[Q] Changing Lockscreen Wallpaper - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
After hours searching the internet for a decent answer, I have not found any solution to my question.
Is it possible to change the lockscreem wallpaper without installing any other Apps? (Such as WidgetLocker etc...). Of course, the wallpaper will have to be different from the one in "home" screen.
Some say that the solution lies inside framework-res.apk, others say SystemUI.apk...has anybody tried this, or has a solution?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I already had a look at that post, but the forum says that it works only on LG Esteem.
Anyway, I tried having a look into my "keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml", but the line which should[/b] appear, as it says on the post, does not exist, or even not in the way that it should.
And that is where I got stuck

Windows Mobile Live Search on Today

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to redirect the WM Live Search bar on the today screen to search using Google or any other site OTHER than the WM Live search.
Would the require a registry edit...?
Thought it would be more handy for me to use a different search engine on the today screen other than the WM Live one. Sorry if this has been posted up already but I searched and had no luck.
I'm using Faria's Custom V1 Rom with WM6 by the way.
Thank you in advance!

As in its not possible, too difficult, or I'm going to get attacked by a ridiculous number of forum members for not searching?

lol sure did, we must all be in a good mood today. I'm not one for flamming, as I've been a stupid noob before, and sadly searching isn't an ingrained behavior in this generation. I know my kids are going to be googling before they can even speak, but that's not the case atm.
Try my change which is also listed in that wiki entry. It will allow you to have spaces in the search term.
Any way to change it to YouTube?

Yahoo search for two or more words
I'm trying to use the windows live search with
Yahoo!
"searchURL" {http://it.search.yahoo.com/search?p=}
and Yahoo! One Search for PDA
"searchURL" {http://it.wap.yahoo.com/p/search?p=}
but there is a problem with the search of two or more words... for example if I search:
WORD1 WORD2
it seems like it searchs
WORD1%u0020WORD2
Any idea to solve it?

Can you please help? I keep getting a pop-up warning (with this and the original search string) that "There is no application associated with {search string}. Run the application first then open this file from within the application. (where Search string is as defined in reg plus text that is being searched for.
Can you help? I have tried opening this search string from within PIE and it works quite OK. But that does not solve the problem.
EDIT: I HAD SOME OTHER PROBLEMS AND DECIDED TO HARD-RESET. ISSUE SOLVED SO I GUESS I HAD SOMEHOW CORRUPTED THE REGISTRY. I SUSPECT THAT UNINSTALLING OPERA CAUSED THE PROBLEM.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm interested in this as well...
Any ideas how we can do this team?
doesn't look like anybody has any suggestions... but I think it should be possible to manage that. maybe we have to search longer for the required file.

[Q] No more scrolling background?!?!?

Hello!
I hope you can help. After upgrading the ota the day yesterday, whenever I change the background and picking a picture from the gallery, it only allows me to choose part of the picture, that is, the vertical form, which gets too zoomed in and looks horrible. Before, I would allow me to choose a different form, more landscapy...
Yes, the backgroudn scrools, but the image quality is HORRIBLE!
Is it happening to you? Do you know how to fix it?
Thank you so much!
I already answered this question in two threads (one of them yesterday), plus there are a few more about this, its the ROM, Samsung made it that way. Search and youll find out how to fix it.

I really did search and only found one post from september 2011 without answers... I will look again, but could you at least let me know which post?
Thanks
I didn't mean to be rude, sorry also.

Most of the dev ROMs have this fixed already.

[Q] Forum search missing?

I was going to look something up last night and I was not able to find the forum search tools. The only search is the device search at the very top. I thought it might be a temporary issue so I just waited and tried again today and still can't find it. Have I become blind or what?
It's still there (directly beside the device search).
As soon as I submitted the post the other menus along with the search menu appeared...???? Problem fixed but wonder what the heck the deal was?

Maybe the page wasn't loaded properly or something. It never went away for me.
I was looking for the forum search tools. I think both of the searches at the top are meant to find a specific device, although one will somewhat work as a general site search.

That was my first thought last night, I closed and restarted the browser and even the computer. Plus it was the same way today. Just a fluke I guess, I never realized how much we depend on that little button. LOL

It depends on the theme you are using. If you use the "2010" theme, it will be there. If you use the "2013 beta or 2013 beta - 1024" it will not.
Didn't know I had a choice of themes. Have to look into that.

Just scroll to the bottom of the page and choose one from the drop down.
