With the new* udate of Arc (4.0.A.2.368) we got the opportunity to select themes and this is great, but I started to wonder: Will any devs start developing themes that can be installed into the stock theme changer?
I know that its not possible to install new themes to this theme changer today, but I am kind of assuming that the great devs that are here on Xda will find a solution to that "problem" or shall we say this "challenge"..
I must say that I am HOPING that there is some devs that are working on this already, I know that if I knew more about phones/android I sure would.
So I am hoping to hear from some of you guys what your thoughts on "The future of Themes".
* Its not so new anymore but anyways..

Given how basic they actually are it's a bit pointless imo (wallpaper and button press), and from the bit of playing I've done you're never going to be able to use GreenGlow for example to be installed in the same manner.
Thas sad...I was kind of hoping that this theme opportunity would give us lots of good themes that could be sett in an easy way..
I was hoping for an recovery that was really easy to install for the arc and neo, like the xrecovery was on the x10 and x10 mini/mpro but I cant say that ive seen that yet..so that made me get my hopes up when SE launced "themes" but sadly these are not any good.
They look a little bitt better..but not mutch..hehe.
But is there any devs that are working on themes that are more basic so that they could be portet into the Theme chooser?
Hey guys,
just saw a time a go the wonderful widgets from the i9001 and wondering all the time, if it is possible to use these on our beloved i9000 sgs .
Wanted to open one of the system-partitions from the whole stock roms, but failed at it :/ Yeah, now I'm looking for the widget.apk's or maybe the whole system-partition somebody could dump? TW is the same, but widgets are on the SGS+ kinda better.
Sry, if it is not the right part of the forum.
Best Regards,
Alex.
i want list for sony ericsson xperia arc s , iv also noticed there isnt a seperate device forum for the arc s
And I want Pamela Anderson,but is not possible))I'm joking,you can check roms on the Xperia android development.
Arc and arc s are practicaly same phones so i think that roms are also compatible with both of them.Cheers
thanks
your humour acctaully highlighted my day as its rare on the xda forums , can you defiantly confirm that xperia arc and xperia arc s share compatibility and do you know anyone who knows how to help me build a custom rom as im very new and have no skills in coding

hey
humorus joke i take it
I dont think anyone here will have the time to walk you through building a custom rom. A lot of work goes into making them stable etc and they will have Roms they are working on themselves. I think it is a bit too much of an ask.
As said, read and then read some more - it isnt something to start doing on a whim
If anyone knows something pls lets talk about this.!
We are just hitting 4.2 now.. come on, you have a 2011 device, don't expect TOO MUCH... Also, if you see no threads with [4.3] at Android Developing, why bother asking?
Anything goes nowadays... next thing you know people start asking about Key Lime Pie for 2011 Xperia phones. They talk like it's so easy to port ROMs and apps and other things when they they haven't tried it themselves...

Hello,
I looked at the Z2 features a while ago and hoped we'd get some of them too. But unfortunately, the KitKat update didn't include tap2wake
Is this feature possible to get on the Z1 Compact? Please help I have the bootloader unlocked, btw.

I really hope somenone makes double tap to wake possible for z1c . It's really useful.

Tap2wake is kernel related, maybe future Z2 owners would port it or it could be included in a next official build
yeah i'm waiting for that too... that's a good feature to have. i'm surprised only LG has implemented it across it's phone lineup
Ι would say that tap2wake is a must for devices like ours that have ONLY ONE button. Apart from the fact that it is easier to wake your device this way , it also prevents the inevitable wear of the Power button.
hope someone starts a petition to sony hehehe
they gave Z2 that functionality so i'm thinkiing its a matter of time for us

Yeah, upgraded to 4.4.2 and no "tap to wake"... so disappointed :crying:
Until now Doomlord,Androguide Fr and Faux made custom kernels for Xperia Z1 with this feature implemented.Doomlord has no plans to support Xperia Z1 Compact,as he don`t own this device, Faux and Androguide Fr said nothing about supporting this phone.So...we have to wait until someone ports the kernels from Z1 or creates one for this one.I`m also a big fan of DT2W function.I can`t wait for this.

Munjeni is also building kernels but his response when asked about implementing it was...

Sorry mate but our thread is related to the multiboot and not to the kernel things, you can open a new thread for your problem, sorry!

...so perhaps if a few more People made them aware this is a desired feature then they may change their mind.

Many android phone users don't even know about the existence of this feature.Last week I have asked some developers if they can try to make a kernel with this feature for Xperia Z1 Compact but the answer was, in less words "NO". Too bad because it`s a very good phone and the similarity with Xperia Z1 is very very big.So the porting,for someone who knowshow to do it,shouldn`t be so difficult.
Unfortunately developing for our phone does not exist comparing to other phones. I very unhappy about it but at least I hope Sony gives us double tap to wake feature.
