Oh dear God, I think you may have answered something I have been wrestling with for a while. If I use the recovery flash method rather than pushing the files with adb, will the theme also include the new custom lock screens?
I just tried to flash my downloaded UOT .zip and now i've got a bootloop.
Do i just make it the same way as i would if i was pushing the -res and UI .APKs to the phone?

But you have the new firmware 4.0.A.2.368?Specified that' only the firmware and the file and 'have been personally tested and works great.
I extracted the file, found a lot of folders, I don't know what to do next..
Can you do a step by step tutorial on how to install this? Thanks..

You have the recovery? You don't open the zip file and extract it, but put the archive.zip in the directory of the sd and flash it as a zip.
What's recovery? Where can I found it? Sorry, total noob on this..
I got yours workung fine but when i flased mine from uot kitchen i get bootloop. They both contain the same folders. Maybe bad dowbload.

And i thought you were a PRO in here
To do this you need the Bootloader Unlocked,and R00T!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130639
download the package , "BOOT" the package!
but before you do BOOT the package put the Theme in ZIP state anyware to your SDCard.Once you BOOT the package and click Install from SD,find it and CLICK YES !!!! you'll have your theme
Do a nAndroid before doing it (backup)
To enter recovery again,Reboot,when you see the FIRST logo,Hold the Power button and TAP BACK BUTTON like a DONKEY!!!
I think i might be a professional idiot. I know what i was doing wrong.
When i was making my theme with uot kitchen i used the framework-res.apk and systemUI.Apk that were on my computer but these have been there for ages and aren't from the newest firmware that i am on now

I'm only using the stock recovery, lol. haha.. I'm no pro, and not lurking much around to increase my uhmm you know.
Hi all
I am quite new to theming and i have just created this bootanimation from the iphone's one. So i was thinking of sharing it here.
Instruction
1) Download the bootanimation.zip
2) Take a backup of your current bootanimation.zip in \system\media
3) Copy the new zip file and paste in \system\media using root explorer
4) Reboot and enjoy the new theme
or just flash Iphone_Jailbroken_boot.zip through xrecovery
Hope all of you would enjoy it
Credits
Thanks to despotovski01 for his guide on creating boot animation,all who have helped out and Dark Nightmare for the xrecovery zip
Cheers

I still a newbie and i am not sure how to do a recovery zip. This zip here can not be flash thru xerecovery but u can still follow the same procedure even if u are on stock kernel. Remember to take a backup for your bootanimation.zip first in case anything goes wrong.

No you cant use xrecovery to flash this coz this is not a flashable zip. You have to manually put it in the system/media folder. Backup original before you put this one.
Flashable zip
Here is a flashable zip
@boricua6
Did you follow the steps? You cannot flash my file thru xrecovery. If you need a flashable zip u can try dark nightmare's one.

you need to use wifi or data to update the script..
for the browse file you need to choose your custom rom flashable zip..example your rom is cranium then you must browse cranium zip then select configure..

I have almost the same problem and I`m using Crybernation beta 2 rom. The problem comes because zip I used to update Edify for 9001 (crybernation beta2) has aroma installer in it ... and the flashing theme zip tryies to open aroma 1`st instead of pushing framework to it`s place
So for him I would say to update edify using option 2 by choosing a clean ROM zip package with no much modification to framework.
ok thx chasemyass for hlp now its working! twist is amazing;d
I don't found edify-I9001 after updating-which one should I select?

Option 1 and browse sd for zip of rom you have flashed and using now. Restart app then you should have edify for 9001

to update edify, use option1 and browse the zip with deodexed files, the edify should update from there since it`s a flashable zip and it has framework inside it
noob question, but nowhere is explained. What is this for? How can i use it?
[TUT] How to extract .ftf file to make custom rom - Flashable ZIP [2012 Xperia]
This tutorial is for developers who want to make their own custom rom based on official firmware. OK, let's start.
Explanations:
Inside every flashable zip file there are two folders - system and META-INF:
1) system folder - That is actually your ROM and all it's content (If you ROOT your device you gain access to this folder in your device).
2) META-INF folder - That folder gives instructions to your device (ClockWorkMod) how to flash ROM, sets permissions...
This is method to get Stock/Official system folder that you need to edit to make custom ROM.
You will need to find/make yourself contents of META-INF folder - You may took it from another ROM and (maybe) edit.
NOTE: If you use this method your ROM will work for both Locked/Unlocked bootloaders, and it will require that you have firmware your ROM is based on already installed before flashing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to get contents of stock/official system folder - Extract .ftf file:
1. Download .ftf file for your device.
2. Extract .ftf file using 7Zip.
3. You will get system.sin and other files. You only need system.sin file so delete others.
4. Open flashtool and inside flashtool open SIN Editor to dump data from system.sin - you will get an ext4 file.
5. Open ext2Read and extract ext4 file.
6. Done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to put CWM into your ROM:
OK, Now you ask - Why do I have to put CWM into ROM? Let's explain:
CWM is custom recovery that you use to flash zip files to your device. There are two types of CWM:
1. For both Locked and Unlocked bootloaders - Recovery is in the system folder of the ROM.
2. Only for Unlocked bootloaders - Recovery is somewhhere else (You don't need that).
Because your ROM is based on official firmware it will be for both Locked/Unlocked bootloaders.
Therefore, you will flash your ROM in CWM for both Locked/Unlocked bootloaders.
And if you flash you will replace system folder of previous ROM. Because CWM was in that folder of previous ROM - You will lose CWM.
That is why you need to put CWM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Find CWM for both bootloaders for your device.
1. Copy sh file inside files folder to system/xbin.
2. Copy other files inside files folder to system/bin.
3. Go to META-INF/com/google/android/ and you will find updater-script.
4. Add the following lines to it
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/recovery.tar");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/battery_charging");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/battery_charging_help");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/xbin/sh");
Thanks srl3gx for tutorial.

How to add ROOT into your ROM:
Want your custom rom to be rooted? Here is how:
1. First you need to choose from two great root management apps: Superuser (choose ARM one) and SuperSU(I prefer SuperSU).
2. Download zip file.
3. Go to "system" folder in downloaded zip and copy files within their folders to its place in your rom (same directory - if was "app" then copy in "app".
4. Edit updater-script to set correct permissions - Find that on someone elses rom, it should look just like for CWM, but for those files.
5. Done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Useful notes:
1. Don't edit any file in zip with Windows Notepad or else you will get an error in CWM - you need Notepad++.
2. When you put system and META-INF folders into zip set compression to - Store.

[TUT] How to extract .ftf file to make custom rom - flashable ZIP [2012 Xperia]
This tutorial is for developers who want to make their own custom rom based on official firmware. Note that as of 2012 our Xperias use ext4 file system so other tutorials won't work.
Inside every flashable zip file there are two folders - system and META-INF...System folder is ROM content...and META-INF gives instructions to CWM how to flash ROM Content....This is method to get contents of SYSTEM folder, you must find META-INF yourself....
1. Download .ftf file for your device.
2. Extract .ftf file using 7Zip.
3. You will get system.sin and other files..You only need system.sin file so delete others...
4. Open flashtool and inside flashtool open SIN Editor to dump data from system.sin - you will get an ext4 file.
5. Open ext2Read and extract ext4 file...
6. Done...you will get contents of system folder that you need to modify...
7. IMPORTANT - When you later make zip choose compression - Store
PS: Don't edit files with Windows Notepad or else you will get an error in CWM - you need Notepad++...
Maybe later I will make Screenshots

any idea on how I can edit boot.img? the one used for this device are different from what I know.. I am trying dual boot..
you can pack and repack boot img with Android kitchen i think
Great tut

I already knew this method. However I congratulate you for your initiative. :highfive:
Well I learned something else. Before it only used to extract some files. I did not know we could do this way the custom roms.
I'll try to make a custom rom.
However verified that the file size of system.ext4 is 665,654 KB. Once extracted using ext2read, is only 467 MB.
It is normal for this situation? Instead of decreasing, should not increase after extracted?

That was my problem too I ended up with an ext2read error and less size
But ext4 is Linux system partition and not zip file. Maybe flashtool made partition that big so every file could go there easily and it couldn't set exact size.
There is no other tool on internet, only ext2read.

I understand now.
First that zip should only make use to you to learn a little bit more about development. To install that you need already to be rooted with CWM installed.
Second it doesn't install because our devices use a little bit different things. Edit and change every MTD to EMMC and every yaffs (or similar) to ext4. (Notepad ++)

Hello..
Is it possible to flash a cwm-flashable zip whilst flashing another zip??
i.e suppose my zip file contains meta-inf, system and a zip file... so is it possible to flash the zip file from the parent zip?

nope
