[Q] Lockscreen music controls that work with default player (RAY)? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I recently got a Xperia Ray, and a feature I seriously miss from my Cyanogenmodded X10 mini are the music controls in the lockscreen. Could there be some way to add them without using third party apps, even better if they are integrated in the lockscreen like in Cyanogen?
Also, I wonder if there is some way to let Sony know about features we want on new updates.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like that's the Cyanogen ROM. This doesn't answer my question.

[Q] Stock SE SMS/Dialer/Contact for CM7 ?

Hi !
Everything is in the title
I'm looking for SE stock apps to use them as replacement for SMS/dialer/contact, because I don't like the ones built in CM6/7. So, is there anyone who have managed to use them with CM7 ?
Thanks you in advance
BTW : The stock 4 corners launcher would be nice too
(Or maybe we should wait for the next x10 mini/pro and get the new rom to butcher it and port it to our phone :/)
I am looking for it too please
T9
Can't help you on the stock progs, but, take a look at Go SMS Pro and TouchPal Dialer. I found them way better than both CM and stock dialers/sms

Indeed, Touchpad dialer is fine, even if the fonts are very small :-/
Go Sms seems good too, not totally at my taste, because again of the fonts' size, but it would do the job

Well.. small screen - small fonts
Have you figured what to do with with the in-call screen? When I use in-call dialpad (to browse throught voice menus) the bottom rows (7890) are hidden ...
I use external keyboard for that..
Any ideas?
Thanks
Not a clue :-S, sorry

About that, we know now why SE did choose the four corners ui xD ... To gain some place for things like a dialer :-S

[Q][ROM DEVELOPMENT] How do you want my first custom rom for Xperia S will look like?

Dear Xperia S users,
I really love the Xnew Sony Xperia S since I tested it in my local Smartphone shop so I ordered my unit this week and I will receive it Tuesday or Wednesday probably
Some of you might already know me or my work on the Xperia 2011 devices, but some of you probably don't know me at all so here is a short introduction:
I am a 20year old student that started developing for some Xperia 2011 devices on XDA. I started development recently, only a month ago, when the official ICS beta came out
Since then I developed a custom rom named KA Ice Cream Sony (KA = KrabAppel, and I really loved the sound of Ice Cream Sony) I also chose this name because my rom is based on the Sony theme
Those who want to check out what I already made for the 2011 Xperia devices here are the threads:
Xperia Neo & Neo V: Xperia Neo KA ICS thread
Xperia Arc & Arc S: Xperia Arc KA ICS thread
Xperia Ray: Xperia Ray KA ICS thread
Xperia Play: Xperia Play KA ICS thread
Now I'll finally get to the point Since I'm receiving my Xperia s next week, I'm also going to start development for the SXS, but the question is:
How do you want my rom to be themed, which add-ons would you like to have and so on
Some examples:
- ICS themed, status bar widgets, reboot option in power menu and on screen button enabler
- Based on Sony ICS beta theme, framework mods like AOSP lockscreen etc, auto-rotating home
- ...
This information would really be useful, so i can prepare my rom as much as possible to the general needs of the Xperia S users
The Xperia S isn't a cheap phone, so if anyone feels free to donate a little bit amount I can increase my resources for the rom (and maybe kernel) development of Xperia S. Don't donate because I post this, only if you really want to support me
Thank you for you're support and trust in all the devs
hello,
AOSP lockscreen: will lost the notification lockscreen???
can you make "volume button" enable wake up screen???
thanks
-ICS and Sony ICS lockscreen.
-Notifications for emails, messages, lost calls, etc.
-Change track via long pressing volume button.
-ICS or Sony ICS theme.
-Power widgets on status bar
-Brightness slider on status bar
-Weather on status bar (just like AOKP)
Well, I can remember just this right now. If I think on something else, I will tell.

I don't know about the AOSP lockscreen and notifications, the framework of Xperia S is pretty different so I'll have to do some testing with it first before I can fully start developing without a lot of mistakes

Ok, I'll try to do as many as possible I like Sony ICS theme, so I could do that probably
how about the recovery option and i like the ics option
Make it fast,smooth,stable and with a better battery life would be really awesome
I'd like stock android, with no addons what so ever

I am not sure how far it's possible to do so, but i would appreciate a MIUI port for our Xperia S
The work you've done on the Arc looks great, I didn't need to look at the others! That sort of development for our great phone will be much appreciated and I will very much look forward to your work!

Gamer OS -stripped as much as possible and graphically optimalise,
tweak tweak for gaming ??
more free ram
battery life improved
improved hardware accelation !!
Possibly 2.0ghz overclocking
"something like wolf-rom(x10) you like particular tweak, app,wigdet you download a package-not much preinstalled"
Improved music output, automatic album art download, burst mode in camera, track switching with volume keys, option to select number of home screens...
Thank you.
Change the volume rocker, so it will both have a vibrate and no-vibrate state at the bottom. This is default in htc roms, and for example cyanogenmod has an option for this in the settings.

I believe this doesn't work in stock player at all if you unlock bootloader, because DRM keys are lost.

Thanks for the replies
I am a little confused... Your stock version have a mixture of Sony ICS and vanilla ICS theme? If I'm right, you should do small add ons with each part of the themed things (like one for SystemUI, other for MMS, other for lockscreen, for example). Got it?

