Instructions for manual installation on Xperia ICS firmware devices:
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
Clearing predefined system settings xml´s folder for Home.apk:
- Check for this path in your /system: /system/etc/customization/settings/com/sonyericsson/home
- If the /home folder is there, just delete it (only /home) !!!
Now install:
1 - Download attached v4.2_ICS_MultiResolution_Xperia_GX_Home.apk and put it on your sdcard
1.1 - Rename it to Home.apk
2 - Download attached v4.2_ICS_HomeAdd.apk and put it on your sdcard
2.1 - Rename it to HomeAdd.apk
3 - Download attached v4.2_ICS_HomePreferences.apk and put it on your sdcard
3.1 - Rename it to HomePreferences.apk
4 - Using Root Explorer copy all three files to /system/ (mount /system as R/W)
5 - Change all three files permissions to rw-r--r-- like img:
6 - Long press on Home.apk and select Move
6.1 - Paste Home.apk on /system/app/ (replace if asked)
7 - Long press on HomeAdd.apk and select Move
7.1 - Paste HomeAdd.apk on /system/app/ (replace if asked)
8 - Long press on HomePreferences.apk and select Move
8.1 - Paste HomePreferences.apk on /system/app/ (replace if asked)
9 - Reboot you phone
Important (after reboot)
10 - Go to "Config >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> All", tap on "Xperia Home" and select "Clear Data" (you need to rearrange your widgets)
VERY IMPORTANT
Home.apk, HomeAdd.apk and HomePreferences.apk work together and they should be in the /system/app folder!!
Or simple flash attached v3 or v4.2 ???_Home_Update.zip on recovery with CWM ! (see second post)
For v3 Mini layout, rename and install:
AddWidget.apk
Home.apk
HomePreferences.apk
To do:
