pro/cons anyone?
How about other...
dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk

xrecovery is the best (or it's just me being lazy),
and the weird thing is that i see no cons!

if you need just the framework-res.apk, i will go for the root explorer method, although if you are not paying attention, you have a high risk of not setting correct permission.
xRecovery method will apply the whole 'system' folder from the update.zip (in case you are doing advanced restore), which, in case the update.zip is missing JIT, app2sd, and reboot option, you will need to reinstall them again.
There's no way we can install framework-res.apk via xrecovery? As to make it more safe and avoid bricking again and again..

Not true.
When making an update.zip you can flash from a single lib file, to a whole directory.
No need to apply to the whole system folder.

make an update.zip with only the folder /system/framework/
and then only framework-res.apk
done you'll install a framework with xrecovery

Hey guys so I haven't been following much lately due to exams. But I just found out Recovery was released for X10 and want to install it.
So I just wanted to know how I could safely remove 2.2 from my phone. I remember some guy deleting the folder off his sdcard and wrecking his phone. How do I avoid it?

Just do a clean install of whichever ROM you want using flash tool then install recovery mode onto that.

what u need to do mate is fairly simple. you need to delete a file and a folder.
boot into 2.1, open root explorer and make sure you are in R/W mode.
delete the chargemon file from /system/bin and delete the /sdcard/freeX10 folder
the freex10 folder contains all the data files for the 2.2 rom
the chargemon file contains the boot hijack that allows you to multi-boot. without this file (if you delete it all together like i am suggesting) the phone will simply boot into 2.1
once you have booted back into 2.1, you can setup the recovery menu
hope that helps mate, and thanks for not posting in the Dev thread!!!

Thank you so much, that worked like a charm.
Also LOL @ the dev thread comment. I am not really that retardo.
Hi all devs and xda people, since i cannot post on the dev forum i have to ask here...
[Q]: How Do i Install the New CWM without having xrecovery installed?
I just cleaned my phone by flashing it with SEUS, wich i normally do before i'm about to install a new rom, i just rooted my phone and installed the newest version of Root Explorer from market. Also have downloaded the CWM zip provided from the first post by D4rKn3sSyS at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146
However, that zip contains two folders, not any single files that you just copied over to /system/bin like you did with xrecovery. so what am i suppsoed to do? wich files, where and what permission should they have?
CWM can be installed only manually using Root Explorer.
Extract files from bin folder in the zip and copy to respective folder with correct permissions (755).
It is missing one file (bin/charge) that can be found on xrecovery.zip file.
Another way is to install xRecovery Mini Pro .apk Unified Installer and after that use cwr_xrecinstall!

Could you tell me exactly what file that is missing? the xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1beta contains three files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar
I could assume that its the busyboxfile that is missing, but i really dont want to chance and take a risk.

I believe it is missing bin/charger
i asked in few threads but seems people are not willing to answer this question, and in threads with roms whom includes custom themes, do not have instructions how to install. So how to do that?

Always search first post of specific thread for answers you will find your answer, or at least search your question before posting
you are not specific to your question
Q.1 Which Firmware are you using
Q.2 Is it Rooted
Q.3 what kind of theme is that (a CWM Flashable, xRecovery Flashable or Manual)
If you are using stock firmware then you will have to root, then you find a compatible theme and apply it according to the method provided by the theme maker
same applies to Custom ROM but they are already rooted and you might already have a recovery software installed
e.g
if its flashable by xRecovery you can go to xRecovery and flash it
if its flashable by CWM you can go to CWM and flash it
if you don't want to flash it go to Root Explorer copy that Framework-res.apk and replace it in system/framework directory and change permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot your device
and above all Backup your device before doing these because first time you might do it wrong and stuck up in boot loop
im using cm mini 7 v20 for rooted mini pro, i dont know if themes are flashable or not, they dont write that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217611
not everyone are captain obvious to know what type they are
thanks for responding!

its a Flashable zip, can be done via CWM
or you can manually copy & Replace those apks to their respective destination after extracting
and change permission to rw-r--r--
but be sure to backup first

so you want to do it manually.
first i must tell you as it is for older miniCM version it might cause problems
First extract your zip in SD card
copy apks from framework and apps folders
mount /system to rw and paste them to system folder
change permission of each apk to rw-r--r-- by press-holding and clicking permission in root explorer
make sure all apks have permission of rw-r--r--
move and replace framework-res.apk from /system to /system/farmework/
move and replace all other apks from /system to /system/apps/
Reboot
Thats it; if you done it correctly then it will go fine
or you can try themes from here by installing apks Here
The apks can be extracted and installed directly, no copying and setting permissions needed. However the core framework of cm7 must have changed since these were made as they don't render properly on newer cm7 based roms
I may have edited something wrong in build.prop and now my phone won't load after the SONY logo. I would push a stock build.prop if I had CWM but apparently I lost that after following steps to root JB with locked bootloader. All I have now is fastboot and flash mode.
Is there any way to push a file and set permissions using one of these modes? I can reflash ICS and do everything all over again but if I could just push a stock build.prop I think I can avoid the long way.
PS. Can I also get help putting CWM on this phone? I wanna keep bootlock 'coz I'm a purist like that. Lol! :silly:
do any of these modes support mounting \system and \data ??

No, but fastboot can flash an update.zip according to a wiki. I don't think that's the same as a regular flashable zip is it?
Bump 'coz it's really getting tiring to reflash from zero when just one file needs editing.

Have you managed to solve this?

I ended up with reflashing only SYSTEM partition via Flashtool (don't forget to uncheck "Wipe DATA"). You are going to loose any modification of "/system" (e.g. root) but at least you won't loose your settings, apps and data.
Hi everyone,
I want to eventually create an edited ROM for an Android tablet. (Very simple stuff, really. Removing apks, adding build.prop mods)
I have a working update.zip file, which re-installs the image on the tablet, through stock recovery and the install from sdcard option.
But once I unzip it,
and then zip and even re-sign it (with the tool I found by searching the forum),
the recovery says 'installation aborted', when it is verifying the package.
1. How can I avoid this from happening? I get it that closing the update.zip is done wrong. How can I pass the verification section?
2. It IS possible to push such a .zip through stock recovery, right? I want to avoid CWM and TWRP and make it as simple as possible.
Thanks.
Have you tried making the changes without the unzip-rezip step? Editing the zip contents directly inside the zip (just drag n drop, delete, etc).

I tried this, too.
I only deleted one apk from system/app and later I tried again by deleting the apk and its odex file, too.
In both cases, instead of rejecting the update instanlty, it starts the process and then stops after a few seconds.
IS it possible that there is a filesize checker text inside the image?
(or maybe a propery inside the build.prop or updater-script ?)
Any ideas, anyone?
Still no progress.
I am trying to avoid custom recovery,
(I guess that would involve re-compiling it - which I do not know how to do - or ... just asking so from someone?)

No
Stock recovery doesn't flash custom roms
Get cwm from builder.recovery.com
Press thanks :good: I'd helped :highfive:
