[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pinoymutt:
Come'on man - I thought I've already settled this in the other thread. This is the last place I'm going to leave it - the thread is here as an FYI and I'm not going to mention it in other threads.

Please don't keep fueling the fire...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] howtomen:
ok thank you but my point was that this isnt a dev topic... not fueling any fire just saying so that in the future if you are going to put out something similar u post in the correct forum.... which is General.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] benefit14snake:
Wrong section or not, thank you for posting this. I am not an android noob but I am a Samsung noob.

Thanks have been given.

Sent from my Axiom MAXX!!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bracketologist:
Thanks for the post! I don't know if this is the wrong section or not, but I do appreciate the brief explanation before deciding when to proceed with root. I am not new to Android, but this will be my first Samsung device. Rooting the HTC Desire and Incredible S didn't have considerations such as a flash counter to consider. Hopefully, I'll catch on to the lingo with Samsung rooting when the time comes to give it a try.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] XaberTheBlade:
I think it fits just fine where it is as I don't usually go to the Q&A or General Discussions (thats what the search function is for). I am not noob to samsung, or galaxy, or android. The dev section is one of the first places I look when checking on any device new or old. I don't even have my phone yet, don't plan on rom'ing for a while but its good to know that a simple root may become an issue. I appreciate the time you took to get this info out there. That's just my ways though.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pinoymutt:
No worries guys. That was my original intention putting this thread in this particular area.

If one of the forum mods thinks it's better placed in another area they will let me know or move it accordingly. As long as it helps someone it's all good.

With root accomplished on the US variants things are going to get interesting but folks just gotta make sure they research before doing anything. There's already a kernel thread in the Sprint development side that was shut down because unfortunately the kernel hard bricked some phones (I think including the Op's) so one can't be too careful! :-)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Gadgetz:
Thanks for the nice explanation, this is my first Samsung phone so I had no clue. Looks like I may hold off on rooting until a fix for this gets found, never know when you may need to make a warranty claim.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
Well this has no links to a Rom, mod or kernel. Which means it's going to general.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmhasanovee:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] illanxr:
Hi there!

I have installed today the new Swype Beta 1.0.3.5809. The keyboard is awesome: it has predictive text now, but I am having some trouble: I can't swype. and, in the previous release (3.26), I didn't have that problem, so I suppose it is not my Neo.

Is anybody facing the same? Thanks! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] illanxr:
Problem solved: just installed the latest Adreno drivers (Polish Blood didn't have them)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
Discontinued

I have removed the app package because I saw users were having trouble with it. Unfortunately I don't have time to fix this every time, so I removed the links.

But don't worry, there are at least 3 other versions of this package. Choose one of these:

Xperia S ICS Apps Version 2.0

All Xperia S Apps

[APP] Official Xperia S app from ICS

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lukesjeans:
have you gotten timescape and widgets for it to work? im getting parse error. Thanks for the apps!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
No, timescape is not included, please see the list above. I only included the app that are new for this release.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lukesjeans:
ah ok......but in future, if timescape is new will you fix it? i downloaded the whole system/ and it gets parse error...so does movies
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
I'll try, but maybe other members will do it.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lukesjeans:
Ok thanks man
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Please, post and framework-res.apk and semcgenericuxp.apk.

Otherwise I can't mod home.apk ;-)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tRippinthehead:
Nice apps! Thank you :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BuzzyMind:
but Thilinac has stated that some things are not working due to not having all the ICS libs from Xperia S

so can you upload all the libs? :D or maybe the whole system folder compressed in zip archive? :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
I can't extract te framework folder :( My tool crashes after /system/app. But you can try to extract it yourself (ftf is on the xperia s forum)

Please, post weather widget and clocks?

video player works fine
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
Not especially for you, but I want to say:

Don't go complaining that you get force closes if you're not on stock rom. It says: only for stock 4.0.4!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
I have to bager you again (but I have thanks available).

That's alarm clock and not clock widget?

Also weather widget upload is corrupted, please reupload.

Yes, they are corrupt!

