Get Sony Xperia Jelly Bean Themes V.1 Vico

Jelly Bean is the word everywhere. Over a few days we have seen Jelly Bean 4.1 ROMs ported on various handsets like Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 and such other popular handsets. Also, we have seen how Jelly Bean 4.1 apps are working on various other phones as well even without the Jelly Bean custom ROM. Developers wants the Android users to get the Jelly Bean hands on experience even without the official Jelly Bean Android platform release. This effort is truly appreciable.

Here, we are going to discuss about efforts of one of the Senior members at XDA named vicino. He claims that he could successfully create Jelly Bean Sony Xperia themes. We heartily congratulate him for his work and expect that he comes up with much such brilliant stuff.

How to Install Sony Theme for Jelly Bean

1. Kindly take the back up of the phone first. This is very much important. If while flashing the theme if any problem occurs, then you can always have an option to return back to your original settings. That’s the reason why we strongly recommend you to take a proper back up of the phone. This includes everything from settings, SMS, contacts and data. In case if there is some data loss, you will have to bear the brunt of the issue. Thus, be alert and take the complete back up.
2. You can now Wipe Dalvik cache. However, this is up to you. It is your wish whether you want to wipe dalvik or not.
3. You must install the theme from CWM.
4. That’s it. You are done.

Apple App Store updates cause iOS OS X apps to crash

Apple's servers appear to have pushed out corrupted binaries over the last few days according to Instapaper developer Marco Arment. The issue has caused OS X and iOS users to experience app crashes as a result of updating to new versions containing the corrupted binaries available from the iOS App Store and the Mac App Store.

Arment discovered the problem on Tuesday evening after pushing an update for his Instapaper app to Apple's App Store. "I was deluged by support e-mail and Twitter messages from customers saying that it crashed immediately on launch, even with a clean install," he wrote on his blog. The problem appears to have been caused by Apple's addition of FairPlay DRM when updated binaries are submitted to the company's servers for distribution.

Specifically, an error encoding the DRM to the uploaded binary causes those downloading them to experience crashes as soon as the app is started. Error logs point to a failure within "AppleFairplayTextCrypterSession::fairplayOpen()" -- the first step required to run any app downloaded from either of Apple's app stores.

It doesn't appear to be affecting all regions according to the developer, although it's currently unclear exactly which regions are or aren't having issues, or precisely how many apps are affected. So far, Apple appears to be fixing apps on a case-by-case basis right now as Arment's app is no longer crashing.

Developers that have submitted updates to their apps between July 3 and 5 may still be affected by the problem. "I'll repeat my warning to developers: if you can help it, do not release app updates today," Arment said viaTwitter. "The corruption is widespread and ongoing."

The unfortunate situation has resulted in users assuming developers are to blame for the crashes of newly updated apps, leading to a rise in negative comments from consumers unaware of the situation. Those that are affected can restore the apps by removing it and then downloading a working version, once Apple has resolved the problem.

Apple is yet to announce when it would be resolved and did not respond to requests for further comment.

Apple's 12 Days of Christmas giveaway underway in Canada and Europe

Apple has started their 12 Days of Christmas promotion that runs from December 26 until January 6 in Canada and select parts of Europe. The app will provide users with free music, movies, books and applications each day until the promo expires.

To get things started, users are able to download a free Coldplay album that features three tunes from the band's iTunes Festival: London performance earlier this year. The tracks include Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, God Put a Smile Upon Your Face and Fix You. Accompanying the free songs are videos of each live performance, according toPocket Lint.

The fourth annual event is designed to promote the iTunes and App store, specifically targeted towards users who might have received a new iOS device for the holidays. The free service gives customers an opportunity to familiarize themselves with Apple’s purchasing model. Existing users are welcomed as well as a way for the company to thank them for their continued support.

Attempts to download from the US were unsuccessful in my testing as I was greeted with a message that said the item I requested isn’t available in the US store, but is available in the Finnish store. I tried switching stores as per the suggestion but again had no luck.

Since each offering is only available for 24 hours, Apple is allowing customers to sign up for email reminders so they don’t forget to check in each day. You can visit the iTunes Preview page to see if the app is available in your area.
