[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zm4:
You did not follow steps correctly...

Follow the additional steps for god sake because you have -rwxr- and you need to have -rwsr-...

You need to have your handset with you so you can tick the super user permission.

I am not sure, did you have your phone connected via USB storage?

Also did you run it as administrator.

And are you running 2.1? Also I recommend re-rooting using the new 2.1 root.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dickwei:
when i run it as administrator it comes out with ( yes i'm using 2.1 root )

For automated permission detection you can you use these lines:-

@adb shell ls -l /system/bin/sh > check.txt

@echo FIND "-rwxr-xr-x root" check.txt

Error in step 3 may caused by.

1. Wrong file structure or missing files, make sure that the depot files are in the structure as it should and all files are exist.

2. SD-card is mounted, do not let the X10 mount SD-card.

You need to have your handset with you so you can tick the super user permission.

sorry, but i bit confused. what you mean handset with me ? where i have to tick super user permission?

I just follow the step and type SU and getting Permission denied. There is nothing to tick on the phone.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zm4:
Your not rooted then.

You need to have super user permissions.

ok. now i did it, but after my phone is restarting at Sony ericsson. still restarting.

How do I get to boot loader menu? Some Key combination?

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] curious_yellow_eyes:
Ok, so the task I set myself for today,was to install a theme from the terminal on my Linux box, which I did successfully.

I was doing it as a puzzle so I'm only now looking at the threads. A few things I discovered... you can use root explorer to set the r/w permissions. This may make it easier for those who have difficulty with this part. Deleting the 'unknown' app (which is your computer) from superuser may help you connect. I don't know why? It just seems to prefer virgins for some reason ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Crocketeer:
Followed the direction, worked great!

Gotta love Chewitt's work.

Ok, I got passed by the ADB thing. But, I could only get passed by it by using NOT administrator opening the file.

But when I was done with step 5, it rebooted my phone into an endless reboot. It kept rebooting. So what did I do wrong? I comepletely followed the steps!s D

It says when executing step 5 'device not found'. This happens just a sec after my phone reboots into an endless reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Blackvibes:
I tried the method two times. I had to reflash my phone, so I could use it again. Please tell me how I get past this problem please!

And it's weird. When I use it without administrator rights, It does finds ADB, if I use it with administrator rights, it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, etc..

can I use these steps for installing below theme by replacing that theme with this one?! :D

when i get to step 2 in installing the file, it says "adb is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" what am i doing wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zm4:
If you go into the Second page or third page...

You will see my post where I have already installed the theme using Chewitt's Dark Bar installer.

I have given the download link for the modified Chewitt's Dark Bar Installer.

Full credits to Chewitt for the installer.

When doing step one...if you have -rwxr- you need to have -rwsr-...

And instead of typing 2 and pressing enter you need to follow the additional steps.

OKay..so i got past the device not found...it turns out it was the USB hub that was messing with it. Anywayz, I had -rwxr. When typing "su" in the additional steps, it says permission denied. My phone is rooted because I have titanium, busybox, metamorph installed and all these require root access. Please help as I want this theme really bad...

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] air_plane_man:
I'm still getting the device not found error...

Can someone post some step-by-step instructions? I've tried a bunch of different things and none seem to work..

Does SEUS have to be running or something? Why does it need to be installed? (I do have it installed).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zm4:
You need to have super user permissions installed on the phone.

SU stands from SUPERUSER...

The command is basically there so that you can grant the super user permission from your phone(handset).

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Rubin85:
Hi guys. i've got problem with Permission.

when i type $ su its show me "Permission denied"

how to fixed that problem :> phone is rooted
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Blackvibes:
Remcyl, which theme are you using? I had this problem too. It solved when I used an other theme. I was using Dark Royal, which was ONLY for OS version 1.6 while my phone was running 2.1.

Currently only 2.1 phones can use Dark10, not an other. If you are using Royal, or the other ones (except the black one) do not proceed any further and change your mind. OR go for full black version, this one works with 2.1.

If not the case, good luck!

See my reply to Remcyl

Have you installed busybox? You must have busybox installed (found on the market ) and opened the app. It will install Super user. This will grant Super User ( SU ) So you can edit your phone further more.

When you type $ SU in the CMD box, you have to check your mobile and click on something like 'Grant superuser / Grant SU'. Then you can proceed further.

To everyone: Post your questions in the original topic by Chewitt, by doing this you will get a MUCH quicker reply to your problems/questions about installing and the themes themselves.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zm4:

It doesn't matter because it basically replaces the framework-res file...

I have same issue as you on the step 5. I followed the step 7 to change rwxr to rwsr and retest the step 1, it shows rwsr on my phone so I started to follow the step 2 and on, until finished the sept 4, the phone started showing problem on screen and ask for force close (none stop showing even I click to force close), if I ignore this message and keep go on step 5, then the phone restart by itself and has loop. I tried to flash the phone several times and it always stock on step 5.

Can anyone help about this situation?

I had the same problem. What I noticed to be different from 1.6 was when connecting to a PC you get prompted with 3 options ... make sure you select Option 3 "Charge" (not Install PC Companion or Connect to PC). After that the process went smoothly.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] noodl3baka:
I am getting the ADB error as well. I've made sure my phone isn't mounted, and the only time the installer does not give me the error is when I don't run it via Admin. However, if I do that, I have to reflash my phone.

Rooted the phone via z4mod 1.3, btw.

Bah, just realized I didn't input my situation.

During step 1, when the install is checking for permissions, it gives me the ADB message rather than the -rwxr- or -rwsr- prompts if the install is started as admin.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] hymns:
Just a my little tip

Windows 7

Version 2.1

Rooted

Connect usb cable to phone make sure screen not unlocked. (Pick #2 PC Compion). Then on phone screen disable storage under notification / do not mount storage. If you have already mount, please UNMOUNT.

1) Run the installer w/o administrator right (or you will get 'adb not recognized' - it work for me)

2) Then enter 1

3) Then enter 7

(follow command till exit command)

after that follow all the guide zm4 till the end...

Hi,

if you get the following error " *abd is not regconize " you can simply do the following

1- open the "Dark10 Series Installer.cmd" with a wordpad

2- replace "adb" with "adb.exe"

Basically, you need to add the file extention.
