Hi,
Once again i am really thankful to all your efforts in getting Cyanogenmod for Xperia Arc.
I recently upgraded to CM7.1.0 B12. But i am still not able to access all applications in the android market namely, facebook, Go launcher ex, power strip etc...
Can you please address these issues at the earliest...
I don't have access to post comments in Development thread directly, as i am new to this forum. That's the reason i am posting here. Expecting reply from atleast one of you.
Thanks in advance...
Market applications issue
When i tried to download missing application from 'Android Market - WebSite' the model number drop down shows the phone model as 'Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson xperia Arc'... And then it says this device is not supported for the application...
Also the model number in the mobile shows 'Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc' instead of just 'Xperia Arc' (which was there in the stock rom)... as shown in the attachment...
Please appologize if i am wrong...
I'm not sure. But did you install the Google Apps package in AOR/OR?
Thank you very much for the response.
But i heard that this is the issue with the CM 7.1.0 rom for xperia arc.
I hope that this will be fixed at the earliest.

​Well guys as we all know nowadays there are several apps that can perform the basic tasks required for Android Development without breaking a sweat. But as you all may know ROM managers refuse to work as Sony Xperia L is not officially supported by Clockworkmod recovery(Actually TWRP also). Although it works through flashing a kernel with CWM or TWRP integrated solves the problem. But this type of recoveries have a major drawback it is that every time (if) a higher or newer version of Android is installed like new AOSP ROM there is incompatibility of the kernel with new Android Version or basically the Firmware.(obviously)
Ok so here's it I request Sony Xperia L developers to please try to make a independent recovery , which does not require any kernel flashing before.
And its my humble request ( fully understanding developer's hardwork ) but this needs too be done. Because for now we aren't getting official versions of them by any means.
I request every Sony Xperia L developer to do this for their own and new developer's convenience.
There's no pressure though , do this by own free will.
Anybody Ready??? please leave your thoughts on it down here

Well, you should read before post. They have tried already making CWM for locked bootloader and it wasn't working.
There was glitches. Don't get what is your problem. We have does things for XL, it doesn't mean we don't have them because you have to flash kernel in order to make them work.
I fully understand .... but

But then sometimes if kernel has to be loaded standalone, then a recovery is better option, I know it's secondary thing but you this contribution will make future development a bit user friendly for Xperia devices as we are fully dependent on Flashtool, and having a emergency secondary way is really useful sometimes.
And yup I just put on my idea if u agree. Please contribute.
Thank You .
This is impossible for any new Xperia device because they don't have recovery partition. You should research before posting anything. Reporting now.

Look at the list, no single Sony device is officially supported. This has nothing to do with the Xperia L.

Now I know that Sony Xperia Devices don't have recovery partition. So that's why no support from ROM Manager.
By the way I was being specific about Xperia L only because I wanted it for our Xperia L only . As it is in Sony Xperia L section.
anyways thanks for info.
Is there any VPN working on Android L? I can't even log into my Google account and restore my apps in China because everything Google is now blocked....Hola doesn't work, fqrouter doesn't work either. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with it.
Thanks.
Um you do know that L is a developer preview edition, not necessarily ready for daily use...? I would read thru a bunch of the L threads already out there there might be a hack

I had the same problem. I use VyprVPN for China and couldn't even log into my account. Tried to set it up manually and also failed.

Hello Xda developers and friends,
As I am about to purchase a new phone, I thought that it would be nice if I installed Lollipop on my beloved Sony Xperia S. I googled and also searched within xdadevelopers however most solutions are either referring to a previous build or the require the use of WIndows or a later edition of Mac OS. Even Android SDK doesn't run on my version of MacOSX.
I checked if I can unlock the bootloader of my phone at sony.developers.com however within the service menu it was stated that unlocking the bootloader is not allowed.
My phone is locked on the O2 UK network (don't know if this is relevant).
Could you please direct me the correct thread where I will be able to locate resources and instructions in order to be able to install a stable version of android lollipop?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Anthony

Hello Anthony, and Welcome to XDA!
Getting around the MacOS problem shouldn't be too much of an issue. All you need (hopefully) is Virtual Machine software (like VMWare or VirtualBox), and run Linux (like Ubuntu) within it. With luck, any device connected to the computer will interface with the "guest" OS (Linux).
Not sure how to get around your bootloader unlocking issue, but your guides can be found here:
> Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion > Xperia S, Acro S, Ion General
Sometimes here:
> Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion > Xperia S Android Development
By the way, this thread is of use.
Any questions you may have, can be asked here (once you have an XDA account):
> Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion > Xperia S, Acro S, Ion Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Thank you @joel.maxuel for your quick response. Unfortunately I am not familiar with Linux and I think my Mac is probably a bit old (13.3 mid 2009 Macbook pro with 4GB RAM) to withhold a VMWare or Virtual Box. I will look into VMWares now and hopefully I can make it work. Thank you so much again!
Hello,
I have a rooted Lenovo IdeaTab S6000-L with Android 4.2.2 and tried to get the look&feel from Sony's Xperia Z tablet. I found working "standard-apps" like
Album, Video, Walkman, etc, but the launcher (home.apk) was missing, until I found an .apk wich was said to work only with xperia xposed. Since I kept
no backup and I'm unable to find the correct .apk in Firefox' chronic, I try to find it this way. I don't know, which version it was but I'll try to describe as many
as possible.
1.) the launcher was direct install (no need to put in sys/apk with permissions)
2.) the launcher has no dock and looks like this: h**p://fs5.directupload.net/images/160708/temp/q4976ajx.jpg
3.) the design-button lead to fc
4.) it works in landscape- and portrait-mode.
Does anyone have an idea, which version it could be? i tried different, but they're all with the menu-button in the bottom center...
Thanks for your time and help!
Chris
Got it solved!
During my tryouts to get a working email-apk, xposed was completely deactivated, so no xposed, no Xperia Home...
I use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289880 and it looks much better than
the stock-launcher.
Hi, XDA
so today i installed CM 13 beta for my Sony Xperia T (LT30p)
And i really like the rom but i kinda missed the stock apps like, Music, Album, Video and What's new.
So i went to the Google play store and i know you can download Music from the play store.
So i tried that but it said 'Your device isn't compatible with this version'.
I also tried to download it from the web as an apk but then it said 'this app is not installed'.
and now i'm wondering is there a way to download these Stock Sony apps on my Xperia T?
Thanks for the help XDA!
ps, i also tried downloading Music from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-app-stock-rom-t3263403 and it installed but i couldn't open it. it said: Unfortunately, Music has stopped.
