That method should *theoretically* work on all Android roms/phones, but some system apps only work with certain roms. For example, most Touchwiz apps cannot be installed on AOSP or CM based roms. If an app is not compatible, it will force close continually until you remove it from /system/app

[System DUMP] Xperia Play R800i Nordic 2.3.4

Here is the latest Xperia PLay Firmware,avalibile for you to download !
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8XHT14MR
What does this have over Neo and Arc?
The Free official Sony-Emulator, PLaystation pocket app and a free game to boot (Crash bandicute)
Big Note: For you to "TRY" and enable On-screen controls,go To SD/Android/Data/sony.playstation.com.NCEA00344_1 ,find and navigate to "UCC folder" AFTER you installed updates on your phone! (if not possible to update the game,i will give you the zpak)
IN the "UCC" folder there are 2 files metadata.xml and preferences.xml
preferences.xml can be edited with a web editor,all you have to do is put them to true/false and save it
Another nice app? Wave Lite Wallpapers (PS3) and PSP screen!
*Not sure about this app and how its gonna work on X10: But there is a nice Launcher for Optimized XPlay games (like dead space,age of zombies),ITs called Xperia Play.
CANT install APPS?
If you are trying to install it by simply pressing install, that will not work, you would have to use either ADB, Terminal Emulator, or push it in the system with an update.zip
Yeah, why not? Do this my friend
Yes it will be great
If there is anything i missed in the system dump,please report
unspecified path.. urgh.. it downloaded just fine.. jeez...
E: coz i only need individual apps..
thank you, but i have a question
how do i move these items over to use on my verizon xperia play? i want timescape ui, but it wont install on my phone. can you help me out?
Am I right that this fw is the only one with automatic brightness in the settings?
Could this be ported to X10?

try moving the system apps to system/app, maybe that will work? or if not then you would have to use either ADB, Terminal Emulator, or push it in the system with an update.zip

Stuck at the same issue..
It seems the smali version in our framework2 is different to the smali files provided in OP. So I have no idea how to fix this. You might try to decompile a working ported framework2 with your apktool and extract the stuff needed to port from there. But dont expect too much.

sorry but actually i dont think its possible to make a no-root version of this specific app , this is a sort of addon that integrate the original systemui app like the other apk inside the overlay folder...
@Alex_rac I know you do not want to change the orginal version of Sony, but a modified version with rounded button in Material Design will be great too without changing the IUSystem.apk

Tried decompiling the apk using Advanced APKTool with Lollipop support.
Can't find anything related to it's resources, just 2 xml files which more or less contained bool values.
Not sure if that's the proper way to decompile the apk.
Here is flashable zip, you can install it via recovery. Based on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60124426&postcount=1

because this app act like a token that enable the button inside the systemui (so to have a round version of the button we need to mod the systemui.apk )

Flash the zip. Maybe it fails. Now read the text displayed by the recovery log. Says you must mount system manually on TWRP or CWM, and reflash zip.
Not work :/
E:Error exe****ing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/SonyFiles.zip'.
I mount system manually..
I use TWRP.
I've extracted the walkman app and installed it normally and it worked flawlessly on CM12.1 Hammerheadcaf.
A bit off topic: I tried to install the walkman app on my Stock G2 Lollipop 5.0.2, it got installed, but when I open the app, it Force closes, the same with lower "8" version ports. It used to work on Stock G2 Kitkat.
Does these apps work on stock Roms like cataclysm? any workaround to work? want to try walkman/music app :
Edit: I tired walkman/music app on stock cataclysm and it's working great. Thankx for the port. There is no clear bass in this verson? sound enchantment takes me to stock equalizer

This features requieres additional Sony files. You can use Viper4Android, its workin' perfectly with Walkman for me.
You gave me an idea. Stay tuned

Thats not off topic dont worry
Try to make a logcat, or make a backup of Stock LP rom, and flash the Sony files flashable zip to see if it resolves. I recommend you to make a backup in the case of flashin results in a bootloop, i just tested it on Euphoria-OS AOSP on my Nexus 5.
If not, make a logcat extract and submit it to pastebin.com, and post the link

Tried multiple times to restart, deodex system apps, and grabbed logcats, but still crashes and never reached any bootanimation, so i stopped it for now, hoping somebody one day will help me
Ohh. Sad to hear that. Wish i could help but i don't have knowledge to porting stuffs. Good luck for the future.
I installed Album normally, runs ok but there are graphical glitches here and there. Then I tried flashing the API zip but it showed an error. (I did mount system and I'm using CWM)

I dont faced it personally.. Dont use CWM, its discontinued, use TWRP instead, and it should work.
I just updated Music app to 9.0.1.A.3.0 Beta
Sony seems to have added a quick button, with new settings, allowing to read some playlists.
Here's APKMirror changelog :
Change log:
- Quick play button (Experimental feature)
- Color picking on landing page items
- Misc bug fixes
** Please note that the beta application is not fully translated. **
I wont notify every update i make and upload on my Sony AndroidFileHost Folder, so subscribe to Sony Music app updates on Pushbullet, and when you see an update, the ported apk will be available here as usual, within 24 hours.
Cheers
