The last released v22 pack of CustomChanges will be the very last for SONY .431 Stock ROM.

The v23, which I'm working on since 3 days, is getting really nice now, and will be for the new SONY .587 ROM.

The script will check for Odexed files and advise to Deodex the frameworks, directly in the script,

V6SuperCharger also is directly implented in it, in a much better way than previously.

The new Comparison functionnalities of AndroidFilesInstaller.sh v23 allows to list of changed files,

and made me win 13 MB of unnecessary modded files in the pack.

By deodexing, I'll allow an automatic services patch by V6SuperCharger, which works great.

Something I'm working on will also verify V6SuperCharger modded files still are there, not replaced by others.

In that case, if uncomplete, the script will advise to relaunch V6SuperCharger.

If missing a recent CWM backup, x-Parts will be directly opened in the Google Play and the script won't proceed further.

The Xperia S Lockscreen has been fully updated and reimplemented, thanks to the help of AeonWorld.

A new busybox feature is in my mind but still needs to be coded..

EDIT : Busybox feature done, I'll request a stable version to proceed.

It's completly detailed so no worries !

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
V23 Released !

Have fun ! Because I did :D !

EDIT : Moved to v24...

CustomChanges v24 by Adrian DC : http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/ics_customchanges.html

Just updated from v23 to v24, little fixes and improvements in the script.

I am waiting for feedbacks, got very positive ones from friends by EMail !

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
The version v25 includes the new framework-res.apk I worked on, for both XS Lockscreen (without..) and Xperia ICS Lockscreen (with screen rotation), and also some updated apps.

My XperiaHomeManager.sh script is now implemented in the CustomChanges.

Someone asked me if the pack was just a script, the answer is no xD, the 120~130 Mb include the applications and mods I found to be the best or made myself, the direct implementation of V6SuperCharger, Frameworks Deodexing, CWM Backups verifications, busybox, etc. and more importantly the big CustomChangesMenu.sh script, interface between the installations and you, where you'll choose what you want to install from the various choices. All this with secured backups and securities to avoid surprises ;D.

'night!

> Xperia Arc S.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] thivi:
I'm surprised there is not much traffic on this thread, because those CustomChanges are awesome!

And installation is really cool : with those sh scripts, you are guided through the whole process, you just have to answer some questions and choose what you want.

At the end, you have all the cool and working features : V6 SuperCharger, tweaks, interfaces improvements, Xperia S apps, etc.

Thanks Adrian for all this impressive work!

Cheers,

Thivi (aka Livith on Phonandroid)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks ^^ !

Indeed, the XDA reaction on my CustomChanges are pretty slim,

whereas on our french PhonAndroid forum, the success is pretty good.

I'm very glad you like it !

(Damn, didn't read it up to the end... Hey :D !)

Bye ;D !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] 1stichiban:
hi Adrian DC.

This looks interesting :) Will try it out (soon) on my Pro. Hope it works.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dedei:
Will this work on Xperia S?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Mostly it shouldn't sorry.

However, having a backup before, you can install only parts of it,

since the idea of my script is to let you choose what to install.

Therefore, you might be able to install all applications but don't install the frameworks.

More to that, refuse the frameworks deodexing at the beginning of CustomChanges.

Let me know !

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dinoCRO:
Man, I love your stuff. Will it work on Xperia P 6.1.B.544? Sorry if I'm boring but I want to be sure. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks.

No idea, same thing as for Xperia S, please refer to my previous post.

Let me know too !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
CustomChanges v26 Available !

Mainly, the changes are the updated applications from the Xperia T.

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Hey !

Some users asked me what was going on with my CustomChanges..

Given the fact that only a few users wanted to try it, using SManager,

I'm announcing the CustomChanges pack to be stopped.

I am working on a new project, very similar but based on Aroma Installer

and with a new version of my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh expecially made for Aroma,

making me possible to do everything I ever wished to ^^.

XperiaChanges v3.0 actually, is a work in progress and already works pretty good after 2 days of recreation.

Those willing to test it shall get a beta through Private message only.

Bye !!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zolaisugly:
Damm I only just used this and found it very useful, and easy to use, wish you well with future project hope it works as well as this.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks glad you liked it!

The result is quite good now, but I still need to work on the AndroidFilesInstaller v24, have to make it compatible with the basic shell from Aroma...

> Sony Xperia™ Arc S.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Please don't abandon smanager version.

It's more convenient to use it while machine is working then in recovery mode. Even if I need to reboot later.

Also a proposal. In 587 fw there is perfect busybox already available.

I used adb shell to install it. Then bypassed starting script and used deodexer and supercharger. Work like a swiss clock. Check screen shots.

Reason why this busybox is better then one you proposed is that stock one is full. One that get installed is a criple version.

Kind Regards, vr
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks for the kind words but I still remain on my idea.

Too less people came over the fear and the understanding of using SManager with an extended and securised script,

whereas they like to use flashable zip that are destroying their original files and replacing them without information...

Well, my goal is to merge the best of Flashable zip and Aroma with my AndroidFilesInstaller updated version script.

