[Q] How to make the livekey work? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I recently bought new sony livesound headphones for my xperia pro mk16i and the headphones have got a "livekey" which should be capable of starting apps and other stuff. However it doesn't work at all. No options when I click and/or hold the livekey. Otherwise the volume keys and the middle key for pausing and playing music do work.
In case it's important: I am using the Ultimate HD 2.0.3 ROM by jader and the arcknight kernel for xperia pro.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Probably ROM or kernel have no such support for the key.

Thanks, but...

Thanks, but how do I figure out which one is the problem? I already asked this question in the Q&A thread for the ROM I use, but nobody answered.
I would really appreciate any help in finding the cause of the livekey issue!

It's the Rom's problem. The app needed for livekey to work is removed as bloatware.

if you mean the smart connect app then I already got it from the market and it still doesn't work :-[

nothing works :'(
Hey guys,
Now I've already tried reinstalling the smart connect app as well as flashing a new kernel (I'm on Lupus V9 now). Also no one in the ultimate HD q&a thread could help me :'(
Does anyone know what do I have to do to make the livekey work? Please guys! I'd be totally grateful for any help and of course I could spend you a coffee or an ice cream

gonna have to change the rom ...

If you're on an AOSP rom, it will probably never work. You'll need a stock rom. It's like the galaxy s3's ability to call whoever is on your screen by holding your phone to your face. It's a feature of the stock rom.

stock based enough?

would it be enough if I have a stock based rom? because Ultimate HD Rom by Jader is stock based and the livekey doesnt work with it
thx.

Auto call recording function on Desire Z - which ROM ?

Hello, sorry of this topic, but you can help me a lot. Be sure, usualy I'm reading forums, using search function, but this time I need your help. I bought this phone (Desire Z, first Android phone for me) few days before, and it is hard to find the newest ROM for this phone with auto call recording capability (may be integrated function or other program). Audio must be from both sides and taken from hardware, not from microphone (this worked perfectly on my broken Touch HD with Auto Call Recorder program). So, can anyone suggest me which ROM to choose ? Must I look for Jealy Beans ROM's, or for some Virtuous ROM's(maybe it's the only choose with auto call recording capability) ? Thanks a lot for your help !
I was using CallRecorder from skvalex on Andromadus Mimicry. Unfortunately does not support JB.
I just noticed CallRecorder by skvalex is not working JB, as you pointed out. It was the best one!
Is there any other one that does work on JB ?!
Don't know. Didn't look for one yet.
You read the forums alot but you don't know that this is supposed to be asked in the Q and A section?

Ok, now I see, that update Android phone ROM is not that simple like WM was (in WM you just need to find suitable ROM for your device and update using ROM update utility). Sorry for this, but can you tell me (post a link) which ROM with auto call recording function I must try to instal ? Please understand- I have two little childs now, and have no time to spend to try many ROM's, just need suggestion how to make my Desire Z auto record calls in simplyest way. Thanks !
Callrecorder from Skvalex did work perfectly on the ICS roms. Altough people say it doesn't work on JB, I haven't tested it yet.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
But now I see, that these new adapted ROM's are not perfect (camcorder, browser, speed issues, etc). I prefer fully working ROM. Must I look for a old MIUI rom ? But which one ? Can someone post a link to ROM, that realy works with auto call recorder ? Thanks again.

So, I finaly have fully working phone (with few ICS issues). I decided to instal very popular Mimistry 1.5.0 ROM (before formatted all with 4ext). This ROM is fantastic ! And finaly I bought CallRecorder by skvalex- now call recording works just fine ! Thanks for all for your replays !

[Urgent Q] How speak up Ringtones?

Hi everybody...
Please, don't tell me that this question was asked many times... i searched and searched in google. but i couldn't find any good solution to this problem...
I have Stock Jelly bean Rom..
I only want to improve volume of ringtones (i'm not so much interested in app volume) how can i do this?!?
Is it possibile to do without Root/unlocking-bootloader/busybox/kernel? if not, what i have to do? I already have Unlocked bootloader, root and busybox but stock kernel... (i'm thinking to shift to franco or derkernel)
Try Volume+, it works well for me.

I think we're all interested in having a port. The real question is; is it possible? While the answer to that is yes, it would take a HUGE amount of work to do.

Already tried to port it to both my pro and note 2. Its too much of a hassle to go through. Porting the rom is the easiest part, it gets tough when a manufacturer that does loads of modifications is involved I.e Sony, Samsung, HTC. Getting it to boot would require some changes to the ramdisk files and kernel replaced. Unfortunately it doesn't get anything to work

Biggest problem is making the Sony apps work on AOSP roms. Walkman is working for example, but I want the Sony messaging app too and many more. How to do this? mod framework, change the app itself???
maybe

Thats easy. Firstly change the sig / lib requirements (implement). then add the 'conv_' pngs from sony framework-res to aosp framework-res. Lastly logcat and modify smali files in framework.jar and permissions for the app and its services
Thanks a lot, will try it as soon as I have time. (I'm surprised no one has tried it before...)

I did try that on cm9 with the xperia phone book. Its just too much of a hassle to get everything to work and you have to redo everything on the latest cm release

You can make that yourself. The OP hasn't done much, just changed pngs and layouts (as far as I can tell by the provided screen shots)

Pretty nice port. I like xperia launcher but it seems to lag a little bit. It might be my base rom of xylon. I am not sure.

Running it on top of Aokp toroplus 4.2.2 mr1 build-4

galaxy nexus 4.2.2 stock rom not work!!
Thanks for sharing =)
Btw, I think ThilinaC have a modded HS which removes the theme option in Xperia Launcher, so it doesn't lead to FCs. I think it will be great to implement it while the theme engine doesnt get ported. Also, the visualizer not working could be because of a missing library. I can't recall the name of the file now, but I used to have it working on every port of Xperia apps I've messed with.
Keep up the great work, guys, this is genious =D

you are using stock rom, which doesnt support theme manager, thats why you dont have the sony theme and icons.
also, sony select is in the buggy list.

(request) Port or do similar Rom pls :/

Hi all I couldnt find any roms thats pure xperia s xperiance with out extra stuffs or addons added by yourself .. Like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796428 so my question.. Can some of u devs port the whole xperia s rom ? Pure stock xperia S without settings shortcut in systemui etc etc etc.. Pure stock S rom like the above mentioned link I would like to port it myself or even theme the stock neo/arc Rom but I'm not good in theming and porting stuffs :/
And everyone would use that Rom for sure I would be really happy cause my mum use this Rom on her old x10i and she's really happy and I must say I'm hit jealous haha .. But would be great
