Hey people I'm looking for someone with Sony Emma level brown so I can get a firmware from Sony for my Xperia play r800x to engineering build. Reason being is I am hoping to get the firmware and then get the engineering test keys out of the firmware so that I can sign firmware with the keys which will circumvent the need to unlock the bootloader as I am yet to find something that will work.
So if anyone has or knows of someone with Sony Emma profile with level brown (developer) please let me know. Maybe I can get the key from my firmware also I'll give that a try as well.

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
Do you guys think the ICS update will make the interface of our Arc look like the one of Xperia S?
Because I was watching some demos and it looks incredible , especially the music player is way better than the stock one on Arc. I noticed that a certain user called FlamEmo managed to port the Xperia S theme to Arc, and it seems to be working alright, other than some bugs, so I assume there would be no problem such as "Arc is not powerful enough" or stuff like that, so SE really has no excuse not to give that interface (or an improved version of it, since XS has 2.3.7 right now) to every 2011 Xperia phone with ICS.
And my second question, can you tell me exactly what happens if you unlock the bootloader? And by that I mean, which features are lost, which limitations are introduced as soon as you unlock it?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day
Unlocking bootloader you will lose warranty, erase some sectors, hability to set custom kernels...
And yes, ICS will be equal to Xperia S, but when SE release and official rom, or XDA guys exchange a new ROm
About the bootloader unlock, I meant if it would cause me to lose some functionality on stock apps and stuff like that. I've heard the music widget, TrackID and some other stuff stops working if you unlock. Where can I find a complete list of things that stop working or change when you unlock the bootloader? I want to know because I'd like to try CM but obviously I can't without unlocking.
Also, if they really improve upon the S theme and bring it to every Xperia with ICS, that would be seriously awesome. Have they officially commented about that?

There are 2 things not working after unlocking:
TrackID (but keep in mind that there is already a market edition)
MusicLike in FB

I haven't heard such stuff.
But I think SE/Sony will do their best (and that's always great, imo).

Thanks man. I don't care about Facebook (I may be one of the very few on the planet that don't use it) or TrackID (actually, I liked it for identifying tracks over the radio, but I can live without that. I haven't tried the market version yet). What about bricking with updates? ICS is coming and I wouldn't like it if I could not update instantly, but I assume someone will make a flashtool flashable version quite soon. Can I update normally using SEUS even if I'm unlocked?
That would be all, and thanks.

Don't use any OTAs and it won't happen.
But either way there's a sticky thread in developement section.

After you relocked your BL, yess.
I don't know if the Xperia S has this feature disabled on the stock firmware too, but it's present in the Xperia SL. Have no clue why they would remove it? Encryption is a very useful feature, kind of a necessity if you lose your device or have it stolen. Does anyone have any insight on why Sony did this?
Sony has like 10 people on Engineering side, They are not so good on the Geek side a way.
they ruined the camera soft,
read my thread about Sony soft video issue, its fun and bit angry lol

Great first post - this is the wrong forum to ask - use the Themes and Apps forum or the Q and A forum.
Don't hold your breath though... ZL is a limited release phone with a proportionally tiny Dev community.
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

Țap 2 wake
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...
munjeni said:
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.
