since it is the first release of the port, you should expect a few bugs and FCs here and there. We have reported the bugs to Jishnu and he has promised that they will all be fixed in the upcoming releases.
His port is available as a flashable zip and contains the following apps and widgets:
- Xperia Home
- Easy Home
- Walkman
- Movies
- Album
- Notes
- Sketch
- Xperia Keyboard
- Smart Connect
- Xperia Lounge
- Social Life News
- Tools Widgets
- Walkman Widget
- Weather Widget
- Sony Xperia Z2 Live wallpaper

How to Install:

- Reboot device into CWM or TWRP recovery.
- Backup your current ROM.
- Flash the zip package.

you can search for walkman apk and install it manually aswell as the album apk 🙂 i know its been 5 months since ur comment
tried it on my s4 active i9295, keeps on crashing 🙁
Tried it on Xperia P with CM 11 4.4.4. Walkman FC when opened in Now
playing mode (full mode). Picture gallery worked okay. But the worst
part, I lost the baseband configuration. No Mobile network with this
package. Had wiped the dalvik cache after install as well. Anyway
reverted to a previous backup I had. Here’s a sample screenshot where
baseband is shown as “Unknown” with this install on an Xperia P LT22i.
Good effort though 🙂
Flashing this package gave me only two apps, socialife news and sketch. help me in getting launcher and other apps……thnx in advance…
