[Q] Walkman Live Wallpaper PNG Modding - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi
I downloaded the Walkman live wallpaper from this post and installed it and it works well. The issue is that the image inside the apk is HDPI res not MDPI as I want it on my Live with Walkman. I tried using APK Manager to mod it as well as a few other methods but I could not get it to work, it just wouldn't install (Application not installed ).
I was thinking if someone could mod it for me, as far as I am aware it is not a hefty task especially for a experienced modder/dev. So help is appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
More details...
There is only one image I want replaced in the apk,
res/drawable-mdpi/wallpaper_01.png
I have attached the apk and the new image (which is a mdpi res of the original).
Thanks

Couldn't you just resize the png?
Google for how much to be reduced (percentage) from hdpi to mdpi.

I have already tried that hence I made this post, I have also attached the resized png as well as the apk. I just want the mentioned png in the apk to be replaced by the png uploaded in this post. With this done it must be installable, currently I get the error 'application not installed' so I must of not packaged it properly or the signing procedure must of gone wrong? I really don't know, I am not an experienced modder.
Other suggestions/help?

Bump...

User apps (all non-system) have to be signed after compiling, if you don't, then you get that error.
Other issue is, when you try to install app with higher API level. You can not install ICS apps on GB and vice versa. Older Android versions only detect some API levels, newer versions support all previous levels + some newer.

I tried the original apk (attached) on the latest .62 GB firmware which worked. I just want one image replaced but I cannot get it to work when I try the modded one with changed image. I think it is a system app so cannot be signed, the Sony Ericsson signature must be retained-there are some Sony Ericsson files in the apk.
So it still doesn't work.

I've solved my own problem. Because the original apk was Sony Ericsson signed I had to retain the SE signature which through APK Manager failed (no idea why) so I deleted the SE signature files and replaced the HDPI PNG with my MDPI PNG and then signed it using a apk signer from the internet. I installed the live wallpaper and it works great, should be pre-installed on the LwW, looks nice with relatively low RAM usage (around 7MB).
Thanks for the contribution guys! :victory:

Well i have my x10 with a custom rom,and installed timescape from the arc dump;everything's working good thanks to a tutorial on how to install it. My question is that when i had the stock timescape and published something on Facebook trough it;it said published trough sonyericsson xperia. Now with this new timescape it says published trough semc beta or something. My question is where do i have to edit to have the same as before;i mean published trough SonyEricsson and the SE logo like in the eclair stock rom. In the build prop? Or in the Meta inf of the apk? If so which apk should i edit. Timescape or Facebook. Plugin? Thanks for your time
u will need to modify the timescape apk...

i've tries that yesterday but i could not find the line to be moddified,maybe istalling 2.1 timescape???? just like the arc but with the eclair apk and settings.
Can some one pull the files please?
Browser settings
open browser, settings, select user agent. that is the only way I know, but they are pre selected phone id's but from what I've heard, when you manually change device id, it could lead to trouble. asthetics are something for the future, I'd be happy with a working timescape
If you had enough time you could decompile the app and find the string that says beta and simply replace it. Ive had a bit of app coding experience and it seems pretty simple. Like i said though decompiling such a big app and finding where the string is used and how many times can be a lot of work.
If you get me a link i can have a look but no promises

Well not all the applications are in Market for example the updated Home Launcher, New Timescale UI, Data Monitor Widget etc.
The update has same kernel and android version so installing all these apps/replacing other default apps will "update" my already rooted 2.3.3 right? Will try this weekend.
Thanks for posting the apks!
photo widget is missing from my widget list.. guess PhotoWidget.apk is not compatible with the old fw
Cant install the weather widget and the theme manager,,why?
Sent from my Sonyericsson Xperia Arc
Try to move them all to /system then change permission. Then move them one by one to /system/app. Others will have to be replaced. See if that works. Will try myself this coming weekend.
Edit: When I said all, I mean all apks including framework. Framework. jar should also be in its right folder. You'll know it is right because it will ask you to replace the file. Framework.apk is important for home, themes, xloud, widgets to work. Reboot after you've done that.
So if I want xLoud, I'll lose my current theme?
Yes because it is activated in settings menu which is in new framework apk. Just mod it again after you are done.
Are there other .apk I need to use xLoud or just the framework-res.apk?

Yeah, I've also tried this... DO NOT replace your framework-res.apk from 3.0.1.A.0.145 with the newer 4.0.A.2.368 version. Your phone will get stuck in a reset loop and unless you have an unlocked bootloader, its a huge pain to get root again.
I ended up just using the 4.0 firmware though because I love the new weather widget so much
with 4.0 firmware the phone is running faster w/o root compared to 2.3.3 with all bloatware frozen with tbp.

[Themes] DefaultThemesCustomizer for SONY ICS

​
DefaultThemesCustomizer by Adrian DC : http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/ics_defaultthemescustomizer.html
The application will allow you to set your own wallpaper on each default color schemes of the SONY ICS ROM,
just by simple choices and a single Wallpaper.png to change !
The script handles the images creation and building, there's nothing to worry about.
Provided apks are from the official 4.0.4, but you can replace them by 4.0.3 apks if you want to use the application with this version of ICS.
Now even works for SONY GB 2.3.4 !
Also provided by default is my own Bokeh-6-4 Wallpaper, which I do use in most of my previews.
Bye !
----------
If you like my work, don't forget to press the :good: Thanks button ! Thanks you ^^
He he he, why dont you wait posting until ready?
I know, but since I spent the last 4 + 4 hours working on it,
and that I finalised the whole pack a few minutes ago,
I needed the thread link to add a shortcut to it in the pack.
Just a few big minutes, don't worry
But if you want to test it, contact me by PM ^^
Looking forward to it!
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
That's it, you can test it !
I'm waiting for feedbacks, as you all know,
there's always something that can be weird on Windows..
But it should be good, works fine on the two PCs I could test it on,
and with some users who tested it for me before release.
'night everyone !
But I want to use it with Gingerbread 2.3.4
Can not?
Send me both apks by PM, I'll make sure you can. Bye!

I've added the dll you miss, version 2 online, let me know !
EDIT : Working on a new version 3 compatible with SONY GB 2.3.4..
That's it, done ! Should work on both ICS and GB 2.3.4 !
(Does work on my ICS 4.0.4, please confirm GB).
I can only change one theme of the defaultthemes.apk...???
not all 7 of them...
It would be awsome if I could change all seven themes....
:good::good:
Then it already is awesome xD !
At the end, you can choose to customize an other color or exit the software.

(News, sorry for double posting..)
A whole new version is online, based on my current development of HomeCustomizer which might be released soon.
Much for efficient, more secure and with an automatic creation of flashable zip in addition to the AndroidFilesInstaller files.

Guys, do I need a rooted device in order to use this tool? Does it work on Xperia Arc also?

Hi !
My DefaultThemesCustomizer application doesn't require root since the new version 7.
Indeed, since I now also build a flashable zip to install the files,
in addition to my original AndroidFilesInstaller files,
you now get a Flashable zip to Install the apk and an other one to restore
the original files you just modded !
But if like me you prefer to use my AndroidFilesInstaller, then yes, you need root.
The application should work with every ICS phone from the Xperia 2011 serie,
but so far, I can only assure the Arc S and the Arc are working fine with it,
Ray, Neo/Neo V and others are still to be confirmed.
Bye !
ADC
No problem.
Nonono don't rename the zip, they are build as they have to be ^^
Flashable zip are to be installed from the CWM Recovery.
And now that I think of it... You should need root to install CWM on the ROM...
Or if you did unlock your bootloader, which would seam unprobable here,
you could use the normal CWM without root...
Anyways, root is so much better than normal.. The choice is yours
EDIT : You should try installing the apks without AndroidFilesInstaller, just by installing them normally.
Since they are system apps, I'm not sure you'll be able to install them that way, but who knows?
If you look closer to the modded files, you'll see that you get :
- FlashableZip[ThemesCustomized] > Flashable zip to install new Themes
- FlashableZip[ThemesOriginal] > Flashable zip with original Themes
- system~app[DefaultThemes] > Files to install with my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh
This last one contains the very apk that you just modded,
so try to install them manually..
If it doesn't work, think about rooting.. It's much better afterward ^^.
vassil_bk said:
Thank you! Unfortunately this was the first thing I tried and it didn't work. It gave me: "Application not installed." and only the "OK" button.
Thank you again for your help! It is getting obvious that I should consider rooting the device if I want to change these things...
Still I don't understand why Sony don't give this opportunity through the settings menu but lock some predefined (mostly a lot ugly) themes instead...

