[Application] HomeCustomizer for SONY ICS ROMs - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

​
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 !

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.

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.

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...
Anyway Im really looking forward for the full version...

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..

Hi! 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.

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
Envoyé depuis mon Xperia Arc S.

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.

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.

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 !

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 ! As I am testing many things now..
Maybe tomorrow !
Will let you know..
EDIT : Testing 5x4Desktops, have a look :

There's a problem I need to solve before releasing HomeCustomizer.
I did add Changes Logs on the webpage if someone's interested..

I think he's asking for the home.apk with 5x4 desktop mod in your screenshot not the home customizer itself Just clarifying things out

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 ^^

[ROM][THEME] Cyanoginger 1.1 final (^^,) 12/29/2010

Hello guys, for those who saw my post in the themes and apps section here it is and for those who dont know what im talking about well this is a gingerbread themed cm6.1.1 stable with some other stuff added while we wait for cm7.
I recommend doing a wipe prior to flashing this since there are some people getting bootloops cause they flashed on top of what they were running... so WIPE and then flash this.
INSTALL THIS AT YOU OWN RISK, im not responsable for anything that happens to your phone or if you just jizz in your pants when you see how awesome this theme is xD
Changelog:
Version 1.1:
-Changed/mixed animations
-Fixed little error in kb and themed it green
-Browser has black nav bar
-Changed a lot of icons (thanks miguel)
-Pulldown bar is grey. more nexus s style.
version 1.0 (Full rom)
-Optimized framework
-New bootanimation
-Gingerbread theme (lockscreen, pulldown bar, notification bar, wallpaper)
-Themed phone, contacts and browser to match
-New fonts nexus s like.
-New animations (not gingerbread, this one)
-Added some green highlights when you select something instead of the defaullt orange
-Gingerbread keyboard.
-New market, new youtube (old news) and new gmail i think.
-Gingerbread launcher
-Theme for launcher pro (CHECK 4th POST FOR ICONS)(Launcher pro not included)
-MIUI music (see screenshot... i like it i dont know about you)
-Oh and i almost forgot.. adfree (hosts file updated)
Stuff removed:
-Maps are not included, download from market or backup with titanium before flashing this.
-I think thats it...
Credits and thanks goes mainly to Cyanogen and #teamdouch for giving us something to play with, brswattt for the original theme, krispy for the fonts and some framework files, to migueltherocker and htcclay for helping me fix the colors on the fonts and big thanks to all the xda community/devs/slide owners and supportive people in this forum

Wp7 makeover!!!..lock,wp facebook,dialer,keyboard,peoplehub,music,interface

okay, am a noob so be gentle if i go wrong or violate any rule
in this post, i would mention some apps to get as close to WP7 interface as possible.
none of the applications attached in this post is made by me. each of them are collected from internet. if i violate any rule, feel free to warn me.
1) WP Lock - the windows phone lock imitates the WP7 style on Android it's fairly light (63 kb only)...also has missed call and message count like WP7 lock
2) Interface - i use Launcher 7 as it not only supports 2X1 horizontal tiles, but also 1X2 vertical tiles and widgets which is pretty awesome METRO UI is also good (it has a better WP7 statusbar than Launcher 7) both these launchers support "LIVE" tiles of Contacts (displaying pics of your contacts), counts missed calls, unread SMS/MMS, unread Mail count, etc.
3) PEOPLE HUB & DIALER - The App attached here ("people hub") imitates the "contacts" interface of WP7..the WP7 dialer is also featured here..looks pretty good
4)PhotoSafariPro - the WP7 style Gallery for android...the only downside is it dosen't allow multi touch...but there is a nice "film" interface
5) Music - there are many imitating the WP7 music player but the 1 which suits the QVGA resolution of our X10 mini is UBER MUSIC
6) Keyboard - the WP7 keyboard....this keyboard is also available in blue colour if you want, just surf up google
7) FACEBOOK - the FB has got the awesome "live tile" (like) look
if I helped you, kindly press the "THANKS" button
Thanx mate PM me ur fb link...
Aaaaaawwwweeee.......................some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah that is pretty good i will test and give feedback
it will be nice to see some screenshots.

and i am already searching for the WP7 mms/sms style for quite sometime now...will keep you updated if i find something ......anyway, thanks for taking your precious time and testing these apps, thanks
i found mms.apk, contact.apk, phone.apk allmost everything styled in WP7 for android but it is made for Galaxy S I9000 so if someone know how to comile it to our phone will be great

Porting GingerZaraki to the Mini

Hey guys I'm RohinZaraki of the X8 forums...recently i started developing my own rom; GingerZaraki and since then, I've had 3 PM's asking me to port this rom for the Mini...and I even recieved this...so I wanted to ask you guys, would you really want this ROM for your phones and if so, are there any experienced testers here ? I don't know anyone here so I can't handpick Beta testers like i did in the X8 forums..if I see people interested in wanting this ROM for the Mini, this thread will be turned into a disscussion thread for the rom till it's released in the Dev section Btw, I have a 2 week break so you better make your decision fast so I can start my work early
Hope to hear from you guys soon
-RZ
P.S. No trolling or flamming...
Test builds
This is where I'm going to post test builds for you guys to test and report .
Build 1-Based on GingerZaraki V02. Bugs : Lags, no torchlight option, no squash imput keyboard.
Build 2-Changes : Added squash imput, Added torch.apk, merged and added many tweaks from my unreleased V03 test build to help with the lags. Bugs : ??? (Awaiting testers)
Kernel?
Hi bro and thanks to port this rom but,
is for stock or nAa Kernel?

I'm done with the rom...idk if it'll even boot...anyone willing to test ?

Nice work!
Install: OK
Boot: OK
Works: OK
Bugs: Longpress Homebutton on lockscreen to turn on flashlight does not work
Profile option in settings-menu is misaligned (small annoyance really, see screenshot)
Gallery feels slow and unresponsive (don't know why, it's the same as on other roms and it usually works fairly smooth)
Every now and then the UI is unresponsive, it detects all presses you do, but reacts very late, so if you press a second time because an option or app doesn't react immediately, it will send you through to whatever that option or app expects from a tap in that same area. (hope that I explain myself clearly enough)
Overall impression: fairly smooth, clean, basic CM7
Suggestion: Add SE Squashiinput (or other clean t9) keyboard, standard android full qwerty keyboard is a pain on our small screen.
edit: Desperately missing Homescreen/Appdrawer options, dock is locked, so not able to change the apps launched from there (I use my messaging app more than the browser, so i want to change that)

Thanks so much ok for the torch bug, im not too sure, may have to port the feature from a X10 Mini rom. As for the launcher, its stock 2.3 launcher so there's no customization for it you can easily download a new one from the play store As for the t9 keyboard, I'll see what i can do and as for the unresponsiveness, there has been many performance tweaks and modifications to my X8 version since the one i posted here i'll be sure to merge and implement those tweaks in the 2nd build
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
You might want to consider posting this rom in the x10 mini development section
I will I just wanted to make sure there are people interested in the ROM first. Plus, the Mods said you can open a thread in the general section to plan developing something ...plus i need to know if it works in the 1st place
@Everyone else : Expect a 2nd test build soon
Uploading Build 2 What to expect ; Added squash imput, Added torch.apk, merged and added many tweaks from my unreleased V03 test build to help with the lags
Build 2 is up please test and report

NEW UPDATES!!!!! NOW BASED ON XPERIA Z!!!
Below keyboards are designed for ICS 4.0.3(untested) and 4.0.4 .431(untested) and .587(tested working) only, they will not work on Gingerbread
After much testing, and reinstalling apk multi-tool and the SDK, I now have the installation working!!
NOW NEW UPDATES REQUIRE 2 ZIPS. THIS IS TO INSURE THAT IT THEMES CORRECTLY AS I STILL EXPERANCED PROBLEMS
YOU WILL FIRST FLASH A "BASE PACK" THEN WHATEVER THEME YOU WANT
DO NOT USE THE 2 STEP WITH MY OLDER THEMES, IT WILL NOT WORK!!!!.ONLY FOR XPERIA Z BASED THEMES!!!
BASE PACK DOWNLOAD http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?caj1a24wgx2095l
All files are zipaligned.
SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS ARE WELCOMED!

On Slanted Trans, please note, some apps put a "shadow" underneath the keyboard, eliminating the transparent effect
Known apps to have this annoyance: Google Search, Play Store,You Tube,Stock Browser,Gmail, Xda Premium, Root Explorer, Boat Browser, may be others.( thanks ajgftw!) I'm trying to find a soultion, but I think it's with the apps not the keyboard. If anyone can shed any light on this, let me Know!:laugh:

I have some others, work in progress, I'll take requests, but I may be a bit slow, as I work nights, and I need to sleep sometimes!:laugh:
Also if anyone can confirm that they work on .431 and 4.0.3 .562 I'll add to this post.
The Keyboards In "Attached Files" are for Gingerbread only, and are no longer in devlopment as I have no means to test them, sorry

Try the one from Iridaki's thread, links in the first post
I'll post the font I'm using later. I needed to mod it so the star didn't get cut off in dialpad
EDIT: Font attached. Please note this is NOT a flashable zip. Extract and install using your own method
Enjoy!

New version!
Blue swipe tail!
See first post
yeah for ics you need official rom. Doesn't work on nordic or others. Tried on nordic and doesn't show.
If you can provide textinput-tng.apk I can try to mod it to your liking
awesome works on ics tweaked v3
I really like this, just installed v3. I couldn't get swype beta to install on my phone running arconium 3c and now I don't think I will bother.
I know your only paying with colours and fonts atm, but are you thinking about playing with the design and layout of they key board?
Sent from my LT15i.
Well, I'm not too hot with xml editing, but I'll give it a shot
Your post had me thinking, maybe I could try oval shape keys, or even no keys, just letters
Been busy this week as kids have been on half term holidays. Should have more time to try out next week.
I have a red version ready to post, and an also finishing off an Ics standard kb atm
Let me know your thoughts, I'll see what I can come up with when I get a chance to play.
Well my first official suggestion / request for you if you venture down the design mod path is:
If you could arrange to keys on the number screen to be like the attached screenshot.
I find it much easier to enter numbers, bank accounts etc into emails and msgs with the traditional numpad layout.
I obviously know zero about modding a keyboard, maybe it's not easy to rearrange keys.... Haha but if your keen that would awesome.

New Uploads in first post!!!!!
New uploads
1st one is the international keybord as per my first uploads, but with red highlights insted of blue
2nd one is the stock ICS 4.0.3 Keyboard a.k.a Xperia Keyboard (the one with voice input from keyboard option) themed in a holoesque style
Let me know what you think
Please insure you do backups (either nandroid or extract your current one)
Also restart after install if you do it manually and change input when you have rebooted
Many thanks and I'm waiting to hear your opinions

Iif it helps
Well..... I don't know.
All I can say if zip not working, try manual.
Maybe clearing data from app may help, and if installing manually backup to sd card than delete the apk in system then replace with correct permissions.
Seems to be ok for me
I'm running version 4.0.3, baseband 70, 4.1.A.0.563
Never flashed a kernel locked boitloader, rooted using doomlords method
Zip works for me, sorry if it's not working for you, can't understand why.
I really want to share my work with you all, but am not too informed when it comes to these things.
Hope I've helped somewhat.
For the reference of others interested in installing this, this worked 100% on my phone. Please see attached image for my current setup.

The new one is working fine!!

You can use TWRP recovery. Yesterday i used it myself.
And I forgot to say something more about this rom. I tested it for whole week.
This is ready for daily use. Good battery, smooth and really fast.
But there are some issues with current aplication list.
For example: Antek Quicksettings are good, but you should not kill proces(long home button...) because they will stop working and you need to start them again.
Also i next release there will be Holo Locker included, because I hate that status bar can be scrolled down even if device is locked. I took phone in pocket and sometimes i accidentally start wifi or called somebody because of this.
Xperia keyboard is not too very good. Width is ok, but height is not so good, at least for me. Any idea for some other keyboard? On 4.2 JB keyboard there was not fuctional swype, so i deleted it. Stock Samsung keyboard is not suitable for me too.
Next release will be probably at friday, maybe earlier.
And I almost forgot to thx Benz0nator for his advices how to make rom. Thanks man.
Nice work!

How to install it? What to wipe?
Sent from my ST21i using xda app-developers app
Hi mate! Do you think it might work on L version?
Just wipe and install.
And it should work on L version, but i did not test it I dont have L version.
But i abandoned this project because there is now CM 10 or CM10.1 and those are much better.
