Default froyo theme for CM 6.1 builds -for those who like default froyo look.

PS. Sometimes when changing from camera to video doesn't work, for this just restart the app.

What wood panel are you taking about
now the camera no longer hangs, thanks for the work.
So I tried to put in the camera APK, the folders you listed did not exist so I made them and put the APK I downloaded into the folder but it will not install, it fails
Any advise?

The camera fix changes the theme of the camera app. It has a fancy woodpanel-like frame now.
Is there a way to change it back to the stock theme/frame?
I have also noticed continuous auto focus is gone in the camcorder and the camera only focuses after you have pressed the shutter button.

Camera fix doesn't work by me...
i make pictures, go into preview and back to camera, than camera makes problems:-(
(Sorry for my englisch)
Camera Mod works for me, although sometimes I can't exit by pressing back, if this happens I need to press Home then select camera again, then back to exit. But all in all a huge improvement many thanks, running on BiffMod HD2 1.2
Can someone please share the steps to putting this into place? I am unable to it seems. When I try and run the APK it fails to install and if I just have it in the folder specified then I still have the problem. I am using BiffMod 1.2

You should use Root explorer or SUFBS or another program that has root acces to system, then you can manually copy the camera app to system/app.
This works for fixing the flash issue but I noticed I can no longer click the thumbnail in the bottom corner of the screen and look at the pictures I take in the gallery. It is a minor issue but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.

I take back my words from sony... ICS is awesome and not bad!!
I was on gingerbread 2.3.4 .62 version i reseted my phone using factory data reset, erased sd aswell. Then i Installed fresh .62 my country generic using flash tools. Then skiping setup guide and without signing in google or even activating wi-fi i straight away updated via Sony PC Companion to ICS by selecting mass storage mode .
As it got updated to ICS i powered phone on and completed the setup guide of it.. Then i switched phone off and took out the battery, sd card, and even sim card for few seconds like 20-30 seconds. Then inserted all back in, powered phone on and rooted it and its unbelievably good than the previous time i installed ICS.
Maybe Sony can't say to us that after installing new ICS and completing startup guide steps, then switch off and then take out battery,sim,sd card and insert it again and power on... So please do this once guys, it may surely show You the difference!
If you are already on ICS and facing problems, just do factory data reset and repair your phone via sus or PC Companion after backing up ur data, then after completion turn your phone on complete the setup guide, switch phone off and then take out the battery n stuff, and insert it back, power on and then see it should definately show u improvement!
* Please definately turn on your phone once after you install ics and complete setup guide or skip it and then switch off and take out battery,etc and insert it back then n on it *
I have installed many apps, games, etc and its still very smooth, dialer even opens very fast, 1-2 sec it takes time but as u click it forces itself to show it wants to open as fast as it can on ICS .
The more i installed apps it didn't slowed down!!
Picking up call was very smooth really, no lag/glitch atall .!!
Video plays smooth and perfectly fine .. love the task bar, browser is nice too!
* Note: I did removed junk apps from sys/apps (i did it before and that time i didn't felt any much difference as it lagged, but this time it massively improved by doing this)
Great hardware acceleration... install's apps fast, opens them quickly and smoothly.. love it now!! No wi-fi issues ..
I feel clarity/screen of phone looks gr8,better and smater on ICS
I noticed about the framerate per second (fps) that as i used Quadrant Standard test. Earlier on gingerbread it showed me in somewhere 3d/2d benchmark about 49-52 fps, edit: now on ics it shows maximum 49-50 fps in the test.
Camera is all fine is still smooth i havn't noticed any difference/slowness while recording ..
When moving from one home screen page to another, it rarely but does lags which would be nice if it gets fixed if a new update be provided... Same happens in the in-menu icon pages, and when pressed the menu button it lags rarely and then opens the menu mayb tries to show smoothness but lags instead. I am just on transition animation .5x and windows animation also on .5x (But really these cons can be managed and ignored as they rarely show little lag)
Games not playable, i don't know who to blame but many are not playable, and i know it will be fixed soon so no worries ...
Edit : Temple run got fixed itself with its new update! So its a game makers issue ...
So in the end i am now going to stick to ICS and not going back atall ..
Please press thanks if this method helped
Latest Arc S Quadrant Standard test Result on ICS 4.0.3 :
Video of Ics Performance on My Xperia Arc S : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmEb2gCrTVE&feature=youtu.be
**Please note i was seing my phone via cybershot's screen so wasn't able to click icons accurately sometimes, so its not any response/touch issue or anything with the phone**
I did slow page to page turn so to show i am not skipping or faking it as i believe turning pages fast would be wrong and ignoring its real performance and wouldn't be able to make out or show if its really lagging or not
Its all infront of you, So what do you say or think of it?!
Cheers!!
has any arc (not arc s) user tried this ?

