Are there any third-party applications that can apply some kind "music controls" on the lock screen, similar to the "look" that Cyanogen created with his modifications?
I would greatly appreciate any insights on this topic!
Thank you.
Winamp has it, and its decent.. Also, Eliot Stocker made this music.apk mod that you can adb push http://development.piratemedia.tv/2010-06-28-music-mod-1-7-froyo-only/

I use the app widget locker on my phone. Replaces the lock screen to a customizable screen of your choice. Very good app and even allows trackpad wake (some have problems with it but with root I haven't had any). Add any widgets and shortcuts you like. Highly recommend

Thank you for this suggestion.
I appreciate the feedback!
However, I'm wondering where you found this application, "Widget Locker"...?
I'm anxious to give it a shot!

Okay... question!
Can this be pushed from the terminal off of my SD card?
I don't currently have the latest version of the Android SDK unpacked on my netbook.
I know that some system apps can be pushed from the terminal, directly on the phone, that's why I'm asking.
Thanks.

No r/w access to /system so no, you can't. It's on the market as music mod, but doesn't have all the features the cm version has.
Widget locker is cool and all, but I hate how using it doesn't put the phone to sleep when using it, therefore draining battery.

It's in the market as one word "widgetlocker"
Thanx for the winamp tip..Ive had it for over a week and didn't know it had that feature..It's really simple to use and this is already the best media player in my opinion..Unlocking the phone to change track every time is annoying...This is a great feature and app.
poweramp FTW its in the market now
I'm back to PowerAMP. BT remote working great on the new market release version. Loving the lockscreen widget. Makes trackpad wake when its on, too...bonus!

I have a weird problem with my phone after rebooting, all of my icons are smaller and misaligned, it seems like everything was pushed up and to the left, as it shows in the screenshot provided.
[I highlighted in red where there are noticeable gaps that were not previously there, notice the icons in the dock bar seem to go beyond the set border.]
edit: i noticed i can't post photos, so please forgive me for altering my link, as it is not malicious.

There is a gap of space down the right hand side of the screen and left to right on the bottom part of the screen right under the main button dock and the desktop.
Has anyone had this problem or know what could cause this? I have Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox, and a few other programs, I will list them if requested, but I list those two primarily because I figure they can help fix this maybe?

I had a similar issue on my Optimus S, all my home screens were slightly shifted left, so on one screen i could see part of both walls. It was trippy, and a pain in the butt. I fixed it on my phone by simply rebooting the phone. I am sure you have tried that already though. If you have everything backed up, maybe a reset would be the fastes solution, if you dont mind reinstalling everything.

I don't mind rebooting at all, I am just concerned about my unlock that I paid for and the root that I had done. Would doing a full restore reset either of those things? Sorry if it sounds like a silly question. I am still trying to learn all of this stuff.
Have you tried clearing the launcher's data? Or if it's a 3rd party launcher, uninstall and reinstall it? (but temporarily install a backup launcher if you do that, cuz you need at least 1 launcher for your phone to function properly)

Ya, I have tried that already, no go.
I've also tried removing the battery, restarting Ericsson home through application settings, and restoring frozen apps. none of which worked.
You could always just use a different launcher

I currently am, but certain flawed elements are crossing over from the native launcher.
Like when something asks me to choose default application, the list cuts off and the background of the selection window becomes transparent/abruptly cut off.
Could it have anything to do with lcd density setting

A full flash with Flashtool will remove root, but your bootloader will keep open for good. You need a special package in order to relock the bootloader.

Thanks for answering that, is it fairly easy to reinstall root once I restore? Alejandrissimo rooted my phone for me. Also, what is clockworkmod?
Lcd density is pretty much the screen resolution. When I messed about with mine I got the same sort of problem that you describe. Can be adjusted using ROM Toolbox in buildprop tweaks. Just had a look at mine and its set to 240. Might be worth having a look

ya, was kinda depressing thinking that i had to do a full restore, i am using a stock rom even though i am unlocked and rooted. wondering if it is worth using cyanogenmod7? or should i wait for 9?

I have JJ Hybrid 3.1 installed with Sirkays kernel. Is there a way to reinstall some of the Sony apps like Weather Widget, Widget Select Widget, Alarm, Possibly even the home launcher? I tried copying the weather widget apk into system/apps with rw-r-r and rebooted but it still is not available in the ICS widgets menu.