Yep, root might be the solution to many problems ;D
Ahah yeah, if the phone brands did give us full design control and choices,
things would be much more easy for users..
Hmm i dont know if im doing something wrong here... but
Okay so I get to the part where it ask to choose the following defaults colors, It opens a window with the folders so I choose that wallpaper and try to assign it to number 1, click enter and it just loops. Opens another window with the samething...confused here.
I feel like im doing this part wrong.
Will check that asap, I'll let you know.

EDIT : I tried it, it's working just fine..
By assigning, what do you exactly mean...?
The only thing you have to do is to change the wallpaper
if you want to, but it has to keep the same name,
so as the mask png which also is needed and can be changed.
Then just choose the color by the number and press enter.
If you try to rename the pngs, which isn't said to be done anywhere,
the securities I've put in the script will make the request loop
until you fix the errors and have propre pngs in place.
Hope it helped.

Ultimate LED FIX for Xperia ICS (4.1.B.0.431):SMS,Missed Call,etc,everything working!

Ultimate Notification LED fix for Xperia (ICS 4.0.4, 4.1.B.0.431)
Introduction
One of the most annoying bugs in the everyday use of Sony's official ICS firmware version 4.1.B.0.431 (and later) is that the notification LED only works for missed calls, and it doesn't notify anything else anymore.
Ironically, the previous beta firmware ICS 4.0.3 v4.1.A.0.562 showed a specular bug: the notification LED didn't notify missed calls, but it was working for everything else (SMS, Email, ..).
The "Ultimate Notification LED fix"
I've got around fixing this bug by reversing and doing a minor change in a 4.1.B.0.431 framework file (services.odex).
The patched file has the notification LED working for everything as it was in GB firmware: the LED now blinks for missed calls, sms, emails, and any other application showing LED notifications (eg: K9-mail, Whatsapp..).
Update: This patch now works on all Xperia devices with 4.1.B.0.431 firmware, and it has been tested initially tested on a Xperia Mini Pro sk17i.

