[SYSTEM/APP FOLDER] All the system apps extracted from Xperia S ICS firmware

iridaki · Jun 21, 2012

Hello!

As some of you may already know, the official ICS update has hit the 2012 Arc successor, Xperia S.

I used Bin4ry's ftf file, from which I took the system.sin and extracted it.

I uploaded the /system/app folder for all of you curious to see which apps will work on our Arc/S and for developers and themers in general.

DOWNLOAD

Feel free to mirror the file and post the link here, I will add it in the OP.
However, please do not ask me for mirrors, it took me well over an hour to generate this one.

Cheers!

I wouldn't know, I don't have an Xperia S!

I will also upload the framework folder tonight, fingers crossed that my internet connection will be stable.

Most -if not all of them- need to be pushed to /system/app, they cannot work as regular apps (installed in /data/app).

i pushed video to system with right permissions but still didnt work.

no, there still music player, but it can not work on arc/arc-s like doom's file
edit: confirm a bug with new app: when chosing another theme color, the new apps still have the color before you flash/copy apps to your phone. lol, Sony always make people working hard to port apps from this phone to other phone.
Weather widget still no working, walkman the same.

@iridaki
If you wouldn't mind could you upload libs & framework too? Yeah you mentioned uploading framework folder but I need libs also

Or if you wouldn't mind could you tell me how you extracted the system.sin without having a device? I would gladly be providing a full system dump if you could teach me how to dump from system.sin. I already tried aIUP, unyaffs and sin2img to no avail.

morenoro · Jun 21, 2012

Thank you very much Iridaki.
Could you extract framework to see changes?

mercury_beta · Jun 21, 2012

i think it's take times to port walkman app fully working on our arc/arc-s 4.0.4.

you can dump the data with flashtool, but i never tried it with Xperia S firmware.

Xperia S uses ext4 filesystem, not yaffs2.
I used Ubuntu to mount the ext4 system img and it worked!

Maybe there is a way to do it in Windows too, I just don't know it.
I'll see what I can do with the framework folder.
