Yes, it's possible, it's not that hard to do so you might as well attempt it yourself.

apktool probably doesn't work for the L API level then. In which case you wait.

Probably not, at least not yet. Its a developer preview anyways, not a release. In my opinion, Google shouldn't have released a preview anyways, and they never had to.

This is because samsung's stock keyboard has his own sounds integrated in the apk, you have to decompile the app if you want to change anything
Yes,cause those 4 are not gona do it.now I didn't checked ui but you got to change TW ogg also. If you can wait I'll can make the one's you need but will be like over 7 hours or so.

Transparent App menu

Hi,
I've seen guides on how to code etc, but tt's not my thing....
Now what I'd want, and hope tt someone can help me with, is the following:
The menu which shows jour installed apks, widgets and favorites has a nasty black background (like the dropdown menu btw). Any easy solution for a no-programmer to have this transparent ?
Thanks for the help,
Cheers

If you're rooted, attach the homescreen.apk and I'll take care of the mod for you. I haven't personally done it since I'm not bothered by the black bg but I'm capable of doing it. All you'll have to do is switch the stock one with the modified one

Also you might want to make a back up first

I don't think it would work on 4.1.2 since the file is for 4.2.2. Send me your Homescreen.apk and framework-res.apk and I'll give it a shot. I'm just waiting for feedback for the one I did

Building New ROM. Post your Requests

Hi there
I am thinking of making a new Rom for Xperia L and I would like to see what I can do for you. However, I am doing a little survey before I start developing the Rom. Kindly tell me what do you need in a ROM.
The rom will be build from source of 4.1.2 most probably but it's not set to stone yet.
Do you want to see specific softwares or specific modification or anything ? If I can do that, I will happy to do that for you all.
What do you like to see in the ROM, write your requests!

For a rom to be built from source, device tree is most important which is not ready yet for XL. So how you are going to make one and add apps or 'Softwares' to it?
if you are planing to build from source i would realllllllllly apreciate cyanogenmod/paranoid android.
sorry to say but half my might is made up that you are going to churn out another themed stock rom.

I have just bought the phone and I didnot know about the device tree isnot available yet. I guess than I will have to wait for nodes and binaries.

Well, I said source so I meant SOURCE.
I was thinking of making my own ROMS for different devices. That's all
I guess for the moment I might just try to tweak stock rom a bit

also pie as an option that would make a killer feature.
my apologies but a lot of guys say from source but simply cook new ones.Hence my suspicion .
also for sources you could look at htc one sv which has 1080p playback and recording with the same SOC model msm8230.

Honestly I do not knowabout that. If it is based on stock Rom, bootloader wouldnot be a problem but if its made from source, it could be hard.

I did some tests on touch sensitivity and i can zoom fine if the fingers are pinched in a diagonal direction but I do not get a good zoom if its pinched vertically. Are you having the same issues?
I am not sure if this has anything to do with missing gyroscope or software till yet but I am working on it. I will run more tests and update you all

I'm part of a team of guys that do boots, would you mind posting your request over in our Bootanimation thread (link in OP)? I don't want it to look like I'm "going rogue", so to speak. I started this thread as a way to try to get more boot requests. If I or anyone else there does something you feel is killer, donations are much appreciated, but not required, obviously. Bottom line is I'd be glad to hook you up as soon as I take care of the requests above.

Custom Lockscreen on custom ROMS

The lockscreen is not an app you simply install. May I suggest your read up on what open source and closed source is if you want too of course.
Maybe somebody will create a close look a like for you