By downloading and using files linked in this page you express your understanding that you use those files at your sole risk.
No one can be held responsible for any damage directly on indirectly related to files linked in this page.
If you flash something to your phone you must remember that there's always a minimal chance that something goes wrong: you know it, I can't be held responsible if your phone gets wrecked, if your working LED flashes during a work meeting and you get fired, or anything else.
Downloads and Install Instructions
To install this fix you have to be in a stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware v4.1.B.0.431, with root and ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery installed.
To install the fix simply download the right package for you, and:
make sure your phone is charged! It's always safer when you need to flash something.
put the downloaded ZIP it in the root of your SD Card
reboot into CWM recovery
Do a Nandroid backup using CWM ("backup and restore" => "backup"): you shouldn't end in a bootloop if you download and apply the proper file, but it is a good practice to a CWM backup before applying mods and patches, so you can easily restore it and go back if anything goes wrong!
did I mention to do a Nandroid backup?
choose "Install ZIP from sdcard" => "Choose zip from sdcard"
browse to the ZIP in your SD Card
choose apply and reboot device.
enjoy a properly working led
The right package to download for you depends on your current system framework files status.
Use the following list and infos to find the proper download for you:
If you have an Xperia device on stock ICS 4.0.4 v4.1.B.0.431, and never applied other LED patches: install Busybox if you don't have it already, and download the following universal patch Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_UNIVERSAL_stock_rom_by_zxp.zip (originally attached to post #37).
Note: Busybox must be installed on your device before installing this package, or it will not work. The patch scripts expects Busybox to be installed into /system/bin.
If you never applied any patch and don't know what to download, this is the file you want!
Why: it is smaller, and only replaces the services.odex file with the patched one, that's all you need; the services.odex is automagically generated in your device, that's why Busybox is used, and this is what makes this package "universal".
If you your device currently has arcatarc's fix applyed: download Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp_FOR_arcatarc_fix_users.zip
Why: if you used on arcatarc fix, this package will restore 4.0.B.0.431 framework files along with the patched services.odex, because arcatarc's fix installed the old 4.1.A.0.562 framework files and this change needs to be reverted.
If you are using a stock deodexed ICS 4.0.4 v4.1.B.0.431 firmware: download Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_FOR_DEodexd_roms_by_zxp.zip
Why: it will replace the services.jar with the patched classes.dex inside.
This works for all Xperia Devices, including but not limited to the Xperia Mini Pro sk17i/a.
If you are using the new firmware v4.1.B.0.587: you are lucky, I have also released the Ultimate LED FIX for the new firmware 4.1.B.0.587. You can download it from the new version thread.
If you are using an even newer firmware: you have to wait for Sony to release this firmware for my sk17i, so that I can port the patch over the new version, or wait for someone to port it.
Background info, closing notes and thanks
As already specified this patch is based off stock 4.1.B.0.431 framework: I simply deodexed with baksmali, manually edited one .smali file to change the offending code that prevented the LED to work properly, and packed everything back.
I hope to find time to post very soon a Tutorial on how to apply the fix yourself, for educational purposes and to help less experienced people to port it over the .587 version.
Experienced users should be able to compare the stock 431 baksmali-ed services.odex and the patched one to find the small change, and port it over .587 without the need of my forthcoming guide.
Thanks to _mysiak_, he posted the Xperia Arc S stock framework files that I used to understand what path I had to follow to make "universal" patch.
Thanks to arcatarc, he posted the old 4.1.A.0.562 services.odex in his "partial fix" thread (I say "partial" because it simply used .562 framework files which showed a specular bug, as explained in the introduction), I have compared that version to the new one to quickly spot which file needed to be patched.
If you happen to port this patch to a newer firmware please post a link to your thread, so that I can add it in this post to inform users with such firmware that a patch exists for them.
If you want to inform other users of this patch please link back to this thread and don't simply re-upload/re-post a package. A link to this thread is the only way to be sure that users chose the proper package and can be updated if there is the need for a new/updated patch.
Bugs & Known Issues
This patch is now used by thousand of users without any reported issue or strange behavior.
If you install this patch and you end in a boot loop it means you have applied the wrong package. Please re-read the download info & instructions, and apply the proper zip. Period.
If you find any real problem please post it, and I'll update this section.
Changelog
2012.09.05 (current): Released the new Universal patch for stock/odex devices. The new Universal patch for stock/odexed fw now works on all Xperia devices, not only on the Xperia Mini Pro sk17i. This replaces the old first package, which has been deleted from this thread. (See posts #32 and #37 if you are curious on how/why it works).
Now all packages work an all Xperia devices.
2012.09.04: Updated infos for those having bootloop on stock/odex devices different from the Xperia Mini Pro with the first (small) package, while researching for a solution. (See posts #11 and #12 for reference).
2012.09.03: Initial release.
Additional Notes for those coming from arcatarc's fix
If you have used arcatarc "partial" fix you may have noticed that it had 2 major user visible problems:
the LED notification for missed calls was not working
it showed a single white blink when some notifications appeared in the statusbar: eg the Xperia Keyboard "choose input method" notification caused a white LED blink each time it appeared.
This patch doesn't have those problem, everything (seems!) to work as it should!

LED fix for deodexed roms works perfect , however the first one didn't work for me.... thanks man...!!!
Bootloop on mini, stock ICS 4.0.4 v4.1.B.0.431...
Stuck at XPERIA boot logo on Arc S, stock ICS 4.0.4 v4.1.B.0.431..
Thanks for your feedback, I'll try to help you solve the bootloops if I can.
Bear in mind that if you flash the package for the stock firmware you need to have all of the framework files untouched. If you have previously used other patches/fixes that modified some file inside /system/framework you can get a bootloop, and I can only help if you have modified files because you applied arcatarc fix before.

I'm using "the first one" (if you meant Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp.zip) on my own sk17i and it works!
If you tried to flash the "first one" in a deodexed rom I believe it's normal you've got a bootloop. If it was a stock (odexed) rom please tell me what do you mean by "didn't work"? You had a bootloop or your LED didn't act properly?
Did you install in a stock, unmodified, sony .431 firmware on your sk17? Was it another mobile?

