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!

Thanks I will receive my Xperia S tomorrow or Wednesday
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?

hi! about the lockscreen with music widget and FM Radio? Did you?
I think it must required framework
So cant u edit it or modify or sumthin this framework file???
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Yes I can do this I think I'll revised again about mod option icon
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Ohh I thought this was an Xperia S port. Sorry my bad.
By the way. It's complicated modifying framework.
Since framework.jar & framework-res.apk depends on libandroid.so which depends on the kernel. So.... Let's just wait till someone does that for us w
It would have been easy if only this belongs to Xperia 2011 device but problem is Xperia S is based on 2.3.7 with different kernel than 2011 devices.

ICS sandwich runs great on my HTC Vivid..benchmark scores and batteryufe are much better on ICS than on Gingerbread...maybe you will experience same results with Sony...I have been using ICS custom ROM for about a month or so with no bugs..was suprised HTC got it so fast...AT&T had a OTA update bout week before official release..I was lucky to get before they promptly shut it down...guess they noticed their server was very busy with many downloaded the almost half GB download...good luck to you guys..hope u get it soon..

Would you like to help me to develop ex lockscreen which is ported from Xperia S

Very nice package.
Thanks!!
Can you share the defaulttheme.apk only?

Simply the best Xperia S experience theme from ARC (S) forum! THUMBS UP! no one can match this in here! VERY EASY and LESS hassle to install, and uber lightweight, wont make your device slow in any part! I just experienced a few small bugs though. I hope this will be fixed on yor next release.
Sometimes, messaging app goes blank, music player sometimes lags or skips a track if a CPU intensive task is running, and contacts are gone and only a reboot will fix it. Not a big deal and I experienced it twice in 48 hours of use. But fixing this issues will definitely make it perfect.
KUDOS!
You must be patient

There are many Xperia S/T/V walkman ports available for our stock ICS which have clear bass, customisable equaliser. As for the Walkman button I am sure there is a fix that works with the modded Walkman players but for the lights the best you will find is a walkman lights app (separate app) not a setting within the player. I personally have not tried any, I don't like ICS (too slow) so I use stock modded GB.
Walkman lights app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911017
Walkman button fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535915
Walkman player (2012) style: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883595
There are other similar Walkman mods available, but this looks like the best with many features and is supported.
This should help. :good:
thanks for the replies mates looking forward to suggestions
After buying my device, I noticed that the Walkman (Current Music) did not have a widget with trackbar, so I saved the apk from my old device widget (Xperia T2 Ultra Dual), but I could not install, someone could port this apk ?
It looks like the widgets of the attached photos.
I took this apk on Xperia T2 Ultra Dual with Kitkat.
Thanks
Try to sign the apk
