Tutorial on [how to] make a flashable zip ￼

Credits:

Special Thanks to google.com for teaching me ￼ :) and rishik999 for sample.zip

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REQUIREMENTS

- Any file that you want to replace or add to your phone;

- An existing (base) cwm flashable zip file. - I've attached one below;

- 7-zip, Winrar or any program which can open and modify zip files .

STEPS:

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:

(1) Download and place the base.zip (attached below) anywhere on your desktop;

(2) Right-click on it and open the archive with 7zip, winrar ... [DO NOT extract]

Now you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".

1. Let's start with the "system" one, so open it:

In there, will go all files that what you want to add or replace to the system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation.

Make a "New Floder"

-Rename its as "media" (make sure its aint in CAPS nor with in quotation marks)

-drag those two new empty folders into the /system/ folder of the 7-zip opened archive

-now simply drop the two files in their respective place: the bootanimation.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder

.. If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now.. :silly:

Hints

/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)

/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk,android.policy.jar

/system/media - bootanimation.zip

/system/lib - libraries (*.so)

2. The other folder included in the opened archive is named "META-INF" and all the file in it should be left unchanged.

Now,just place the zip into your sd card! & try your luck ￼ Of course it will work ￼

That's it !

Hihihihi...damn easy na ;) ???

Common friend ..dont be a noob ..be a newbiee ;) !!

HIT THANXXX !!

NOTE: Always backup your existing system file that you are going to replace by the patch(zip).

I've done all search BUT still can not solve out my problem.

I tried to upgrade my current ROM (1.03) to 1.60 BUT when upgrade in process; suddenly it said cannot find the device(XDAII).

At that time I took out the machine from cradle and did soft reset. And put it back to cradle to continue upgrade. And the error message still said it still can not find the device.

When I tried to enter into Bootloader mode and USE ROM on SD to restore my original ROM, BUT I tried the method mentioned in some post;

still cannot go to BOOTLOADER mode. On the screen it always said " Serial on the top.

Could anyone help me please?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] alimx:
I have the same problem..

i even tried with Qtek Rom, MDA rom... still not working.

When I turn on the xda II, it only displaying serial on top and v.1 06 at bottom.

tried to run the xdaII upgrade rom with the error :

ERROR 100 : MODEL ID ERROR 1-N-PH-PH-PH

If I try with QTEK and MDA Rom it just does nothing, or it hangs for a long time..

I have tried many times and still not working..

please anyone..

XDAII stuck in bootloader

SERIAL V1.06

nothing else ,

what can we do pals ?

no one try to help ????

please ?????

thanks

steve
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Robson:
if you have something written on the screen; such as SERIAL V1.06 then in my opinion you're still okay. do a couple of hard resets, put the unit back on the cradle and double click the upgrade file again. a lot of chaps ran into this same problem but eventually got it going again.

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] sbudiarta:
Thanks Robson..

I did that last nite , but still facing same probs .....

by the way , how to drain my batt ? just take out from the unit for 1 hour ?

and it will automatically drainned ? pls tell me ... thanks before...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ilmans:
Hope this is help...

I have the same problem b4, its frustating to see my XDA become an "expensive brick". After trying everything finally worked. What i did, after u turn on your computer plug in the cradle and also put the XDA into the cradle. Usually the computer didn't recognize it as Pocket PC, so u need to insert the companion CD to ur CDROM. After the computer install the driver, go to folder where ur upgrade file at. Click on HimaUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instruction until finish. DON'T FORGET not to disconnect the power or even take out the XDA headset from the cradle until finish. Good luck guys :D
[Xperia Z Accessories] heretic:
As some of fellow SXZ owners I have removed both front and back factory antishatter films as they were dust and scratch magnets. I was enjoying the improved clarity of the screen and premium look of the phone, but the only thing I was missing was the oleophobic coating. Well, I have ordered GLAS.t Slim, but it it will take some time to arrive, so I decided to experiment. While in the supermarket, I just sprayed a coat of some random nanotech spray car wax on the screen and buffed it with a microfiber cloth. Also I have cleaned the screen first with some glass cleaner. Well, guess what. I now have an oleophobic coating on my naked SXZ! Finger glides perfectly on the screen, prints are very easy to wipe even on jeans and smudges don't appear as easy. So I would suggest the following procedure to get a fully working durable oleophobic coating on our SXZs:

1. Use a good glass cleaner spray to thoroughly clean the screen

2. Spray a coat of nanotech car wax (comes in a spray bottle and advertises a protective coating), buff with a microfiber cloth while it's wet. Repeat 3-5 times.

3. Enjoy!

Will have yet to figure the best car wax brand for the purpose of creating a lasting and durable oleophobic coating, but for now this random stuff works wonders. Will probably buy a bottle next time I'm in the store. Will use it on my car too. ;) It's like $3 smth.

Please post what had worked best for you.

Oh, and DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for any damages you do to your phone while trying this suggested method. Proceed with caution AT YOUR OWN RISK!
[Xperia Z Accessories] adamsweeting:
Glad to see a post about this!

Today I got some turtle wax Ice liquid polish - same results as you, screen is super, super smooth - and no fingerprints. It's like having an oleophobic coating applied.

I'm impressed. I was going to get a glas.t - but now I'm not so sure I need it.

The front glass is dragontrail - not exactly easy to scratch / smash.
[Xperia Z Accessories] parapaul:
Aha! As a car geek I have TONS of this stuff in the garage! Going to give it a try later.

I will, however, try it on top of the screen protector - no amount of spray wax will stop scratches.
[Xperia Z Accessories] adamsweeting:
Good luck trying to scratch dragon trail or gorilla glass unless you're really trying to!
[Xperia Z Accessories] parapaul:
I quite like the SONY logo on the screen, so don't really want to peel of the shatterproof protector.
[Xperia Z Accessories] DarkKrypt:
Rainex anyone :thumbup: :p

Great stuff too for car windshields and phone
[Xperia Z Accessories] alexpraga:
Two questions about this:

- did you protect the mic/loudspeaker holes while applying it?

- does your phone feels slippery now, for instance when you trying to get it out of your pocket?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Accessories] heretic:
No and No. I didn't spray it all over, though. Just the center of the screen. So I guess you should use caution.
[Xperia Z Accessories] Akiainavas:
It's very easy to scratch Gorilla Glass mate... what it takes is a single grain of sand in your pocket, you won't even know you scratched it. It's not that scratch resistant...
[Xperia Z Accessories] adamsweeting:
As heretic said....

No & No.

Only applied the wax to the screen. It makes such a difference.
[Xperia Z Accessories] graffus:
Hi guys, thanks for the tip! Can you post a link or photo of an example of the spray you used for this purpose? :good:
[Xperia Z Accessories] shulmus:
Turtle wax ice window cleaning liquid with water repelling effect works great for me. Screen is smooth and slippery. The prints do catch, but seems to come off much easier.

The overall feel is pretty much the same as my htc one x's factory oleophobic coating, but maybe slightly better.

the biggest pro for this one is that it does not need any preps - just spray some on a microfiber cloth, spread on the screen and wipe with another dry microfiber. Profit.
[Xperia Z Accessories] lhurtado:
I've used 3M spray car wax.

Anyway, test whatever you use in the bottom of the phone first, just in case...

Also check the wax doesn't have an abrasive agent...
[Xperia Z Accessories] jigarpatel22:
If you can post a link to 3M car wax, will be great.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
How long does it last that's the question
[Xperia Z Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
If it's at least 30 days I'm getting this for all my devices, TV's, windows, car and if possible I'll paint it on the house!
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
any updates on how long this last?
[Xperia Z Accessories] shulmus:
Mine is still as good as new...
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
so its been a week-ish hmmm
[Xperia Z Accessories] nnhoang:
Seeing as how you already removed the shatterproof film, can you post pictures of how raised the Glas.T slim is from the edge of the Xperia Z?

I want to order the Glas.T, but chipping issues want me to stray away... If removing the shatterproof film makes the Glas.T flush with the edge, I think it might help prevent chips which would be awesome!
[Xperia Z Accessories] shulmus:
Abt 2 weeks for now. I did not post here right away...
[Xperia Z Accessories] Ussy:
Thanks for the heads up guys. Ordered myself some Turtle Wax Ice Liquid Polish. Looking forward to trying this out.

Do you reckon I can get away with waxing but keeping both the anti-shatter film and Sony supplied screen protector on?
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
if anything it keep the fingerprint out....
[Xperia Z Accessories] Ussy:
How did you apply it? I'm still getting fingerprints on my bare glass screen.

I did as the instructions recommended: first use the blue sponge to apply, wait 5-10 mins then rub with blue cloth. Did a few coatings.
[Xperia Z Accessories] tohfhu:
I haven't really removed the anti-shatter glass film, would this still work with the film?
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
try it, if it doesnt then it wouldnt hurt the phone.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
well i got some rain-x yesterday, try it and it dint work out as good as I thought, anyone got other suggestion?
[Xperia Z Accessories] wawyed:
Get a screen-protector with oleophobic coating.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
I preffer not to go that route. Never like them.
[Xperia Z Accessories] vibecatalin:
With Turtle Wax Anti Rain ( or something like that ) I see no difference. I didn't remove the antishatter film.
[Xperia Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
I dont think it suppose to stop fingerprint, it suppose to make it easier to clean..
[Xperia Z Accessories] vibecatalin:
I've only found anti rain solutions here where I live, so I guess no luck for me :). I have one bottle of Aquapel but I will use it on my car, maybe of what is left I will give it a try on my phone
[Xperia Z Accessories] wawyed:
This one should work?

http://www.turtlewaxeurope.com/prod.../05/02/turtle-wax-ice-liquid-car-polish-500ml
[Xperia Z Accessories] vibecatalin:
So I should look for a wax stuff?
[Xperia Z Accessories] iserlohn:
Yes, I used some Simoniz carnauba wax. Just put it on, wait for it to dry and then buff off. The fingerprints are much less noticeable and it wipes off a lot easier. I did it on the front screen protector and left the back as it is. You can tell the difference very easily that way. Not sure how long it last, but should be good for a month at least.