Can anyone recommend a stock ROM without McAfee and Wisepilot (the two apps I am unable to uninstall). Tweaked to be smoother, faster and more stable would be nice also.
Really I would like only Home launcher, Panorama, Weather widget, Alarm, Widget select widget, Turn things on and off widget (or a better status bar with toggles like some ROMs). Everything else can pretty much go to the bin

Install Titanium Backup and remove them.
To use the Sony widgets, you need to have the Sony home launcher. Else, it won't work.
You can easily remove McAfee and WisePilot once you root your phone. Either browse to the app location as root and delete it (or) use Titanium Backup as XperienceD suggested.

I did (tried normal way and with Titanium) and it said they were uninstalled. Reboot the phone though and *POOF* they come back.
try root uninstaller and reboot they are gone for sure,
but why advice everyone titanium back up ?
in my eyes is it a sh*t app

Ah, then uninstall them again, and look for two apks named McAfee and WisePilot, remove them before rebooting and the will be gone.

Then you need to look for another two AFTER uninstalling. I've seen this before and I can guarantee they can be removed, you just need to find the two apks that auto install.
There must be a copy of those two apks somewhere else and that's causing this problem.

Copy .apk files from stock-based roms such as Arconium or MooDeD ICS. They are placed in "app" folder.
Dear Reader,
I’m basically a noob when it comes to rooting and custom rom-ing and bootloader-ing… and stuff. Unfortunately, I am forced to go down this road because my xperia lt26i, after having set it up the way I like, allows me less than 100mb ram to play around with! This means my phone is usually quite laggy and unresponsive.
Ideally, I’d like suggestions on how to unlock the bootloader. However, I have approached every avenue in that direction and have reached dead ends. This phone, it appears, is not able to have its bootloader unlocked. I contacted both my network provider (who helpfully offered to unlock and root my phone) as well as Sony, who said they couldn’t help. I don’t know whether some OTA update will allow it to happen at a later date. But who knows…
Going back to my RAM related problems, I’m looking for custom ROMs which are a) light on RAM, b) free of third party bloatware and c)offers as close to a ‘nexus’ experience as possible. Currently I’m using Nova Launcher to achieve that. Actually, a custom ROM with Nova Launcher would be perfect.
Also, any other tweaks that can help speed up the phone or save/increase(ha!) RAM would be helpful.
Basically, I’ll take what I can get :angel:

Good luck, I am currently running CM10 with Nova launcher and it works well, I also left stock roms because of lags and memory and I am very happy now.

Please give my ROM a try. I have named it as "Xperia Nexus" because the ROM aims at providing the user with the ultimate Nexus experience.:thumbup:

Your v4 sounds really interesting. May I know what the .587 means/entails?
Also, in terms of backing up, I need to get cwm (which will no doubt test me lol) and do a nandroid backup before flashing the ROM. From the limited reading that I've done, it means that it will create an image of the phone as it is now. Then, I will need to backup the sd card seperately.
Can I get confirmation that the nandroid backup will err back up my settings, widgets and wallpaper settings too? (I use minimalist text and paperland you see.)
Also, after I flash your ROM, will I be able to use Nova prime with my existing settings?

Nandroid will restore your mobile exactly how it was when you did it, including wallpapers and other settings.
Nova has an option for backing up setting and layout too, use it.

.587? You are checking the wrong rom. .587 is only for Xperia 2011 MDPI. This is the link for Xperia S Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172872
I was just attempting to flash your ROM in and have got almost halfway there. Ie I've just sorted out getting. 55 on my phone. I checked back at your ROM again today and there seems to be some problem, can you advise me as soon as you identify and resolve the issue as I can't risk my phone going out of commission!

Just done it, went smoothly, though unfortunately only freed up about 50mb ram. Ah well, at least it looks more nexus-y . Just a couple of questions, I want to use a mhl adaptor to connect the phone to my TV, is there a way to do that? And how do I edit the lock screen?

I have been searching for a solution to this forever, but cannot find one. I want to completely and utterly remove the Touchwiz lockscreen and replace it with the stock one. I know it is doable as I found instructions for how to do it, but they were unfortunately rather over my head. Is there an easy way to do this?
Please note, I am not talking about simply disabling it and replacing it with some third-party unit from the play store. I'm talking mucking around in the /system folder and deleting it entirely.
Thanks.
Could you link the information ???

To answer your question, no, it's not this easy. Lockscreen simply does not fall into a certain file or folder. It is tied into framework-res, SystemUI, and Settings.apk. Removing as much as you can will likely break Android OS as this is a system level thing and is tightly integrated. Your only option is disabling. If you can't disable it thru settings, where you set it to none but it's still slide to unlock, you can use Tasker and an on-boot profile to disable keyguard action. That will cause your device to show launcher when you click power button.
Hope this helps,
