Please, I need help.
I'm using the Wolf Rom, and everything is going fine, but I want to install the Wallpapers and the keyboard files, I can install the widget file in exrec. but the other two dont work.
Please, how can I install these two files?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16580350&postcount=6114
What version are you on?
Is the problem in xrec (can't install them) or that you can't start the apps?
I'm using the 3.5 version with 3.8.0 update.
I have the widgets extras instaled, and working, via xrec and I tried to install keyboard and wallpapers, the same way, but when I´m going to change the wallpapers,for example, they dont appear. The same thing occurs with the keyboard addon.
In xrec, apparently, they have been installed.
Are you installing from a xrec backup?
OMG, I don't know the diference. The exrec is the version from flashtool 2.8. The files are those from Wolf's Rom thread.
Is this you want to know???

I must admit, I am a complete noob when it comes both to linux, android and smartphones. I know a great deal about computers, but only recently bought the X10 mini pro, since it wasn't that expensive and I wanted a qwerty-keyboard.
Anyway, the reason I have decided to install a custom rom is mainly the fact that SE have confirmed that they will not give X10 mini/mini pro Froyo, so therefore I now understand I have to start using custom roms.
The current wishes I have for installing a custom 2.1 rom is the following:
-Apps2SD
-Multitouch
-Change themes
I have currently decided to go for the iridium rom. Is that a good decition? I've read lots about "JiT" but I don't exactly know what it is. For example, can I install JIT, then install a custom rom (such as iridium) and JIT will still be "installed" and working?
Many of the tutorials here are great, in the way that it makes noobs like me able to actually install custom roms, however, the tutorials are alot like:
STEP 1) Pick a ftl/i20x model and install with flash tool.
STEP 2) Use one of the following builds: 2.1.A.x353.3531.43 (I'm like... WTF IS FTL?! WHAT BUILD SHOULD I CHOOSE?? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!?!? :/) lol,

i would say try till you find one you like. just because you like the looks of the iridium rom you should try them all before you make your descion. also experiment a bit since that does not hurt to try.
Well whats holding me back is the simple fact I can't get xrecovery working. I made another post for that tho, anyone of you want to try and assisst me?

I start right after I feel the vibration (a little b4 the sony ericsson logo appears)
And remember that it is the first logo that they're talking about! The one woth only text! ;D

Trust me.. When I say I have tried for hours getting xrecovery to work, that includes rebooting 20-30 times, each time pressing the back-button from vibration and probably like 3 times per second, until phone is fully booted. No results. Is there no other way to check if xrecovery actually IS installed?
Ok, I've seen some problems with the placing of the three files...
Where have U placed dem?
You need to COPY them from sdcard til SYSTEM, Then MOVE to system/bin.
That step is very important to make it work.. if you've just copied them from sdcard til system/bin , that could be the problem.. ?

EDIT: Good Luck C:
I did nothing of the sort, i just used bin4rys 'all in one' tool from PC to install xrecovery, then also the xrecoveery-fix.apk i think also bin4rys production. It said it installs xrec

Thanks alot!
But now the strangest thing happened... after my phone crashed and I repaired it, I log into market with my google account, and all applications (such as "Root Explorer") that I've paid for in the past, won't get downloaded. It just starts download but nothing happens, download freezes at: "downloading".
Any ideas what's causing this?
JiT is enabled as part of installing Iridium ROM.
Alright, I did a factory reset to fix the problem. With market. Followed indtructions precisely, three times now...xrecovery never starts up.
Anything else I need to configure? I notice that when i reboot, go /system/bin the xrecovery.tar file is gone.
EDIT: No it is still there, with the same permissions.
It doesn't seem like anyone else have any issues running xrecovery, so I don't get it!!

When I try to install xrecovery with the aapk-installer, the three icons just turn red. Judging from others who had this happen, it was due to an outdated busybox version.
Anyway, I ran Titanium Backup to update busybox, but that only got me 1.15. How can i get 1.18? It is not on the market

I dont think it is due to busy box version. i have busy box 1.15.3, and i have x recovery and custom rom CM 6.3.2.1 installed.
Are you moving the file and then copying them to them to the system folder? and is the root explorer in rw.
Thread which i followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426
peace.
I move files to /system/. Change permittion. Copy to /system/bin/. Reboot. Hammer back button, nothing.
The unified xrecovery-apk installer gives a clue I think, cause the install fails. I just wantt to find out why. I am rooted. I do mount r/w..
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
You need to copy them THEN move them, from your post above you are moving them then copying. Its important to do it the right way round.
Now I copied them to /system/. Change permittions. MOVE them to /system/bin/. Still no luck.
I am confused about all the talk about Busybox version, instructions about "DO NOT UPDATE BUSYBOX ONCE YOU'VE INSTALLED XRECOVERY!!" etc. but if I had done that wrong, xrecovery should just cause the phone to freeze at the SE-logo, right?
Atm, nothing at all happens at the SE-logo.
I think I'm going to use SEUS to wipe it all clean again, then just root it with superoneclick from PC, download Root Explorer, and try this again. My build atm is: 2.1.1.A.0.6 btw.
Thank you all so much for the help! I got it working now Had to go back to factory settings, then just root with superoneclick (NOT try to install xrecovery) then I installed xrecovery manually, after installing busybox through Titanium Backup.
Haha, now the only issue is that I can't find the flashtool from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664 I made afew posts here and there asking if someone could re-upload or post a mirror two days ago, but no replies. Does anyone have the GUI-version of flashtool?
EDIT: Nevermind. An angel uploaded a mirror of that too! =) Thanks everyone, now I will try my luck with the iridum rom!
hello,
yesterday i installed wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V054 and really liked the look of it, then i installed a certain zip (not sure which one it was from the wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V054 thread, but it changed the dialer to the arc style and got rid of the colour icons in the setup menu etc) and dont like the look of it, is there a way i can uninstall the zip or do i have to flash the whole rom again and start from scratch? i installed all of the extras zips on the wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V054 thread page, so if someone could tell me the name of the zip that changed the look and feel then that would be great!
i would also like to know if there is a way to either change the clear background to white on the blue version of the market, or just revert to the normal green version? the blue version was also installed with a zip file in xrecovery.
thanks in advance,
woopypants
Well first of all if you don't know which zip file and where it is located, unfortunately you have to factory reset, wipe cache partion, wipe dalvik cache and battery status. Then install the Rom then the update and other zip files all from scratch but this won't take long.
Secondly if you don't like the blue market just flash new market and not the new blut transparent one.
Hope this helped
thanks for your reply, i the location of the zip file (its just on the sd card) and am pretty sure i know which zip file i want to 'unzip' so basically i just need to know if its possible to get rid of a certain file (as in unzip it, if there even is such a thing).
thanks for the tip on the market too
actually i realise know which file it must have been- "arc icon and ui.zip". just for future reference i would like to know if there is a way of unzipping a file, or should i just do a backup everytime before i uninstall a zip, so that if i dont like it then i have something to revert back to instead of having to reinstall the rom everytime.
By default, the dialer for wolf's rom has always been the arc dialer...so if you want to get rid of it, the best thing to do would be to flash over a theme like matted blues.
well you can install themes to cover them if you don't like them
eg. X HC theme by SEMPITERNAL

Since I saw some AMAZING themes but I was unable to install'em, I wanna ask if somebony is able to link some themes which are compactable with Khalpower's V4 GalaxtXT ROM, couse I tryed like 20-25 themes and from all only DarkFroyo V2 and 1 more works.
Thanks alot!
The Honeycomb-theme works fine on V4 (except that you need to replace the keyboard with some keyboard from the Market, but that's the only bug there is).

Kahl has this one posted somewhere in one of his threads. It replaces the stock LatinIME.apk & works fine. Just copy the zip to openrecovery/updates boot into Open Recovery, appy the update, wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partitions & reboot.

