What's New in Xperia V *Walkman*? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Has anyone here who has used it talk about their usage of it? Is there any difference to the audio sound or features?
I notice that there is a ported version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938105
I would definitely like to try the V Walkman if there are any new features, but not for the colour-changing features.

I've installed doomlord's apk on the XU (Paranoid Android). The app has Sony's walkman ui. There are no new features, as such, when put up against other music apps. It's just a matter of whether you like the ui or not.

[Q][ROM DEVELOPMENT] How do you want my first custom rom for Xperia S will look like?

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!

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.

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?

It would be nice, given that you can make good speedy roms, if you could make a final version of miui for GB. The versions out there are abandoned and left with bugs which are fixed by now, since what most people complain about in gb is the graphic UI a good miui rom would be the bomb..
There's plenty of ics roms and jb ones still have major bugs, and tbh gb is not that outdated for our devices...
Maybe you could add serajr's Xperia GX Home Launcher? :cyclops:
Edit: oh sorry, just read you mod it
Really glad to hear that. I have tried almost all the roms our there. My request is please don't add any launcher like u added on ur unlimited rom. Kind;y please make it with original system UI and icons of ICS or JB. and with rom control obviously thanks in advance
how to add BRAVIA ENGINE v2 on my Pestanoid v3? Do you some fix about Xloud work 2 speak when disable.... I would like your rom Zeam Laucher...
I would love to have the following..
Option for sound mod and launcher in Aroma. Reason for the launcher option is that from example I'm using Nova launcher, and when I run a rom with modded launchers, I keep getting forced closes on the home launcher. Which means I need to freeze it. Would be great not to have to do that.
Supercharged and patched with the LED fix. Add Geeky engine, if it doesn't conflict with supercharger?

Enhance Games performance :laugh:
JB status bar
TouchWiz (s3) or JB homescreen will be good
Fully working ROM CONTROL with full AOSP style UI & no Xperia things
im getting so pissed of while making this rom
cant get it to boot
tried 3 base roms (on none of them it boots)
some file is corrupted
seems like im gonna have to do 1000 of flashing :/
So basically this is the unlimited rom but with xperia GX home? Nice!
I think u should mod it to look like JB ... with option to flash Google Now in aroma as well... cz I've seen soooo many ICS based ROMs that look like JB including font and animation and notification panel style etc for arc S...but we don't have any here... so I think that would make your ROM unique!
Best of luck! N try with xperia S home if u can't get xperia GX to work .. they look almost same right..
sry for my noobness but would sum1 plz temme the difference btw xperia GX home and xperia S home?

Would be pretty good if you can try making one JB ROM
this will be rom with looks of new xperia devices and smooth as my unlimited rom
i would work on jelly bean but i cant use jelly bean since i have locked bootloader :/
rom is booting
now its in final stage
is speed its comparable with unlimited rom
Does your new rom have "long press back button kill app" function?
perhaps some sound mod
and made it optional in installer, since some ppl may not like it :angel:
and a great battery life would be better, i think:angel:
thanks ^^
Started new project
Read op
Hope you can port it to hdpi
hey on what you are going to base it? it will be nice to see miui rom based cm10 and later miui v5 based cm10

IcySnap tweaks?

Hi.
I'm using XPERIAICS ROM beacuse i can't live without XPERIA UI, but neko95's IcySnap is faster, as far as i know it has some tweaks for faster speed, and it's really smooth. Is there any download link for these tweaks,or they are icySnap-exclusive (wich will be bad).
if u knw to extract them well .. you can use them for your personal use... neko would not mind that... but if you make it public with some other rom.. then you must atleast tell him about it.. :fingers-crossed:
we need his permissions to remove the tweaks and make it public.. ask him :good: he would surely help
It's just if IcySnap had XPERIA UI i would love to use it as it's the best ICS ROM for O1, and it's truly fast, even faster than CM7, but XPERIA UI is XPERIA UI and it's a dealbreaker for me
I just want the tweaks,nothing else, so i can enjoy smooth ROM,as i have some lags with XPERIA ICS and low game framerate,
> the latest ICySNAP is already applicable to any theme you want.. just install a theme a launcher and widgets you like.. you'll have it on the ROM.
I think that the problem is that the features and changelogs are TOO detailed. Lol. I read that, but I rtfm as much as possible

[Question] Ports for CM Possible?

I am on SlimCM And I really love the Stock Android like feeling it provides but also miss BE. xLoud, Xperia's Camera and other goodies.
I really don't wish to switch back to Xperia Stock ROM/Customized ROM's just because of these.
I visit XDA daily and see that new ports are being made for Stock/Customized ROMs but CM ROMs do not get these goodies.
I wanted to know, Is it impossible for CM to use these goodies like BE, xLoud, Xperia Camera etc. for itself.
I really hate the stock camera that CM ROM's provide us and wish to have Xperia's Camera.
While seeing pics in gallery, I always wish for BE (Bravia Engine i.e.).
Why don't the dev's port these goodies to CM?

How about Original Sony UI in our X device!

Hello guys, I am a Sony fan and i can't stop talking about Sony!
From lollipop OS, Sony using Google's stock UI except home app. Everyone says Google UI is faster than every other user interfaces. But guys i really want to see Sony's original UI (which we seen in Jellybean OS) in latest sony devices. It's good to see Google's Material UI in Sony but also at a time i really want to see Sony UI in today's devices! May be Sony should mix their skin with Google's interface!
I remember using Jellybean OS with Sony skin in my ZR i can say Sony UI is so fast or equal to Google ui and it looks so beautiful than any other brands UI. Also i miss the super cool color illumination bar in X series devices! Why in the blue hell Sony can't use their own UI and color illumination bar and update them like Samsung?! I also miss the cosmic Flow live wallpapers! Sony is degrading everyday they removed all cool features! They stopped upgrading the famous Z series devices? Why Sony why?!
Please if there are any developers please make custom OS 8.0 or 8.1 for our X model with Jellybean Sony UI!
Use eXistenZ + a KitKat theme from Sony Cross Device themes and apps subforum. eXistenZ has the XZ2 theme engine, so with the theme you'll get kinda same experience. Not JB though, but...
Can't i root my phone without unlocking the bootloader like the Z series! ?
