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

That's how I use my own rom without add-ons
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!

I'm not into MIUI development but I'm sure someone else will make an MIUI rom for Xperia S

Thanks I will receive my Xperia S tomorrow or Wednesday
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.

+1 to your idea

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?

After updating my mini Pro, my physical keyboard stopped working.
Went and checked the "Written Languages" for the Default Xperia Keyboard.
2 were selected - English and Hinglish(Indian Language Hindi mixture of English).
It was the second language Hinglish causing the problem.
Deselected Hinglish (now only English selected) and my physical keyboard is working fine now.
You could check similar issue in yours, maybe
I downloaded and installed keyboard from this thread . Its from galaxy note 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964814
That keyboard is with gesture typing ( sth like swype) . I cant make gesture working on my sony tablet s. Any ideas how to have it fully worked? Conventional input is good but sometimes keyboard closes/hiddens. I also tried to install stock keyboard from xperia arc s 4.0.3 but it fc.
No issues getting the swype gestures to work here on my Xperiat Tablet S. Works well, but not as visually appealing as the default keyboard.
Add gesture typing works after I changed keyboard language from auto/system to eg. English usa. Could you confirm that in your device ?
This keyboard has issues to fix. When I want to type word letter by letter keyboard closes/minimalises and to continue l must click on write area once or twice to having keyboard. After typing one or two letters keyboard dissapears . This repeats again and again.
Maybe jelly bean keyboard extracted from similar device should work better (xoom).
Any suggestions/improvements/attachments ?
I remember using the proper port and it worked fully until a few seconds and then it really played up, really nice though.

It is so ugly to SONY's
In case of xperia tablet jelly bean update. Could someone upload new xperia keyboard with file libjni_latinime.so ( located in system/lib ) or with similar name from this location. Let see if this will work on sony tablet s ( 1gen).Maybe this will fix self minimalises keyboard problems . Please give a world do you have gesture typing or swype option after xperia jelly bean update.
Default keybored hasd no up and down arrow keys I find this a little frustarting

Hi,
I just bought the Sony Style Cover flip case, and it doesn't seem to lock/unlock the phone.
Is this right? Do I need to enable something?
Thanks.

After buying my device, I noticed that the Walkman (Current Music) did not have a widget with trackbar, so I saved the apk from my old device widget (Xperia T2 Ultra Dual), but I could not install, someone could port this apk ?
It looks like the widgets of the attached photos.
I took this apk on Xperia T2 Ultra Dual with Kitkat.
Thanks
Try to sign the apk
