[MK16i]SE Xperia Pro Ultima v1.1; Google Play crashes

Hello, I have a problem with running Google Play after flashing the phone with Xperia Pro Ultima v1.1 kernel and rom. The application turns on, I have logged in fine, I can see the main menu and browse, but when I try to open a game menu it crashes and it shows a message that I have to force kill (com.android.vending process).
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i
Does anybody know how might I solve this? Thank you in advance

This is a known issue due to a wrong NFC file included (mk16i doesn't use NFC) in android
you need to remove a file by adb or with a root explorer.
the file is:
/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml
reboot, and everything should be just find !

Can your wizardry help with that problem?

Font installer bootloop

This is the font installer root. The question is, why the default, only 4 is ticked? Yes, only 3 are shown in pic, scroll and youll see it. Can I pick more? Or why does it cause bootloops for xperia e single? Or do I need to do something about metadata inside those .ttf files? For tipo it works fine, until I ticked everything inside, get the font, and reboot then stuck in bootloop. Is it so different (ics vs jb) .ttf metadata?

i guess it's not Font Installer... see attached pic that it is
is it Font Changer?
Font Installer won't make bootloop, it smart app that will choose properly which fonts to be changed...
it's works on ICS & JB

This is the same app. If you use this on xperia e, it will reboot and give you bootloop. You see its that small because of dpi modding (from my tipo).

I tried this twice,faced bootloops,any other E users who can test this?

i would test it soon when i home...

nothing tricky...
just open Font Installer from ROM Toolbox Pro,
choose your font (i've got fonts collection, then i don't have to enabled my internet/ offline)
select Install,
doesn't confirm backup (i've already backed up whole fonts and zip it as flashable.zip )
then i see its installation process does replace for 5 fonts
confirm reboot,
voila.... that's it

1. All my apk installer are working on my previous phone, my previous phone was xperia mini and I was able to install 2.3, 4.0 , 4.1 , 4.2 and all my apk are installed there without problems. But now upon transferring all my apk to xperia L, most of them have error in parsing and some of them were able to install the first time but the 2nd time was not.

if you want to downgrade just follow this steps.

updates are not installed to /system/app
thay are at/data/app so you can uninstall updates

Music playback problem.
Upgrading is not solving the issues.
Everything is superb in this phone except music playback.
Is it very difficult of a smart phone to play music?
Can u please do anything about this? Sony are not understanding these issues. It is a playback problem not the app problem.

[Q] Live Wallpaper Picker had stopped

Hello, I have Sony Xperia C. After rooting it to uninstall app that I didnt need, I unknowingly uninstalled Live Wallpaper Picker. Even after installing the apk file, I get an error that unfortunately Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped. Maybe its to do with the fact that my android version is 4.2.2, and the apk file is 4.0.4. Even after installing the compatible version, the app doesnt install at all. Please help

You may need to restore your stock firmware to fix it now... If you decide to go that route, Here's a guide on that,

STEP 1 ) Root your device. (visit THIS)
STEP 2 ) Download Attached Files
STEP 3 ) Install RootExplorer on your device and copy attached file in system>>app with permissions as "rw--r--r--" and restart your phone.
Also delete the "Live Wallpapers.odex" and "LiveWallpapersPicker.odex" files before doing this.
Delete preexisting files with same name (if there are)

Great! This worked like a charm, thank you so much. I have rooted my phone to uninstall a few preinstalled apps. Each tie I start a new app I get a notification of root access granted. How can I stop that because its annoying and honestly worrying as if I have messed up something. Can you tell me what are the benefits of a rooted phone and its disadvantages? Plus how can I unroot it and will it be as if it was never rooted? Thank you so much

You will get the option on unrooting your device in the same app "Framaroot"
Advantages :
You can control your system as you want
You can do anything with your stock apps, themes, wallpapers, tones etc.,
You can now install a Custom ROM also,
etc. So many Advantages
Disadvantages :
You warranty in gone
Try THIS ROM by me. it's good It will transform your device's interface into Android 4.4.4 KitKat Interface.
Don's say just click the Thanks Button.

Thats great, thanks. Can I also update my android to kitkat?

Upgrading Actual OS to KitKat is not possible because there is no official update available and also we cannot flash custom kernel due to locked bootloader of Xperia C. We can only upgrade our User Interface to KitKat. I am also making an Android 5.0.1 Custom ROM for Xperia C and it will be uploaded on XDA this month only.

Thanks. Is it normal that after rooting, some apps such as clean master show notification of root access denied sometimes?

walkman doesnt recognize music after handset is at standby
Hi again. I have sony xperia c and I think after rooting it I have created a problem. The walkman app which is in-built doesnt detect music when the handset is used after standby. I keep rebooting but after a few minutes its the same. I have tried media scanner, clearing data in walkman and media storage but its the same. Please help. Did I destroy my phone?:crying:

Help please, my walkman app stops detecting music. Is it possible that these glitches are occurring due to the live wallpaper picker app I installed? Just a crazy thought :crying:

You can find the Album App attached below. Place this in your system>>app folder using Root Explorer and give the permission as "RW-R--R--" and reboot your phone.

Ok, do i need to install the app after placing there or just simply place the file there?

Ok, its still not working, when i want to set a picture as wallpaper it doesnt show the cropping mode, neither does it set the lock screen

Also i just uniinstalled the quickpic app, so that setting wallpaper finds its first preference in album, but when i did try it said that com.sonyericsson.album has stopped, and it says the album has stopped.

Hello, help please, reply please

iSiddharth, I really love your works. I have also flashed the lollipop rom.
I followed the instuctions, but I didn't get good result. When deleting the same name apks, I also deleted android live wallpapers by a mistake. And the other point which I can't get is that where are those .odex files to delete? I didn't find Live Wallpapers.odex nor LiveWallpapersPicker.odex . Maybe because of these I didn't get successful result, but can you please help?
