For those of you who want to run your favorite apps in Phone mode or Tablet mode, scale fonts, keep screen ON, or even change language on “app basis”, you can do it easily on “any” rooted Android smartphone or tablet device running Android 4.0.3 or higher. (ICS and Jelly Bean)
TABLET + PHONE User Interface..
Screenshots
How is that possible?
There’s apps called Xposed Framework Installer and Xposed App Settings, which allow you to make this happen just like if you were doing it with a ParanoidAndroid custom ROM.
So, if this is something you might be interested, (perhaps you want to make the fonts bigger on your GMail because you are farsighted, or run Netflix in tablet mode to see more titles on your phone, or maybe even keep your screen on while viewing non-downloadable flash videos on your browser) read on to follow the step-by-step guide.
Requirements:
- rooted Android smartphone or Tablet with Android ICS or higher. (4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.2.1)
PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and ARM machine code, using JIT recompilers (dynarecs).
PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger ARM-based phones and tablets, as long as there's support for OpenGL ES 2.0. Increasing compatibility!
PPSSPP is only a few months old and thus not all PSP games are currently playable. However, compatibility is improving very quickly!
Some currently known playable games:
Monster Hunter Freedome Unite God of War - Chains of Olympus Dragon Ball: Evolution Virtua Tennis Final Fantasy Type-0 Lumines Wipeout Pure and Pulse Saint Seiya Mega Man - Maverick Hunter X
Compatibility Showcase » Free & Open Source
PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later). Anyone is welcome to contribute their improvements to the code, and the hope is that over time this will resolve the compatibility problem, letting us all play the PSP games we wants on the devices of our choice.
Experimental Firefox OS software for Xperia™ E available for developers [ROM]
Earlier this week, Sony and Telefónica announced in a joint press release that we are evaluating the Firefox operating system for mobile phones. To show you our current progress, we now also provide an experimental version of the Firefox OS software for Xperia™ E, so that advanced developers can try it out and so that we can get valuable community feedback. In this article, we give you the background of Firefox OS, instructions how to flash Firefox OS on Xperia™ E, as well as an introduction to how to start developing applications for Firefox OS.
Firefox OS is a new mobile operating system built entirely upon open web standards, and Sony is interested in exploring this technology with Telefónica to help bring the power of the web to mobile. This sentiment is further expressed by Bob Ishida, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Head of Products Business Group at Sony Mobile Communications, who says:
“At Sony Mobile, we continue to evaluate innovative technologies that can help deliver the premium user experiences that Sony’s consumers expect. Our engineers are now working with Firefox OS Mobile and HTML5, evolving technologies which show great potential.”
Now we’re ready to share our initial experiments on Firefox OS with the tech community, to get valuable feedback. More importantly, we want to reach out to the application community and support the early adopters who can start to develop applications for Firefox OS. Therefore, Sony experts Andreas Sandblad and Per Åstrand have put to together an experimental Firefox OS ROM for you to flash on Xperia™ E.
This software is not intended for daily use, and several important limitations apply. You can read more about this in the section “How to flash Firefox OS on Xperia™ E” below, but first Anders Isberg, Web Researcher from Sony, will introduce you to the Firefox OS.
An introduction to Firefox OS – the newest mobile platform Firefox OS is based on the idea of taking the web application model a step further and enabling support for all types of applications. This includes applications that today are done with native programming languages, such as the camera application or the traditional dialler application. To facilitate these requirements, Firefox OS provides a richer set of device APIs compared to traditional web browsers. In addition to traditional web browsers, Firefox OS also have a privileged access model for applications. This ensures that applications cannot access sensitive APIs without proper authorization.
One of the cornerstones of the web application model is the openness, which is one of the reasons for the popularity of web. Therefore, it is essential that this technology becomes standardised to avoid creation of new proprietary technology. W3C has established a new working group, Web System Application working group, which has support by a broad range of players in the industries. Sony also supports this initiative, and we are committed to contribute to the work of defining a new standard for web system applications in W3C.
The architecture of Firefox OS Now let’s take a brief look on the Firefox OS software architecture. In simplest terms, Firefox OS consists of three key components:
Illustration of the Firefox OS architecture.
Gonk, which is the middleware that consists of a Linux kernel together with several software libraries and a hardware abstraction layer. Gonk runs on top of the mobile chipset that includes hardware and device drivers. Gecko, which is the application runtime that implements the HTML5, CSS and JavaScript execution environment. Gaia, which is the user interface in Firefox OS and provides the home screen and application launcher user experience.
Since Firefox OS’s primary application model is based on web technologies, there is no real concept of native applications. All user experience are developed using HTML, CSS and JavaScript technologies.
How to flash Firefox OS on Xperia™ E Now that you have a basic understanding of Firefox OS, and if you’re ready to start tinkering with it on an Xperia™ device (for now, Xperia™ E), the next step is to flash Firefox OS on it. Before you flash this experimental ROM, please consider the following carefully:
Before you unlock the boot loader, make sure that you have read and understood that unlocking the boot loader may void the warranty of your device. You must be using an unlocked Xperia™ E. It will not work on a locked Xperia™ E. You should be an advanced developer with extensive knowledge in how to flash and switch between different ROMs. If you are a consumer without these developer skills, then we strongly recommend you not do try this as you may damage your phone. Some of the features are not switched on or implemented: No radio connectivity available, due to that this software has not passed certification and type approval. This means that you cannot make any phone calls or use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The functionality of the SD card might be unstable. The touch sensitivity is not fully calibrated.
This software can be flashed on an Xperia™ E that has similar hardware specifications as the initial scope of the first version of Firefox OS and is therefore a natural candidate.
Flash Firefox OS on your Xperia™ E by performing the following steps:
Unlock the boot loader using our unlock boot loader service. Note that the possibility to unlock a device can sometimes be restricted due to operator restrictions. Also note that once you’ve unlocked your phone, you will not get any official software updates from Sony. Download and install the flash tool for Xperia. Start the flash tool and connect your phone as described in the flash tool instructions. When you connect your unlocked Xperia™ E, the Firefox OS software will be available to flash. There is also a standard Sony software version that you can flash, if you want to go back to Android™ from the Firefox OS software.
If everything went well, your device is now ready to boot with Firefox OS. Turn on the power and after the initial boot sequence, you can start to explore Firefox OS.
How to build apps for Firefox OS One of the most exciting aspects of web-based devices is that there is already a well established ecosystem for application developers. If you have already developed web applications, you can continue to use your favourite tools. However, before starting to implement your first application, there are some resources that are useful to consult. The Mozilla Developer Network has an extensive set of documentation on how to get started with Firefox OS development. There you will find information about how to write an application, the privileged access model, emulators, debugging instructions and considerations to get good performance.
If you are used to develop web apps, you will immediately recognise the way of developing applications. However, one key component that is added is the concept of manifest files. The manifest file contains extra metadata about the web application, to make it installable. For example, the following information could be declared in the manifest:
*path to the application *privileged API access *localization data *links to different icon resources
Once the app is developed and the manifest is created, the application can be installed on your device. If you would like to share your first applications, it is possible to self-host the applications on your own server by adding some lines of code into your web page. Here is an example of how to self host an application.
