Hey guys, another noob friendly guide coming right up. Today, i will show you how to run Windows 95 on the xperia M. This is not actually my work. 90% of credit for this tutorial goes to xda member fotak-x. The img image belongs to him. Im just going to add a few things to his guide and make it noob friendly for the xperia M. Here it goes.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Root explorer (or any other root enabled browser)
2. BOCHS and SDL, which can be gotten from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389700
The SDL.zip and BOCHS2_5_1.zip are both attached to that thread.
3. Windows 95 img: http://www.mediafire.com/?03i9l8qswy2825y
OR THE WINDOWS 98 IMG: http://www.allmobileworld.it/Blog/File/Software/w98.rar
4. A brain
5. Some time
THE GUIDE:
1. extract the SDL.zip onto the root of your internal memory. So in /sdcard/
2. Extract the w95.zip OR w98.zip
3. Move the w95.img OR w98.img you just extracted into the SDL folder.
4. Rename it to c.img instead of w95.img or w98.img
5. Install the BOCHS apk normally
6. Open the BOCHS app and let it load.
7. When done you will see a black screen and then the windows 95 OR windows 98 will boot up.
8. ENJOY
Wow that was like the shortest guide ever.anyway have fun guys.
CONTROLS:
1. Move the mouse around by swiping your finger across the screen.
2. Left click: volume up button
3. Right click: volume down button
4.backspace: back soft key

At the time had an IB * with a Pentium 100 MHz with 8 MB of ram and hard drive 1.5 Gb!

Most of you might be knowing that Android is
an Operating System based on Linux.
Well this Operating System has the parameters to achieve
many things. Such way this can also help us
actually emulate Windows 95 on our phone.
The results are not great, but result is positive.
The Windows lag sometimes.
Even the Fonts aren't visible clearly.
Tutorial -
1) First Download this file - LINK-http://www.mediafire.com/?099fqbi93ifbl9x
2) You will notice that there are 2 files inside.
A folder named 'SDL' and an APK named - 'SDL.TECHTON.DEVELOPER.apk'
3) You must put the folder named 'SDL' directly inside the SD card (not in any folder or something)
4) Now Install the APK and then your done !
5)open the apk file after install
5)This is the look of windows which starts approx. after about 2 or 3 minutes
do not forget to press thanks button if i helpfull for you

Hi, all!
It's my first mod and first thread on XDA, so forgive my mistakes.
I really don't like the Xperia S capacitive buttons. After ask a question about the matter on XDA, I decided to try to do it myself. And after a few hours eating some bits, I could finish my work:
Native ICS on-screen buttons on Xperia S!!!
(See screenshots attached)
Short story:
I started reading this post, that led me to this other post that led me to try to use a tool called apktool. Sadly, apktool seems a little buggy and I decided to modify the framework-res.apk without decompile and recompile it. How? Binary diff. I can't say it was easy, but after a few hours I could modify the apk. In the Long story, on the second post, I'll tell how.
Things you need:
1. Root your device (see this post to learn how to unlock and root)
2. adb installed (or a working recovery)
Things I don't need to say (but I will):
YOU are responsible for any damage this mod could cause in your phone. I did exactly what I described below and it worked for me, but only God can make sure it will work for you. I don't think it's a big deal since you can flash you ROM again in case of any problem.
How to backup:
If you really want to backup your original framework-res.apk, run it before installing:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk.bkp
And save the file framework-res.apk.bkp.
It's not very important because you can get this file from the ROM package or from here (link from optik19918).
How to install:
Install this mod is as simple as replace the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk by the modified framework-res.apk. Here follow some options to accomplish that:
Option 1 (via adb):
1. Choose a folder on your computer
2. Download framework-res.apk.
For firmware 6.1.A.0.452:
mediafire
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.1.58:
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.2.45:
my home (slow link)
3. Run the following steps (I did on Ubuntu Linux, but they are easily translatable to Windows):
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
[email protected]:/ # mkdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb push framework-res.apk /system/tmp/framework-res.apk
4765 KB/s (15874684 bytes in 3.253s)
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ $ mv /system/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 15874684 2012-06-28 03:58 framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # rmdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,ro /system
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb reboot
4. Wait your phone to restart
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 2 (via recovery):
1. Download the on-screen-buttons.zip
2. Reboot on recovery
3. Apply this zip
4. Restart the phone
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below (and also Soheil_rf for the zip version)
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 3 (via file manager):
1. Download the same file of option 1, step 2 (above)
2. Use your favorite file manager to copy the downloaded file to /system/framework/framework-res.apk
3. Restart the phone
4. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
5. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
How to uninstall:
Just repeat Option 1 or 3 above, but using the framework-res.apk.bkp you backed up or this one (link from optik19918).
----------------------
Some points:
1. The file is really smaller than the original, and it must be caused by the linux archive app when I copied the patched 'resources.arsc' to the original apk. It worked for me up to now, but I will try to figure out why it happened.
2. I will explain how I patched the 'resources.arsc' and changed the boolean value in the first reply of the thread. It was a pain in the ass, but worth sharing (edit: explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823223).
Long story
Reserved to tell the long story about the patch, If I have time.
EDIT:
And finally had some time! But it was to big for a single answer, I created a new thread:

Also could you make the black border slightly slimmer...

i found some bug in camera app, the camera screen button it not in the side of the screen, please fix.
also make the black bar smaller 25%, and the placement of back icon should be more left so it on a line with the dot and transparent bar so does the task manager too, should be more right.
and also please make an option to disable the original touch button
thanks for your effort

No prob - and just to be sure, the long press occurs BEFORE the file is open and you can see the text. Fwiw I have the pay version of root explorer, so maybe the free one doesn't have a text editor...? I'm really not sure.

Have you extracted the zip already? I use es file Explorer. With it go to your download folder and long press the zip and select extract. Then navigate to the install file and click on it. It should open right up. Once in the file just tap to bring up the keyboard. Once done save, move that folder to your root of sd abs enjoy the goodness.

I postet this App originally in the Android main general section, beacause I am searching for testers on other devices,
but I developed it using our phone so you can give it a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42077109
Hi guys, I always wanted to change my Boot Splash Screen (that thing that shows before the Boot Animation)
So i tryed to write a simple app.This will work on every device, how ever I need testers to confirm.
This Application needs Root Access and CWM or TWRP in order to work.
So I didn't manage to get a working conversion from png to rle on the Android platform it self, however I wrote a windows Converter.
Get it :
Please not that this is a pre alpha, so don't be mad if you think it sucks.
There is much more to come but I need to test this feature now to resume developing it.
- alpha 1
Added a server to easily download the Converter to your PC
- Pre-alpha1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z530xpgaw5cmrfq/pre-alpha-1.apk
- Converter for Windows : https://www.dropbox.com/s/x0sfxwx7deuqquh/PNG-2-RLE.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions :
1. Resize the png file to your screen dimensions
2. place it in the same folder as the executabel Conveter
3. Copy the .rle on your phone
4. Run the App and choose the .rle

Help :
There is still a lot of work to do.Any help is appreciated.Please pm me.

-port the Windows script to linux
-test it and report it back here
