Here's a working Deodexed Browser.apk from the ThreeUK build.
the sim-free xZ come with Chrome as default,
some people prefer the normal android browser (I Like both, so use this and chrome beta )
it does have some features that chrome doesn't such as full-screen and quick-controls.
to install : You will need ROOT !
on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove
system/app/chrome.apk
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk
Possibly remove
data/app/Chrome apk
data/data/com.android.browser.provider
otherwise you could get issues with conflicting package names.
then push this to system/app and chmod to 644
Appears you need chromebookmarksyncadaptor as well to get synced bookmarks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32558502
cheers r1c4rd0 for that
Lost with last step then I think "push this to system/app an chmod to 644 ?"
edit: got it, but still not working (rw-r-r)

copy the browser.apk in root explorer to system/app/ and set the correct permissions to the same as the other files in there rw-r--r- (or 644 as a code) :silly:

got it, but when trying to open up it forcesloses (though on background you see page loading (something from sony)
on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove
system/app/chrome.apk
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk => renamed
Possibly remove
data/app/Chrome apk
data/data/com.android.browser.provider => renamed
thank you!

Some people dont like their Call History and Text History combined into 1 big history log. This removes that so that each have their own logs.

Does anyone have the original logs provider apk cause this one ****s up the phone and makes it force close when you hang up a call and when you go into the logs then resets the radio.
Fixed. Thanks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14851129#post14851129
Sorry but this did not work for me.
I got a bunch of FC and then I rebooted and everything was back to the way it was.
UPDATE: got it working now.. See below.
It did work for me. I placed it on my SD card then used Root Explorer to move it to my system/app folder (you have to have it set to read/write, thus you need root access), then let it overwrite the current version, rebooted, cleared my logs, and tested it, and it works for me. I'm on Deodexed, Rooted EF02 with busybox (no idea wtf busybox is). The op was updated and the download fixed at some point, not sure when, maybe you have the older version. I would suggest giving it another try.

When I did this a couple of days ago it didnt work on Odexed or Deodexed. I had to obtain the original one and deal with the sms showing in the call logs. One way around it (for now) is Im using the Go Dialer because it doesnt include SMS in the call log

OK I think it may have worked now. I deleted the "Logsprovider.odex" file in system/app and reboot once again and no more FC. I cleared out the logs and now waiting for a few calls and texts to see if the logs are fixed now.

Seems to be working great now! The only thing I did different was delete that odex file. I read some where that that's what worked for them.
Thanks for This and all the help!
PS All the old logs were still there until I deleted them, so at first it didn't look like it worked.
I have been given the Samsung keyboard and I'm trying to install it and it won't!
Can anyone give any clues as to why it is not installing??
I'm using [ROM][4.0.4] RemICS v1.1 (Team Remics).

If you want then try putting it in system/app and reboot your phone.

Make sure you are rw in explorer, and you might need to delete the old Samsung keyboard if there is one in your ROM, and set permissions to match the other files in that folder, might need a reboot too

Is it actually working for anyone????

If the install and copying to the system/app doesn't work it probably needs other files like framework and permissions.
Hope the ROM guys can fix this up for you.

Here are the original images, wallpapers, ringtone/notification and theme file from the Bond Edition Xperia T.
Needs root to get the actual theme installed, but can have the ringtone & notification anywhere as usual ringtones and select.
Skyfall.apk needs to be copied to 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' folder and permissions changed and reboot!
Thanks to JJD809 who kindly provided the Bond content.
If preferred anyone with a mediafire account could add this content as sendspace link will not last forever.
UPDATE:
TiMiN8R said:
Sony changed the way the themes work on jelly bean so you can't use this one any more.
Download the new one here and put it in /system/app/ (not /vendor/overlay/framework like the old one) and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644), then reboot.

With the help of one of your threads, I successfully flashed my firmware on my Xperia T to get rid of the O2 branding. Before flashing I copied & saved the Skyfall.apk and the tones to the memory card in the hope of pasting them back to their folders. Didn’t realise that the folder would be un-writable. Can any one give me detailed instruction on how to get the Theme back on my phone. I used Flashtool to Flash Firmware and ES File Explorer to copy files to memory card.
Thanks in advance

Check the root thread and use the latest root script to root.
Use ES file explorer and copy the skyfall.apk back to the folder it was in. (see original post)

You must make the folder R/W not just R/O
You need root to do this, and then just click on the grey R/W button in top right of root explorer

Hello everybody.
I would like to know how can I port apps? And what tools do I need.
[Currently], I would like to port the one-handed keyboard from android 4.3 (290) to android 4.2 (257) and I don't have a clue as of how to do it, all I know is that I need the apk ( I have apk and odex (don't know if I need odex) ) and I know that there are some .so and some libs need to be copied as well.
Maybe if I could do this i'll try to port the handwriting from Z Ultra.

Will do, as soon as I go home.
P.S: libs are not in the apk
Edit: it looks like the apk should be deodexed to use the tools I have =/ Tried downloading a ported apk and found out that it is deodexed, pushed to /system/app and fixed permissions, Now I don't get "stopped working", but when I click anywhere to type something, the keyboard simply doesn't show up. it does show up in the settings when connecting to WiFi or something.
