Guys if you are new users and change themes files and remain safe then do like i describe other wise your Xperia arc can be on a boot-loop and restart it self
X theme pack the Original thread is here, you can download it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137329
Method how to apply..............
1) first copy all those files and keep a backup of them in SD card, which you are going to replace from your System folder in this TUTORIAL
so that in future you can resore the orignal one if you want
2) Requirments:
2.1) your phone should be rooted
2.2) busybox installed
2.3) root explorer installed
here are three kind of themes Blue, Green, Red
you can download them from original thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137329
All the theme folder have three files inside them
a) framework-res.apk (you will find this file in system\framework)
b) SemcGenericUxpRes.apk (you will find this file in system\framework)
c) SystemUI.apk (you will find this file in system\app)
first of all copy all files into sd card
*** steps ***
1) first of all open root explorer open system and copy all your orignal three file you are going to replace and paste then in a folder in sd card, for example i make a new folder with the name (Orignal backup files )in my SD card and i paste my all orignal apps there you can do it by
go to system folder now you will see a boton on the top ( Remount as R/W ) tab on it now it will be like this ( Remount as R/O ) done, now you can copy your system apps
2) now go into SD card you will see a boton on the top ( Remount as R/W ) tab on it now it will be like this ( Remount as R/O ) done.
************Remember you shoud be tab this botton in both placec System folder and SD card***************
3) now copy framework-res.apk from theme folder you want to apply and paste it in system first now long tab on it, it will pop up a window tab on permissions you will see a box like this
............Read.....Write....Execute
User.......Yes.......Yes........-
Group......Yes........-..........-
Others.....Yes........-..........-
Select only those which i select in this Picture
now move it to system\framework
4) Do not exit your root explorer and do same with the file SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
copy SemcGenericUxpRes.apk from theme folder and paste it in system first now loang tab on it, it will pop up a window tab or permissions and set them like you did with first file
and move it to system\framework
***************** now exit Root explorer and reboot your device ********************
after phone is on go to root explorer and copy the last file name SystemUI.apk
again Copy it to system tab on it select the permissions like describe uper picture
and paste it to system\app
***************** now exit Root explorer and reboot your device ********************
Done
HOW TO GET BACK ON ORIGINAL THEME :
it is the same methord you did like uper but a little tricky
copy your origaln files now instead of custom theme files but in this order
now this time copy the third file first name SystemUI.apk
Copy it to system tab on it select the permissions like describe uper and paste it to system\app
***************** now exit Root explorer and reboot your device ********************
after on copy and paste the secound and first file named
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
framework-res.apk
Copy it to system tab on it select the permissions like describe uper and paste it to system\framework
***************** now exit Root explorer and reboot your device ********************
Do same like this other wise you will break your phone software and it will go on a bootloop, i did it with my phone
then i again flash my phone with flash tool and update it through OTA... very loag method to do it...
takes a lot of time

Hi all
I'm very interested to apply one of the x-themes WITHOUT changing my own Lockscreen (official one)! How can I do that?
Thanks lot
In fact, all I desire, is battery pourcentage + network signal + wifi signal on red color
Am i able to flash the google now file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
With the stock recovery tool and without root rights?
Sry, i know this is a noob question, but i realy tried to find it out my self. :angel:
As nobody else has responded to this I thought I'd try to help. It says in the post you linked to that it requires an AOSP based ROM which we don't have for the Tablet S.
I've got Google Now on my tab using the apk but you won't be able to do it without root.
you can not flash other rom before someone crack the recory mode
for the google now,it is only a apk,so you can copy it by root explorer
------------------------------
These are the current instructions and download:
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Rename the "signed_velvet-voicereco.apk" that you downloaded (link below) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3.) Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4.) Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Try to install the downloaded .apk off your sd just like any other .apk
post back if you successd.
Hello everyone
So lets get to the point.
I actually want to know of a kernal with which i will be able to change bootscreen. Ofcourse i could have found myself but there are sooooooo many kernals to test.... Its almost impossible to find one. I currently use siyah. So if anyone knows please tell me.
No kernel supports bootanimation,you have to do a small edit to rom level to get it to go..

Ok i like messing with complex things. So, what file do i need to edit?
First of all serves:
- A sd card ( to save the file)
- the files of the boot animation taken from another rom or firmware ( to put in our sd before you put it in cellular!)
- root permissions
- a file manager (type solid explorer , astro file manager etc..)
If you have done all of this then we begin opening our file manager: By 'phone' go to 'SYSTEM' and Entered in the folder 'SYSTEM' we go to the subfolder called 'MEDIA' ! In Here we will find or 2 file format called QMG bootsamsung. and QMG and bootsamsungloop. QMG , or a zip file called boot animation.zip ! Then copy the files and paste them from your phone to 'SD' . So in case we have problems conversely from there. For this to mean we go back to system and go in the folder SD CARD. in the 'SD' we stick on files ( or by creating a folder or we may put them where we want! Glued the files back to system , always in the folder " MEDIA" and we are cancelling the two original files.
In this , we return back to the sd card, leaving system and copy the two files that we have brought in sd and that we would like to put as the boot animation . Copied the files and go system / MEDIA and here paste the file! Now by clicking on file , there will be a menu' , just go to 'PERMISSION OR PERMITS ' and put the checkmark on READ WRITE-READ- READ ! And restart your mobile phone.

