Thankx man.there is framework.odex and other .odex files as well.So need to download this file http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i1g7ca77agj7aru?

I just need to flash this zip file via CWM or do i need to do anything else before flashing?Will it work on my rom 4.0.4?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Pandemic:
nope just flash mate and thats the right one from the link;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] shoeseat:
Thankx for the quick reply but if in case anything goes wrong and i need to restore which files do i need to take backup or the restore not possible after flash?

@shoeset

Make an install zip backup of your framework. Jar, framework. Odex, framework-res apk, android.policy. Jar and android. Policy. Odex

Sorry,I use the Sony PC Companion 2.1 ,reflash the clean stock ICS 4.0.4

And only get the root and use Xperia CWM Auto-Installer install the Recovery,use the Odex ver and LOCKSCREEN SETTINGS,but i get the bootloop too.

my devices is Lt15i,I hope one day can fix this"Unknown problem".:crying:

(Some people successfully use this mod,but Some people can not,including me.)

I will be waiting,thanks!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Jonfensu:
Finally

People, if you have bootloops with STOCK (Odex) ROM, just flash other framework-res.apk (IE from NXT pack 3.0) and then this mod... it works to me... Thanks Aeon, this mod is awesome...one of the best over here.. and..the previous Lockscreen from XS has a Progress bar, Cover art and Artist info,so i dont know if is possible to work over this (since it is for GB)...

PS.

*M8 Could you remove the Slider Text ("Slide to right to unlock" i think that is needless) and Add the XS text pointer?

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ThilinaC:
okay fist of all I will never update nxt pack again,ever .|.

also normally we should not sign system apk's.After we editing anything in them and compiling extract edited files with winrar and replace them in original apk using winrar.This way is used in nxt pack's all apks including framework so I doubt this will wotk mate.

But deleting meta-inf folder(probably removing the signing) of all the apks will that work ?

Aeon, im using Arconium ICS v4 and i also have the apps for Xperia S ICS. i know that Arconium is a Deodex ROM but everytime i flash your file for deodex ROM i keep on getting bootloops. what can i do? thanks in advance! :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
Actually deleting the meta-inf folder doesn't work :(

But the 1st workaround I mentioned is tested and worked. I'm not sure what's the reason behind why we should not sign system apks as the only reason coming into my mind is signing a system apk is not neccessary since you're basically copy pasting the apk and it's not going through the package manager which requires signing. This was my 1st android device and as I can see every system apk's on sony's ROM are all signed by a sony custom certificate. So modifying core files like AndroidManifest which does all the verification inside the apk breaks the signature in that specific apk. Also re-signing a specific system apk also breaks it's compatibility since it gets rejected by the other system apks which are still signed by sony.

I tried searching for the reason behind this but to no avail. But I bumped into a similar case as this one and has also done what I did to workaround the problem.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ThilinaC:
Why don't need to sign system apk's is already mentioned in my earlier post mate.Also signing apk kills the sony sign means apk won't work/fc

"After we editing anything in them and compiling extract edited files with winrar and replace them in original apk using winrar "

otherwise most of the system apk's will fc(due to we breaking signing done by sony).This was taught to me by an advanced themer Zdunex25

problem with this framework file is we need to edit android manifest xml to get lockscreen properly working.When doing that we are breaking the proper sign did by sony unintentionally.That is why it fc.

Workaround is use a good sony sign unbroken framework and boot(so dalvik will build a cache from it).Then flash the modified SXS lockscreen framework via cwm and do not wipe anything.So dalvik will use old cache build by old framework and phone will boot ok.We are very lucky that dalvik actually do this.Otherwise I don't think we have a way to use SXS LS without having a method to sign apk's like sony devs do :/

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
True but like you said on your previous post. That's a dirty workaround. Regarding self signing system apks I was expecting it to encounter FCs also but it didn't I am currently running a custom ICS ROM deodexed by me & was also selfsigned by me using a self generated certificate using openssl from a linux machine. And so far 4 days passed and still no signs of problems here. I could even wipe dalvik cache/factory reset and modified lockscreen persists & is still working without bootloop. Try it to believe me ;)

This is a comment from a usr using arconium v4 ics

I am very eager to try this mod but lots of people are having boot loop.will it boot loop on my stock 4.0.4 cause i don't know what to do if boot loop happens to me as well.What to do if i get bootloop?do i need to again reflash while ICS 4.0.4?I don't want to loose all my data.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] boredom_bug:
Hi bootloopers !

If your Rom have /vendor/app/SemcSettings.apk

Please refer to my steps.

1. flash>setting.zip>Reboot

2.Use Rootexplore>delete vendor/app/SemcSettings.apk

3.flash>lockscreen.zip>(and reboot_op.zip)

4.flash>setting.zip>Reboot

Yeah,you get newlockscleen !

(5)Use Rootexplore>/system/app/Settings.apk move to /vendor/app

If successful, please press the thanks botton！

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] trunghieuhd93:
Thank u so much, i did it, but in setting, the Xperia disappeared, wat's wrong with this??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
That's because you just moved your settings.apk from the correct folder into a folder that's not being used by android
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] trunghieuhd93:
okay then, i just dont think it serious but i tried moving file setting back to the vendor then reflash locksrn setting,and now all the thing is perfect:good:, thank u again:D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] tijunakt:
I do that but i don't get new lockscreen.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] boredom_bug:
bootloop?

If success restart, you swipe left on digital clock.

Or go to Setting. lock screen setting is found.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AeonWorld:
If you have cwm recovery ;-) ( you should have) make a backup, or much better way is to open a copy of my first zip ( not the setting zip) and delete the files in app and framework folder and copy the original files to the respective directory in the rar by dragging the files without closing the rar that's your backup zip so if anything goes wrong u can flash just the zip and not the whole backup

The weirdest thing is, i install my rom brand new to ics 4.0.4 stock but when i flash this on my neo v it get stuck at the txt xperia :s i did different ways but nothing helped even not the framework-res.apk from thilinac's transformation pack 3, so what to do now, any help?

Im an RC, but now for real i dont even know it anymore, please help.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Riyal:
Ok I will when I get home and if no one does it for you :)

Pandemic it's not weird. It's a common problem here. The easiest solution to that is by doing this step by step.

Assuming your starting from scratch. (Skip to step 3 if you already have a working ROM)

1. Flash a clean ftf image using flashtool.

2. Power on the phone.

3. After successful power on reboot the phone into recovery.

4. Flash the lockscreen & settings.

5. Do not do a factory reset.

<--- very2x important so you won't get stuck into reboot loop.

6. Reboot your phone back to system.

7. Done.

If you do a factory reset/clear data/clean dalvik-cache in the near future while lockscreen app is installed then you'll be stuck in a bootloop.

So far the only stable mod for the Xperia S lockscreen which has 100% assurance of not being stuck in a bootloop is in my ROM. But it was made only for Xperia Pro. So 1 thing I could suggest probably is to ask some ROM cookers to unpack my ROM and create one for your device. The difference with this mod and on my ROM was I modified each and every system apk inside the ROM to be compatible with the lockscreen app of xperia S.

Hi !

I started looking into the Xperia S Lockscreen since some days,

and I tried yesterday night your files on my Arc S.

On the App side, it seams to work, I got the Settings working,

even changed its icons to the ICS ones I like ( http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/28/1342283246-Screenshot_2012-07-13-19-11-50.png )

But then, when I installed the framework files, as I always did, in odex version since I do use the SONY ICS .431 ROM,

I got a crashing boot without solutions to fix it..

Flashing my original frameworks from CWM wouldn't solve the probleme, fixing permissions either,

and having deleted all my nandroid backups just before that, in order to do a new fresh one,

I reinstalled the entire phone today ^^ (My fault, don't worry). But it's alright now, don't worry..

Thing is, I tried it again, and the same result was obtained..

Therefore, I'd like to ask if you have any idea of the why and the how.

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AeonWorld:
You need to decompile android. Policy. Jar and add and replace 2files- external lockscreen. Smali and lockpatternkeyguard from my jar to yours, and edit your framework-res with 2 lines in manifest, public and strings, search for "external" . Then put your framework. Jar ( no edit) then you'll have reboot menu or whatever mod u have, I hope that it will fix bootloop too

Thank You,

Aeon
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Thanks, I'll look into it.

After one by one tests (of course not for odex, I tested with both jar and odex..),

I found that the framework-res creates the bug...

Thankfully, Advanced Restore / System exists ;)

'll let you know, thanks.
