About a year ago I read somewhere that Sony (then Ericsson) holds more than 6,000 patents related to smartphones, and they have agreements with other manufacturers such as Apple and Microsoft.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Apple even used the Arc as an argument against the generic design of the Galaxy phones, so in terms of design it's also highly unlikely.

Dude Sammy's phone are banned not caz of android caz of Design & it all ....get the info & talk

A new trend is now LIVE..

Sue him sue her.... And apple is the dean of the sue grp...

Siny phones... Very less are interested in thm... The world is unpredictible and can change trends in a flash b4 u cn say XDA

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LeoSquizz:
I´ve seen the whole list from jason mick in the dailytech blog...and some are for design and others for software behavior... like the infamous slide to unlock(wich has prior art), but anyway, i know what i´m talking about, and i´m sure that apple´s legal department can find lots of things to sue sony(not that they have the right to, but they can), IF they want to, and that´s what we ´re talking about here...;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SCHUMI_4EVER:
The Samsung phones being sued for software behaviour are sued because they use Touchwiz...since Sony uses a different launcher they're not going to get sued for the same thing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] music.soul:
Probably First SmartPhone was released by Sony Ericsson - SE p990 .. which was a big hit in the market ... so they are miles away from Apple!! ... Actually Apple uses Samsung's TFT and LCD AMOLED Screens.... there can be loss in near future :P

Even apple can be sued for NOTIFICATION STUFF?? WHY NOT?

I mean if small concept of LOCKSCREEN OF APPLE can sue SAMSUNG then GOOGLE should SUE APPLE for taking their idea of Notification bar in iOs5 ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LeoSquizz:
I knew it...

I knew there was an explanation for this...

Cheers mates!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] adity:
The patents over which Apple's suing Samsung are quite baseless

But I really think that Samsung is trying to copy Apple's products

S voice is a complete rip off Siri

Ace and s2 look too similar to iPhone

Samsung is even going to release a cloud service like apple.

Even in some of its commercials compare S3 with iPhone

Some more I can't remember right now

Just my opinion

No offense
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
I agree with you. I'm not a fan of any of those two companies, but no matter how much i hate Apple,i have to agree that Samsung is Apple wannabe.

Apple and Steve Jobs took inspiration from Sony openly stated in US court...

Source:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/27/apple-took-inspiration-from-sony-when-designing-the-iphone/

Statement:

Sony has a great design heritage, us Xperia owners know that having used some great mobile handsets over the last few years. This includes the Xperia NXT handsets, Xperia arc (a design classic in our eyes), Xperia mini and Xperia ray. Also who can forgot one of the brilliant Sony Ericsson handsets, the T68i. However, Sony has a history of great design overall, whether it be for their slim Walkmans, the monolithic Bravia TVs or their Vaio laptops.

Given this legacy, it is interesting to note that Apple took inspiration from Sony when designing the iPhone. This information has surfaced in the ongoing patent infringement battle between Samsung and Apple. Samsung’s argument is that even if they did take inspiration on some aspects of their mobile design from Apple, Apple has done the same in the past and that this practise is commonplace in the consumer electronics market.

An Apple designer, Shin Nishibori, was asked to create “Sony-like” concepts of phones that carried the name “SONY” and “JONY”. The pictures were created around a year before the iPhone first

It is public knowledge that Steve Jobs admired Sony and when brain-storming ideas for the iPhone he even asked one of the designers: “What would Sony do?” It’s quite clear from looking at the pictures that these concepts look nothing like any Sony products that were on the market at the time and in fact they bear a stronger resemblance to the

Let’s hope that Sony continues this strong emphasis on design, which many have looked up to, in future Xperia handsets. Both Apple and Samsung will begin their trial in front of a jury on Monday 30 July. The case is 11-01846 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DUBVGALAXY:
I have the Incipio NGP and love it. But it fits a little loose. I was wondering if theirs any other cases like it? Specifically that also cover the buttons. What I like about that is it makes my phone look all black :) no stupid blue buttons showing through.

[Add-on][Tweaks/Mods/Apps]█ Pΐʍp ʍӳ Röʍ v1.4 █{Works on any Device !}[MOVED THREAD]

THIS THREAD HAS NOW BEEN MOVED TO THE GENERAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT FORUM

>>> NEW THREAD HERE <<<

Please use the new thread to discuss about Pimp My Rom, as I will not be checking this one anymore.

Thanks a lot to everyone who gave constructive feedback and helped improving this project

This is NOT a rom

Pimp my Rom is an aroma-installer based script that will allow you to choose between a plethora of nice tweaks, mods, apps, themes and features to add to your current rom.

YOU choose which options and tweaks to apply, all this with a nice touchscreen interface, even if you're not running a touchscreen recovery, thanks to Aroma.

You can now run this script on any Android Device !!!

Here's the list of the features that you can enable and disable at will (will be adding more and more over the time) :

Hi @Androguide.fr!

Thanks for your new ROM. Question: is it no need to gap install sir?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
This is NOT a rom. Please read the OP carefully.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
Strange experience.

The installer did gone through everything and in the end rebooted the system. But, my custom font remains. My custom apps that I added to /system/app never been deleted too.

The only changes I notice was those request to install the Solid Explorer and some other apps was there.

How do I know if the installation done properly?

I attached with the installation log file.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
I tried the 2nd time with format the /system folder first and the system won't boot up. Check in TWRP and tt seems like the core files never been installed, just those selected patches and apps being installed to the system. This might the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
err... what did you actually expected... this is just an ADD-ON... it is not a FULL FIRMWARE. it only add some files/tweak to the current firmware that you use... if you format your system folder... of course it won boot up... nothing is there...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] basempro2:
nice addon but how do i restore gplay store ajd email and people apps to standard not inverted? ??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] furius:
is CWM mandatory or can this be flashed also using TWRP recovery?

Thanks for your new brilliant idea! :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
Alright, got it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] songmeesay:
I flashed with twrp just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
Tested that some of the inverted extra apps isn't inverted:

Google Now

Calendar

Talk

So far the GMail and People (Contacts) work in inverted.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] s28:
The download link is down :(

update: it works already!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] deani77:
Just install the Aroma tweak... Only select all tweak and install DSP Beat Audio, Solid Explorer and Flash for JB. But I can't see Beat audio and Solid Explorer anywhere in drawer menu. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
These have been tested, it should install properly. I'll only be able to help if you attach your install log (Press "Save logs" button after the installation is completed). Maybe try to reboot, apps might not work properly on first boot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I updated the OP with my current To-Do list.

Here it is :

- Include an option to modify build.prop dpi (To allow users to choose their workspace layout (Tablet or Phablet) on other roms than PA).

- Include an option to remove options you selected previously

- Include cm9 and cm10 themes

- Installer Language selection

- Dedicated build.prop tweaks selection screen

- Add Script Manager to extra apps

- Include an option to choose your device so the link is the same for both models

- Make this script usable on any device (might need the user to wipe cache and dalvik by himself)

Have ideas, thoughts, suggestions ? Please post them, I am open to any ideas and criticism, as long as it makes this project go forward in the right direction.

Nice, EVERYTHING worked for me accept for the V6 Super Charger, will try to reinstall.

Confirmation the other files were copied:

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Unsure why but both V6 Super Charger & Jellyscream Max didn't work despite installing twice...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] serling:
I tried to put sh v6.sh and it works.. but jellycharger doesn't...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] songmeesay:
Weird, I don't have the battery and smoothness in my init.d folder and I chose to install every tweak through Aroma.

Edit: Had to go back into Aroma and install them manually instead of checking the install every tweak option.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Thanks a lot for the feedback, i'll update the "install all tweaks" option's code in order to fix that as soon as I get back home.

