[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Good point, you may be right. I believe something like a companion widget such as WidgetPicker.apk may be required too.

I may be able to support a higher version of the home launcher than the stock one, but not sure if there is a break point before a compatible home launcher and a supported working WeatherWidget.apk.

Fingers crossed. :cowboy:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denie46:
Actually weather widget is fully working on stock 2.3.3. Here's a flashable zip containig widgetpicker.apk and weatherwidget.apk. i've also included clockwidgets.apk.

Enjoy!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Thank you for the files.

I installed the zip via xRecovery with "Sony Ericson Home" 2.0.A.0.20 already installed.

After a reboot I was not able to see the addition of the Weather Widget.

I entered settings ->applications and cleared the data on the "Sony Ericsson Home" 2.0.A.0.20 application and rebooted.

Still no new weather widget.

I note if I go to system/app/ and manually 'install' the application is comes back with "Application not installed'

This generally indicates an incompatibility with dependent OS and/or applications.

I installed Home 1.0.A.1.5 which I believe is the original that comes with SE GB 2.3.3 and again the Weather Widget was not compatible.

Could I install a higher version of "Sony Ericsson Home" or "XPERIA Home" than the current 2.0.A.0.20 I have now?

Is there another 'suite' of compatible Widget/Home applications that'll work under GB 2.3.3?

I know Weather Widget works with GB 2.3.7 and it may have even started it's life on GB 2.3.4, but I can't be sure of that.

Or credit to Denie46, and did I just stuff up something installing the Widgets on my GB 2.3.3 and Sony Ericsson Home 2.0.A.0.20 environment?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denie46:
Try this: copy and paste weatherwidget.apk and widgetpicker.apk to system/app via some sort of root explorer and then fix permissions either from Xrecovery or using the in-built option of root explorer. This one should work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Denie46, Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Yerp, did that.

Extracted the files out of the zip.

Copied the files to /system/app/ and then confirmed permission rw-r--r--.

As I said, I even cleared the data on the "Home" application to restore defaults.

I have also rebooted the system after each of these changes.

I know when I was trying to get this all working in CM10 4.1.2 it was only when I found a WeatherWidget.apk that I could click on in system/app/ and have the WeatherWidget.apk install and state done, that it would work correctly.

At the moment the WeatherWidget.apk as provided, can NOT be installed on my 'standard' GB 2.3.3 OS environment.

It's as if for some reason this WeatherWidget.apk is not compatible with the current OS environment I have built.

I have installed Mobile Bravia Engine, xLoud and patches for Link2SD and others, so maybe I impacted on a required services somewhere or something.

But at the moment with the basic knowledge I have, it doesn't appear that WeatherWidget installs on GB 2.3.3 with "Sony Ericsson Home" version 2.0.A.0.20 as I currently have it built.

Something to note, the ClockWidgets.apk does install and can be seen on the widgets home selector, but it doesn't activate anything that I can visually see on any of the home screens. Select it and nothing happens.

We are sure the provided .apk(s) would work on a generic GB 2.3.3 OS?

If there was no modifications to the Generic Sony Ericson X10i GB 2.3.3 build as downloaded via SEUS and then enabling 'rooted' access;

it is expected that the above WeatherWidget.apk would install and be seen on the Widget selector in the home menu?

What "Sony Ericsson Home" or "XPERIA Home" launcher version was used to provide WeatherWidget support on the X10i GB 2.3.3?

What I guess I'm asking is, are these Widget APK 'known' to work on GB 2.3.3?

If we know the answer is, "Yes". I can re-install the device from scratch, install WeatherWidget.apk and WidgetPicker.apk first and test. Building up my system again and see where it 'breaks' before I get back to my current configuration.

Obviously don't want to have to rebuild my device again if I can find another option... but...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Ok. Just so we have a clean slate and level playing field.

I re-installed the generic SE GB 2.3.3 using SEUS.

The default home launcher is "Sony Ericsson Home" version 1.0.A.1.5

I then gained root access using FlashTool ZergRush exploit.

Enabled WiFi and downloaded ES File Explorer from Google Play Store.

Setup network access to my NAS and copied over the three widgets provided in the zip file.

Place the three apk Widgets in /system/app/ and enabled permission of wr-r--r--

Rebooted the phone.

AND........ Nothing.

The apk Widgets still can not be installed on GB 2.3.3 using "Sony Ericsson Home" launcher version 1.0.A.1.5

When one attempts to install the Widget(s) as a test from /system/app, the WeatherWidget says "Installing..." and then returns "Application not installed"

OK. So had a bit of a tool around with Root Explorer and had a read on the WeatherWidget Manifest and it indicates version 2.0.A.0.7 of the Weather Widget.

So... where to from here...

