[SOLA][U][P][S]Android 4.2 Apps - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi guys, you probably know, that Android 4.2 has been announced just few days ago. I tested some of the leaked apps and they work, so I post it here, so you can easily find it. I have tested all these apps on my Xperia Sola running Cyanogenmod 9.1 (FXP144b) and it works. The camera sometimes freezes but that is the fault of the system and not the app itself. When the camera will be fixed, it will work just fine.
Android 4.2 Apps:
Camera & Gallery: link
Change the following lines in build.prop in order to make photosphere work: ro.product.brand=google ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
Then flash in recovery
Keyboard: link
Flash in recovery
Gmail: link
Delete or rename the original Gmail.apk to Gmail.apk1 or something like that and put the new Gmail2.apk in system/app and set permissions to rwxr-xr-
Keyboard works, but swiping works just for English.
Photosphere works just on devices with gyroscope.

Gmail will, Camera should, but I do not know about keyboard. Backup your original gmail, keyboard and gallery if you do not want to reflash if you are not successful. The original camera will not get replaced.

It is in the first post.
Edit your build.prop and change the following lines: ro.product.brand=google ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
Then flash in recovery

Do not rename the gmail2.apk, just put it in here and rename the original gmail.apk to gmail.apk1 or whatever. Then reboot.
I dont know if you can do this with permissions as original....I would set it as usual....RWxR-xR-

No this lets you capture and view Photo Spheres right on your handset.
Just reflash.
