Why would you want to do that, you can just restore the backup.
Dont forget the backup holds lots of personal info on it, so you dont want to share it....
Just curious as to why you would want to do this?
The data portion contains sensitive info right??? Not the system.img isn't it

I wanna make my own Rom and share it with ppl... I've added toggle panel to notification bar, changed animations in framework-res, changed icons in systemui, did some build.prop tweaks, some out-of-memory manager tweaks, took some apps from the arc s firmware, removed some preinstalled apps and added some apps to system partition itself (like browser replaced with opera, titanium backup included in system partition, applied adblocker...) and many other things.... I hope that qualifies me to call it my *own* ROM????

Oh ok,
You need to use sdk and pdk software to make your own roms, I am sure its much easier that way.
Just google them and download
PS, just themeing a custom rom doesnt make it your own, but developing from the stock rom in any way does, especially if it more than just the UI. Circular battery mod and other UI's are easily achieved in UOT, but changing OOM values and build.prop is different, as long as you know the benefits you are making
I've made changes to stock only. Not on anyone else's custom ROM. Yes did make some oom changing scripts. (umm.. Yep I guess I know what changes and what advantages. Lol) also removed some stock-ware added better alternatives like go sms n dialer in place of stock ones.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have the android sdk. I'll get the pdk... But what after that?? How to make the zip file of the ROM?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Just pull (with adb or root explorer) everything you changed then make a flashable zip of that. No need to post a whole rom, just call it a mod or theme...
Btw I'm not even a proper firmware-tinkerer.. Far from being a dev or anything. I'm just a humble 12th grade student. Still pretty much in my teens.. Lol
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ok that's a good idea now... Lemme see if I can pinpoint which files I need to pull and which I can do without.... But about the zip thing.... I never really understood the certificate thingy... That meta.inf and all... What is that about??? Basically how to create a flashable zip??
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Same here, I am not a dev, but I teach 12 grade!!!
As far as I know that can be done with apk manager, the update zips I use are generally borrowed from other zips, as I only mod things others have done for myself, or make them in UOT.
Try getting in touch with a dev called DooMLoRD
He is very good and friendly (Also from your neck of the woods) but he is very busy. He helped me out inmy noob days, and I am sure he will help you if he has the time.
Ya he did seem helpful.... I know him of course... Anyone who aspires to overclock their xperia knows him....lol... But ya he is busy usually.... And he's more of a deep dev...tinkering with kernels....not the one to make custom ROMs and all isn't it???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
So what I can do is take the zip of someone's rom, keep the certificate in it. Remove all other files, add mine into it and voila I'm done???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I've made a lot of modifications to my stock rom, and would like to share it.... so is system.img a valid way to share my *own* rom or mod ? (valid as in technically feasible? means ppl can d/l it n flash using recovery n use it?)
my main concerns are... will it boot on someone else's device? (i tried it myself... total wipe + clean stock instal, followed by flashing only my backed up system.img, *didn't flash data.img, only system* it took an eternity to boot first time but it ran)
second concern... system.img doesn't have any personal data right? logs, msgs etc are in data partition i guess??

Sounds like you either removed something it needs, or didn't build the ROM together right.
They are bigger than nexus ROMs due to Touchwiz.
Hmm yeah but what is the problem? You said in your thread that you will made your own light rom how have you done it? Did it work? What could be an important app? I deleted the hole list from the angelom thread on page 19 or so and some other crap like livewallpaper. But I have deleted this apps before trough root explorer and everything worked fine.

OK it will be the putting together of the ROM that's the issue. Did you CWM flash?
No with heimdall because I cant create a flashable zip.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If you didn't even see the bootanimation that means the bootanimation isn't there or its corrupt. this means, you either got a problem while flashing, or the files are damaged while packing the file.

Try pushing the mms.apk from the ROM u r running alone. If that doesn't werk try reflashing the ROM again.

ok a little help here, what exactly does that mean? pushing the mms.apk from the ROM?
There is a great app called root explorer that will allow you to take an .apk from the .zip of the ROM u r on and you can paste it in /system/app/ and that replaces the mms.apk assuming u r rooted and can find the appropriate ROM. Honestly I'd just flash something else. Good luck!

