Did anyone notice some apps missing in the ICS upgrade? Like the music unlimited app, media remote and perhaps most importantly, the powersaver app? I thought that was strange - the powersave app was quite popular from what I seen and I don't know why it was removed - the extended battery mode says it only turns off wifi and data traffic, nothing else and is not configurable. Some of these apps are not available in the Sony section of the Google Play store. What does everyone think?
I didn't see many changes to the music app, just a few visual changes and of course the nice visualiser. It's a little easier to scroll though the artists etc. and I like that.
The video app makes it easier to navigate videos no? Don't have to use file explorers etc.
The last thing I wanted to talk about was SI codes. Did anyone see one for the UK or world? I have not seen one in any of the compilations or comments and I'd like to use it to update via PCC.

You edited that first post,sorry.
As per apps,I never had those apps in GB except Power Saver,and I didn't use it,so I am not missing any of those.

No, problem, done! :victory:
I guess we'll just have to wait for news on the Sony about the change of apps, any further comments they have on ICS (I see a Jellybean section now) and for codes of course.

I agree with you about music app.
Album and Movies apps are way better than GB ones,it has become very easier to navigate and more effective.
are there any new widgets or something cool that xperia s hasnt got?
Not that I know of. In fact, the media apps that are included are slightly different to the ones mentioned and displayed on the official Sony mobile site. They look mostly like the normal Sony 2012 apps - not the hot ones from here:

Dear all,
I just had this very idea, wanted to share with you:
1a) Put together SE legacy stuff, that some of us might miss:
- Backup & restore
- Timescape
1b) Bring stuff from new devices, like ARC, for instance:
- Arc launcher
- Any fancy apps you recommend
2) Publish it via xRecovery as an add-on.
We could centralize all efforts here, on this thread. What do you think? Please post the threads, if you have already efforts or results on part of these (I'm just looking into how to crack licensing for the backup ), I will also try to enlist those.
Cheers, arch
PS: this is not an SE blame/hate thread, so please no posts on how much you dislike this or that...
Alpha2 for CM6, download from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/452882711/se_legacy_alpha2.zip
(alpha1: http://rapidshare.com/files/452780369/se_legacy_alpha1.zip)
Install via xRecovery as a custom zip.
Note: build.prop was edited that manufacturer is 'Sony Ericsson' again.
Features:
- Timescape and backup&restore (thanks to myth999)
status here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051
Known issues: backup and restore works fine, for timescape font is too small (not much of a use now)
- Arc launcher (thanks to phoneyericsson and manjeet15)
threads here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979675 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973153
Known issues: Tray bar is not visible, blocks are too large, drawer window is vertically somewhat small.
Notes: Also tried the one from fifarunnerr for the Wildfire but it is still buggy also with drawer button alignment.
- Sony Ericsson Sync (by me)
Sony Ericsson account can be used from sync accounts. Also sync is provided as an extra app. Theoretically other SyncML accounts could be also used.
Known issues: Font is black with a black background by account settings. By adding a new SE SyncML only first/last name is editable, no phone numbers (maybe a number from the call could be saved, don't know).
Anyway we can restore our old contacts from sbf backups or from Sony, this is cool anyway (saved my butt aswell). With the new contacts app also vcf export is there, so after an export it could be directly fed to Google contacts, cool aswell.
- Voice search
Works flawlessly.
- Track ID
Known issues: Locked, do not work currently.
Biggest thanks goes to Lef.teris for providing the ARC rom.
Works good otherwise, got one FC from timespace during the whole day. I've seen no degradation of original CM rom.
Testers are welcome.
Cheers, arch
I dunno what's done, but maybe this help ?
Sorry if this is old news ;D

This is exactly the point! Could you pass a link on the last version?
(I've seen 2 of them: one has the drawer misaligned, and the other's drawer window is vertically somewhat undersized.)
Cheers, arch
Maybe I'm totally misaligned: too much SE stuff needs to be taken over for some these, don't know. The arc launcher is at least quite standalone.
Just tell me

Sorry, what I meant is that the point is to centralize these efforts in one thread if possible, here in DEV and also package them together. That way we don't have to manage N threads and check what is the latest, is there an effort to do this or that.
Cheers, arch
hey arch,
i have managed to crack ''SE backup and restore license'' and it loads now on CM6 mini pro...
but ofcrs its nt fully functional so need to work on it and also sm help
i also got ''timescape'' from xperia arc fully running on any froyo device even non SE devices
however for ldpi devices the text is too small to read so need help there too
u can find the thread under x10 mini themes and apps section titled ''timescape apk edit''
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051
Alpha1 uploaded. Thanks to myth for his hard work!
Cheers, arch
Alpha2 is up, if anyone is interested...
why dont you attach the files to the post(click on "edit" button then scroll down until you see a brown bar sayng "additional options"... and them select "manage attachments").... it is easyer to download
archflex when i bring an update i will include the right build.prop for this alpha so you wont need that build.prop anymore and that way it will work on cm6 and cm7 this way only on cm6
will mail you when i've done it (;
thanx owain
having a build.prop with manufacturer Sony Ericsson would really help newbies
there is one funny thing here...
some htc desire users reported timescape + ts widget working fine
apart from that even backup and restore was working for them
if some one here could test sms and contacts backup/restore on a non SE phone then it cld be a boon I guess
Thanks a lot guys!
The resolution the Desire is quite close the Arc (54 pixels difference only ), so at least they could read the Timespace UI
I'm really shocked by the Arc APKs, how SE independent they are, good stuff. Open source, freely distributable, wow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11677993&postcount=8
Thanks again, arch
But the real problem is starting now.
The new retail arc firmware has locked apps, or apps that cross verify signatures via shareduserids...
trackid is locked too
Though am working on track id at this very moment and hope to over come the lock lol
SE gonna sue me haha
TRACK ID
first goto build.prop
see this line
ro.product.device = U20i
it should be U20i after "=" and capital U20i is not same as u20i
I could get it to work on my 2.1 stock rom
but it doesnt work on CM6, it doesnt seem to be able to connect to the microphone to record audio.
Maybe owain could help here now
if it says couldnt parse package just change permissions to 777 using root explorer then install

