Cool [APP][GUIDE] Xperia Arc S Music Widget And Xperia S Music Player On Xperia Arc S !!

Added video on youtube : http://youtu.be/pGkvpcmWL9o

** Please Note I tried it on my own, Its different **

People who need Xperia Arc S widget and Xperia S player on Xperia Arc S LT18i ..!!!

** There are certain changes in the steps please read carefully **

Thanks to datagubben and fatimarvin_15 (its a mixture of both their steps to get it this way and my created zip file)

All steps to have xperia Arc S Widget and Xperia S Working Equalizer, Clearbass, Surround, FBmusiclikes, edit option (SemcMetadataCleanup.apk) & background color change while music 3d scrolling.. Fully tested and working on my Xperia Arc S LT18i

You need a rooted Arc/ Arc S with 2.3.4 Gingerbread and CWM-recovery.

(a) Download this pack : http://www.4shared.com/zip/KZ2Bi5k9/Another_Way.html

(b) Extract it all and transfer the files to the SD-card .

(c) Start by installing only the following like a regular app : SemcMusic.apk and Soundenhancement.apk (overwrite any present). don't open player after this just do the next step ..

(d) Now you need to swith off and turn on your phone into CWM-recovery mode ..

(e) Flash this via CWM from the SD-card : Soundfx_Xperia_S.zip (contains SoundEnhancement Equalizer to work )

(f) Then flash "lib.zip" (this enables more button in equalizer)

press power off from cwm

(g) Turn on your phone and go in cwm mode again and flash "permission framework.zip"

(h) reboot your phone, remove/move n backup2sd any previous fbmusic like from system, reboot and install new fb music like to sd(for unlock bootloaders wheather they have relocked it later) . Else who have not unlocked bootloader atall, just replace it with new one in file to sys/app with rw-r-r permissions. if this doesn't works just do it as told for the unlock bootloader arc s phones ..

Then just go in settings and recheck facebook integration and fbmusic like will work!!

(i) Then Do it normally for SemcMetadataCleanup.apk install to sd or try it to sys/app with rw-r-r permissions (i cannot confirm its fully functional as i had unlocked bootloader so "download from network" feature doesn't works, but it does work like you can edit album art and add album art pic from gallery and edit song details)

Shew!! Enjhoy!!

do it peacefully, please i will not be held responsible if u brick your phone.. do it on your own risk and carefully!

If you see the music widget being blank, just remove it from screen and re add to screen it should definately work ... with the crystal colour changing according to theme the small flames

So there you have it! Xperia Arc S widget and Xperia S player on lt18i xperia arc s ( cannot confirm for arc as i dont have it )

Please Press Thanks, If You Wanted This And Got it!!

Well guys its only for gingerbread 2.3.4 | .62 as mentioned, mayb for .42 aswell (but i installed it after updating and installing to .62 gingerbread)

i flashed stock .42 via flash tools n rooted it then updated to .62 via wifi and installed cwm and then continued with the main steps on the first post

i didn't like ics so i never tried it there, i believe this method won't work on ics and it would require more modifications ...

and yes so its working on official .62 update as i installed it via wifi the update that we get if we are on .42 first

i believe but not sure that for ics you just need to normally install the xperia s music player and sound enhacement to sd ....

you may get the music player ofcourse running and the xperia s equalizer with better sound quality for earphones.. but u may have to sacrifice the clear bass, surround sound thing and not to install those zip files using cwm .... i am not sure still u can see if it works and if u have no problem that if it doesnt works and u re-flash ur phone again ...

upto you or mayb i'll try to figure out for ics when i get an updated ics better than gingerbread .62

still it is functional.. just the download from network doesn't works and ofcourse it won't work as i have unlocked bootloader, so don't know if its fully functional or not for those who havn't unlocked their bootloader... But as mentioned above it does work like you can edit song details and add album art pic from gallery .. it will bring that album art to that song!

Else you can use media go pc software and use download album info from there

Mainly its all though about enjoying better sound with xperia s music player n its all features, along with the default nice arc s music widget..