I promise the result is fantastic, you can get a test version as soon as I have a fully working one.

I'll see for the busybox thing, already though of including it and SU into it, but not a priority..

And I should get back working on my Android Application, but time isn't to sell in the nearest shop sadly... ^^.

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Please, PM me when ready.

Kind Regards, vr
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] r4mirez:
I have exactly same error, except busybox is version 1.20.2
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Could you try an other version of busybox, using BusyBox installer?

Because this can be caused by a faulty or incomplete busybox...

Also make sure the file installation parameter (between [...]) is correct.

XperiaChanges still is on a very slow progression, I have a lot of other things to do at the same time...

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] maqninou:

Same issue here :(. Any idea? thanks!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Hi !

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been really busy and still am....

The Xperia Changes project didn't improve since a month,

because I kinda gave it a bit up because of absurd Edify bugs...

When I have time, I'll try to make it work and update it,

indeed, my phone works only at 80%, I didn't take the time

to finish testing the new Sony stuff and some are broken :D.

For the busybox problem, apart rerooting the phone and

checking the installed busybox version, I can't tell.....

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
The XperiaChanges project might be back on, I finally got the pack working again and

the CWM version of my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh works fine again !

Now I have to get all mods updated and added...

Is anyone out there experiencing wifi problems when upgrading to ICS? My XMP is having trouble connecting to my router it only says authenticating and stucks on that :(

Tried changing to WEP, WPA 2 still no luck. And tried to reflash fw via SUS its still not working :( HELP ME :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muralikrishna72003:
Hi Wifi conncectivity problems occur becuase of the kerenl you are using with ics rom. Please check by flashing other kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feb289:
Im using stock kernel, from .58 then upgraded to .62 FW then ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Telemuddi:
I have no problems. I wiped with SUS the whole data before upgrading.

Kernel is extended stock on my sk17.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feb289:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Do a factory rest and see. If it doesn't work, back up your data and repair your phone software using PCC or SUS. Or you can flash the ICS ftf with a full wipe.

Thanks,

Rick.

Hit Thanks if I helped you in anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] beetlish:
I had some problems too. First I flashed generic 4.0.4 and it worked fine. Then I flashed the prerooted kernel with CWM, still fine. Then when I flashed Kamarush's lite v2 kernel wifi started acting weird. I got ip from wlan router but it didn't connect anywhere. I changed WPA2 -> WPA and changed channel to fixed 10 and it worked for awhile. After a reboot or two problems occurred again.

Now I'm back to FXP 7.2. Still waiting for the official 4.0.4 update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feb289:
Yup. That's whats happening. After a while error is occurring
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] plies:
I have the same problem. Sometimes a router restart works, sometimes it doesn't. And the problem exists only with some routers, e.g. the Linksys at work worked fine all the time. Some guys on the sony forum found that switching SSID and password to uppercase letters only helped, even though the latter should be completely useless. However, once you disconnect from the WLAN you're back to square one and might have to start fiddling around again.

I tried wiping the phone over and over again but no success. The guy from Sony support chat said the only (official) option is sending the phone in and do a downgrade to Gingerbread. That's why I decided to unlock the bootloader and started playing around with ROMs/kernels. No success yet.

Someone knows which kernel works for sure?

Same problem here. It works fine for a while, but then it fails. Sometimes reboots helps...

There is supposed to be an official thread for this on the sony page... someone found it?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25868081&postcount=30

Works like a charm for me!!!

I also changed my dhcp IP Adress to static, but it looks like 802.11n mode is giving the ICS Rom problems...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] plies:
I found a fix but it's not a nice one. I just bought a new wireless router. At work with a LinkSys router I never had problems with ICS WiFi, at home with a quite old (~6 ys) LogiLink WiFi worked only when moon, mars and venus were in line and I sacrificed a chicken on the balcony. Now I have a LinkSys E1200 router at home and WiFi works flawlessly. Maybe that information is helpful to some developers.

However, my solution might not be an option for most of you, but I wanted to upgrade to an N standard anyways :D

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

I switched from a 802.11b/g which did not work to a 802.11n router and have no problems at all. There is something else fishy. I found people claiming that uppercase SSIDs or even uppercase passwords would help. So it's not the 802.11n but a general WiFi encryption error, because without encryption all is working perfectly.

On my Galaxy S I had it set up so my contacts would only display my Gmail contacts. On the Galaxy SIII every time I go into my contacts I have to select the option to show contacts from Gmail.

How can I make this permanent???

Pretty sure it's in the same section. Rather than just selecting google contacts, go down to were it says customize, and set them there.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diaf82:
I do that but as soon as I restart the phone it goes back to showing contacts on the phone, sim, google, and facebook. How do I make it permanent?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diaf82:
Anybody?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
Sorry, didn't realise I was talking to myself ;) (just having a dig) I've turned my phone on and am now looking at it and will detail where to go.

Press menu

select Contacts to Display

select Customized List

Then go through each account option and either tick, or untick the ones you want. For me, when I do this it stays on each reboot, boot up, what ever.