Don't have icon and can't be opened.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Curst:
Nice! :D

Though my calendar-widget is blank.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
Wouldn't the apps that can't be installed have to be deodexed?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
I meant the movies app that compliments the album app. Not the video player.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pveyes:
sorry my bad :D

yeah, it seems some apps can't be replaced directly
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
No worries :)

Now let's hope we can get the rest of the apps working
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lukesjeans:
This means they need to be deodexed

That is what my friend recommended
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
Now... Who can deodex the apps? Lol
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] CrazyPeter:
Nice thanks. Hopefully more stuff coming soon.. :-)

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
I got visulizer on my arc 4.0.3!!!

got files from this dump.

Music app fine

Widget not (prob because I'm running different home launcher)

No sound enhancments yet, looking into that as I had a ton of effects installed, trying to clean them up now

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

EDIT: Tell a lie, the widget is there and works, just its called Walkman now (duh!)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
visualiser doesn't work on my arc 4.0.4 !!!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
re: Visulizer

Use dump from my link.

I moved all files in soundfx, audio effects.conf in both system/etc and vendor/etc

Installed apk's (semc.music, widget, musicfx visulizer) as system apps i.e moved manually changed permissions.

EDIT: EQ and surround now working!!!!!!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pveyes:

wrong thread
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mercury_beta:
how can surround working? everytime i try to copy files from framework or from etc/permission, i get boot loop. i'm trying to port keyboard and walkman.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
what i did

i took from the dump the following files

All the soundfx folder (lib/soundfx)

Soundenhancments.apk

Musicfx.apk

SemcMusic.apk

SemcMusicVisualizer.apk

MusicWidget.apk

moved all files to their respective folders and changed permissions

rebooted all is well!

make sure you backup first and remember I'm on version 4.0.3

don't know if that makes a difference

Hoped I've helped, I know how long the wait has been

audioeffects.conf From vendor/etc and etc/
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mercury_beta:
i think that you used another walkman mod before, then when you just copy these file in right place, it's working. I've tested on stock 4.0.4, no mod, copy and surround does not work
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Yes, i messed alot with audio mods,

Try flashing ThilinaC's pack from the forum

Also i've had beats v3

ics dsp

sorry

I did clear up, at least i thought i did.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zangetsu2188:
What steps exactly did you perform? Man, I'm frustrated, I can't get it to work. Music is playing but it is crashing upon choosing visualizer, edit music info and my music. :(

EDIT: Thanks! Tried your method above. Still having problems. Perhaps I'll just wait :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Try flashing ThilinaC's pack from the forum first, I'm willing to help until we all get it working

Also I'm at the mo restoring from befor i installed, as i installes the zip from the forum and i didn't like the result

I'll keep you posted

OK I'm uploading a zip of the files I used to get this working on my phone

extract and place the files in the correct places

note audio_effectsVendor.conf goes in the system/vendor/etc folder

and audio_effectsetc.conf goes in the etc/ folder

Rename both above files to just audio_effects.conf

When replacing copy to sdcard (or do a nandroid)your originals and then DELETE the file you are replacing, move the files to the system partion, change permissions on ALL files, then reboot

EDIT audio_effects.conf

sorry wrote wrong again please put the"_" on both audio_effects.conf

Thanks to siddharthsure93 for pointing it out
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pveyes:
i've used ThilinaC's pack before, then I replace those apk like you mentioned before

Then I replace audio_effect.conf in system/etc, but i can't find vendor/etc, and i failed to created it

i restarted it after

music player and visualization works fine, but i can't choose "More", only "Equalizer" in sound enhancement

and there's no clearbass or something

What am I doing wrong? Or it is rom problem :p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
SORRY I ment system/vendor/etc!!

call me what you want, I'm so sorry,

Try it hope you get it working
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] igyoon:
It's working !

