[Q] Enable CRT off animation??

OK, so I read that on GIngerbread, the Arc S has the cool Android CRT off screen, however I can't seem to show it on my new Arc S.
It's running Android 2.3.4, specifically 4.0.1.A.0.266
Do I need something newer to get it? (checking for updates offers me nothing).
What do the 4.0.2.xxx releases do for me? And what one for a UK SIM-Free handset?
Thanks.
SO far VERY pleased with the phone, it's awesome... (Although not too keen on Timescape UK, Launcher Go EX fixed that thou!)

The CRT animation is no longer available since 2.3.4.
sbong had previously modded the 2.3.2 firmware to include the animation but mentioned here that he is unable to do the same for the 2.3.4 firmwares as the animation files seems to have been changed. You might want to ask him again.

If your using go launcher ex just select tv in the effects settings menu for whichever screen you want to use that effect on..

[Q] Can I Get Xperia S Ics Music Player Files If Its Released?! To Install In Arc S

Hi, i would please need Xperia S Ics Music player files (not the doomlord walkman one) if its released or whenever the update is released.
And if one can make and provide me such files required to install it on Arc s i would highly appreciate the help!!
I would require these Xperia S Ics files :
1) SemcMusic.apk
2) FBMusicLike.apk
3) SoundEnhancement.apk
4) SemcMetadataCleanup.apk
5) lib.zip file same as created in this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23173117#post23173117), but its for xperia s gingerbread so need one created same way of xperia s ics now
6) permission framework again as created in same thread posted above, just need one created same way of xperia s ics now
7) Soundfx_Xperia_S.zip created of xperia s ics
i will apply all this, the way i successfully applied when i was on gingerbread on my arc s n applied xperia s gingerbread music player files, will do this way according to my previous thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649158)... Everything worked that way from equalizer to clear bass, sound enhancement, more option, colour change 3d music swiping style and i just kept the arc s music player widget as i like it much so i will keep that the same of arc s ..
If Provided all these correct files, then will not need to unlock bootloader!.... Just would need root and cwm in Arc S running Ics
So again would appreciate the same and i am counting on genius devs to provide me the same please!

[Q] Customization on Arc/ Arc S

Hi! Brothers and Sisters......
Good day to you from Myanmar.:fingers-crossed:
I'd like to know how to customize my arc S?
Don't want to use any custom ROM or something custom. I already tried and using the following:
1. Xperia S Live with Walkman port
2. Notification Toggle port
3. Default Themes change
4. Infinite View change
5. Onscreen button (already tried, but not work)
6. Xperia S Launcher (already tried but not using now)
So.... how can I customize or port something another great to my stock rom .587, Unlockedbootloader? Any great things left to add to my devices?
And also with stock firmware .587, my wifi signal is frequently lost especially when i enter to new address or new download even I stay beside the router. How can I fix this as Sony still don't fix that problem?
Thanks in advance for reading and your advices.
Sorry for my poor English language which makes you to fell something uncomfortable.
Have a nice day to all of Members and Guest. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

You'll need to learn to theme and/or develop.
Sent from my CM9'd Arc

First you have to root your Arc.

This is not my work,but I found those mods somewhere here ,on xda.Just copy them with a root explorer, in write mode, in app folder and set proper permissions .Reboot phone.Cheers !

These fashion do not work on 4.3 are likely to be on 4.1.2 .. I would like someone to do for the Xperia M pack system applications from 4.3 with the black edition like on the Xperia Ltd. or Z, Zl, T, etc, do not know where I could be with the go.

[Mod] [7.1+] [Flashabe ZIP] Restore Removed/Replaced Stock Sony Apps

Well, I recently got an Xperia X and something that annoyed me was that a lot of the exclusive apps and features from Sony which previous Xperia phones had built-in simply got replaced or removed for no reason after the X series, so, with some effort, I managed to get some of them back by extracting the relevant files from previous Xperia devices which still have the apps, and decided to share a flashable ZIP for anyone else which also miss those apps and features...
Overview
This flashable ZIP will:
• Bring back Multi Camera and AR Mask camera add-ons
• Bring back the Screen Recording app (accessible from the power menu)
• Bring back Clear Phase and xLOUD sound enhancements (accessible from audio settings)
• Bring back the Podcast app (accessible from the side menu of Sony Music/Walkman app)
• Replace SwiftKey with Xperia Keyboard (including its online sync and Gmail/SMS learning features)
• Replace Google Calendar with Xperia Calendar (including its "Tasks" feature which used to be a separate app but now are built into the main app)
Requirements
• Some way of flashing ZIP files (TWRP recovery preferably, but app solutions like Flashfire should work too)
• Your phone must be running a stock ROM based on Nougat 7.1 or newer (security patch or whether your ROM is odexed or deodexed doesn't matter)
• This ZIP file was tested only on Xperia X, but theoretically it should work fine on X Compact, X Performance and XZ too as long as they're running a stock ROM based on Nougat 7.1
Instructions
You just need to download and flash the ZIP file available below. After rebooting your phone, you can check the results by yourself.

is there any posibility to install the apps without root????

AFAIK, no, except for Xperia Keyboard and Xperia Calendar as they're published on Play Store, but installing them as user apps wouldn't provide full functionality. The other applications normally ships only on stock firmware of the Z series and come odexed, so those apps won't install normally after deodexing, which is a hard requirement to make them work on another phone...

I have not much to say and even just bringing back the screen recording could have made me happy. Yet, you brought all of the excluded features. Thank you.

Not all of the excluded features, but most of them. I really miss Intelligent Rotation (all phones from Z series except Z5 and its variations have it) and even through we have native split screen, I also miss the Small Apps (especially Active Clipper and the floating calculator). I even tinkered with them for a while, it's definitely possible to bring them back by porting from Z5 or Z3+, for example (which are both on Nougat and still have them) but they would require messing with the framework files and thus, would remain locked to a specific ROM version, so at least for now I gave up, especially since Xperia X receive updated firmwares fairly often...

Does your zip file work on stock 8.0 OS? Do you know why there is no headphone selection feature for all X series. Why did Sony removed them? I found an sony headphone selection apk file and Installed it on my Xperia X stock 8.0 OS but it's not showing up in audio settings.

Does it works in Android P custom ROM?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/rom-xperia-x-dualf5122f5121-t3843430

As those are the stock apps, without any modification, pulled straight from the last Nougat firmware for Z5 series, I highly doubt they'll work on anything but stock (or stock based) ROMs. You might find some actual ports of those apps in Sony Cross-Device Themes and Apps subforum, though...
