experts on android help - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i have my x10 with a custom rom,and installed timescape from the arc dump;everything's working good thanks to a tutorial on how to install it. My question is that when i had the stock timescape and published something on Facebook trough it;it said published trough sonyericsson xperia. Now with this new timescape it says published trough semc beta or something. My question is where do i have to edit to have the same as before;i mean published trough SonyEricsson and the SE logo like in the eclair stock rom. In the build prop? Or in the Meta inf of the apk? If so which apk should i edit. Timescape or Facebook. Plugin? Thanks for your time

u will need to modify the timescape apk...

i've tries that yesterday but i could not find the line to be moddified,maybe istalling 2.1 timescape???? just like the arc but with the eclair apk and settings.
Can some one pull the files please?

Browser settings
open browser, settings, select user agent. that is the only way I know, but they are pre selected phone id's but from what I've heard, when you manually change device id, it could lead to trouble. asthetics are something for the future, I'd be happy with a working timescape

If you had enough time you could decompile the app and find the string that says beta and simply replace it. Ive had a bit of app coding experience and it seems pretty simple. Like i said though decompiling such a big app and finding where the string is used and how many times can be a lot of work.
If you get me a link i can have a look but no promises

Hi There,
I'm searching after the Original SE Kamera!
Anybody an app for this or a APK File?
I hate all the other "apps" like Vignette or 360 Ultimate.
In Vignette i have no Shuttersound and other little things (too slow)
360 is not my favour.
Please help

Sorry for my bad english.
My Rom is [ROM] xCyanogenPro - Floyo - v3.6
And the Camapp in this Rom is.....mhhhh terrible

No Shutter sound
Settings will not be saved! Every time i restart i must change all! settings first (5MP, Superfine etc...)
All the non Original Apps have the same mistake.
I can't save the files ind the standart DCIM folder ;(
Now i search after the original Cam App because this is...smal....fast...make good pics....PERFECT

mhhh i could install it without that...
I downloaded the file directly with my X10 and "open"...
Is that the problem, why the album and camera always make an error?
mhhh
thats not normal
your installer normal say that you couldn`t install it
try to install it like my first post
Ok i would try it...but i could realy install it
Mhhhh i open the Opera and my X10 makes a reboot....i think the rom is not realy bugfree
must i install the apk directly from the system/app folder?
I think that this app won't work with this rom without some modifications on that because this app was designed for SE framework and installing it on this rom may cause FC.
In the version 3.4, owain94 make a kind of adaptation on this app to work on that rom but it isn't working 100% good, with some random crashes.
I think this app is realy not functional...i installed it agaim with copy in the system/app folder but the same...
The album is very slow and not functional...
Mhhhh i deinstall it and search again
Sent from my X10minipro
i think so
anyone an Idea?
No ONE?
i can't make films with the standart app from CM3.6...
To use the stock camera app you will also need some files from the se framework.
Turn on usb debugging on the phone
Download adb for your pc
Attach phone
Open a cmd on pc
Goto adb folder
Type
Adb logcat > camera.log
Start camera app from se
Try a few things with it
Post camera.log here
I'll see if we can get it to work

Both sources help

I haven't tested it myself since i'm using the new build. I would think the Home.apk, ThemeManager.apk and DefaultThemes.apk.

Well not all the applications are in Market for example the updated Home Launcher, New Timescale UI, Data Monitor Widget etc.
The update has same kernel and android version so installing all these apps/replacing other default apps will "update" my already rooted 2.3.3 right? Will try this weekend.
Thanks for posting the apks!
photo widget is missing from my widget list.. guess PhotoWidget.apk is not compatible with the old fw
Cant install the weather widget and the theme manager,,why?
Sent from my Sonyericsson Xperia Arc
Try to move them all to /system then change permission. Then move them one by one to /system/app. Others will have to be replaced. See if that works. Will try myself this coming weekend.
Edit: When I said all, I mean all apks including framework. Framework. jar should also be in its right folder. You'll know it is right because it will ask you to replace the file. Framework.apk is important for home, themes, xloud, widgets to work. Reboot after you've done that.
So if I want xLoud, I'll lose my current theme?
Yes because it is activated in settings menu which is in new framework apk. Just mod it again after you are done.
Are there other .apk I need to use xLoud or just the framework-res.apk?

Yeah, I've also tried this... DO NOT replace your framework-res.apk from 3.0.1.A.0.145 with the newer 4.0.A.2.368 version. Your phone will get stuck in a reset loop and unless you have an unlocked bootloader, its a huge pain to get root again.
I ended up just using the 4.0 firmware though because I love the new weather widget so much
with 4.0 firmware the phone is running faster w/o root compared to 2.3.3 with all bloatware frozen with tbp.

[Themes] DefaultThemesCustomizer for SONY ICS

​
DefaultThemesCustomizer by Adrian DC : http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/ics_defaultthemescustomizer.html
The application will allow you to set your own wallpaper on each default color schemes of the SONY ICS ROM,
just by simple choices and a single Wallpaper.png to change !
The script handles the images creation and building, there's nothing to worry about.
Provided apks are from the official 4.0.4, but you can replace them by 4.0.3 apks if you want to use the application with this version of ICS.
Now even works for SONY GB 2.3.4 !
Also provided by default is my own Bokeh-6-4 Wallpaper, which I do use in most of my previews.
Bye !
----------
If you like my work, don't forget to press the :good: Thanks button ! Thanks you ^^
He he he, why dont you wait posting until ready?
I know, but since I spent the last 4 + 4 hours working on it,
and that I finalised the whole pack a few minutes ago,
I needed the thread link to add a shortcut to it in the pack.
Just a few big minutes, don't worry
But if you want to test it, contact me by PM ^^
Looking forward to it!
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
That's it, you can test it !
I'm waiting for feedbacks, as you all know,
there's always something that can be weird on Windows..
But it should be good, works fine on the two PCs I could test it on,
and with some users who tested it for me before release.
'night everyone !
But I want to use it with Gingerbread 2.3.4
Can not?
Send me both apks by PM, I'll make sure you can. Bye!

When I open and select color, then there on i get an error VCOMP100.dll missing.
in-spite of errors i am able to follow the steps with error after each step.
Finally when I open the created theme, no changes are made.
I have no idea whether error is because of my operating system or because of program error.

That's weird..
Because I tested it on the little Dell with XP SP3 of my father
yesterday night at 3am xD, and it went perfectly well..
I've added the dll you miss, version 2 online, let me know !
EDIT : Working on a new version 3 compatible with SONY GB 2.3.4..
That's it, done ! Should work on both ICS and GB 2.3.4 !
(Does work on my ICS 4.0.4, please confirm GB).
I can only change one theme of the defaultthemes.apk...???
not all 7 of them...
It would be awsome if I could change all seven themes....
:good::good:
Then it already is awesome xD !
At the end, you can choose to customize an other color or exit the software.
Bye !
(News, sorry for double posting..)
A whole new version is online, based on my current development of HomeCustomizer which might be released soon.
Much for efficient, more secure and with an automatic creation of flashable zip in addition to the AndroidFilesInstaller files.
Bye !

Guys, do I need a rooted device in order to use this tool? Does it work on Xperia Arc also?

