Hi

cause I need arabic language support like my orginal 4.0.3 ICS does!

thanks alot mate !
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faiz5200:
Warranty will void only if unlocking bootloader. Rooting not void warranty.

Here you can learn how to upgrade to ICS

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330314

Here you can search for custom rom, so far JJHybrid and MooDeD rom are good for me.

Hi!

I used the method posted in this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034087

And i have a issue on my phone, don't know if i miss any step while rooting it...

I can install apps with superuser access granted, but, for example, i can't mod my phone... I have already tried to change some files with RootExplorer to change things like status bar, but i reboot my phone and it's everything the same...

If i trie to copy any file to phone memory, it sais "file successeful copied", but the file does not appears to be there... :s
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vblongtodc:
yes...

why do you want to gain warranty back?

those companies usually wont help you much

yes,if you lock it again you will gain your warranty again,and remember unroot it too,you can do it with su:rolleyes:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RippeR37:
Hey,

I recently saw somewhere (on XDA) post that PS Vita has similiar hardware as smartphones that are coming pretty much now (SGS III, powerd by Tegra3 etc.). So is there a possibility for making such emulator? I know that it won't provide similiar gameplay as with hardware buttons on PSV but some games propably would still be playable without them (or with less) like racing games etc.)

I'm just asking for technical side of this task and if there is someone who plans to try and make one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AudioCreaper:
impossible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DnaPolymerase:
Probably in 30 years or so, if you want my honest guess.

And not on a smartphone but on a home pc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Callister:
I guess for now still impossible to do. Even PS1 emulator on android is still not perfect enough to play all PS1 game.

So, still long way to make PS Vita emulator on android :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzboy:
Agreed.

I have a hard time getting my Atari ST emulator to run. ;)

Cheers.!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RippeR37:
Yep, i was more like porting Vita systems to android or something then emulator but if it's still impossible, thats ok ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inaudibly:
Would be pretty much impossible considering that the vita is almost as powerful as the ps3 - (already has more ram)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
vita isnt even close to PS3

GS3 has pretty much same vital specs and has more ram than vita
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inaudibly:
No it isn't you have to understand that processors in a phone are not close to having the same power as a dedicated games device. The vita has a quad core processor and another quad core for the graphics

It has 512mb of ram and another 128mb vram this is much more than the ps3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
sorry i misread though it was a normal SGX543
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johrie:
And a psp emulator?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzboy:
Its the same situation. Because it uses dedicated hardware.

Even the Nintendo DS emulator lags on high end Smart phones

Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
it generally takes YEARS for an emulator to be developed for a console and the first place it will appear is on a PC.

Besides, can you imagine trying to cram all the controls for a Vita onto one touchscreen? Yeesh....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackf0rce:
I know this is an old thread but it has also copped a lot of wrong answers.

To all of those people saying that it's impossible and that PS1 emulators have barely been perfected and blah blah blah. I will say this now: The PS1 has a completely different architecture to any Android phone/tablet (apart from MIPS ones, which are very rare.) The Vita on the other hand has a CPU with an ARM architecture, which nearly all Android devices have, the Vita itself needs to be hacked for all of the API's and the OS to be emulated but that will probably be the hardest part (apart from emulating the Graphics chip and other complex hardware.) It should be a similar task to emulating Windows programs on Linux and Mac with Wine, or emulating different x86 OSes on x86 hardware, this is also the reason that I think iOS can be emulated but nobody wants to do it because Apple will find a reason to sue them (a reason why I have never bought an Apple product and hopefully never will.)

The message here is to be an optimist, never say impossible and good things will follow, possibly in the form of a Vita emulator on Android or an iOS emulator.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssgoku129:
Yeah Seriously

lol 30 years, honestly you can expect an emulator within 10 years of the system release date, if we had dedicated users, I'm sure it get could quicker but it's not "impossible" as PPSSPP, a PSP emulator was recently released on the google store, which runs games PERFECTLY on PC or Mac, it's pretty laggy on my S3-i747m but what games you would expect to run nicely do, of course.