I'm not giving.. up.....just yet.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denie46:
Last thing that comes to my mind is to go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526284 and download the flashable zip that includes all the xperia s apps ported from 2.3.7 to work on 2.3.3.

[SOLUTION] Weather Widget works with XPERIA Home launcher

Well colour me pink and call me Barbie, that worked!!!

Again, a bit sceptical when I peered into the zip and saw things like TVLauncher and etc, which I have on my XPERIA S 4.0.4

But, dropped down to xRecovey and installed the zip and rebooted.

Booted up to Sony Ericsson logo and it 'hung'. Figured because there's a large number of apk being updated I'd give the Dalvik cache time to do it's thing...and then 'bing'(after a couple of minutes)...login screen.

The home launcher is now using "XPERIA Home" version 2.2.A.0.14

The Weather Widget is version 2.0.A.0.7, accessible and working.

I would postulate that there is a required synergy between the widgets and the Home launcher and that a prerequisite has to be met for all to work together.

Everything appears to be working with no observed impact to my DooMKernel v6 features.

However, the zip overwrites my build.prop which is a bit of a worry.

I see a lot of the old favourite 'tweaks' in the zip provided build.prop so it's not all bad, but need to check the good stuff LoRDDooM supplies is not removed.

The first visual thing I noted is that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i does not support 16M colour and thus some of the subtle colour gradient/blending is lost. The 'hue' above the home launcher icons at the bottom of the screen is a solid colour block.

I may now have to see if I can do a mix and match with some of the apps in the zip and those I don't need.

I'll update my first post with provided solution and a few thoughts on what I've done to modify the provided zip for my environment.

All the nit picking aside, it works and that's what I was look for.

So a BIG thank you Denie46 for hanging in there and helping me out. Much appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Restore the original Battery Status display in launcher

I have been playing with the XPERIA S imported home launcher with Weather Widget and have not found any immediate show stoppers.

The additional applications, upgrades and settings/features out weight any of my specific nit picking.

However, as a direct result of installing the "XPERIA Home" launcher version 2.2.A.0.14, I have lost the "extended" battery status display.

My battery status display only shows the following core items:

Display

Cell Standby

Wi-Fi

Phone idle.​

Is there a way to restore the "original" battery status display which would also show the applications which are the highest battery resource users?

I have read right through the original post relating to the XPERIA S Home launcher port and have not noted any related battery display status information.

On my XPERIA S using "XPERIA Home" launcher version 4.0.3.A.0.13, I would also see applications such as:

Maps

Opera Mobile

Kaiten Mail

etc​

Where the above would at times be seen in the highest battery users.

I don't really want to have to install additional applications to provide information I have lost with the XPERIA Home launcher update.

I already have the paid application "System Panel" which, when history monitoring is enabled, does provide additional information about top application use. However if one doesn't have to enable additional resources to monitor battery use, then this for me, would be the ideal approach.

I run a pretty lean system with only 125 system apps and 145MB memory available when background processes are purged.

I just don't have the expertise at this time to be able to correct/modify the battery display using the ported XPERIA S home launcher on to the XPERIA X10i and display "olde worlde" battery display status.

I do fear this is no small fix, but figure there is no harm in asking.

Again, any help is appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denie46:
Hi again,

i believe that all the battery usage stuff is related to SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk, plus i don't think it worth it to modify these apps if i'm right. But you can try something easier - download again the rom you're using and extract from it "app" folder which is located in "system" folder. Take all the apps except weather widget, widget picker and home.apk and flash them in system/app on your phone. Try the same for framework-res which is located in system/framework. This way you should be able to see the old battery usage style. Before doing anything make a backup of your current rom. :)

There is nothing that can be done to resolve the problem yourself without Sony or AccuWeather providing additional information.

I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Clear-Scr...oth-for-LG-Nexus-4-E960-Google-/350672535192?

it's only $1.95 for 6 dry screen protectors with free expedited shipping in the US. I know it's not the best out there but I personally hate the draggy feeling of wet applicators.

I thought I should share this :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fuego77:
Let us know how the quality is, hopefully it isn't a Crazy finger print magnet
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
I just placed the order 1/2hr ago :) It said estimated delivery is between 12/28 and 1/3. I will definitely keep you guys updated as soon as I have it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
Be careful, before I went with Spigen I purchased cheap protectors and they had the grainy effect and felt odd.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
I had always used dry ones before on my previous phones. They were all fine and each lasted about a month before scratches started to show and I just replace it with another one :D

I currently have Skinomi. I liked it but it's already showing signs of stretches and unhealed marks/dents.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
I haven't tried a wet install due to fear of getting water in the earpiece and other ports. And lol are marks suppose to heal?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dark79:
No cutout for proximity sensor could be a problem. Maybe that's why they're so cheap. Then again at $2 for 6, I have a feeling even the cheapest wet protector will feel better than those :)

