Right, so I'm attempting to port Xperia Sola skin to my Motorola Defy+. (Gingerbread to Gingerbread).
I've got some questions:
1. I've found out that .sin files must be extracted with Xperia ROM manager tool and with unyaffs.exe. The latter app cannot be used, and frankly I've had experience with such console apps.
Is there any other app out there that I'm missing?
Is the source released so that I won't bother with .sin/.img files?
2. I've noticed that some Xperia apps (I've got my hands on the music one) cannot be ported since they have some sort of protection (?) Am I being wrong?... If not, how can I "crack" it?
3. If there are other .apk files such as the topbar file - does it also have any protection?...
4. This source: http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...re/open-source-archive-for-build-6-0-b-3-184/
I've searched through it but didn't found out system/app folder. Maybe I'm searching somewhere where I shouldn't?...
Many thanks,
Alex.
or actually, even better, where can I find a CWM recovery image of a stock GB Sola?
bump?...

I´ve read many post of people looking for a solution for the video-recording HD after install some FXP mod ROMS. With no reason, sometimes it works for some people and sometimes don´t. After reading many post, it seems that if you update from a FXP before than FXP_46, you got camera working well, but for the people that come from FXP_47 and above, the video-camera freezes constantly.
I have found a post talking about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285977&page=17.
Well, you have to replace TWO files: "Camera.apk" from /system/app, and "libcameraservice.so" from /system/lib , after put the right permissions on these files: Owner:read and write, group:read, others: read. Do it with Rootexplorer app for example, look like this: http://compixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vending-Android-Root-Permissions.png . Reboot and voila, HD video recording perfect!!!!.
Where are the files? here: http://www.mediafire.com/?7v32a2j1nph3zvz .Thanks to "seaton" XDA-user for the update files.
Perfect Xperia Mini ST15i FXP_50 until...radio FM worked...

Good find. Wrong section.
I noticed that the audio recording is low, is this normal?

hey i tried copying it with root explorer but it stops me from doing it as its only readable file .so I tried with es explorer .. but the video is still the same no hd
And the sin converter how does it work I tried giving it commands to locate my .sin files but it stops working(I am using win7 32bt)
1.- Use rootexplorer, and MOUNT the files in read and Write mode, R/W!!!, not only read. Change the files and change permissions, reboot and check the camera.
2.- Search posts in xda, there are many about extracting "sin" files. Got no more info.
Trying to find a way to get the WidgetClock that runs with NoattachTrix, GingerMod roms and i think most blur based roms to work on CM7 or CM9 roms, I have looked for the apk files and this is all i can find
com.motorola.widgetapp.worldclock.tar.gz
com.motorola.widgetapp.worldclock.apk
com.gusya.android.dockclock-20120227-230831.tar.gz
com.gusya.android.dockclock-20120227-230831.properties
com.android.deskclock-20120227-230432.tar.gz
com.android.deskclock-20120227-230432.properties
com.android.deskclock-7b6e38e70c532142663ed413bdfce579.apk.gz
com.gusya.android.dockclock-7a7a35ecd86184b1c03a211a78c9c4a.apk.gz
com.gusya.android.dockclock.apk
anyone know the specific file or files i need to move over in order to get the desk dock to use the correct widget while docked.
The latest titanium backup for the .apk files are inside the .tar.gz files.
I would extract them, then add them one at a time (rename your originals on your phone to something else) and see which one is the correct one.
Now that's only if they are compatible with CM7/CM9. You might end up with FC's. If that happens, just delete your copy and rename the original again.

I will not upload the files for you to download (it's a copyright thing, eh?). However, the names of the two files I think you need are MediaPlayers.apk and MusicVisualizer.apk and with a little work, you can get the files by downloading and extracting them from one of Sony's ICS (Android 4.0.3) system update files (for example, signed-nbx03_001-ota-120410004.zip). You can find the URL for downloading the update file for your region using stifilz's lists posted HERE. Then use condi's AiO tool (URL for download posted HERE) to create a decrypted_update.zip file from the system update file (from the tool's Main Menu, select "3 * Custom ROM and Flashing [SUBMENU]", then select "1 Create decrypted update.zip [+optional make custom]", choosing not to make custom). Once you have created the decrypted_update.zip file, use WinRAR (or something similar) to extract MediaPlayers.apk and MusicVisualizer.apk. The files are located in the \vendor\app folder of the decrypted_update.zip file. Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility for the outcome of your actions regarding this matter.

Hi, does anyone know how to get the Xperia Active ST17i pressure sensor to work with custom roms?
I can see 2 ROMs where it is mentioned: here, that pressure sensor support was added to one of the MIUI ROMs, and here in the NextGen v8 ROM, but I'm not sure what was does to enable it. Can somebody tell me if it is straightforward to do for other ROMs? By that I mean is there a file I could flash via CWM/Fastboot that would let me add support to an existing custom ROM that doesn't have the sensor enabled? (I am currently running a ROM no longer supported by "kamarush".)
Thanks for any tips
I found an answer with the help of Ayush Singh, and a file that domy_xda posted here. I have attached it again here just in case.
You need to unzip the attached and place the file "sensors.default.so" in \system\lib\hw\ and then reboot (You'll need write access to the root using ES File Explorer or Root Manager. I made a back up of the existing sensors.default.so file first, and as soon as I copied the attached file, using ES File Explorer, the phone spontaneously rebooted.) I can confirm it is working with apps including SyPressure
Every single downloadable bootanimation seem to operate from a file called. 'bootanimation.zip'... However... On my xperia z5, boot animation operates from a file called 'bootanim.mp4'. If I rename or delete this mo4 file, there is no animation taking place. No matter what bootanimation.zip I install, it does not get called by the OS. The OS is looking king for the mp4 file. Can anyone help me to change this behavior, so that the bootanimation.zip gets executed instead.
My phone is rooted with xposed running and init.d is functioning as well.
Please guys, I can't find any reference to this anywhere on the net. Not it even on XDA.
Thanx in advance.

I know this is an old post, but I ran into the same issue/question and found this thread when searching for the answer. I was not able to find the answer anywhere on-line, but I did eventually manage to figure it out myself:
Your phone will have up to 2 additional files in the /system/media directory: default.playlist or custom.playlist (or both). For any newer Xperia model running the stock firmware that uses MP4 boot animations, you can get it to play the more traditional bootanimation.zip format instead by either renaming or deleting those files.
