I posted directions on how to fix adb on page 4 of this thread if you are getting
adb errors.
Release Notes: Xperia X10 Utility V 1.5
*Update Read Me*
1.5 Posted See Change Log two post down
*End of Update*
I noticed that a lot people are having a hard time flashing themes to their phones.
With that in mind I decided that we need a simpler way to get themes on to our phones and have backups of the original files in case we need to go back to stock for any reason.
Some of the options in this Utility do require that you have root!
While my plan was to make a theme flashing utility I decided to add in a few extra options, as of right now you can …
1. Backup your framework
2. Restore the original theme files (Pre-installed in a folder for this app)
3. Flash a new theme to your phone
4. Backup all your installed apps to your SD Card.
5. Restore your backed up apps from the SD Card to your phone.
6. Install Market Fix
7. Pre-Install Themes Quick Install
Right now this Utility Supports installing Theme files that have Framework-res.apk, Phone.apk, and Phonebook.apk
Next update will add support for themes that edit Time scape and Media scape.
Future Updates will add support to …
1. Backup Apps to PC
2. Restore Apps from PC
3. Root (X10 and X10 Mini / Mini Pro)
4. Backup & Restore SMS messages
5. Download Themes
6. Pre-Installed Themes Quick Install Avail in 1.5
7. Change Startup Animation
8. Uninstall Apps (System and normal)
9. Support for 2.xx
10. Much Much More ….
Directions –
1. Make sure USB Drivers are installed and device is connected
2. Unzip Files
3. Run x10.bat
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Inside the unzipped folder you will find 4 folders that are called theme 1 - 4 they are empty right now.
Download the them you want to use and extract its files to the top level of any one of the 4 folders then select
Option 1 Flash Theme and then select Theme folder you want to flash and it will do it for you.
Credits and Thank You :
Thanks You Golfben / Che123 it was his G1 Utility that gave me the idea to make this for the X10 and he has allowed me to re-write his scripts and update them for the X10 so we can have a utility to make updating files easier.
Also Thank you to Bin4ry & Jerpelea who’s hard work on rooting and root method inspired me to create this app…
Thank you to all the Theme Makers who work so hard on the themes that we all want to download and use to change or improve the look of our x10.
I am looking to add in some quick install themes, so theme makers if you don't mind me making your theme a quick install theme just let me know and I will add it to next update.
Download Link : X10 Theme & System Utility
Original G1 PC Suite Che123, Thanks again for all the hard work and making it possible for me to make something just as nice for the X10.
Here is a quick guide on how to use the basic flash theme option in X10 Utility.
First Extract the downloaded file...
Then Extract your downloaded theme into 1 of the 4 theme folders
Inside your folder your theme files should be like this
Next Select X10.bat
It will open to Main Menu
Next Select Option 1
Next Select your theme folder
It will have you press any key to start
It will install the theme for you and reboot your phone (If framework was updated)
When it is done just hit any key and it will take you back to the Main Menu.
Now installing a theme is quick and easy.

Q: How is your folder structure when you unzipped did it put x10.bat and adb.exe in the same folder?
Ok I'm Checking into this now, if anyone else is having this problem please let me know.
EDIT: I wrote this before I saw your recent post, I have got both adb.exe and x10.bat in the same folder
ok i tried doing it manually and it still didnt work so i tried copying the adb.exe file to the theme one folder and i got this error 4 times http://grab.by/5H45
ok i tried it again with adbwinapi.dll copied to the theme 1 directory and it seemed to work apart from the first line which stated file path not specified however it seemed to copy all the files in the theme folder. I might just copy bother the adb and adbwinapi.dll files just incase. I found the adbwinapi.dll file in the /android-sdk-windows/tools folder.
*Edit* I just saw your post, that file should be auto detected in the tools folder, I will include it in next patch update.
Also can you tell me what error it gave you this time
That file it says is missing should be in your sdk/tools folder
What Sdk do you have installed
I have attached the adb files that go in sdk/tools
try unzipping the files into that folder then re-run the x10.bin and let me know what happens.
Did it install the theme for you.