Hey people the games problem is not a Sony deal a friend of mine has a Galaxy Nexus with ICS vanilla 4.0.3 and he has the same gaming problems i think this is a ICS problem and i hope that they fix it with 4.0.4 i had problems with asphalt 6 dead space tintin and backstab all games licensed not cracked, also a have to say that modern combat 3 uno and NFS hot pursuit has no problem here they run very good on stock ICS on my arc s
why would it work now
just because y took the sd,sim and battery for a while
it does add up
for a matter of fact GB is so fine with me ive installed the home launcher of the xperia s and its pretty good i think it's better if Sony release a new official version of ICS before thinking of installing it again
Good News

i am using only stock which means official sony android 4.0.3 ics that sony is presently giving, yes i had unlocked my bootloader then i locked it aswell when i had gingerbread, did it for other reasons not for ics
And yes its not sony's fault as the games not being playable...
But awesome!! news... i today at 7.15 am indian standard time, got a new update of temple run after that its running awesomely/flawlessly now,,,, so its modified for ics!!!
So its about time people are starting to make their games playable on sony xperia arc s with ics

i never said games would definately work after taking out battery n stuff, did i?
i clearly mentioned my steps above only to make ics get calibrated well so it works fine as it still is working like a charm since i installed it n posted this thread ...
And weather you be on 4.0.4 or 4.0.3, games need to be updated for our xperia arc s that's the only thing which can make games playable which are not playable presently.
And its justified now that i being on 4.0.3 i just got temple run update and it now is playable like a charm, left right swipe, jump, slide all working perfectly fine !!
Cheers!!

it should but i don't really know as i dont have arc i have arc s . But if u are not getting yet an official update of ics from sony for ur arc, then u better wait as if u get a loose ftf of ics and u flash it via flash tools, it might giv u data error in end which would not erase ur data and might impact badly on performance....
so if u get official update and then do my stuff as posted on 1st post... it should definately show improvement and games as told few are now being playable on ics .... its the games official who are now making games playable on our xperia arc s
i strongly believe even if a game is playable on a different phone for like a fake example say on samsung nexus with 4.0.3 and not on arc s with 4.0.3... then the games are strongly modified for seperate phones to be playable individually.
which means if u see game develepors also sometimes link phones that this game is playable on these n these phones, so i believe its alot of hard work that they do n develop that one game be playable for all the phones they mention or for totally all android phones in the world like angry birds.. so they do different scripting for each different phone models and modify scripting for all phones they build that game for, all over again when a different firmware/update comes for that particular phone .
I install .42 to get root on my Arc S, then update from OTA to .62 and when i connect to PC the PCC pop up with ICS Generic.
Im from Portugal and my carrie doesn't provide any official ICS update.
The only problems i see so far (i only install yesterday) is the Go Locker that has the data text out of the screen and i see a lot of battery drain.
Do you think this will help this issues?
Thanks

This is a problem from the app not from the ICS
Anyway i made what you did, i wiped and reset all, repair the phone from PCC, then complete the sing in, restar phone, take SIM, SD and battery and wait, turn on the phone and root it and seams much more fluid and fast but i will give a feedback after try for few days.
The only problem is that i can´t charge the phone when is turned off. This happens with anyone else?
I turn off the phone, i connect the cable with charger to a wall socket and the SONY logo appear but then after a while the logo disappear and reappear again and keep doing this all time and never charge.
I have the phone ROOTED with CWM app recovery, USB Debbugin turn on this is normal!?

