--THIS IS NOT MY WORK. ALL CREDIT GOES TO BLACKWATCH89 FOR GETTING THE FILES TOGETHER IN THIS THREAD. THIS IS JUST AN ACCUMALATION AND AN EASIER WAY OF MAKING IT WORK. --

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MESSES UP ON YOUR PHONE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!1!1!1111

THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR STOCK BASED ROMS- I.E STOCK 2.3.3, WOLFBREAK V6, POSSIBLY OTHERS BUT HAVE NOT TESTED ON OTHERS.

-This will add SE Home launcher, Media discovery, app discovery,world clock, calendar apps.

okay, here it goes. It's not as simple as it looks so PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

THINGS YOU'LL NEED

-Root explorer or equivalent

-Flashable zip with MOST files:DOWNLOAD HERE

-SEMCFacebookProxy.apk:DOWNLOAD HERE

-SE 2.3.4 Home launcher (all widgets work on this and you can share apps as well):DOWNLOAD HERE

INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE FOLLOW CAREFULLY AND DONT SKIP ANY STEPS.

1.REMOVE ALL FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS! I.E Remove Facebook inside xperia account and facebook sync account. Also, if you want to be extra safe, go to your facebook-privacy settings-apps and websites and REMOVE the facebook inside xperia option.

2.Download all files required, put zips and SEMCFacebookProxy.apk on SDCARD.

3.Flash FB02.zip using xrecovery. Flash 2.3.4 home launcher as well. Wipe dalvik cache.FIX PERMISSIONS (IMPORTANT).Reboot.

4.Install SEMCFacebookProxy.apk using some file explorer. It should install perfectly.

5.Login to facebook, choose sync settings. If everything worked properly you should get a facebook inside xperia message asking for permission options in notification bar.

6.Using root explorer, go to system/app and MOVE SEMCFacebookService.apk to sdcard. Reboot, then INSTALL the same SEMCFacebookService.apk from your sdcard. Reboot again. You might get another authorization notification but that's okay, everything should be working perfectly now.

Troubleshooting

1.If you don't get a prompt asking you to authorize Facebook inside Xperia, REMOVE your facebook sync and FIX sync. Then, relogin into facebook, choose sync options, it should come up.

2.Sharing apps MIGHT not work on new 2.3.4 Home launcher. It might work for you but it's no guarantee. It didn't work for me, but did wrok for others. One thing you can try if it isn't working is to UNINSTALL 2.3.4 launcher by deleting home.apk from system/app (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER!) and reflash it!

3.If you get connection problems with media discovery, try fixing permissions using xrecovery

Have fun!

---Double post--, sorry!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CAYCE_VII:
sharing apps does too work...see below
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kantk20111:
That's great :). For me, it doesn't, so as I said it could vary depending on person ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CAYCE_VII:
are you on WB v6?

the apk's that i installed are

FBIAppShare.apk

FBMediaDiscovery.apk

PostViewer.apk

SEMCFacebookProxy.apk

and I think that't it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kantk20111:
Yes, I am.

What's PostViewer.apk? I didn't install that. What does it do?

Can you please link it to me? Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CAYCE_VII:
try that and it should work, there's no difference in our ROM's the only difference is mine is an X10a but that shouldn't matter.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] oalf170892:
Hey mate, nice work... But your flashable .zip file is builded without system carpet... so it will give error when trying to flash... so if you can fix it...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kantk20111:
Thanks for that apk, it's didn't fix the sharing problem but it is an important one so we can see media discovery posts....I'm adding that to the flashable zip right now :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kantk20111:
Nope, it doesn't need a system folder, it'll install it directly inside :)

edit:zip updated...added another APK that is essential for media discovery widget
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] oalf170892:
Ok, just saying coz it happened to me... And after adding the system carpet, it flashed the .zip...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CAYCE_VII:
I also installed mine OVER my existing SEMC Facebook apps just by clicking the .apk and replacing. try different things, see if you can get it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kantk20111:
oh...so all you did was make a system folder and put all the other things in that?

That's weird...it should work.

