Get livewallpaperpicker.apk and then install any live wallpaper from Play store and choose it the way you would change your wallpaper, pressing on live wallpaper.

Yeah... Opera is the best. But not mini. I use Full fledge Opera.
For file manager, I think nothing can beat Astro file manager.

I am using Opera...but just thinking if Firefox or Chrome are comparable to Opera (as Opera uses best compression method to load pages) :cool:

I don't know why the option is not there in One V, even in my Incredible S which has Gingerbread have an option to set live wallpapers.
And you can use ES file Explorer,its free and quite good.I use that only.

from the reviews they say some 3D effects are removed from One V which are there in One S & One X :-? due to low hardware to run them.

Both Chrome and Firefox have bugs and don't perform well on our ONE V. Opera is the best IMO. ES File explorer is the best.

I got a live wallpaper from the market and its awesome. Only problem is once you change to a static wallpaper, the only method to reapply the live wallpaper is to install it again. :-?

If you haven't rooted it, do it!! You will get many advanced features on apps like Mobile trackers. :mrgreen:

Also I wish the device had a hardware camera button

Beauty with performance... ICS in LWW lacks both in beauty and performance. They have put some ugly backgrounds for apps like dialer. I didn't like the camera pic quality in 2.3 and thought it will improve in 4.0 but Alas !! leave the camera pic quality, the ease of use is also gone. You can get to settings and gallery instantly like in 2.3. And where is the macro. Somebody tell me. I also read in intenet that camera flash doesn't synchronize.

Leave camera apart, why my 4Gb memory card is full after update. I only have a few songs in it. And what applications are running in background that is eating up my RAM. I close many but can't figure out who is eating my RAM.

No, battery is good.
Complete a few battery cycles. Put in some full charge and full discharge for optimal battery performance. Battery in my case runs well 1 and a half days both in 2.3 and 4.0. with average use, 3G data on most of the time, and occasional GRPS, Gaming and music.

^^ I am really confused with all your point you shared.. as it completely opposite views I heard and what android 4.0 offers..

first you did not liked themes ok it is personal choice.. but it can easily be changed will go launcher themes I guess..

many user said it is very easy to use. and about setting you can get to setting from notification bar.. I remember I saw video about that/./

well ICS has better application management in fact gb does not close background apps..and we have to use third party apps but ICS have it by default...

Even users said.. ram management is way better in ICS..

only thing I was skeptical about was will games run on it which has a requirement of high resources..

hey I am not a android user just bought android (sony LWW) for my bro so used it for couple of hours max... to set it up..

Settings and notification bar are great. easy to use.

Yes better app management. That's why I written I cant figure out what is eating my RAM. I think RAM management is between but u need higher amount of RAM. Just like Windows 7 have better resource management feature but Win7 eats about 300 MB RAM.

About theming with GoLauncher means again more RAM usage.

I mentioned camera, can't figure out the cause of low RAM.

Yes can you tell me where is the arrow mark on Google maps that shows us direction. Now in mine its replaces by a blue dot.

And I forgot to mention one thing that I posted n another thread. Okay pasting it here below.
--------------------------------------------------
Note : Though I have complained about Live with Walkman's performance in ICS, it is in comparison between Sony moded 2.3 and 4.0. Else its the best cheap ICS phone.

^^ Some points.

It's not like if you replace the current launcher by a new one, then it will consume more RAM. You are replacing it, not running it simultaneously.
Also, as far as the arrow being replaced by blue dot is concerned it can happen that it shows arrow when you move to show the direction in which you are moving. But if you are still, it will show your location with a dot. Or, the app just may have changed it.

In any case, it's not the fault of ICS. Apps gets updated.

Plus, low RAM is not of major concern in Android. RAM gets free automatically. And like you said, it could just be the requirement of ICS. But memory is managed automatically in Android, and you have do nothing in this regard.

no no not ICS fault. But the thing is it(maps) gets updated along with Sony ICS release update.

In LWW w/o root(which is not possible with the current firmware), is it possible to replace the launcher. Otherwise We have to use it similtaneously.

All Android phone come with Boot loader locked except Samsung.
You can officially unlock it via their site.

What about those mid-range Galaxies(like Ace)? They too have unlocked bootloader?

I do know HTC and Sony officially offer a separate software for unlocking those bootloaders but its always better to have it unlocked out-of-the-box! ;)
