Hi, i was wondering if i could install a different os on my Xperia Ray like Ios or Windows. Just checking if there is a way to install them and is there any method available now to install, pls help me
Why would you do that?
I heard that there is guys who want to switch from windows mobile to Android and there was a way for some devices but to switch from android to different os... Just explain why. If you have problems with android, in xda you can get all the information you need.

Downloand Launcher 7 from Google Play, use Milocker and search for a lockscreen theme when you swipe the screen up to unlock, and tada! you have the same appearance and feeling of Windows 7/8.
I really don't see any benefits of that system, or something that Android isn't capable to do, unless you're a developer and want to test your apps built for different platforms, but trying to install a different system on a device that isn't meant to run it, it just won't be that easy.

Hi,
I recently installed a custom ROM in my phone.
What I noticed is that the problem is either that my phone drivers can't be installed for some reason (I have a SGS being treated as a Google Nexus S), or I just can't implement applications.
I mean that when I try to build an application on Eclipse, my phone is not recognized, like I don't have it plugged in.
Which one is it?
anyone?

What do you mean by "I just can't implement applications"?
Do you mean you cannot install apps from the market? If so, are you sure you installed a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S? Have you manually changed your screen DPI or is the ROM modified in any way regarding the screen DPI?

I didn't describe my problem, my bad.

I am pretty sure there is a simple answer and tons of people know if developing apps on custom roms is available. I dont get why none answers

Install the drivers for your device.
Comes up I had the drivers. I tried reinstalling them and it didn't work again.
I also tried it in another PC with no luck
Not sure if it matters but the custom ROM I have is Dark Knight 3.
Hi Guys,
I have Superuser app installed and working.
I am wondering if it is possible to pick a Lockscreen app apk from a Custom Rom and replace it in my phone (Copy+Paste).
Will it work as easily like eating a butter ?

It can work, but I think it wouldn't because of different frameworks. Just use a custom rom for your device that offers the style you like or simply try go locker or similar apps from playstore

Thanks for your time to reply.
Just curious, What do you mean by different frameworks ? Do you mean different versions like ICS, JB versions ?

No, the framework is for the "look" of your phone and some basic things. For example there's the sony framework and the stock android framework and that's for example the reason why you can't use some stock sony system apps (or the home.apk) on cyanogenmod
System apps cannot be installed by regular method, because they do not include any signatures (apk files are not signed), thereby Android refuses to install due to security reasons.

Sorry for the stupid question - it's been a while that I used my X10 Mini Android phone...
I am trying to revive my phone for my son and just installed newest stock ROM from Sony. Everything works as Sony - expected, however I do not find e.g. the App Kytephone in the store to install. I heard that this app pretty much close down the phone and makes any android phone a great kids phone.
Any help how I can install that app? Any stting or update to marketpalce needed Would updating to any custom ROM might make that App available to install ? Which one is most stable (as my son shouldn't use too many features anyway...)
THANK YOU!
It needs Android 2.2 or higher, and sony's latest update is 2.1, that's why you can't find it in the store, so upgrading to a custom froyo or gingerbread rom should do the trick

Awsome - thanks, will try. I know this is a non-checker question and it all depends on individual opinions... However, could you name any ROM that has its strength in stability and battery life?
I would go with MiniCM7, the last version to run on stock kernel was 2.0.7, which is quite stable.
Or you could try this, which should run on 2.1 too

The market will only show apps that are suitable for our phones. You get more choice if you run the latest custom rom (which is Jellybean), but the market will also take into account things like the screen resolution, and the architecture of the chip used.
Apps developed specifically for Armv7 or higher won't run on our phones, which have Armv6 architecture, and if an app requires a resolution higher than 240x320, then the market won't show those options either.
If you want to try an app that is unsopported, find a .apk for that app (use a general search for that app), copy it to your sd-card and install it from there. If the app checks it's own requirements (rather than let google-play decide if it's appropriate) it still won't install though. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but that is really rare.
Usually the only way to get an 'unsupported' app to run is to get a different device that fulfill it's requirements.
Hello everyone. I am new here, sorry if I have posted in a wrong place. I've searched for similar problems, but I haven't found anything. Probably I am just dumb, but...
The problem is, I have Xperia SP C5303 with Android 4.3, rooted and of course bootloader is unlocked. On Google Play there are many Xperia themes that need root to change things like buttons etc. I have rooted my phone, yet they just don't work. It didn't really bother me, until I saw Legend of Zelda theme, which i immediately fell in love with. It says it needs root to work. Ooookay, so I download it, aaaand... Guess what. It didn't work. Please, help a dummy in need. Thanks.
Edit: Also official themes from Sony Select work.And the themes I am talking about don't need themers, I mean things like theme launchers etc. They install just as official themes do.

From what I have seen, it's a bug with some Xperia devices running 4.3. Seems like you need to use your root access to convert the downloaded apk into a system app and reboot and then it should show up.

Sorry, you cant do that
Why not search for another ROM?
Most phone will have a jelly bean ROM. Try flashing one of those.
Hope this helps!