It's working perfectly.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BuzzyMind:
I'm getting force close on sound enhancements.. but previously I've applied some "SRS audio update" patch.. any solution?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
Does the "more" option above equalizer also work?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pveyes:
hey, i can't create / copy folder/file in system/vendor

i also can't set permission to write

do you know what's wrong?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mercury_beta:
your phone must be root in right way, and when copy using root explorer, switch mode in the top-right corner to r-o.

anyway, i can't make surround working. Try so many times. Waiting 4 a solution :crying:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] yogesh017:
works great

it really works great..only more option is not working..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
I've applied these too and can run srs panel alongside sound enhancments, srs doesn't seem to have much of an effect though

For me, yes

Don't create, sorry I've amended post, i was pointing people to the 'wrong' vendor folder
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pveyes:
i tried several times and it still didn't work, I even try to replace some libs and it make me reinstall rom because of boot lop :D

after I reinstall, i found out that rom maker stated that "vendor/app" is moved to "system/app", maybe it's the problem (in the rom) ? so that vendor folder is actually system folder

(just a speculation, sorry i'm new :D)

trying again after reinstall produce same result, maybe this is not my luck

maybe i'll wait for someone to make a flashable zip of fully-working walkman app :p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zangetsu2188:
Not working on mine. It just returns to main menu of the music app. But my equalizer now has clear bass. Thanks to Metallijim's audio_effects files. :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] 100rabh7791:
I get force close when i go to Sound enhancement

i tried almost everything :( .. can any1 help ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] siddharthsure93:
Thanks man everything works perfectly....

@Metallijim

Dude The package u gave worked perfectly.... Million thanks to u dude..

U made only one mistake in the Tutorial...We shuld Rename the conf file as audio_effects.conf......Not audioeffects.conf....

Please correct it so that every one can get it working....:D:D :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BIG JD:
You'll need some of the framework file that semc has made

There not you just need sum other files in system/framework and some from system/bin to get them to work

Yes your right you can do it in android kitchen for Rom cooking/porting

The big question is what will everyone plan on using their Surface tablet for? I will definitely use mine primarily for developing windows 8/WP7 & WP8 apps (as I plan on getting that oh so beautiful Intel version). I also want to use it as a streaming video device. I am sure I will use it for more, but this is all i can immediately use it for.
[Microsoft Surface] Kraize:
I definitely plan to get it as laptop replacement and build a new PC. As well as getting the touch cover and the pen to use in college for taking notes and such. Also, I'm really curious as to what the.specs of the gpu will be on the Intel version.

I will definitely get Surface with the new WP8. Will be using it as my laptop replacement + tablet when I were out
[Microsoft Surface] starskyrob:
Laptop replacement for school, visual studio development, hopefully an Ubuntu dual boot to compile otg.
[Microsoft Surface] ronaldheld:
Mostly windows desktop programs with some media reading in tablet mode. Does anyone know the GPU for the Pro tablet?
[Microsoft Surface] dave888:
Not confirmed.

i5 ivyb processing and possibly 4000 graphics.

I'm not sure if there will be any solutions for a great egpu?
[Microsoft Surface] luigi90210:
if its Intel the integrated graphics will suck, the only company that has awesome integrated graphics was amd but they stopped making processors because Intel ran them out of that business
[Microsoft Surface] thehunt33r:
I will use it to easily take orders from my clients, but also to watch movies,etc... and play a bit ^^

Maybe also to do a bit of C++.

Hope the battery is good.

And the most important : Dual Boot Windows 7/ Windows 8

@luigi90210 : AMD hasn't stop from doing CPU. Even if they are surpassed by intel for classic CPUs, their APU (A8,A6) have very good IGP ^^

But I thuink the Surface won't have any graphics apart from the HD4000 !

[Microsoft Surface] :
Intel 4000 are meant to be okay for a integrated intel gpu.

The x86 version will have a Corei5 ivy bridge processor.

The ARM version will have a tegra 3.

Think that whether it will be successful will all be dependent on price.
[Microsoft Surface] c21johnson:
I plan on purchasing the Pro version and using it for use in the education field and general usage -- multimedia, etc.
[Microsoft Surface] oZed:
I think they only said that the demonstration unit was running ivy bridge, they said it would run an i5 though so there is a chance we might get haswell, after all the pro version is being released 3 months later.

If it does run haswell, i'll be getting one for note taking, coding, light CAD work and so on for uni.

[Microsoft Surface] extreme11191986:
