(Req) Xperia Phonebook & Message - Android Apps and Games

* I searched this on XDA and on Google. There are many ports of OTHER APPS but not these two. Also, most 'ports' that I found of Xperia apps in general were for other Xperia phones which will therefore not work on other ROMs*
Has anyone seen these for any ROM? I would prefer the beautiful Jelly Bean version on the Xperia Z but I would happily use any version. I'm using a JB ROM atm.
Many thanks for any help.

I'm a bit interested by this as well. Could you just take the mms.apk from the sony rom and overwright the one in CM? Maybe it needs the framework...(which, if you run the mods that make the phone practically an xperia, would it have enough of the framework i wonder? i havent messed with it yet, probably will this weekend)

Hi buddy.
I have tried installing the Jelly Bean version from different Sony ROMs. None of them worked. I tried normal install and putting them in system/app with various permissions. I'm not even sure which permissions to use for this, but I think I have tried all of them.
There are some Sony apps that you can 'normal install'. I wonder how the devs do that exactly. Maybe they disconnect some dependencies on framework or something.
If you are interested in other Sony apps, there are a bunch of them here until we get Phonebook/SMS:

*Bump*
Anyone? I've searched and searched but no luck yet.

Stock JB Xposed Framework Compatible?

Apologies if this has already been covered, search is currently offline/disabled, so I could only search XDA using Google and didn't find anything.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean ROM (4.1.2) DeODEX'd with a few little tweaks, nothing big.
I was checking out the Xposed Framework project ( read here ) and wondering if anyone knows if it's compatible with the stock'ish Photon Q 4G ROM?
If someone is able to confirm/deny it would save the time of backing up, flashing/installing, then having to restore back if it isn't.
Thanks in advance.:good:
I haven't tried it myself, but it should work on any device.
Just be sure you take that backup so you can restore...
Based on this comment - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41156747&highlight=xposed#post41156747
Looks like it in all likelihood works fine, so I'll probably give it a shot this evening after work.
As an update, the framework installs fine, no issues at all. Some of the modules available work, some are exclusive to HTC or Samsung devices, so unfortunately those are a no go.

[Q] Stock xperia e JB rom for tipo

Greetings xda,
I was thinking about porting the stock j.b. rom of the xperia e to tipo, because it's a nice rom, with a very nice UI, and also it could be a good upgrade for the xperia tipo, with an "official sony" touch. Since both phones are much alike in specs (they have same amount of ram, almost the same cpu, same screen, same gpu and same camera) I consider that this could be possible. So here's my question: how hard can it be? And also what would I need to make the port on an xperia tipo? Note that I'd like to port the official stock, generic one (rootable, if possible), with no modifications like UI, etc.
Your post is in the wrong section. . I report to modeators to move to Q/A
As will be moved there by the moderator if you answer.
Sure. No problem.
I have found a method of porting a pre-rooted rom's files from a phone to a computer (here's the page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49766028). Could I do something similar to make the port I'm interested in?

Has sony abandoned xperia l?

Hii, sorry i searched for a thread like this but didn't found one, so if there is a thread already existing like this i apologize for that_
I wanted to ask that has sony abandoned xperia l? so many days but still no news for an android 4.3 update, let alone 4.4_
No stable aosp roms like cyanogen or aokp.. Will it stay like this or what? Does somebody have any news?
My previous phone was samsung galaxy y, which is a low end phone but it has a hell lot of roms and even when the device is discontinued the roms are still developing_i think xperia l has potential.. Can't it support roms like cyanogen (official stable version) ? Hell even xperia m got one, which has only 4gb of internal_
If somebody have any kind of news please reply.. m sick and tired of checking the updates daily_

Xperia L Future?
Hi
I feel the same for the Xperia L, Sony hasn't given an update schedule for it, there are is no news/rumour on either 4.3 or 4.4 for the Xperia L furthermore although we are backed by official CM support the maintainer is a bit quiet in terms of progress, what makes it worse is that the phone is not that popular especially with the SP overshadowing it.
With my previous phones (Xperia X10 mini pro, Xperia X8 & Live with Walkman) the XDA forums were so full of ROMs/mods/everything you would want-they only got better for me. But with the Xperia L it all feels dead - I reckon mostly because of Sony's lack of info on updates-no one wants a phone that has no good update outlook.
I hope that Sony will update our beloved Xperia L to a stable Kit-Kat, not asking for anymore-the phone does deserve it, beautiful hardware at a nice price.
Yea

I too owned Samsung Galaxy Y. It was a very low end device but had many developments. I bought XL due to cost/performance ratio was good. Unfortunately there is so slow development
Sony has no reason to update our phone since it's a mid-range device. That's why we didn't get 4.3 or 4.4.

Yeah I don't think we're gonna be getting anymore updates.
There will be one more major update to our phone.. Mark my words!!
If what I hear is correct, we should get a working CM11 by the end of this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I don't think Sony has abandoned the Xperia L just yet, honestly.
Perhaps they'll release 4.3/4.4.2 for it someday, but be honest: most people buy the flagship models with their contracts (Z, Z Ultra, Z1, Z2) so they prioritize those.
Yeah we get a very nice performance phone at a cheap price but at the cost of slow development
I checked the list of devices which sony has confirmed won't be getting any updates anymore_xperia l isn't in the list..
But it occurs to me that xperia sp and xperia m were launched with xperia l (xperia m a little after i think) but the phones have received major updates_this thought troubles me..
But we can't do nothing.. we just have to be hopeful and wait for the updates i think
Unless some superhero makes the aosp version stable for us_

well, there's no official statement from sony about dropping the support for xperia L and it's still within the 18 months cycle. So, who knows?:fingers-crossed:
can only speculate whether there will be another update or not, but it's just speculations, so . . .
no one but sony can answer "has sony abandoned xperia l?"
other roms like cm, aokp, etc has nothing to do with sony, it depends on the community :victory:
the official cm is currently in "coming soon" section in fxp :victory:
sony had supported the open resource project by giving the kitkat aosp for xperia L i guess..
eventhough it's not good enough for daily use :crying:
btw i check the updates of the development daily too
well, since there's ptcrb updates on xperia M and it's still within 18 months policy
finger crossed :angel:

Sorry for late reply,
I suggest you to use PA rom made by lozohcum,it's base on cm10
PA ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326477
As you tried a few custom rom,you may notice that the screen won't light up when someone dial-in, you need to press the lockscreen button twice in order to pick up the phone.
also,the illumination bar isn't working normally in cm10,you can try it first and you can disable it from setting page after you flash the rom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You might want to use walkman to work on your phone,I am using this,
Download : http://d-h.st/HOJ
Original link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43100933&postcount=229
Since album and movie app update a lot, google yourself "album for 4.1.2" and "movie for 4.1.2"
It's better for you to use CM10 or stock JB since the CM11 is still buggy
If you fell your phone is laggy, use vengance kernel for the stock JB 4.1.2
Here is the list of tweaks, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947926
It works for all phone.
Hopes it help you! :laugh:

Just take a look at all the MM Roms for LB and see which has feautures you like. Check the comments a bit too to see what others say and then you'll know. Lots have the features you want and are getting regular updates to improve them. It is hard for someone to suggest a ROM as each is different for our needs and wants.
Alternatively you can root stock ROM and then flash the ported versions of the Xperia X apps like the system UI, lockscreen, sound libs and even camera when it is available. Just check they are for the Z3.
There might be a port of the galaxy apps if you search around. Probably in the cross-device development section near the bottom here. You could even try installing them normally and see if they work, but have a backup if you flash anything!
