Anyway to get album/walkman/video apps from the Z2 to work on our phone?

I can have a look at some of the other apps, spent all yesterday trying to get the whole Sony 4.4.2 system to boot - needs more of a dev than I am

does the live wallpaper work on stock rooted 136 firmware?
i tried it on stock unrooted 136, just wondering if rooting stock firmware works

I believe that it will work, but rooting seems like a lot of effort just to get a live wallpaper to work

yea~ coz i saw on other sub forums that the live wallpaper doesnt work on stock rooted firmware though, hope somebody else could somehow make it work on stock 136 firmware on z ultra

I'll have to look into that, but I thought it was working on rooted z1
Off to work now so will have to wait to latter

I can't wait for the other port of Z2 apps ... keep it coming.

Guys
I searched the Sony Ericsson category in the new market app on my phone yesterday, and you can already install the new widgets and apps from the category. Just browse the category on your phone to get some of the new .368 apps :-D
I have also provided a link on the website to show you what's available. Thouh their might be some updates which are available in this post, and not on the market itself.
Both sources help
https://market.android.com/search?q=sony+ericsson&c=apps&feature=spelling
Life Contacts is available
Data Monitor
Various new timescape extentions
Live view
P.S.... @ShyamSasi hope you don't mind be posting this, did not see a point in a whole new thread, let me know if you want me to put elsewere...thanks

I haven't tested it myself since i'm using the new build. I would think the Home.apk, ThemeManager.apk and DefaultThemes.apk.

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.

[apps][gb][unroot][help] SemcMusic.apk for mini

here's the thing:
I have a st15i it's not rooted and with stock rom 2.3.4 .62 firm, months ago downloaded the "xperia S pack" stock apps from Xperiablog and installed the SemcMusic.apk like a normal app sucsesfully installed but it won't fit on my screen that's the only thing that sucks..... how is it that the app installed like a normal app without root??? I just don't know but it's fine for me.
here in xda there is this thread: "[MOD][APP][GB][MDPI]XPERIA-S Music Port"
I don't know if the app from here works since I'm not rooted and don't have the CWM thing,
Can anybody hepl me please?¿?¿?
PD the app i downloaded from xperiablog has this version: 4.0.A.0.27 if worths mencioning it
wrong section !!
The other music app should be the same as your first one. Your first didn't fit to your phone because it comes from a non mdpi device. The second one is ported to fit on our mdpi devices.
Normally most apks can be installed without root so nothing special. I don't know if the Sony music app requires root but I think not.

That should be perfect for you.

I totally overread that you havent rooted and unlocked the bootloader of your phone.
My advice is to unlock the bootloader of your phone. That will make things much easier for you.
You can flash a custom kernel for your phone which includes root and cwm.
Then you can install the xperia s music app via cwm.

thnks man but i searched that thread it's just installing via cwm recovery and I just want the apk files. I think the apps from that thread works for me but i can't install those
anyone got just the apk files?¿?¿? please:fingers-crossed:
Download the zip and extract the needed files manually. But you will need root for moving or replace the extracted files to your phones destination. You also need an app who can manage it.

?¿? I tried it but says aplication not installed,
I already have a file explorer, is really necesary being rooted?¿?, cuase when I installed the non mdpi musc app from xperia s it was fine just didn't fit in the screen.
and I'm actually usin a walkman app from live with walkman phone and Im not rooted
I want something like this but with the xperia s music app for mdpi devices
Yes you need root.
Android does not allow moving or replacing files on system folder without root rights.
Second, as i already wrote, not all file explorer give access to system folder. A file explorer how can managed this is root explorer. Root Explorer is not freeware so you have to buy or look after a cracked version.
If you look inside the zip file, there inside the system folder, you can see which files will be installed on your phone. Thats not less.

An easy way to get it is:
1. Get root to your phone
2. Install cwm to your phone so you can flash the zip from the thread.

I will translate vovanx500 instructions. It's pretty simple. Of course you should be rooted, I have locked bootloader and root at 14.5.A.0.270.270 firmware on C6833. It also work on GPE ROM too.
1. Update xzdualrecovery to the latest version. I was using 2.8.21.
2. Find file XZDR.prop somewhere on your device after installation/updating of xzdualrecovery. XZDualRecovery folder on SD Card.
2.1. Edit (or add) one string in this file: "dr.initd.active=true".
3. Goto system/etc and make folder named "init.d", set permissions 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) to this folder.
4. Find file install-recovery.sh under system/etc and set permissions 644 (-rw-r--r--) to this file.
4. Download Kcal.zip from first post in this topic.
5.1. Unpack two files from it. Put file "40kcal" into previous created folder init.d, and set permission 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) to this file.
5.2. Put file "mdss_mdp_kcal_ctrl.ko" into /system/lib/modules and set permissions 644 (-rw-r--r--) to this file.
5. Download savoca software Color Control and install it. You may want to convert this app to system using Titanium or some similar software, I didn't.
6. Reboot phone, start software from p. 5 and configure. You're set.
