For those of you who still use 2.1 eclair, but try to add a better looking face:
- agile lock - free - on the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen&feature=search_result
- Xperia Active Launcher : working on stock, I am using it from 3 days already, no FC, taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187008 - post 30
Then, if you have cypress chip (but also Dx module for synaptics) - if you need dual touch module "ax8mt" by ANDyX, you may need this toolbox (by puppet13th) to install hassle free ( and also the other goodies: CWM, dual recovery, etc.) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
Reasons : If you use your device as a PHONE, as primary function, you might think twice on installing any ROM....but this does not mean it HAS to look ugly (especially teh lockscreen of 2.1.)...decision is yours.
Hope this is usefull,
Cheers,
I get FC when trying to use Active Launcher on 2.1update1..
"Sorry! The application Xperia Active (process com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. "

That one was version 20, I believe. Trust me, on my 2.1. works this version. Rooted, JIT enabled, ax8mt module installed with the x8toolbox by puppet13-th. Donno if JIT has anything to do with it, or maybe Busybox? Thing is, it works.

I'm rooted with Busybox installed.. Just checked and it's busybox V1.15.3, maybe old version??
I dont have JIT installed or ax8mt. Might try updating busybox and installing JIT.
It attempts to start and I see the 4 launcher corners appear but FC's straight away before I can attempt to use it.

If you read the original thread, there were some similar reports. And on other devices it worked. Not sure why ....sorry for the excitement, on mine it works.
BUSYBOX: on my device is 1.18.4.

No worries glad you have it working
This app seems to be V20 ??
Reboot didnt help. I might try installing new busybox.. Although a quick search I noticed someone lose xrecovery after updating busybox from market.. I'll search and read some more to make sure everything will be ok if I start messing with busybox..

no, wait, use the x8toolbox. It will help you install JIT and busybox both. And this way U skip the market step.

Not V 20, V 20 app seems to work only on CM7. This one is taken from the post 30 of that thread.

I tried the one from post 30 on that thread and the one off this thread. When I install the .APK with easy installer the file info says "Xperia Active 2.0.A.0.20" Maybe i've got the wrong idea?

thx i'll give that a try..
Right. Thing is the other apk's of the original thread cannot be installed on 2.1. since they are compiled for CM7 (2.3.x).
ok. Installed busybox 1.18.4 using x8toolbox and lost xrecovery. rebooted fone and flashed xrecovery back to fone. Installed JIT. quadrant score went to 512 (woo! )
I have Xrecovery back. Busybox 1.18.4 installed, JIT installed. then...
I Installed the Xperia Active and it still doesnt work.. FC again!..
ah well not to worry.. Glad you got it working on yours..

Oh, one other thing, no idea if it is important or not.
I use link2sd and I have a FAT 32 ext. partition. So, when I installed it, automatically was moved (link) there. Maybe this way I don't have the conflict you were mentioning?
Cheers, sorry for that...
One theme
Guys, great theme done by AChep & D-Shel that works on stock, to restyle your X8, you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214655
Credits go to them, AChep and D-Shel who are doing a great job, again.
...Still, that agile lock screen really does the trick, in my oppinion.
Cheers,
how to return it to its original state?.,
Uninstall apk? Or go back to backup in order to remove theme?
I'm looking to install Busybox via the ADB method, I've seen various links posted on different web sites to the tarball of a pre-built Busybox binary for Android. However, none of them seem to point to a particularly well known or reliable source.
Furthermore, as the s5830i has an ARMv6 CPU, is it possible to use this binary from the official Busybox web site or is it not Android compatible?
http://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/busybox-armv6l
Failing that would somebody mind please pointing me to the latest one that works?
"BusyBox Free" is an app you can get from the Play Store. Works great here, some apps that didn't work correctly on older busybox versions (those included with the ROM) function perfectly now.
Be careful with updating busybox !!!!!
On my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 when I upated busybox I bricked my phone.

GermainZ - I never realised there was a busybox in the stock ROM, (I have an app that is complaining about no busybox so I wrongly assumed I didn't have it at all). With regards to "BusyBox Free" aka "BusyBox" in Google Play, unfortunately there are a few quite recent comments from people that have broken internet or bricked their phones with it. What version of busybox do you currently have installed and have you been receiving the updates via the app OK?

Taking into account also what Ruben has said, if the busybox commands or even options on the commands have changed slightly between differrent versions and the stock ROM is relying on busybox commands in some way then presumably this could cause pretty big problems.
I installed the latest version (1.20.2) to system/xbin. You need root access BTW.
Works like a charm.

Not instaling
Busy box isn't installing in my Xperia z ultra
Hello all. I just recently updated my N10 to 4.3 and found out a bunch of apps aren't working for it, namely the ones above. I had to flash back to 4.2.2 in order to get the apps working again. Just an FYI.

Chances are there is a problem with SELinux. I'm not sure if it's specific to Samsung TouchWiz ROMs/kernels, but I'm having this issue again once I left AOSP 4.3 and started running TW 4.3.

its not working with most of the games like subway surfers , temple run , asphalt 8 etc
Something changed in selinux or something with SU that broke game killer. Other similar apps work fine, but they don't have the ability to change multiple values at once, or set a variable to a negative value.

Hi all I just recently ported to this ROM. The ROM looks cool but bit difficult to understand(For me at least ) how to install super su instead of the annonoying built in security app and YES I already flashed the super su zip file from twrp and it was succesfull but the super user app is working like I opened the super user app and it didn't ask root access(same problem with busybox.xposed and ad away apps) the apps are not asking for root access T_T went to security app checked root access
The only app that asked root permission was titanium backup and its working correctly
Thank you
@STMypy hey bro its me your pal again
@stympy hey bro its me your pal again back with a fresh doubt
Just download update supersu v 2.46.zip file . After that flash them through twrp . Thats all .
I think busybox is already installed in this firmware

Soo let me understand... you did not want the default root manager from MIUI and installed SuperSU 2.46.
The flash was made from TWRP?

If you root you will lose Knox and all related Knox apps. Samsung pass and Samsung pay will never work again. S health can be made to work easily.
If you need to update then you just u root and do it OTA or just flash updates manually through Odin.
There are many positives of rooting but it depends on what you want root for. I have root for mods, theming and audio mods and removal of bloat. There's too much to name.
Thanks for your reply @callumbr1 i know Root's positives but I do not know negatives. For example if I will bring root Will I lose which features?
I want to only update system apps fot ex:edge screen, TouchWiz and make my phone more fast and delete saate apps or etc.
Do you know root disable how features in phone

You don't need root to update system apps like edge screen.
The negatives... you lose some Samsung apps. All Knox and features.
Really ? How can I update ? I found APK's but system does not give an update permission and give error. I do not using know app , only using SamsungPass, I think it's not big lose thanks

You can update edge screen through galaxy apps. The rest can be done by downloading apk manually. If you get any errors tell me what they are. Use like apk mirror for the apps.

Because sometimes some new versions are to update features that you might not have on your phone. Like edge lighting for examples rooting to update them would make no difference. :good:
