For those of you who still use 2.1 eclair, but try to add a better looking face:
- agile lock - free - on the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen&feature=search_result
- Xperia Active Launcher : working on stock, I am using it from 3 days already, no FC, taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187008 - post 30
Then, if you have cypress chip (but also Dx module for synaptics) - if you need dual touch module "ax8mt" by ANDyX, you may need this toolbox (by puppet13th) to install hassle free ( and also the other goodies: CWM, dual recovery, etc.) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
Reasons : If you use your device as a PHONE, as primary function, you might think twice on installing any ROM....but this does not mean it HAS to look ugly (especially teh lockscreen of 2.1.)...decision is yours.
Hope this is usefull,
Cheers,
I get FC when trying to use Active Launcher on 2.1update1..
"Sorry! The application Xperia Active (process com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. "

That one was version 20, I believe. Trust me, on my 2.1. works this version. Rooted, JIT enabled, ax8mt module installed with the x8toolbox by puppet13-th. Donno if JIT has anything to do with it, or maybe Busybox? Thing is, it works.

I'm rooted with Busybox installed.. Just checked and it's busybox V1.15.3, maybe old version??
I dont have JIT installed or ax8mt. Might try updating busybox and installing JIT.
It attempts to start and I see the 4 launcher corners appear but FC's straight away before I can attempt to use it.

If you read the original thread, there were some similar reports. And on other devices it worked. Not sure why ....sorry for the excitement, on mine it works.
BUSYBOX: on my device is 1.18.4.

No worries glad you have it working
This app seems to be V20 ??
Reboot didnt help. I might try installing new busybox.. Although a quick search I noticed someone lose xrecovery after updating busybox from market.. I'll search and read some more to make sure everything will be ok if I start messing with busybox..

no, wait, use the x8toolbox. It will help you install JIT and busybox both. And this way U skip the market step.

I tried the one from post 30 on that thread and the one off this thread. When I install the .APK with easy installer the file info says "Xperia Active 2.0.A.0.20" Maybe i've got the wrong idea?

thx i'll give that a try..
Right. Thing is the other apk's of the original thread cannot be installed on 2.1. since they are compiled for CM7 (2.3.x).
ok. Installed busybox 1.18.4 using x8toolbox and lost xrecovery. rebooted fone and flashed xrecovery back to fone. Installed JIT. quadrant score went to 512 (woo! )
I have Xrecovery back. Busybox 1.18.4 installed, JIT installed. then...
I Installed the Xperia Active and it still doesnt work.. FC again!..
ah well not to worry.. Glad you got it working on yours..

Oh, one other thing, no idea if it is important or not.
I use link2sd and I have a FAT 32 ext. partition. So, when I installed it, automatically was moved (link) there. Maybe this way I don't have the conflict you were mentioning?
Cheers, sorry for that...

well, that isn't a requirement actually.
the ROM works on Unlocked Bootloaders too..
What about the kernel? Does it work with CM7 kernel?
Is WiFi hotspots working?
I'm asking because I currently am using Achotjan's ROM, and my only complain on it is that hotspots doesn't work.
Hotspot works ... It's from stock.. I've had no problems with the stock and inteks kernel..

You will lose that part of settings where you can do OTA update, and check for new firmwares. If you think you will ever need that option, just back up that .apk, and install back whenever you'll need it

Are you using a custom rom or stock, If your using stock then you should reflash, if your using a custom rom, boot to cwm, delete cache, and dalvik cache, then fix permission and reboot. Boot may take a while but then try fb on wifi, if it still doesn work try a reflash of your custom rom, or try another custom rom.
Or try flash this via cwm, it will give you all my working facebook apps that you need for facebook

The facebook apps in the zip are from real ics v4.1 so try them. I dont use facebook but it seems to be working.
hmmmm...when it come to facebook apps, it is cause by the apps itself not your phone....install/uninstall/re-install won't fix it....same goes if you delete data/cache and etc....
a lot of user already complaint about bug on facebook but sadly the dev always ignore most of them...you can read all the review/complaint about facebook apps on the Google Play Store....

You need a newer version of cwm. Try mesa kernel if you have unlocked the bootloader. Then go for gold.
@Pusak Gaoq That maybe so but no all phones have this with ICS and FB, my girlfriend has a mini pro running mesa 1.4 and real ics 4.1, She installed facebook from the market and it works perfectly normal for her.

If you did something wrong in changing the framework (maybe in compilling, too) it will give you a bootloop, because it can't start the framework. You could have tried to do a fix permissions in cwm, then it could be that you are able to boot to the homescreen, but framework is missing (no statusbar etc) and you can replace it

Hi,
I didn't find any ROM on the net for your phone, but this may be a good news for you! I found a device with same SoC as your device which has MIUI ROM. Here
Here is a guide on how to port it! Try it, it may work. I think it will as porting between 2 same MTK SoC's is really easy!
Cheers!

Basically , i was running the standard rom that came with my phone , i changed to NOVA launcher , but the phones normal launcher was still running the background.....so i rooted the phone and froze the original launcher that came with the phone as it was draining the battery.........anyway , i found the phone was running a bit slow , i had installed various apps etc..........Sooooo i thought , just reset the phone .....so because i did not unfreeze the original launcher , when it came to resetting , the phone now has no launcher due to me freezing it !
It looks as if most of the rom is still there as it does load up , it checks for sim cards etc but then stops at that point , even the phone signals come up.
So do you think it is worth using CWM to still back up the rom and use for porting to MIUI Jiake V8 version ?
If so , what command in CWM do i use to make a rom for using in porting .
Thank you for your help.

Have you enabled USB debugging on your phone? You can simply install apps through ADB, so you can install a launcher through ADB and/or push it to system!

Do i simply backup user data for my rom to port to MIUI ? or is there a simple way using the ADB update ?
With the ADB for the launcher update , how would i do that and how would the system pick up on my choice of launcher ? would i need to edit some lines of code to point towards my choice ?
Thank you for your help.

Have you enabled USB debugging on your phone? You can simply install apps through ADB, so you can install a launcher through ADB and/or push it to system!

Thank you for this , i had not tried to do this , yes i can get into my settings on my phone.... i wiped all the cache etc in the rocovery mode , then rebooted the phone , i then side swiped down to get into my settings.....i set up my google account...but when i load google playstore it just seems to hang...with the loading screen....i can even launch the browser from settings via the Apps setting menu....everything is working...but still no launcher....
i'm still a bit stuck on how to side load something like Nova launcher , so i can get my phone fully funcational again
I had hoped that with been able to set up my google account etc , the google store would of worked , then i could of just downloaded a launcher !
But hey i think i am getting somewhere today with this phone
Oooooooooh wow , thank you for the side swipe idea.....i cleared the data for the googlestore via the app settings , re-ticked the agree to google terms and conditions , then downloaded nova launcher !!!! looks as if things are working a bit better again
Brilliant i have even rebooted the phone and it loads straight to NOVA launcher
Can i still unfreeze the old launcher do you think ?
I would still like to convert to MIUI though

Nice to hear, that you got your phone working again!
Well, I would now copy the nova launcher to system/app and give rw-r-r permissions to it, so you won'z get problems again!

Brilliant , so if i do that , even if i do a full reset will it use nova launcher as my main launcher ?
Which option in my recovery options do i use to make a rom , so i can port to MIUI ?
Thank you every so much

Yes, you can. Well, If you don't have an actual stock ROM then it's not that easy to port it. As you have to make a nandroid backup, then convert it into flashable ZIP. But you actually need to set the right mount points for your device in the updater-script. And I don't know how to find that out. So I would be statisfied with stock ROM! :angel:
