Can someone help me about this thread, how to add more homescreens in stock home launcher?

I know what to change in script, but how to decompile and compile apk again?

Apk Manager didn't work..

<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer> can be edited, but theres no <style name="Layout.ButtonContainer">

The tutorial you showed is dated 2011, I think the newest Home does not contain the <style name="Layout.ButtonContainer">. line.

Anyway, I edited the <integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer> line for you, give it a try, maybe it works.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I was try apk on emulator on pc, original sony home.apk works fine, but when i try to install this modified i receive error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES .. (should be signed or something?)

Same error i have earlier when i modified this with ''apk editor'' from playstore, so i doubt it will work now..

Second line not exist, i guess you should change only this: <integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer>

It would be great if you can change this to 15..

EDIT:

I somehow managed to sign apk, after i install i have 15 panes by default, but after i delete them, i can't add them again..
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
Sorry, forgot to sign it :D

Well I cant do anything with it.

So I decided to build a "custom" kernel for E1, so we can atleast improve the CM11 port, but I haven't got any luck so far :D

Edit:

So what If everything is successful?

I will take a look at Motorola's MSM8610 kernel, and compare it to our kernel to make it compatible with CM11 atleast, this includes RIL (I really hope we can fix that), and performance

Gonna upload it on github if everything goes well

Building CM11 is still out of the question, we still don't have a working device tree and vendor blobs

Just replaced the stock Calculator, Calendar and Clock with the Cyanogen ones, phone's a bit faster and uses less battery.
[Sony Xperia E1] dzzope:
Hey guys, simply looking to unlock my E5, can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do?

Do I need to root it or can I just flash on a custom rom?

If I can just flash it can anyone point me to a good stock rom that will allow all the buttons (music button) to work.. I'm looking for something that will be light and efficient but require minimal / no upkeep as this is going to someone totally no-tech and I'm unfamiliar with much of the intricacies.

If someone want's to save memory you can try this keyboard, it use only 6mb or less. I modified it so it looks better..
[Sony Xperia E1] NemoCoOW:
Does it support emojis? If so, how do I access it? I can't see it
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
It have standard smileys when you hold on OK button..

I think to add some emojis, but would that use more ram?

Edit:

I added 1 emoji, and keyboard now use 8mb when you access it, if you don't access emoji popup, it use only 3.4mb.

So i think it's not good idea..

I will try to keep memory around 7-8mb if possible and add emoji..

*Keyboard is something that use a large amount of memory and it's always active, android task killer never kill keyboard, so if we want to reduce memory usage we need light keyboard.

Mizo keyboard is only i find to use 6mb when it's in active state, and memory drops to 3,4 when it's not...

Also it looks good.

Download the latest version of flashtool, and check for drivers

Emma doesn't have support for E1
[Sony Xperia E1] image45:
I have flashed current kit Kat build on to my various Sony E1's using Emma, so I would have assumed that means E1 is supported. Last I used Emma to flash a bootloader unlocked phone the open source true recovery portion was not available like it I'd for E3 device.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Funny

If you check Emma's support page you can only find M2, E2, and T2 (all 2014 Qualcomm devices), but not E1

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/KitKat/AOSP-and-Lollipop-for-Xperia-E1/m-p/1132652#U1132652

I think I understand now

The SOC E1 uses (MSM8610), is unsupported by AOSP

Not just E1, all other Snapdragon 200 devices such as Moto E, however they can't make E1 into the AOSP program because It would require massive changes to the AOSP code, which apparently the AOSP program doesn't support

They don't ignore E1 because It is weak, because of it's chipset, and not just E1, all other devices.

So what's the solution to our problem?

Struggle with the device tree and kernel to make a stable and fast ROM, that's how they did with Moto E, but It is officially supported by CyanogenMod because it is popular, compared to E1, E1 is a very low end phone that no one buys because of it's low RAM

Now If they would have released Xperia E1 II with 1GB RAM and 5MP camera, that would be a different story
[Sony Xperia E1] nvt992:
LG L70 is also an unpopular device with exactly same CPU with our E1, It even does not have a sub forum like our E1. Guest what, it has a CM13 stable rom.:eek:
[Sony Xperia E1] :
This sounds very bad, but is very non sense make things partially 'open source' and say 'we not will provide sources because AOSP not support it', my reason is WTF, why not provide all this **** totally ****ed for all fix.

Sorry, but it is not a good motive to explain this.

LG L III Series - From L30 to L90 have a lot of devices, and L70 is a mid end
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Yes, this is a dumb move from Sony

I think this was the last time I ever bought a Sony phone :)
[Sony Xperia E1] nvt992:
L70 is a low-end, I think so. L90 was a mid-end when it came out. I do not know why, I bought L70 and L90 after my E1. Then I sold both of them and came back to xperia E1. :highfive:

Do people even use this phone anymore? I moved on to the s5 plus

I could sell my older PC to buy a new phone + Sell Xperia E1 for 36-37$ but it doesn't worth it.

I know how u feel. I couldn't afford a new phone so I sold electronic devices in my house to CEX and bought this.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I would do the same If I would have a lots of unused good electronics.

Unfortunately, I don't.

We already maxed out the potentional in E1 with Stock ROM mods, but that won't do. Hopefully CM11 will change the destiny of this "Devil" phone

Hello,

Since the KitKat update, I can't install APKs any more. Install from unknown sources is checked in the settings, but when I try to install an APK, the install button is blocked. I also don't have any screen adjuster or anything like it installed. Please help me quickly :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, I already uninstalled every program that makes a screen overlay.

OK, I found a workaround in that thread. I connected my keyboard and was able to select the install button. Thanks mate.

Instructions:

Buy a Gear Fit

Connect the Gear Fit to your computer.

Download KIES and install it.

Follow the prompts to update the Gear Fit.

Link: http://www.samsung.com/levant/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP

Install the first APK from the downloads below.

Open the app you just installed.

Go through the setup again on your device.

Install the second APK below (not mandatory).

You're done!

If you have a Samsung device running a custom ROM, read the third section below.

Get Fit Apps Working (Optional):

THIS PART REQUIRES ROOT AND EDITING SYSTEM FILES. IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, SKIP THIS PART.!

Open your build.prop with a text editor.

Edit the following values:

ro.product.model=GT-I9505

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SM-900S

ro.product.device=SM-900S

Reboot and now apps like Gear Calendar, Quick settings, Strava...etc. should work.

Samsung Devices With Custom ROMs:

THIS PART REQUIRES ROOT AND EDITING SYSTEM FILES. IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, SKIP THIS PART.!

Open your build.prop in any text editor. Root Explorer works well, or whatever you're used to using.

Change the "Samsung" in "ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung" to anything else. HTC, LG, asdf, anything is fine. :)

This stops the force closing. You're done!

I didn't make the APK, I just took it from the S5, so it should work. Maybe it doesn't work on AOSP roms. The only phones I confirmed it working on are the ones in the OP.

[Samsung Gear Fit] Baka no Kami:
I was able to do the update on a Nexus 5 with an older version of the manager and then upgrading. Using 1.25 it paired then tried to start the update. The update only went about 4 percent before stopping. I stopped the manager on the Nexus, but this left the Fit in update mode. Installed 1.49 and tried to pair it again. It went through the update fine and the Fit rebooted. After that the Nexus immediately paired with it.

The only trouble I've been having is with the fitness app. It doesn't seem to actually pull any info from the Fit. When I go in to the settings and try to look at my profile it crashes.

Any idea if this will work w/ Moto devices? I have a Note 3 I can do the prelim on and then I want to get a Fit for my wife's Droid Maxx. I also have a Gear 2 Neo I can test w/ it, but as I understand they're different OS so maybe not a good test to see if Fit works without actually having one. If anyone else can try I'd appreciate it.

Edit: NVM, I had forgotten the Fit doesn't have the mic and speaker. WHHHHHYYYYYY Samsung??!?!!! It would have been the first smartwatch suitable for females who don't want the big bulky bezel, except you gimp it by not giving it the handy feature my wife was actually interested in. The other ones are too big. Heck I would have gone w/ a Fit myself if it had it as I'm still on the fence on keeping my Neo.

So I looked at the post you were referring to. What that post is doing is editing the database in which Samsung stores the text message replies. For them, the app crashes when you try to edit the preset replies. For us, it doesn't. I can add as many replies as I want (screenshot attached) without it crashing. Our problem is that it doesn't send anything. I don't think that's going to be fixed until someone figures out how to port the touchwiz messaging.apk to other phones. Sorry guys.
[Samsung Gear Fit] prtl:
you never have to say sorry. you are helping those who are using this without samsung devices and all your time that you spend on this is appreciated! I am glad that so much does work
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
Guys,

There's one thing I don't understand: with all the differences between Gear 2 / Neo and Fit and the fact they use different Gear Manager software, the Gear 2 setup tutorial starts with setting up Samsung account service and Samsung apps on the phone which has nothing to do with the wearable variant. Why don't you guys give it a go and see if, after having it set up, you maybe finally able to sync your Gear Fit info into the account?

Start from scratch, wipe the device clean to eliminate any noise!

Another thing, after you set up Samsung Apps connected to Samsung account, why don't you download the latest Gear Fit Manager and Fitness for Gear from there?
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
I don't understand : you suggest to restart from a clean stock ROM andò try first of all create Samsung account and than from Samsung app download gear fit manager and fitness ?
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
Exactly, this is how we made it work with Gear 2 / Neo.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
do you have sync gear 2 fitness data with fitness with gear ?
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
Yes, see the attached.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
i've already tried it : i start from my nexus 5 root stock, and istalling samsung service and samsung app i've create samsung account, then i download from samsung app gear fit manager and fitness with gear, but when i try to sync with fitness with gear it says "sync disable" and from the option of the phone the account can't be sincronized
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
When you opened "Fitness for Gear" for the first time, did it ask you to link it to your Samsung Account? Theoretically, this should work even without installing Gear Manager or Gear Fit Manager, so I don't understand why there would be any difference...

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

If it didn't, you probably haven't done the Samsung Apps and Samsungservice installations the right way. Samsung Apps apk needs to be MANUALLY COPIED (not installed!) into /system/app, and Samsungservice.apk needs to be also manually copied to /system/priv-app, with owner set to root:root and permissions set to 644. See the guide in the Gear 2 forum for more details.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
yes it asked to link with samsung account, but when i touch one of the four point (pedometer, sleep, ecc..) it says "no data : you must sync your samsung account to show the data"
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
And does the top right menu have "Sync Now" option? What's under "Settings"? Do you have "Account and sync settings" there? If yes, what is there when you tap on it? Is it anyhow different from the screenshot I posted?
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
here is what i see in the app
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
What do you see when you tap on the "Impostazioni account e sincronizzazione"?
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
when i click on sync now nothing happens and appears the same screen i have post before
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
And you're saying you're using the latest versions of "Gear Fit Manager" and "Fitness for Gear" downloaded from Samsung Apps?

There are two possible additional exploration paths:

There is a couple of additional apps installed when Samsung service is invoked for the first time. For some reason, we've seen these don't get automatically installed on non-Sense 6 devices. I'm attaching these APKs to this post. Try just installing them the normal way, if you don't have them already.

There is also a possibility Samsung Account doesn't synchronise with Italian apps. Do you want to change your device language to English and give it a go?
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
oki'm tying to istall the apk and change the language, just 2 minute....

No... I already have these three app, but I tried to reinstall and change language but nothing change
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
First, do one thing at a time:o

Second, don't forget to reboot your device after you install these APKs.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
Done, it doesn't work..

I will try to restast from the top by reflash stock nexus ROM.

Just a last little question: when I restart with all stock the right sequence is:

- build prop modification than reboot

-Move Samsung app in system with right permission, than reboot

-move Samsung service in price app with permission and reboot.

-Download fitness with gear and gear fit manager

Right?
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
First, I don't like the way build.prop is modified in this thread, kind of inconsitent (GT-I9505 and SM-G900 are different devices). Do it as in Gear 2 thread:

ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
ro.product.model=GT-I9500
ro.product.brand=Samsung

Second, you don't need to reboot twice when you push Samsung Apps and Samsungservice. Also, get them from the Gear 2 thread, just to make sure we're on the same page.

Good luck!
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
Thanks!!

I'll try and I'll tell you the result.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
This won't work. The fit manager will crash. There's a reason I made it like that.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Have the same problems as riffetto90.

Have a S3 Mini modified to HTC One via the build.prop and installed Gear Fit Manager, S Health Lite und Samsung Service.apk on my phone. But i can not connect my Samsung Account to the S Health Lite App. I think thats a general problem (Custom ROM) and not just because of the language or something else.
