Hi!
I have updated my xperia u to a new rom, and the stock calendar was replaced by Google Calendar!
But i need to add events like birthday´s and other event´s from the contacts in phone (not in gmail contacts), so as far i know the stock calendar does that.
Someane know how to do this with the google calendar or can obtain the stock calendar from Sony?
Thank´s

You can extract it and any other app you want from Stock ROM FTF file if you have it.
First extract system.sin from the FTF with 7zip or other archive software.
Then in flashtool go to tools -> sin editor, select system.sin and extract data.
Get ext4_unpacker and extract whatever you need from system.ext4.

I installed a rom cook, but were not included some live wallpaper
that were in the original (WKE2) type Aquarium, does anyone know how to recover
apk file of this live wallpaper?
I found the original rom but it is .tar, and I don't know how to extract the apk file from it...
Thanks
Moved as not development.
As for how to get live wallpaper check out a stock in CWM format and extract the .apk needed.
you can open tar file with winrar or 7zip

In easy terms, system dump has all files provided by official fw that is needed for the phone to run!
It's useful suppose someone wants any app like gtalk,etc which can be found in system /app /
Its helpful for porting Roms and devs! Mainly!

Hi
am new here in this site , and I couldn't find the suitable forum to add this thread
I was in need to add a new locale to an FTF file (flashtool files for sony), I got how to unpack the FTF and unpack the .sin files inside , I was guided that the "system.sin/framework/framework-res.apk" was the file that holds the languages entries in the "settings>languages & input>language" in 4.0(ICS) , so I had the "framework-res.apk" file that holds more languages and replaced it with the original one that holds less languages , now I need to repack the system.sin file , the question is how ?
Same Problem, but KK
Hello,
I have quite the same problem.
I have extracted the folders from system.sin file (to remove some .apk) but I don't know how to repack it to make a new system.sin file to make a .ftf file to flash with Flashtool.
Can someone help ?

I had originally 2.3 GB. But i thought that upgrading things is good so i upgraded(official) to 4.0. But like the video mentions, there were lag issues. There is also a link to another video down below. I did that too.
So basically, i am 100% sure that my bootloader is unlocked, Now, acc. to the video, when I click on the bolt, there should be a firmware appearing in the list. But there isn't. I tried the 64 and 32 bit versions of flashtool, and also re-downloaded the 2.3 firmware from the xda developer forum. I have tried everything i could. I also ran the flashtool drivers.exe in the folder and downloaded flashboot etc etc drivers (see the 2nd video from 3:14 ; I have a xperia u). On googling, i found this :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/issues/ftf-file-seen-flashtool-please-help-t1850176
Bingo. Exactly the same problem, except i have a xperia u instead of p. And the problem isnt solved. The first solution was to check whether bootloader is locked or not. 100% sure it aint. My file was downlaoded ON IT'S OWN in .ftf format. I didnt extract it, or renamed it. Here is where i downloaded it from(1st link):-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...f-xperia-stock-generic-gb-firmware-6-t2376438
Flashtool didnt allow me to drag onto it. And obviously i have the firmware pasted in the firmware folder.
Whats interesting is the last answer. here the person asks whether the "X10 that is installed with flashedtool shows in the list?" I=Even that doesnt show in mine. There is a jar file called "x10flasher.jar". But i dont know waht to do with it. I run everything on admin access.
How to work around this??
Are you with version 0.9.22.3 or higher of Flashtool?
You must install version 0.9.18.6 of Flashtool, so that it recognizes old FTF files.

After a while of having the same issues, I came around a simple solution.
Things you will need:
- 7zip (not sure if WinRAR or others can handle well the compression for .ftf files)
- A basic text editor such as Notepad
What you have to do, in order to get them recognized in the newer versions of Flashtool, is to edit a manifest file, within a folder with the same name.
1. Download and install 7zip
2. Open the .ftf with 7zip (Right click > Open with; you might have to click "Look for a program in my computer" or something like that.
3. Extract ONLY the MANIFEST.MF file from the META-INF folder. Do not close 7zip
4. Edit this file in Notepad (open a window and drag the file to it). Erase the "Sony Xperia" (leave only the LT22i) part on the "device" line. If you see a number in the "branding" line, swap it around with whatever is on the "version" line.
6. Save the edited MANIFEST.MF
7. Drag it onto the META-INF folder in the 7zip window that I told you not to close.
8. Close 7zip and try again.