Xperia T9 Keyboard For CyanogenMod

Hello Devs
I guess most of us are tired of using the qwerty keyboard on CyanogenMod with our Xperia Mini's and Mini Pro's.
I was just hoping if any dev could port the STOCK Sony T9 KEYBOARD from our Mini's to CyanogenMod ( CM7 or CM9).
Thanks.
Mod please move the thread if unappropriate.......

Stock keyboard from stock ROM already includes T9 and QWERTY both, and I think it should work fine without porting.
I have used keyboards from other ROMs for long time, haven't experienced problems.

It works for CM7, but what about CM9.......
I tried using the one from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535971 but none of the two seemed to work........
Its in the second post, by the name of
2) Black Sony Default Keyboard ENGLISH ONLY OR INTERNATIONAL
(International includes English)
Any solution......????????
Man , CM9.0 for Xperia Mini is the best ROM based on ICS yet , but the keyboard is killing me . I've looked up several posts that have update .zip files for a stock keyboard , but non of them are Alphanumeric Phonepad keyboards , just QWERTY keyboards . If someone could post a link to an update file for CWM with Stock Alphanumeric Phonepad layot keyboard for CM9.0 it would be great !
Anyone? I'm still looking for a T9 keyboard for an Xperia Ray running CM9.
Would this work? I don't want to break anything on my girlfriend's phone...
Thanks

No idea, sorry I only tried it on an Xperia Ray.
I personally think that every android phone rom should have the T9 keyboard as an option, as is less error prone than the qwerty, if you want to message quickly T9 can do it for you (if your dictionary has been accostumed to your personal vocabulary) and that be done geniusly with the physical keyboard, just my two cents.
Can anyone tell me if the stock T9 keyboard works well on CM7? Will it be a T9 keyboard on CM10?
I tried to flash the xperia S keyboard for fxp149 cm10, It work perfectly with wouch, but the hardqware keyboard on sk17i still the default, even after i delete the AOSP keyboard. IS there a workaround to have T9 input with qwerty, like on the official roms?
I succeeded in using Sony Stock Xperia Mini Pro keyboard on CM9, using the Xperia S package as a guideline on which files to pick (on sk17i there are some more dependencies than on Xperia S, but the basic files are just the same), but only for the soft keyboard and T9...it still doesn't enable typing suggestions when using the hardware keyboard.
Maybe the typing suggestions for hardware keyboard are bundled inside some framework jar?
I really miss them too
Hi
I'm kind of a newbie here ... I was just wondering how do I install the zip file once i ve downloaded it?
I neet to connect my xperiau on the pc and then drag the zip file into the root and then do the volume up button to activate the zip file using flash??
i've got a cnm 10 btw
Hello, would it work on CM11?
Try using Touchpal X keyboard as it has a T9 mode and also supports suggestions while using the hardware keyboard.
Sent from my SK17i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
CM9 & 10 on sk17i vs. other ROM
Now tried both CM9 & 10 on my SK17i and though it's a quite enjoyable experience, I could never get any of the aforementioned keyboard solutions to work. Also, with both CM9 & 10, regardless of performance settings, heavier apps like Skype (and even Dots [a game which isn't that heavy] and Whatsapp) wouldn't work properly, neither with the keyboard or in general when left running in the background -Skype would drop calls all the time and give stuttering audio. And audio in general is incomparable to the stock ROM.
In the end I switched to this ROM ReVolutioN which unfortunately is discontinued in this form (but as I understand keeps going in another ) which works so much better for my XMP and comes with stock t9 keyboards already installed, superb audio quality and LOADS more free ram, giving a way-way-waaay faster and smoother experience than CM9 or 10 (again, on SK17i) -although neither is even close to as customizable as any CM version, at least not in the same way and the menus aren't quite as pleasurable to navigate.
But there are so many other ROMs out there and you hardly just need the one I chose, or any of the other I tried. There's a whole bunch of them that have either stock xperia mdpi keyboards or xperia s already installed, so I suggest to try that (as you also get back T9 in portrait mode, as well as Sym-key, GLOBE-key and Blue-dot-key functionality plus word suggestions for hardware keyboard).
Still... After months of trying, albeit not every day, I finally opted for another ROM and now, after about another month, I feel I should share this info with any and all who experienced the same as I and the others who posted in this thread.
Thanks for your time, hope you found this helpful.

[Q] ICS on mini pro: lockscreen notification absent

I'm sorry if I'm asking something yet answered but I haven't find anything about it. My rooted mini pro with ics stock rom doesn't show notification on lockscreen like lost call or sms unread as on gingerbread. I'm not talking about the standard notification bar which works properly, I'm talking about the informations that appear in the main screen when lockscreen is active. Do I have to change something in the settings, it's some firmware bug or simply a removed feature? Thank you for helping me out.

Sony for some reason did not include this on stock ics for the 2011 range in the .431 fw. I'm not too sure about the new .587 fw but that is why you have no notifications on the lockscreen.
Check out the xperia s lockscreen mod in themes and apps, that has what you are looking for.
Cheers,

Replacing CM7 lockscreens?

hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS
Google play store link to widget locker
