home.apk - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey I have a non-rooted xperia s and was wondering if there was anyway to change the home apk to a custom home apk (eg. Like the 3 screen one for arc) and how would I do. Phones not rooted so I can't set permissions and copy over with root explorer.

I'm afraid you can't without rooting your phone

You can download other home from market.
Like:
Go Launcher
Launcher Pro
...
When you press the home button it will pop up what is the program you want to use.
You can not fully replace the Sony one but it should be about the same to use it like this.
If you do this remember to remove all widgets from the old home to save some space/memory.

You don't need root to take it out. ASTRO and root view or what's its called, if u enable that you can see files that you els not can see (root files).

you need a file browser or a apk installer.
use "root explorer" or "andexplorer"
or use "installer"
good luck

As far as I know ADW Launcher, doesn't change the factory theme. In fact I have it installed and I can not change the theme.

You need the frameworks-res.apk for your firmware version. If the phone doen't turn on, you will need to do a repair (Using SEUS [Sony Ericsson Service Update]), you will loose all your data but you will recover your phone.

Is there any way to connect the mobile to the computer while the mobile is switched off? Because it says I have to go to the settings to do blahblah on my mobile then it will get connected...
Yesterday contacted Vodafone they said I have to go to their shop they are not sure if they can repair it or not, do you think it's an impossible thing to repair?

Yes, you need to:
1) Install SEUS
2) Connect your phone to the PC
3) press and Hold "BACK key" until green light turns on.
4) Follow the steps to repair.
Trying to delete applications I completely kill my phone and I could bring it back with that procedure.
Any launcher application won't change the theme (color and icons). For android 1.6 you change manually the color, takes little time. First root your phone, then get (use pull command) the framework-res.apk from System/framework folder. open the apk file with 7-zip or winrar and drag the all folder named like drawable*** to a temporary directory. Now change the view to thumbnails to see which folders are having images (.png). Go to those directory and pick desired file to edit. If you have good image editing software you do whatever color you need. I use .net paint because it's free and good enough for me. Once you are satisfied with the colors you just made again open the apk with 7 zip and open the particular directories to drag and drop your changes files. Done with colors.
Now use pull command for the system/app/ folder ...you get all the apk. In each of these apk you will find the drawable kind of a folder find the icon that comes on phone. Use your icon/downloaded icon, (do change the icon into 48x48) and darg and drop in the proper place of the apk. I used ireflect icons(google it).
By the way don't unzip and zip the apk file, that won't work.
Now push all the files in there respective folder and type reboot.
Now you will find there are still some apk is missing in the app folder, that is basically stored in data/app folder. But if you try to pull the whole folder nothing will come. use "ls" to view all the files and then use pull command by name. you will get it. Change the icon, install the apk just change the signing. To change the sign you need to delete META-INF folder then sign it.
You don't have to push-pull in this case just install the modified apk (before that u should uninstall the app).

Q How to copy keyboard?

Hello do anyone know if it's possible to copy keyboard from one rom to other rom? To add a language.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk
yes its possible. but need to know which apk is the keyboard, also the lib associated with it.
I'm trying to find out about moving the keyboard as well. How to move the lib and the apk to system\app? I don't have root explorer..
what keyboard do u want to extract from the rom?
Hmm i didn't extract the keyboard myself. I got the DioChinese IME from a forum.
I just installed coderomv2x, but it does not have the chinese keyboard, so I downloaded it but not sure how to move it without rootexplorer..
well then, if just wanna remove stock keyboard from rom, just use titanium backup. uninstall/freeze it will do.
also if that diochinese keyboard u got is flashable zip file, u can just flash it via recovery.
Sorry but I'm new to this, so I don't really understand what u meant by flashable zip file. I have the apk and and .so files (which are the library files rite? :S) Is there a way to move these files to the system/app folder? How else do I install the keyboard? Thnx!
copy the apk to /system/app and the libs to /system/lib then give proper permission. permission for both the apk and libs should be rw-r--r--. then just reboot ur phone. u need to rooted ur phone and using any filemanager with root capability like root explorer to do this.
Thanks, i found Super Manager from the market and used it to move the files. How do i enable permissions? By using the superuser app?
dont know about super manager because never use it, but if using root explorer is long click on the file>Permissions. and it should look like this
Hmm icic my files appear as rwxr-x, and i can't seem to find a way to change the permissions...but i went back to the apk file and tried to install. It installed and the keyboard now works, but i think the handwriting mode got prob.
when u enter any filesystem folder using root explorer, on the upper right corner theres a button that showed "mount r/w", click it until it shows "mount r/o". only then will u be able to change the content of filesystem folder.

