[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SpaceCaker:
the thread is for Xperia Mini Pro STOCK roms

wich means for xperia stock roms

these are close to AOSP but with the SEMC ui on top

porting it ui wise is piece of cake

lockscreen (real one ) needs smali editing

wich thabks to some devs these days

we have a guide fot that but its just bit edit and try edit and try to get working right

as for the Xperia Apps

they might work on CM7 but need resigning and edits in manifest

also adding proper libs/permissions etc

are needed

theme porting the stuff is like .to easy

especially to CM7 as almost all layouts and xmls are the same

for getting a fake xperia lockscreen its easy

just edit keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

add custom screen background drawable

wich has the slider BG

thwn add the custom slider drawables (this is like piece of cake )

pngs wont need resizements as they are already mdpi

but even when it was hdpi u didnt need to resize ;)

just decompile

add hdpi folder

add pngs

and remove corresponding pngs out of mdpi

and it should work fine ;)

note:

even if something says MDPI

it may not be working for ace

as lots of stuff are meant for other frameworks

uis

and roms

most (except lots of cm7) stuff are NOT multi flashable for any rom

Check this out. This works on Galaxy Y. So it will work on ours too.

I guess it should work !!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Venomous Viper 119:
Fine. Study well and best of luck ! If possible, please try porting these after you get through with your exams :)

I already have a walkman player. Will post screenshots soon.

How's the progress of your rom ? Please include the Xperia v player !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dontbelive:
This thread must be closed so new users avoid bootloop and dont get confused

This xperia Z package is only for mdpi 2011 xperia devices

And it will bootloop on other phones because of different framework and not all apps will be installed because these are themed xperia apps that requires xperia framework

As far as i know xdd
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Venomous Viper 119:
Nowhere in the thread have I quoted that these stuffs are definitely working on our ace. So if some people try it and get boot loop, it should be because of their own will to take the risk. Even I have tried these stuffs out. It ain't gonna hard brick your ace.

Hello!

I recently got Go Launcher Ex for my Tipo and configured it, now it runs pretty nicely.

But, since i use Chrome (Not Default Browser), PowerAmp (Not Default Player) and so on, i would like to know how much stock (And Google Default) apps i can delete/disable preserving my phones integrity, i want to do this so that i can economize RAM on the device.

I already have rootappdelete, which kind of shows this, but i would like some experiences shared, just in case. :laugh:

Also have Boost my Xperia, LuckyPatcher and SU.

Btw, i live in Peru and i got this phone from Movistar.

The Device is Rooted, but it has a Locked Bootloader :(

Thanks in advance. :good:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] viktex1d:
Can you give me a list of apps in your Mobile... I can help you then...

Locked bootloader is not a problem for removing bloatware...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
drop golauncher, use launcherpro, remove recommender, help, setup, anything you do not use.

disable apps(google talk, mail if you do not use them)

do not use facebook at all, use the messenger only if you have to chat.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] thelonely1989:
Thank you very much.

Is LauncherPro Faster?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
it is certainly the lightest launcher.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spastic909:
Dont post the same question in multiple areas. You posted in q&a help and troubleshooting which was correct. This is just overkill
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rootednoob72:
sorry wasnt sure which area would be more appropriate for the question...thanks for clarifying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ironhelix:
I'm unsure but I'd like to think maybe you need to reflash the gapps .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rootednoob72:
thanks im kind of thinking that too but like i said im a newb and didnt want to spend a bunch of time learning about gapps if that wasnt the issue, guess i got some reading to do now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xXchrizhurtyXx:
Whats so hard about gapps? They come in flashable zips for the appropriate version of android your running.

Yea well up until last night I knew nothing about them. Sorry for the lack of knowledge, but thanks to the awesome help I got the gapps flashed and phone works great! Now onto getting swype working lol
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eyecon82:
The back cover is actually thicker than stock battery cover by 1mm so it also protects the lens that sticks out. Woohoo!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] digitalcoder:
Yeah black one is a better colour than stock too.. Stock black just looks odd... :/
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] datura77:
is there a way to attach belt clip to it?

Also I take it that you guys like it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eyecon82:
not that i can see..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] datura77:
so how do you guys carry it? in a pocket?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eyecon82:
Yep. Usually jacket pocket, scrubs pocket, or white coat pocket.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] j510:
Just saw in person. It does not protect the camera lens any better. It protects it exactly the same. The stock battery just has a "dip" effect surrounding the lens then curves up towards the lens leading it to be exactly the same protection as the sview cover. The sview cover has no "dips" and is just flat all around
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eyecon82:
The stock battery cover, even with the dip exposes the lens to touch first when laid on its back
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] _bottle_:
How thick is this? Samsung site shows it at 11mm thick which is more than the s3 flip cover which is surprising since it is thinner
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMattZ:
Hey guys! :)

I created this thread since I have few questions. I am a newbie, and I want to start porting apps (like the latest apps found in 2012 - 2013 Xperia models) to older 2011 Xperia's, like the LT18i. I have 0 to less knowledge about android developing so I would like to ask whether there are any good guides over the internet? I tried Googling but they all look messed up for me. Would like if someone could link me to some guides perhaps?

Another thing, I downloaded the LT22i (Xperia P) firmware and extracted the system files. I was wondering whether I could flash that whole part of the folder via CWM Recovery and then would everything work on my arc S? (Dumb question, I know - was just curious).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
Go to xda university (webpage)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
The guides look messed up but they aren't. You just have to look closely.

Of coursw not, xperia p has different hardware specs software so different drivers etc, its like asking why a windows-only program doesn't work on a mac.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagofr:
i had the same problem, but then i search a litle and i found all the information i need.

did you already have the bootloader unlocked?

after that you just need to search some kernel and rom a flash it :good:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagofr:
:good:

thanks a fine help :victory:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMattZ:
Alright! Thanks for the information! :)

Thank you for the reply. Yes, my bootloader is unlocked. I'll try going through more search results then.

Thanks for the guides mate! :D Exactly what I needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t2abousa:
I am very happy and relieved that we will be getting a bootloader unlock. Im curious whether it is permanent or if it will be broken if say I decide to return to stock for whatever reason. Thanks. Iv read through most of the posts about it and still not sure :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mike:
I would guess the stock images we get, when we do get them, will include the original bootloader. So, if you returned to stock for any reason I would assume you could simply use the same exploit to take control once again. Not sure about the idea of critical update ota's sent by carriers though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
More importantly...When will people start posting "questions" in the "Q&A" section? ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mike:

I have my device rooted. Is there anyway to block automatic updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mike:
You can freeze the two files that deal with carriers pushing OTA's. I forget the two file names, but I remember seeing it discussed earlier today
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Relys:
I froze:

AT&T Software update V42_1_1303_5_1

FWUpgrade 1.2.0

Is that right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mathieulh:
Keep in mind that the Snapdragon 600 uses Qfuses, therefore any older/compromised version of the bootloader can be permanantly revoked through a software update (and won't ever run again on your phone if they do). Something to be careful of if you ever think of updating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StolenVW:
Only way to update safely will be to flash a updated ROM that a dev releases here after he mods it to be safe to run and keep the unlocked bootloader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mocsab:
I am curouis - I have run custom roms so long I can't remember the process that occurs when updates are avaialble - but my memory is that you are given an option to accept the update if you want - you don't have to download it - is that correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Typically yes...although ive experienced updates where you can only delay the update three times before it forces you to accept

is there any cheat for this game:(??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
We all have them - and it will help ROM devs to know what "the people" want to be changed.

Mine include the clutter in the notification bar, particularly the WiFi Calling item, and the "suggested activities" on plugging in headphones. I'll let you guess which I've already removed.

e: If it's a major missing feature like real lock screen widgets or photo sphere, it probably doesn't belong in this thread, nor does hardware items.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] os91:
You know you can now hide the wifi calling by long pressing on it in the notification bar, going to app info, and clicking to turn off notifications? It removes the icon and keeps your wifi calling intact.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
Widgets. Battery drains I never use.

Stock Samsung colors.

Non-inverted apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saturny:
How about PhotoSphere? I heard it's not on the S4, even though it has 4.2.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
Taken care of, I'm not a themer, I'm not a themer.

That's The Way It Is for now. I should clarify, this thread is for annoying "features" or outright bugs, not missing ones.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lostmimic:
The bloat is my biggest pet peeve like ChatON, ChatON V (I cant even disable that one), Lookout Security, Samsung Apps/store/...well almost all of these that there is a stock version of, TripAdvisor/Travel, most Tmobile apps

Also wish there was a flashlight toggle instead of the adbloated apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] removesstains:
The modified stock browser, i can't use the awesome quick controls found in the labs section of the AOSP browser.

Smart Pause - Highly annoying, i thought that my connection was terrible because youtube kept pausing and i thought it was glitching. Turns out smart pause was on and i figured you could turn in off from the pull down toggle. I thought Smart Stay was the toggle for it. I just figured out today that its hidden deep in there annoying customized setting menu called smart screen. Felt a little dumb when i found it.

I turned off both smart stay and smart pause. both seem like a gimmick and more of an annoyance. Not to impressed by smart scroll either. So turned that off as well.

After using this phone for the past 2 days i am really missing AOKP right now. Big time. I look forward to any AOSP based rom. I rather flash a rom on here that i add to rather then have to dig deep through and pull things out or turn things off to try and make myself satisfied.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lolento:
OMG, it has got to be the inability to get rid of the stock lockscreen widget!!! I like to use somehthing else but it always get back into the picture when I have a notification.....

I miss cyanogenmod, but I feel like if those we're possible on stock 4.2.2 I wouldn't miss it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toleraen:
Heck, I don't mind the notification...I just can't figure out why "T-Mobile My Account", Settings, and Messaging shows up as suggested apps.

+1 on startup/shutdown sounds, disabling the earphone apps

Wondering if it's possible to tweak the sensitivity of Air View. Having caffeinated hands makes this almost useless as I end up just bumping the screen anyway. And I'm probably just an idiot, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to turn on auto-correct with the stock keyboard...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hiazn:
eh, for the most part I'm satisfied with the phone. I read and saw enough reviews to know what to expect. The f'd up part is the internal filesystem /emulator /legacy ..bs.. I found a couple apps dont like that and email has issues with attaching from the filesystem because of it. (unless it's just me, if someone else can verify that)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lord Twilight:
If I set a detailed/busy wallpaper, the icons in the app drawer are harder to distinguish. If the wallpaper partially or fully faded to black or blurred or something I think that would be an improvement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hiazn:
Though is that the fault of the phone or just a bad choice of background for the color scheme? Just sayin :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JimmyTheShovel:
Disabling these sounds is easy if you're rooted. Using ES File Explorer make sure it has write permission enabled for the system folder then go to system/media/audio/ui. From there you can delete or rename the sound files and they will no longer play.

Low battery warning: LowBattery

Battery fully charged: TW_Battery_caution

Well aware; already found all the locations it's in. I promised a full noCIQ and it will be there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prozart:
Me neither! Like the proper suggestion always pops up above the keyboard, but do you really have to actually press it each time? I really like the keyboard for the most part, but I'll have to just use an AOSPish one if there's no auto correct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
