Bigger icons?

I am used to an iphone, and bought this phone thinking that the screen app icons would be similar in size. But alas they are tiny and I can't see them too well! 

Is there a way to enlarge them? 

Also like others have said - I am a bit pee'd off that the back is plastic - Ive had the phone a day and its already scratched. I'm beginging to wish that I got another iphone instead!

Hey There !

I am planning to ROOT my phone.. I have tried the steps by geohot in XDA but  in vain.

I end up getting the PIE (position-independent executables) error. I have read that I am required to Unlock the boot loader to by pass the error.

And I have no intentions to unlock my phone's bootloader. Can you suggest me a better option pls ?

I have the 14.5.A0.242 build on my phone.

Thanks !


In that case you need you make your own pre-rooted firmware.

definitely the worst update I've ever experienced. I want my KitKat 4.4.4 version back! this update is wrong in so many ways, I don't know where to start. Completely messed up interface, unnecessary changes of design, the new apps that I won't use but I can't delete, new ugly way of showing my notifications and of course the cherry on top, big and ugly icons that make me feel like a complete.

Totally agree with the comments on the ugly and cheap looking large icons since upgrading to lollipop. I installed hola launcher

Ditch these big icons in lollipop.  They are vulgar. Actually the whole thing does not seem to take advantage of the display in a Z1 - even the notifications bar is larger - it's like setting a 1980x1080 screen on a laptop to 1600x900.

Embrace the diversity that is Android & customise the look of your phone to the way YOU want it to be......install a different Home Launcher & Icon Pack....:smileysmileywink:

I don't like Home Launcher, i like orginal menu, everything was fine till new update.

How about upper quick menu, can u customise him? It's looks like it's from 2005 models??

Sony, please make the icons smaller in the upcoming Android 5.1 update. Big icons are ugly.
