Is there a way to run the phonebook.apk from the stock firmware on free x10. I am really found of it. I am sure som1 can edit it to get it working, that would be gr8.

i don't think it's possible, i think i read that the only way to run Sony apps is with the source code for each app. i don't know much about how the software works, so i would love to be proven wrong.
i too am fond of the stock Xperia phone book, i liked many of the stock apps, even though it took its share of resources, i liked timescape a lot
I'm not saying its not possible(Its highly unlikely), but its useless, it wont be able to pull up the background picture without the framework and your running a different ROM for a reason, right?...
(sorry to hijack your thread) but what about the keyboard? I like that as well...
Phonebook i'm not so sure... its linked to Timescape right...the status updates and stuff
Hello!
There is a problem on X10, but it seems that nobody cares about it. I've done fully research, but even on general service, they don't know how to resolve it. Or maybe i'm just hallucination.
After the upgrade to android 2.1, the buttons on same apps with light UI are too dark. I attached pictures of regular app (COL reminder), but this is problem on any, even integrated apps (gmail).
Is there any solution to fix it, because SE seems that just carry to about how to prevent root and doing nothing about real problems.
Regards, Zagor
P.S. Really, I have glasses, but also X10i, 2.0.2.a.0.24-rooted, dualtouch with just step 2, without JIT, because I like battery icon, when my phone is charging
Did you resize these pictures?
It might be the dpi setting on you display..
Hello OmegaRed!
Yes, I've resized them, but just because of XDA upload limit. I did them with MyPhoneExplorer.
So, this is problem with my display, because you asking me this, or is it same with yours?
Regards, Zagor
Newbie here!
Just installed Uber Z RC3-1 and encountered no issues in the process. However, I've noticed the following issues and hoping someone can point me to a solve:
The PEOPLE app does a force close each time I try to open any contact
Apps installed after Uber Z (like Y Messenger and Key Ring) also do a force close upon opening
I'd appreciate any help with these issues. Aside from that, the ROM rocks and I'm very happy with it. Thanks.....
Have you tried updating to the RC3-2, or reading the devs change-log to see if it was addressed previously, and possibly corrected in the update?
thanks for the reply! I saw references for Uber Z RC3-2, but never found a link to it. Can you direct me? Thanks...

Thanks for the link! I'll try to flash that tonight.
I was a bit confused by the suggestions to 'grab a Battery icon, or a font mod'? Can you translate that for this newbie?? Sorry if I seem like a dolt!
Font mods change the font of text on the phone, and the battery icon mods change the look (mostly color) of the battery icon in the notification bar.
I believe for Uber Z stock color is grey, I normally install green, which is Sense' thing.
hello. i have little problem with camera in miui rom, latest version. i just bought desire s so i flash from stock rom. this lag isn t only in miui camera but in camera fx too, so i think it is in all camera apps.any ideas?
Which kernel are you using? I used to find it pretty swift using the Tiamat kernel.
Settings > About Phone >
Should have something along the lines of Cyanogen or Tiamat, I'm guessing its Cyanogen, only because I know most of the AOSP ROMs use it.
2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod [email protected] *1
Try switching some settings off even, but if not, definitely try the tiamat kernel.
http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_saga/
i have disabled some graphic features, flashed that kernel but still lagging
Give Galnet a shot, with a combination of Tiamat.
http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/weekly-builds/
It was the one combination I ran on the Desire S flawlessly, and thoroughly enjoyed.
didnt help too. i read somewhere that this lagging is on some older desire s. very bad to shoot photos but possible, but making video is such a pain i love this rom so i will wait if some sollution appear later. thx anyway
edit: not old but new desire s could have this problem
No offence, but I wouldn't hold your breathe. The HTC Desire S probably won't get the attention it needs, as it doesn't really stand out from the crowd.
Awesome device, but over shadowed by many of the giants that are approaching.
I've never had any problems with the camera being slow on mine. But I don't know what you would consider appropriate. At the same time though, mine is currently an expensive alarm clock.
some new thoughts. it doesnt lag like about 1 second after start camera app. it doesnt lag neither when i set timer . for 5 counting seconds is camera smooth. it was also quite smooth when i opened camera and i received force close window about app Talk. so if it could work good at least in 5 seconds count there must be way how to make it works.
hi guys! Same problem. I bought the brand new Desire S. Make it S-off, root, 4ext recovery.
i flash the latest MIUI and the same problem here with camera and video playback!
i figured how it lags - when animation of ui is running - video playback is running to. When animation of ui elements stops - video playback (and camera playback) stops too!!! Try to touch the elements of user interface when camera stops!
It seems that in new models of desire video driver works differently.
I tried to flash all versions of stock roms - the problem was gone.
But with latest cyanogen kernel, all versions of tiamat kernel i got same problem!
It is only one custom kernel with this lags gone - it is UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14_OC2016_UV900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_NOOP_EXT4_2WCR_VDD_SAGA3.zip
But with miui and this kernel wifi stops working normally and video playback to, but camera works great!
May be some specialists in this questions make differences in above kernels and differentiate the problem...
i am wery disappointed in this device because i cannot get normally working any custom roms! ( only stock... but stock sucks!! want MIUI!!
there are another guys with same problem: ht_p://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37785-camera-bug/
P.S. Sorry for bad english, i teach it bad in my russian school
Yes, I have the same problem with a brand new DS. I reported this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20497676&postcount=559
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20510357&postcount=562.
It is happening with CM7 and MIUI Roms, the latter obviously have CM7 core.
No solution known to me. Can't take Sense bloat anymore, but at least camera works fine.
Edit:
On top: I have just bricked the device (wrong EMMC, can't write system, data, cache, hboot)!
Maybe someone (as I bricked my DS) can have a look at the new CM7 build by Jorgen (can be found in the thread I linked above)? Should have implemented new! HTC kernel sources. The camera might work now.

other ideas?
It seems that this thread is more active so i write my thoughts here too....
The problem with the lagging camera is only on new HTC Desire S (i think), because i got my desire s a half year before and on this one it's working. With the new HTC Desire S of my girlfriend it isn't working.
So i found a alternative, for those who like to take some pictures and capture some videos. The first one is (pictures only) a free app called pudding camera, it has a nice UI and it's working. The second one is (pictures and videos) a paid app (2,50€ i think) called Angel Camera which allows you to take pictures and videos. Oh and to make high quality pictures you have to select fine shot or something like this.
The problem is, i don't think that the (only) problem is the camera driver because watching videos is also a pain. Try to watch for an example youtube videos they will bug as much as the camera preview. In a few other apps like daily ... workout the videos are lagging like hell too.
And like it was said before it's working if you keep some UI interaction up all the time. For example press menu all the time, you will see it's running fluently. The same is working in the camera app too.
Perhaps a problem with hardware acceleration? The drivers (can't) be the problem because third party apps are working without that lag?
I hope someone more experienced can join this thread.
Perhaps superkid or proxuser or mdeejay, ...
yeah. xD there are lots of very experienced guys in these forums.
Thx.
Hmmm. Apart from the fact that I managed to replace my bricked device and now own a DS whose camera thankfully works, my experience was totally different.
I certainly tried 3rd party camera apps: Vignette, Camera 360, Nemus Camera and Camera Zoom FX. None worked, all of them showed the uber-laggy preview.
So at that time I assumed the issue involves indeed a new driver, API or whatever, a deeper problem not to be solved by using a certain camera app.
@mikep1993: Would you please try one of the mentioned apps, if possible (there are free versions)? And, which CM version are you on?

I tried other apps but they are lagging as well, i found those two which won't lag. I can't tell anything more detailed but i know those too apps are working. Perhaps they are programmed a bit different or something like this, but yeah.
We are using Galnet MIUI 1.12.31 so the newest build. Like i said before it's working with ICS again. Had no change to try a MIUI ICS build but perhaps we are lucky.
Now what should I throw my phone!!!!!!!! why no one solves the problem!!! I do not want to sit on stock firmware. This problem 100% in kernel, let anyone else will this kernel.
Today there is a new CM7 version available in the dedicated Desire S thread here at xda. Some changes in camera are introduced. Might be worth checking.
all still. I hope they understand what the problem is not in the camera and problem in hardware video accelerator therefore, the lag in the camera
Hey all, sorry that I'm barging in on you like this, but I'm quite at a loss here. Thought it would be cool to get ICS on my Desire S -- and it sort of is. It's just not what I expected it to be, hehe.
First of all, to the creator, ronks888, thanks so much. Really enjoying it, apart from a few minor issues . First of all, the camera crashes after one or two photos. Default camera app, Camera ZOOM FX - the camera gets stuck and no way to solve it apart from rebooting the entire phone. Secondly, is there a way to arrange apps alphabetically in the menu? The default apps are all great, but for every new one I download, it gets added to the end of the list :/.
Also, I'm currently on CoolDroid 7.1. Can I simply update to 8.0, or do I have to completely wipe my phone again?
Thanks, and again, sorry. Hope you all have a great day.