i never faced that charging problem when phone being switched off or anything yet, mayb due to cwm or i dont know... but the easiest way to root ics is with Root Exploit OneClick . i uploaded the file for you here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/kx8Ezp1G/Root_Exploit_OneClick.html
Just you have to be in debuggin mode and check the unknown sources ... attach the phone to pc, run the 'run me' batch file. Phone will restart few 2-3 times and all will be sucessfull with root
also i have not installed cwm on ics yet and don't want to as for now ..... and few or many apps are not compatible for ics as they are not updated for ics by the developers, so its not ics's fault .
if u don't mind and if u havn't transfered ur data back in, just do it all again hardly would take 10-15 mins..... reset and repair via Sony PC Companion(when i repair, it updates instantly as it detects already downloaded update files from somewhere in pc) and then take out battery stuff, insert all back then power it on and then root with oneclick, then check the same...
And also remove junk apps if you want, the junk apps i removed from ics are:
AntHalService.apk
antradioservice.apk
antstatenotifer.apk
AppEnabler.apk
chinesetextinput.apk
com.qoowaa.act.apk
datatrafficswitch.apk
JapaneseIME.apk
letsgolf_ay.apk
officesuite.apk
PicoTts.apk
POBoxSknPink.apk
POBoxSknWood.apk
Protips.apk
SemcEmail.apk
SEMCSetupWizard.apk
Stk.apk
Talk.apk
Talkback.apk
trackid.apk (removed the old one n installed the new one from market to sd)
widgetanalogclock.apk
widgetdigitalclock.apk
widgetworldclock.apk
and also deleted apps from system/etc/product/applications(it will have the mcafee n 2-3 more etc apps)
if you want to remove junk apps from system, just move them to sd (i use root explorer in rw mode) in a folder named like "ics junk apps" restart your phone so apps get removed properly, then update the remaining sys apps via wi-fi or however
if you want any of the sys apps back later in system, just correct the permissions rw,r,r then move them to system in rw mode .
only telling you all this.. so u get the best out of it!
Cheers!!

well i have backed up my things on pc... so i just copy paste it. And my contacts, messages n logs i back them up using sms backup app, but nevermind .... well my suggestion is u can install cwm for your back-up, but try to root it my way .. mayb ur shutdown and then be able to charge phone problem gets solved as simple as that
i dont use cwm as back up because i think if it backs up everything which was there before then that is logically wrong, like files that automatically gets created by phone like android data, something like those they might get overwritten on new updated files of ics which might go wrong... like being on fresh updated ics then backin up/recovering ur data, and the ics created files in sd or system being overwritten by backed up gingerbread files/apps w.e using cwm or i dont know, even its my myth i strive for perfection that "To make it new, have everything new"....
if i have updated my phone so i would let only the fresh files be there that is created by phone and then installing back my apps..... i have my back-up apps in root uninstaller, so i just install them back(i copy/paste root uninstaller folder filled with my apps from pc to phone)
then copy/pasting the videos,music n images from pc to phone and i am done ..... i don't mind if it takes longer .
Problem solve!!! Was a fix that need to be done in CWM
How about the video quality? When my arc s upgraded to 4.0.3 it had very laggy video recording - compare to former GB.
Is there any news that sony will repair this ics upgrade?

Hi,
why not use the latest build from Quarx for CM10....or else you can try Epsylon's build for your defy...
And make sure you start afresh....Clean Everything and then install the ROM hopefully things should work...
Thanks
I have the same problem too.
First version I installed is the 12 Aug nightly Quarx CM10. All wipes etc done before flashing.
Existing music and pictures that were on the SD card not found.
All new images taken with the camera are placed in the same folder as the existing ones on the SD card.

try to clear the data and the cache of gallery, and it will be ok. but for music player,i still dont find a easy way to solve
Same problem here
I got the same problem with the gallery and the music...
Since i flashed the rom the pictures wont show up and the musick library wont find anything to play...
Already tried to reflash, cleaned everything, tried different roms, tried script to rescan media on boot but always the same problem... seems like the rom broke something? i could arrange with everything basically but since i cant use my defy as a musicplayer anymore... :X