yep it installed theme, it seems like everythings there except for the reskinned mediascape.apk and timescape.apk's but I think you omitted them from your original .bat file.
Yeah I'm working on V1.2 right now it will be posted in about an hour with support for time scape and media scape files.
ah ok, I'll download it in the morning, its about 2:30am over here! I tried adding
@adb push Timescape.apk /sdcard/Timescape.apk
and
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Timescape.apk of=/system/framework/Timescape.apk
to the .bat file but it doesnt seem to update Timescape or Mediascape
Yeah Please dont edit, script as it may cause errors, I will be posting an update soon,

If someone suggest further features, I'm open to this.
1.2 now available.
New Features.
1.3 now available.
Even more features
To anyone who has tried this and Android Commander, can you compare the two?

No - you cant compare them.
Android commander is a kind of filemanager for your phone.
This Pc Suite is a kind of batch collection, including the (in my opinion) most common commands and actions, you need for your G1 - just type in your selection and the batch works automatic.
Funny to see: Getting so many downloads and no feedback >.<

I get a launcher.apk corrupt.
! C:\pc_suite1.3(2).zip: CRC failed in data\launcher\Launcher.apk. The file is corrupt
I did backup the apps, and it's simple and effective. Not sure what I can do with launcher.apk, but I'll do a search and read.
Thanks!

There are several launcher.apk replacements which you can flash with this function. The one i placed in this suite is only for 2.1 builds afaik.
But if you get another launcher.apk (advanced launcher for example) which is compatible with your rom just place it in /data/launcher of the pc suite and use it again
Nice to see that the backup function is usefull - not only for me
apps back up/restore
how do i do a apps restore?
i have done the back up already and it does work like a charm.. but i dont know how to do do a restore.. and i am not good at all on ADB.. as i been reading and reading but i just cant get do doit.
thanks for the hard work.. and this is an awesome app.

unfortunally i don't yet have a restore option. Maybe it will come.
If you are not good at adb i would recommend you to backup the apps on your sd with this tool. To restore just use a filemanager on your phone and change to the folder /pc_suite/backup_apps/ on your sd and you can install the one you want...
update
1.4 out now
Great work!
I'm very new in the word of android, and this util helps me to use my phone much easier......
Thanks for your work!
New, and BIG update
Hey folk,
i hope is useful for some peoples!
you find Bug? report it!
have phun gn8 ...
it would be cool if you made two seperate folders: 1 for installed and 1 for system apps. Then you could restore them by using
Code:
adb push \data\installed_apps\*.apk /data/app
and
Code:
adb push \data\system-apps\*.apk /system/app
those should work right?
other than that...this is a pretty cool Batch Program man. great job
nvm i figured it out thanks

Warning:This is for advanced users only,I take no responsibility of any damage done to your device using this tool.

1.Complete Fastboot Flasher: It can Flash Boot,Recovery,System,Userdata,Radio Images and even Splash Images.

2.ADB Flasher:For Cyanogenmod only. It can Flash Boot images,Recovery Image and Splash Image on a Live Running Android Device without rebooting phone
3.Boot Animation Changer: yes it can also change boot animation of Android,
Just choose any zip file of any name and it will flash it.
If it throws an error try "remount System" button
4.Integrated ADB shell: Just with a single click of a button,the Output console becomes ADB shell.
5.Reboot menu: Reboot straight to recovery mode or Fastboot (bootloader mode) or reboot normally with a single click.
5.1 Remount System to r/w with a single click

13.Screenshot:now possible to take screenshots from PC (testing)-only for WVGA devices
While Flashing,there is no need to rename image files or copy pasting them here and there,Just browse to the desired file and flash it right away.Just that the path should'nt have spaces in its name.!:highfive:
Usage:
Connect your device in Fastboot mode (for fastboot flasher) or in Debugging mode (for ADB flasher and Boot animation changer) and start the program.
the features are pretty much self explanatory.
If you get stucked or error comes in,you should rectify the problem and restart the application to ensure optimal performance.
Prerequisites:
Fastboot and ADB drivers must be installed and properly working before using this program.
Other upcoming features are:
1.Build.prop editor -added in v1.00
2.Kernel flasher
3.Recovery tools
4.Zipalign
5.Odex/deodex
6.Suggest more...
7.God knows what more...
Any suggestions are Welcome and much Appreciated.:good:
This is an alpha application and may contains bugs like it won't show errors,you have to determine them by looking at shell output,but if you have connected device properly and have drivers installed,you won't run into problems!:angel:
This might not work on Windows Xp,You might need to install NET framework 4.0 or higher to make it work.
Latest Version 1.40 beta
Note:for ffmpeg converter to work,you must download ffmpeg from here and extract it in tools folder of flasher:
http://www.multiupload.nl/ZY3UKJ8BZO
Mirrors for ffmpeg:
http://www.4shared.com/archive/0wKm1az1/ffmpeg.html
http://turbobit.net/jk4g1bdydrrf.html
For those who are unable to get their devices connected:Try copying "adb","AdbWinApi",and"AdbWinUsbApi" files from your android-sdk(or wherever you have adb) to flasher's /tools folder (replacing original ones),then try running Flasher again.

5.Reboot menu: Reboot straight to recovery mode or Fastboot (bootloader mode) or reboot normally with a single click.
5.1 Remount System to r/w with a single click
While Flashing,there is no need to rename image files or copy pasting them here and there,Just browse to the desired file and flash it right away.Just that the path should'nt have spaces in its name.!:highfive:
Usage:
Connect your device in Fastboot mode (for fastboot flasher) or in Debugging mode (for ADB flasher and Boot animation changer) and start the program.
the features are pretty much self explanatory.
If you get stucked or error comes in,you should rectify the problem and restart the application to ensure optimal performance.
Prerequisites:
Fastboot and ADB drivers must be installed and properly working before using this program.
Other upcoming features are:
1.Build.prop editor
2.APK Installer
3.Kernel flasher
4.God knows what more...
Any suggestions are Welcome and much Appreciated.:good:
This is an alpha application and may contains bugs like it won't show errors,you have to determine them by looking at shell output,but if you have connected device properly and have drivers installed,you won't run into problems!:angel:
This might not work on Windows Xp,You might need to install NET framework 4.0 or higher to make it work.
Latest Version 0.91
If You liked my work,You can hit Thanks Button,It encourages me.:victory:

I think it would be more appropriate if you could hyperlink/incorporate the links of respective recovery/boot/system images of phones in the programme.
Or even better idea is to select a phone, version, type of image required say recovery or any other and then programme leads the user to a particular webpage to download the required file and start using the programme. This option can excellent with a dedicated server to provide link in the programme itself, but manual option isn't a bad idea either.
This can be extended to bootanimations etc. too.

Add to it the option of backing up files before writing anything on phone, (no I know you can't backup system.img ).

Actually there are just too many android models out there,so it's virtually impossible link the webpages for respective phones.
This is made to make the flashing like process more easier and user friendly.
BootAnimation changer is provided,but every phone has a different type of boot animations,so users have to search it themselves.
ADB flasher problem solved or not?
And yes,I am working on APK installer and system backup feature,and yes,system can be backed up.
@fonehacker

With this tool, you can completely backup your device without root or unlocked bootloader.
I have tested it so far only with my Galaxy Nexus, but it should also work with other devices running Android 4.0+.
So you can unlock your bootloader without losing your data.
With version 1.1, not all parts of the program will be downloaded, only the necessary.
The most tools in the "Tools" section are for the Galaxy Nexus, but more devices will follow soon.
Now the final release of v2 is out!
The UI is complete, it's much easier to use.

Well...tried this on my GF's Droid Razr Maxx but all it did was display the adb.exe help text and then re-start. Does this util require an ADB connection? Or maybe anything else? I'm thinking some more info would be helpful...
Great idea, though -- I really hope it works.

