Hello

Please note I will only be choosing the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Metallic Blue) but I might still choose the iPhone 5 (if it's worth it)

I have a iPhone 4 and I am contemplating going over to Android.

My first smart phone was a Nokia 5800 (well First one I customized had the N70 & N73)..... now I'm using the iPhone.

I understand that flashing fw to cfw was how one did custom roms on the Nokia's, and of course jail breaking is for the iPhone. So I figure rooting is for Android. ?? is it easier to root than to jailbreak ??

I would also like to know if these options are available for Android,

Custom tones for all tones (email, battery warning, alarm... etc.)

Multiple wallpapers for pages, custom page transitions.

page transition sounds (not on iPhone as far as I know, seen on pip-boy Android theme)

Hardware wise How does scrolling and touch feedback compare on Android compare to iPhone (specifically Galaxy S3 to iPhone 4) can it be done on Android ?

I listen to music in my car via an aux cable headphone input cable when I unplug the cable the player stops.... I love that feature, and the activator app that allows you to customize gestures and button presses for apps (like double press of the sleep button to skip a song)can it be done on Android ?

I know there are apps that allow you to hide icons on the home screens and lock screens on iPhone, can it be done on Android ?

Basically I understand that Android should be easier to customize than iPhone......

Lastly I would like to ask If the users that are on Android that have used iPhone's, And those that have gone from iPhone to Android, will I be happy ?

I love tinkering with tech...

How is the scratch resistance on the Galaxy S3 ?

Are screen protectors really needed ?, I have been using my iPhone 4 for

Almost a year and 7 months, hardly any scratches on the back - none on the front, and it lives in a pouch (no screen protectors)

That's all I can think of for now... Will add more questions soon

Another question....:D I see on the screenshots thread that the "status bar (iphone) " barckground on the Android is black, can one make it clear (like on the iPhone) ? (or better yet move it's location.. say the bottom of the screen ?)

Oh and can one hide fonts ? and if you can, can you hide the shadows of the fonts ? (can be done on iPhone)

As stated above Please note I will only be choosing the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Metallic Blue) but I might still choose the iPhone 5 (if it's worth it)

Take a look at some of the custom roms already out for sgs3 and you will see just what can be done, google samsung s3 roms as a starting point.

works on?

Hi, is this keyboard only for 4.0.4, as I've managed install it on my phone running 4.0.3

It works well but I'm missing swipe input even though in the options, it's on.

Any suggestions?

( sidenote, i have managed to theme this.)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] leonyeh:
swipe just for Landscape mode
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Seems weird, why did Sony take away functionality?

Thanks for the info, and seeing as you're the OP can I ask your permission to theme this?

I'll post a link here to my thread
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] muzontnt:
Swipe works in portrait mode is also
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] muzontnt:
I added a new smileys in both keyboard :D

QWERTY: money and skull

T9: money, skull and smiley with red hair

Enjoy! ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] leonyeh:
No problem
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] leonyeh:
Right,my mistake,seems that swipe only work in full keyborad layout
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] muzontnt:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Must be my android version. I'm running 4.0.3, swipe doesn't work for me.:(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] muzontnt:
I use ICS 4.0.3 ;) maybe you did not enable swipe in keyboard settings?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
I did. This is puzzling.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pveyes:
maybe some library missing?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
could be but i don't know what file

Does anyone know what lib files are required?

Try wiping the data of Xperia Keyboard/Xperia International Keyboard.

There's no library for Xperia Keyboard.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Can't even install my own zips now!

What is going on with my phone!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
Defragment your microSD my wild guess is that it's become too fragmented to the point that it's almost unreadable.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
Do not do this!

micro SD cards don't need defragmentation:

sources: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3340889

Defragmentation is only used for electro-mechanical memory devices like harddisks. microSD/microSDHC cards are fully electronical devices and thus need no defragmentation.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
No worries , I know when i try manually, all seems well.

I reboot, and it doesn't show up in settings/apps

I can't change input method to it

But when i use a file explorer (estrongs) it seems all is well.

I'm well confused:confused:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] miqz:
can i use this for CM9 ?

beacuse i don't like cm keyboard
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tinyXperia:
I don't think so, you need full Xperia framework for it.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ThilinaC:
I remember reading somewhere that it worked in cm9.So he can try at least ;)

Xperia S doesn't have a hardware keyboard so we should expect it doesn't have any events for sym key or even the key with globe icon that launches the browser. Anyhow it's the same for Xperia Pro here.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Never had the problem.

However, on an other subject, I managed to remove the unnecessary files from the pack,

already present in the Stock ROM, I mean identifical files,

winning some package size (mainly for CustomChanges).

Interesting is that while decompiling the last released Xperia S ROM,

I managed to find the updated Xperia Keyboard.

The one from this pack v4.0 : package: name='com.sonyericsson.textinput.uxp' versionCode='11010060' versionName='5.4.A.0.12'

The one I have and will test : package: name='com.sonyericsson.textinput.uxp' versionCode='11010064' versionName='5.4.A.0.16'

If it's fine, I might make a pack with everything you need, maybe it'll fix a problem for you !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] marius5147:
will wait for your release ... thanks :good:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
That's it, took it out CustomChanges to pack it alone.

Downloads :

To install with AndroidFilesInstaller.sh : http://www.mediafire.com/?i2r9yn7m0tb85ec

Hi everyone !

In addition to my updated Keyboard pack here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30872324,

Today I'll share with you the textinput-tng.apk, the Xperia Keyboard, I just got double fixed !

Updates :

DefaultThemes background activated in all settings menus.

Smileys layout fixed for our Xperia 2011, see screenshots !

Fix on styles, not important.

Update 2 : Added numpad smileys layout fix !

Download attached.

(This is no Flashable zip, use my script or manual install.)

In order to work, this update requires the files I linked you to

in the beginning of the post to be installed, before this one.

Hit the thanks button if it did work for you !

Dude, I just had my 587 update yesterday, Gradually I install the apps thru CWM. I notice that when I install the xperia S ICS apps first then the keyboard. The Xperia keyboard will become japanese. Then when I install Semcvideo, that's the time it will be on FC. I'm just a noob so i don't know the reason. Do you have the Xperia S video installed on your device too?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Adiassidik:
My Xperia Neo is on .431, I don't know about that Xperia S video :eek: because no new video added after instalation or something...

update : the Xperia keyboard is now working!!! I don't know if I done the right way but work for me :p (I'm a noob too, lol)

So I manualy delete the textinput-tng.apk from System/app, Restart> Open CWM> Clear the caches > install the flashable Xperia keyboard > Restart

after that, I can see the keyboard was there and can be configured but still can be use. So I restart again and re install the flashable zib. Restart and the keyboard works now! :good:
