It depends on what Home Ui you are using. I think all the launcher has panel selection option where you can choose how many of them you want. Select as per your convince.

the theme is said to be working only on some roms....see this...

hit the thanks button if i have helped you...

Boy,
You not need any application for it. Just press switch on/Off button for bin longer. There you can see reboot. Boot into recovery must be there. If reboot in recovery is not there then down load terminal emulator along with attached zip file. Extract zip in SD root. Install terminal emulator. And write following commands..
SU (press Enter) allow super user.
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak(press Enter)
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img(press Enter)
reboot recovery(press Enter)
Boot custom recovery from powered off is vol_down + home + power
After this you can easily boot into custom recovery. And flash whatever you want. But make sure those are compatible e with your device.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because people do not have respect for the work of other people or to the point of thanking all the links to the alternatives are "down" until further notice. Over 200 downloads and not a thank you?!
Thanks.
After receiving several PM `s trying to get my help in the installation of Froyo ROM` s i decided to create this little "How to" for the avoidance of doubt.
This is a guide based on the Windows XP System.
This guide is ONLY for Xperia X10.
This guide was based on information gathered and based on my own experience and presents, in my opinion, the best way to get what you want. Whenever possible I will present alternatives.
This guide has a starting point of the original ROM SE (no root) if you already have root access please go to step 2.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
What you`ll need before proceeding:
- Download SDK from google (need help for this? go HERE)
- Make sure you`ve just one partition on your sdcard and on FAT32. More info HERE
- Before each and every step make sure you have USB Debugging checked (settings>applications>Development)
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG
1. Getting Root Access
1st mode
- Download file rootme.tar.bz2 HERE and follow the instructions or use as an alternative SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse;
- Reboot.
2nd mode
You can alternatively use THIS pre-rooted and with xRecovery allready instaled rom. Saying this, if you choose to install this rom can proceed to step 3
Use THIS tool if you have any trouble with Bin4ry one.
Bin4ry realease a new tool you can try it HERE.
2. Installing xRecovery
1st mode
- Download xRecovery HERE and do the installation by following the instructions.
2nd mode
For the case of having problems installing the xRecovery do the following:
- Download THIS version of xRecovery;
- unzip it and copy the content (3 files) to the root of your sdcard;
- Open cmd prompt (start>run and type cmd) - From now on i will call this adb shell. I also recomend that you create a shortcut to this on your desktop, since you will use this many times;
- Now go to tools folder where you install your SDK. In my case (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>);
Now type:
HTML:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
dd if=/sdcard/chargemon of=/system/bin/chargemon
dd if=/sdcard/xrecovery.tar of=/system/bin/xrecovery.tar
reboot
Check your screen and give permition
- Reboot
- Press several times after "sonyericsson" appear on back button to confirm if xRecovery it`s installed. If it`s corrected installed you wil see your screen as the images bellow.
Although this guide is described for the installation of zhizu rom`s the process is exactly identical to the TripNRaVeRs and jerpelea rom`s
3. Installing Rom`s
This guide is for every rom that supports xRecovery process. I will not answer questions from other method.
- Choose the rom you want.
ZHIZU / TripNRaVers v2.1 / TripNRaVers vMIUI / jerpelea
3.1.
zhizu rom:
- Download-FreeX10 beta1.zip;
- Download gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip;
- Download FreeX10-beta1-hotfix4a.zip (at this point this is the last version, if a newer version exist please download that one. The process is identical);
- Create a folder at the root of the sdcard named ROMS;
- Create a folder inside ROMS called zhizu, TripNRaVers or jerpelea (dependind witch rom you`ll use);
- Copy the downloaded files to that folder;
- Reboot;
- Enter on xRecovery and:
3.1.1.
- Install custom zip;
- Choose custom zip from sdcard;
- ROMS (folder you created earlier);
- zhizu;
- Run the FreeX10-beta1.zip;
- Run the FreeX10-beta1-hotfix4a.zip;
- Reboot;
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
NOTES:
After that, probably you won`t have network and screen is crazy... do this:
Open adb shel again and type:
HTML:
adb shell
killall servicemanager
Your phone will reboot.
HAVE REAL ISSUES REGARDING "killall: not found"? type this instead (thks to NeoInc):
HTML:
adb shell
busybox killall servicemanager
If you`ve installed the TripNRaVers rom and if you have issues with wireless run this command on adb shell (thks to rodak ):
HTML:
adb shell
setprop net.dns1 192.168.1.1
If you having problems with su permission type (thks to AzureNightwalker ):
HTML:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
(back on topic)
- After reboot enter on xRecovery again and go where you put your files again but this time you will run the gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip
- DONNE
If after instaling gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip you still don`t have google apps, please install THIS and then gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip
4.
If you want to install new market, please do this:
- Enter AT LEAST once in the old one;
- Copy THIS to the folder you`ve created earlier and run it from xRecovery.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
CREDITS:

All the credit should be directed to them. Not for me. Just tried with this guide to help young (or not) to get phones rooted, install xRecovery and for installation of these incredible ROM `s.

|tips & tweaks|
some commands that you may require at some point
Copy to/from sdcard
HTML:
adb push /mnt/sdcard/<filename> - to copy the file to SD
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/<filename> - to copy the file from SD
Fix Facebook Sync (at the present TripNRaVeRs Rom may need it)
Please make back up first
Install to your Android using push command
HTML:
adb push ContactsProvider.apk /system/app/ContactsProvider.apk
adb reboot
Download ContactsProvider from HERE (thks XperiaX10iUser )
This will fix the Facebook sync, you might need to remove and add the Facebook account again.
If you loose root access for some reason, please open ADB shell and issue this command:

some tips & tweaks to play with
Let`s play with build.prop shall we?
CAUTION WITH THIS!!! ALL CHANGES MUST BE DONNE AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENT!!!
What will you get with this...
Well. In my opinion and only that, i think this way i can preform a much stable version of 2.2 Froyo released by zhizu.
After all apps installed (more or less 35) i get a very stable and fast rom (more or less 1500 on quadrant) and rarely had a FC.
So...like i said...that`s my 2cents.
1st mode - root explorer
You can make changes directly through RE by going on \system and then:
- Press and hold on build.prop file;
- Check all Permitions on the drop down menu;
- Press and hold on build.prop file (again);
- Choose open in text editor;
- After changes were made save and exit;
- Reboot.
2nd mode - Through Text Editor
To edit this one you must do this on a UNIX system base. You can use THIS to do that.
- Copy your build.prop to your sdcard and then to your pc;
- Open build.prop through NOTEPAD++;
- Now check all permitions for build.prop in \system folder
- After you made the changes proceed in reverse way and check all permitions again;
- Reboot.
This is your build.prop of your phone. Here we can do some tweaks in it.
Look carefully some already exist somo you have to add.
ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX (here you can put any value between 180/240) - This will affect the way you see your screen;
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=XXX - This is how often your phone search for wi-fi spots and obviously will afect your battery life. Choose whatever you want in seconds. For instance, i have 360. Witch means my phone will search for wi-fi every 360 seconds.
dalvik.vm.heapsize=XXX (here you can put any value between 12/40) - This is how Android lead with apps. Lower value faster phone but big apps will crash. Higher value slower phone on small apps but faster on big ones). I have this to 40.
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=XXX (here you can put any value between 30/300) - This affect screen responseness of screen. You may try this if you have any problems with lag. I have this to 200.
mot.proximity.delay=XXX (here you can put any value between 0/300) - This will affect the time your screen goes off when receive a call. I have this to 150.
--------------------------------------------

THIS ONLY WORK AFTER RIGHT INSTALATION OF THE ABOVE ROM´s

Hmm. Sorry. Got a question here.
Step 1 and 1a, is it the same? Or i need to do step 1 and then do step 1a?
And partition on my sdcard is already on Fat32, do I need to reformat it again to Fat32?

Hi,
1st. Like i said "alternatively". 1 is one way and 1a is another way. The diference between the two is the fisrt one you have to root after install and the second one came pre-rooted.
2nd. Since you`ve sdcard on FAT32 don`t have to do it again. Just be sure there`s ONLY ONE partition.
Hope it helps
Oh. sorry. I miss the "alternatively".
Which one is the best? 1 or 1a?

depends on what you want. root or not rooted.
for the installation of above Rom `s you need to have root access.
Oh, ok. Thank you. I go download the files and try it first.

lol luckly i live in singapore
first of all, lets start with custom recovery
1. Download the custom recovery file from here and here
2. DO NOT rename them, and put them neatly inside the ROOT of the SD CARD (that means it should be at /sdcard/ on androids
3. next, get Terminal Emulator from the market. search it.
4. Get a nice keyboard to work on for a while. you need to type A LOT
5. get titanium backup and backup everything. menu > batch
6. reboot phone.
7. Turn on phone and go to terminal and type the following
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*there should be no error except at stage 5 there could be, but not always.
8. good. flash complete. now grab the megatron ROM and the lagfix. they both should be .zip . DONT OPEN IT.
9 put the two inside the root of SD card
10. go to terminal, write
su
*press enter*
reboot recovery
11. you should have a menu of things. go to flash zip or sth (you will know) w/ ur volume buttons
12. press menu and you will be able to choose the two zips. flash any of them first, and do the second afterwords.
13. YAY DONE
14. no need for bucks thanks. just press the thanks button down there. its free.
*PM or EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT FURTHER HELP*

Also, isnt 2.2.2 not rootable??
I think it has to be downgraded to 2.2 and then rooted..
Edit:
Sorry, My mistake.. Didnt realize 2.2.2 is rootable now..
2.2.2 it's now rootable
It says that "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh ": No such file or directory.
I'm sure that I placed both of the files on the root of my sdcard
Well, I guess the hardest part is getting the recovery. Well I share my method so, here we go.
What you need:
1. terminal emulator(download from market - free)
2. recovery installer(download here)
3. your ROM which is megatron(download here)
4. Touch-screen bug fix(download here)
5. Back-up all your SD contents to your PC.
-. optional: if your file explorer doesn't support unrar/unzipping, download one. but since you have a PC just use winrar.
when you have everything, lets start.
1. extract contents of "recovey_installer.rar" to the root(meaning the base) of your SDcard.(it contains 3 files, so you should also see 3 new files on your SD card).
2. open terminal emulator, enter these lines(press enter after each line):
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
just wait and this should reboot you directly to recovery.
3. now in recovery(remember: "vol + and - button" is "up and down" "menu button is ok/select" and "back button" is back) select options:
Partition sdcard > partition SD
4. when asked choose your desired partition size then choose swap size as 0. This should format your SD card.(initially this will leave you with an ext2 partition, if you want ext3 then upgrade it to ext3 and so on using the same menu)
5. when done, press back repeatedly and reboot.
6. now, move your ROM(megatron) and the touchscreen-lag-fix files to the root of your SD card.
7. open terminal again and enter these commands
Code:
su
reboot recovery
just wait and it should bring you back to recovery.
8. in recovery, choose option:
- flash zip menu
- to avoid hiccups just toggle the signature verification
- flash zip from sdcard
- first flash your rom(megatron), when done immediately flash touchscreen-bug-fix
- press back repeatedly then reboot.
9. enjoy

just ignore that error message. this line is only there for those with different phone models which has the mention file in the phone internal storage. so this shouldn't affect optimus one users.
@ungaze, i did your way . It took me to android system recovery .
Anyway it didnt ask me for partition sdcard. So should i just reboot my phone?
congratulations, you now have recovery. you should see some options.
press volume buttons to navigate up and down(menu button=select/ok). Choose the option:
- Partition sdcard
- Partition SD
If you want to explore your phone a bit more, you could just reboot your phone for now. Just remember, to go back to recovery you could open terminal and enter:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
or when phone is off, press and hold "power/lock button"+"home button"+"vol down button" until recovery menu shows up.
Alright , did that . My friend told me about nandroid how can i do that before i flash the other roms ?
theres a menu option "backup/restore" open it and choose "nand backup". when done, there should be a folder in your SD named "nand" copy the contents to a pc or somewhere safe as this will serve as your backup file.
Okay, i did a nandroid and ready to flash roms . Wish me well =)
Anyway why do i receive E:Bad boot message when i reboot recovery.
everyone has it. it's perfectly fine. good luck
Anyway, as I was nandroid-ing i saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5GWgjJT2zo in the end, it shows the guy having no reception?
edit: He didnt have it on at the first place anyway. Sorry for the inconvenience.
i didnt view the link but im guessing hes using amon_ra v1.1, the method i gave you installs amon_ra v1.2 which fixes most bugs with ext4 and nand recovery/backup
By toggl-ing signature verification do you mean to enable or disable it?
disable. this is really not necessary as the zips youre about to apply are surely signed. but in case you have problems in the future, just remember that disabling sig veryfication may fix the problem.

First install JDK and JRE from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html (choose your appropriate os)
ANDROID SDK LINK:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (LATEST VERSION r10)

Click next
Now it wont show next option to proceed just hit back once and click next again (you will be able to proceed with installation now)
Run android sdk manager(note :Run as Administrator orelse it wont download the packages) it will show various packages available just click cancel.
Click on available packages-android repository-uncheck SDK PLATFORM ANDROID ALL VERSION EXCEPT 2.2(U CAN LATER INSTALL THE VERSION U REQUIRE LATER WHEN U NEED IT)

Thank you. But I already have CM7 working now. But thanks anyway for offering to help.
To install custom roms just follow my step-by-step to install:
1st - download and run it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136 - to root and install xrec on your phone.
2nd - download your rom
3rd - make a backup using xrec
4th - choose install custom zip and select zip from sd card
5th - wait
6th - reboot
7th - configure
8th - Thats ready to ROCK with custom roms!!!
I hope you understand it all, and if you have questions just PM me or simply ask here
With this .exe I finally managed to get SuperOneClick to run through properly but now I don't know how to get to xrecovery.
To boot in xrecovery I thought you had to press and hold the back button mutiple times when the white sony ericsson logo appears. I do this and my phone just starts up normally. Advice please?
Sometimes xrec screws up, I would usually copy them files manually to the /system/bin folder using terminal using these steps;
unpack the zip to your sdcard,
type the following ;
You may need busybox from the market to be abled to perform these tasks, if your'e abled to without, its your luck
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
allows you to copy to the system folder.
cp /sdcard/xrecovery.tar /system/bin
cp /sdcard/chargemon /system/bin
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin
copies the files to its execution path.
afterwards set the premissions to the files so it may run under boot;
chmod 677 /system/bin/xrecovery.tar
chmod 677 /system/bin/chargemon
chmod 677 /system/bin/busybox
I came up to no booting too, manually fixed it this way helped (you may also wanna set premissions to 777, although its mainly NOT recommenced)
Reboot and try to load it up again
p.s; since im running CWM now, you might wanna check for case sensetive letters in the filenames!
Good luck.
Ok I have installed Froyobread ROM and got it working. All was fine until I was installing Launcher Pro Plus from the market and it froze for 10 minutes. I pulled out the battery, put it back in and turned the phone back on. Now all that happens is CWM opens up, I can't get it to boot the ROM.
thnx 4 that but can u tell me how to apply a hotfix? do i use cwm update..clueless i kno..but we all gota start somewere..
To apply a hotfix install normally from CWM...

Bro, you forgot to add the line - wipe data/cache to the step. it is a must after flashing a custom rom.
Thanks!
EDIT: better you tell people to follow CWM from now on, that is much better than xrec. i like cwm very much

seriously, that post was almost a year ago, was that really necessary?
certo, mas...
que dizer daqueles que adquiriram seu aparelho recentemente e estão com stock rom, root, bootloader intacta? É muitos perguntam na inocência não para perturbar os desenvolvedores.
The thing wont recognize my phone and wont show the options to do xrecovery or any of the other options except for Flash...please help im desperate for a rom
You need to root first.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
Then in flashtool click 'ask root permissions' and have your phone unlocked and accept superuser permissions w/the prompt on your phone. Then you're good to go.
*edit- make sure it is the fixed xrec for 2.3.3. I use a Rom w xrec included so I didn't have to install it & I dont remember if that's the one in flashtool now.
Which firmware version are you on?
I have done that already...i am rooted because I have superuser on my phone. Where do I check firmware?

these commands still the same you just need to change (eventually) to the right path.
check the zip structure to see that
HTML:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
dd if=/sdcard/chargemon of=/system/bin/chargemon
dd if=/sdcard/xrecovery.tar of=/system/bin/xrecovery.tar
reboot
chargemon to \system\bin
charger to \system\bin
sh to \system\xbin
xrecovery.tar to \system\xbin
i dont see any busybox file or anything like that...please help i dun think busybox has been installed...

Just start all over with flashtool it will work then.
Go to settings then applications, then development, check debug mode.
Start flash tool on your pc and connect the phone
IF the phone is rooted, it should be recognized by flash tool
On flash tool click ask root perm, look at your phone screen, superuser should pop up asking if to give permission, simply choose allow.
Then click recovery on flash tool and wait a sec....
should pop up asking which gingerbread version to use. choose 0.3GB, since its gb version you have.
when you're ready to use xrecovery, restart the phone
as soon as the phone comes on and the first sony ericsson name comes up, keep pressing the back button, xrecovery will come up.
i did both kernel things...but the thing is it won't recognize my device as a rooted device...i have superuser and I have used apps that require root...so i guess the problem is well idk...and thats what i need help with sorting out.
1. Install busybox from market (xrec needs busybox)
2. Give root explorer root acces and mount /system writeable (look in settings of your file explorer)
3. Copy files to right place:
chargemon to /system/bin
charger to /system/bin
sh to /system/xbin
xrecovery.tar to /system/xbin
4. Give above files the right permissions (long touch on file and choose property option):
user > read, write, execute
other > read, execute
group > read, execute
