How to localise a stock based ROM after flashing Custom ROM - Xperia SP General

Okay, im not sure if any of this has any real effect on the phone other than faster GPS lock but this is what I do after installing any stock based Rom like eXistenZ or PureXSP.
1. Make sure you are rooted with busybox installed
2. Download a build.prop editor from the Play Store, I used the one inside ROM Toolbox Pro
2. Look for the following lines and change their values to suit your home country/original firmware settings. I am using my UK settings as example.
- ro.com.android.dateformat: DD-mm-yyyy
- ro.product.locale.excluded: (remove any locales if you dont want them excluded)
- ro.product.locale.language: en
- ro.product.locale.region: GB
- ro.semc.version.cust: 1272-4687
3. Download FasterGPS from Play Store - change settings in the app to your nearest GPS server/location
Done!
If anyone knows any other ways or missed values, please let me know.
This may be common knowledge to most but it may help some new Sony users.

[GUIDE]How to setup 240 dpi on your rom

Hey everyone.
This is my first post in s3 section. I made a guide on how to setup 240 dpi on note 2 and I thought it would be a great idea since the requisites are available for both the phones.
UtkarshGupta said:
Hey everyone
This is my first guide so please be polite
In this guide I will show you how to setup 240dpi or possibly any dpi on your rom.
Links to all the requisites will be given below.
But what is dpi ?
It is the value that manages most ui of the system. a lower dpi means everything would be smaller hence more things could be fitted in the giant screen we have. a higher means everything would be larger hence less could be fitted into the screen
Before We Begin I Want To Clarify The Following-
1)First and foremost I am not responsible for any damage you cause.
2)I assume you have already rooted your phone and have some experience with rooting.
3)You have made backup to be sure that in case you mess up you you can return to what it was like before.
4)Read the whole post before actually starting.
5)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
So let's Begin-
1)Download and setup xposed framework (Very good instructions on how to do it in the thread) (You need to reboot).
2)Download these modules - xposed app settings , gappscrashfix , all apps in play store.
3)Enable all the 3 modules (You need to Reboot).
4)Now open xposed app settings and set open each app listed below and in dpi enter 320 but don't change anything else.
-calculator
-camera
-clock
-contacts
-dialer storage
-fm radio
-messaging
-task manager
-touchwiz home
-weather widget main
Now some of these could be skipped or some could be added(can be tested but imao that will make the ui ugly but still it's completely your choice).
Also modded versions of some of these apps has been provided by bala_gamer.
5)Before we begin copy the modded samsung keyboard from the link given or setup some other keyboard and make it default.
6)Now open /system/build.prop or use a build.prop editor if you are very conscious and change the following line "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
7)Now before we reboot we need to include apply one fix , so instead of rebooting , power off your phone
8)Then go into recovery and flash the modded samsung keyboard.
9)Reboot and enjoy 240dpi.
Note -
1)The stock keyboard will constantly force close on 240 dpi (if you use xposed settings to set it to 320dpi, you will be practically unable to use it), so bala_gamer(thank him) has customized it to work properly on 240 dpi.
2)Recovery must be custom (ofcourse ).
3)Be sure to flash the correct version of modded apps (i.e. 4.1.1 if you have it or 4.1.2 if you have that)
4)I don't know if gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore are actually required but nothing bad in using it.
5)I know the explanation of dpi is incorrect but that's all you need to know.
6)Installing xposed framework doesn't affect simplistic framework at all.
7)The gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore you download would be in .zip format. Just rename them to .apk and you can install it then.
8)Many apps especially the system ones or samsung ones aren't ment to scale well. They are just meant to look good at 320dpi so they will look way ugly at 240dpi. To fix this xposed settings is used. You need to set it for each app that you think is ugly.
9)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
Finally the links-
1)xposed framework - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 (Link to modules page in his thread).
2)modded apps - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001577
And not to forget credits
-rovo89 for framework
-bala_gamer for modded apps
-numerous other people who helped me in some way or the other (please pm me if I forgot anyone).

That just modifies the DPI in build.prop. It does not make apps scale selectively. If I'm not mistaken, the Xposed FW is like what Paranoid Android has with its Hybrid engine, where you can selectively scale apps.

Correct but that will only do the step 6 of this guide if I am not wrong and most of the ui would be broken

[Q] Omega Rom V12

I have installed Omega V12 on my Note3, didnt edit the application that come with it.
Is there a way to go back or to modify (Add or Delete) certain Apps?
1. This forum is dedicated to the paranoid android ROM. So you should probably look for omega ROM in your device forum.
2. While I'm not familiar with the ROM you should be able to add and remove apps the same way you do in stock. Download from play store and uninstall from settings.

HOW TO INSTALL:-
1-- wipe data

arrest failed write raw image boot.img failed
but dont worry its all right. the error is usual and no harm from that message.
But if you dont get this error and get something else pricate message me about problem
GETTING LOLLIPOP LOOK IN ROM:-
when you open the keyboard it does not looknlike lollipop more it looks more weared the the stock. but dont be cheated by looks. go to settings of keyboard aelect the google keyboard and then goto its afvanced settings there is a option of color. in that select the material and head back one step and in top most item select the languages of keyboard. select both english us and uk. by doing so you will be able to input text using google voice. just you have to click on notification in status ar whenever you open the keyboard to start voice typing.
KEYBOARD PROBLEM IS SOLVES.
now looking at the camera and dialer app. we get a wieard feeling that every thing is just shifted a bit from original place. this is deu to cange in dpi of device in build.prop. but this can be corrected by using xposed framework and its module named as app setting. i have provided both the apk in the zip file just follow the instructions.
1-- open xposed framework and select the framework option and then click on install
2-- after a reboot now open same app again and select modules and tick all modules in the list and reboot your device.
3-- after the reboot open the app setting app and select the dialer app and change dpi to 240 and save the settings. do same thing for camera and then open the apps. they will be corrected by now.
DPI PROBLEM IS SOLVED
goto to lollipop notifier app and enable heads up notification.
HEADS UP NOTIFICATION ARE ONNN.
goto lollipop dialer app and enable it to use the dialer app
DIALER APP IS ONNN.
goto tinting app and follow the instructions
1-- tick on animate color change
2-- tick on react to action bar visiblity change
TINTING STATUS BAR IS ONNN.
goto monsterUI app
and select per app theming and select the app which you want to theme like lollipop. tap on that app and choosw the dark theme and reopen the app.
SYSTEMUI AND FRAMEWORK ONNN.
Convert android emulator as user app and then use it.
ALL SOLVED!!!!

6-- the content in the screen are too small?
Just go to build.prop and change the lcd_dpi to 240 at two places in build.prop and reboot.
7--rom does not have performance?
Wrong queation you can play mortal combat x at 47 fps . And asphalt 8 at medium quality without any lag. Some users say that the sound in need fr speed moat wanted shatters. Now that is a low ram problem because the ram is not able to manage that mich data thats why video is on priorty and audio lays behing.
8-- whats antutu benchmark score?
Its 11461 with maximum battery saver options and 12996 at max performanve options. This is something very good no need tp overclock rom sa overclocking leads to overheating and damages.

To port cm12 we have to deodex the framework and systemui. These are not deodexed in my rom because they do create problem upon deodexing.
Secondly to port any rom we should have a proper flashable .img or .tar format aor just simple folders not like that of cm12 .win.dat they cant be opened.
If can be opened then you can reply the post with the method to open it.
If anyone having a cm12 rom on any device closer to core 2 and having api 19 then hd can do us a favor.
Install android terminal and type
su
tar -c /system/* /sdcard/system.tar
This will take time be pacience and uplode the tar file on drive and send link here so that we can also start building cm12 rom for core 2
Thanks for someone who will spend his mbs to uplode

This is an incomplete business. It doesn't work. Mere waste of time have to go back to recovery.

Single different instruction you must have skipped is to format system and that causes problem.
Do not write directly on form first pm me for any problem.

Use app settings module of xposed framework.
There change dpi to 240 and click on save button.
Force close the dialer app amd reopen it.
It will take effects.
Can do same thing with gallery.camera.dialer and any other app you feel like
