So, I bought an Xperia Tablet Z and it comes with the xperia link app, that I assume would work wonders on my phone as a router using bluetooth.
But it seems that I cannot install it, google play says my phone is not campatibel and I got myself wondering if you folks could help me out.
Is there a way to do so?
I want to install this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.xperialink
On a galaxy S3, please help?
Thanks in advance!
You can backup the apk with astro file manager maybe and install manually but it simply may not work in non xperia devices due yo framework dependancies

Google the apk or get it from Xperia forum and sideload it .

Actually I already tried that, but the apk simply wont install...
I really would like this to work.
Any more ideas?
I would post an ask in Themes and Apps with a link to the apk . See if anyone has a go at porting it .

None that i know of. Maybe with some apk editing we can fix that, but i don't know. Ray's screen is too perfect that all the text is too small..

Hi all. I am really excited to install custom ROM in other thread. But I don't want to lose my apps and settings. Is there a way to backup and restore them after flashing? You know, need not an hour to do that. Thanks.

You can download an app from the market such as titainium backup or my backup, that will back up all your apps and data, once you install your rom download the app from the market again and restore. All of your apps will be restored
There are a few paid and none paid apps in market, I use paid version of titainium backup but i have used my backup in the past

if your phone is rooted, you can edit file /system/build.prop. at string ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (9 from bottom) and change density to 260 or 280, than ALL text elements will slightly bigger. need reboot after changing.
Well frankly i don't think the messaging fonts are smaller... It's quite comfortable...
That lcd build.prop method was very common in Sensation section... but there we used to decrease it to 204 and with that you get 5x5 application drawer inn HTC sense...,don't know how it will behave here...
secondly, users reported that some market applications show incompatible if you change lcd density...

Hi Gents
I have my phone rooted with unlocked bootloader and i use stock rom .42 with Doomkernel.
Now when I connect my Ray to PC, PC Companion says that new firmware is available for my phone (.62). Do you know what would happen if I would start updating through PC Companion? Brick? Loosing root? Nothing? Simply updating? What is your oppinion about that? Thanks for support.

i already did it some time ago...but now i can´t get it to work again and this file doesn´t exist anymore
my steps are:
- open .apk in betterzip
- take out some .png and change it
- replace the .png
- save the .apk
- sign it
- install
- error, app not installed
i did some searches and found something about deleting the files of the "META-INF" folder, but that didn´t work either
i guess it´s related to the launcher not just being a launcher but also a system-file or something
so...what am i doing wrong?

Just put the apk in system/app change permission to rw-r-r and restart.
you mean copy / paste with a file manager or install??
and why change the permission? the original launcher has other permissions (i´m just curious)
/e: oh ****, it worked
thx man!
can it do it the same way when modding the framework-res.apk?

ok try this: go to manage apps-> google play store->clear data.
If that doesnt work, try installing the old market, and let it update to play automatically, that might work
is there a way to add language pack into ics keyboard? i hope to have chinese input
and how to use 'next line' instead of 'send' in Enter button when sms ?
possible solution
using root explorer go to data>apps. you will find an app named something like com.playstore or something like that. just find the app with the playstore icon. delete it but before deleting copy it somewhere else just to make sure. now the app will be uninstalled from your phone. download google play app from somewhere on the internet and install it. i think that it should fix the problem.
Hey imbawind,
did u use your adrenaline script with the cm rom?
i think the problem is the script.
Whenever i use it on stock rom, it work just fine, but when i use it on cm rom include cm9, the market force close when i click it. But the problem solve after delete play store from system app and clear dalvik-cache and reinstall again.
I think your script only work on stock rom.

I'm not sure if any rom needs root, just CWM installed. Some roms give you root by default though.

Is the Xperia z launcher.
For icon packs look in play store.
Atm I would rather ask for a stable kitkat than for a bunch of themes and icons.
