Hi,
Sorry novice question but, is it possible to install some of the stock Sony Apps onto a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod? I am running CyanogenMod at the moment and I love it, fast, stable, and without much battery drain. I would love to be able to use the Sony stock camera though.
Is it possible, like installing Gapps, but Sapps?
Thanks
Hi,
apps from Sony "usually" need SONY's own framework. Sadly, the framework itself is not opensourced and cannot be used on other roms.
This is the reply you would usually get when asking other rom developers. Sadly, its true tho.

THere are mods , as far as I know I have cynogen mod on my Galaxy note 2 , and I installed Album , Movies and Walkman and runs perfectly , inicuding the launcher so , any other apps u are expecting..
theirs even small apps mod to make that working , only major thing which isn't ported yet is the stock camera and proper bravia engine etc
those apps need sony framework which isn't included in cm rom

yep with this mod my mic worked on calls. give it a try. you have to mod your build.prop and flash the files. (do an nandroid backup before!)
the most impressive setting is activating sony clearaudio+ , it really comes near to the acidmod.
but all sound mods are depending from your headphones. acid is amazing with my in-ears but it sounds like crap with my big head phones

it should work on szezso rom,
install guide from the dev
just add the lines into your build.prop . i'm using total commander for this. then flash
1. SONY Xperia V Album, Movies & BE 2 For All Device
2. Download Equalizer Clear Audio+ v.3
3. wipe cache+dalvik cache
reboot
the walkman player is a good player, enter the settings in it and activate clearaudio+
do nandroid backup before it,
i didnt use it since 1-2 months, so i cannot report atm
some features (i.e. album art downloader) dont work, check the Q/A in the thread for solutions

Current cybershot mod isn't compatible with kitkat 4.4.2, only with 4.3 jellybean.
Don't worry, just boot to recovery, flash the rom you're currently using, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, reboot and hit thanks if it worked
(oh and next time you are facing a problem or having a question or need help, post it in the Q & A forum. This is for themes and apps :thumbup

Nice to hear this works on Z, but as title says it's for Z1, Z1c, Zu, so sorry I didn't found this but glad that you have found it and most likely I'm going to give it a shot.
However, it looks like there's no revert zip to flash and medhar87 seems to sit in an nasty situation so I'm just trying to help him out.
If you want the cybershot name just the name then you can download xsuite xposed module which lets you change the name but there wont be any cybershot mods
Hi! :laugh:
Today I downloaded newest version of Walkman app via Sony Update Center app.
App is very good and have new look
I only sharing this app :good:
New features:
- new fresh look like in Lolipop or new Youtube app
- new album art
- new icons
- new launcher app icon
- you can use other equaliser from google play
- navbar size fixed, now you can have any navbar size without editing nothing
- smooth scrolling and fast operations
Bugs:
Maybe this is only for Existenz 4.50 rom, because can't open audio settings, so before installing new Walkman set audio settings.
Perhaps you can open audio settings if you have stock rom.
Installation:
Install like normal app, you don't need root.
Enjoy new Walkman
Why we find alot of threads now with updated walkman if we all can simply update it with update center -__-
Sorry just my way of seeing,
You can make the settings in walkman to work, this is what brother @niaboc79 explained what todo and howto fix
niaboc79 said:
If you are updating Walkman to latest build with Lollipop style.
Go in system/vendor/overlay and delete SemcMusic-Overlay-300.apk

I am using the pre-rooted .167 rom in the development section, and i don't see any update for any app on my Z2 in my update center, so i think this kind of thread is somewhat useful

As marshmallow has been officially launched on certain xperias, is someone working on it to port it to SP?
It will be awesome.
It really is could be a great thing. However, fundamentally and technically, this is impossible....

I will need to write a book if i need to explain to you.
But i simple words, "looks" aren't ported. They are just remade to mockup the same experience. Apps can be ported thanks to a general Sony framework
But the whole ROM of Marshmallow? Then impossible. Because there is no public source of the sony android. Therefore no one can port anything.
If you want your phone to look like an Xperia and also want to use the Xperia apps, I will guide you to a simple flashable zip that will allow you to install Sony apps from play store. Then if you use CM, you can install an Xperia theme. So far Marshmallow theme hasn't yet surfaced, but a Lollipop one can be find a lot on the Internet, and a lot of them are supported on CM13's theme engine

Thank you for your kind reply and am sorry for asking such dumb question. Actually am new to custom rom world and xda so I thought one thing from mobile can be another mobile... LOL :silly:
Anyway, I once installed CM 12.1 from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan but it lacks sony apps (walkman and album is all I need). By flashable zips, you mean to say that I can install on CM 12.1 and those apps will get updates if any come in the future?
Also, what is the difference between CM11, 12.1 and 13?
Waiting for your reply.

It's okay, there are plenty to learn
Of course it will lack SONY apps, because the ROM is a custom ROM. Custom ROM is very different in nature from stock ROM. And yes, by flashable zip, you can install any of SONY apps and gets update from the Play Store However, keep in mind, some DRM-sensitive features like the Sony Music (used to be walkman) Songs Information downloader will no longer exist, since, well, you already wiped your DRM keys from your TA Partition during bootloader unlock..
Here is the link to the Sony framework zip on Mega: https://mega.nz/#!wwURzAyI!lMNndMjEvZoKCYHo_oJ-SXq1oM9jQLvlcnCRIa2Vdzs
The difference between the cm11, cm12.1 and cm13 is the Android versions.
cm11 means Android 4.4.*
cm12 means Android 5.0.* [no longer exists]
cm12.1 means Android 5.1.*
cm13 means Android 6.*

Hmm... Thank you for clarifying.
Going to install CM 12.1 or 13 tomorrow. Can you please share SONY ALBUMS, MUSIC, VIDEOS and SKETCH flashable zips so I can get updates in future.
Also, which add-ons you recommend for CM 12.1 / 13?
PS: Which one you recommend for daily use? 12.1 or 13?

I have already given you the link to the framework zip. Please re-read and try to understand my last explanation
After flashing the zip, you will have to go to play store and search for the Sony apps you wanted.
About the recommendation part, I have no idea as I personally are not using cm. However, for the question of "12.1 or 13", I'd recommend for you to go for 12.1 if you prefer stability, over bleeding-edge (cm13)

Just stick with stock if you're a simple guy. If you want extensive tweaking, go for Helium kernel, the one and only custom kernel available for Lollipop+
