Unable to view contacts

sorry for that, and sorry for the delay as wel.

I am using a Sony Ericsson W8 device, this is not a windows based.

few more things like to share.

i have one app called Folder Orgaaniser, using this app i am able to see all the contacts.

every time i save a contact it does not show me the saved contact, but i can see that in folder organiser.

moreover if that person calls me, i get his name displayed on the screen, but my contact list is showing empty.

is this helpful or need some more info ?

HomeCustomizer by Adrian DC : http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/ics_homecustomizer.html

Useful with : [Script] XperiaHomeManager for SONY ICS ROMs

The application will allow you to set your own settings on the Home application of the SONY ICS ROM,

just by following simple choices at the beginning !

The script handles the apk decompilation, editing and recompilation,

aswell as the build of flashable zip at the end for the installation of the files !

Provided apks are working fine with the SONY ICS ROM 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.

If you find anything wrong, or have a bad rendering on the phone with some of the options,

please post a comment with explanations on the problem and the Installation Details string,

for example, "HomeCustomizer-4.0-7Scs-A5x4-Rot-Ion-HAFI-ALFI-HTD-11px-HWA".

Thanks to vr5411 who helped me for some of the functionnalities and for the new Home apks !

Thanks to Pandemic who first tested the Application with Xperia GX Home !

Bye !

If you like my work, don't forget to press the :good: Thanks button ! Thanks you ^^

Can't download it... It redirects me to the home page. :\
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
The application isn't finished yet, which is why I deactivated its download

and request interested users to contact me by pm to beta test the application.

Global news : The 3.1 Home is getting better and better,

I think the application now is stable with 3.1 Homes too.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ArcMan09:
Why by PM?

Can"t u post the download link in OP.

Do u want to increase your PM counts? :rolleyes::mad::confused::p:o
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
No that's because I don't want any old versions linked online,

I first want to have a version finalised before release..

I'm still working on little changes and improvements,

therefor beta tests are welcome and much appreciated,

like papayayoghurt did since the beginning.

I'm someone who prefers a finished work over a rushed one.

I hope you do understand.

-----

I have a version 2 Beta 2 working pretty good, contact me by PM, I can give the link directly.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
Tried the beta version...

Chose nxt home

chose screen indicator at bottom (xperia ion)

But I got the screen indicator at top (xperia s)

chose 4*4 app menu

but I got 4*5 app menu...

:D:D:D:D:D

Anyway Im really looking forward for the full version...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks.

In the Beta 2 you tested :

As indicated, the Ion indicators aren't finished at all,

I started it 3 hours ago? something like that..

It needs to be finished.

I'm working on the Ion for 3.1 Home, will get on 4.0 afterward.

Yeah, the 4x4 has to be reactivated, don't worry..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
Hi! :D I don't know if it's possible but could you also add a feature to include a dockable corners like the modded homescreens on gingerbread? You know.. The bubble like thingy on the corners on which you could put your shortcut icons.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
I'm not sure about that at all...

First I'll try to have everything working fine, then I'll see how the corners work..

I think my ion settings are working great, looks fantastic on Home 3.1, but Home 4.0 still to be finished.

Static wall never worked do far so I'll look into it soon, same thing for 1 screen home..

Bye

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
Thanks! You could take one of the homescreens of the smaller Xperia devices like live with walkman, xperia mini pro etc. They have the bubble corner thingys in their homescreens.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Yeah don't worry I know where to look.

But I'm not sure it'll work with 4.0 aswell, maybe only the 3.1 will have it..

I'll try, don't worry, but I need some time since I have other things to do too.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
News, sorry for double post :

What do you guys would think of a beta version released?

I might release HomeCustomizer v2.b3 as a Beta test version,

almost everything works fine now, I even got the static wall working,

though there still is a bug with landscape static wall, still, nothing bad..

I tested top corners, woaw, I hate both their design and functionnality xD !

Won't work on Home 4.0, they removed the unneeded things..

But I'll try to see if I can add it too...

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Crocodile1973:
beta release be great, would like to test this.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] flippy12:
+1

Ah yes, could be great, I would want to be able to test this functionality too :-) It seems interesting as it simplify the customization.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Ok, getting a lot of request so I'll look into it..

Would be pretty easy to release, just gonna have to reactivate its download

on my website and upload the pack, the tricky thing is to finally build

a beta 3 version ! :D As I am testing many things now..

Maybe tomorrow !

Will let you know..

EDIT : Testing 5x4Desktops, have a look :
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Overdose1986:
I know im lazy but can you please post your 5x4 desktop mod
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
There's a problem I need to solve before releasing HomeCustomizer.

I did add Changes Logs on the webpage if someone's interested..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
I think he's asking for the home.apk with 5x4 desktop mod in your screenshot not the home customizer itself :p Just clarifying things out :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Yeah but since the Home I presented was a test build with my HomeCustomizer,

and since it wasn't finished at the time, meaning the Home.apk wasn't perfect,

and since it still isn't 100% perfectly finished, you can see both things

are more then directly linked together ;D

But the problem I was talking about earlier seams to be gone, so release nearing itself ^^
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] papayayoghurt:
Can you make a graphical UI? This would be great. But your Programm is great.

Gesendet von meinem LT18i mit Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
No it doesn't need a GUI I think,

and that way the script should remain as compatible as possible

throughout the most recent versions of Windows, meaning XP, Vista and 7.

The v2.b3 is available for everyone online ! Have fun guys !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] KHOJA:
so i did the " home "

and got 3 files .. what next ? " sorry i'm a noob "
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
You have the choice between using my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh with ScriptManager

in order to install the new Home.apk directly in Android,

or use the Flashable zip with CWM to install the files.

A Flashable Zip with original files also is given just in case.

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Candy[MAN]:
Trying to go 4x5 desktop and 4x4 applications and it is not working out. Upon reboot, it is 4x4 for both desktop and applications.

This is the file it creates: FlashableZip[HomeCustomizer-4.0-1Scs-A4x4-HNFI-ANFI-ND-11px-StcWll-HWA]

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

I think you have you your HOME DESKTOP options reversed.

If you select # 1, 4x4, you get 4x5.

If you select # 2, 4x5, you get 4x4.

The above only applied on the HOME DESKTOP selection screen.

I have now been able to get the 4x5 lines for the home desktop by selecting option # 1 (4x4)

Filename: FlashableZip[HomeCustomizer-4.0-1Scs-D5x4-A4x4-HNFI-ANFI-ND-11px-StcWll-HWA]
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] KHOJA:
flash which file ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Crocodile1973:
Yeah can confirm this too.

Sony Xperia Arc
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Sorry about that, was only a mystake of last second changes ^^

Don't worry, that's fixed, v2.b4 should be fine on this point too.

I'll remain in beta until I'm sure it's fine.

The unfinished features will come in a future version but not right now,

I spent a lot of time on it since 1-2 weeks, have to do something else.

Answer to what file to flash : The modded one if you want the new Home,

the Original one to restore the Home.apk without mods.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] KHOJA:
ok got it
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] y3s:
Just flashed, and it´s working fine!!! Great app!! Thanks a lot!!:good:

Just a bug that I saw: when choosing 3 screens, the apk doesn´t really remove the others screens, they just don´t show it. And when you try to insert a Photos and Videos widgets, they cell it´s already inserted (i tryed cleaning the data from this apk).But if you force to scroll to the 2nd screen to the right, you´ll see that the widgets are inserted in the "hidden" screen.

Don´t know if it´s possible to fix, but here goes my tip.....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
You're welcome.

This trouble doesn't come from the apk but from your Home Datas. Clear them in the applications settings to get a clean desktop.

I'm thinking about something to fix that but so far, nothing conclusive..

