Hi all.
I just got a Tablet Xperia S and i'm really enjoying the control remote app. So here is my question: If I install a custom Android, I will stiil have the same experience with the control remote app? (i'm talking about the app and the list of devices listed there).
Cheers
Depends really if Sony did something to the API's to disallow such thing but since the bootloader is not unlocked yet then it will remain working.

There is no way to install a coustom rom at the moment so your safe enough
The remote controls and the setting should be open to install the apk for the remote with no worries ie side load
You will lose any user defined settings as a custom rom you usally need to do a full wipe but thats what backups are for

Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!
you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.

please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

What does that mean? TV out? Do you mean things like screen mirroring, file sharing etc?
Thanks for your quick responses both of you..

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

Hi, I have Samsung Galaxy 4.2 media player and I LOVE IT !!!.
Question I have is:
What extra futures or functions you get after performing Root.??
Thank you
A lot of things. Like removing ads, allowing root access, using certain apps, and full access to permissions. Not a must but for geeks and people that like Modding then yes

Hello everyone!
I have been using the stock sony rom but i rooted the phone,installed cwm and unlocked bootloader and im searching the best rom and kernel for gaming,battery and music. I recently tested CM 10.1 and its amazing. Im using it right now and i dont regret installing it but i hate the fact that bluetooth does not work and that when capturing a video lips are not synchronized with sound. So, tell me with your experience what do you use and what do you think better. it will help me a lot .
2) Something else, how can i install android 4.2 lockscreen (with the camera swipe and password ) to 4.1.2?
THANKS
Its a rule on xda to ask for 'best' stuff here. In XDA, no one is best.... Its all for you to find out.
I am using CM10.1 by percy_g2. It's best ROM i have ever used. Really smooth & lag free.
You can also try PAC.man.
I see the Ultra is not supported for this App. Disappointing considering we still can't download with Iplayer.......
Devices which can use Anywhere app
Sony Xperia L (C2105)
Sony Xperia SP (C5302/03/06)
Sony Xperia Z (C6602/03)
Sony Xperia Z1 (C6902/03/06/43)
Sony Xperia U (ST25)
It's Virgin's responsibility to update their app. Send them a mail and ask if they can update it.
The Ultra is missed by a lot of developers. I've had a good response rate from developers and they have all said that they acknowledge the issue and will get an update done.

They have only just added any Android support - took them ages. Use the "Contact Us" form on their website to request it to be added, that's what I've done.
If you are rooted there uses a module for xposed called play store fixes which tricks it into thinking the dpi of the phone is different.

I don't believe it's a DPI issue, it's model.
Answer from Virgin Media, not good news:

I don't see why there's a problem, there are many android devices with the same screen resolution and processor.
I would try one of the market helper apps, or xposed, to make Google Play think you're on a recognised device. I had to do this with previous phone, Note 2, to load the tesco clubcard TV app.

Doesn't the phone have to be rooted to use xposed? If so, then the app won't work anyway on rooted devices according to the comments in the store
A late reply but I have a One X which is also not supported. I used Device Spoofer to make my device appear as the HTC One. I was able to download and install the app from the market. In addition the app's record, remote control and program manager functions work perfectly however the ability to watch programs on the phone is blocked by a root checker.

You can only install the app on an approved device though (officially). The TVguide app has record functions but it doesn't have have network remote features.
Why do they do a root check? You can use the software on any PC, with whatever hacks you want installed, but there's some obsession with root on Android...
Hi all, so I'm running a rooted nexus 5 with CM13 rom. I saw some videos on kustom live wallpaper app and how it completely changes phone interface and I was wondering if there was sth similar to it for rooted phones, and hopefully legally free? I want to be able to create buttons/widgets with it's own custom animation/functionalities options. I searched a bit here but no luck. Thx all in advance.

Why don't you just use KWLP?
I was just wondering, since I'm already rooted, if there was a free alternative to it. If not, I guess I'll buy it, purchasing is a little difficult here.
Kwlp doesn't seem to be working on my rooted phone I have arrows ROM installed does anyone know if that will be the problem or do I have to hide kwlp in magisk or anything
