Is there a way to run the phonebook.apk from the stock firmware on free x10. I am really found of it. I am sure som1 can edit it to get it working, that would be gr8.
Sent from my X10A using XDA App
i don't think it's possible, i think i read that the only way to run Sony apps is with the source code for each app. i don't know much about how the software works, so i would love to be proven wrong.
i too am fond of the stock Xperia phone book, i liked many of the stock apps, even though it took its share of resources, i liked timescape a lot
I'm not saying its not possible(Its highly unlikely), but its useless, it wont be able to pull up the background picture without the framework and your running a different ROM for a reason, right?...
(sorry to hijack your thread) but what about the keyboard? I like that as well...
Phonebook i'm not so sure... its linked to Timescape right...the status updates and stuff
Hi All,
Is there any way to modify the musicwidget.apk in stock 2.3.3 ROM so that it can work with ADW Launcher?
After using the new stock music player, I have started liking it too much and want to get rid of all 3rd party music players. The only issue is that the music widget cant be used on other launchers. Can we make some changes like changing the manifest file or some other code so that it will work in the 3rd party launchers?
I need to know how to modify all widgets to use them on other lunchers ..can some one help us?
yes . its possible , ill look into it tonight . can you pm me a link for the music player? also pm for further info .

ok, no go on this yet. meanwhile I have been discussing offlist with phillu97 on the possibilities and found out that there is a widget in the market called "Phantom Music Widget" which works with all stock and most 3rd party music players.
It works by emulating the headset button event. However the implementation is too buggy. Anyone here willing to experiment with the codes from Phantom widget to see if it works out for the musicwidget? I have the app and can attach the apk if someone wants it for experimental purposes.
its way too ... complicated. I just wont budge no matter what. But try widgetsoid. I'm thinking of building that from ground up, but only with the play, pause, fwd and rwd features. its sorta gonna look like the powercontrol.
unless anyone else have any ideas?

Why not re-use the skin & graphics from the existing widget? In anycase the stock widget has those 3 buttons only.
cos that defeats the whole purpose since you cant use it on other launchers

Hello all,
Wondering if someone can help me here...
I have spent a considerable of time modifying the Skyrocket and I must say it was worth it! I do use Go Launcher Pro and it really is quite impressive.
With that said, I do use other screen widgets but do use a few Go applications. One of them that I just installed is Go SMS. I absolutely love this and have set everything just about right. However, I don't like one particular feature and it seem it is simply not possible to change it (for obvious reasons). That is the auto reply option. I've tested it for hours and it does work quite well. Only a couple of times it did not execute. However, what I would like is a way to change that default auto reply text? Is there a way? Yes, I can add some custom text but that default "(From GO SMS auto reply)" still appears. I just can't seem to take it out.
Wondering if someone knows how to do this?
Much appreciated!

I would love to know that, too. Also more text to this auto-reply would be fine ...
You might be better off contacting the go dev team. There might be a way to do it but I am pretty sure if there is no setting for it in the app, you will have to decompile, hack and recompile the app...

Go software is crap. Huge ram usage and way too many cached images. My suggestion is dump go and use something like nova or apex and use handcent if you want a different messaging app. The aosp one is nice, it has popup in cm ROMs

It happens to me too, try move the ringtones to internal, if it still occurs then default ringtones are the last resort.
Well you can always try copying the ringtones you want to use to the system, but i have not tested it

App I really love is:
MyPhoneExplorer
You just simply install it on phone, later on on PC. You can connect your phone via USB, BT or WIFI. Works for me perfect - very easy files shering (including folders), contact edit... and there is much more!

Greenify is great at battery life especially when used with better battery stats. You can hibernate apps that are causing your phone to wake up or ones that run in the background.

I'd really like to get the ownership of this thread .
If need info PM .
Now that I am on 4.2.2, DashClock widget and extension series is a must for me.
Along with it, a third party launcher app like Apex or Nova is a must for UI customisations, also WidgetLocker.
For root, SetCPU is a must too. Great battery saver for 4.1.2, but not on 4.2.2 as I try recently.
For daily tasks, GTasks is a must for me to organise things better.
I don't like bright screen in dark place, so Screen Filter works perfectly for me to dim the screen further. It works by applying a layer of black wallpaper with transparency over the screen.
Last but not the least, EasyTouch (Apple's assistive touch-like) improves the lifespan for my home and power button (I guess?).
Have you guys heard about Unicon/Icon Themer? It allows you to use those icon themes what are usually for launchers only. I like it and it really works. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sg.ruqqq.IconThemer

Well so it means I make the backup via CWM too right?
I'm on 4.1.2 right now. I make backup via CWM and then Flash latest 4.2.2. Root again and recover.
That's it? Will the different Android version create problem?