Do you have the install log of your first installation (when u just ticked install all tweaks) please ?

EDIT : Done, smoothness and ext2sd were indeed missing from the install all tweaks option.

I can not install it.

Reuploading, maybe it's broken.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] kanej2006:
Did you notice ANY difference when installing the tweaks? I noticed no improvement at all...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] DakiX:
I would not recommend this on my ROM Zeta because it already includes most of the tweaks and this can lead to complications.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] songmeesay:
I do notice subtle differences. Mainly in my GMD Gestures app. For example I use a 5 finger expand gesture that brings up a mini apps launcher through Nova. Before the tweaks, there was always a 2-3 sec delay before the window appeared. Now it pops up almost instantly.

I ran the supercharge script and it seemed to make my pulldown notification a bit choppy and didn't register the 5 finger expand gesture too well (had to do the gesture twice, sometimes 3 times for the mini apps launcher to appear), so I unsupercharged.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] teeskay:
Incredible!

Thanks a lot, awesome work. Really love it on my tab... Has got me thinking, would this work on Galaxy Note? These tweaks are badly needed for my note roms.. If I could flash it or you could make a version for Galaxy Note i7000 it would be most appreciated! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Glad you like it, thanks.

Yeah I'm actually working on a universal version, that will work on any device. I tested it on my sgs3 and worked perfectly. I have to remove the efs backup option and ext2sd mod to be able to make it work on any device, but other than that it's ok.

I'm updating/adding a few things before releasing, but next update will be usable on any device.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] DakiX:
No, but how could enlighten Anroidguide scripts are being built if it overwrites the existing or just writes because when the second, it could lead to problems I only say did.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] melorib:
Thanks, If you could tell us what is already in your ROM it would make it easier to decide to test or not :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Astrix Ashburn:
Its just a Nandroid away.

Back up, try it and will get the answer.

Anything report/feedback here as good for the development.

Will give this a go when I got time :)

But dont expect a sparrow to fly like an eagle ;)

All tweaks are at Zeta inside except one or two.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] sg10:
any way to fix slow scroll ? thanks for the volume tips

Only encounter 1 problem, still no luck install supercharger v6. (already installed 3 times)

other than that good work. thank you
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] deani77:
Anybody tried on top stock ICS ROM... Can share it here. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I calibrated the touchscreen using many different settings to try to improve scrolling with no real luck. The script includes the calibration settings that worked best in my opinion. Gonna have to use volume buttons until I manage to fix scrolling.

What is the problem you encounter with v6 ? the script won't run ? I modified Pimp My Rom to use it on my sgs3 (can't test on my tab atm) and the SuperCharger ran properly all the way to 100% SuperCharged.

Open terminal emulator and type the following :

su
cd /system/xbin
sh v6.sh

The script will run, just follow the onscreen instructions, choose your options, etc... Don't forget to "Superclean & reboot" after running all the options you want.

Then, to activate the supercharger service (it won't run automatically at each boot) type this in terminal emulator :

start super_service

The jellycharger won't work, need some framework editing that I can't really make universal.

What exactly is the error you get please ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] nutley:
tried it on lq2 with ezyics kernel and all the inverted apps broke, i had installed most things but just reverted back to a nandroid and havent tried again since.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Thanks for the feedback :good:

I think I'm gonna add a screen at the beginning to choose between cm9/cm10/stock based roms to avoid problems. This way it will only display options compatible with your rom.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] songmeesay:
Re-ran supercharger and it seems to have gone better this time around. Its registering all my gmd gestures right away and most notably that little lag when you first start scrolling in Chrome is now mostly gone. Pulse tiles are loading much faster than before, too. Thanks again androguide for your diligent work.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] deani77:
So far only managed to get 50% supercharger only... Was on holiday now in my hometown which only have EDGE internet connection and away from my PC. Will dig Supercharger thread how to get 100% supercharged
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] songmeesay:
I believe androguide has already patched the other 50% so you'll only see 50% when running the script but you'll still be 100% supercharged.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] veveko:
Everything is okay for me, v6 ran when tried with "sh v6.sh" command, not with "sh v6"

Same for jellycharger with "sh jellycharger.sh" instead "sh jellycharger" (script launched but can't run coz missin' a smali file on sdcard.. Don't really understand it because my english is baaaad... So baaaad)

I just find, but it's my own opinion, than smileys are a little too big in Mms inverted.. But no matter.

@ Androguide: You the best dude! Thank you for your great work, you make me proud to be French :)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
silly request... can you add up bootanimation support for stock rom...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Actually I thought it would do that too, but in fact it displays 100% Supercharged after running through all the options. I guess zeppenlinrox has updated this.

No can do pal, this is done by some kernel modifications which need to unpack&repack the boot.img, which isn't easily done on gtab 7.7. The only way I know of doing this for 7.7 atm is to compile the kernel from source after having modified what you need in the sources.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm uploading a new version of the script, which can be used on ANY android device !

For the moment, I'm making two versions : one for aosp/cm based roms and one for stock-based roms, I'll merge both in a future update, had problem doing it now.

The new version includes cm9 and cm10 themes, added Script Manager as extra app and fixed Beats Audio installation.

But I had to remove efs backup to make the script usable on any device.

Give me some ideas guys ! what should I add to improve this script ?

The stock-roms version is lighter as I removed everything that won't work on stock roms, such as themes, gapps, inverts, etc...

If you own another device appart from your 7.7, please try to flash this script and post your results here, I'll update the OP with each new device confirmed working. For the moment, I tested on my p6810 and my sgs3, both working properly.

Once I estimate the add-on is ready and has enough good features, I guess I'll move the thread to general android development.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] edan1979:
yup... expected about it... as my attempt on doing the simple mod like other samsung phone is failing... and compiling the kernel just for the sake of bootanim is not productive...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I believe EzyKernel has bootanimation support, maybe give it a try.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
Here you go for the next 50% Supercharged. As long as you are using PA2.1, it will serve you alright. Make sure you nandroid first before continue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
This is different for each rom man, precise which rom this services.jar belongs to please. Patching services.jar for V6 breaks Paranoid Settings on Paranoid Android afaik.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
I'm aware of it the it is unique to each of the ROM. And I'm using your PA2.1 with this. As long as you are using PA2.1, it should work.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] deani77:
Any idea where should I put that downloaded service.jar file?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] ZhenMing:
- make sure you did nandroid before proceed.

- put the services.jar in the /system/framework.

- Set the permission to -rw-r--r-- or you use terminal to run chmod 644 service.jar.

- restart your system.

CAUTION: If you don't follow all the steps above, your system will hang at boot animation.

How can I enable init.d for stock samsung rom?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] freakmax:
I already downloaded "services.jar" from ZhenMing post and did the instruction above.

I still can't make it 100%.

What should I do? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
@freakmax :

You should run the "1000hp" option according to your screenshot, that'll make some more improvements.

About the other 50% :

The V6 SuperCharger Script already has an option that will patch the services.jar of the rom you are running, you just need to be connected to internet.

The services.jar file ZhenMing posted can only be used with Paranoid Android v2.1 so make sure you are running this rom, or use the v6 option to patch your services.jar.

You can also go to http://android.mimic.ca, upload the services.jar (in /system/frameworks) from your current rom, it will automatically patch it then you can download it and replace your actual services.jar with the patched one.

----------------------------------------------------

New aosp version with fixed beats audio is finished uploading, same link as in the OP and my previous post.

----------------------------------------------------

If you have other devices than your 7.7, you can run this script on it too, it should work.

Please make sure you post the device you tested on and whether it worked properly or not. That would help me a lot, Thanks.