When i try to apply the galaxyxtv4 theme update, it does not work! i still have the red theme and i dont know what to do anymore. Isnt that how one apply a theme? am i missing something?
I believe others had issues with that update too. If you're running the PersonaRedv4 I think you can just restore the system partition from KP full GalaxyXTv4 (nandroid restore) & wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partition & reboot.
I was wondering... if I install propper theme which works woth this rom but replace apps from other theme (and apps are more - 6 in compactable theme and about 20 in that one that I will replace with), so will it work as it works with bootanimation, couse if I keep the working theme but put difetent bootanimation it still works.
I'd give a guarded yes. If the filenames of the apps you want to replace match EXACTLY (e.g. maps.apk is not the same as Maps.apk) then they will be overwritten. If they don't match your best bet is probably to remove the apps you want to replace before installing the new ones. You will be limited as to the size of the system partition so adding files as system apps could be problematic but replacing one modded app with another should generally be OK. Another thing to note is (I think) not all apps can be installed as system apps. Note that it is always a good idea to do a nandroid backup before you try making the changes so (when) things go wrong (and they will ) you can get back to a functioning device as painlessly as possible.
Hi guys.
I'm looking for a working Gingerbread Theme for the V4XT rom.
Could you please help me?
Thanx in advance.
I was wondering if this one coud work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9784619&postcount=13
I was previously used it on my original 2.1 Rom and it was absolutely perfect.
I have today tried to install many themes with the new khalpower v4.
Result was the follwing: I was able to get a decent outcome. Keyboard bug could be fixed but after a couple of theme flashes things started to get weired. First my gmail app stopped working.
After that I only got jibberish as fonts so that I was unable to change languages or anything else for that matter.
I'd very much appreciate ports for the new v4. Right now I'm using the fix described above. Thanks so much! Worked like a charm
Hello,
Could someone post apk file of most stock launcher of X8. I mean the one which drawer icon is an arrow pointing up and when you press menu kes (leftmost one) vertical, iPhone like menu appears.
Thanks in advande
Flash stock rom, root and use root explorer to get it from system apps
It won't work so don't bother.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
I saw that Launcher on SROM (Android 2.2) but I'm not sure that it will work on GingerBread.
The problem is that I don't have a X8. If I have one then I won't be asking
I'm gonna try extracting an apk from the SROM.
Edit:
I got the "App is not installed" problem.
Edit 2:
When installing with adb it says "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES".
Bump, and...
I've succeed in installing the SROM's Launcher2.apk but I'm getting FC every single time I'm trying to run that Home Screen. Anyone know why?
You need to put semc permission files into system folder, try to flash those permissions via xrecovery. With them I've installed original se launcher on 2.3.7 x8, but it doesn't work properly. Also there are some screenshots from fde V2.2.2 (2.3.7android) with stock launcher
thanx
very nice application. Does it works wonder [ROM] LinuXperia ESCHA Arch V1 - V2 - V3 ?
Actually I'm trying to install it on a Samsung Galaxy Ace (CM7.1 with CWM recovery). I'm gonna try to install the premissions manually.
Ed. Files copied and replaced. Still FCs.
@romanalien Could you post a screnshoot of what happens after pressing the menu key?
As I said, the app doesn't work properly, when you're trying to press menu it FC's, I don't know why.
Damn it. It is actually only the menu in the launcher I want.
I bought Mini pro 2 weeks ago. After trying to flash all the kernel, custom rom in Development box. In my opinion :
1) Kernel:
- All KRSH, Boof, Rage ... are fine. Who care CPU overclock should flash KRSH but I don't know why KRSH without wifi module and anoying to add wlan module after flash.
- Boof: is fine with .62 FW, CWM still version 4 but enough for everyone who just need root and CWM.
btw, all kernel to use volume back but boof use power button to enter CWM.
- Kernel build in CM7: work fine, but why don't use the unique Kernel for all CM version ?
2) Custom Rom
Still now, I can not say there is a good custom rom for me.
- Hybrom v11: boot loop right away at the first time install. with all kernel, I tried.
- CM9: many errors, people already noticed.
- CM7.x: simple, fast but without google app (market, maps, email...) I tried all the market apk but can not work, stop when add account then exit.
it's seem like CM want everybody to forget android is not from Google.
Finally
All I need is simple rom with basic funtion, long beterry life. So I choose original stock and Titanium backup to uninstall stock app. Mini pro become faster and smooth.
SE give mini pro little batterry but many many game, syn, SE app combine in system. wft.
In future I intend to buy Xperia Ion or Xperia S, if stock rom like this, Im sure to optimize again.
How about you?
Hi, regarding cm7 rom, i tried 7.1.0.2 and it bootlooped (as noticed elsewhere, in development section i think), but 7.1.0.1 worked fine incl. gapps. Some problems with keyboard (no lights) and soft buttons (too bright backlight), but sorted out using some config tweaking.
Hi, for gapps incl I try this way:
extract CM 7.2..zip file, add Google app into system/app/ then zip again. I found that Android Market (veding.apk) need google service framework, patner, sync.. apk to run normal.
As u mentioned 7.1.0.2 boot loop, I met too.

Acording to wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide , you should install gapps (download zip from cyanogenmod dl page) using ClockWork Recovery, right after installing ROM. Worked just fine.
