Hey guys,
Have this thing ordered, should be coming on Saturday.
I was just wondering if it was like the case with Samsung roms where apk's (particularly for the IR remote) were dependent on Sony's framework and wouldn't work on AOSP.
Seems like they wouldn't but I ask because there was talk of how well drivers were supported on their dev portal...
Most rely on Sony's framework, but many of them (specially Media apps) have been ported. They don't always works as good as with Sony's fw.

Hi there,
i like the stock rom with touchwiz, but i also would like to use the wiimote app which only works with an asop bluetooth stack like of cm7 or muiu. is there any chance to implement/use the cm7 bt stack with the stock rom?
cheers

Would be very nice indeed to have CM7 BT stack, I think its probably reasonably difficult, since nobody has done it yet. Hope I'm wrong!
since a couple of people showed their interest: push
I registered to find out whether i could do this. It's sad to see that nobody has answered this question...
It would be very difficult as the whole lot is tied in with the framework, you could just use touchwizz 4.5 which is a modified version of touchwizz to run on any rom, on cm7

I personally like in tochwiz not only how it looks bit also it's hardware video decoding capabilities, it's overall stability. I also want to play in emulators with Dualshock. Please developers implement CM7 bluetooth drivers in samsung rom.
I would like to have some Sony apps on my TF300T, and so i found some ported stuff: Walkman, Gallery, Video, and some other. Not everything works fine (there are some bugs). So, i'm trying to port apps from Xperia Tablet Z (some work out of the box, like Calculator).
This i'd like to port:
Media Apps:
Walkman
Album
Videos
Dlna
Organizer apps:
Alarm&Clock
Contacts
Email
Calendar
Notes
Xperia Home launcher works, and widgets too, but there are some bugs (FC when selecting walkman widget, FC if you try to select theme).
That's about it.
So if someone has experience with this, and willing to help, by doing some work or giving instructins, please help.
I took the xperia tablet z rom from here:

And i'm currently running Energy non themed rom.
+1. I would love to see this on our tablet too. There was a guy working on a Xperia ROM for our tablet but it never came out. I hope some developer can help us

You might find this link interesting. There is a link for small sony apps as well, I'm not sure which apps are included. Maybe the op could give you some insight.

Thanks for reply, i already tried this rom. But i had problems with wifi, and only small apps have been ported (i think). So, no go. We already have good base rom on my device, just need to port speceific apps. Opposite of other proprietary interfaces like touchwiz ot sense, i think that porting sony stuff only comes down to finding all dependencies of a specific app (no coding or smali editing). Is there any tool which can show what are the dependencies of some apk?

I had hoped the op of that thread could give you some insight.
I tried yesterday to port a weather widget from another rom without success. Even watching logs the entire time provided nothing useful. I have also failed to port a keyboard and browser successfully. I deoxed a complete rom in my most recent failed attempt. Everything ran fine on the donor unit but not where I wished to use them.
I'm sure there is such a tool. I'll do some searching and reply if I find anything useful.
Hey do you have finished the port?

No need for him to do this. You can get them from here. Though these are not from the tablet they work fine on the tf300t, I have them on mine with Chromi X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203
The movies app did not work from this so I installed a xperia Z movie app and it works perfectly...it's great for streaming from my home network...
The Movies app does not play MKV files with AC3 audio and I haven't got the visualizer app to work on the Walkman player either yet...
I have used the old Walkman logo rather than the circular one as that's the one I use on my old Sony phone (I think it looks better).
If I get a chance I will upload the files and some instructions on how to install them... (sorry I help look after an autistic toddler and I don't get much of a chance to jump on here)...

Samsung apps does not work on AOSP ROMs. You will have to use alternatives.

Do not tell, because why? And maybe there is some sort of video player animated preview app-like video list?
There are ups and downs to different types of roms.
TouchWiz: Laggy(yds), features u will miss when gg to aosp etc, camera, the apps by samsung
Aosp etc: Poor camera quality, the stock music player app is not good, however very fast and snappy, no lag at all.

on the lg p990 forum we had the same problems with cyano.
Someone ported part of the lg framework on AOSP and we were able to use the official lg's camera (extracted from ICS) on cm10, instead of the crappy aosp one.
No way we can do something similar with i9300?
sorry, but it's not about the pros cyanide, about samsung apps, frameworks and TouchWiz also have ports, so why not to port these two applications?
Hi,
I have one problem with AOSP roms and I consider this as the biggest one.
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300 running Stock 4.3 deodexed, zipaligned etc.
Now with this ROM I am able to play almost all types of video files...Why is this not possible with AOSP roms?
I have always seen people installing different types of Apps (MX Player, VLC Player etc. etc..) to get all the videos playing...
But TouchWiz plays almost all types of videos out of the box...As of now I don't have any third party video player installed on my phone...
I am a big fan of CM, but refrain from installing it just because of this one reason!
Can someone please explain this to me...would be great !!
And please correct me if i am wrong...
Thanks.
Touchwiz is a hugely bloated layer on top of Android, everything works so even beginners have a good experience. AOSP starts with just Android, then you add the parts you want -if you want video then add it. AOSP on a Samsung device isn't ideal for new users

Thanks for the answer but that's exactly what i want to know...
How can i enable support for all types of video files without installing numerous video players?
Are there any codecs which when installed on AOSP will do the magic??
Thanks
Some codecs aren't included in AOSP as they are not free. Same reason AOSP does not include gapps.
Hi
does anyone knows if the Z2 Tablet IR emitter is working or how to make it work?
Currently I wasn't able to find any IR App which is working on CM11.
Also I couldn't see any IR device in /dev...
I always thought IR is (quite) easy on linux and CM seems to support IR at all, so whats wrong?
Best,

It works Today I used the "Remote Control" app which comes stock. It was able to control my Hitachi HDTV and even my WD TV Live streaming media player. It has to be pointed at the devices of course, but it works. (My model # is SGP561)
I don't know if any other apps can use it though. Haven't really playeed around with it much.

Hmmm are you sure? My question was about IR on Cyanogenmod 11. I guess you are on stock ROM, right?
On stock ROM the Sony App is unbeatable in fact, but unfortunately it does not work on any customrom.

Oh, I see. I think I missed that. So are you missing the APK file, or are you missing the folder?
If it's the APK file: is there any way to extract a stock rom as an APK file? If so, I wouldn't mind extracting a copy for you so you can see if it works, but I only know how to extract APK files from the Play Store.
Otherwise, what if you tried just copying the missing folder over from a stock ROM?
Or maybe it's something that was lost with the DRM keys?
Oh, it's not the problem of an missing apk. I've backups of them, of course, but they would not work on custom roms. Since I like the freedom of CM more than the functionally of the stock Z2 Rom I use CM on all of my devices. But I'm always in hope that someone has a hint or even a solution on this issue of the Z2 tablet Android and CM has an IR API so it's a missing driver and Sony just released the kernel sources of the Zz2 so there is hope that someone has an idea...
Yeah, the only reason I'm not going for a custom rom is because the loss of DRM keys result in the loss of core functionality. I really hope that someone manages to figure out how to take all of those official apps and put them into a custom firmware where the DRM keys don't matter anymore.
Any updates on this? I have the exact same issue, a Z2 tablet with CM11 and I can't find any apps to work with the IR
Well, the z2 is quite old right now. I don't even think about it, sorry. Take an recent Sony ROM, root it and bebhappy with what you have... Beleive me, after some years being very disappointed with a WinCE phone from Sony I bought the Z2. It is quite good but next time I'll buy a Nexus.
