@Bonovox Unless you're encountering issues I don't think it's worth updating from .42 or .62 to .69 as the number of changes is tiny and probably a lot of them will probably be region specific. I'd wait for the 6.x FWs due in the next few months as these will be the android 4 updates with actual feature changes and will actually be worthwhile.

Posted by Bonovox
I am on 62 but just read on Face Book Xperia Blog the 69 firmware is only Germany

Xperia S Home, Widgets and Live Wallpapers

I'm on Stock 2.3.4 .62 Update No Root

You can get it Here

Install them just like any regular *.apk using a File Manager

Install first Home.apk and WidgetPicker.apk if you want to use Widgets

You can't select Photo and Video's Size, Only Large
Music Player has no Equalizer and Like Button and no more changing colors in the Widget and Player, but the player looks Pretty Cool

Weather widget is now animated

Tools will expand and will show more settings

If it is not compatible with your Xperia(maybe those with 320x480 screen) you can uninstall the Update in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

If Application cannot be installed, You need to install it through root explorer and push it into the system

How do you install them?? I downloaded it but it says no compatible files on Arc S. Where do you download it to on phone and do you transfer the whole lot to the phone or just files one by one??

I have updated my Post Bonovox, but I'm not sure about some problems you will encounter on your Arc S

Bono, I think you may have to install each file on your phone. Use root explorer (the free version will do) to locate the files and click on each one to install it.

Oh and the Like button in the music player works on the Xperia Play.

Posted by Bonovox
What or where is root explorer from??

What? Why on Arc does not have like button

Posted by goldenface
If you tap on the album cover when a song is playing there is a like button there - isn't there?

It's not there, Only Favorite, Play on Device, and Play Queue

Posted by goldenface
Strange that it doesn't show. I don't have the equaliser but I'm not sure where it is actually supposed to be.

maybe it's not for Arc? ,

where you got your widgets? also from Xperia Blog? did you install them in the system using root explorer? or just regular installation?

Posted by goldenface
I transferred them over using PC companion then used root explorer to move and install them. It was quite easy. I've loving the rotating earth live wall paper - very nice. I got the link from Xperia Blog.

Posted by dibdin
Does the earth live wallpaper have any settings?

Posted by goldenface
No, it does not but what I have noticed is that the position and size of the earth on the screen can change, it's change twice since I installed it and I'm not sure if it was me or the app itself which caused it.

Posted by goldenface
Actually, if you tap on the screen it changes the position of the planet. There are 3 positions.

Posted by Bonovox

Posted by arcmhyke
Xperia S 2nd Package

Still, No Facebook Like after Installing FBMusicLike.apk, I think it should be pushed to the system, needs to be rooted, for those who pushed it to the system Music Like button is available.

The New Infiniteview.apk does not work, SemcPhone.apk phone will crash reported by some members

Message and Contacts


Smart Dial


Phone Book



Music Equaliser

SemcMusic.apk for the Music App, and MusicWidget.apk for the Widget, SoundEnhancement.apk for Equaliser, FBMusicLike.apk for Music Like in the Music Player(this one needs to be pushed in the system)

SemcCalendar.apk for the Calendar it works for me though

Posted by Bonovox
Can you delete the APK files once installed from SD card??

Posted by goldenface
@mhyke

Thanks. Downloaded and works perfectly.

I love Android.

Posted by Spinz
when I installed the apks on my neo v, it had a throbbing animation effect on the launcher icon but not on the arc. later I factory reset the neo V nd installed the apks again and this time there was no throbbing effect on the neo V too.

can anybody tell me how to activate it?

Posted by mediar
It should have been bug or something.

Posted by goldenface
My phones looks quite different and a lot better after installing these apps. Pity they can't do anything about the Camera on my XPLAY, it's the crappy stock Android one.

Posted by Bonovox
Yes am loving the new look cannot wait for ICS What's the difference with the camera app then?? I have not got that one??

Not sure but it's available to download. Did you install the new dialler?

Posted by roanmy
How good quality video can the Arc (S) handle?

in mp4, h.264 and ffmpeg?
I am thinking max bitrate for video/audio.

Posted by caff111
Is there any root method after the latest Arc firmware update? I updated mine 2 days ago and now lost the root.....wondering any method for rooting it again? Cheers

Posted by Spinz
Got the Music player working perfectly. I just love it now, the ability to Edit Meta Data and add or edit Album cover art. I mean it has everything I wanted in a music player. Sony has really listened to my requests and I love it now.

Also the new dialer is great with the Smart Dialing function, its also super fast unlike the GO-dialer. Now please update the messaging app to make it functional like the GO-SMS too.


Thanks you and Love u SONY

The new Media Player ripped from Xperia S.

Posted by goldenface
I have the new music player installed but there is no option to edit the metadata included with it.

Posted by Bonovox
Just downloaded new update for Opera Mobile. It's suddenly gone lightning fast with new look bookmark page. For some reason the last update for Opera made it slow

Nice live wallpaper. here.

Hey all

I have a few questions about data traffic, I'm on 1GB/month and I'm very happy with it, however, I found on Play Store a new app "Onavo" that tracks data usage, and I found that the following apps use so much data

- Setup guide (68MB)
- Crash monitor (68MB)
- com.sonyericsson.usbux (44.3MB)
- keypad (36.4MB)
- Protected media scanner (36.3MB)
- Bluetooth share (4.8MB)
- HDMI (4.7MB)

I don't see why those need to use any data to start with, that's why I also included bluetooth share and HDMI, I always have bluetooth on since I sometimes forget to put it on before entering my car and I end up having to grab the phone when it rings while I'm driving (battery wise, I'm not bothered).

Also, I have another problem, the status updates in the phonebook are not happening anymore, like facebook statuses are the same for all contacts for over two months now and I know many of those have already changed!

I'm thinking of a factory reset, but don't want to bother again when ICS is out, any suggestions before I take this step?

Posted by dominiquelan
I love clouds, so I think that live wallpaper is great. Thanks for the heads up!