In this section I have 4 google accounts showing on my phone, a facebook, a samsung, the sim, and the phone account. But I keep all the contacts I want in one of the google accounts so that is the only one I have set to display. And while I don't use any other accounts, there are some provider numbers in the sim account, and obviously facebook ones. But none of them ever show when I set this.

Hope that helps this time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aahammer:
Hi!

I have a problem with my Desire. Any help appreciated.

Got root and CM installed. Somehow moisture (sweat) came in the phone while sports. Then it rebooted and the vol down key was stuck (not mechanical stuck, i think shortcirut or something). That held on for one hour or two.

Then everything went fine for half a day. Then it suddenly rebooted but only to bootloader (Revolutionary), no keys working. After some time i managed to enter Clockwork and recovered the stock Rom. That helped for a day. Then it again rebooted to Bootloader. Same thing as above. Again problems wit vol down key stuck. Ysterday it crashed again after 12 hours of flawless working.

Now nothing goes anymore. Only can enter the bootloader, but no buttons working at all.

My assumption is, that there is a problem with my vol down button. Because of that the device always starts the bootloader (power+voldown = bootloader). Do you think it would help to open the device and simply cut the buttons off? I would sacrifice my Vol buttons for a working device?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alien2653:
Actually you may have no need to cut them off but to unstuck the interior button(the button that we push the exterior button on)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aahammer:
Thanks, but as said:

It's no mechanical problem. The button itself works fine and isn't stuck. Seems to be a defective contact...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Okay this post isn't helpful, but LOL - I read your username as "asshammer"

Also, when your phone gets water damage, it locks you in the bootloader without any way of getting out. So you may have an expensive paperweight on your hands. Try taking it apart and sticking it in some rice.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
On the Rezound, splash screen has its own partition. It is mmcblk0p14 on our phone.

This is the updater-script code I use to flash splash screens via recovery:

ui_print("Extracting Files...");
package_extract_dir("splash", "/tmp");
ui_print("Setting Up...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dd");
ui_print("--Flashing Splash ...");
run_program("/tmp/dd", "if=/tmp/splash1.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14");;
ui_print("Done!");

In the root of that zip, there is a folder called splash with dd and a splash screen named splash1.img inside. The reference zip file is attached.

This site: http://droid.tnet.com/rezsplashgen

That will allow you to make 720p splash screens by uploading an image of your choice. Then just open the zip file that it gives you and pull the splash1.img as that zip file is for the Rezound only but the splash screen it makes will work fine.

So, in a nutshell what you need to do:

1) Identify the partition your splash screen is located at. I was able to do it for my phone and I can help someone via gtalk (pm me) if you want to take a stab at it for the XL and want my help.

2) Change "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14" in my script to the correct partition that was found for your device and put the new updater-script in the zip file.

3) Make a splash screen and put that in the splash folder in the zip file.

4) Have someone who wants to be the first to test... since the splash is no longer signed, it might brick or be blank. An RUU should fix it though. (extremely unlikly, phone will run fine with a corrupt splash screen (yes, it has been tested lol))

Reference zip is attached.

edit:

I looked into it a bit.

I used the dumped partitions I found on dropbox.

It could be 9,11,12,14,15,16,23,30

My two with the highest confidence were #12 and #14. #14 could be hboot though and obviously that would be a horrible idea to try flashing a splash to that. But if #14 isn't your hboot, then maybe that is it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niceppl:
take a look at p14...yea it does look like splash however the size is very different...

the splash1.nb0 is 2mb and p14 is 6mb..

will test it when i have time tonight...

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
remember a dumped image will be the full size of the partition, including blank space. If I remember correctly, the partition for the splash screen is MUCH bigger than it needs to be. Also be careful because with S-ON changing the splash could have severe negative effects.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:

I'd like to upgrade CM7 to ICS and looking for a fast stable ROM with multilingual support.

My goal is to avoid overloading the hardware.

Which ROM should I try ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muralikrishna72003:
Try RR Rom with Fluxi Kerenl. I read some where in threads that fluxi kernel supports multi lingual.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Dude, fyi, this is the Captivate forum, not SGS2. That is an SGS2 ROM and kernel if my search results aren't mistaken.

To the op, if you like CM7 a lot, then the clear choice for ICS will be CM9. Everything you love about CM7 (eventually) but with ICS. I don't know how anything would overload the hardware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
What I mean by overloading the hardware is the sluggish response you sometime experience when the software is trying to do too much and it takes seconds to accomplish what you want.

How is the AOKP based ROM performing with the Captivate ? I like the app quick access from the Lock Screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
No matter where you go, you will always experience some lag. Upgrading to ICS doesn't mean your phone is magically going to grow a second core and double the RAM. But generally aosp does a good job of avoiding a lot of it.

I personally don't prefer AOKP, but it has a strong team and a wide following and you will probably enjoy it, and I'm sure it performs great. Most ICS ROMs nowadays will include the lockscreen shortcuts though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
CM9 has the best ics experience if you use devil kernel. Imo
