Lost Music Unlimited ability in walkman app after update 4.3 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before update i have fully integration "music unlimited" in walkman app, now i don't have any option to activate again this feature. I try to add sony accounts in settings, "Sony playmemories" and "sony entertaiment network" but no results.
I think maybe its a regional limitation of my 4.3 room.
Expecifically i flash this room. (wiped everything)
C6903_14.2.A.0.290_Generic Central Europe 1276-4314.ftf
Any advice?
PD: Ups i think this post isn't in the correct forum. Sorry

Central Europe roms dont have any of the unlimited Sony services integrated in the media apps. Only way to get them back from my own experience is to flash a Generic UK or US/CA roms.
Which rom did you have before you flashed 4.3 Central Europe?

I always delete it when am rooted what do exactly i still don't know i had Xperia z before

You should flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572195
It's the most complete customization and has no bloatware (besides the regular Sony services).

[Q] I've no Social Life

I'm have problems with the social life app. It used to work fine but when I updated to FW to a Euro generic when ever I try to start the app it asks me to pick my language/country and gives me the T&C's , I accept but then I am sent to the Play store to download Sony Account Manager which it says isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
LOL can't stop laughing at your title.
Anyway, wipe the data settings / apps / social life / clear data. Do a reboot.
If that doesn't work uninstall social life, titanium backup may be needed to remove it.
Then go play store and download it again.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried this several times. Everytime I try to sign up I pick Sony Entertainment Network and it takes me to the Play Store to download Account Manager. I don't use/have a Facebook account. I am trying to think have I removed something from System/Apps that I shouldn't have done.

To my extent of knowledge, it may actually have something to do with that "Account Manager." I remember seeing that on my phone as well but I deleted also, since I do not use SEN.
your best way is to start fresh again if you dont know what you've deleted that may have caused this issue.
1-Back up all your internal files (whatsapp, data counter, messages, etc...) and sync whatever (calenders. task, notes etc...)
2-Repair it through Sony PCC or Sony Update Service, or Flash another FTF file and wipe everything.
3-Download all your apps again and restore them one by one.
Flash German .253 ftf. I had same problem, but the German firmware had this preloaded.

[Q] Android 4.3 Xperia

Hello, I have (little) question about the following:
I have updated my phone to a Android 4.3 ROM, now i really want the Sony Walkman app, and the sony album app and movies,
I searched for a flashable ZIP, and found something, I flashed it, i saw the apps, but the only thing what was working was the Movies app, ( i got Sony Walkman has stopped working, When opening) and i guess it is because i am at Android 4.3,
Are there any ways to get Xperia Walkman app on Android 4.3?
Also another question: If i already have 4.3 on my phone, do i need to flash the FTF Files for 4.3 again etc. ( and wipe everything etc.)
( i know normally you dont have to, because you are already at that Android version, but now because of this is 4.3, an unreleased version, i was wondering if this was the case too, because i dont know if all ROMS are sharing one Android version, or if every rom uses a different one
Thanks for helping me out!

Does Sony provide stock browser on 569 update?

I am sick of Chrome, which has been bundled by Sony on Indian ROMs as the default browser. I'd like to know whether the stock browser come in any other regional rom? I understand that stock browser is installed on most EU /UK ROMs, as per the rules of that region (to prevent unfair bias/preference).....
If so, can anyone help by sharing the browser.apk and the browser.odex files from the latest 569 JB4.3 firmware (or even better, de-odex into a single browser.apk file)?

Stock browser is not included in unbranded EU firmwares (I used 'Generic DE', 'Generic ES', 'Generic BE', 'Generic NL', etc., all without stock browser). The only firmware I have seen with stock browser is 'Vodafone UK', but I don't know if it's still included in the latest version (perhaps someone with 'Vodafone UK' can confirm?). You may try that firmware, it doesn't contain much branding (no logos or anything). What's the problem with Google Chrome anyway?
Never liked any product that links me with a Google account or transmits data back to Google servers without my knowledge or approval. I try to keep as little of Google's "helpful" apps on my system and use xprivacy to obfuscate their data about my phone/system/network/imei/service provider. OP changed to include UK firmware/s.

I can confim that Vodafone UK does include stock browser in 4.3.
From memory, its not a staight forward process of just installing the APK on other firmwares. Think you may need to delete the Chrome files too. Could be wrong, but got this at the back of my mind from about 6 months ago. I'm sure there was a post somewhere on here quite a while back with the instructions on how to do it.

You're right, there is a process and a dedicated thread for it. Thanks for your advice and concerns, I am perfectly aware of the process and have got browser 4.3.6 up and running on my device, thanks to @NetSkill.

Attached deodexed resigned apk,
If you delete browser-provider from your system folder, this application can be installed like a regular application.
Thanks @NetSkill. I was looking for some kind like this. I was using AOKP browser earlier, "had strange freeze on pages"

unfortunately, the .569 browser doesn't work on .101 roms. Is there a stock browser for those roms?
Use the browser from this thread/post for 4.2 /101 firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42808478

I'm using .569 browser in 101.
Just dont forget to remove browserproviderproxy.apk and odex files from system partition.
That aplication force to close generic browser application, and restrict to install as ragular application.

I know, but this is not the problem.
If I push the odexed .569 browser to /system and restart, the browser doesn't even appear on drawer. And if I try to install the .569 deodex browser I receive the "App not installed" error.
I'm using Vodafone DE .101, stock, rooted rom.

Since there seems to be a lot of interest in using stock AOSP browser on Sony ROMs, I'd like someone to help me in fixing this 4.3 browser from Mokee 4.3 ROM for use in stock Sony ROM. Despite my best efforts, the browser FCs on launch. Link http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/zc0e85hu1n9ya7g/Yuga/Browser.apk

--BUMP--
Any responses? Any takers?.....
Like the Mokee 4.3 version of browser more than the stock 4.3.7 browser which has just 3 search providers (Google, Yahoo and Bing), whereas Mokee has DDG also. In stock 4.3.7 there is no way to spoof the browser but in Mokee's you can spoof as Froyo N1, iPhone, Android, Firefox, Desktop etc (AOKP mod)....

[Q] [HELP] Updating social Camera apps

Hi! First Sorry for my English, ill try to explain myself as best as I can.
I have my phone carrier locked, with Orange Spain, and the didnt released 4.3 yet, so I updated my phone to it changing build.prop and via Sus.
Everything works well, I flashed Centroeuropean 1. But when I tried to install Social Camera apps, I saw that only few were available. Not infoeye nor Defocus.
But Motiongraph and motionshot yes.
So I sideloaded the apks, and they are working, but I have some questions:
Werent all the apps ported to our phones, so the must be availabe in Sony select?
If a update is launched for the sideloaded apks, I will get a notification on update center?
I know that the update center works well, because I alredy updated the album with the new rom, but I have a doubt with the sideloaded apks. (btw, when installed, they requested the "Use update center to check for updates" permission)
Thanks to all!
No need to worry about the checks and controls etc.
You need to go to settings > Security and check box for unknown sources.
After that you can check here for some camera apps:

Not all of them tho. Most of them can be found in the Play Store
Cheers.

One last question please. My phone is carrier locked, I was only receiving my carrier's updates, and always late, because is Orange.
As I writed, now I installed European 1 stock rom 1272-3352. And I received a update for the album from the update center.This never happened before, because Orange never released an update for the phone, and they are already with the 4.1.2.
Does it mean that im going to receive future updates like a free bought phone? For example, if Sony releases 4.4 (I hope it) ill be able to update when they do the rollout for Europe, or I would stay until my carrier rolls?
Yes It will use the rom data you have installed

Thanks a lot for clearing all my doubts, I come from Samsung, wich was very simple to root and install custom roms, but with Sony and locked bootloader... I must start like from the begining...

How to start ?

Hi guys,
I'll receive my XZ2C next week, and I wonder how to start with it.
Basically I would like to root and unbloat (I'm a bit used to root/flash and that kind of stuff). I saw that some functions are lost when unlocking bootloader, so how to start right to not loose theses functions ?
Thanks !

You can't avoid the loosing of these functions.
You'll loose Sony backup&restore, Sony club account access, PlayStation Bluetooth controller support, video color manipulation by Sony (but on PIE there is a normal pie function too, which still works.)
And upgrade your phone to the newest PIE firmware before unlocking.
And look into the twrp thread for rooting.
In the xz2 ROM section is a thread to kill bloat.
But maybe the bloat killer is too aggressive.
Anyway you can flash again a new firmware via xperifirm and newflasher.(no OTA update).
And existenze is a good stock firmware mod and brings you at least the stock firmware OTA notification back.

Nice, we also have custom ROMs and the SODP based stuff is a separate development by Sony employees without the DRM stuff.
Means you get camera RAW support and kernel upgrades.
(Camera is still work in progress)