are they really? so it's not a mic problem after all, just there is no notification that 'hey, what the hell are you doing?'
could you send where the locking code is? The good thing is that if one app lock is removed, similarly all other apps could be broken.
there ws a file in system/framework called com.xxx.privateapps**.jar
I thought it wld b inteeresting but when I deodexed its class.dex I ddnt get anythng worth it.
so I guess they lock by
1. build.prop entries and
2. signature cross verify using shared ids.
as for new arc firmware best option is to use old arc dump files and not retail ones
as for track id, its nt microphone prob, prob has smthin to do with these files.
useragentprovider.apk
customizationprovider.apk
credentialmanager.apk
well myth999 and archflex its good to see the xda spirit got you and I am happy to see you really dug into all the infos and became a developer yourself now. I really like it when people start helping and still are eager to get to the next step and contribute to the community

hi
here's a little pet peeve of mine
whenever i go to share a picture, website link, etc i am presented with a *huge* list of apps that i could ever possibly use
but here's the truth - i only ever use three (maybe four) of those apps
and, just an extra bonus, those three or four are distributed all up and down that list - and yeah, the gmail icon is at the bottom! lol
is there *any* way to modify that list??
or an app that lets us mod that list??
i'm asking you guys cuz you would know
and... if anybody wants an idea for an app to build... there ya go! i'd pay 99cents (heck, probably even 1.99) for such an app!
and, while i'm asking, i might as well say what would be just killer features ---- allow us to pick the say top five apps that would always show up, and the last entry says "all" so the entire list becomes available
would be good to be able to sort the apps that show up in that list too
anyway.. just gonna throw that out there
??
no one has anything to say about this?
Shame that there are no replies, as this is also bugging me. Here's a bump for the topic.
Annoying me as well. Recently downloaded a QR app and the damn thing added TWO entries. I'd love to be able to remove everything but email, facebook, and messaging...
How can this still be an issue
I can't believe there's no way to filter the list or at least sort the list in order used.
'Intents' and MIME-types
Recently I find that I've become rater annoyed with the list for "share via", and started wondering how I might go about deleting specific items or at the very least rearrange the order in which they appear.
I've been unable to find the answer, as most threads, only consist of the question, and no answers.
I did however find out that what causes an app to appear in the "share via"-list is an 'Intents'-argument with regards to MIME-types (.jpg or .txt etc.) when coding the app.
See: (add the http yourselves, as I'm unable to, with this being my first post)
stackoverflow .com/questions/7891473/how-to-write-an-android-share-plugin
&
stackoverflow .com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog
That means, that in order to remove them from the list, we would need some app, like LBE Privacy Guard, that could limit the "offending" app's 'Intents' in certain regards.
However I've been unable to find anyone that seems to know which file to tweak in order to rearrange the order in which they appear.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, but it may just lead someone on the right path to maybe coming up with a fix for this.
Try 'Andmade Share' from the market, seems like it would be what you're after.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRtYWRlc29mdC5zaGFyZSJd
or
share customizer

Feature request added at code.google 2012-01-25
It would appear that a feature request has been put in at code.google at 2012-01-25
(Again add the http-part yourselves)
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24741
While we are waiting for this "obvious" feature, the above reply's seem to offer what I'm asking for, at least in an app, though it ought to be built in...
Thx a lot itscro & biopsin
EDIT: I think I'll pass on the Share Customizer, with all the funky (chinese?) writing, and dec. 2011 latest update.
Andmade Share however looks like a winner, and I like the fact, that it doesn't require any permissions...
Awesome. Andmade Share seems to do the trick. Love it when old threads are brought back to life and solve a problem.

Mind explaining exactly what this app does? I really didnt see much info even in the original thread. Thanks!
"Timescape is an interesting approach to content sharing. Users browse stacks of tiles revealing status updates from Facebook and Twitter, calls or text messages, unread email, and recent music, photos, or videos recorded or added by the user. Clicking on a tile brings up the information in a browser or corresponding app. A home screen widget provides a snapshot of the latest occurrence, while the full Timescape app features scrollable tiles that move with reasonable fluidity.
The Timescape app won’t replace anyone’s default social networking app full-time, but it is an entertaining way to view content. Having a friend stream pulled from multiple sites can be useful."
I got this info from a website involving a description of this app.

Fyi timescape doesn't work with miui alphas.

I had it on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Its quite a neat feature when it fully works for viewing photos, videos, and your social networks.

Latest version 1.2.6
This app allows you to capture a short movie by automatically rendering the movement into a single still image so that it appears to be a continuous picture. It is perfect for creating animated images with unique expressions in action scenes involving sports, animals, kids, friends, vehicles, airplanes and moving objects.
You can also add a variety of effects (fade-in/fade-out), set the number of animation sequences, and specify other settings to create a original expression. Even more, you can quickly share your images on a social network or upload it to a storage service. Relive and share your memories!
Tested on Xperia go, will surely work with Sola/U/P or higher range Xperias.
You can install it like any other APKs or you can push it to system\app folder if you like. Download link below.

Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.
(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.

Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.
I'm on stock Android 12 with stock Sony launcher. Mine looks the same as always

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.
Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.
I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Found the same request in the Sony Support Forum but no answer/response yet.
Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange
I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...
community.sony.co.uk
FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
