Hi. I just fix it. When I install the xperia z launcher, I deleted the default launcher. Thats is why I can't see the guest mode in anycut. But I just installed The default launcher again and now is working. But from guest mode I just have to press the home button and i'm back to my xperia z launcher.

Not surprising because Android 4.2.x has a native multi-user feature. But with regard to Android 4.0.3, to the best of my knowledge, Sony's tablet is the only one with a native Guest Mode feature.
thanks for sharing this, now I can easily access guest mode on nova launcher.
Guest Mode for All Android Phones (App)
Hi All,
We understand that the guest mode feature in Android L (earlier in LG G2/G3) may not be the perfect way of ensuring privacy. Therefore, we build an app that can do the same for all Android based phones. You can try it for Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker&hl=en)

Hi there xda members.
I got the st15i and I have tried some roms but u have found issues at nearly all of. Like battery drain, auto screen open, problem at loader and so on.
I want to find the perfect Rom (ICS) that will have no issues, I want is as stable as the official.
Until now I tried kamarush's Rom but I think it has faster battery drain and kinda weird issues, exempt that I tried the ExMIUI 2.8.10 and I have now that rim but I have the problem at the market, I can't download any app, I am getting an error after long time of waiting to start the download.
So is there any Rom that is based from official without having any mods or tweaks (if some that won't make issues to the phone ), to have just some unnecessary apps removed so the phone can be lighter and the launcher to be like the official one and not like Sony's one.
I opened the topic for locked bootloaders but when I will get my answer I will make it for unlocked ones too .
Sorry fit my English from now if I have something not understandable

The lite version is like a clone of the stock Rom,almost all of the content is same (UI,etc.)...the normal version is based on stock Rom,butwith many mod installed in it

Try official ics
The official is the easiest way. I am searching for a Rom that will be the official but with the unnecessary apps removed and to be with the trebuche loader

I had to go back to cm7 because my only real problem with ics is about media scan, doesnt refresh and is a pretty bad problem, dont know if someone else have the same problem, but while im over gingerbread, maybe jelly bean would be better, im using a st15

Help with Real MIUI
I'm using Real MIUI by kobzar and for some reason I am not getting the option to select the USB connection mode when I connect my phone to PC.
Any help will be so much appreciated. See screenshot, I am not getting that option and I don't know why.
Already tried:
1. fresh install of everything - no go
If you want a stable rom which is just like the official...why not use the official and use any app to manually remove unnecessary programs? There's also a script to do that http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...her sd managment tools recognize the sd card?

Not necessarily, depends on what you delete. There are several lists of system apps that can be removed without causing any issues, in the bloatware removal kit i showed you there's a pretty extensive list of programs safe to remove.
I decided to unlock the bootloader, it's much easier that downgrading, rooting etc.
Is minicm lite stable as the official cm9 ;
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Let's Unlock BL and u'll have more better choice
I will do so today or tomorrow.
So does anybody know the differences/stableness between the minicm lite and the official cm9 ;
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Most stable is stock Rom . No doubt ... but I have also found real ics 5.2.and cm7.2 stable.

Yup there is, I read that in the battery thread for Xperia s in which doomlord had written that start the phone in safe mode and if the battery drain is still there, its due to a bug in android and if not it's due to an app!!

look like its only for Stock ICS based
i have the xperia u unlocked bl, rooted, modded cpu speed, 6.1.1.B.1.54 (kernel of 6.1.1.B.1.10)
the xperia home (xperia default launcher) is not stayin in memory
weneva i open any app (system or user) the xperia home closes and then reloads again
what is the problem?
R: [Q] launcher not staying in memory
Do you have the stock Rom or a custom Rom?in my stock Rom it is in memory...anyway you can try to modify the build.prop file and set the launcher to stay in memory...I am noob, but reading the build.prop of experience by Divaksh it seems like that for forcing an app in memory you need to add a line like this:
system.keep_app_1=full name of the app (in your case com.sonyericsson.home)
Hope that helped you...

how about the reverse?
For example, i have a game that does not have an exit button, so i have to exit it using the home button and kill the huge ram consuming process in "applications" under "setting". (I know that i don't have to do it, but it freaks me out not to. Maybe that's what too much years of windows does to you.)
is it possible to set an application to automaticaly be removed from ram after you're done using it?

Hi after I have installed several apps , played with the input and phone languages, installed a new keyboard, and ultimatelly received this "unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error the effects when I click on an icon on the screen are gone, the wavy effect is just not there and I have searched the whole phone for solution.
R: [Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon
The several apps right there might be a problem...or the rom is buggy (many are).
So tell us what rom it is, what android v, what apps youve installed that required root access.and if youve modded.any futher the rom or enabled mods already within the rom.

The rom is the standard one that I reckon comes with the phone.
I haven't had modified anything apart from installing apps and updates.
The phone is not rooted in any way. Nor have I modded or inserted into the rom.
I have updated to jelly beans. And the latest applications I have installed are koffice, swift key, poker stars, and I am quite sure I have been changing settings but nothing visual.

Some of them are, but some I have downloaded in a different way if you know what I mean. Hopefully I haven't caught a virus or something like that. Now, a factory reset will erase all my data right? And what else?

A factory reset is better than resetting a factory i guess....
Factory reset really seems best.
Just make a backup of your apps (use titanium backup) and then restore them
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
that's interesting, because as far as I know, the ripple effect on the desktop (not the lockscreen) is not included in the stock ROM. are you sure you're not talking about the lock screen? you can enable the ripple effect by going to Settings - lock screen
Yeh I am sure. I'm sure that it was there for some time after I have updated the os. Then again I have installed a great deal of software which I think had made my wavy effect disappear?!
And can I do a backup of the apps with no root access I don't think it's a good idea to play an expert and damage the phone beyond repair. Thanks!

Aye, what do I have to do? If you just give me a link to the most current method used, please.
The phone is gt-i9300 international. Thanks!
read the basics
I realise that. But there's a lot of people who suggested all sorts of different ways doing the same thing. All in all if you flash the rom solely don't it enables root privileges in a more effective fashion..? Thanks!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
R: [Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon
The most effective fashion is the most complete one, not how you do it.
If youre speaking of flashing through odin modified parts of the rom so you can gain root access..then yes thats what i did (just look it up on youtube, make sure you write galaxy s3 international (if international version) and android version of your rom).
If youre speaking of flashing a custom rom which comes with root access already unlocked, you need to have root for that.
Its easy you can find it on google or youtube. Best method for now (or perfectly working one used by the most people) is flashing some stuff through a programm for pc (or mac i think, but im not sure) called odin. Then i advise (once you have root) you boot into the phone and install from the play store rom manager. Thru this app you may install a new recovery (basically safe-partition of disc, think of it as a bios or firmware for a pc. What u need it for is to save ur ass if u f***k up your phone, or to make COMPLETE backup images of your device so that you may restore them later on. It can also be used to flash other recoveries and therefore replace itself, or flash other roms or kernels. Its a MUST HAVE for anybody with root)

but rooting will not get your ripple effect back. If you said that you had it before you installed something, then factory reset
