Some clarification about small apps....? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I surf through the apps and themes section i always bump into the expression "small apps".
What are those small apps and what do they do ?
What I understand till now that it's a feature ported from Xperia T ..
Can someone explain what are those small apps ?

When most apps in Android work on full screen, then Small Apps is a feature, that allows many apps to work in small windows, like on all Windows versions. You can have many apps open on one screen, instead of one full screen app.

Well, actually just 2 apps, because you can't have more than 1 small app open at once

So I can open ANY 2 apps ?
For example, tapatalk and opera mobile ?

Nope, there are only some apps you can open, such as a calculator or a currency converter. There are third party apps you can download from the play store such as a web browser or a camera. Just search "small apps" in the store.

I also have this app along with the permissions file and framework jar file so it can be used as a system app. Its pretty old now but yes I do actually prefer this to any of the latest panorama apps and it seems to stitch pretty well too.

it does stitch better..the 2012 panorama feature sometimes stitches the images in a weird way specially when you have a very unstable hand like mine
anyways, thanks for pointing the 'pretty old' part lol :laugh:

There's nothing wrong with the stock ROM. Xperia S simply didn't come with those features.

But it was there in the leaked roms. Some people with official update have also comfirmed abou the display mirroring.

Actually Sony never promised those features. And the leak you're talking about must be eXistenZ by Niaboc79, he as ported all the features in it. It's a modified leak atm.

Yep, works fine. Loaded it last night.
You might have to reboot after installing it, and you should find it in the "Xperia" section of your settings menu.

Custom rom + sony interface

Hello guys, I'm thinking about installing a ROM based on different kernel (cm etc.), to upgrade my super xperia S to newer android. But I hate nexus style. I love sony's one. Any ideas a about good composition? Rom which looks like sony interface, and with Sony apps? Appreciate it!

Try any rom with honami style and unlock your bootloader then install any kernel
you can install media apps for sony Z2 on CM11 but you cannot use all walkman features
You can try different ROM and use these themes to get the Sony UI look:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=thomassafca
You can also install ported apps of Sony, most of them work. I'm on Carbon ROM and I have the ported apps such as Wlakman, Album which work very good.

Camera library and sony framework are the most important things that can't been imported.
There are only Themes and apps that feels SONY!

Xperia Z2 apps by Jishnu

There is a link to Updated xperia z2 apps ported by Jishnu on nexus 5 thread.
Note flash it at your own risk. Camera and Keyboard is broken on Nexus 4. No camera app will work.. Better have an alternative keyboard apk ready before installing this.
The cool thing is playstore after flashing this will show downloadable apps by sony like xperia keyboard which can be installed.

Credit goes to Jishnu for porting z2 apps.
it will better if you share a link here :silly:

Why won't it have an camera is it because of the libraries in the zip file?
I can't test it now cause its around 2 Am in the night and my device only has like 300mb left so i dont have acces to my pc.
Yes the library are included but Nexus 5 works great with this with no problems. Nexus 4 have some problem if anybody can get a solution without removing library files it will be great.. And library files are needed for some apps to work. The added advantage is playstore shows Sony apps like Xperia keyboard, background focus and many more.
I flashed it on my stock nexus 4. But I can't find the walkman anywhere. Not even album

How to get only this one?
No one has found a camera app that will work, still? I remember the camera not working when we got a community-built android update on my old xperia x10 because the binaries weren't made public, but there was usually one or two apps that would work. It just took a little searching by trial and error.
Anyone have the Xperia mess
