[Q] Paying for the Custom ROM?? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was gifted the Sony Ericsson Arc as a replacement for my current phone the HTC Desire. After using the HTC Desire for the last 1 year , I am finding it very difficult to get used to the Sony Ericsson UI (problems like : no smart dialer, the contacts are all messed up,all the text size is huge, the randomly flickering display etc..).
I was wondering whether there is anyone or any place I can pay money to create a custom ROM. When I say custom ROM I dont mean Cyanogen or others like that (I mean the stock ROM with the proper replacements for dialer,contacts editor, facebook integration etc..) , I just want a ROM on my phone which will look and feel like the HTC Sense UI (again I am not asking for the actual Sense UI, as I understand thats impossible).
Thanks.
Any help is appreciated.

You understand the HTC apps require the sence framework, so they will not work on the arc, there are many other dialer and contacts replacements, you can download from the market, Go dialer and contacts for example is excellent

The makers of TouchPal Keyboard have a smart dialer app called TouchPal Dialer. Haven't tried it out but it's available for free on the market.
The android 2.3.3 update brought Facebook integration to the xperia range.

How does relate to my post?

Thanks for the info.

Sorry, I should have explained. You wanted a custom ROM basically a stock ROM but a replacement for the dialer, right? I was just pointing out an app using which you could replace the stock dialer (and which supported smart dialing).
Facebook integration was another aspect you mentioned.
xboxfanj posted a thread by which you could the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen using Agile Lock. You can find it here.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you wanted a stock arc ROM with the necessary changes; not the HTC ROM. Ooops!
But hey, I got the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen part right. LOL!

Blagus is working on a HTC Sense port for Xperia Play http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174309 once he starts the work it maybe matter of time once we get it for Arc since both are almost similar. If your talking about hiring someone then talk to one of the developers who are willing to accept the offer.

Well that's kind of the problem, I don't know which developer to ask. I can't do a post in the Sony Arc Development sub forum, cause the rules say I can't post Q&A queries in the forums. Is there any one I can ask or PM to find out how to build this custom ROM ??

As anyone else can tell you, a custom rom for the arc maybe a while before all the functions are workable, the camera is the problem, so maybe do as others have suggested and use third party apps to get the experience your after
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

The main problem with custom ROM is going to be Camera function because Arc has the latest Camera technology they haven't released the drivers or source for it so developers can make it work on custom ROM. So we have to wait until someone manage to port one so others can use it.

Thanks for the reply.
However I have explained in my first post that the kind of custom ROM I am asking is based on the stock ROM with appropriate replacements for the dailer,contacts,facebook integration,text size etc... Basically I want to simulate a Sense UI.

Perhaps a theme could you help you out for the time being till someone makes a custom ROM for you? At least you should be able to get similar icons, background wallpaper etc.

Magic/ION/Google ROM on the Hero!

Hi Guys!
I have been searching for days if someone has managed to install a clean google rom on his HTC Hero. I can only find people running rooted Hero Roms.
The point is, i want to get rid of all the HTC Apps. I've managed to delete a lot of the stock applications, and it improved the speed a lot!
If i install any other "Magic based rom" the phone will hang on the HTC boot screen.
If i push original google apps like "contacts.apk/.odex" to the phone, they won't run.
Can someone port the original Magic/ION rom to the Hero please? I know a lot of people want to run a "clean android" rom on the hero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My phone is rooted now with Modaco / CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF.

I cannot see the point why someone would want that . No offense , i mean all the HTC customisation and Rosie was the whole point in buying this device instead of the HTC Magic( which has the exact same specifications and a way lot cheaper)

To be honest, i don't really know why i bought the hero. I didn't know much about android at the time i bought one. Now i know better, but anyway, that's not what i want to discuss..
The magic can almost run any rom, why can't the hero run any rom i want?

Please people, i don't want to be a jerk, but don't come up with questions like "Why did you buy a hero then?" ..

I'm on the same boat. When I bought my hero I hadn't really seen any working Android phone, either stock or HTC. Now that I have seen both I think that the stock apps and interface are somehow saner than HTC's, and what can I say? I'd prefer to use them.
Why don't you run the Rosie remover. It will get you part of the way to where you want to go
Indeed! but I also prefer the stock browser, the stock music player, the stock calendar, the stock contact list and dialer... and so on. They look less flashy but handier to my taste.
I totally agree with, frandavid100. I would also love to have a vanilla android rom on my Hero.
Actually, why do magic roms not work with the hero? What kind of modification would you have to do for them to work?

