[REF/GUIDE] Sony Xperia S - Complete Development Index // [Updated: 16/04/2012]

---

Welcome to the Complete Development Index!

What is this?

This guide will act as an index to all the various developments, official and unofficial, that are posted in the Xperia S forum here on XDA-Developers. As the phone gets more popular and developers starting getting more and more creative, this will enable those who are first timers, or seasoned developers, the ability to find what they need- fast.

How often will it be updated?

It'll get updated nearly as soon as something new is posted or updated. If you're a developer or you are posting something that you wish to be included, drop me a PM and I'll hop right on it.

Always check out the date in the thread title to see when it was last updated.

I'm a MOD.

Are you? Cool. Well, maybe you could sticky this at the top of the development forum. It'd help a lot! Also, if you could grant any permissions to me so that I can keep updating this in the future- that'd be great too.

Nice thread, man!

Thanks. I'm just trying to help. Feel free to give me a "thanks" to keep me going, if you like. It'd make me smile! Also, don't forget to thank and help other users here on XDA.

Compliment him on what he's doing instead of picking on insignificant errors.

Will do later on. Thanks DooMLord.

you should add the SystemUi Quickpanel Mod for System toogles in the quickpanel (notification bar swipe down). If you ask me, its the most (only?) useful mod around yet.
