Missing apps and widgets? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just recently flashed my phone with the kernel vengeance 1.32 and when I go to the menu, some apps are missing like xperia gallery smart start, etc. also, when I want to add widgets, the photo album one is gone and a few others.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

I just flashed my LT18i with the same kernel and i had no problems. Did you use the one exactly for your device? since there are a lot with the code names one might get confused. If that isn't the case you might simply have to flash a custom ROM. I did it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207 and works great

[Q] Rcmix sense 3.5 kernel and radio?

Since I can't post in the developer section yet i'm asking here, hope it's ok. Been looking at the ROM for a few mins and it looks great, but i've been using MIUI for so long my flashing skills are kind of rusty.
First of all, the kernel is included in the ROM and is the one the developer recommends or have developed right?
And secondly, wich radio is recommended for the ROM? Could'nt find any answer to that in the first post dedicated to the ROM. Should i flash radio before or after i flash the ROM?
Again hope you don't mind me posting this stupid question here and thank you in advance for your answers.
Oh and btw does HTC Watch work with these ROMs? Living in Sweden if it matters.

Radio is your personal choice... just pick the one which works best for you. Flash the rom and yes the kernel is included in the rom.

follow my signature for trouble free flash and welcome to rcmix3d 1.5... best rom out there and if the htc watch service is available in your country then yes it will work.
Transferring the ROM, Supercharger, full wipe 1.5 ext4, and the overclock thing right now, hopefully I'll have it done with the titanium backed up apps installed as well. Your signature actually helped alot.

you are welcome just remember while using titanium backup DO NOT restore system apps and ONLY restore user apps without data.. even better if you have not started already just make a folder in the root of your sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and copy all your user apps from data\app folder to sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and let the rom install your apps automatically.
Restoring data was the reason i bought titanium backup
I'll just restore the apps i had then with market links. The ROM is really fast btw, the eyecandy isn't too bad either.

don't use any sort of the anti virus or security apps. you could post in the support thread and see if any one is using wavesecure app who could help you. the support thread is here....

Actually it seems that the script killersloth linked is the problem as the phone froze again before i even entered my SIM Pin, I'll just flash the restore thing before it freezes the next time.
And Wavesecure is actually really good, I can lock and locate and wipe the phone with simple text messages, though I never use any kind of AV apps.

I would just go with a standard Rom flash set it up as my liking then do a nand backup only then I will start playing with oc\uv and fine tuning the rom to my liking... it has saved me a lot of problems faced by many users. just my way of doing things. after every success mod I do a nand backup incase my next mod messes up something I have a backup to come back to saves a lot of time and hassle. IMHO I can't say any thing about killersloth's script coz I have not used it.
NAND backups takes ages xD
However the phone is working as it should now, all thats left is a nice theme, anyone?
I won't be playing around with voltages and speeds on the CPU, default is just fine.

Nope getting it aswell, I'll try the one you are using.
I can't log in to Facebook using friend stream when I want to put on my lockscreen, just says wrong username or password although I know it's not.
Can I use any of the ROMs listed in the OUT kitchen or do I have to upload my own files as the ones for this specific ROM aren't available.

your best bet is to upload the files from your phone or the downloaded rom, in the uot kitchen.. the fc problem in the glass theme is a known issue you overcome it by disabling the sound effects in the weather app
OK, thanks for the fc fix.
Only thing bothering me with the theme is the transparency in the status bar, replacing it and the battery, + a new font. Then I'm happy until I find something fancier

It probably wont work, to use aosp dialer, you need aosp telephanyservice.apk, and i think it dependent on framework, and we have SEMC framework not aosp.

Alright. let me know the result when you've done. I'm a bit afraid to try because I don't wanna get Force Close.
As AndroHero said - you cant just install the apk, you will have to use a custom ginger bread rom or a go phone/contacts program since its vital function. installing doesnt do a thing, then install the stock one and you get force close

i tired it doesnt work, no difference, you will have to flash it with a non sony rom or use a program like go contacts to replace it,since is apart of the framework.

[HELP REQUEST] Launcher & Music Player Widget

Hi, thanks for reading...
I have two problems that I think are related to the stock launcher:
One of the desks of the launcher shows a black shadow instead of a green shadow whenever I try to put a widget or icon in that place. I can't put anything there and it's a full row.
The Music Player Widget cannot be added because the launcher says "Widget already added" over and over.
I already have tried clering the data from the launcher; even tried factory reset but didn't work.
Note: I'm using a brand new Xperia Play with 2.3.3 and .145 stock ROM, not rooted. Everything is like new, but I have these issues.
Any help would be aprecciated. Thanks in advance...
Thats an odd problem never heard of it before... Why don't you try this... Get the Xperia s launcher from themes and apps section and install that...it will ask u to replace system app just say ok...it might work give it a try
Edit: here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515644

[Q] ROM Toolbox Pro Issues

Hello Everyone,
I recently downloaded the "ROM Toolbox Pro" app onto my HTC One V. At first I wasnt sure of all the things you can modify your phone with, but after looking and playing around for a few hours I got the idea. I noticed that you can change your [3G] icon to different colors and so forth for other icons on your phone. When I reboot the phone after applying a new boot logo, and Icon it didnt work at all. My first thought was that maybe you cannot modify anything with the Stock ROM? If anyone can tell me any information about this, that would be wonderful!
Also if I need to switch my ROM to something else, can someone please send me a link to a good ROM for the HTC One V that doesnt have any issues, and the full setup on how to do it? That would be wonderful!
Thanks alot,
WizzyCreator

Boot Animation - Install
I've had problems with getting new fonts on my Samsung Player 5 (ROM: Chip1.5).
Worse, the Boot Animation and Randomizer won't let me change the boot animation any longer. It was working (especially when I had the standalone Boot Animation app). Not sure what happened?
Thanks.

Try installing Sphongle ROM or Omega ROM. They are quite perfect for everyday use. I've been using sphongle from last 8-9 months. Rom toolbox works perfectly in it.

Same case with me I have deodexed my rom and still cannot change the notification background.
Do you know where the original notification bar background file is located?

I was able to change the font~
So it does work~

-I also have samsung galaxy wonder, flashing the kernel help that phone camera getting better, and the picture from my attachment was taken by that wonder-
In your Opinion -- is this camera problem caused by ROM, Kernel or Hardware Fault?
-See My Attachment, I did so many restart, but the camera still not work, is it hardware fault? maybe type of the battery is fixed battery ? -

It could also be a corrupted jpg file in your pictures folder. Try copying them all off onto your computer and clearing out the folder on your phone.

Don't hurry.take time.or you may do irreparable damage to your phone.when you're satisfied and confident,then only root.
I am currently using my sense rc2.0(full sense) Rom by the great dev ckpv5,I find it a very neat Rom.
but again,its upto you which Rom and kernel suits you best,whether you want a daily driver,or for fun or pure smoothness and responsiveness,speed and agility.
I cannot recommend you a Rom as I'm unfamiliar with your needs and usage.my use is moderate,some time on xda,calls,messages,little gaming,etc.I find my sense Rom very suitable for this type of use...
