There is no easy way.. you have to copy all ur conents from your phone to memory to PC and then delete the '0' folders and then copy back your contents from PC.. i have done this and it went smoothly..

I tried approximately 22 times to install from multiple sources but the zip file is just not showing up!!!!! Can someone please help or give a step by step guide? I really want this ROM on my phone
You need to expand the rar file you've downloaded to extract the zip inside. Place that zip on your external then it should show

Here, i made the zip for you http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HFFEYG2Y. Just download boot into recovery and you should see it.
The reason your phone couldn't find it before is because it was in a RAR format and when in CWM only ZIPS are recognized for installing

I've seen this type of download before and it says the zip itself (named boot) is a .img and when I put it into the SD it shows up as a very small (4,000 KB) zip file. it doesn't show up in CWM.
Did you try repacking it as zip?
I have 8gb sdcard which is partitioned into 6.3gb+700mb( to use link2sd).. Now my problem is, in the folder
/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/ there are two files named .thumbdataxxxxxxxxx which is around 500mb each.. No matter how many times I delete them they are created automatically in few hours.. Because of this my sdcard free space is 0.0byte.. I have only a few gallery pics. The size of the photos are 100 to 200mb only.. Is this kind of virus?? I'm using zoner antivirus it didn't detect any virus..
What should I do now..?

Open a shell on your phone, preferable "adb shell", but I guess "ConnectBot" or similar is good enough.
Become root (using Link2SD, I assume you've got root).
Run the command "lsof", best is to do this once you see the file is growing. So try deleting it, and wait for it to re-appear. Due to the size of the file, it must be written to for a long time before it fills up the SDcard. Now run "lsof" (stands for "LiSt Open Files".
Code:
[email protected]:/ # lsof > /sdcard/files.txt
Now open the file "files.txt" in your favourite editor and search for a line containing the file name.
It may look like:
com.andro 7817 app_54 32 ??? ??? ??? ??? /system/fonts/DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf
The first number "7817" is the process number owning the file in question (here /system/fonts/DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf, but you are looking for thubdata). See what process this is using "ps":
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ps 7817
USER PID PPID VSIZE RSS WCHAN PC NAME
app_54 7817 166 283756 24068 ffffffff 2aabc3f0 S com.android.calendar
Ah... calendar...! Now you what what app create this file, and you can continue the investigation of this app!

Ok, this is a system process. I guess you've got some image with an invalid embedded thumbnail. Move all images from your device to your computer and see if the problem goes away. In this case, at least one of your images is broken, and you'll have to find which. Move all movies as well to be of the safe side.

You can find it within 10 operations. Divide and conquer.
First move all the pictures to verify the error goes away. If not, I was wrong, and we'll have to try something else.
If the error goes away, restore half of the pictures, i.e. 500 of them. Did the error occur again? Remove half of the half again, i.e. 250 etc. By dividing by half all the time, you will get down to one single picture in 10 steps.

Dears,
Kindly I want to know some info about swap as I am a newbie in root.. I downloaded 2 apps for this "MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check and Swapper For Root" and I tried them.. They are very amazing apps but sometimes I don't feel that they are working.. Anyways, I disabled the swap and I deleted the swap file from the SD card after using "Swapper For Root" and then I tried "MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check" to make sure that my device can do the swap or not and then I Uninstalled both of them but when I wrote in terminal "free" after I deleted both of the 2 apps I found the below...
Swap: 61432 37240 24192
I want to know if it is normal or not to find a swap space like this.. I used MemoryInfo & Swapfile check and Swapper For Root Only.
If this space is not normal or it will affect negatively on my device or my SD card so I wish you can help me solve this problem.
My device is SE Xperia Mini Pro SK17i "Rooted" through a guide on SE Forum, Build Number 4.1.B.0.587.
Thanks in advance & I very much appreciate your support.

I am sry about the second thread but I thought that I will recieve no more replies so I just wanted to refresh the post no more.. I am sry again
After I uninstalled the apps I restarted.. And after I deleted the scripts I did a reboot too.. But it is still the same
If it is okay to find a swap space like this in my SD so I don't have to worry.. The problem is that I don't have a PC or a Lap nowadays.. On the other hand, I don't want to disable the option of swap in case I may do it later after taking a backup from SD.

If you look in your sdcard, can you see the swap file? If you can, you can either delete it or try and figure out how to reset that particular swap using terminal emulator. If you want to try the second solution, you need to look for the swap in /sys/block and let me know if you find it.

No I can't see the swap file in my SD card...

in terminal try:
su
swapoff /dev/block/mtdblk3
if that doesn't work you can look again for the swap file. According to the app it should be somewhere in your system folder or you can just set the swappiness to 0
again in terminal:
su
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0
which rom are you running right now, because you should also be able to restore just the system partition from a nandroid back up with out losing all your settings....

Have you checked using "free" to see if the swap is still being used, if the numbers don't change over time then no swapping is happening. If the swap is in RAM then there is no harm to the device. If the swap is on the sdcard or internal memory then there may be a slow damaging of the media, but I think this takes a long time. Try setting vm.swappiness to 0 this will minimize the swapping until you are ready to flash a new ROM.
One reason why I asked what kind of rom you are on is because by flashing the rom again you should wipe out the swap. This is easy to do with with a custom rom but it is a little bit harder to do with a Sony stock ROM. Also any nandroid back up from before you set up the swap will wipe it out also.
i am using CM10.1 with the A1 kernel and a little bit ago, i could just simply go to the /sdcard directory to get to it but now, i have to go to /data/media/0/ and that's the sdcard and everytime i flash a rom it adds a 0 so it'll be /data/media/0/0 which i don't understand why it's doing that. can anybody help me with this issue? thanks!
You can move your files out of the second 0 to the first 0 then delete the second 0.
Its because of JB 4.2. Google implemented the multi-user function. In order to do that, they added the 0.

If you ever used a 4.2 Rom it makes a "0" folder. So if you see that folder put the roms in that folder and then your recovery should see it
