- Please, the steps are pretty easy, but read them carefully!
- I'm not responsible for any damage that happens to your phone. You are doing this at your own risk!
PREREQUISITIES
- S-OFF
- Root
- a file browser with root acces (ES File Explorer is what i'm using. dont forget to turn root browsing on in settings menu!)
- something that will extract rar files (AndroZip for example)
- create a folder on your SD, and make subfolders '1', '2', '3' and '4' in the folder. just for the convenience
Part 1 - Downloads
1. download THIS file. Credz to tomanlam's post!
1.1 Extract everything with AndroZip to the '1' folder.
2. download THIS file. Credz to tomanlam's post!
2.1 Extract everything with AndroZip to the '2' folder.
3. download THIS file. Credz to tomanlam's post!
3.1 Extract everything with AndroZip to the '3' folder.
4. download THIS file. Credz to phoezies post!
4.1 Place it in the '4' folder. nothing to extract *yaay*
WARNING - if you are doing the whole progress on your phone, which is of course possible, you may get .bin files if you download them.
Please rename them to .rar files!! Except from step 4. thats an APK
That was easy, right? Let's go on.
Part 2 - Installation
5. Install all the apk's in the '1' folder.
6. select the folder inside '2' and put it on the clipboard (a.k.a copy)
7. browse to '/system/framework' and paste it there
8. select the folder inside '3' and put it on the clipboard (a.k.a copy)
9. browse to '/system/etc/permissions' and paste it there.
10. browse to '/system' and open build.prop (BACKUP FIRST)
11. search the line ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
12. edit 'HTC' to 'Sony Ericsson'
13. Scroll to the bottom
14. add the line: 'ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia
15. Make sure to SAVE the file.
Phew. we are done! Please reboot! And from now on, you can enjoy the Xperia Arc launcher with the Timescape widget/app on your HTC

hmm the launcher you found then won't be compatible with this version of the ported Timescape. The widget shows also on different ROMs here in the Desire S forums FC. But does your Timescape app itself work?

1 more thing thw launcher available with the Timescape zip file , it is also not installing. thats y i used another arc launcher.
can u tell me where i have to this entry in my build.prop
(ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperiarop) can i add this anywhere or to some specific section of the prop file
please guide me.. i really want to use Timescape
I finally got timescape working.
I guess the problem was with my launcher..
But there is 1 thing the resolution is not good.. FB updates are not pretty clear and not readable... any suggestions to improve the font and look n feel
Thanx
Great to hear it works
please share your SE home apk here for our Wildfire users
I Think the updates aren't clear because of the resolution difference, this one is edited to the WVGA resolution, the Wildfire has a lower resolution so that might cause the problem.

Hi,
I just got the leaked Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM for Xperia T and extracted the keyboard, which has Swipe feature built in. And a fellow user, kristiancarl, already uploaded the Xperia S version previously, which was running fine except on where it had instant search enabled, like YouTube search, Google search, Play Store etc etc. But this new one works perfectly EVERYWHERE.
I am very new to this stuffs and in fact spent more than half an hour finding the proper libs and all, to get it working :laugh: but to me the main thing is that it's working and working damn fine :laugh:
CWM zip is attached. I am also uploading the files in a folder, kidnly place/redirect them at the right place
File download:
♦ CWM flashable zip:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nf7q34bzlfpq2b/XperiaT_KB_JB.zip
♦ Files for Manual method:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tie67eqvtenlva7/Sony Xperia T Swipe.rar
• Installation instructions:
1- Extract the downloaded file.
2- You will get three folders.
3- The system-app folder has two files inside them. textinput-tng.apk (English language) and textinput-chn.apk (Chinese lang I guess). If you want both languages or one, just copy them/one under system/app. Make permission rw-r-r
4- The file in system-lib folder should go directly to system/libs.
5- The folder xt9 under folder system-usr needs to go under system/usr. Copy the whole xt9 folder.
6- Reboot.
Done. You will now see the Xperia™ keyboard under language, and it WILL WORK. I am using Note 2, running on 4.1.2 Odexed, and it works, so I guess it will work on all JB ROM, and maybe ICS too.
Why should you use this keyboard:
- Has predictions.
- Has auto corrections.
- Swiping feature is great, if not better than Swype.
- Different layouts.
- Custom words can be saved.
- Multiple languages.
Kindly hit thanks if you were able to get it working.
Regards.
i`m uploading a CWM flashable zip.....
EDIT:
Here it is....

