[MK16i]SE Xperia Pro Ultima v1.1; Google Play crashes

Hello, I have a problem with running Google Play after flashing the phone with Xperia Pro Ultima v1.1 kernel and rom. The application turns on, I have logged in fine, I can see the main menu and browse, but when I try to open a game menu it crashes and it shows a message that I have to force kill (com.android.vending process).
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i
Does anybody know how might I solve this? Thank you in advance

This is a known issue due to a wrong NFC file included (mk16i doesn't use NFC) in android
you need to remove a file by adb or with a root explorer.
the file is:
/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml
reboot, and everything should be just find !

Thank you very much for your help, it worked for me too.
But now I have another problem - when I want to send an MMS (press the add picture, go to gallery, tap the pic I want to add - application Messages crashed).
Can your wizardry help with that problem?

Stock news & weather widget

I recently switched to Crash V6 XXLRG 4.0.4 ROm which is absolutely superb
The only thing I miss is the stock Samsung 4 x 1 news & weather widget.
Having saved it from a previous LQ2 stock ROM, I have reinstalled and can use the associated app but the widget itself did not install.
Is there any way of being able to install it?
Thanks in advance...

Hi - I think so in so far as I used the install app function on CWM and clicked yes when the blurb came up about it being a system app and did I want to replace it...

Thanks for taking the trouble to upload this Dr. Ketan - I installed it but unfortunately no change; it works as an app but no 4 x 1 widget!

Have you put this in system/app folder and change permission?
Simply installation won't work

Thanks Dr Ketan & afilopou - finally worked out how to do this and have moved it to the system app folder, and changed the permission to the same as all the other apps in the folder, namely -rw-r-r-- but widget still does not appear in the add to home screen widget gallery ...
Am I doing something wrong?
I would welcome any other suggestions!

You did it correctly.
And you need to reboot
another thing are you sure you are not using autostart or same application and you have disable to load this appl on boot? this also cause not to display on widget list.

2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back!
I have updated CRASH to v7, widget now installed, however neither the widget or app will actually work - I get an error message saying "network error - try again later" which means I can't acess any news at all!
NB. Wif/data/downloads are working for everything else
There must be a way of rectifying this?!

Miraculously started working of its own accord - nice when it happens this way round as opposed to things that were working suddenlynot doing so...
Thanks again for help/advice.

Download "SemcAlbum.apk" from HERE (source) and then place it in your device's system>>app folder using Root Explorer and set the permissions as "RW-R--R--" and then reboot i.e. restart your device, DONE!

Still facing the same problem.

[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!

[7.0-7.1] How to achieve Pixel Features and Look on any Rooted Android Device

Hi! Guys Today I will share a guide on How to achieve Pixel features and look on almost any android device running android Nougat.
What you need?:- A rooted Nougat device, Root file manager(I recommened ES), Brain
Lets start:-
Go into root of your device using your fav. file manager and search for build.prop. Usually it lies in system folder but if not found search it. Open it with any text editor and add this two lines at it's end.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Now reboot your device.
After your device turns on Clear Google App data.(Clear whole data and not cache only).
Now long press on your device to launch Google assistant:laugh::laugh: .
Now another step.
Open playstore and install pixel launcher and wallpapers by google.
Now you need Link2SD.(Install if not already Installed)
Now open Link2SD find & convert Pixel launcher and wallpapers into system apps and reboot again. (This step enables Google Now on swipe).
Now Download the boot animation app by Jrummy from playstore and install the boot animation zip i provided or manually push it into your system where your boot animation is stored.(Normally it's stored in system>media)
Copy audio files and replace it with your default files in system>media>audio.
Now if you want more follow:- (Not recommened for CM users but i hadn't encountered any problem on my CM though )
Download substratum from Playstore and Pixel Ui which is similar theme for this app and apply it via the substratum. Reboot
Cm users can skip many steps and use any pixel theme and icon pack from Playstore and apply it via Themes app natively installed.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
It's Done. Now enjoy all features and look of Pixel on your device.
While i encountered that google assistant doesn't recognize your voice I can't do anything for it now. I will keep looking to make it work but it will take time.Sorry.
You can also just download the launcher and wallpaper and install it. It still works that way. Also you can manually push them into system if required. But i suggest you to use bootanimation via substratum only as i pulled the zip file from PixelUi.
Here is a thread on Pixel experince you may want to take a look here too if you want to avoid so much work and go for flashing zips:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...xel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907/page1
Tips:- Signup for google beta tester on playstore and update your google app to latest beta version for seamless google assistant work.
You may add those two build.prop at the end and don't change your default model number. It will still work.
Boot animation have a huge chances to work normally as the just conatin minimal animations and cover center of screen. So try it out and tell me.
This is my first guide. Please PM me or quote if you have any doubts before rating my guide bad.
Thank me if you liked my guide and my assistance.:laugh:
