[Q] Can I flash any custom APKs as root ? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi Guys,
I have Superuser app installed and working.
I am wondering if it is possible to pick a Lockscreen app apk from a Custom Rom and replace it in my phone (Copy+Paste).
Will it work as easily like eating a butter ?

It can work, but I think it wouldn't because of different frameworks. Just use a custom rom for your device that offers the style you like or simply try go locker or similar apps from playstore

Thanks for your time to reply.
Just curious, What do you mean by different frameworks ? Do you mean different versions like ICS, JB versions ?

No, the framework is for the "look" of your phone and some basic things. For example there's the sony framework and the stock android framework and that's for example the reason why you can't use some stock sony system apps (or the home.apk) on cyanogenmod

System apps cannot be installed by regular method, because they do not include any signatures (apk files are not signed), thereby Android refuses to install due to security reasons.

Hey uhm there is an app called: Blade Buddy. It says that it enables hardware acceleration, which is needed for chrome. I don't know if it helps, but maybe it's a solution?
Thanks btw. I've been waiting for a long time for MIUI and so have others (I think).

Well I flashed Part 1, It booted. The only is I think it's in Chinese and I don't speak/understand it :/ SO how can I translate this to english?
[EDIT]
Settings>Scroll to bottom click keyboad letter "A">Touch first option>Select language
I love this ROM personally. However...
The bootlogo is "flashy" and too child-like for me. I'd like to have a simple bootlogo with MIUI and it like glows or something. Is there a way I can do this?
Is this ROM compatible with the US Galaxy 5.0? Because I can't use my Home, Settings, and Back keys for some reason...

I believe noisyfox made a zip patch that makes it possible for usa to use intl roms and for intl users to use usa roms. Not sure though. You can find his thread in this section of the forum.

Seems like you need to already have it installed, at least for me. I installed the app found in an XDA thread and it's not telling me that my phone is unsupported, so I guess this X-posed module works, the trick is getting Home installed because the Play Store still says it's incompatible.

By Theme I think you mean the launcher? Right? As for the music player, you can easily obtain the apk from system apps on a rooted Samsung ROM. You can simply download a stock Samsung ROM that you like, extract and steal the apks! Lock screen... Not too sure, it may be a system app? If not Go Locker and apps like that have themes and are a lot more customisable for a ROM! I was interested in making a ROM too, so let me know if you do ^_^

Samsung "apps" require twframework to run ..It's proprietary so it cant be ported..
Try using theming apps ,e.g,golauncher + touchwiz theme,miui music player with Samsung look... And I think there is touchwiz lookalike notification panel somewhere in themes section ...
There are also two "touchwiz" roms in dev section ,check them out and ask the Rom author or team up with him ...

can u suggest which base to use??
cm or stock??
Thats your choice...
You will get more peeps with stock Ics/gb base ..since they are compatible with both bootloaders...
Cm roms are compatible with only unlocked bootloaders...

[Q]How to replace Borwser to samsung's in PAC-man ROM

Hi all,
I want to install the samsung's browser in pac-man rom as I found out that the saved pages from samsung's borwser is not compatible with the AOSP one, so i have to use samsung's to access those pages.
I've tried to replace the apk in system/app directly (yes, I have pay attention on the permission), modify and flash a zip file which was used to replace the samsung's to AOSP (just change the apk inside, of course, resigned) , have also wipe the cache and dalvik cache
Anyony have other ideas?

No you can't use a Samsung browser or any other app from Samsung in a AOSP rom.
Those apps need the touchwiz framework so won't work on AOSP.

I would doubt that you can install the framework in PAC, you need a Samsung based rom.