Bye!

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
News : I started a new little project in Shell Script with SManager, called XperiaHomeFixer.sh.

If achieved and working, it should fix errors with unworking menu lines (5x4 changes mainly),

and maybe something else, will see..

If someone has any other idea on the error I could try to fix regarding the Home datas...

Bye !

EDIT : Changed from XperiaHomeFixer to XperiaHomeManager.

The script will allow to :

b) Backup the Xperia Home Datas.

c) Clear the Xperia Home Datas.

r) Restore the Xperia Home Datas.

f) Fix the Xperia Home Datas.

+) Only force-close Xperia Home.

i just cant see the difference between the one with hardware aceleration and the one without it =/

can someone tell me?

iam on arconium 4 with software rendering
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Glad you like it too!

Hardware rendering doesn't change much for most of the users, I just added the choice because some home got hw deactivated, so just in case... It's useful with 4.0.3 I think, not 4.0.4.

Is it possible to edit icon spacing?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
I tried to get the best rendering with 4x4 and 4x5, the values I've set are the one I found to be the best.

Thing is, if you reduce the icon spacing, the icons and widgets get cropped and weird looking...

What would you like to do exactly?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] irononreverse:
I was using vr's old ICS home and it manages to reduce the dead dodge at the top and bottom of the screen. His new one and the one produced by your script isn't the same.

the home apk doesnt work with xmooded 90.5 :crying:

when i try to change the position of a widget or a app -> i become a fc :/
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
That's weird, I don't see why not..

Did you try to clear Home's data?

By the way, Xperia Home Manager will need some more work since it's working pretty good,

but the changes don't remain after a reboot, makes me angry :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saiger:
yes,

but i think i need the sony widget picker.... :confused::crying:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Yes you might.. HomeAdd.apk is included if Home 4.0 is chosen, but the WidgetPicker might be needed too..

I, on my side, didn't change it, I have the 4.0.4 stock one.. Maybe yours is modded for something else.

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
XperiaHomeManager.sh is finished, I'm going to release it, the script works exactly as I intended it to !

Even the restoring process works fine with the Widgets, whereas Titanium Backup did break widgets !

what does the transparent launcher background mean?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Transparent launcher background deletes the Dock's design,

Half-transparent makes it much better looking in my opinion,

here's a preview :
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Gnavarroc:
everything works just fine but is there a way to make the app drawer more smooth?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] :
Couple of questions.

First of all, this application can help us make a NEW home launcher OR does it customize our current home launcher?

Second, this will work on 4.0.4 right? (Just to confirm :) )

Third, can this change the transparency of the notification bar?

Sorry for all this question but I am a guy who wants to double confirm before trying out things. :)

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Gnavarroc:
i already tried it and it gives an original home.apk and a modified one ready for flash =), you can only adjust the transparency at the menu (the 4 icons downside)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks.

App drawer is really smooth for me..

Of course it works on both ICS 4.0.4 and 4.0.3.

The transparency of the notification bar is handled by the SystemUI.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
I might have something, not a big change but it could be a bit more like you've presented..

Thing is, by making bigger changes, the page indicators get pushed to the bottom of the screen,

without any consideration to any dimens value you give them...

Test it in v3, bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] piggybomb:
you made an option to disable hardware acceleration for the home... so does that mean it is a better option?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Hardware acceleration is highly recommended and gives a better rendering.

However, those with 4.0.3 ROMs might prefer to turn HWA off.

Best/Normal choices are number '1's.

HomeCustomizer updated with the last 4.0.3.A.0.14 Xperia GX Home.apk.

Works like a charm, thanks to Pandemic for testing it for me !

All choices of the previous versions seem to be compatible with the new one, good ^^.

I also deleted the old 4.0.3.A.0.9 Home, and added a new font size option : 12px with the previous 11px and 13px.

It renders nicely on the new version, is therefore set to default in the choices.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
