That is because the scrolling cache color is not set to transparent. You can use Theme.Wallpaper for the theme it has transparent one. If not you can create a theme within the apk. on values/style.xml

This is what I did for Settings.apk

<style name="SettingsBackgroundTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme">

<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/settings_bg</item>

<item name="android:listViewStyle">@style/Settings.Widget.ListView</item>

<item name="android:listViewWhiteStyle">@style/Settings.Widget.ListView.White</item>

</style>

<style name="Settings.Widget.ListView" parent="@android:style/Widget.ListView">

<item name="android:cacheColorHint">#00000000</item>

</style>

<style name="Settings.Widget.ListView.White" parent="@android:style/Widget.ListView.White">

<item name="android:cacheColorHint">#00000000</item>

the id should be set in public.xml

<public type="style" name="Settings.Widget.ListView" id="0x7f0a000c" />

<public type="style" name="Settings.Widget.ListView.White" id="0x7f0a000d" />

I'm kind of busy now if you didn't get this please tell me ill explain you
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
so far as i understand it, u need to get semcphone apk working to be fully using this phonebook.

so now to port semc phone, u need to do atleast the following

port com.sonyericsson.appextensions jar from framework

port com.sonyericsson.appextensions xml from etc/permissions

then in androidd manifest xml of the app change the following...

min sdk from 9 to 8, so it becomes froyo installable.

change protectionlevel from ''3'' to ''dangerous''

why? so that app gets any damn permission it needs.

search for uses-shared-library and port all the required libraries fromm framework folder.

usually every framework jar used by an app has a corressponding xml in etc permissions.

why am i sayin, if i knw so much y dont i do it?

i dnt hv access to pc as of now :(

so if someone wants to try :)

happy modding

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Not at home atmo will try tonight, wont it be backwards compatable anyway as its coming from gingerbread, should still need to change manifest?

Was porting over fromt he ARC System dump, The 2.1 phonebook has too much facebook/timescape integration that would be a nightmare. S
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
Am talkin abt arc firmware too, coz i hv suffered the 2.1 nightmare Already.

N u do need to change min sdk value.

Coz bein compatible n installable r two diff things.

N m gonna get to work it too night

So lets see if we cn collaborate :)

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Hopefulyl itl work only letdown i nthe newer roms, got to say SE did improve the look of SMS/Phonebook quite well form stock android. I wasnt installing the APK i renamed it to Contacts and overwritten the app/contacts.apk from android worked strait up appart from the issues previous
[XPERIA X10 General] Wolfbreak:
myth999 get the Arc Phonebook to work on my 2.2 ROM. Im talkin to him in GTalk now we tested it it works but it doesnt change the Call Screen becouse Call Screen is located in SemcPhone.apk but that doesnt matter only 1 issue is there, theres a big Alarm Clock instead of the Arc Background, we found the image that should be there instead but when we add it to framework it freezes but now he is we are trying to change the source so we link the File to a other one and overwrite it with the BG.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Ok guys, I managed to fix the alarm clock thing. and fixed the force closing join contact.

Still we need to fix the scrolling bug. go3asy started this project when no one didn't really think it was possible (including me :(). So I think the whole credit should go to him for finding this.

So I take nothing :)

Here goes the xrec zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?b9e3e6fxlxsaw93
[XPERIA X10 General] Wolfbreak:
Very good. What image was it or what did you edit in the xml. I was too almost before fixing it with myth999 but i got to go becouse work. What Scrolling Bug?
[XPERIA X10 General] jakhan86:
i flashed the zip in xrecovery, for some reason my phonebook and phone dont display in app drawer. i checked /system/app and the apks for both contacts and phone are there. even tried installing from there. I get a "application not installed" error. am i doing something wrong here? :(
[XPERIA X10 General] jakhan86:
I think he means BG blacking out when scrolling...
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
APPLICATION NOT INSTALLED STRIKES AGAIN :)

how i love this error :P

ok try this, uninstall ur old phone book using titanium backup or a simple uninstall. then delete app from system/app folder.

reboot.

reinstall :)

it shld work.

if it still doesnt. get the logcat post it here

[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
hey wolf :)

i just noticed.

there was a button image inside the apk too :)

we need not have used an external source either.

the compile failed coz apktool had some errors :)

so not our fault :P

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] jakhan86:
lol.....i just put my fone to start the whole flash process again 30 secs before you posted :P

next up wolfbreak's rom and the steps that you recommended. will get back to u on this
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Fixed the scrolling issue. http://www.mediafire.com/?tigeetc9cctkfz9

I think application is not showing because of signing issues. @myth999 can you look in to this?
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
I put that button images to apk coz the apk is pointing to some images that are not available in our 2.2 framework semc... etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
the same problem :(
[XPERIA X10 General] jakhan86:
Didnt work :( pasting logcat below:
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Hey, I havene tbeen back home to try any more on this, looking good though. Il need to try it out tonight

Good work :)
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
guys try this one, install over the old phonebook (Alarm Clock on the background) with xRecovery
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
Hey akila signed it here

Hope it helps :)
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Thanks myth999. Can anybody try this one?
[XPERIA X10 General] Lockon Stratos:
I'm trying it now...
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Installed for me. Used the import contacts from memory card and managed to import my contacts from my 2.1 backup :)
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
Hey akila :)

Hope it works :)

Sorry for the delay.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lockon Stratos:
I'm still getting FCs when using the dialer to call and when I use the call log screen but the 2 alarm clocks are gone from the dialer. Contact list seems to be fine.

I tried to install it 2 ways, first I just browsed and ran the install from the sdcard. When that didn't work, I pulled and pushed the app but that didn't help either. Still getting FCs when calling out either through the dialer or the call log screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Im also getting force close when trying to call from the contact list
[XPERIA X10 General] Lockon Stratos:
Interesting....all of a sudden I lost service and no signal. I rebooted a couple of times but it didn't work so I decided to start putting things back the way they were.

Since I forgot to make a backup of contacts.apk & phone.apk :D:D:D (yeah I know that was wrong), I extracted CMUpdate 4.5.7, grabbed phone.apk from system/app then pushed that back to my phone. Service was restored but I wanted to make sure so I rebooted a couple of times, all was ok.

That got me curious so I looked back on my contact list and ran some test, presto!! I can make calls both from the dialer and from call logs without any FCs. Rebooted a couple of times again and it's still ok. Maybe pushing back phone.apk helped....or was I not suppose to pull that in the first place???? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
My service remains constant :\
[XPERIA X10 General] shvyue:
Tried the signedcontacts.apk, it worked nice till you dial the phone you get an FC.

(process com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook)
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
is the one posted by general working without fc?

signed contacts will be looked into by akila :)

coz i only signed it and nothing more :(

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
I confirm, it working without FC, try it. It only may have permissions issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
What kind of permission issues general? can you elaborate?? u mean the permissions changeable via root explorer, read write execute perms? or something else :)
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
yes, so it must be installed over the old phonebook application (which is with alarm clock background) without removing it
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Im back to my 2.1 backup at mo il get looking at this later whats the bugs left?

Next up SMS app and good to go lol. I got knowhere with the SMS app, t is just a modified version of the android one though so its perfectly possible. Would make a good complete ROM with these in, no need to go 3rd party app route for sms etc
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
My friend Zingaro found a bug, it was that the application in the akila's *.zip was signed as a system file, not as an application. He reviewed it, fixed a bug with buttons and correctly assembled it. Remains to fix the problem with the appointment of the photo to a contact. Install this via xRecovery.
[XPERIA X10 General] shvyue:
Is that possible for someone to give a detaied how-to-do to use the ARC dialer on the Wolf's 2.2. I've read from the post one and tried different ways but always got a FC when make or receive a phone call. Thanks.

EDIT: OK, I've made it work. What to do is: push the Phonebook.apk to system/app, not install, then uninstall the 2.2's contacts.apk
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Can you please tell me what was the bug with buttons. and thanks for pointing out the contact image issue. I'll look in to that :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Lockon Stratos:
I can confirm that general's zip worked perfectly. I redid the whole thing and it worked fine. I installed the signed contact apk first then flashed the zip and all is fine. SE contact list, no FC when calling from dialer or call log screen. Thanks for all the hard work to everyone.
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
I'm talking about this
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Did you take the apk that I uploaded for signing? Actually it was fixed on that apk. I thought there were more problem in buttons. :D

And we have a issue with contact picture and my google sync is not working, force closes (may be becz I restored some old contact list to check restore is working. Think that has screwed the sync)
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Getting an issue that I cannot join with Facebook contacts and also when u just press the name it is not going to an overview screen for that contact.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
SE phonebook uses infinite view for show contact details. so you need to have that one also. Sorry I actually didn't notice it until last night.
[XPERIA X10 General] General_Grant:
Yes, I downloaded that apk.:D No, there is no other problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
getting the semc contacts provider apk to work might help :)

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Got the newest phonebook apk working. But no background call log FC edit contact FC

EDIT well I think it can wait :D too much things to do :P and I think the apktool is not decoding those xmls correctly (I had that problem with the one available in the project page. Then I found a new one with without that issue, now I'm getting the same error in logcat for new phonebooka.apk)

So I think it is good to move in to SMS for now. bcz we have a (almost all) working ARC phonebook.
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
@akila

the original phonebook dsnt FC on contact edit

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
New phonebook? i mean retail dump.
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
oops sorry didnt check the retail dump. i get errors at decompiling most retail dump apps.

can u share the framework used by you to decompile?

Impossibility is a myth...
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
There are 2 apks in fw folder for retail rom. Put them both in the apktool folder (like we put one apk) rename as 1.apk and 2.apk then it'll work.
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Anyone managed to get the Facebook intergration working?
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
This works perfect even without xrecovery!! Sick!!

EDIT:Can't make outgoing calls :S

EDIT:DONT INSTALL THROUGH PACKAGE INSTALLER, OR YOU WONT MAKE OUTGOING CALLS!!!

EDIT: when in the contacts tab, if you press the "group" button at the top left the scrolling background is black... other than that its perfect!!

Still trying not to double post... but I have a serious question now, when are we going to see the mms.apk, I personally tried soooooo many ways that I know in my limited knowladge but it just WONT INSTALL!! But I know these things are timely, esp as a fellow theme maker I know patience is KEY, but devs please do know that your work is GREATLY appreciated. Just thought you should know :)

Sent from a pyramid in Canadada ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
UPDATE: FC in attaching picture is fixed.

Compile Mms.apk but still doesn't show up. I sent it to myth for signing.

Now looking in to scrolling bg in groups.

Please post if there any other issue except App not showing up (signing issue)
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Guys can any of you confirm facebook contact sync works in ported ARC roms.

It doesn't work in this app. and then when I'm searching the internet I found this

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/02/23/facebook-contacts-sync-in-violation-of-androids-tos/

So I want to know is it working in the original arc rom.

“We believe it is very important that users are able to control their data. So in the over-the-air update for Nexus S, we have a small change to how Facebook contacts appear on the device. For Nexus S users who downloaded the Facebook app from Android Market, Facebook contacts will no longer appear to be integrated with the Android Contacts app. Since Facebook contacts cannot be exported from the device, the appearance of integration created a false sense of data portability. Facebook contact data will continue to appear within the Facebook app. Like all developers on Android, Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data. We are removing the special-case handling of Facebook contacts on Nexus S and future lead devices. We continue to believe that reciprocity (the expectation that if information can be imported into a service it should be able to be exported) is an important step toward creating a world of true data liberation — and encourage other websites and app developers to allow users to export their contacts as well.”
[XPERIA X10 General] myth999:
@akila

Thnx for the info.

Now able to decompile retail dump files.

Let me knw if any app needs some help. Will try my best

Regards,

Myth
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
So it is there is some problem in the app. I'm trying to find a solution. Anybody knows about facebook contact permission things etc please update.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Fb works now. Lets try the background issue now :)
[XPERIA X10 General] shvyue:
I still sometime got the phonelog FC, any ideas? Most of the time it's working fine. I've installed signedcontacts.apk, then flashed the phonebook_ok.zip and timescape.apk. After that most of the things related to timesacpe were deleted but infraview, eventstream, phonelog were kept.
[XPERIA X10 General] Perets:
it was necessary to install one thing from this, not both
[XPERIA X10 General] Perets:
if you wish.. this is optional
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Would installing timescape.apk allow me to join contacts with facebook contacts?
[XPERIA X10 General] shvyue:
But you need the infraview from the timescape.zip anyway. If you want to show recent calls with a specific contact in infraview, you need something more from the timescape.zip, eg, the eventstream, phonelog, etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Perets:
for the current version i doubt. maybe someone could do it
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Would be a nice touch to have the join to FB contacts if anyone can get it working. Looking forward to the SMS app now.

Guys well done so far for the hard work. I'm just wondering if the infinite view icon can be changed to the stock phonebook one when u press a contact photo?
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
No it won't you need to have semccontactprovider.apk I just replaced the contactprovider.apk from it and it is working. I sent it to Wolfbreak but he is gettings FCs so it will take a little time to release it. But if you wish to test it then I can upload it.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
If you want to use stock phonebook view you have to have it. Then it will ask which app to use to show contact. make stock one default.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Fixed retail arc rom's home apk to work with 2.2 :)

The problem with retail rom is that they have used the newer SDK (GB SDK) to build the apps. Since we don't have some methods from it apps force closes due to

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError. I had to manually fix these errors. I'm still checkin if there are more errors.

So porting from retail rom will be much harder than this.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Retail home http://www.mediafire.com/?bsmwhv94tw4a2h4

Backup everything if you going to test it.

Some confirmed it is working but just in case ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
If you can upload it then would be good?
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
REMOVED

FC happens when you are using a language except English.
[XPERIA X10 General] Wilse:
Thanks, but I can only sync all my facebook conatcts, not sync the conatcts already in my contact list.

When I go into settings on the phonebook Accounts & Sync option is not ticked and I cannot tick it. I wonder if this is whats cause me not to sync??

Edit: I just tried with sync all in facebook and i can get an option to join with a facebook contact but none of the contact within my contact list's facebook accounts are showing
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Fixed the FC issue we had

Contacts_SE _FIXED.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?4xgfts5esbv80vz
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Just go to a contact and see whether facebook contact is there. If not clean application data. Then try to login again. Use the newest zip I put
[XPERIA X10 General] jingjonas:
this works with any 2.2 rom? using wolfbreak 4.4. the zip is the full flashable zip or is it the fix?
[XPERIA X10 General] Koloboк:
Thanks for the ARC contacts Akila!

It's great job, but now when I install new Wolf's rom, I got FC of infinityview and contacts, when I press to change contact.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
it may be a signature issue. go to application manage applications and check whether contact storage is there.
[XPERIA X10 General] Koloboк:
In system. I delete Timescape and contacts work now.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
May be a signing issue :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Koloboк:
Hi Akila!

I can't write in developer thread.

Here is log when send sms:

UPD: Work fine!

[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Thanks for the logcats Koloboк. I think I found the problem. You are using Russian as the phone language? and I'm also getting FCs when I select Russian with this mod.

First I got some with Spanish (not in infinite view but in phonebook and call log) and I fixed that issue. and some one confirmed it is working in German also. But I cannot find exactly which part is giving the problem. So I'm sorry it'll take time. Can you use English until then?
[XPERIA X10 General] Koloboк:
Thanks Akila! I will use English language until the correct.:)
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
oops now I used contact provider version that I posted last and it is working without a problem :(

can you try this method? or did you already try that? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12422358&postcount=4369
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Sometimes it is caused by the phonebook itself are you using wolfbreaks rom? Then try that now I don't get FC
[XPERIA X10 General] Koloboк:
Yes, I use Wolfbreak's rom, I install your fix, but sometimes have FC of infinityview, but all other functions work perfectly, now I try reinstall rom, maybe its help. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:

@akila87

really thanks for your great works on SE app...

Still I want to suggest that you could port SE 2.1 or 2.3 camera UI to custom rom.

that would be another great work, no doubt.

please consider and give your comments....
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
:p we'll see i'm kind of like that idea.

but you know it would be **very** hard
[XPERIA X10 General] Koloboк:
I test all variants to installing:

When i install rom>your fix>timescape without reboot, all work fine.

When rom>timescape>reboot>your fix, causes FC of infinityview.

Now all work properly!:)

Thanks for your help!
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
The problem, when you reload the previous apk is creating some files the if you flash the newest one then there is mismatch. anyway happy to hear it is working :)
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
whats the odds on porting stock SMS app from 2.1 or ARC?

Take it getting into contacts settings is a nono
