Hi all Im new to Android and before I got the desire i was umming over the xperia x10, is it possible/likely someone will come up with a version of the UI on that to stick on the Desire?
FreedHome has an Xperia-like skin; if you install it, you can download it. Check here or here. Dunno if it's what you're looking for, though.
I was thinking more with a ROM with Timescape cooked in http://androinica.com/2010/03/29/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-review-timescape/
I just didnt know if it was possible or not, I have no idea about cooking ROMS but I know there are a lot of talented chefs out there who could do it
Anyone interested in a ROM with timescape at all or am I the only one?

Looks like you're the only one
No one wants to downgrade to 1.6 just for a UI =/
timescape is not good... before I had the Desire... I had bought a X10... after 2 weeks I had send the X10 back to the store and change it with the Desire.
the function of the x10 is very basic at this moment. there is only a overview of messages. the timescape is not a full home screen. you can't add apps on timescape. if you want add apps on the screen, you must go out timescape and use the standard android home (3 screens) ...
sorry for my bad english...

Sorry, but isn't that a bit like asking a Farrari owner's club for tips on how to install a Skoda dashboard on your new Farrari?
I too longed to buy an X10 until it came out. When I finally held one in my hand and played around with it, I got the distinct feeling it would be a let down like my Satio. I nonetheless mulled over getting an X10 for a while just because of the camera.
Unless we can upgrade our camera hardware to an X10 camera, putting anything else from Sony Ericsson on the Desire would be like intentionally crippling the phone.
Yo. Does anyone know its it possible to install SE keyboard to Aosp rom? It its my favorite keyboard for android, and i would live to use it on my Miui rom. I have ripped the keyboard from a stock rom, but it didn't work.
I tried Slide It keyboard, but it is not nearly as good.

I want it too!!
Even i want to use the SE Stock key board in MIUI v4 and other roms.
to be honest i haven't been able to find any single keyboard that i like and ive tried a few. I've just learnt to deal with it. The stock keyboard on the galaxy ace i like quite a lot so am sure it not me being picky. Touchscreens suck.
Used 4.2 stock for a few days, it was absolutely terrible, so I re-flashed back to stock 4.1.2, and my phone works beautifully again.
However I now cannot live without the 4.2 gesture swiping keyboard that came with the new update.
I have searched high and low for this keyboard but all that comes up is an "early version" of the 4.2 keyboard from late oct, and it turns out its quite different from the actual 4.2 keyboard that google put out..
The 4.2 keyboard that is easily available is not nearly as accurate and has this large cartoon looking bubble text that hovers over your swiping. I have this installed now, but its just not as accurate. The official one is substantially better in this regard.
Does anyone know where to find the "actual" 4.2 keyboard that came as part of the official update?
I am running 4.1.2 yakju stock, unlocked and unrooted.

Thanks a ton, this was it. My keyboard accuracy is back, no more non sense!
Any idea if its also possible to flash in 4.2's google now updates?
Hello, as we all undoubtedly know, the W has a very small RAM, so we really must be frugal with it.
No doubt many of you are also familiar with Swype, but perhaps are reluctant to install it due to its size. And perhaps you are also unsatisfied with SwiftKey's much-hyped "flow through space" feature.
If so, then perhaps you would be interested with a less well-known keyboard called "Multiling Keyboard". It's kind of similar to Swype, but it's much lighter. And it has some features that neither Swype nor SwiftKey have.
Get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh

This and all discussion?
And after all the keyboard - really remarkable! :good:
(I use version 0.42.3)
I have a couple of quick questions about the xperia UI.
Recently, my ZL died in an accident. Due to my location, I had few replacement choices available, so I opted for a Galaxy S4. It wasn't my first choice, but it's not a bad phone.
There are a few things I miss.
First, what is that thing circled in red on the first picture called? It's a launcher of small apps that appears on the bottom panel when you open Recent Apps. Samsung doesn't have it, so I'm assuming it's an Xperia thing. I want to search for an app or a mod that can perform a similar function, but I don't know what it's called, or if there's an app that does it.
Secondly, I was really getting to like the Xperia's "Album" software. I've found gallery apps that organize in a similar way, but don't include a home screen widget that allows the user to flip through photos. Can this "Album" app be installed on the S4, if so,how, and if not, can anyone recommend a good replacement?
I don't think thats possible on a sammy phone... not unless you port the stock xperia rom to the S4... But you should head over to the s4 forum and maybe ask someone to port it for you.... only the small apps if possible! Also Samsung has their multiwindow and all... maybe use that!
You could also root your phone and use floating window from xposed!

Well, my sister have a s4, and somehow i didn't like it...
And samsung doesn't have a small apps, and also , you can tweak your Xperia ZL using Xposed Modules (Need root but not custom rom)...
Like mine, you can customize the status bar icon, battery icon, nav bar, screen off animation, and many more!
Feel free to ask, bbm or pm me if you have a question

You can tweek any phone with Xposed, but why are you telling him that? didn't you read his post? He states that his ZL died and the S4 is a replacement, he's asking if it's possible to make his S4 to be closer to the ZL.
Now to the topic at hand, from what I heard it's a popular practice to port Sony apps to all Xperia phones as well as other phones. So if you go to the S4 forums you should be able to find the small apps as well as the album app, along with instructions on how to install them correctly. Good luck man, and don't be sad, the S4 is a bit better than the ZL anyway.

I found a bundle of Xperia apps and flashed them, and I discovered the apps couldn't start without Xperia Home enabled and running. Needless to say, it didn't run well competing with Samsung's Touchwiz. Touchwiz can't be stopped or shut down. Most of the Xperia stuff didn't last a reboot. I couldn't get Walkman to run at all.
S4 may be a slightly better platform. It's got a better camera, for one. However, the better user experience goes to Xperia. Walkman's a better music app in every way that's important. Small apps are useful, especially screenshot for me. Album widget is irreplaceable. Now I've got 2 competing music apps, Adapt sound which breaks everything, 2 competing alarm clocks, and of course the one I don't want is the one I can't stop...
It was easy to root,though, to its credit.
Might just get a Z2 and give this one to my wife. Are those easy to root? Z2's, I mean?

Oh, that's a shame and kinda weird. I mean porting should imply that they have been modified to actually run on the device.
The Z2 is easy to root with towelroot or the Z2 root deamon we also used to root our ZL. Then again, everything is easy to root with towelroot.
The best music app is PowerAmp, Walkman kinda sucks when compared to that.
Here are the S4 forums, pick which model you have and see if they have properly ported Xperia apps.
