[GUIDE] Get Bravia and Music Info working again on ICS with ReLock bootloader - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

The credit goes to nhoc_huhu for posting this fix and jemju_xps-user for giving more detailed instructions and confirming it works. Please leave thanks for them, I'm just posting detailed, easier to follow instructions.
Things you will gain:
- working Bravia on ICS
- working Download Music Info for Walkman
- root will stick if you had it before
Things you will loose:
- ability to flash custom ROM's requiring unlocked boot loader. Duh.
- CWM recovery. You can get it back using this guide
Steps:
1. Download Walkman_port_few_fixes.zip
2. Clear data for Download Music Info and all Walkman apps, under settings>apps>all
3. With Root Explorer or any root manager; copy CredentialManagerService.apk from the attached zip and paste it to system>app and set permissions. Delete .odex file for CredentialManagerService if you're on a odexed stock ROM.
4. Copy file system>lib>libdrmtestengine.so from the zip and paste it to system>lib and set permissions.
5. Copy file system>lib>DRM\libdrmtestengine.so from the zip and paste it to system>lib>DRM and set permissions.
6. Shutdown and flash stock kernel with Flashtool.
- either use the kernel from the FTF file of the Firmware you are currently using, be sure to not wipe Data(you will loose apps) and System(you will loose root). Uncheck wipe data and check Exclude System.
- OR flash this with fastboot; fastboot flash boot 55.sin. The attached kernel is for .55 firmware. Here is the JB .200 kernel.
7. Relock your bootloader using these instructions.
8. Reboot and it should be working!! It does for me(stock .55) and jemju(XTX v7) :good: :good:
Optional: When I relocked bootloader, my WiFi was broken. Download this and paste it to /system/lib/modules with correct permissions. Reboot and WiFi will be back.

Because it works. Check the pictures mate. The difference is clearly visible. Look at the skin color, the first is BE off, the second BE on.
Sorry if you guys are non-smokers, this pic was the best I had to show BE working.

what if - before i relock my b.l. i will flash first the thread b.e.2 to take advantage over b.e.1 then doing this thread, what do you think guys?will b.e.2 work?

You can try. Though my personal opinion is that BE2 over BE1 is just placebo..it's hard to tell difference between BE1 on and off, let alone between BE2 and BE1.

I can confirm Bravia Engine Working with this method :good:
I use Bravia Engine 2
Open attachment screen shots in new tabs and compare them

At long last! It truly works! Using BE2 here. Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

anyone can confirm again that b.e. is not working on xtx..because i read this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010673&page=8

I'm on XTX7 and I can confirm it works, both BE1 and BE2

I think it will work, Because, I flash stock .55 , UB to root then I relock and copy DRM ,next i flash BE2....And i can see the diffirence beetween BE1 BE2..., Here image:No Be, BE1, BE2

I think the rom base on stock will work.....i tried the other rom (skudo v3) base on Stock and it still work..

Yeah, a slight delay was always there, from what I remember. But that's OK, the delay makes it easier to see which parts of the image are enhanced.

May be it work when we change build.prop. But what to do. Yesterday I brick my phone and flash 6.1.E3.7 firmware and still I cant find a way to ROOT it
yes, it is working on Xperia Ion!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=267
EDIT: you need to update your build.prop to get it to work.
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.name=d2vzw

I am trying to edit and upload the file. But my phone is NOT rooted and I am on 6.1.E.3.7 firmware. Now I am downloading old firmware. After that I will root my phone and upload the file within 30 minutes (I think).
I have more customizations, such Bravia Engine 2 and so on, so using my build.prop will not be a good choice. Wait for someone else to post.

Make a backup with recovery first, then try it
I tried, it worked. And after a rollback, the home still works.

It worked after you had changed the build.prop?
Yep, as posted in the first page, change the info in the build.prop, reboot phone and open the app.
After it installs and show the FB Home, revert the changes on build.prop
Easy as that.

yes, from the screenshot attached, that's the only i freeze (actually i'm freezing for testing purposes, if no issue, i will delete/uninstall)
another screenshot those i uninstalled/deleted. please do mind i'm not sure about Xperia SL, but i think most of Xperia Apps is safe to remove.
please do freeze it first, and most of it, try to back it up too. i'm not responsible any breakdown of your device

Use file manager such as es file explorer, root explorer and much more. And copy the modded secsettings,apk and move it to /system/app and set permission or rw-r-r and reboot. You're done.

