[Q] Downgrading the Walkman app from 8.4.a.5.3 to 8.1.A.0.6 - Sony Xperia E3

Hello guys,
I am using Sony xperia E3 dual, rooted with custom recovery, I despirately want to downgrade the walkman app from 8.4.a.5.3 to 8.1.a.0.6,
I have tried to put the old app in system/app and renaming it to semcmusic.apk and setting permissions to rw-r-r--, "Unfortunately the walkman has stopped " comes. Please help me out plz. I have also flashed the zip file and cleared dalvik chache also, still problem persist.
This walkman 8.1.a.0.6 old app was taken from xperia e1 dual. Reason for downgrading is my music stops suddenly while running and the elapsed time goes on and on. Iam facing this problem from day 1. when no any other apps was installed.

many people are having this problem get the latest update of app then install.
if you want to downgrade just follow this steps.
go to settings/apps/all/
now scroll down to walkman and select uninstall update
this will reset walkman app to sotck version.
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.

[ST21i] My observations about Gimlo ROM v2.0

Welcome to all users. I'm reading xda-developers since severals months but without registering on this forum.
Recently I've installed Gimlo ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123835) on my Tipo (ST21i).
Then I've found some problems. So I've decided to register.
Therefore I've found following problems:
1. Walkman from Xperia Go by djedjy doesn't work on my Tipo.
It closes with error "Device has stopped". But when I renamed or moved /system/app/SemcDlna.apk into another location and reboot the phone then Walkman works. Of course then Settings -> More... -> Media server settings doesn't work.
I've found that NXT framework installs SemcDlna.apk 3'426'569 bytes and Walkman should installs SemcDlna.apk 4'883'078 bytes (least such file is located in /gimlo/stock/semc_walkman_xgo/system/app). I noted that even after 2, 3 or more phone restarts still exists /system/app/SemcDlna.apk 3'426'569 bytes long. When I change it with proper file /gimlo/stock/semc_walkman_xgo/system/app/SemcDlna.apk 4'883'078 bytes long then Walkman started working.
2. Gallery "Xperia Z by DavidMKD" doesn't work on my Xperia Tipo - causes error "Gallery has stopped".
I've found that it additionally installs SemcPhotoEditor.apk. When I renamed or moved /system/app/SemcPhotoEditor.apk (and of course reboot the phone) then Gallery started working.
But Gallery by aeron and Pandemic work fine with SemcPhotoEditor.apk. Everything works fine - I even could edit photos.
I would like the developer of Gimlo checks my observations. Maybe I'm wrong but changes I've done helped to my Tipo.
Therefore I would like to thanks @Yokav for its good work.
I complete my previous post with next observations.
3. SmallApps status bar (at bottom) doesn't remember its settings after restart the phone. For example I remove Small Notes or add Unit Converter. Until I'll restart my phone it's ok. But after I'll restart my phone my changes disappeared - on status bar there are again Calculator, Timer, Notes and Recorder. It's frustrating.
4. There are problems with some fonts.
I tried Exo fonts: they are nice and elegant. But sometimes Exo fonts display weird characters. For example names under some icons in launcher are shifted to the right and cutted off. In contrast with default fonts names under icons are wrapped in second line.
I also tried Gimlo fonts: they are very beautiful and elegant too. But they are too small. Even if I changed fonts size to Large (in system Settings).
So I use Olney for now.

For me working version is that one located in /gimlo/stock/semc_walkman_xgo/system/app/SemcDlna.apk (Gimlo v2.0 archive)
The thing is that.

Note that, always reboot twice after installing Gimlo 2.0

[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.

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?

[Completed] help me fix my xperia c

hello!
m in a deep **** trouble, a few months ago i rooted my xperia c so that i can flash the lollipop ROM. I wanted this this new ROM coz of the stock JB ROM looked crap n was laggy though there was nothing much heavy apps installed on it.
to the point,
before i actually flash this rom i had to flash the ftf file so as to change my s1 boot, but ya i messed around with my fone previously after rooting it, had installed a app called 'ULTIMATE BACKUP' so the i could convert some system apps to user so that i could have control over it!!
unfortunately i converted the 'SYSTEM UI' 'MTP EXTENTION SERVICES' 'KEYBOARD' 'PLAYSTORE' 'DRM MANAGER' and some other few like facebook n twitter albums walkman....
when ever i restarted my phone it would show me SYSTEM UI stopped working, so to over come this i installed a thirdparty launcher to use this phone but i solved this problem by finding another new SYSTEM UI.APK n placed it in the system folder of the device.
so i it would be greatful if anyone having a xperia c could juz upload "USB CONNECTIVITY.APK" "MTP EXTENSION SERVICES.APK" "DRM MANAGER"
so that i could atleast flash a stock android on my phone!!
thanks!