The screen has a much smoother feel and the fingers just glides over the screen. I guess any carnauba wax would work.
[Xperia Z Accessories] shulmus:
Just FGOS and FYI i'd like to say that the coating i did is still there with no additional application and no decline in effect... this makes it abt 2+ months since i applied
[Xperia Z Accessories] jai554:
I dont know which type of wax i should use... Anyone help? Thanks
[Xperia Z Accessories] Pimpmark:
Turtle wax didnt work for me as well, the fingerprints came back pretty fast. Any additional steps that I should take when buffing or applying the wax?
[Xperia Z Accessories] Aeroplane:
Careful with your experimenting....!

Make sure the waxes and polishes you use are 100% NON-ABRASSIVE !

Those 2-step cleaning process with 2 separate bottles or jars scare me because the first/second steps of the 2 or even 3 step cleaning process usually has the abrassive stuff in it.

Careful, read the product label, front and back, and make sure you only use 100% NON ABRASSIVE wax or polish.

Take care.
[Xperia Z Accessories] monsieur_debile:
Can anyone give me exact what kind of polish or wax bottle to apply it to the screen?

Car wax is too expensive :(

[HTC Wildfire S] rishr4:
Check this I am not sure if this is a CWM issue or not.

I have had the same issue with marvelous CM7. Do one thing. Format the SD card first. Then copy the Rom zip file to SD and start in recovery mode. (So that any backups or something in the SD card will be erased). Also, After clearing dalvik cache and all, before installing the ROM, power down the phone using the option in CWM. Once powered down, remove the battery, put it back and then manually go to recovery(power button+ Vol keys). Do the wipes and all and try installing the ROM again. Once this is booted up properly , check if you are getting any so-called loops ;)

MiLauncher for Tablets

​

I'm proud to announce the overhaul of the MIUI Launcher for Tablets.

It's been a very long time since I've updated the project, as when I left it, (due to not owning a tablet any more) I believed that it was working as I had intended on Tablets, sadly, as of Android 4.3 that was no longer the case.

With the release of Android 4.4 I obtained another tablet and decided to update the project. This is the result of my work, my research and the help of a few others, who will be mentioned below.

Please, provide feedback, hit thanks, and most importantly, enjoy it. Please understand that this is currently in beta, the bugs that it currently contains are all small graphical quality of life ones, and I'll be getting right on those.

As someone who is studying full time, please understand that I don't have a lot of free time, but I'll do my best to update this regularly and respond to any concerns or issues you may have.

I do not give permission for my work to be redistributed, direct linked or posted anywhere else other then XDA-developers.com or en.miui.com forums. Anyone who shares this must post a link to this thread and give credit.

Landscape Mode Only - Persistent for the moment.

Grid Sizing Options;

-6x6

-7x5

-8x5

Pretty MIUI Icons

Various Transition Effects

Android 2.3-4.4 support

Beta 1:
31st March 2014
Initial re-release
Based off MiHome 2.22.0
Resolved an issue where the launcher would not open on Android 4.3 and 4.4 devices
Not really a ton to say as of yet

They're probably a little giant, brace yourself.

Good job man, thanks for your efforts on this app.

The only thing is the default wallpaper is offset by about an inch from the top. Solved by changing wallpaper.I seem to remember that was an issue with classicnerds miui rom. Otherwise looking good!

Public Service Announcement ♥

Howdy Everyone! Zerosuit Connor here,

For the past six months I've been very unwell and without an android device, but just recently I managed to obtain another tablet and I long for the sweet taste of MIUI. That's why I'm pleased to announce that I'll be updating this project with Android 4.4 support and a few fixes, so please look forward to that.

A little under a month ago I locked the downloads, by changing the public permissions, and I put the wrong type of privacy setting on the files. Meaning, that because of my mess-up, anyone with the links could send an email through Google drive and directly to my account. Because of the high volume of emails I got, I decided to leave the links like that to see what kind of demand there still was. This was the result.

In regards to the downloads being locked, that was due to a large number of sites either; direct linking to the download, or re-uploading it. The worst part about this was that many did not give me credit, and others took the credit for themselves. All of the formerly mentioned misdoings were against my wishes, and despite what was written on my original post and numerous warnings from myself, many of them still continued. I am sorry that you've all had to suffer because of this.

Thank you for your continued support, and I'll keep you posted! Within the next 1-2 days I'll be back with a few questions about the kind of devices you own! ♥
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] Zerosuit Connor:
Updated, new overhauled version posted. Please thoroughly read the Original Post and Instructions. Thankyou.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] digitalhigh:
Hey, this is awesome! I've been a longtime MIUI user, and was actually thinking about making a port for the tenderloin...but I think I'll wait for the V6/kitkat version.

In the meanwhile...have you seen that Xiaomi has released a beta of "MIUI Lite"?

I know there's really no need for a dialer, but this could be quite handy for your purposes. :D