MIUIV5-For-Z1/L39h/C6903/C6903/C6906/C6943

【Xperia Z1/L39h/C6903/C6903/C6906/C6943】
Patchrom MIUI from open source based on the official 14.3.A.0.761. Because there are many bugs if we use 4.4.4, we can just use 4.4.2. It contains kernel in the ROM. Therefore, you do not need to flash the kernel again.
========================================================================
Features:
Code:
1: use the official camera, all the Plug-ins in the official camera can be used in this ROM such as background defocuse
2: persist the official X-Reality
3:persist xloud and clearphase sound effect(haven't added it yet)
4:persist the white balance in settings
5:persist Location-based wifi
6:Haven't find the bugs that affect the usage
=========================================================================
Some tips:
Code:
1: MIUI have power management. Therefore, we cut the STAMINA mode in the MIUI
2:Why we don't use 4.4.4
MIUI's code just update to 4.4.2. If we use 4.4.4, there will be many bugs.
3:Can not use ART in this ROM because Sony cut it officially. Plz don't ask me why. Just ask SONY
=========================================================================
STEPS:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"] UNLOCK YOUR PHONE! [/COLOR]
Copy the ROM to External SDCard.
Reboot into Recovery.
Make Sure to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before Installing the ROM.
Start the Installation. (Install Zip >> Choose Zip for External SDCard).
Switch Off Your Phone (Do Not Reboot).
[COLOR="Red"]DO NOT WIPE AFTER FLASHING!!!![/COLOR]
Select No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation.
Reboot and Enjoy.
DO not use other kernels because this will cause the crash of your phone!!
==========================================================================
PLZ do not post this rom to other forums without telling me. The original thread of this rom is here http://www.miui.com/thread-1855448-1-1.html

I haven't used miui for almost a year so i forgot about that. thank you!
Oh and I tried updating to the newest weekly but I got an error 7 (at least i think it was 7) in cwm.
EDIT: Nevermind, did a clean install and it's fixed. I think it was gapps causing the errors
Just tried. It's awesome. Wanted so long for miui. I didn't find any bugs. Is there a chance to get a German language pack?

I haven't used miui for almost a year so i forgot about that. thank you!
Oh and I tried updating to the newest weekly but I got an error 7 (at least i think it was 7) in cwm.
EDIT: Nevermind, did a clean install and it's fixed. I think it was gapps causing the errors

[MOD]Multiuser support and lower minimum brightness

Hello,
Today I present to you multiuser support for our Z1 on .108 firmware!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
Root
Recovery
Superuser mod (not sure if that's needed, but better be safe than sorry)
Additionally I made the minimum screen brightness even lower than stock as it was a bit too bright for me at night.
Just flash the zip in recovery and reboot. If you want to test it on some other firmware or device then make sure to make a backup!
Enjoy!

Restored the navbar
I'd like to thank my friend Dominik Lisiecki that basically made it happen as he did all of the compiling and recompiling for me as I have no access to the PC now.
Dzięki stary, jak wspominałem - stawiam ci browara.
After flashing i lose my nav key... Any solution?

Works perfectly for me. Just Google it to see how this works.
I already manage to make this work after following some instructions on xperia Z thread... This m0d works after imstallimg modaco.

Hi olokos,
I think there a very simple way to enable the Multiusers functionality in this device, and i already used it and worked perfectly.
(My device is sony xperia z1, android 4.4.4, stock rom, rooted and deodexed):
Step 1: Install GravityBox Module (last version).
Step 2: Enable Lock Screen Rotation : go to the GravityBox settings menu then under Status bar tweaks --> QuickSettings Management then enable the "lock screen rotation".
Step 3: add this line to your "build.prop" (or use any build.prop editor from the play store):
Code:
fw.max_users=4
Note: add the above line under the "ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES" group codes in the build.prop, and don't forget to check the same permissions for the "build.prop" as before.
Step 4: REBOOT.
After that you will see a new entry in your system setting called "users" which you can add and/or edit your user profiles.
And when you rotate your lock screen you will see all your profiles to be changed directly from the lock screen.
Enjoy
@baha76_s thank you. I'll enable lockscreen rotation later, without gravitybox as I prefer not to use xposed as I think that it does make issues.
It's good to know you can also do this via build.prop
@olokos did you follow a tutorial, cause im on .157 and i would very much like to install lower brightness?

not really, it's just decompiling framework-res.apk using advanced apktool and modify one of the values in values/integers.xml or one of those.
If you can wait then wait till I switch to .157 and remind me here like idk, weekly here starting from 2 weeks from this post. I'm really busy now and I don't have much time for myself, school is killing me. :/
The brightness is awesome! Love it!
Can u plz make this version also for 157
Bcz i got bootloop on my software

Woo-hoo like brightness too much! Just a question what is the real purpose of multiuser? I mean what can it be used for etc.

It's like asking what's the real purpose of having multiple user accounts on windows, lol.

Lol. I though you'd end up in a bootloop, thanks for the report. xD

Most likely.
Are you have a deodexd rom?
Bootloops on odexed .157. I'll make 2 versions if I'll get back to this stuff. One for odexed and second for deodexed.