Hi Guys. I know some of you are probably wanting OC in your ROM and might not want to wait for someone to implement it in there ROM or maybe you don't want to flash a ROM but just want the OC.
Well i am going to tell you how to get Z-OC in your phone. There are some thing you will need to remember and that is that this can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TURN YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPER WEIHGT OR TURN IT INTO A BRICK FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR WALL.
Here is what to do:
You will need the files at the bottom of this post and extract them.
For permissions. O means tick, X means leave unticked.
1. Place the install-recovery.sh file in system/ect/ and set permissions to:
ooo
oxo
oxo
2. Place these 3 files: zdzihu_oc.ko/ar6000.ko/tun.ko in system/lib/modules and set the permissions to:
oox
oxx
oxx
3. Go back to the install-recovery.sh file and select it and then select execute.
4. Reboot and enjoy
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY LOOK AND CHANGE THE CPU SPEED USING CPU MASTER. DO NOT TRY CHANGIING THE CLOCK SPEED WITH OTHER CPU APPS LIKE SET CPU OR YOU WILL LOSE THE 1113MHZ SPEED AND YOU WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO INSTALL-RECOVERY.SH AND EXECUTE AGAIN.
Awesome. Thank u so much

That's what the ar6000.ko is. Don't delete the original as I have not done that and my WiFi is fine. Also I need to add this to the op but everytime you reboot the phone you need to set the CPU again.

EDIT: just searched it and yes still add it just in case you need to. You can always try without it and let me know or just stay on the safe side and add it. If I have time in a bit I will try without it as I think that the ar6000.ko is actually something to do with CM find coz if I remember rightly the CM kernels or gingerbread kernels had the ar6000.ko WiFi module and the 2.2 or 2.1 kernels had a different one but don't quote me on that one

Correct me if I wrong, but for OC feature you need zdzihu_oc.ko only, others does nothing with OC.

If it is the case only the z oc module is need then I will delete others but if I remember rightly the CM roms needed the ar6000.ko file for the WiFi to work and the tun.ko is a module for the CPU speeds to run by. Eg like CPU governer ect..... Correct me if I'm wrong but there must be reason they are there also the install-recovery.sh file has a lot of coding unlike the fps uncap one as where the one I added in this thread has a hell of a lot more also to do with the CPU governer.

I have tried to make an update zip also but if you try flashing this with a ROM with tweaks you will lose all the tweaks like with wolfs ROM. It is best to do it this way so you don't have the risk of something going wrong and also I get the same error with my zip and I used the update zip program to make it which set perms and signed and zips but still no go.

Save your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk to your computer and uot will make the changes to them in a zip file u can flash using bootstrap recovery. I am on stock rom so I know it works.

1st,
go Bottom left icon set "Own Order" from those options
Next,

go Lower Right icon with four blocks icon, click it. You will see apps floating~ and uninstall "X" for non-system apps. For placing like you want, just press-hold the application you want and move it to where you want it to be. Problem Solved

Haha i see. I don't see that problem, works perfectly in mine. Maybe because i used different ROM + xperiaHome Launcher and allowed to edit apps drawer row and column numbers? Perhaps you try flash other Home launcher (I currently using this nEW HOME launcher from this thread), and see whether that solves your problem or not? NOTE THAT THIS FLASH ZIP will overwrite your xPeria HomeLauncher. If not working, ROM might be the cause. Hope helps Sorry if i accidentally irritatated ya

Haha thanks i'm glad Okay sure, go on. You can see launcher's screenshots from that post. It's zipped in attachments
1) Yeap, download it and place it under ur sd card. Then power off your phone and boot to xrecovery.
But as measurement, i advice you make backup in xrecovery for your Stock ROM's data before flashing anything (in future reuse like easier to unlocking bootloader and so on)
2) Flash it using "install custom zip from sd card". I don't think you will reach error for installing that launcher. It will overwrite original stock home launcher. When completed, reboot phone.
3) Once reboot, patience needed. Need time to execute new Launcher for first reboot
4) If your problem still remain, last option you may have to install another custom ROM to solve it(problems may cause by stock rom script/xml errors) Anyway good luck and enjoy
If can, pls kindly hit thanks button as an appreciation Will be Very Much appreciated
And also thanks to X10forevers senior for providing the launcher too
sincerely,
