[Q] How do I restore NFC functions? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello,
I had NFC on my Sony Xperia Acro S and I'm not sure when but after a few ROMs later I cannot turn on NFC. The option to turn it on in setting is there but when I click it on, it just get highlighted and goes un-highlighted. What can I do to check or find out what I'm missing to fix this? Thank you for your help.

That's because most rom developers considered NFC.apk to be bloatware. You will have to take it from somewhere, then copy NFC.apk to /system/app and set permissions like this -

Thanks for the reply. I found NFC.apk and NFC handover.apk in system/app folder. Is there something I should do to those two files to get this working again? Thank you.

[Q] MIUI camera app in cm7

Could someone please explain how to replace the standard cm7 camera app with the camera app from miui?
I'd be very grateful cheers.
David
you need to use root explorer or something similar. Copy the file over to where your camera.apk is and change the permission of the miui.apk to the same as the camera.apk.
Or if you have god mode on your rom, make it read write before you do this
with root explorer, put .apk in the /system/app and change his permission fot the same you have in camera.apk (just look what permissions it have and set miui as the same way).

Does he also has to rename the camera.apk to camera.apk.bak or he can just have both appls?
Also when I add the miui camera, I rebooted the phone in order to see the icon in app drawer

i tried nearly everything and it isnt working too,
maybe i will flash my phone with the newest update and do a hardreset, the problem should be done after that ;-)
but thx thx thx for your help
PS: Does someone know when there will be the first Custom Roms for this Phone because than it would be worth it to wait?
I'm having the same problem as well; accidentally deleted--frankly I don't recall doing it--my stock browser, which is my preferred browser.
Can anyone point me to where I can download it from? Or upload the .apk here? I downloaded the improved deodexed browser from another thread but am not able to install it despite changing the permissions and using root explorer. If I save the browser from Galaxy S, will it be the same?
TIA.

I've tried to place these two API I'm the system/app folder (and renaming the old one) but the browser can't be opened after reboot. Any suggestions what to do?
Thanks in advance!
You on a deodexed Rom ?

I've got this issue too - I put this two files in the /system/app folder, changed permissions - but it keeps crashing.
Help ?
Can anyone re-up the browser.apk and the other file? Links are offline.

[MOD][XPERIA 2012][ICS]InfiniteView mod

Found this mod in the SXS forum.
Modded InfiniteView.apk that allows for full screen contact image in contacts and full (top half) image in dialer.
In contacts infinite view the square image tends to get stretched, but in dialer it shows up correctly.
It's actually pretty nice. This modded app from the S is smaller than our stock version so I'm not sure of the differences in base functions but it seems like everything is there.
The mod is packaged as an install bat for the S. I extracted the apk and installed manually.
Always backup before overwriting. Use at your own risk.

Root needed?
Yes, since it's replacing a system app.
Cool, I was disappointed coming from the Vivid which had full image icon. Thanks for the find. It's amazing how much I learned about android system with all the mods cuz not a lot of devs for our device.

Back up your old InfiniteView.
Copy the modded InfiniteView to /system.
Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
Copy/move the modded InfiniteView to /system/apps (this will overwrite your original)
Reboot.

Using your explorer, randomly pick any app and see its permission. Make the permission of the modded InfiniteView app similar to that app.

thanks, I didn't see it, sorry
any reason this would not work with the OC'd 3.7 firmware? I remember this working on 2.68 a couple of months ago, then i reflashed the rom, tried the mod a couple of days ago and there is no change. Checked and rechecked permissions, did everything in these comments..
Thanks for the app
Gonna use it tonight!

4.2 keyboard on K3 build issue

I'm building myself a K3-based ROM and have pulled a working 4.2 LatinIMEGoogle.apk from another known working K3-based ROM but for whatever reason, on first boot, I get keyboard FCs. I have removed the Samsung keyboard as well. Am I missing something other than just the single apk?

Yes, you are going to need the lib file that is associated with the keyboard for it to work properly. If you run a search for a cwm flashable 4.2 keyboard it should contain a /system/lib folder and a /system/app folder. Copy the contents of both into your new ROM in the same corresponding folders.

Bingo. That's exactly what I needed. I knew it was a missing lib but wasn't 100%. Thank you.
For future reference, the lib file needed is libjni_latinimegoogle.so.

[Q] Original Files

Hi, so i forgot to take a backup before installing some rom..
can someone just provide me with the stock jb keyboard apk and the lockscreen apk?
and instruct me on how to install them..
would simply pushing them to /system/app work?
what did you flash?

Here is the link to the required apk files from .96- http://db.tt/6BiUQl9O
After pushing the apks to /system/app, you also need to set permissions like this -

As Ben has said it above, simply pushing the apk may not work. If you are on a stock/stock based rom then the apks will work but if you are on a AOSP rom then there are very slim chances if the apks working.
