Thanks guys it worked!!
Face unlock is in the settings -> security part, but i dont really recommend it, its beter to use a pattern or something, when you are in dark places its doesn't work, besides i think its easier using a pattern.

I don't like the pattern on ICS. It worked quite bad, was a bit hard to get all the correct points, don't know what was the problem. I went over to PIN.
Ya i know i just wanted the feature for fun and just to play around with it...not seriously...
I use this Russian ICS Custom ROM. It is the best for now. Download link

Oh yes XD
And anyway to mess up camera colours ??
And any app which HOGS all the ram ?
under clock it using setcpu,should work with stock kernel I think.
Try Fast reboot pro for rebooting,no sure if it works good on Xperia's or not tho
btw out of curiosity I'm asking this,why you need to do this?
Well i dont want to give my phoe to my elder brother he wants my Arc S and wants to dump the Neo V back on to me :/
I want to make the Arc S really lag so that he thinks he is better of with the Neo V
I dont want to part with it
Im running CM7 on the phone now
So any ways and means to
1)Make apps FC
2)Mess up the camera colour
3)Make the phone randomly reboot/shutdown
4)Mess witht he screen
Thanks for all your help
Will changing app permission cause them to FC ?
EDIT: And no this is no fraud
Im from India and all phones here are box unlocked
Thats what i posted in Arc forums
Any ideas guys ?
EDIT
Can someone link me to a SONY bootanimation ?
Flash a different phone kernel lol

Oh lol,just delete lib files of few system apps,should make 'em fc.
To mess up camera color change camera drivers to drivers from another phone like Neo or V,like in Neo V with Neo camera drivers(in earlier cm9 editions camera was red with Neo drivers on Neo V) camera goes full red and fc later.
To randomly reboot use the app I posted earlier,it can schedule reboots I think,or just install ton of useless background apps and play some games like Asphalt 6,it will automatically reboot
Also delete systemui,apk and say bye bye to notifications & status bar.
Or you know just say to his face that this is your phone and you want it like a BOSS
I flashed nEo Camerai Fix phone wouldnt reboot XP
I underclock to 125Min 512maX oNDEMAND
Deleted bluetooth and set colour to sepia in camera XD
EDIT: Installed Launcher pro
Set scrolling speed to minimum
I love XDA <3
I love it... download I soul craft tegra version... let do install.. chains 3D .. set to nvidia.. texture low...16 bit...change to night mode..oh crap look what's happened.. fc fc. Or just can't start.... lol

1-When u set pattern or PIN lock then sometimes slide to unlock appears automatically before that (some users)
2- whenever u restart ur phone then disabled apps automatically gets enabled(some users)
3- if u set only 3g or 2g network then after reboot dual mode gets selected automatically
4- camera still lags :-/
5-battery drains faster dan b4
6-led for sms not fixed
7-FB Music like giving time out error
First I thought its happening only with me but after searching I found that these problems are actually BUGS and almost every1 who updated to new firmware are facing this problems(problems can vary with users).
so IMO dont update ur phone with this update it sux.
thanks
Thanks for the info.
I was about to update but i'll wait for a better update that fixes all the bugs

1. Tested that, It still works like the previous updates. And based on your 'sentence' that doesn't happen to me.
2. Tested that, disabled apps from performance assistant/freezed apps from titanium still are disabled after many reboots so I'm not sure what you are whining about.
4. Doesn't lag for me, if not smoother it's the same as before.
6. Confirmed already it doesn't work.

'Disabling' apps from settings? You mean stopping the apps from the settings? You're not supposed to do that on Android. Yes stock 587 rooted.

4- Camera LAGS !!!!!!!!!!!!! omg its 2x better than 4.1.b.0.431
5-it drains fast , but not faster than before .. install juicedefender and it will drain slowly
6-install from play store an application called smsawake , it makes your led notification work when you receive sms
7-its the application problem , look at all the reviews for FB application at the play store .. they all rate it 1 stars , 2 stars

Yes, i agree with you, Sony take 3 ICS update and the main important problem SMS LED still not fix. I can't belive that, what they're doing. SONY even not as good as SONY ERICSSON. We can see SE with GB rom is smooth and no bugs, but what we have after Sony with ICS rom.
is the thumbnail corruption bug fixed? (setting camera to 5mp corrupts thumbnails on pc and in quickpic)

It doesn't work for Whatsapp for esample ^^ And I think that this is a very stupid problem, and Sony could fix that, why do they waste money for a bugged ROM? I can understand the first ICS, but this 587..
Sms LED notification, is working for me, it always has.... lol. Im not facing any of the above problems, phone is so smooth dialer etc even when i set cpu on 806mhz.
Guys is there no face detection in stock camera app in ICS?
I know if i don't havr them,some sony services won't work,like music info.So i need to know when I lost them?I mean I just need to know is it when i am unlocking bootloader,or rooting phone?Or both?
when u unlocked.
Why do you need to know that? You can't get them back.
The sony site warned you about this

One simple question- did u unlock the bootloader? Now there are 2 possible answer of this question...... One if u did so, u have lost the drm key forever and apps like trackid won't work, and if u did not, u still have the drm key and thus that xperia J Walkman mod malfunctioning u were talking about maybe is the result of improper porting....

Hello everyone.
I discovered that sony ericsson lww loses the prefered network mode after restart (ICS .587). Unfortunately the same thing impacts on developer options, when it also loses all the settings, except of GPU accelleration. Is that a bug or it can be fixed someway?
I read somewhere that this is something present in all .587 firmwares. Don't know whether it's a bug or [SARCASM] a Sony feature! [/SARCASM]

Nice!Thanks sony for making our lives easier :silly:
But honestly...I can live with it
I've searched to no avail... i've tried what some people claimed to hav worked for them(removing sd card and rebooting phone until front camera options shows up) but it only provided a temporary solution... the moment i turn off my phone it goes away again and it is not easy to get it to come back... can anybody help me with a permanent fix to this issue???
i'm using xperia neo v... ICS build 4.1.B.0.587 stock rom by sony... previously GB 2.3.4...

Return back to GB is a good point ! GB is smoother for Gaming and Multitasking unlike laggy ICS ! Or you can use any custom rom !
I'd recommend JS and Revo ICS
testsIs and
Go to your camera app--> tap the scene recognition icon--> select front camera. That should work. I'm using Neo V and I can operate front camera in this way.

i considered that but i have read from other people suffering the same problem as me that though they flashed GB back into their phones the problem never went away... as for custom rom, i do not want to root my phone or unlock the bootloader...

Same here. Frontcam gone after using ics for a while. And we are not alone after a quick search on google.
Nothing much to do i think, not for me anyway as i have unlocked BL and rooted, and flashed.
Do not think my 2 year guarantee from the seller works anymore

But it's a rarity so can't blame even the manufacturer after the warranty
After all,the company doesn't have "Six sigma or totally defect proof phones "
Try and ask at the service center if warranty exists
