Hi guys, and you may have read in my camera mod topic I have been working on an app to change the function of the xperia plays L and R buttons outside of a single app and I'm proud to announce that its now finished!
The app is ROOT ONLY and requires busybox to allow the the reboot function to work in app, if you don't have it, do it manually.
https://market.android.com/details?id=seb.button.changer
The app currently allows you to change the function of the buttons to:
Game - The way the buttons are normally allowing games to use them
Camera - Makes L focus and R shutton in the DEFAULT camera app!
Media - Makes R previous and L next track
You must reboot for the changes to take affect

Is there a way to change the music function to L is previous and R is next? Then I will be intrigued
Great job man. I was the first comment. Lol

do you guys also agree with me that i should swap the L and R button in camera mode im constantly opening the camera app by accident with the palm of my hand!
Great idea but I think the buttons are just too easy to press by mistake. I think you should definitely swap the camera buttons. My hand directly rests over the
R button whenever I am doing anything with the phone.

Yeah that's exactly what I thought after I used the setting for a day I'll swap them here and in the camera app and make sure it all works nicely. Any other complaints I haven't had much time to test this

Can media app itself be modded to use R and L buttons same way you modded camera one please - this way both will work without need for reboot? Thanks
do we have to have an unlocked bootloader?

I got a lot of reports of this not working for people can you guys confirm for me it did work for you and if not could i have some details. I havnt had the time to fix the app yet but your feedback would really help.
I installed it yesterday and tried it out. I chose media and rebooted but it did not work. No changing of songs when pressing R or L button. I did it with the screen on and off no difference there.
I'm running the latest FW 4.0.A2.368, rooted and unlocked BL.
Regards Dousan.
Yup, doesn't work. Needs an update

Same here
Please keep the camera shutter button as R or an option to have R as the shutter button. I have been using the camera app for a while now and I like it that way.
sorry not working here too

First of all:
Open your dialer app and type:
Code:
*#*#7378423#*#*
It will bring you to the service menu. Once you're in there, go to Service Tests, then click Touch Screen.
Try to draw vertical and horizontal stripes on the screen, make a screenshot (press volume down + power button simeltaniously) and upload the picture to this topic.
I believe it's an issue with more Xperia (2012) phones running ICS.
I know there is a screen calibration patch available (FOR TIPO), I'm just not sure if it also works on Xperia J.
You can try it, I dont give any guarantees it works, nor am I responsible for any damage.

Another question : i just updated the firmware of my xperia J to 11.0.A.3.28 and everything is smooth and fast as usual...
except:
when i run an app or do something that's not in thr homescreen, when i go back to it, all the icons and widgets reload their images, resulting in 1-2 seconds of slowness...has anyone of you experienced such a thing?

Try to see what apps eats most of your memory and delete them.

Is it like, lagging, skipping small parts of the screen when you're swiping it?
something like ____ __ _____
as example?
Or is it just that it reacts slow, or sometimes not at all.
Ok, that happens after the use of a specific application or game?
Normally, the home screen is redrawn when the application(s) you're running need almost all RAM memory.
When you don't need an application, try "long press" in the home button.
You will see a list with the open applications in the phone.
Swipe right or left to close an application.
I experienced this with my old X8. With Xperia J didn't happened yet.

I do not agree to what you say here, as it is a list of RECENT apps and not of the open ones. Some apps that still run aren't listed and some of the listed apps don't run anymore.
Swiping the RECENT apps does NOT close the apps.

Swiping an app away will effectively "kill" most apps. You can test this out using ADB if you have the SDK installed. Swipe everything out of your recents list, then launch the browser. Use ADB to run 'ps' on the device and verify that the com.google.android.browser process is running. Go to the home screen, it's still running. Launch some other apps, and the com.google.android.browser process is still there. Swipe it out of the recents list, however, and the process is gone.
You can create a test app to further verify, and log the onDestroy() call in your Activity. It's not called when you back or home out of the app, or when you launch other apps. It does get called when you swipe the app out of the recents list though.
I do agree that the recent apps list isn't really "multitasking". The apps in the list aren't necessarily even running, the processes could have been killed by the memory manager long before you try to re-open it. However, you can't argue that the only purpose is to jump quickly to other apps when the swiping makes the actual process go away.
