[PORT] [XPERIA EVENTS][new Custom BG][TIMESCAPE's "better" ALTERNATIVE]...[ZEUS][CM7]
GOOD NEWS for those using ZEUS& wanting TS but getting graphical glitches.
the screenshots are form ZEUS. so will work guaranteed
ok...i did this port long back,for the xperia x10 mini.that time i only use to have an x10 mini.
now that i gave TimeScape to the Op. Black, i thought of sharing this as well.
PREREQUISITE: to have Timescape installed.
the xperia events is actually more "FUNCTIONAL" and "USEABLE" than the timescape (i feel TS is primarily a show-off )
flash the TS zip from my other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471578) & then
just install the attached apk normally
the menu shown with much space below is a problem with the theme i am using with zeus. won't be there in yours.
enjoy
FOR ZEUS SPECIFICALLYdelete the TimeScapespline.apk to remove Timescape and use the WIDGET along with XPERIA EVENTS
Edit 2:New custom background Xperia Events Availabe. looks WAYYYYY better. check out the screenies
hope i helped in customizing your black a bit.
for getting ONLY EVENT STREAM "WITHOUT" TIMESCAPE in app drawer and the timescape widget,
delete the following under /system/app
1. the unneeded plugins (like i deleted the EventStreamPluginK9Mail.apk as i don't use k9 mail)
2. TimescapeSpline.apk (for removing timescape from app drawer)
3. TimescapeWidget.apk (for removing the widget) if you WANT to use a widget with xperia events, do not delete this. it will sync just fine with XPERIA EVENTS
u can use this app while using other home apps like the LG HOME
check the screenshot
Im still getting graphical glitches
Should i flash the bravia engine mod also?

if you flashed the timescape zip, the B.E.mod is incorporated in it.
u sure using "XPERIA EVENTS" from my 1st post of this thread and STILL getting glitches??!!!!...delete the apps mentioned in the 2nd post, reboot and see if the problem persists.
ALSO: please upload a screenshot with the grahics problem with XPERIA EVENTS. it'll help me in sorting out.
i had problem with Timescape on ZEUS, but never had a problem with the XPERIA EVENTS.
xperia events are working..but the timescape tiles are still glitchy! and i prefer timescape!:$

then u gotta wait. i'll try to get TS working in ZEUS after some time. currently, am thinking of dirtying my hands with my iphone4 a bit . it's not even jailbroken. lol
Iphone?? booooooo
GUYS....XPERIA EVENTS can be usaed as a standalone app with SNS integration.
XPERIA EVENTS is pretty light and has a nice interface. collecting all your social feed in one nifty place is very cool according to me.

yes...because TIMESCAPE is NOT installed
this is the xperia events port exclusively done by me, which uses the same skeleton framework as TIMESCAPE.
actually the timescape UI that you see is the app called "timescapespline" and in xperia events, it is NOT installed (since ZEUS is having graphical problem with it).
xperia events CAN use the timescape widget just like normal, so i kept it.
but the upper icon is to open the timescape app and will not work with xperia events.
hope i helped.
ok so I flashed to timescape + be from your other thread but I can't find it in my sdcard in order to delete and install the xperia events :/ basically I couldn't get rid of timespace even if I wanted to lol
no extenstion are showing eg fb or call log or sms in xperia events , i do not get force close just a home button on the screen . other then timescape what else do you need instaled as minimum for xperia events to work ?

sorry for replying late...u can find the apps @ /system/app and the respective folders as the provided zip. just use any root file manager and delete them.
BUT u don't NEED to delete timescape for installing XPERIA EVENTS. if you are having the graphical glitch, please delete the TimescapeSpLine.apk and you would be good to go

u need the "event streams" (the main app, the eventstreams 'extensions' as given and the spline to get the xperia events going) and also can use the generic timescape widget to get the xperia events notification on your homescreen.
hope i helped.
HOWEVER, please note, am saying this ALL from my memory since someone stole my optimus black a few days back. so please don't flame if i go wrong somewhere.

I have noticed that the Gallery app slurps most of my battery, about 30-40%, sometimes more than the screen. Googling it i found out that there are several devices having this problem, they traced it to the gallery keeping up services in the background that are not actually needed. For some devices, there have been Gallery mods that address this problem. So here's my questions:
1. Are you having the same issue?
2. Anyone thinking about making a mod of our own?
(As soon as I get home I will try those other mods on my O2X, maybe they will do).
Using CM7 latest kang (31+).
Install quickpic, that way you don't have to use the gallery anymore.

We have some facebook addons in /system/apps...they are only for example showing facebook-messages in phonebook contacts
EDIT: I usually delete these apps too...
Hello,
First of all, Happy new year 2014.
I have a problem regarding Facebook with Xperia, i can't upload any pictures via Xperia to facebook saying failed to upload with a RED icon on the tray.
I am disappointed because I've try everything without results :
-Install/uninstall FACEBOOK app.
-Install/uninstall ALBUM app.
-Install/uninstall Xperia account from device.
-Privacy settings on facebook does not change anything.
it's an XPERIA Z1 (C6903) under Android 4.3 and all applications are updated.
if anyone can help me I would be grateful.
Best regards,
Hey guys, I was listening to a music with WALKMAN today when I notice no matter what music with what picture I played the light always shows a bright pink and doesnt change to any other color
and also in album app light doesnt turn on with any picture(of course I checked it settings)
First I thought my illumination bar might be damaged but after trying to use third party apps like discolight to see how it responds it was all ok it could show every color!
I haved updated my media apps recently through update center few days back but I dont think it's because of that because it was fine till today
---
I tried rebooting and clearing light effects app data and force stopping it but no good result
any idea?:crying:
help guys??!
I also noticed that my walkman them does not change according to music picture it's always pink!

yes it's stock based, Existenz 4.0.0
I suggest you reflash the rom you're using. Hopefully it'll work.

It would be great if you post the method now. It'll help other people to find the same fix / workaround if they searched through the forums.
I will even bookmark your post in case someone else faces the same problem as yours
Alright I found the topic
so as I mentioned before I noticed that the background color of my WALKMAN app was not changing so I googled it and this topic came up...follow instructions and you will be able to fix it

Hi,

Illumination doesn't work in album and SMS (receiving and missed, but at receiving calls and at missed calls it works, i dont know why).
With walkman have same problem illumination works fine, but background always stays purple.
I am using MasterRom V5 White with Z2 UI.
Thank You,

Just got my XZ1c today, and I'm pretty happy with it, but it's missing the Photo/Video widget that I've used on my previous Xperia Compacts. Anyone know of a similar widget that I can use?

There is a similar widget built into the default Lineage OS gallery.
I'm on the stock rom, and don't plan to root this phone for awhile. The last time I looked for a similar app on the Play Store (I was hoping to use Nova Launcher), I couldn't find anything like it. I had one page in my stock launcher dedicated to the Photo/Video widget.

Try this out:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...ry-1-1-40030-3-android-apk-download/download/
See if you can get the widget working from this gallery app. This is the Lineage OS one I mentioned before.
Thanks! Works, but not like the old one...
The old version would display one picture or video at a time, was scrollable, and clicking on it would take you to that object in the Gallery app. It can be resized to fill the whole page. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help, though!

Happy to help.
My last suggestion would be to look for an older version of the Sony Album app on Apk Mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/album/album-9-8-a-0-8-release/
Find the version that still has the features and see if it works on Android 9.
No luck so far...
Could it be possible to copy it from Z1c or Z5c? It was a system app.

You might be able to find the same version of the album app on APK mirror that is on the z5c. You should be able to see the version number of the app in the app info page in the settings.
Or try extracting it from the z1 or z5 if you still have them. I am not a developer so I don't know if this will work for you, but I usually use "my apk" from the playstore to create an APK from apps on my phone. Then you can try to install that APK on the XZ1c.
my apk link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Awesome, I'll give that a shot. Thank you!