Ok thanks i did as you said but there is no change. The mod contains only bootanimation.zip. Please tell me a way. Here is mod forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
The bootanimation is composed of two files: a .zip file that is located in system/media called its own bootanimation.zip (that and the video) and a .ogg files that is located in system/etc called PowerOn.ogg (the audio part)
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21749971&postcount=5
P.S. Dates even a glance at google,there are many! Small piece of advice: if you read that they recommend to flash the bootanimation does not go ahead.If you follow my guide to the letter you'll never problems!
Installation procedure :
- Download the bootanimation
- if the package that you download and flash then from pc pull the archive and look for the system folder/media. Inside you will find the file bootanimation.zip , grabing it(without extracting the content) on the desktop and then copy it into the sd's internal phone.
- Always if the package is from flash, from the pc pull the archive and look for the folder system/etc and copied the file PowerOn. Ogg in sd's internal phone(in some bootanimation the sound file there is! It makes no difference)
- once you have copied these two files we have to enter with the rootexplorer in the system folder/media, rename the existing file to bootanimation.zip in bootanimation.zip.old (thus the store)and copy our new file being careful that it is appointed as well, i.e. bootanimation.zip
- if we also file PowerOn. Ogg then always with root explorer we enter in system/etc rinominiamo the existing file in PowerOn.ogg.old and copy our new file always careful that it is spelled correctly, i.e.: PowerOn. Ogg
- if we have not the audio files but what we have we don't like it then to delete just rename the file to .old -once copied files, reboot the phone, and enjoy our new bootanimation....

THanks for links.
I did as you said that is,
renamed bootanimation.zip in system/media to bootanimation.zip.old (in internal phone).
Then i put modified bootanimation.zip after extracting it from the archive i downloaded and put it into phone in system/media.
Restarted phone.... no affects! no change! its default!

if you want to put other bootanimation cel.dovete edit the info file inside the zip file.
estarete folder bootanimation
usually you will find two files
part0 folder (containing pgn files or jpg)
and the configuration file named desc
This latter open it with Notepad
you will like this:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
The first line corresponds to the size with the frames per second
The second line:
P corresponds to a new command
1 corresponds to the number of how many times you want to see your bootanimation (on gs3 if you set 0, is in a continuous loop)
the next number would be zero, specifies how many frames to wait before moving on to the next command
maybe if you have different caretlle
ie part0
part1

That's what i am exactly thinking. Does omega 12 supports boot animation change? Although there is a boot animation option in kitchen but it's only for restoring original boot animation. Please help me.
*BUMP*
Anyone?

Wrong wrong wrong stock Samsung boot files are QMG format always .
They have no bearing upon a custom boot animation .
Custom boot animation is in a ZIP file and requires a kernel capable of running custom boot zip .

I have successfully created my own bypass to get viper4android to work. Always create a full backup before attempting =)
1. Download viper4android APK
2. Download Root Explorer from the playstore
3. Install Both Apps
4. Launch Root Explorer
5. In root explorer go to /system/lib/soundfx and copy the folder to /data/ (make a soundfx folder)
6. Also copy /system/etc/audio_effects.conf to the /data/soundfx/ folder
7. Using root explorers menu you can create a shortcut (symbolic link) make a shortcut of the /data/soundfx/ folder and a shortcut of the /data/soundfx/audio_effects.conf
8. Boot into TWRP
9.Mount the system partition
10. Rename /system/lib/soundfx to /system/lib/soundfx2
11. Copy soundfx shortcut create earlier to /system/lib/ it will look like a "file" to TWRP
12.Rename the /system/etc/audio_effects.conf to /system/etc/audio_effects.conf1
13. Copy the audio_effects shortcut into /system/etc/ (be sure its name matches the old exactly)
15. Reboot
16. Launch Viper and install driver
I haven't dealt with LPA yet (hasn't had an issue) nor have I done any other modifications at this time which are avail on the viper4android thread.
I was just thinking about symbolic links to get around this S-OFF/ON issue and it appears they work and technically as a workaround we could symbolically link everything in system to another location and access it all. This could easily be put into ROM builds now at least as well!
Build.Prop may be useful to move out via sym link as well
I'll try this in a bit. Thanks

I was searching all over for a nice Matrix boot animation for my RAZR HD, but couldn't find a vanilla one that took up the full screen. Therefore, I decided to modify a nice one I found (credit to HaLo2FrEeEk for the original) to work on RAZR HD.
Instructions: You MUST be rooted to install this file.
1. Navigate to your system/media directory using root browser or any other browser that can view system files. There you will find a file named "bootanimation.zip".
2. Rename this file to "bootanimation1.zip" and leave it there in the folder if you wish to revert to your stock boot animation at any time.
3. Take the "Matrixbootanimation.zip" and move it into the system/media folder.
4. Rename the file to "bootanimation.zip".
5. Press/hold the file to get a menu, and select permissions.
6. Set Owner to read/write, Group to read, and others to read. Click OK.
After these steps, reboot your phone, and enjoy your shiny new animation