I'm sure newer phones run it smoothly but PSVita games will probably be emulated when the "hype" dies out...

So basically if your asking, can i screw mobile gaming and just buy a phone and bootleg the systems and possibly even play with friends? No.

Can you expect to relive your classics games after you've played them on a legit PSVita in 5-10 years on your Samsung S9 with 16core graphics? Yeah most likely depending on how laws go with the GNU/OSI and how pissed off company's get that they're old ass systems get emulated.

At-least that has been the trend since Atari :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EcHoFiiVe:
There's a PSP emulator that's called PPSSPP
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XsceneXhippieX:
If I can run kingdom hearts birth by sleep flawlessly on my Nexus 4 then vita emulation sounds very probable in the next couple of years
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloko4i:
Actually Vita is 3 cores away from PS3 but similar ;D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
That dont mean anything a lot more involved than just core count
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaynefox:
ps vita emulation is possible but i think it will only run on high end phones...also ps vita is already jailbreakable but not as perfect as psp....

I bought there roam control app to use on my electrify(rebadged photon) only the home works. force roam just goes to auto. I guess when I got it, thought it worked cuz the towers were good that night andi stayed roaming on vzw towers. is there an app to force roam on u.s. cellular?..... if someone pulled this off I Witold repay for the app!
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
I always thought you could only roam on a carrier that your provider pays for.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
yes, u r correct. I roam off verizon towers most of the time, but sometimes I get a wiff of us cellular tower signal, then I go from full service and 3g at -79db to 1x and no bars at -119db
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
There are no apps. The best thing you can probably do is change your PRL.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
my owl is up to date. my home network(us cellular) sucks and roaming is perfect
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
it has nothing to do with it being up to date. i'm telling you that you need to change your prl. not update but manually change it to a verizon one or something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
no idea how to do that. tried looking online.... I talked to a guy over the phone that helped me get in and change the prl.... I even wrote it down but that was when I first got this phone...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Forced roaming on specific carriers sounds like a cool idea.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
I want to make my u.s. cellular device stay on verizon towers when I'm home or I have no signal.... 1x and no bars @ -119db then when it finally switches to roaming... on vzw towers 3g, full bars at -79 db
[Motorola Photon 4G] dtr145r:
so does the app roam control work on us cellular??

im thinking about switching but i want to make sure a few things work first..

Hi all,

I had several games downloaded from Google Play which I then moved from my Arc S to my SD card. Yesterday, I upgraded to ICS which wiped the phone. I made no other backups other than what was previously on the SD card when I moved the apps in the first place.

Is there a way to restore these games and their save files?

With thanks in advance!

schnide
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Unless you made a backup with Titanium Backup, I doubt you'll be able to retrieve your save state.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Awww..

Assuming I get rooted, could I not make a backup of the files on the SD card, reinstall the app, then copy the old files back over the top?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ThilinaC:
Nice work,can you share that sense looking wallpaper you are using? :)

btw I think you should give credits for iridaki for kb & me for music widget,dialer :p

btw are these scripts usable on phones other than arc/arc s ?

Waiting for upload....

Your defaultthemes.apk is awesome.

It's my own wallpaper, using indeed main Sense colors,

you can find some here : http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/graphicsbyadc.html

The keyboard comes with the pack of the 11in1 Mod.

And the music players comes directly from DooMLoRD.

And other files are coming from Xperia S ROMs that I did decompile.

Sorry, I know you've done a lot on your side, but I didn't use it..

Thanks !

Soon, I just have to finish some little things.

mmm so do you have an ics xperia s system dump ? if not you cannot have that music widget unless you made it yourself :p cos doomlord never released the music widget in walkman player :D in my theme pack I themed stock one to look like the one in leaked video

also nice wallpapers u got mate :)

http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com...yAdrianDC/BokehByAdrianDC-RunnymedeColor6.png

can you give this wallpaper without the credits text in the middle ? or can you move credits text to a corner ? :)

also if can please add it to a rar and attach it here? :) for me it always get cancelled around 300-400kb when downloading :/

I downloaded you pack to check, indeed the widget is your modded one.

Sorry, didn't know about it, I'll add the credits, don't worry.

Will also send you my wallpaper by PM.

Thanks for the infos.

Done! CustomChanges v9 is online, enjoy !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] LargoWinch38:
In one word : simple, fast, cool ! Very interresting features added easily.

This is a way of installing many mods with a max of security. I've tested the V9 yesterday night : backup/restore included, many choices for installing (or not) various mods.

I've read a lot of post on XDA about Mods, but I was a bit affraid to install them (I have my first android phone since few weeks).

With the script, no more problem, everything is updated, everything can be uninstalled, with 1 script. And each mod is tested by Adrian DC, so no risk :D

It's better to have a recent recovery, in case of problem (I've had a bootloop because of a bad rooting. Thank you CWM ! ).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Ahah fantastic, thanks for the review :D

Largo is one of my favorite testers on PhonAndroid,

he got all versions before releases ;)

If someone does try the Xperia S Music Player, please tell me if it worked,

because that's the only thing I can't get working on Android 4.0.4.... Thanks.

EDIT : I'm working on my new DefaultThemesCustomizer project,

will let you know, I think it'll take me a lot of time xD, already 2 hours..

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
I'm downloading it right now but how to install it? I have everything you said necessary (busybox and script manager) but I still dont get it how to run it! Please help and sorry for my noobness!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
If you're downloading right now, you still didn't see that in the main 'changes' folder,

there is a 'CustomChangesMenu.sh' script, which you have to run like said in the 1. post.

Keep me up, don't hesitate to ask questions.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
But I'm downloading it to my phone...or should it be on my computer???
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Read the last line of the introduction.

On SdCard. Recommended path in first post

My next project for this will be a DefaultSettings.apk automatic customizer,

in a way the same idea of a similar thing I did for the LG Viewty.

Will see..

Would it bother you to do it on Windows or are there some people here with Linux?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
Ran the script, chose the options I wanted but the got a boot loop. Had to do a cwm restore. On 4.0.4!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
What choices did you do?

Did you install the NXT Transformation Pack before, as said in your signature?

I can't promise both will work together...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
Yes I did! Perhaps that was the problem! :S
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Unfortunately if you want to remove it,

the only way would be to restore a backup or reinstall ICS...

Sorry..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
I've restored through cwm but now the wi fi seems to be really slow! Weird! :D

I'll do a restore on SEUS and then I'll give another go! Don't need to apologize! Thanks for your work! :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Ok, thanks.

On my side, I just repaired my phone to official 4.0.4 with PC Companion,

rooted it, and reinstalling everything, to be as a new users.

Version 10 will provide some good improvements,

and more importantly a new fixed v14 of my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh,

because something was wrong with the restoring process...

If you can, I'd recommend restoring a backup with CWM

and then reinstall the v10 to be sure your backup folder is correct.

Know that such a thing will never happen again with newer versions.

If you can't, pm with a list of all empty (0 Bytes) files in /sdcard/custom/backups/...

I'll send you back the original files that you should have on 4.0.4 backups.

Last version, v10 of CustomChanges?

Using a correct version of busybox, correctly rooted ?

Can't get any error with all the tests I've done,

and it's the same thing with various users..

Sorry.. Hope it'll get better.

Version 11 will now log the complete script output to a CustomChangesMenuLogs.txt

the logs of the script if anything went wrong.

I've been asked by some users using private messages to build a flashable zip.

As I already said and explained, my goal is and always was to give each user

the possibility to choose what he wants to install, and not impose

some applications chosen by me, without any concern to the user's experience.

As it's already been installed some many times, on both french and internationnal forums,

I'd like to thank each user who contacted me joyfully by PM or EMails on my website.

No news for the changes so far, it's all working perfectly for the moment,

and I didn't test something that was worth adding to the pack for the moment..

Oh and I didn't add the list of applications that I did remove without any problems ^^.
