Hi guys..
I was an owner of samsung galaxy s2(i9100) and then I moved to the amazing xperia TX.
It is an amazing device as compared to galaxy s2.
However,i do miss the customization choices of the s2 as the TX does not has sufficient developer support as the s2.
Many xperia TX owners root the phone but fear unlocking the bootloader as they fear loosing drm keys,bravia engine,track id etc so they stay away from unlocking the bootloader.
So I thought to create a thread where we can discuss what to do in our devices after rooting so that we can get the most out of our devices
We can have some discussions on root apps,some mods without unlocking the bootloader,system mods etc..

Want cm like themes on your Rooted TX?
This is a great mod that I came across.
All credits go to the developer of the "xtheme engine"

Superior power saving features by using apps such as Greenify and One Power Guard.
Extensive backup and restore functions using Titanium Backup.
Manual system modifications by having access to the root directory. Endless possibilities
Also I used to think that there isn't much development here compared to the previous Samsung phone I had. But to be honest, I am quite happy with the stock Rom. So I don't complain. Occasionally I shift to a CM 10.1 release but then come back to my stock rom. So there is actually not much that devs can do to improve an already full featured rom. This is my opinion.
Hi,
U r right..
When I used a samsung,i always used a sony theme on cm.
But now on sony stock rom,i never felt the need to change to any other rom
Sony's jelly bean is the best...

i tried pimp my rom, but only used the touched velocity something.. i feel my touch ain't that responsive, not due to the kernel though , but maybe due to the screen guard.. not sure

Hi mate,
Just dont apply tweaks that u "think" would make any effects...apply the the tweaks for the feature u want on your phone..
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk 2
Funny thing is, the majority of mods on pimp my rom, we already have on our xperia phones anyways, so there isn't really much to do with it in the end
As for what I do after rooting, I install TB and remove all bloatware, and then leave it as it is because there's not much need for extra mods/tweaks and all that

Hi,
I mean just apply the mods for the changes you "need" on your device.
For example,if we apply the mod "pimp my beats" we can get good quality audio output from our headphones.
I have bravia engine 2 and beats audio installed in my TX and they work really well..

Hi mate,
I agree with your point..but there are still many mods for pimping our rom
We can have build.prop tweaks,init.d support etc.
Me too have not made many tweaks in my TX with "pimp my rom" but there are still many mods which we can apply...
Cheers!!

Hi I'm requesting pa halo for stock ROM as I see its open sourced know so I'm wondering if someone would be able to bake it into the stock ROM?
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Not so sure that can be ported as it may need PA/CM kernel. (But I am no expert on that)
In the mean time you can use this app which I have been using for a long time. Its similar but NOT the same as halo
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsInJvYmouZmxvYXRpbmcubm90aWZpY2F0aW9ucyJd
you can also see the original thread on xda here and from there find the theme thread to go with it.

No you wouldn't need kernel since its just framework mods it could be modded in and yeah I've had that app since it was in alpha Lol that ks tho!!!!!)))
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4 Beta
well if its just framework mods there is a possibility now that there is a thread explaining how to recompile framework-res.apk without bootloops...
There is somewhere one indeed, if I have time I may implement it in my ROM .

I would like to have an Honami style (white) calendar on my phone. How can I?
I like to keep my stock rom. I love mods where I can just swap an .apk.
Look in the themes and app section

Yep. I only saw it using modified framework or with deodexed rom. May be it's my oversight?
No, that is correct
Please close.
Now, I have not seen a thread that explains, in a noob friendly manner, on how to modify an xperia theme or make their own custom xperia theme. I have looked around, found a tool here on XDA but its only for the Xperia Z. No Z1. I want to make the STOCK heat theme (4.4.2) and make the navbar home button become "xperia"
U can try to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582780
But on stock rom without root i think only coloros and navbar icon would change, to mod launcher and icons u need to have rooted device.

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if it possible to theme the stock rom like if it is an aosp rom

Does someone knows how to do it?
Thanks

If you Only want buttons and colors, choose one android theme from my signature (jelly bean or KitKat)
Absolutely possible...
We can theme every little thing in Android...
Actually... That's project I'm working on...
It's still on a "drawing table" but I'm on vacations and I have some free time to play with few concepts....

You could try a different launcher. Nova launcher has a stock feel to it.