Do you know? Please tell then.
Keyboard apks normaly are top of the list and end in ime for instance AxT9ime.apk and if you deodex you can take libs from the apk its self hope that helps.

[Apps] Do you have/want this app

I thought I would start a thread to post some of the more requested apps and also a place where someone can go and ask for an app that they think they might need. An app dumping ground so to say.
If you have an app that you want or need, post the request here. Have an app that you think would be good for someone, post it here. If you are in a thread and someone asks for an app, send them here first.
Only thing is NO PAID APPs in here. It is against the rules. I'll put in a few of the more popularly requested ones first and hopefully this thread will be a one-stop-shop for what you might need.
To start I have uploaded the following:
Universal Androot - Will root your 2.1 so you can gain root and install root function apps
Open Recovery (root) - You'll need this to flash ROMs if you are coming from 2.1/sbf. You'll need Mioze's XT720 recovery to use it's tweaks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242259
Batter Calibrator (root) - Guess
SuperCharger (root) - Used to install and run SuperCharger scripts
All 3 Chainfire3d (root)plug-ins. Was a real search the first time I looked for these. So now they are here in one place.
Have fun and good luck. If you need something, just ask and someone will either post it here or the link to where it can be found.

[Q] Youtube stops playing if screen off

Hi!
I jzt wanted to know if someone could help me with one feature that these new firmwares have. Once I turn off the screen, youtube stops playing. I really liked before that I could turn the screen off and still listen youtube in the earlier versions. I dunno if the playback gets cut off because of the new firmware or if it's a new feature in newer youtube apps, but's I'd really like to be able to listen youtube while the screen is off. Any tips? Thnx!
First off yourll have to say if your rooted or not or on a custom ROM or not.To me it sounds like your on a stock unrooted Firmware.Im rooted on Omega ROM with a youtube App that has a download feature.I can watch videaos of any lenght and the screen doesnt turn off.Also if I turn the screen off myself I can still listen to the video thats playing.
I'm on darkyrom LA4 base. Also tried resurrection rom with ICS a while back with the same result. Might hafta try something else then...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The youtube app in Omega rom is great. It is how a youtube app should be.
sent from my fingers to your face.
I believe its down to how the YouTube app is developed; No playback in background or when screen is off.
Tomorrow morning when Im not on my phone Ill upload the youtube apk from my rom.Youll need to pass it to the System/app folder with root explorer but Ill put up the instructions.Like i said at the moment Im on my phone so cant upload.
I know I said Id do it tomrrow but I cant sleep thinking about this bloody Youtube apk. so Ill do it now.Ill write a rundown just incase your not sure what to do.Coming from another ROM it probably wont install as an apk. so if it wont then do this and it will install for sure.Do it twice to make sure though
NEED:Root explorer set to RW
first backup your exsisting apk. just incase.
1.Open root explorer and select System then app and go to YouTube
2.Hold finger down on apk. untill you get a menu and select "copy"
3.Now navegate to InternalSD/data and select "paste". and your done.
Now pass the new YouTube apk. to internalSD/download
1.open root explorer go to int.SD/download and hold finger down on apk.
2.from the menu that appears select "copy"
3.Now navegate to System/app and select "paste"
4.You will be prompted to overwrite exsisting apk. so select yes and your done.
Do the second proccess twice to make sure its copied and you should now see it in the app draw.The reason both apks. go to different folders is because if you put one inside a folder where another already exsists it will overwrite so you could loose your backup or the new one.Im going to bed
Amazing, thank you so much! That apk is gonna follow me wherever I go. xD
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Keep a copy on your PC too and pass it to all your ROMs so you have a good YouTube app on your phone at all times.

The YouTube apk. I put in the download folder in the internalSD so when I open root explorer I select sdcard/download and there it is.Basically you put it where you can find it(not on the externalSD) but I find this folder for me a good one to remember.Sometimes you need to do it twice in a row for it to work.If it doesnt then boot to recovery and fix permissions and wipe cache partition and see if that works.Also try androidkids way that he posted as it worked for him but Ive always done it as Ive posted.Also make sure that the YouTube app is the blue on that its meant to be.
EDIT:are you getting the message to overwrite exsisting app when you paste the new one?
Does anyone have a version of this for the latest version for youtube?
is there an updated version of this youtube which allows the screen to be off while still playing?

There is no need to rename the launcher.apk. After another launcher is installed you will be given the choice of which launcher you want to set as default, you can change back to stock launcher by clearing the defaults of the custom launcher. Better to not change system files if you dont have to. After you move the new launcher to system/app folder change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Alright,
1st, device spoofer will cause BOOTLOOPS!!!! so don't buy!
(I learned this the hard way)
so this isn't really a mod but if you boot-looped your device by messing with build.prop than here is a quick fix:
1.Make sure you have adb set up nice for your fire by following the amazon developers @ https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/getting-started.html AND that you have the orignal build.prop file
Make sure you read the entire page verbatim, especially if your a mac user, because all the answers are either on the page or in the links
2.You either will need to have temp root or have already been rooted.
3. Make sure the device is actually reaching adb, check this by waiting until the sparkly kindle fire logo comes up, and then doing adb devices
4. Down to Business: Turn on the fire and wait until you reach sparkly kindle fire logo.
5.Navigate to platform-tools folder and place your original build.prop file there
6.type
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
reboot
7. If you already kept a backup of the original build.prop file on the device, than change the mv line to
Code:
mv /system/build.prop.bak /system/build.prop
-->and there ya go, post if you have problems

Hi,
Will this replace this awful carousel thing ? And therefore, redirect the home button ?
Sorry, i'm not a native english speaker, i don't understand the "Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it".
Does it mean that i copy the new launcher's apk file to /system/app/ ? And do i have to install the new launcher ?

Download a launcher from the play store
With a file manager move the apk from /data/app/ folder (It will be named differently than you are used to, usually has the company or developers name instead) to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
No need to change permissions as they are the same coming from /data/app/ folder

Are there any alternates to the soft button bar like a stock jb one or something? Or can we not do that because of the odex? I know it's systemui.apk I tried installing a cm9 systemui.apk on my kf2 and system/app rwrr but on reboot all I got was black screen. I backed it up and restored it with adb so I know what i'm doing... for the most part. Sorry for an y random spaces or periods... swype doesn't like furious tapping on the kf2. Needless to say, I have swype as default keyboard and launcher pro as launcher.
Well, I tried the same wpthing with a similar result. My best guess is that it works off of framework res so...until there are custom ROMs we have to wait. But, I've been toying with an idea: if the favorite button on the saftbar was rewritten to display recent apps, e.g. that it always displays 8 apps from data list x, and data list x is a list constantly updated saying the most recent app. Then the app could be themed minorly to have the window over window PNG and voila: a little bit better stock ROM. My problem is that I'm not a coder of any kind, so its a slow process.

Are there any alternates to the soft button bar like a stock jb one or something? Or can we not do that because of the odex? I know it's systemui.apk I tried installing a cm9 systemui.apk on my kf2 and system/app rwrr but on reboot all I got was black screen. I backed it up and restored it with adb so I know what i'm doing... for the most part. Sorry for an y random spaces or periods... swype doesn't like furious tapping on the kf2. Needless to say, I have swype as default keyboard and launcher pro as launcher.

I could try to edit it for you. I don't have a Kindle Fire HD, so you'll have to upload me the framework-res.apk and test it for me. Make sure you backup before you test it though.

Has anyone figured out or tried to replace or disable stock search and get Google search to work. I've tried a few things with no luck. I would also like Google now.
For Google search, it's really tedious.
For it to work you have to rename the stock search to iforgothenameofit.apk.bak
Than you have to grab the Google search app from jelly bean gapps via goo.I'm, and push it to the system/app folder with permissions rw-r--r--
Than you have to push all the framework files, permission files, basically any other non-apk file to the folder of which it belongs.(you can get this from the whole zip file that you got from goo.I'm
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY FILE YOU PUT IN THE SYSTEM DIRECTORY HAD PERMISSION RW-R--R--
*This can actually be done with a root explorer fairly easily
