Well i know many of you have done this but i havnt seen it posted in this thread so here it goes just in case. * Longer Process* but skips dealing with all the commands.
To get auto rotate browser without going through all the command process.
1. Download Koush auto rotate browser here, http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/auto-rotate-for-android-browser.html.
2. Open the browser.apk file, I use winrar.
3. Copy all files from that zip.
4. Open any theme of your choice using winrar, goto app and open the browser.apk
5. Open the browser.apk in winrar and paste the files that you have copied from Koush's browser.apk
6. Save, Now you must autosign your update.zip by following this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3178676
7. Now put the update.zip that you just signed into the root of your sdcard.
7. Turn off phone and boot using home+power
8. Now hit alt+s to update, when finished reboot and walaah!
*This is for the people who are not comfortable using command prompt, works like a charm, has been tested on my phone using jf 1.31 rc30
? Has anyone els tried this and succeeded ?
Not understanding # 2, I went and downloaded the browser, it's an .apk not a zip file?
just fyi, the koush's browser does not need the odex file removed. it is just unnecessary, so why not remove it?
Edit your link for autosigning

ok- G1 newbie here- by theme you mean JF RC30/ADP1/RC8 etc?- YES is the answer to that-
now do i just zip the folder with the pasted files in it? Do i add it to archive? I did that, then chose RAR format and then changed name of file to Browser.apk. Is this correct?
crap! just realised i need java installed for this to work....... will try later..... still not sure if i did the rezipping procedure properly....
am i supposed to rename the "updated_signed.zip" file to "update.zip"?

Have you tried rebooting your phone after the update?
Well, I didn't before now, lol. Howerver, still a no go..
If his file is an apk, why can't you open the update, and replace the whole browser.apk file, then just resign it?
ill try it.
Has that worked for you?

Yes that's what I have done and its worked with all themes I have applied it to
I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, maybe your missing a step?
Me? i was just making a recommendation, i haven't tried it. Because he said to open the apk, and replace certain files.
Hi,
I often dowload apps that come in a zip, and once unzipped are not in apk format.
For example, after being unzipped will usually include the following:
android manifest.xml
classes.dex
resources.arsc
a 'Meta-INF' folder
a 'res' folder
and a 'lib' folder
Was wondering how to get these packages installed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Those are usually things you have to flash through recovery (install zip option), or install through MetaMorph if they're themes.
Hi,
just saw, you were faster.
have the same problem, in my case a *. sis file.
I don´t really know what to do with those files.

Was a game I downloaded if that helps any1 understand.

This folders are the typical folders found in an apk file. Actually, all you have to do in this case is to just rename the .zip file to .apk without unzipping it and it should work. I do that when my apk files that I downloaded comes out as .zip. It works for me all the time.

While they commonly will give you an .apk file, sometimes especially if you download it from your android device directly, it downloads as a .zip file. In that case you will have to rename it.

wait wait... what do you wanna do again?
I'm not 100% sure it will work and I won't try it on my phone, but it looks like they have packed it up in a most bizarre fashion.
It looks like you have to unzip the file, remove the src folder, zip up the remaining stuff, probably sign the package, and rename it to .apk. I'm not sure what to do with the src folder- maybe compile it and stuff it back in there?
Hello Guys. Can anybody upload SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk of Sony Xperia Tipo(ST21i)?
I tried to copy using root explorer to SD card, but it can't be seen on computer when connected using data cable. How do i copy those two files? I need it for UOT Kitchen! I'm not able to find the procedure or files in XDA. So please do help!
They are probably hidden files in SD Card, try to enable showing hidden files on your PC.
Secondly, try to make zip file from those two files, send to PC and then extract.

I copied to SD Card. It didnt show up. So enabled show hidden files. DIDN'T WORK. Zipped it. Again DIDN'T WORK.
Use another root/file manager, maybe change something on phone to show like not hidden?
I managed somehow and i downloaded UOT zip file. Now when i try to install i get Status 0 error. I saw "How to" section of that site, i read that status 0 procedure, but i didnt get it. What is overriding UOT's file mean? What actually i should do?

I'm really sorry for my english! The problem is I want SystemUI and framework-res files for UOT Kitchen to customize the notification bar. I downloaded the UOT zip file. But when i try to Install it using CWM, it gives me Status 0 error. In the website there is instruction if this error occurs. But i didn't get it.
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)

Can anyone explain me what does this mean? What should i actually do?
Ahh I get it.
That is an error in update-binary in META-INF... folder, you should replace it with some other update-binary file.
But you don't need CWM, you can manually put those files with some root manager if you can not get that workin'.

Q&A for Deodexed Stock System for Xperia C (16.0.B.2.16)

This is not a ROM, It is only the Deodexed Stock System Folder, for those who wish to make some Custom ROMs or want to edit their Stock System files, but are unable to do that due to .odex files. Here all odex files are removed and classes.dex files are introduced in their .apk. Which helps developers make make ROMs and people to edit and develop things.

The zip contains a system folder. Using a Root Explorer replace your stock System folder with the system folder present inside this zip file. And then reboot your device. By this method you will have a deodex Stock System in your device.

If you want to get this deodexed system into your device then just copy "app" and "framework" folder from this zip file and paste and replace these folders into your system's "system" folder using Root Explorer...
Or you can do one more thing. Download a Custom ROM for Xperia C and then place this system folder (from this thread) into that ROM zip file and flash the ROM...

The only thing you have to do is to copy the "app" and "framework" folder from the zip that you download from this thread and paste them into the "system" folder of your mobile phone (replace the preexisting folder). You can do this using app called Root Explorer

Just open yhe system folder of your mobile using Root Explorer application and there you will find the "app" folder and "framework" folder delete those folders. (DO NOT RESTART YOUR DEVICE AFTER THIS). Then open the zip file that you will download from this thread. In that zip file you will find a folder named system and inside it you will find a folder named "app" and a folder named "framework" copy these folders and place them into your mobile's system using the same Root Explorer file. Now Restart your device.
