Any way to get the old xperia theme engine back? - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

Any way to get the old theme engine back?
Where you can skin the buttons, backgrounds etc (just like xz2 and previous devices)

Don't believe you can. I thought I read it was an Android P limitation.

XZ2 is also on Android P and it has themes...

Here is the reason its not available any more. I would like to have the option back also.

So only devices after xz3 won't have themes... I guess we have to wait for root and recovery and someone to port it back

They are only for high activity forums but i am sure as the forum grows you will get one.
I have a general question.
I know from videos, that microUSB plug is angled. When cable is plugged in, does the cable go towards the top of the phone, or bottom. I think it is top, but myself would prefer bottom.

I haven't tried the cable which came with Xperia S but still using my arc's cable. That goes to bottom and you could rotate the flap totally toward the top if you like.
EDIT: so I took the Xperia S cable and cable goes towards the top. still ok if you rotate the flap. Maybe going up makes more sense since it will be out of your way at the bottom. If you don't like it get an arc's cable.
How is your charging speed?
Hi guys! My charger with some info: output: 5.0 vdc, 850 mA, i did some charge, but there was no sign of "speed charging", it always took 2 to 3 hours to full charge.
How about your?
Anyone Knows?
1. Is the original Timescape Widget is hidden somewhere?
2. Why there isn't a Mass Storage mode? (Or is there, really )
3. The full screen caller photo is no longer there, right? (Or did I mess it up?)
4. In Arc, the backlight widget can lower the screen brightness to min and max it up to the point you select in under the settings --> Display. Why not S don't do that? (Or is there, a setting for that?)
5. Is it me or everyone... The touch sensitive buttons aren't that sensitive.. after all?
More questions might come
I cant find how to make a video call!

Yes there is Timescape widget.
I don't see a Mass Storage mode and it's strange.
I assume it should be there.

I don't think android supports native video calls (correct me if I'm wrong ). So it's nothing to do with the phone.

Guys I wanted to ask do you have to use live wallpapers or can you have normal wallpapers that do not drain your battery.
You can definitely use static wallpapers.
Press menu while on home screen and wallpaper option will pop up.

Porting Xperia NXT apps

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520456
looking at update 4.5 in particular... the dialer works like a charm, even the improved contactsprovider too and smartsearch all work
SEMCPhone has signal, but inside it's all HDPI files, therefore giving FC when making/recv'ing calls... if anyone can port just that file to our phone it would be great. even in that thread ppl are saying that SEMCPhone is giving FC
i've flashed it AFTER REMOVING the entire framework folder from the zip file due to obvious reasons... using SDE ROM now...
tks in advance

hmm not too sure then maybe it does something else... oh well it's too small to take up a lot of space anyway
anyone have experience if it work on cm7?
regards SafiXS
read above we're both using the files from 4.5 and the Phonebook.apk from 1.1, minus semcphone and the entire framework folder, just remove them from the zipfile... haven't tried the others tho since they're not important anyway
the SEMCPhone from 1.1 will have no signal and the one from 4.5 is made for HDPI which will give FC
They work on every gingerbread but you need infinite view(not 100% sure)
But as far as I know it works with any framework
Also the calendar from the same thread is alot better(although in landscape looks a lil' weird)

ah ok~ have u tried the 3D Earth LWP yet? n i'm still trying to find a proper version of the NXT's digital clock widget... all the current ones have overlapping issues

Dude, if you search well, you will notice that somewhere in that post is a fix to semcphone.apk
I want to give this a try but I'm not using SDE ROM. Is it possible?
Or do I need the frameworks of SDE? :\
PS
Btw, I've been trying to DL SDE but Uploaded.to is so f^#$# up.
Can't even download the file.

tks, but if u read my posts properly u would know that i'm well capable of fixing it myself
just locate the original file from my rom zip file and push it back in
i don't want a "fix"... since the OP all i've been saying is if someone can port over SEMCPhone that looks like the one in 4.5 which only has hdpi stuff in it... not the one with the 4 corners, which, incidentally, is included in the 1.1 update

Yes its very nice
And its not widgets fault actually is because of the launcher with dock
Try to use bakabon's xperia s widgets and look in xperia mini/pro/active T&A for the xperia s launcher

can use for 4.04? ?

later will see somebody at dev forum will have for xxx rom with nxt app, with tweak etc like the ios app threads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can notice that you're using SDE ROM.
Will this flashable zip works with CM7 if I remove the framework?
Anyways I'm going to try it after removing framework from the zip.
i don't think so, unless u manage to find all the necessary SEMC libs required for most of those stuff to run...
Well last SemcDebrandEngine has really good performance will try this now!
I don't think it would work apart from stock SE 2.3 update(which X8 do not have) but the widgets might work :/
I am talking about CM roms (not SDE)
Here is working semcphone for SemcDebrandEngine.

- Stock based CM9
- CRT animation
- access torch on lockscreen pushing home button
It will be for sure compatible with locked bootloader n,n and about lockscreen we are thinking to put addons on the new thread then you guys can download a mod and install it to have another lockscreen theme or another addon's "in future"
Would also live to see option to switch songs by pressing volume buttons...

Making it usable with a locked bootloader would be great.
I love your most recent version of Iced Bean, but I have two issues: First, even though the two correct .apk files for themes are in the app folder (i.e. 'ThemeManager' and 'DefaultThemes') when you set a theme it doesn't appear to work.
The second (slightly more serious) issue is that it doesn't seem to be possible to enable data access via mobile network. In other words, the only way I can access the internet via my phone is via WiFi.
Has anyone else had these issues I wonder?

That issue is only from you try re installing your DefaulTthemes.apk and clear cache of it or just wait on next update there would be more DefaultThemes on addons n,n and about your second problem yes maybe thats of cause of removed bloatware i really don't know why but you can do it... just search for your setting like for me was: Googe: datos perfiles de internet. in your case just search your profiles like: Google: internet profiles "your company" and that's all n,n
P.d: It would be for locked bootloader too

Samsung Themes and Always On Display

I wonder why the tablet doesn't support Samsung themes nor always on display like the smartphones does?
Uh, me also. Always on you can rwach easily, but themes...
No way, must be recompiled system, if any strong developer is interested - je vmcan probably do it, but no one is interested.