I was on Arc S stock ICS, with "small" Arcatarc's fix (only services.odex replaced) and this fix put me into bootloop -> Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp.zip.
Now I tried Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp_FOR_arcatarc_fix_users.zip and phone booted fine. LED notification seems to be working fine as well. I compared all jar/odex files between stock Arc S ROM and from your fix and their content is different (though size is exactly the same).

So far the only confirmed installs are coming from sk17 users.
Maybe the other devices have some different framework file? If one of the $BASECLASSPATH files is different in other mobile phones this can't work. Well, actually it means that the patch can't be universal, and must be customized for each mobile.
AleksandarST15 if you did a nandroid backup so you can easily revert, can you please make 2 tests?
Here are the tests:
flash again the same zip, and try to clear dalvik cache & cache before reboot. You should get the bootloop again, but it is worth trying
flash the second file (Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp_FOR_arcatarc_fix_users.zip) and reboot. This comes with all required framework libs, coming from the sk17i. Does it works?
If the first one works the patch can be universal.
If the second one works, the patch can't be universal. You can still flash that file that comes with all framework files, but if your mobile phone has different framework files it is not the definitive solution to overwrite them with those coming from another mobile phone.

Thanks for your report _mysiak_! I was writing a reply and I didn't see it.
This seems to confirm point 2 of my last post, that is framework files differ a bit from mobile to mobile. That's why you get the booloop by flashing only the services.odex: all framework jar/odex files must be consistent.
It would help to know if they only differ in their signature (maybe because it is device-specific) or in the rest of the contents (the dex contents). Has anyone links to documentation (official/unofficial) that clears this point? Or dumps of stock framework libs for another device (not a sk17)?
If the content (and not only the header) is different would mean that anyone not having a sk17 can flash Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp_FOR_arcatarc_fix_users.zip to quickly have working LED notifications, but this can have side effects because their framework files contain some different code...in this case the better option would be to have a owner of each device to port the patch to its device and post back.
i cant believe its finally working again! good job zxp.
st15i, real ics lite r3, deodexed.

It's the same I thought. Finally this stupid LED working again!
Thanks for your feedback, this confirms that the deodexed version is device-independant (the dependency on the other framework files comes on the odexing phase obviously).
I've updated the first posts with updates from user feedback.

REPORT!
I'm using Ultimate_4.1.B.0.431_Notification_LED_FIX_FOR_DEod exd_roms_by_zxp.zip for coconut on Real ICS 5.2
LED Notif is working (but no missed call)

You shouldn't use it on 587, it would be safer to wait for someone to port it to .587, or wait my port (if Sony releases .587 for sk17i).

I guess you flashed the deodexed package? The odexed had less chances to work..
I'm still surprised. Sony didn't change anyting in service.jar in .587?

As far as I know Real ICS contains many tweaks and customizations, maybe they changed other framework files that break the patch.
Did you try to wipe dalvik cache? I didn't need it on the stock (odexed) rom, I don't know if it may be necessary for deodexed roms.

[Q] Need help or tutorial to modify cm10's framework for osb's dpi

Does anyone know how to decompile and recompile the framework for cm10 nightly build? I'm using Framework Toolkit by Themike *it simply cant recompile everything from original framework into new modded framework after editing the dimens.xml for osb's dpi (i assume, the modded framework (5MB+-) is significantly smaller than the original untouched framework (9MB+-), and the modded framework give bootloop). thanks
ICS apks are hard to decompile and and recompile. you got to search a lot to get a working apktool. the tool needed to for decompiling and recompiling.
moreover the apk is to be "signed". Just make sure you sign your apk.
you got to have a better understanding of xml for this. other than this i cant help. Good luck :good:
you can use mod to add OSB. it also provide modded settings.
Btw mate the system apps. Or files are not to be signed afaik and even if you sign it,you'll have to sign all system files with the same!
Isn't it?

Ghostfreak: yup, but i dun think CM team will sign all the apps they modify, are they? btw, nvm. I guess i better stick to ICS 1st, CM10 still kinda too buggy to be used on daily usages. JB source and resource for xperia are still too limited......
rajxelton: CM10 is based on JB 4.1.2, not 4.0.4 ICS (CM9) anymore of course the modding will be kinda different somehow, and CM10.1 is now 4.2.1 but under alpha release to test for development purpose. and ya, i do know those xml files under the values folder. i did made my own framework for my own use before.....