I think that the hero rom is not like the win rom. i mean all the htc customisations superimposed on the windows ones. There, all we had to do was just to remove the htc ones and we automatically got the windows ones.
I guess android's different. we have to remove all the htc customisations and add android's ones. Problem is hero never had the android's applications. what could be done is take a magic rom, remove all the applications and try to port them to the hero.
Problems would definetely arise cause the 2 phones are not 100% identical. some software work on the magic but not on hero bla bla bla.
I know some stock apps do work with the hero. I have been able to use the stock calendar and browser in my hero by replacing the apk and odex files, however replacing the contacts app makes it hang.
We could try to make a list of what apps can be replaced and how, or maybe even make update.zip files specific for that, similar to modaco's rosie remover. How difficult would that be?

I think that you'll probably find that the difference here is that chefs with a Magic or G1 actively want to "upgrade" to the latest and greatest ROMs. So, when presented with a Hero ROM, they will make the effort to back port it to the hardware they have.
The situation with the Hero is a little different. Here we already have the "latest and greatest", so there is probably very little motivation for a chef to port what is essentially an earlier ROM to the Hero. What you need to find is a chef who has a Hero, who either wants to run stock android, or is interesting in the intellectual challenge!
So, it's not really the case that "the magic can almost run any rom" - it's that their are chefs with Magics who are building these ROMs.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks guys!
I knew i wasn't the only one who wanted a clean vanilla android rom on the hero. Like frandavid100 said before, till there's another "magic rom" or something, we could make a list of apps working on hero.
I've had the same thing with the Contacts.app. This makes the phone freeze, and after removing the battery it constantly reboots.
If we all together manage to make a list of apps, i can create an update.zip which does all the work.

Let's do a test. I know you can replace HTC's browser with Android's. I'm attaching the files for both, can you create an update.zip that removes the HTC files from /system/apps, and pushes the stock ones?

I will do that tomorrow ok? I live in The Netherlands and its 09.35pm and i'm watching a movie
BTW: I also have a stock Magic/ION image. I can extract the apps from there as well. Tomorrow i'll try some apps.
Thanks for the effort guys!
Just another quick post. Below you'll see a list of apps which i'm going to try tomorrow. Please post request apps if i forget one.
- Contacts (probably doesn't work)
- Phone (unknown - probably same as contacts)
- Browser (probably works)
- Music Player (probably works)
- Messages/sms?
- Camera (unknown)
- Albums (probably no multitouch)
- Camcorder (don't know if this one is available)
- Calender (probably works)
- Calculator (unknown)
- Clock (don't know if this one is available)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW; If you guys want the original android lockscreen, just remove HtcLockScreen.apk/odex. After reboot you'll have the original android lockscreen where you have to press "menu" to unlock. Works faster and ofcourse no lag!
Hey, if you come back during the ads... can you point me to that stock rom? I'd like to try some of those too.
I can advance that Browser and Calendar do work (I'm using them right now).

I am sorry.. i'm at my girlfriend and don't have my laptop with me tomorrow i'll post some links to different roms we can work with. But i can assure you they won't work on the hero.
Im also going to try to port the sapphire keyboard to the hero. Don't know if someone already did this, i haven't used google yet.
Actually, the keyboard is one of the few things I like from HTC's customisations I'll give the sapphire one a try tho!

Nexus One (Speak2Text) feature in Desire???

Hi
Just wondering if Desire will have same Nexus One (Speak-2-enter-text in text msgs & Google Maps etc) feature on it, plus all other cool features in N1 (as I don't own N1, nor I have used any Android phone yet so don't know if these features are in Android build or only for N1).
Can we also start a poll to take member's opinion which phone they think is better between HTC Desire & Nexus One...
Thanks
K7
None of the features are N1 only they're just features of Android 2.1 which is what the Desire runs on
According to cnet, the voice to text function is not there (out of the box)
guess it wouldn't be long before someone makes it happen
is an internet connection required for the speech2text function?
You could just install the stock android keyboard to the device to use it.
Although HTC's is incredibly accurate and seems to be able to predict exactly what you want no matter how ****ed up you mish mash at the keys
So while HTC Desire's Sense Keyboard does not support Voice to Text, the user can (without modding) switch to Android Keyboard and enjoy speech to text? Please can you confirm that? I was about to un-desire Desire because I so much expect to use S2T for posting online.

Assuming you can install the android keyboard without root, yes. One can install other keyboards without root (swype for example) so i don't see why the stock android keyboard would be any different.
There is something else to keep in mind. Just because you might be able to install the keyboard, the actual underlying support may have been removed. I don't have the desire rom installed on my nexus anymore or I would check to see if speech to text abilities were even there.