The compiler has built crap.
And yes, it requires a ADB connection

Since this uses ADB, if adb.exe is not found, it would not give any error/information to the user, of what is happening. It will just exit to the menu. Thus, I have added some ADB detection in the script here. http://pastebin.com/mFXJ3w36
PS: If @Gigadroid would put this up on github, more expansion and contribution is expected.

can u explain more about each option? coz i a little bit confuse about option 3,4 and 5.
if i need to backup game apps and data saved, which one should i choice ?

UI for your tool
Where can I contribute a simple Windows WinForms based UI for your tool? I am envisioning a save folder for backups, a file selection for restore. Backup name with date and time in file name if so desired, custom file name, ADB existense check, all garnished with explanative messages and an interminent progress bar so as to not block the UI while performing backup or restore.
BTW I just tried it on my SGS2 a day I after I rooted it for backups and it work fine
Now if I could only see how in ADB a package list can be retrieved with friendly names (Don't tell me... let me learn alone)
Does it work with<strikethrough> ICS 4.0.3(galaxy S2)</strikethrough> or even Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Galaxy Y) ?

Option 3 is for backup device and app data.
That means when you restore you have only the system apps on your device.
The data of your apps is still present.
If you've done a mission in Dead trigger and install the app again, you're where you left off.
Option 4 is for backup your apps without data.
When you restore you aren't where you left off.
Option 5 is for backup music, pics, etc. hat are saved on your device
I would say you should choose 3 and 4, but with 1 you can do nothing wrong

Layers Manager now supports the 5x making this thread redundant. You can find the beta here:
https://plus.google.com/117376207394302665227/posts/P5Z41eL57bz
Still exercise caution when applying Layers.
Here is a small guide on theming your device using the built in "theme engine" a.k.a. "RRO" until it's properly supported with Layers Manager.
Do not attempt this unless your are prepared to do a factory reset or reflash a boot.img in a worst case scenario.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Requirements.
Root: LINK
BusyBox: LINK (Optional but recommended for future use).
Root file explorer.
Layers themes: LINK
Layers showcase: LINK
To filter themes:
Select hamburger menu in the upper left.
Choose free/paid layers.
Click menu in upper right.
Select "Android Version" and pick "M".
PLEASE NOTE.
THE THEMES MUST BE COMPATIBLE WITH MARSHMALLOW TO RESTRICT PROBLEMS.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps.
Gain root.
Install BusyBox open the app and click "Install" (see screenshot below).

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Use a root file explorer (I use root explorer) to create a folder named "overlay" in "system/vendor" and set its permissions to 775 (see screenshot below).
Download theme/s. TIP do this through your browser to view the package name in the address bar as it will make things easier on the next step.
example:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[B][SIZE="4"]com.dully79.graphite[/SIZE][/B]&hl=en
Using the file explorer navigate to "data/app" and locate the theme you installed.
Inside the folder you will find an apk named "base.apk", copy the apk to your sdcard.
Click the apk and select "view"
Navigate to "assets>Files" and extract the zip/s.
Extract the apks from the extracted zip and copy the desired overlays to the overlay folder we created earlier.
Reboot.
PLEASE NOTE. THE FRAMEWORK LAYER IN GRAPHITE IS UNSUPPORTED AT THIS TIME. DO NOT USE IT.
Problems?.
Until we can view the vendor folder from recovery, here is how to fix a troublesome layer.
Navigate to the overlay folder and delete the layer/s that is causing the issue.
As a last resort, If you cannot gain access to the overlay folder we need to do a factory reset or reflash the boot.img.
Yay! Thank you sir.
Whoa so this is actually the first time I've ever heard of layers or RRO. This is a gamechanger. So a theme like this(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitsykolayers.vividcolorwhite&hl=en) would work? Can you combine themes? One that changes navigation bar and one that changes colors in the system?

Yes, depending on the priority of the layers we are able to stack them. If you have layer (A) that changes the status bar with priority 60, and another layer (B) that changes the same resources with a higher priority, layer B will override A.
But do your self a favour and dont apply anything that isnt officially marshmallow supported.
If you get yourself into problems you may have to factory reset, ive had to do 3 times today testing my theme.
Once we can get into the overlay folder from recovery, troublesome layers wont be a problem.:good:

Layers manager does support 6.0 on most devices, just not this hence the steps to extract.
We need to wait for an update.
If you download the Layers showcase app you can filter themes that are compatible with 6.0:

So I downloaded and installed busybox. I then used three different themes that were compatible with 6.0. I used root browser to create a folder in system/vendor called "overlay" The downloaded themes I downloaded from Google Play are in Data/app. I took the apk and clicked it and hit view. Then I went into assets and took the zip folder and extracted it. I took all the apks and put them into the overlay folder. Then I rebooted and nothing happened. I tried timberwolf, skywolf, and inversion UI.

It is possible to use Layers Manager to install/uninstall Layers/RRO themes. Here's how you do it:
1. Install a Terminal emulator/use adb shell
2. Remount the vendor partition as rw (read/write)
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /vendor
3. Open Layers Manager and install/uninstall your chosen Layers/RRO theme
4. Reboot and enjoy!
Also, a factory reset will not clear any themes installed in /vendor/overlay. You can just flash the vendor image from the factory image to remove all installed themes (no need to wipe)
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

@craigacgomez Getting the theme on to the device isn't really the problem, it's removing them.
Until we are able to view the vendor partition from recovery were playing with fire.
And I never said a factory reset will remove any themes, it will put a stop to persistent fcs like SystemUI. I had to do this 3 times yesterday and twice the day before.
Edit: I forgot to say, the reason I say factory reset is because it can be done without the need for a cable and pc to fastboot flash an image.

It's not necessarily true that a factory reset will get rid of SystemUI FCs if you use a theme that is not M-compatible. But, yes, it could fix many other reasons for FCs.

UnBloatMi - Xiaomi MIUI Bloatware Remover
I have been searching for a script to remove Bloatware from my Xiaomi Mi5s, and found a couple of different ones that do part of the job.
None were exactly what I was looking for, so I wrote a script of my own.
Although I tested the script on my MI5s only, it should be very usable for any Xiaomi device running MIUI 7 or 8.
In UnBloatMi I have combined multiple lists of MIUI 7 and 8 apps that should be safe to remove.
It also contains a couple that are less safe to remove, but the script will ask for confirmation before removing those.
Which is a big difference from other scripts; you get to choose what to remove and what to restore!
Backup location:
If you edit the script, you can change the backup location to use (by default "/sdcard/UnBloatMi")
You can of course also add more apps to remove to the list in the script. (instructions are in the comments)
It's not needed to remove files from the list, as it will not process files that are not on your device, and you can choose not to remove any app.
To Customize the Script:
Unzip the zip and edit the file under: META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary
This script is written in shell language (sh), so editing is somewhat different from "normal" EDIFY scripts that use the "updater-script" file.
I used part of the excellent template by osm0sis to create UnBloatMi
Install Custom Apps/Files:
You can also have the script install Custom files to /system folder. (So you can add another HomeLauncher, for example)
To have the script install Custom files, just add them to the Zip in "/system/app/" folder:
/system/app/YourCustomApp1/YourCustomApp1.apk
/system/app/YourCustomApp2/YourCustomApp2.apk
The script will automatically install them for you.
To use the Script:
You need to have TWRP Recovery installed.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE RUNNING THIS SCRIPT!!! (I recommend using TWRP Backup)
(even though the script allows you to restore your changes, something can always go wrong - press wrong button for example)
- Move the ZIP file to your SDCard, and install using TWRP Recovery
Basically, you can just follow the instructions on the screen, by pressing Volume buttons.
- The first run, you'll be asked what apps to remove. Backups are automatically made.
You can confirm each app, or choose to only confirm the more risky apps.
- If you run the script again (after testing your installation), it will detect the backups from the previous run.
You can then choose to restore the backup files, or delete them from your device.
- You can now also create a default UnBloat list, that can be used to UnBloat after flashing a (new) ROM.
It is created by checking for installed apps. If an app is not found on the device, it's added to the list.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Feel free to edit and change the script.
If you make any improvements, please let me know so I can add them to the script.
This includes reporting what apps caused problems when removed, or comments about apps.
You can find the script in: /META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary (or on GitHub by clicking the "Source Code" link below)
Instructions can be found in the comments of that file.
--UPDATE--
Added Step by Step Restore: You can now choose which apps to restore, so it is easier to troubleshoot your installation.
--UPDATE v0.2--
Added warning to SecurityCenter App (so it has to be confirmed). It caused bootloop on my device when removed.
--UPDATE v0.3--
Bugfixes, Added Apps, changed and added some app comments. Changed download link (GitHub download creates a folder too many)
--UPDATE v0.4--
Changed/Added menu's - Allows you to do more actions at once
Added apps and comments.
Added ability to save a default UnBloat list. This can be used to UnBloat after flashing a ROM.

Thanks for your bug-report and logfile!
It says it couldn't find the script, and after investigating I found the download link to GitHub creates a folder too many inside the zip.
I was hoping to have the available download automatically give the latest version...
I guess I'll have to create a release after every update, and update the link accordingly...
I adjusted the download link in the original post.
this is great! i made my own debloater script, but your is so much more elegant! i hope things dont change much when we update to 8.2....

I have just released version 0.4, which allows us to create a default UnBloat list.
This can be used to UnBloat again after flashing a new ROM.
(I'm hoping to use this in combination with OTA updates. I'll write a howto if I manage to get this all to work)
Thanks, i try it...
EDIT: i have removed many apps on my rn3se (kate), wipe davilcache but i've a bootloop :?
Good restore option
Hey @Zappo, did you already get the update to 8.2? Will you be updating the script for the new miui?

I'm running the MIUI Global ROM 8.0.3.0....
As far as I know, no updates yet...
If anyone knows of new or other Bloatware, I'll update the script accordingly.

If you have found the app causing your bootloop, please let me know. I'll add it to the risky apps list.
I use the "restore one by one" option, and try to find the problem-app that way...

Hi.
Big thanks for your hard work. At this moment i have personalized your list but i think that velvet.apk is a possible problem
This "# The file number doesn't have to be in order, but should be unique." is no true otherwise the script does not work well (es.: items 0-1-3-4)

You are both correct and wrong; they don't have to be in order, but do have to be ascending without interruptions (can't have missing numbers)
Ex: items 0-1-3-5-4-2 is OK.
I didn't think it would be a problem, as items don't have to be removed...
I will review your list, and add a comment to velvet.apk when I have the time. (however it didn't cause any problem on my Mi5s)
Ok, thanks.
Do you know where can i find mi apps description?

I've been Googling for those quite a bit...
It's hard to find good descriptions for those.

No sorry, velvet is ok but it's need a litlle of attention.
EDIT: install /system/custom1/custom1.apk is impossible

Yes, it should work for all MIUI 7&8 devices.
If software in the script is not found on your device, it will be automatically skipped.

I agree this kind of got lost in the code...
New software is only installed when removing bloatware the first time (or when no backups are found).
It should be automatically installed when choosing "Remove/Restore bloatware" from the first menu.
However when a backup is present on the device (folder "UnBloatMi" by default), this is skipped...
I did this, presuming new software is installed after the first run, and if a backup is already created it doesn't have to be installed again.
Hey @Zappo , found this project for redmi note 2, and it's so heavily debloated, i haven't seen anything like it. Maybe you can look over it and add a few more things to debloat? I tried to recreate it but I don't know which qualcomm apps are essential to our phone, i had only bootloops... Anyway here's the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/best-sot-t3434915
Edit: i can provide you with a list of all the contents of the rom, i extracted the system partition.
