[APP] Test Live Wallpaper

Hello everyone. I have a live wallpaper app which works fine on all devices except Sony Xperia S, and quite possibly on other devices with Adreno 220 GPU. So far app was tested on HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, Motorola Milestone, Motorola Defy+, ASUS Transformer, Samsung Note, Samsung Galaxy S but I have a report about visual glitches on Xperia S.
You can get app from Google Play by searching "3D Lotus Live Wallpaper Free". As you can notice it has visual glitch - image is striped.
I've made some fixes to this updated app but because I don't own Xperia S phone I cant test it before updating app on Google Play. So I'm asking for your help - please contact me to get updated app, run it on your phone and post screenshot for me to know whether the bug is fixed or not.
I'm trying to make sure all my apps are running on all Android devices without any bugs and visual glitches, so please help me in this.
Because of forum rules I can't post link to test version of app - please contact me via private message and I will respond.

well done.

Thank you everyone for testing my app on your devices. :good:

Xperia S lag and smoothness issues

Hello all.
I have my Xperia S for one month now and I am becoming more and more frustrated with the frequent lags and slowness of the system in general.
On the same day I bought it, I discovered that I was with a locked bootloader and from then on, despite my attempts to improve the system by rooting and trying several Roms I am about to give up hope.
I am now with KA25 ROM but already tried XZXperience 2 and Turbo ROM. From all of these I must say that sooner or later the system becomes laggy and starts to have strangely large access times to some actions or apps.
I notice this in the contacts app a lot, in the messaging app, on the in-call and after call screens, slow loading times while performing normal tasks, like in the album scrolling and accessing images, hiccups and annoying sounds within the Walkman app. Don't know where to even start or stop.
Sometimes I feel that it must be something related to ICS but I would like to have your opinion on these issues.
Also, I am having thoughts about going back to basics and just factory reset the whole phone. Would this clean all of the "debris" the rooting and appliance of several Roms could have done to the phone?
How would I do this? Just flashing with flashtool a clean stock image?
Any advice or any second thoughts, or even the sharing of similar experiences would be great and I would be grateful.
Looking to hear from you soon.

This problem is well known... ICS on this device is very laggy and bad.
Wait for JB.

And that's why I always say, Read and Search more, cause the issue is a lot old and there's a plenty tweaks available for that in the forum.

Thanks for the feedback. When you mention tweaks what do you precisely mean? Because I have tried some tools like Pimp my ROM which state to have entropy generators and other speed tweaks but up until now it is pretty much of the same...
However I must agree that waiting for Jelly Bean is the most straightforward solution however I am surprised that a good device like Xperia S has this difficulty dealing with ICS or any usual tasks.
I came from an HTC Sensation XE and with ICS ROMS these issues were not so frequent.
However and I must address this in the topic I have been restoring the apps from ROM manager when changing ROM. Would this have any influence in the short term to the system stability and general speed?
Many thanks.

The latest Jellybean leak , shatters all the problems you mentioned (which i had too ) , and works flawlessly , multitasking have never been this smooth before, just wait for the official version from sony (you have a locked bootloader device , right? )

Here's what i did,hope i can help you with smoothness.First of all clean flash your stock ftf to remove all tweaks.After that flash the seeder zip file in cwm(search for it in forum).No other tweaks should be there except the touch screen pressure in system-user-idc set it to .001.Now install Mr.Nice guy app in playstore or from blackmart.Download the latest xperia launcher v 2.05b (set its transparency of app drawer to 70%,app drawer size 6*5).Now in mr.nice guy app set this xperia launcher priority to high. Thats it now you will have a very smooth rom.Not to mention you can always install the sony widgets for this launcher

Yup entropy works but the zip i mentioned to you doesn't clashes with the rgnd files in snapdragon devices.Also it generates entropy as per device requirement & not high or all the time

Thanks for the clarification. Nice to understand these things.
Regarding your advices I am only having trouble with Mr. Nice Guy app as it is a paid one and reviews are not very convincing.
However I am having up until now a very smoother experience, nevertheless I am considering changing the launcher as this one is not allowing any changes with the icons and also my favourite widget (Walkman) still does not appear.
Any advices?
Thanks.

So do you recommend buying the Mr. Nice Guy app? Also where can I download the Walkman widget to work on this xperia launcher? I have been searching in the store, or here in the forum and can't find anything.
Please help.

Is there a way to change the default camera app? When I click on camera in gallery, it asks which camera app to use. But from lockscreen and by pressing the camera button it always runs the old app (CM10). Rather a CM issue, but maybe you know how to set it. Thanks

Yes. Delete the cm gallery apk from /system/apps then install this one normally. Should work fine after a reboot
Running unofficial cm10.1 on my Xperia SL , don't see why the same wouldn't work for you.

I think the only reason you can not select a resolution of 12 megs is because this apk is designed for 8 or 13 ... Could this be edited?

Latest Sony xperia Keyboard updated (8.11.2013)

Rom doesn't function well, need good xperia z looking replacement

I've been using the 'Xperia Express Z ICS Rom' made by imputazz lately and i have noticed a lot of bugs and glitches.
1. The keyboard doesn't show up sometimes and i need to force stop the app to get it to work again.
2. while using the browser or playing games if i try to turn the volume down, it takes about 3 - 6 seconds for it to take effect.
3. touchscreen doesn't work half the time while i play games.
Are these problems rom-based?
If not, how can i fix these?
If yes, can you recommend me any other good roms that has the same stock launcher as the xperia z and DO NOT HAVE any of these problems.