Speech to text has been there since 1.6 though, for google search and translate.
There is absolutely no reason at all why HTC would remove this they just haven't included it in their keyboard.
This means that the ability to get Speech to Text is already there embeded in the phone, you just need a keyboard with the "Speech to Text" button to make use of it in messaging.
As I m spending well few hours everyday 2 decide about which one
I should get Desire r N1... It's so tough 2 decide 1 of these 2 devices
as I like few things in N1 & few in Desire........ Text 2 Speech is
some thing I don't wan2 compromise on (I've read some where
that T2S is not very accurate at the moment but I m still so
fascinated by it), so if there is no such function available in
Desire....then I will go 4 N1.

If this functionality isn't present in the Desire upon release am I correct in assuming that someone will release a ROM where this is possible?
and also if its true that its just the keyboard that needs replacing is that something you need root to do? or can you just install a new keyboard? (Bit of a noob here)

Could everyone please keep thread on topic and stop posting off topic pics.
I would assume you have the Speech-to-Text feature on the Desire, as it was previously mentioned, it's an Android 2.1 feature, not a Nexus One exclusive feature. You also don't need to install any other keyboards, as the Desire Sense keyboard has the key already, as seen at 3:12 in the following video:

the problem is i follow what they do and it doesn't work i think the problem is that it doesn't actually have home installed on it i've looked thru all of the applications and its not there is there anyway to install it?
Why would you get a desire and NOT a nexus one if you don't like sense?
Find Launcher.apk, Launcher2.apk or one of the launcher replacements in the market (ahome, openhome, home++) and install them to replace the sense homescreen.

Complete Android noob here please explain
In overly simplified terms, Sense UI is HTC's home screen, where as Launcher2 is Google's home screen for N1.
All programs on Android come in APK files. That's like a CAB installer on WinMo.
So all you need to do is search Nexus One forum for Launcher2.apk, download it on your phone and install it. Then when you press home button, it will ask you which home to launch. Choose Android home (or something similar) instead of Sense UI, but DON'T make it default just yet as it might not work.
If it does, next time you can make it default an voila - you have yourself a "Nexus One".
Though Sense UI will still be running, so you don't really save any memory or anything.
I have posted in this forum how to turn of Sense on the Desire. Search 'How to turn of HTC Sense' or something.
Since in that clip there was ACTUALLY a Desire being used, it should work. From what I remember:
Go to settings, all programs, search HTC Sense, turn it off.

i've just downloaded launcher2.apk and now just to finish this phone call then i'm gonna test this out will report back. i feel like a crash test dummy lol
You could also try to install the Helixlauncher2 app from the Nexus One forum. It's a modified Nexus One launcher2 with a lot more features. I already made a thread in the Desire Themes and Apps forum since I'm curious whether it works flawlessly or not on the Desire. Maybe you can crash test that launcher too?
ok default launcher 2 doesn't work gonna try the other one mentioned now

you also loose all the nice widgets so i'm gonna stick with sense for the moment.

New Fusion!ROM R1 [Friday, May 14, 2010]

GSM HERO ONLY
What is it? Fusion!ROM is the idea of Fusing an HTC ROM with a AOSP ROM... it is based on a HTC port stripped down to resemble a AOSP ROM and is clean, very stable, and functional. This is not a Sense ROM
NO DONATIONS! FREE FREE FREE
Benefits...
Looks and feels like a AOSP ROM but with less bugs and more stability, more stuff really working with good speeds and no random reboots.
AOSP Camera always working at 5MP without random corruption, video too.
AOSP Keyboard has a background.
Gallery 3D is really working not just reloading itself when you rotate your phone.
Includes all stock AOSP apps. with the exception of the "in-call" dialler functions.
A2SD Working if you have a partition set.
Superuser permissions
No JIT = more stability I will test a JIT flavor soon.
The catch... some HTC stuff remain hidden because they are required by the frameworks.
The status bar is black because the HTC frameworks have been compiled with white fonts. Maybe some HEX editing can fix this.
When using the search feature the graphics are a little off by a few pixels but everything works 100% maybe I can fix this.
You need to complete the HTC setup wizard if you want USB disk mounting to work... I recommend skipping to the finish and then setting up your mail and other accounts after.
The Dialler is AOSP but the "in call" keypad is HTC I have not found a way to replace Phone.apk with the stock AOSP one.
All settings work but the Personalize functions are removed so they will cause a force close if you try and use them.
Animations are disabled by default... just enable them.
Using the HTC Lockscreen for now... the AOSP one has no background.
HTC Contacts and Call log remain in launcher "all apps" and are required for syncing to work but you don't have to use them at all and they won't show there ugly faces, just make sure you pick AOSP Contacts as your default when prompted.
Things to test...
Multi-language stuff... do locals work?
Google sync works but is it also possible to sync your contacts and calendar using HTC sync?
Internet tether is untested please report.
Feel free to report any bugs that affect your Android experience I'll do what I can to help.
Camera Greenish color? I get different results if I leave the white balance set to auto in various lighting and I think that is normal.
A full wipe is recommended...if you are coming from a different ROM.

R1 is available.
This is a re-release of the FusionAOSP attempt... this time all site rules are satisfied and I even changed the ROM name by popular demand.
Please do not post in this thread unless you have actually tried this ROM and have something interesting to say. Thank you.

GSM HERO ONLY
What is it? Fusion!ROM is the idea of Fusing an HTC ROM with a AOSP ROM... it is based on a HTC port stripped down to resemble a AOSP ROM and is clean, very stable, and functional. This is not a Sense ROM
NO DONATIONS! FREE FREE FREE
Benefits...
Looks and feels like a AOSP ROM but with less bugs and more stability, more stuff really working with good speeds and no random reboots.
AOSP Camera always working at 5MP without random corruption, video too.
AOSP Keyboard has a background.
Gallery 3D is really working not just reloading itself when you rotate your phone.
Includes all stock AOSP apps. with the exception of the "in-call" dialler functions.
A2SD Working if you have a partition set.
Superuser permissions
No JIT = more stability I will test a JIT flavor soon.
The catch... some HTC stuff remain hidden because they are required by the frameworks.
The status bar is black because the HTC frameworks have been compiled with white fonts. Maybe some HEX editing can fix this.
When using the search feature the graphics are a little off by a few pixels but everything works 100% maybe I can fix this.
You need to complete the HTC setup wizard if you want USB disk mounting to work... I recommend skipping to the finish and then setting up your mail and other accounts after.
The Dialler is AOSP but the "in call" keypad is HTC I have not found a way to replace Phone.apk with the stock AOSP one.
All settings work but the Personalize functions are removed so they will cause a force close if you try and use them.
Animations are disabled by default... just enable them.
Using the HTC Lockscreen for now... the AOSP one has no background.
HTC Contacts and Call log remain in launcher "all apps" and are required for syncing to work but you don't have to use them at all and they won't show there ugly faces, just make sure you pick AOSP Contacts as your default when prompted.
Things to test...
Multi-language stuff... do locals work?
Google sync works but is it also possible to sync your contacts and calendar using HTC sync?
Internet tether is untested please report.
Feel free to report any bugs that affect your Android experience I'll do what I can to help.
Camera Greenish color? I get different results if I leave the white balance set to auto in various lighting and I think that is normal.
A full wipe is recommended...if you are coming from a different ROM.

What do you think? All the relevant info for compiling Android for the Hero is freely available on the web... just do some research.

I think he was asking in terms of, is this based on a stock CDMA Rom or Modded CDMA Rom.
I thought I'd add CDMA part on there before someone starts trying to tell me there isn't a stock 2.1 rom for the hero yet....

If you are talking about Villain,you should stop a minute to think...
They ask for donations only,all the ROM´s eventually are avayable for free,they work hard to have every single port out there avayable for us,they have OTA that needs a server...
I havent donated as i dont do web transactions(got burned once) but i think its nice of them to have goodies for people that made donations and helps them...They could work on the ROM´s just for them,and we wouldnt have half the ROM´s we have nowadays(most of them are based in Villains builds)
So if you feel left out because others are using a ROM already and you dont,donate...they deserve it

the question is not of general policy. if you look, are working longer than you, I do not need to search on google.
the question is addressed to you, and it refers to your Rom.
thanks in advance
Well like the rest of the devs. on this forum I'm just waiting for the official GSM Hero 2.1 ROM to base my custom ROM on.

I never refered to a particular ROM, so this entire comment is irrelevant and off-topic.

lockscreen calendar @ Pro

Does anyone have an idea how to mod the lockscreen in an rooted Android...
I´m looking for more than one calendar event shown at the lockscreen at the same time.
And no, i dont want to use an add therefor because that will sometimes not work properly and the screen is not locked when i press the power button in the pocket, so the phone is unlocked sometimes.
Normally it should be possible to mod the lockscreen in Android, shouldn´t it? does anyone have some experience or can give me some advices?
Better to bring this up in Q&A...
Anyways, it is possible to do it, but you would better off using NXT lockscreen to try this mod.

sorry for wrong posting.
so, I had already Roms with the next loockscreen, but there you still have only one line for calendar preview. the preview changes in a presetted timeframe, but that's still not exactly what I wish to have. for 2.3 there was an app called "loockscreen calender", that listed more than one event at one time at the lock screen, but that doesn't work with ICS or jb. and as I posted already, a custom fully lock screen app isn't that save to work properly.
does anyone know a solution?

If the app worked on GB maybe you can ask someone to port to ICS or JB?
