Xperia Arc gets system dumped

Sunday, February 27th, 2011
We all knew it wouldn’t be long until someone decided to go diving into the development world and resurfacing with access for files that we can use for other android devices from Xperia Arc.


Over at XperiaX10 Blog, they have gone into great detail of how to install the Arc launcher, which you can read here. They report that the launcher works rather well, so we question why doesnt Sony Ericsson include this on the next “update”? ;)

Also, our very own Lollylost100 has made a new theme for the HTC Desire HD, and has included instructions on how to install it which you can read here.

It is also worth pointing out that Lolly is also using the newest firmware build for the Arc, so is something which we can expect to see.

Windows Phone 7 For Android (Sort Of)

Friday, December 10th, 2010

MetroUI has been one of the standout features of Windows Phone 7 and now Android users can try it out (sort of) with a new theme released for Android devices.

The theme essentially makes your Android device look like a Windows Phone 7 device (sort of). To be clear though this is just a theme and to be blunt, not a very customisable one at that. The tiles don’t display any live data as they do on actual Windows Phone 7 devices, they are just shortcuts to launch apps.

The theme itself is restricted to either a dark or  alight colour scheme with no other colours being available for the background. You can at least change the icon colours. If you want to re-position any shortcuts you have to first remove them then re-attach them. A bit of a hassle really.

Annoyingly the rather spiffy animations found on actual Windows Phone handsets are not present.

If I’m not selling you on the benefits of this theme (which costs $2.99 by the way) then why not be convinced by the rather inappropriately excited tone of the music in this video?

Remembrance Day Theme

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Today is the 11th of November, which is Remembrance Day in the UK. Other countries may know it as Armistice Day or Veterans Day. It is on this day that we remember and pay our respects to the millions of men and women who have fought for us in war, many of them making the ultimate sacrifice and laying down their lives to ensure that we shall remain free.

Remembrance Day

To commemorate Remembrance Day TehkSeven have released a Poppy theme for various mobiles including Nokia E Series devices, Symbian 5th Edition Handsets and Sony Ericsson handsets. Please take a look and see if your handset is listed.

Lest We Forget.

New version of the Themes Creator released

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

thm-cr

Much like the Update Service, PC Suite and Media Manager, Sony Ericsson’s freely available theme creation tool has received a redesign. The interface is much more streamlined and easier to use. It even supports the inclusion of flash lite files as standby wallpapers. Here’s a small excerpt from Sony Ericsson’s site about the application:

It’s a brilliant free tool that lets you choose the colour scheme, decide on the graphic style, pick the background images … and so on. So now your phone can reflect your mood or your interests; you can make it more flamboyant or minimal, or angular or friendly … or just cooler.

You can download the new version from here:

Elite C905 Themes

Monday, February 16th, 2009

One of my favorite Sony Ericsson Themers is Parano!d, aka Rupesh. He’s a resident themer at both eSeth and MMCForums. His Sony Ericsson Themes are exceptional, his attention to detail is something to be admired. Check out some of his work, and add a splash of color to your phone.

The walkman theme is one of my favorites, it also features “shake it” technology. Simply shaking the phone in standby, animates the theme.

Two new additions to Sony Ericsson’s Campaigns site

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Sony Ericsson have recently added 2 new mini-sites to their ever-growing portfolio of… well, mini-sites, or campaign sites, as they like to call them.

So, the first one is about this app they developed, called ‘Find It’. As the site says, it “can help you locate a whole range of items: your tent at a festival; your car in a crowded car park; your hotel in a busy tourist area; your favourite spot on the beach .” Basically, it’s an app that allows you to tag locations, so that you can find them more easily later on (note, locations, not the TV remote). It requires the HGE-100 GPS enabler accessory in order to work and no, you can’t use your phone’s inbuilt GPS if you have one.

The second campaign site is about some new and hopefully many upcoming motion-controlled… stuff. Wallpapers, games… other things you might want to be motion-controlled, you name it. They’ve even put up a video to hype you up. You know, one of those artistic type of videos that glue your eyes to the screen, despite the fact that they tell you little or nothing about what they’re actually about. After watching the video you are presented with two links. One of them takes you to the main page of PlayNow arena – nothing special. The second brings you to SE’s Fun & Downloads site to browse the (surprisingly many) motion-controlled games. Thankfully, there are a few free wallpapers as well, which are quite nifty.

It’s Sunday night / Monday morning, depending where you are in the world. Though I’m in the UK, so that makes Sunday’s themes a little late this week. Sorry.

This week we’re going to focus on brands. We all have a favorite, what’s yours? Two of my personal favorites are Apple and Innocent drinks. I’ve picked out 6 themes that I think you’ll like, including Walkman, Nike and Firefox.

Sundays Themes, Pick of the Week

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

The weekend is already over and it’s time for Sundays themes. Back to work tomorrow, not that I’ve had much of a weekend off. Unlike Michell who’s hopefully been having an awesome weekend to celebrate his 18th birthday.

I don’t have a special theme today, so I’m going to highlight a couple of the best themes created over the past week.