I've always used wet apply protectors (6 different phones, and 3 tablets). No problems so far. I think you'd end up with more water in your device while talking on the phone in the rain than with applying wet protectors. Then again I also use distilled water which has lower conductivity than tap.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ssskom:
Here's my experience using a high quality (SGP) screen protector vs cheap ebay ones :

Im currently using SGP dual (front & back) ultraclear for about a month and although its a bit of a fingerprint magnet, so far there are no visible scratches on the protectors. Seems like it holds up pretty well against all the rubbings in my jacket pocket this past month. SGP claims of its material hardness was proven since there are no scratches at all so far :good:. And I thought all screen protectors are made equal...until I was proven wrong a couple of weeks ago..

I helped a housemate bought and install cheap dry application screen protectors on ebay for his samsung exhibit II phone. They are cheap (6 for $1.95), but it took 3 trials for me to finally be satisfied with the result as the first 2 trials resulted in scratches on the protectors when I was squeegee-ing the bubbles. I did not use a squeegee on the 3rd trial and just pushed the bubbles out using my fingers. as a result some of the bubbles are trapped (but went away after a couple of days). However, upon closer look, some of the protector edges are not flat, resulting on lifting on the edges. The thing just looks plain ugly.

So, my advise is stay away form the cheap protectors...you may get lucky with a hi quality protectors but odds are youre going end up with a lo quality ones (hence the low price). They are also prone to scratches. Yeah with the cheap ones, you can change it monthly but since the process of applying a protector takes about 1-2 hour for me, I prefer to install it once and be happy about it for the rest of the cellphone's life...

PS : BTW, the one you posted doesnt have a proximity sensor cutout...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll just try and see. Hopefully I get a good quality one. I don't expect much. Beside its only $1.95.

I give the homeless guy nearby my house $1 every other days anyways :D

This made me happy. Good for you man. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bobola:
++1

I have gone through quite a bit of smartsphone.. each of them I been applying different type of screen protector to try them out.

It really depends on how *cheap* they are...

I purchase 4 for $1.50 on ebay.. they feel as premium as those $14 for 2 high quality one (sgp)

but they do get scratches much more easily than high quality one.

And even if you manage to not get scratches on them, they tend to get worn out in the middle due the swiping ..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
This is very true.

So I received the screen protectors today. I did not apply it as I still have my Skinomi on.

There IS a cutout for the sensor as you can see. However the camera is covered.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dcontrol:
Are you sure you didn't put it on backwards? Weirdly enough that's what I was about to comment on, it does seem to mess with the proximity sensor, as the screen will remain black during calls.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dcontrol:
Already done, just thought people should know though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:

Oh well, I'll just cut a hole for the sensors when I need to.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dcontrol:
lol, I was actually wondering how you got it to stick that way, if I could have I would've kept it that way. It wouldn't bother the camera, at least not as much as it bothers the sensors.

Hi guys. I recently got interested in the world of ROMs. I wanted to try out Jelly Bean and followed a guide from DroidViews (I am from The Philippines. I downloaded the UK firmware.) --can't post outside links because I am a new user. :(

I didn't see anything about rooting, no ClockwordModRecovery something, so I'm kind of worried if I really did it right. I followed the guide literally as it was my first time. There was little lag when opening the app drawer, and returning to the home screen. The little text in the notifications bar is slightly blotched/noisy edges--very minor but I really like things neat.

Also, from this, how do I get back to my old 4.0.4? THANKS! :)

EDIT:

- I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - P3110

- I downloaded Jelly Bean 4.1.1

- I used Odin v3.04

EDIT 2:

- I did a factory reset. No change. Lag is still there. :(

EDIT 3:

- Installation procedures that I followed:

Download the firmware from the link above and extract the zip. Inside the extracted folder, you will see a .tar.md5 file.

Download Odin3-v3.04.zip and extract the zip.

Download Samsung USB Drivers and install on your computer.

Charge your device and backup all important data.

Turn on USB Debugging on the device from Settings> Developer options>

Switch off your phone and enter the Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Down and Home buttons simultaneously and then long press the Power Key. Press Volume Up key on the next screen to enter Download Mode.

Now open Odin.exe and connect your device to computer.

When your device will be connected to your computer, one ID:COM box will turn green and you will “Added!!” text at the message box at Odin.

Click on ‘PDA’ and select the firmware file with .tar.md5 extension from the firmware folder.

Now in Odin, ensure that only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are checked

Click on Start button on Odin.

This installation might take a few minutes and when it finishes, you will see PASS! message on the ID:COM.

The device will reboot now. Disconnect it from the computer.
