Has anyone tried to install the smart dialer from Xperia S? I had it on my X10 and loved it.
What's the smart dialer? I Have an Xperia S but am not sure what you're referring to.

This would be great. I'm still very salty this doesn't work stock. So used to being able to just open phone and start dialing and have it auto populate a contact as u type.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
Ah okay now I get what you mean. Once we get root we would probably be able to copy the dialer from the XS but as it is now we can't change the system apps without root.
I really enjoyed the xperia s dialer on my x10, kinda dumb that sony didn't include this with the ion. It's funny how the dialer also made the contact's list irrelevant since I could just type out the name on the dialer instead rather then going through the contact list
I was able to download the 2 apks (smartsearch and the dialer) and just overwrite the current phone app. no problems so far....
Uhm how did u overwrite system apps? And please share lol.

I just saved the apks to my sd card and clicked install (through androzip) and it asked if I wanted to replace the already existing phone app. I clicked yes and now I'm using the smart dialer

More to the point, why do people root, when they have no reason to..... If you want to know things you can do after root, there is no real need to root.

Now that your rooted you can get rid of bloatware by using an app called root explorer, navigate to the folders stored on your phone and delete everything you see. Bloatware will be gone

Personally, I think Titanium Backup is better for removing bloat because it removes data associated with the bloat too
Also, to backup and restore your rom you need an unlocked bootloader. Root won't help you with that
I think you might have missed the sarcasm, if im not mistaken

Maybe it's time for a sticky thread about the best apps with root access? I think that would be a great idea. I wanted to root for a couple reasons (WiFi tethering, Six Axis controller, and removing bloatware) but there were still some things that I didn't know about that I do now because of a previous thread I made like this one.

Bloatware is any app installed on your phone by a service provider that you don't want, but without root cannot get rid of. (i.e. On verizon, they include vzw navigator, a pay-to-use navigation system; backup assistant, a "service" that works the exact same way as any android automatically syncs your contacts with your gmail account; and visual voicemail, a pay-to-use voicemail system that is equivalent to google voice)

Dude go take your fustrations out on your wife or kids, if you think im showing off because i know how to read then that really doesnt say much about you.
Like the majority of people here, if i do not know something i will go look it up, not ask others to do it for me. Your either super lazy or just plain stupid.
If paxchristos already answered then its over right. Why would you add up on things on which is already answered. Isnt it showing off. Why would i be frustrated? It is you who should be frustrated because nobody cares about how you show off here. I bet youre also doing it on others. Theres a problem with your attitude man. And stupidity is not even enough to describe. Maybe its just reasonable enough to take that frustration out on yourself. This is a place of information, from basic to advance.

bad samsung...
going to block S voice on other devices by connecting to a server wich will block s voice without any coe of galaxy-s3 in it...
maybe there comes a workaround, but it looks like it doesn't work any more..
The S-Voice APK, which contained services that were exclusive to the Galaxy S III, allowed owners of other Ice Cream Sandwich-powered smartphones to install Samsung’s new voice assistant (its Siri rival) and perform commands on their devices.
It appears that in the last 24 hours, Samsung (and it’s partner Vlingo, the technology behind the voice functions) have begun detecting requests from non-supported devices and blocking them, displaying the message: ”Network Error. Please Try Again.”
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By sending a string of data that identifies the device generating the requests, Vlingo can proactively block any device that shouldn’t have access to S-Voice. However, this does mean that it could be possible to spoof the device ID of an unsupported device, fooling Vlingo into processing requests again.

And it would be very nice if it would work when phone is off/locked, that if you say 'hi galaxy', it would open s voice. I think we need a really good developer for that, but I know they are around here

Been looking amd trying every version and it all does not work woth jellybean. Is there a keyboard similar to this also?
I once was a user of HTC IME, a long time user actually. I switched to SwiftKey, and use the light theme, which looks similar to HTC IME stock. I haven't looked back since due to SwiftKey having far superior prediction / auto correct. Just my two cents, if this doesn't help, good luck on the hunt.

Ok so finally got it set up on zl. Followed steps from link below and works. You need to be rooted.
1. You need to remove chrome.Apk and browserproviderproxy.Apk from system/app using root explorer.
2. Copy the browser.apk to the using root explorer to the system/app and set permission to rw-r-r.
3. Last reboot phone and browser should now be installed.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187973
I've done this using instructions in the Z forum using root explorer. What's interesting is that the ftf from the US posted in the development forum comes with both Browser and Chrome built in. Wished it came with all the ftfs as I prefer Browser.

In this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcItXcUgiEs&feature=youtu.be
of a Canadian user of a 6506 model of the Xperia ZL, you see 'browser' at 00:50:
So I've asked which browser it was:
Which browser is 'browser' that you've showed?
From Google Play? Otherwise a link to an .apk? Thanks for the video!
He answered:
Its the stock browser that comes on the phone - The AOSP Browser - Sony includes it on the Phone.
I've asked:
Wait, whut... :s
On the XDA-forum there is said that it isn't...
Do you have a branded version of the 6506? Provider-software?
Thanks!
Answer:
Phone is completely stock
It's Bell Mobility Version in Canada - Model C6506 - Bought without contract.
To be honest, Chrome works better on this phone than my Note II or any other phone I've owned in the past -
so I usually use it. I made this video the day I got the phone so I hadn't configured or used it more than 4-5 hours.
I'm sure any AOSP apk would work though - XDA should have it.
I WANT IT! No sh#t with rooting, just an .apk Somebody that can provide it? :fingers-crossed::victory:
