My phone is rebooting in circles after installation, have to flash and start over from scratch again:o Well, that's what happen if you want to try everything:p

SEUS, here I come...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] commodoor:
If it's in bootloop after replacing the framework.apk you can also just flash the system.img it will get fixed again withouth loosing data. I did this and worked for me. I don't have a windows pc so couldn't use flashtool so i had to improvise :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
That's for the next time, thanks.

But now after reinstalling everything through seus, Gingerbreak is taking already 15 minutes without reboot:mad:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
Dousan,

Dun think it will work on your play, upload a copy of your framework-res.apk, I will compile a version for you

Pollpix,

Most likely you are using a different region firmware..upload your framework-res.apk as well

This is the info on the phone I use, freshly installed by seus...

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
Do you mind upload a copy of your framework-res.apk?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
Done. Do give it a try. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kiz1983:
which way is safer in performing the action?

through the phone(terminal emulator/root explorer) or through the pc(adb)?

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
Not sure why it doesn't work for you, the framework-res.apk is the same as mine. I've generated the framework again based on the file u uploaded. Do give it a try.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
pc adb will be safer i guess.. but I've always used root explorer to replace system files
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] commodoor:
Again bootloop i'm replacing it with rootexplorer.

Edit:

I think i found out what i did wrong (stupid me) forgot to change the permissions (trying now)

Edit2:

Ok you have to change the permissions when using root explorer. Maybe you can put it on the first post. the permissions are "rw-r--r--"
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
I just can't get this to work at all - on .184 and have used the .184 version.. but I can't even get into change the permissions once I've moved it to the phone - the phone just freaks out immediately and reboots and then bootloops.. does the same when I adb push it... can I adb push it and change the permissions at the same time?? what would the command look like for that?!?!?

EDIT. Sussed it out last night.. from reading on the other thread where this is being discussed.. copied the framework file to the system folder, set the permissions in there to rw-r--r-- then moved it into the framework folder.. rebooted and voila!

I've learned a fair bit about ADB and fastboot in the last 2 days!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
command should look something like:

chmod 644 framework-res.apk

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] commodoor:
It worked for me. I used root explorer and this is what i did:

1. Put the APK on SD

2. Copy framewordk-res.apk in rootexplorer

3. Go to /system/framework and paste

4. Change permissions like shown on the image below

I have restored my original frameword in adb shell so no problem.

So can you do it on this framework?

Thanks for help!

@sbong - My daughter thinks it looks "Awesome" and would like it on hers.. I've pulled the framework-res.apk - don't know how easy it would be for you to make it ??

If you do it's probably worth posting it on the x10 forum too!

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Dousan:
@sbong thanks for the modded framework-res.apk. Went in to a bootloop when I copied it with root explorer. When pasted in /system/framework the phone started acting up and force closing alot of programs and after that I couldn't use root explorer cause of fc'ing and so did terminal emu and before I could get into adb shell and chmod the .apk it froze and rebooted into a loop. So I ended up flashing the generic UK 1.84 firmware cause I couldn't get any other stuff to work.

Anyway thanks for your time @sbong :-D

Now I will try your .apk for the generic 1.84 .apk

Regards Dousan...

Ohh and a pointer to others, copy the .apk to /system then change permission and then paste it in /system/framework, just to be safe and stay free of bootloop (as others have already pointed out). If we had a custom recovery it would be fixed in a jiffy ;-)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hellocng:
sbong, the file you uploaded works great but the only problem is that it comes with the battery mod/icon you've made and I would like to know how to change it. I want a battery icon without the battery and just the percentage, if possible. Otherwise, just changing the color would be enough for me as the blue does not match my background.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MCast_XArc:
I wish I didn't have to go through such complicated procedure for this simple, supposedly included screen animation. :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:

hi, I followed the instructions but I also got a boot loop? How to fix this?

using 181 - rooted and unlocked boot loader of course. and I'm in the Philippines if that would help.

I have backed up my framework-res.apk in my computer and I just want to restore it in my phone, Windows recognizes it as an ADB device, however when I try to adb devices, there are no phones connected it says

can it be a step by step please? and does it wipes data on my phone? like apps and settings?

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] QuentinCosta:
THX very much...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] waanz:
here is how I fixed to boot loop:

- off the phone (i had to pull out the battery)

- press and hold menu button

- plug the phone to your PC/Mac via USB while holding down menu button

=> the LED turns blue, you are in bootloader mode

- download the appropriate system image from this page (flashing system is better than flashing whole ROM since you won't loose data and installed apps).

http://xdaforums.com/show...ght=system.img

- use fastboot to flash the system.img, the syntax should look like:

fastboot flash system system.img //replace system.img with the actual name of the file you downloaded.

It worked for me. I tried to replace framework-res about 5 times, went to boot loop 5 times and fixed it this way 5 times ;-)

Hi All - I've just modded my framework-res.apk to do this CRT animation.. and the file is now smaller than the one I started with.. I haven't tried putting it back into the framework folder yet.. but wanted to ask if I've missed something??

This is what I did..

1. Get apk manager

2. Put framework-res.apk in "modding" folder

3. Run apk manager, decompile option [NOT USING DEPENDENCY OPTION]

4. [NOT REQUIRED?] Drag twframework-res.apk into the script.

5. Go into projects\framework-res\res\values\bool.xml

6. Make config_animateScreenLights to false

7. Go back to script and select compile.

8. Say y

9. Say y

10. Delete resources.arsc from keep folder

11. Pressed Enter in script

12. U'll find unsignedframework-res.apk in "modding" folder

Do I need to sign it? or something else?? Original file was about 9mb new one is about 7mb

Cheers. Alan.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] K4L:
Hi fellas, I have a question. Would this modified framework file work on a Neo running 4.0.2.A.0.42?

I understand this thread is placed in the Arc directory, but since there are a lot of different stuff that works on pretty much all the new Xperias, I figured maybe this would aswell.

Do I only have to change the framework-res.apk file? I have rooted my Neo (but not unlocked the bootloader), so I guess I'd just use Root Explorer to switch the file in the system-directory, and then reboot the phone to see if it works.

I bought the phone yesterday and I've just finished configuring everything, so I really don't want to try this before someone confirms that it works on a Neo, because if I get stuck in a boot-loop or something, I'd have to reset the phone and then reconfigure it again, and since I just finished that, I don't wanna have to do it all over again :(:p