You don't need to install anything, just moving the files will do.
Re: [APP][CWM]Sony Xperia T Keyboard with Swipe gesture (Working everywhere)
It worked great for me, but I don't like the way the gesture trail looks, and I can't see a way to turn it off, lol, so I've removed it Great share though :thumbup:
Could you add cursor arrows please if you know how?
slide trails is not changing color with theme it remains default blue
Compatible with Xperia Tipo ST21i ?
The Chinese keyboard FC every time i try to open it
This keyboard is just awesome. Thanks a lot for posting this one. You're the first. :good:

I'm using CM10 for Xperia X10 and I can't find the folders you're talking about in Astro File Manager. Also, can you please tell me how to make the permissions? I haven't done this before...

Hello sir, I hold no interest about CM, so can't say why the files are not there. They are there on any stock ROM.
I use Root Explorer, and there you tap and hold on a file, you'll get lot of options, one will be called 'permissions', hit it, then make the permission like the below screenshot, that's rw-r-r.

Can you make one based on the final JB 4.1.2 Xperia T firmware?
Keyboard works just fine. Love it. Skins are way better then the old ones.

Hello. You removed the whole keyboard or just the "gesture trail" picture file somehow? If so, how?
To turn the swipe thing off completely you just need to go to settings -> gesture input.

Alright i downloaded the leaked s3 jb rom and started extracting all the apps and the launcher i wanted from it to find out they wont install so im just wondering if there is any way to force the apps to install or any thing that might help
Edit: i changed the title since i found a better solution
Well i thought i almost got somewhere lol. Does anyone here think they can get this to install on the samsung infuse??
" http://www.mrmad.de/mrmaddon-jellywiz-edition-fur-galaxy-nexus-2208 "
it wont install because it says
Free ram available: 134055
Free ram required: 171160
Edit:
Alright i decided to extract the zip file and in the config it says:
[CYANOGENMOD AND STOCK ROMS SUPPORT]
###############################################################
MULTIPLATTFORM=no
###############################################################
(yes,no)
*It gives to the "modders" the posibility to add and indentify
the resources for "stocks" and "cyanogenmods" bases by only
adding the "CMOD#" prefix to the cyanogenmod files. Note that
we'll need to add it ONLY when we need to specify differents
versions of the same file and if the file is compatible with
both of them, we don't have to add anything. If the process
detects two versions of the same file it will determine which
one is the correct plattform parsing the "/system/build.prop"
looking for the "ro.build.host=cyanogenmod" string. Remember
that it would have an impact on the application time depending
on the amount of files included.
If you don't need this feature, you must keep it disabled.
e.g
>In the morph proccess, you can add in the same folder:
/MORPH/Phone.apk/CMOD#resources.arsc (only for cyanorom)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/resources.arsc (only for stock)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/CMOD#classes.dex (only for cyanorom)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/classes.dex (only for stock)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/res/drawable/blablabla.xml (for both)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/res/drawable/blublublu.png (for both)
etc..
>And the same for the XTRA files:
/XTRAS/system/etc/CMOD#blablabla.xml (only for cyanorom)
/XTRAS/system/etc/blablabla.xml (only for stock)
/XTRAS/data/app/CMOD#blablabla.apk (only for cyanorom)
/XTRAS/data/app/blablabla.apk (only for stock)
/XTRAS/data/blublublu.xml (for both)
etc..
Anyone think they can make it work??
Or try to show "teach" me how to make it work?

Umm u should Google it if ur looking for a port for those apps. If u are wanting just the theme umm u can most likely pull apps off my remics-jb ROM that has the themed icons.
Do this, download and unzip this ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38159331
Go to system/app in file explorer on that ROM u downloaded and u will be able to tell what app is themed as you look at them. Then put the app u want in ur original system/app using a file manager with root. Then reboot. Its ok if u replace the app

the clock and date works on it but location and weather is not set
and when you press on the ( add city ) on the widget the touch wiz launcher stops (unfortunately touchwiz launcher has been stopped )
and my explanation for that is :
that the flashable zip consists of 1-accuweatherWidgetDaemon.apk
2-accuweatherWidget.apk
3-accuweatherWidget_main.apk
and the only installed APKs are (1&2) and 3 cant be installed
and in my opinion if the proplem is in the framwork.res.apk the (1&2) apks wont be installed but it has been installed
i tried many other zips from many developers but the nomber 3 cant be installed

Use root-access (ES File Explorer or Root Browser) to copy #3 into /system/app and then go back into recovery and Fix Permissions, let us know how that works afterwards.
I did as u said ...but when copying #3 by (ex file exp or root browser ) only 9.34 mb from 13.4 mb is copied to system/app i tried many times but the same every time

Use ES File Browser it has all the features that a user may need.
The best feature is -
If you have a pc and wifi you can connect your phone with the pc and copy/del/rename files you can even vwatch movies stored in your pc's harddisk on you phone through wifi.
Try it...
