Xperia V ICS retail pics

Hi there!
I bought my Xperia V yesterday, and it was still on ICS.
On the album app it came with some very nice pics of random stuff like flowers, landscapes, tomatoes..
But, after update it to JB they have gone...
Does someone have these pics?
If yes, could you gently upload it or tell me where to find it? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a lot!

this is a bit of an overkill solution but
Download a ftf from the all in one thread, extract the system.sin, dump it as system.ext4 using flashtool, then use an ext2explorer to find those pics in the system and copy them to your phone

I had no luck...
I downloaded the two ICS ftf's available here on the forum for the Xperia V and none of them had the pictures. :crying:
I searched on every folder.
Does anyone know if one of the FTF's there for other models (Xperia T, TX or TL), has it?
Thanks a lot!

No one?

Check in the following folder
System/etc/customisation/content/com/Sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers

Hi Greg!
Thanks for the reply!
Yes. I saw that folder with the pics, but they're not the ones i'm talking about.
The ones i'm talking were on Sony's Album app, and were like demo images.
For example: A pic of some trays of tomatoes or strawberrys (i don't remember exactly) on a market. Some landscapes and flowers...
All on HD.
Did your Xperia had it when it was on ICS?

I'm watching some reviews of the Xperia V on youtube, and when they open the Album app, they're there!
Look:

hallo,
i posted the same problem, but mine was that i accidental deleted it. Do you use Factory Reset after the Update? that was my mistake, i activated a button (delete internal storage) to much :crying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151205
the pictures are not in the ftf or other ROM's. i tried many things and extracted different ROM's. i also contacted Sony Helpdesk and they prevert me to make a Factory Reset by PC Companion ... but, that "only" restore the System.
Sony will not provide the content. the only chance is, that a other Xperia V Owner will provide the Folders.
The other problem with a blank internal Storage is, that some functions (e.g. screenshots) bring errors without the default folders on the right place
if you get the content, please send me a message.

And i'm here to share it with you all!
Best of all, it's beginner friend and NO ROOT Required !

1) Simply download the APK here: TaskKiller-1ClickCloseAll.apk OR Here (Mirror)
2) Install like a regular APK
3) RESTART your phone ! (MUST)
4) Open a few Apps
5) See Recent apps
6) Now you will see the "Close All" button at the top left corner
7) Happy Pressing "Close All"

[HELP] Modern Combat 5 Apk Not Installed

Hey guys. I recently bought Xperia Z1 and have been using it for more than a month. I have updated it to the latest android version Lollipop 5.0.2(Official Stock ROM)
Recently, I searched for the latest version of Modern Combat 5 and downloaded the apk and data for it on computer (Latest version is v1.2.0o). And then I put the apk file in sd card and tried installing but always gives and error and doesn't install.

I later downloaded different versions and from different websites and tried to find the solution but got to no conclusion. If possible I don't want to root my mobile right now. And I totally understand the topic of rooting and am not an amateur. I owned a HTC Explorer and have experience in creating ROM's too.
Need help, Modern Combat has been my favourite game for a long time and I want to try the 5th part of the game too.

maybe because it is not from playstore bro

But the play store one needs 3g Internet to be on all the time. So I wanted a offline version.

Can I do OTA upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0 on SO-02G running D5803 UK Lollipop?

I just got a used Sony Xperia Z3C from Japan (Docomo SO-02G). I tried to convert it into D5803 with UK customized firmware by following instruction from an old YouTube video but I failed and bricked the device. Luckily, someone else repeated the procedure again and successfully installed the same firmware in the handset. It’s running okay with exception to few bugs but there’s a problem.

}
I directly downloaded the file from an old tutorial and it was 5.1.1 Lollipop where Z3C can be upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow. Now I’m afraid if I attempt an OTA upgrade, it’ll either end up installing SO-02G (Docomo Japan) latest OS or brick the device once again. Some people say that I should go for update and it will only upgrade it to Marshmallow for D5803 since it’s already running Lollipop for the same version. Others say I’ll have to find a latest firmware for D5803 and start the procedure all over again.
If I must install another firmware, which one should I choose? Is Global Generic version a better option? I’m from Pakistan where Z3C was never officially launched, so I can take advantage of not having country/region specific apps which are normally loaded in non-global models. Look at the size; 1.05GB vs. 1.59 GB.
And last but not least, how do I know the firmware file I create using Sony FlashTool is of the latest Android Marshmallow 6.0 for Z3C?
I’d prefer a stable stock OS as I am a normal phone user, not a developer, hacker or a gamer. I think after upgrading to Marshmallow, there won’t be any major system update.

I guess images gone missing because system doesn't allow new members to include urls :/

Casual Sony XZ1 Compact user: which ROM should I use?

Hello everyone, It's been a while that I want to upgrade my stock XZ1 Compact phone to Android 11 and I'm trying to understand what is the best choice for my needs.
I'm looking for a Android 11 ROM that is "clean", without particular customizations or experimental software... I need it to be stable, first. Then, as a typical Android user, I would like to have Google Apps (Play, Maps, Photos, ...). No need instead to have Sony Xperia companion software, I never used it.
If I search for "lilac Android 11 ROMs", I see these on top:
1) LineageOS 18.1 Unofficial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-lineageos-17-1-18-1-unofficial-update-2021-08-11.4308295/
2) Havok 4.6 Official: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-havoc-os-4-6-official-r.4225905/
3) AOSP 11 from another website: https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-11-sony-xperia-xz1-compact/
My doubts are related to (1) and (2): which one is the most tested and stable? Let's say, I don't want to flash my phone to have Android 11, but then Wi-Fi is not working as expected
I'm aware that the stock camera won't work anymore, and I will have to use OpenCamera.
Also about (3): how reliable is it? How is it different from the ROMs posted on this forum? From my udnerstanding, AOSP means it is "just" Android, no-Google. If I flash it, will I be able to still install Google Apps? Is it still a good choice compared to (1) and (2)?
Many thanks to everyone for the support

Hi there. I've had the same dilema. For short, Android 11 is "bleeding edge" - so some features are not yet supported/problematic (LOS 18.1). Android 10 (LOS 17.1) is better, because sony camera blob works, volte works, etc.. i'am using it for 2 months now and had zero problems, 100% stability and Good battery life.

If you want to get a system like in iOS (that is, closed), then put any ROM on android 10. You can't delete anything from the ROM or change it, get ready. New AndriOS

You wouldn't understand it. It is obvious that you are new and probably do not know what a deodex is even. So let's forget about the conversation.