EDIT:Yeah, it aborted! That's really weird...I'm reuploading a fixed one.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] oalf170892:
Mjm, thats all I did... Before that it keep saying unable to open...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kantk20111:
Zip updated, it should install fine now hopefully....someone please check because my phone just died.

Right this will be the last time I explain this. Facebook and facebook inside Xperia are 2 different things. The app is 1.7.x the inside Xperia is 2.0 so that is why it says facebook app is 1.7.x

Does this explain it for the third time.

Mediadiscovery "can´t download"

The problem that many of us are facing with the mediadiscovery ( friends videos and music shares ) where it doesn´t doesn´t content cannot be fixed by FIXING PERMISSIONS VIA XRECOVERY. I have tried this a thousand times and I keep getting the same message on trying to update, it says "IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD"

FIXING PERMISSIONS VIA XRECOVERY DOESN´T CHANGE A THING FOR THIS PROBLEM.

I have already posted here and on Smurf´s as well as on VMCMS´s threads that after restoring to my 2.3.3 rom, my FBMediadiscovery is back to normal and checking the app permissions through APP MANAGER, it has permissions for MY ACCOUNTS what is not present in the FB2.0 version.

Guys, I have tried to install FB20 from 3 diferent threads, in none of them, everything worked just fine EXCEPT Mediadiscovery and in its permissions, THERE WERE NO PERMISSIONS FOR MY ACCOUNTS, ONLY INTERNET ACCESS AND STRAGE.

Please, could someone pay attention to this important detail???

Why in 2.3.3 version of FBinsideXperia, the Mediadiscovery has PERMISSIONS FOR MY ACCOUNTS and in 2.3.4 IT HASN´T!

I would appreciate if someone with expertise could check on this.

Thanks.

"I solved my connection error problem installing "Arquivos Arc.zip", wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions. After reboot used the new setup guide and now it's all working just fine."

Please, can anyone tell me where I can get this "Arquivos Arc.zip" so that I can try to solve my connection problems with Mediadiscovery?

More:

VMCMS,

What is this intended to be?

I think the reason why somebody get things to work and somebody else not is because we mixed different dump filesystems... My test showed this is the reason why my keyboard didnt work and the reason why some of you get the connection fail in FB!

we need to use one filesystem for everything from 2.3.4

LT18i_2.3.4_Build_4.0.1.A.0.266 solved the conection problem

Could you explain how to solve our connections poblems with this?

Thanks a lot!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
Right well his theory is wrong. I used that dump file and in my phone a couple that was already on there. So there one of two thing. Somehow the arcs files got into my phone before ii added these. Or. The files already in my phone are from a different phone all together. And I mixed. I think it's all down to the phone
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lclaudiogb:
Arquivos Arc.zip???

Please, if someone can help!

Someone here said that he solved his connection problems with mediadiscovery by installing Arquivos Arc.zip.

Does anybody here know where I can find this zip?

I´ve been through this issue some many times, explaining that despite all my attempts to install FB2.0 from all the threads, I TESTED ALL, I just can´t get the app FRIENDS VIDEO AND MUSIC SHARE ( MEDIADISCOVERY ) TO WORK. The app keeps giving the message "IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD". The weird thing is that the app is downloading only my video shares, PLEASE IS THAT CLEAR?

What could be the problem? The app downloads my video but no videos shared by friends.

As I also have said, I restored my phone to Stock 2.3.3 Facebook inside Xperia and the app works perfectly ( I MEAN MEDIADISCOVERY). My X10 is on Stock SE ROM, no changes.

IMPORTANT IF SOMEONE MAY HELP: 3rd time

When I check this app in the app manager, my actual 2.3.3 Mediadiscovery has got PERMISSIONS FOR MY ACCOUNTS.

When I install WHATEVER zip from these threads, THE 2.3.4 Mediadiscovery DOESN´T SHOW TO HAVE PERMISSIONS FOR MY ACCOUNTS.

Isn´t that strange?

Why 2.3.3 version of FB inside Xperia Mediadiscovery needs permisisons for accounts and in FB2.0 IT DOESN´T???

I think I was clear this time cause, Guys, I really wanted FB2.0 installed and fully working, despite the known bug with Timescape really, really laggy.

PLEASE NEED HELP!!!

Thank you all for your great work.

i cant install semcfacebookproxy.apk

plz help.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Barzobius:
First locate the one installed, might be on /app/data as com.sonyericsson.facebook.proxylogin-1.apk and make a backup of it just in case, then delete it from /app/data and then try installing it.

If it does not works, make sure you reinstall the backup.

Good luck.

It's in system/app and it will be called semcfacebookservices.apk AMD yea make a backup before replacing

Mediadiscovery X Permissions

FYI:

Blackwatch89,

Continuing to try to find the problem with Mediadiscovery, I decided to restore a backup and now back to my Stock 2.3.3 version of Facebook inside Xperia, I just checked the app ( FRIENDS VIDEOS AND MUSIC APP - MEDIADISCOVERY ) with AppXplorer and there is a difference in permissions between versions 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 concerning MANAGE ACCOUNTS AND SERVICES.

PLEASE CHECK BELOW.

In my Mediadiscovery on Stock SE 2.3.3:

Permissions:

android.permission.INTERNET

android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

com.sonyericsson.facebook.permission.AUTHORISE_SER VICE ( NOT PRESENT IN APP PERMISSION IN FB2.0 )

android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS ( NOT PRESENT IN APP PERMISSION IN FB2.0 )

android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

Just for a fast check, here again the permissions for the same app in FB2.0 verified with AppXplorer:

Friends video and music app:

android.permission.INTENET

com.sonyericsson.permission.FACEBOOK

android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

I hope this can mean something important to solve our problem with the app, which is a great one and a pity not having it working fully.

Thanks!

Mediadiscovery X Permissions

Hi, everybody!

I´m still having problems with connection in mediadiscovery app after zipping these ports of FB2.3.4. I´ve tried different zips from diffeerent threads here and in none of them I have this app loading FRIENDS VIDEOS AND MUSIC SHARE. It only downloads the videos shared by me via Youtube, quite weird!

I read somewhere here that after installing Arquivos Arc.zip, the problems were solved.

DOES ANYBODY HERE KNOW HOW I CAN GET THIS FILE, AequivosArc.zip?

Thanks a lot!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] negrobembon:
Dude, try this i had the same prob for a while(not downloading friends vids) and this worked

1.go to settings,apps, choose mediadiscovery and select uninstall updates

2. Load the app, should be the old version now

3.refresh, should load friends vids now

4.use a file manager and choose the new 2.3.4 mediadiscovery apk

5. Install it(it says to update)

6.ask a friend to add a youtube link

7.with the new version, refresh, should work now

I dont know if this helps you or anyone but it did work for me
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lclaudiogb:
Hi, Dude, thanks for the tip but for me, in my device, FBMediadiscovery 2.3.4 doesn´t work.

I decided to downgrade to FBMediadiscovery 1.0.3 from Stock version 2.3.3, AND LUCKLY FOR ME, IT WORKS. It´s not so cool as the 2.3.4 version but at least I can see friends videos shares as well as mine. With the 2.3.4, I could only get it to download my youtube videos shares.

Gameandapps doesn´t work either!

Cheers!

Quiting Port 2.3.4!

Quiting Port 2.3.4!

I´m definitely quiting the attempt to use these ports of FB2.3.4 on my X10 cause some apps really doesn´t work such as Mediadiscovery and gameandapps but still I wanted to keep that feature of Timescape where you hit a timescape post and you are directed to the new viewer AND NOT TO FB APP. I think it´s very cool this feature but without other things working, no way to keep port on my phone.

Please, if some of you know how or if it´s possible to have that feature in Stock 2.3.3, please let me know.

By the way, which app is responsible to make post in Timescape open in the new viewer instead of FB app?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] negrobembon:
Post viewer
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lclaudiogb:

Postviewer, OK! But how to install it on X10 with 2.3.3? I tried once and it says APP NOT INSTALLED!

Tks.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lclaudiogb:
New Timescape on X10!

Can someone tell me if I can have only the New Timescape working on my X10, the one which shows the facebook posts in the new tab and not in the FB normal app.

If I could install only this feature, everything would be OK for me cause tried too many times installing PORTS but Mediadiscovery of FB2.0 doesn´t work for me and better stay with the one I have from Stock 2.3.3, working great, not too many diffrerences.

Thanks!

Kantk20111,

Thanks for your reply but I´ve decided I won´t install any zips related to FB2.0 as the new Mediadiscovery and game/apps share don´t work for me. But can you tell me if I can "port", I mean, install only the new Timescape cause its new features I find very cool.

Would it be possible to install only the new Timescape on my X10 running Stock 2.3.3?

Appreciate if you can help!

Mainly hoping my mate sends me one of the prototypes from SE themselves. The play that is. I'm trying to get into there prototype testers group where they give a selected handful of people one if there devices and they test it.

Mediadiscovery X Permissions

The issue many of us have been facing with the app FRIENDS MUSIC AND VIDEOS ( NEW MEDIADISCOVERY ) haas proved to be a global issue. No matter it is installed through PORTS or within Roms, the error "IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD" persists and has been discussed not only here on XDA forums but on other SE forums as well.

From SE support forums: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/122000

Re: issue media discovery

Hi Markus,

I am also facing the exact same problem after the latest update to android 2.3.4 build number 4.0.2.A.0.42 . I can confirm that the media discovery app was indeed working properly prior to the update.

I found out after some googling that the "facebook account permissions" are missing from the latest version of 'Friends Music & Videos' a.k.a media discovery. Could you please confirm whether this is actually the case ? Also please let me know whether any new updates are planned for Xperia Neo in the near future. Thanks !
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
Well there wrong. It's not global. I am using it all the time and I have just gone into it and it loads fine without any permissions. So it can't be what you are saying about permissions. It loads for me so how does that work out.

Hate to say it but it must just be you guys doing something wrong. :D

Regards

Blackwatch

EDIT: Just gone onto my x10 and used the one I ported and it still works. So I can't see it being over permissions. As mine are ports from the 4.0.2.A.0.48 and .58 fw. And it still is fine. I think if you mix files then it breaks but keep it from the the same fw/device and it is fine. Also the only thing I keep getting is when I want to share an app I get connection error but if I reboot it works again.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] hhlong89:
I didn't see the "SEMCFacebookService.apk" on my phone with Root Explore, i'm on WB 06 and used the "2.3.4 apps" package from smurf!

And one more question, does Facebook inside Xperia always run on your Noctural ROM ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lclaudiogb:
Blackwatch, I"m sorry but I must say that the app works fine for a few but many people face the same problem and I really don't see your point saying we are mixing things, I'm not and how would I do this?

My X10 is running Stock GB 2.3.3, nothing added different from the original Stock rom, again, Mediadiscovery of FIX 1.0 working fine.

Then I and others install a Port, yours for example, or Smurf's or Kantk, or even just your Rom, as I just dos, and the new app doesn't work. So, what am I mixing?

I think if there are files mixed, these files are coming mixed already in the ports and roms.

As I posted, I found people on SE support forum that upgraded their Arc, Neo and Pro, all original roms, to 2.3.4 and are having the same problem.

When I say it might be a global issue, I don't mean it's happenning to everyone but that it's happenning to different people all over the world. You, luckly, don't have the problem but we are and I do believe it is not due to mixing files.

When I downloaded your PORT, I installed only what came with it and nothing more.

When I installed your Rom, it was only that.

Thanks anyway!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
Yes it does. I tested it this morning. When I first saw this. Thats why I'm really confused with the permissions side of things as I use the one from the.fw that people are saying ita not working
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] neerajk:
Will this work on cm7 fxp047?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
Sorry if I sounded rude but I am confused. I don't think it is permissions as I use the same. At the beginning people were mixing files from different phones which was causing many problems but then I got my ray and just used them and it worked fine. Weird. Some it works and some it don't. I think part of it may be to do with fb themselves too. Like the time the fb music like button disappears. That is fb themselves. Now that was global hehe. Everyone lost that button on every device AMD then all of a sudden it returned. Maybe fb is having problems with some accounts. I will look into this further for you guys and let you know what I find. ;).
