[Q] Stock SMS app in RomAur 4.1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Gus. Hope someone can help me here, losing my mind a little.
I've been running RomAur 3.3 (android 4.2) on my Xperia Z1 pretty much since it came out and loved it!
One of the best things about it was that it had the Option for the Stock ASOP SMS app, and power control.
I recently updated to RomAur 4.1 (android 4.3) and it has non of this!?
Can anyone tell me how to
A, add them myself, or
B, when RomAur will give an updated release with all the stuff they had in 3.3 ?
Thanks

You should ask that on RomAur thread, you would receive answer earlier.
I'm not sure could that work but try to use SMS apk from 4.2.2 on 4.3.
If you are rooted (I'm not sure is that stock or custom ROM), just extract conversation.apk from 4.2.2 (with winzip or something similar), copy to your device.
Move that file to system, change permission to 0644 and move it to app (folder system/app).
Make backup of original conversation.apk if this Foreclose then just move that file back. (same procedure or just try to install original apk like any other apk)

Stock JB Nexus S Google keyboard is needed

Hi
Can Somebody provide me or guide to someplace I can find the stock Nexus S JB 4.1.2 Google keyboard app ? as an apk or a flashable zip ?
Edit : please I am not looking for something from playstore ,, I need the stock Nexus S JB keyboard
I can pull the app from some stock rom zip , but most likely it will not work without the required lib and what not ... A guidance is required please
Thanks

It didn't work. .Tried that already by just copying the apk, setting permissions and reboot. .
Thanks
Your rom is odex or deodex?
You have to go to language and input settings and enable the keyboard over there. You will have to delete the old keyboard as well
Thanks for all the replies..
I didn't mention that I'm on AT&T skyrocket JB Rom...it's deodexed, and ofcourse it's a touch wiz ROM...bad thing is that Samsung removed the stock Google keyboard from their JB Rom(for AT&T it's still a leaked Rom not fully official)
But when I was on ics I had the stock Google keyboard..I might try use that and see...

HELP for themes

Is there any way to create or/and install a theme on my phone, which is not rooted.
The version of my phone is 9.2.A.2.5.
Thank you.
There are guides in XDA, you can search for it.
It it possible at all to install self-created themes on 4.3 without superuser mod?
Being a former stock 4.3 user, I dont think so. Only the theme wallpapers would work in that case. :/

What mods are you trying to install? I can tell you that some modifications don't like Sony firmwares... And that could probably be the cause.

SoftkeyZ was working for me on Android 4.4 CyanogenMod, so it probably has not been made to work with Sony firmware. And for the second mod, you already have the answer. It is only compatible with Android 4.4 and causes a system crash when installed on Android 4.3.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do.. Unless you know how to modify SystemUI and change the icons or port the Xperia Keyboard to android 4.3.
But, if you really want these mods, then install Android 4.4 CyanogenMod because it is compatible with a lot more Xposed mods and other applications..

You don't necessarily need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom, but I would personally suggest you to stay away from installing a custom rom if you have never done so earlier on any other phone and you aren't really an advanced user. Sony's 4.3 is quite good if you are lucky enough not to face lags. I would like to suggest some good modules for sony firmware which you might want to try out -
1) GEM Xperia xposed
2) Flat style coloured bars (for lollipop styled statusbar and navigation bar colouring)
3) GravityBox (you need to be a bit careful with this one)
4) Hide stamina mode icon
5) SEMC phone patcher
6) Xperia flip settings (replaces xperia toggles in statusbar with cyanogenmod styled ones)
Don't forget to read the module description before installing to understand what it does. Enjoy (Y)

[Q] LG Gflex AT&T - LGhome.apk needed

hello guys
i rooted my phone through stumproot so that i can remove the bloat from my phone by using "nobloat"
and accidently i removed the home launcher called LGhome.apk or something like that
i tried reinstalling it by downloading it from various sites but non of them worked for my lg gflex
i am running jellybean 4.2.2
build number: JDQ39B
software version: D9510n
in on stock rom with no additional updates
please help me out , if you can attached the LGHome.apk file here which can run on my phone like it was running before (currenly which i installed is force closing by itself, maybe because of model change or it could be of some other lg phone)
or guide me if there is a better solution than that
please help... because i dont like any other launcher (currently using NOVA launcher) . LGhome is much better
please dont paste themes , since i am in need of the basic LGhome.apk which is the fundamental app to run other themes. :good:
LOOKING FORWARD for help from the DEVS AND PPL ... PLEASE HELP
Please advice any custom rom also which is applicable on this device having jellybean 4.2.2
Since I have installed the latest clockwork mod recovery now

[Request] Please someone can create a rom that is fully look like AOSP?

I know making a rom is a lot of time. But my old dream is an aosp rom on my XZ, but my phone's bootloader is locked (Allowed: No) . So i cant flash aosp. But i seen a lot of mods what is creating "someting" aosp. (I hope you understand what i mean ) So if we put everything in a pack and port some aosp apps like settings,gallery,phone etc....
Is it possible? If it is someone can create it?
Thanks!
It's not easy as you think. ROM like that need to be themed (to look like AOSP) in framework and many other places. Porting apps is easiest thing. As now, i can only recommend you these mods:
AOSP themed SystemUI (available for XZ 5.1)
CyanogenMOD messaging app and
Google Dialer (i dunno that it'll work with XZ 5.1)
@ActorTheBest
The best we can do is replace some of the Sony apps with Google apps from Play Store and move some of the ported CM12.1 apps to system->app folder. I also changed some of the icons from AOSP. See attachment as I wanted the same thing.
Hope it helps. BTW, I have eXistenZ 3.1.0 installed on my XZ.
Is there specific Roms for the xperia that are also like? Or gpe?
