Hey guys, is it possible to have the new Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman stock ROM for the X8? The new Timescape looks quite nice and the Walkman app has changed tremendously and you can also change the theme now like the thread bubble colour and background colour in the Messaging app. I hope that it can be done really soon
What I can promise is that I'll port Xperia Active apps for SE look and feel to FXP CM7 ROM for max stability. Porting will start tomorrow, when I get Xperia Active system.sin.
Something like this is already available for X10, Arc and Play - CM7 ROM with SE stock apps by Achtojan - CM7 speed with the beautiful SE 2.3 style.
Also, if someone has got Live with Walkman firmware, please PM me.
That looks interesting

Well, mostly thematical, but with the actual Active's/Live's apks.
I do it mostly because I really miss a lot Play's UI.
And yeah, it'll be based on FXP CM7.
woah nice 1 Blagus, cant wait. Does this mean we might be able to get the FB discovery app where we can share apps,music and so on?
Maybe which one do you prefer? Active or Live with Walkman?
both please. I would like to see the phone again with the same feeling when I turned it on.

Combination is what I was thinking about.
Of course, boot animation, notification bar, everything, plus the smoothness of CM7 ROM

yh, it would be nice to have a mixture . Have you begun on this lovely project?
That would a great combination
Hello, I write to you all Arc owners because you have to know the truth!
With the last ics (and also gingerbread some apps) the phone is really slow opening simple apps like the gallery, the telephone dialer, and more things you perfectly know. The incredible comes now! I installed the xperia S ics apps, launcher etc, and incredibly all works like a charm. The gallery is incredibly fast, the telephone dialer opens very quickly, the launcher don´t have lag etc....
This is a Sony strategy to make us think that the arc is outdated and buy a new phone.....it´s a shame! Sony do the things right with 2011 xperias!!!!!!!!!!
we will need more feed back on this! cause its really getting very annoying to wait every time you want to dial a number!
for me it takes around 3 days after a restart when the dialer starts to lag..so i used to restart the phone every 3-4 days to make everything smooth again ..anyways xperia s ICS apps looks promising
Strange, my phone became slower once I installed the Xperia S ICS apps. Especially the dialer.
can i have the post from where to install the apps for Xperia S.
and a tutorial will also be appreciated !

Man this is F**king crazy. just installed it and now i can say that my ARC ICS is as smooth as gingerbread. How come that this made my ICS experience so good. its so smooth and no lag. I've have rooted my arc and i've deleted all the bloatware but it was still laggy.. now it's like ice on water.. so f**cking smooth.. try it and you wont regret it.
the album gallery, phone apps, contact apps and messaging apps is just great.
It is true, the Xperia S ICS launcher makes it much smoother now on old lovely Arc (LT15i), so I recommend everyone to try it. It is not just wishful thinking it really makes a difference. :good::good:
But I have a bug when I receive a call, the screen goes black for 3 seconds before I can answer the call, but I dont know why yet (Stock .431 firmware with Trinity kernel and Xperia S ICS launcher). :crying:
Letter to sonymobile:
I´m an angry Xperia Arc user. Like other users i have been here giving feedback, requesting new things, but i see nothing..........xperia arc is laggy, slow, have and old kernel, etc. What happen with the galery? It´s pathetically slow, and the same for the music player when it have to load the covers, the launcher is not fluid and not to talk about the ics telephone dialer.
What makes me laugh is that yesterday I install in my arc the xperia s ICS apps, and what surprise! the gallery works super fast, launcher with no lag, walkman with equializer, mega bass, more and beautiful widgets, the phone dialer opens instantly and many other features.
Sony this is the promise of been updated 18 months? What Xperia arc users have done to deserve this?
Why the xperia S software works better on a 2011 telephone? Very bad sony!
Why don´t you install the new software in the 2011 phones by default, you have it already created!!! But no, you have to give us very bad optimized software, yes I understand this is an strategy to make us buying a new phone....this is the time to take note sony! Give us what whe want.
Would love to see reply from Sony!

Sony is playing their cards really well.making us believe that our ARC \ S is outdated & our hardware cannot handle ICS.The Xperia S ICS apps work really fast & with efficiency on our ARC \ S.Lets say for example Sony's latest models Xperia Miro , Tipo.these handsets r running 800mhz processor & Adreno 200.& to think these r getting the ICS out of the box.how is that possible ??? & seeing this i think the X10 community will be in a RIOT(i just moved from X10).
Our Handsets r more than capable of running ICS.
Sony disappointed me for sure.I think they did not even put in decent effort to build ICS for Xperia 2011 line up.they want us to think our phones r outdated & want us to buy their new "SONY" branded handsets..
Shame on u SONY !!!
Marketing strategy dude!! the dirty strategy!

Can someone please tell me if the camera can shoot repeated shots now with ICS?
And also, is this build stable? Cause i've seen some people saying that the phone lags with ICS.

No it does not shoot repeated shots, buy you can download the app called fast burst camera lite from the market that does. Also if you flash Arconium 4.0 and Trinity kernel V1.6, then flash the Xperia S apps you will have a nice fast and stable ICS.

it's a marketing strategy
if all 2011 xperia phones get the same software as those 2012 xperia phones
then there will be no selling points for those 2012 xperia phones
marketing is not just only about giving what customer wants, but also making customer wants.
but now it seems that sony just p*** us off by just porting some of the xperia S apps on gingerbread to ICS without optimizing them (while those news phones have new apps, e.g. dialer, walkman), some stock apps remains the same except a polished icon (like the stock alarm, music player, etc) i bet the xperia S apps on ICS are optimized for ICS
it's not the first time that sony p*** users off, everything marketing campaign (all early birds receive almost no promotional offer), releasing arc S at the same price of arc ~6 months after arc was released. sony makes beautiful phone but doesn't do beautiful marketing
I made a comparison between the stock Android 4.4 (KitKat) user interface and the new Sony Xperia user interface (since Android 4.3 for Xperia Z).

Some little things I like on Kitkat, but basically I do not like the stock android UI.
u can't do this comparison in this way , it should be stock 4.3 and sony 4.3
or wait for sony 4.4 kitkat and then do the comparison between them ,
totally not fair

The main idea was to do a comparison 'Google Nexus vs. Sony Xperia'.
Currently, Nexus devices are on Android 4.4 and Xperia devices are on 4.3.
Anyway, do you think that Sony will change its interface a lot for Android 4.4?
Wen sony comes out with their official kitkat, m sure it'll be unique... That time it'll be best to compare with Google Nexus KK vs Sony Xperia KK
~ Zapped Using X-Zed ~
I would also prefer SONY´s existing UI in Android 4.3 as well as I get used to it since weeks.
Let´s wait and see, what 4.4 brings us next when SONY releases Kitkat. As of now, I´m totally pleased with 4.3 SONY UI.
And as for my opinion on comparison, its
SONY SONY SONY all the way....:thumbup:

am using pacman rom 4.3 + install kitkat 4.4 rom theme cm same as pic on left side

Of course sony ui is the best(in my opinion). I always like sonys style. Different, simple, elegant and unique.
Sony Xperia Z & Tapatalk 2
After CM 11 and Omni also back to Sony 4.3. The Sony UI is way Better than CM or Omni and the camera is out of discussion. The Sony camera is so much better that you cannot compare it. I also missed FM Radio....
Back to 4.3 and hapy here

Stock Android UI looks so cheap...
and i can say SONY one reason i like is because i like their UI.
I really needed this comparison! thank you..
The winner is SONY for me so i'll stick to sony firmware
When I had my S3 there was nothing to compare with ugly touchwiz

Imo its need "special file" to make that feature :fingers-crossed: and i also wanna it happen.
Oiya, is your walkman background colour following album-art colour? I already ask this on thread about Walkman App but no one (yet) answer it.
If I recall, you can't get that on CM11 since it needs some files from the stock ROMs which in the best case scenario, requires a lot of work to get them ported.
As for the background, yes, it will change acording to the album as long as the app is in the system (or at least for me).
Either you are using stock 4.3.3 or CM 12.1 or 13 (as CM Theme Engine is really powerful), share the name of theme you are using and if possible share link from where you have downloaded. No warez links please.
Screenshots of home-screen would be highly appreciated. :laugh:
I use Levo by Pixkart (CM12 theme)
It is not a theme, to be exact, but it is an app to generate a theme, from which you can manually choose colours for different apps! It is the most customisable CMTE theme i can find so far, and I really recommend you to use it!
Sadly though, the development is on hiatus and on a slow pace because the developer had an accident. But he really did teased a screen shot of the upcoming Levo that would completely support CM13 theme engines! I can't wait for it
Oh yeah and I have to say although the theme works fine on CM13, it would still give some minor problems to your CM13 experience. One problem i find so far is the Accounts section in Settings crashing.. Other than that it still excels very well!
It is kind of expensive if you ask me, but hey it is quite a masterpiece for me and you should definitely try it! If it is boring, or not worth your money, you can always get a refund immediately after purchase
Also i can't give any screen shot because i am not currently using the theme. But still, that is because of my lust for ultimate stability. Nah jk, actually i kind of quite often go to the Accounts section, so having the Settings crashing isnt really fun.. So i have to adapt to the boring stock theme until the new Levo pops out on my Play Store update notification
Another creation of the same person is named as Prozt. Although it is not as customisable as Levo, it is also customisable to some extent too. You might want to check it out too
I use my Xperia Z5 theme and Xperia X for CM12 and CM13