Hi !
My DefaultThemesCustomizer application doesn't require root since the new version 7.
Indeed, since I now also build a flashable zip to install the files,
in addition to my original AndroidFilesInstaller files,
you now get a Flashable zip to Install the apk and an other one to restore
the original files you just modded !
But if like me you prefer to use my AndroidFilesInstaller, then yes, you need root.
The application should work with every ICS phone from the Xperia 2011 serie,
but so far, I can only assure the Arc S and the Arc are working fine with it,
Ray, Neo/Neo V and others are still to be confirmed.
Bye !
ADC
No problem.
Nonono don't rename the zip, they are build as they have to be ^^
Flashable zip are to be installed from the CWM Recovery.
And now that I think of it... You should need root to install CWM on the ROM...
Or if you did unlock your bootloader, which would seam unprobable here,
you could use the normal CWM without root...
Anyways, root is so much better than normal.. The choice is yours
EDIT : You should try installing the apks without AndroidFilesInstaller, just by installing them normally.
Since they are system apps, I'm not sure you'll be able to install them that way, but who knows?
If you look closer to the modded files, you'll see that you get :
- FlashableZip[ThemesCustomized] > Flashable zip to install new Themes
- FlashableZip[ThemesOriginal] > Flashable zip with original Themes
- system~app[DefaultThemes] > Files to install with my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh
This last one contains the very apk that you just modded,
so try to install them manually..
If it doesn't work, think about rooting.. It's much better afterward ^^.
vassil_bk said:
Thank you! Unfortunately this was the first thing I tried and it didn't work. It gave me: "Application not installed." and only the "OK" button.
Thank you again for your help! It is getting obvious that I should consider rooting the device if I want to change these things...
Still I don't understand why Sony don't give this opportunity through the settings menu but lock some predefined (mostly a lot ugly) themes instead...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, root might be the solution to many problems ;D
Ahah yeah, if the phone brands did give us full design control and choices,
things would be much more easy for users..
Hmm i dont know if im doing something wrong here... but
Okay so I get to the part where it ask to choose the following defaults colors, It opens a window with the folders so I choose that wallpaper and try to assign it to number 1, click enter and it just loops. Opens another window with the samething...confused here.
I feel like im doing this part wrong.
Will check that asap, I'll let you know.
Envoyé depuis mon Xperia Arc S.
EDIT : I tried it, it's working just fine..
By assigning, what do you exactly mean...?
The only thing you have to do is to change the wallpaper
if you want to, but it has to keep the same name,
so as the mask png which also is needed and can be changed.
Then just choose the color by the number and press enter.
If you try to rename the pngs, which isn't said to be done anywhere,
the securities I've put in the script will make the request loop
until you fix the errors and have propre pngs in place.
Hope it helped.
Bye!

(Q) Can this be applied

Hello everyone, i want a different lockscreen. I am using a launcher app from experiment.zip from i dont know anymore x( . And its 1 apk which divide in three apps if i use the launcher it crashes my phone and reboots xP. But i am able to use other 2 apps but they dont work 100% and i can only use the theme/lockscreen which only trigger the new lockscreen. And not the theme and icons. And i want to replace default with one off them (still need translation). Because everytime u reboot it use ur default framework-res apk one if correct and take maybe a few minutes or few screen off/on which triggers it but a few times after eachother which in case interrupt ur action xP. So is it possible to 7zip it in framework-res or in the defined app for it. Or does it need to be decompiled/recompiled which is tricky if correct aswell. Any help would and will be apreciated. Didnt know if i can post names of apk used. Let me know if its no problem i edit then a bit xP.

if its a zip i think you should flash it
I noticed that it is depending on my roms what frameworks work.... i have a stockbased rom, so i thought frameworks of stockbased roms should be working, unfortunately they werent all, and that can also be caused by systsmUI. Thats for what.my experimental phase lasted till now, i didnt come to edit packages (test phase :/)
there is a thread about building a rom where you can find a link to mods and there is one to tell you how to edit the apks witjout danger....

No to bad it isnt a zip file which i can flash. Its a weird extention. (.mtz)it can be opened with IZArc tool or renamed to zip experimented a bit already. It contains all images and manifest file with directions language etc. And a file named plain lockscreen. Which is also can be renamed to .zip. And i extracted them which have images and xml file aswell. I was just looking in the manifest. It uses smali code in de main app for the lockscreen. which i installed and reboots my phone on launch everytime. Is it possible to integrate those pieces of smali in framework or the systemui to be my receiver.It works anyway but i know maybe those 2 different locksreen receiver can be in the same app/framework orsomething. And i saw in both framework-res apk and the app which i use for those lockscreens uses almost 70% the same public id's in public.xml in decompiled folders. I hope someone can help me a bit further.

i would recommend you to ask the person that did this mod... i know those lockscreen pictures from apps like magic, miui locker (something like lockscreen launchers)....
If you extract it, is there system, meta inf and so on? like in a flashable zip? then you could extract it with 7zip and compress it to a normal zip to flash...
i really dont know more abput this....
so ask a dev if its that important to you

No they dont have meta-inf file and manifest. Its a Chinese home launcher app which have 2 apps which reside in the launchers apk. (Because i cant find the apk in system/app or data/app or the mnt/sec and /obb etc). And the launcher have a lockscreen reciever (smali) built inside which works to intercept my default lockscreen mechanism. With the new one just like on picture xP. And i gues i cant retrieve owner of apk i just snatched it from a miu rom.
