the way i did the JACxROM 1.3 a while back was by grabbing a theme template by cyanogen and looking at what files it contained .. then I grabbed the rom and deleted all the files that werent necessary and voila you have a template

OK!,this is what I was going to try right now. Thanks, for your help

failure at line 5: run_program backuptool.sh backup
Any tip?

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over

Well I can, now stop yealling. First you should thanks for the new rom, then you should ask if it is possible to put it on some other mirror, or explain happens when you click link, since megadownload is obviously not working for you. It might be blocked by your ISP.

WELL..I AM NOT!!TO TALK ABOUT THESE I HAVE TO TEST IT... I AM SORRY FOR THAT.... i hope it will be nice.. !!! !! have you test it? is it the original?

Is it rooted already ?

Uploading was made after 30 minutes, may be a problem from megaupload, but will soon go. I personally have tried to download before you post here and well downloaded

i cant root it.. when i choose the zip it says to me that its bad......any ideas?

so is ready to root

is original, only a few changes were made, which does not affect its

i cant download it to... speed of downloading is 4 KB/s 4h 40min... somenthing is wrong...

@bestdaniel20:
I don't get it guys?? Why are U so eager to make a threads before you make things available??
Prepare it, test it, upload it, test dowoading it, make screenshots and only after that make that new thread! And that goes to everyone! There's no need to tease ppl.

I do not understand why you talk like that. screensots were made after I tested, because otherwise I could not do screenshots, I did upload to megaupload, then I downloaded the first time. What should I do? I posted not for money, I wanted to give to anyone who wants one more beautiful than the classic rum

No disrespect m8 but I see some cooks are starting threads way before they upload their stuff. That way they just tease other hungry ppl.
Anyway, nice shots.

I also want many things, but dont get them. Next time you ask for something, be more polite or noone will help you at all. Did you google or search for it? I think you havent! So i want you to do so. Then you ll find a step by step guide made by me. It's very basic, but there are more guides around. Now have fun searching

i am in trouble with updater script.
after flash rom, it boots but wifi or stg else dont work.
what should i do for correct updater script.

Upload it somewhere, so anyone can have a look at it. Maybe you just deleted needed files or took a wrong updater-script

You are not supposed to change the updater-script at all! I already updated that in the Build How To. Simply take one from another ROM and it should work fine Kitchens updater-script is not compatible with our device. Maybe dsixda will update it once

i know
it is great for htc phones
but one thing
i like singapour v20 roms
other roms updater scripts work fine with v20f and before...
but v20g and v20h dont. it has bugs.
wifi gives error
fcs with system apps etc.
i think something changed after 20f
and i tried latest v20 roms
they have bugs too
such as tantrums made this fail (i think)
he made 20h flashable zip
but it has same bugs which i have
can you look into this?
it is tantrums's rom

And you made data, cache and dalwik wipe before flashing it? Be sure to make it, otherwise it will NEVER work properly...

Here's a guide to cook a rom:
1-Download any rom you want
2-Put it on your phone
3-Boil some water and throw your phone into it.
P. S. This is the fast way.......
The slow way needs a little bit more effort, like finding the manuals and actually read them
(sorry, just couldn't resist)

yes..

Just taking a previous updater script won't always work. You need to edit it manually. The format is very readable and straight forward.
Look at a nandroid from the ROM your using to look at symlinks,permissions etc.

For xperia series... I own a xperia u
There are several mods bt require individual replacement of files and changing of permissions
I intend replacement of a system app wid the new app
Regarding second question of mine
Is it possible to have cwm recovery that can work without switching off the device ( make a nandroid backup takes a lot of time in my xu almost 20 minutes during which the network is off)

What you should do is download a theme for the xu and just leave the META-INF folder in the theme.zip alone and edit the rest of the folders to your liking.

Not really. Just use 7zip. The Apks are the ones that usually need to be signed. As long as you use the original theme.zip you would download and just replace apks inside you shouldnt have any problems

There is a guide that covers edify scripting. That should help you make an update.zip yourself from scratch.

Writing an update script from scratch is not only time consuming but also risky.If you don't know what you are doing, then you should stay away from writing it from scratch

[req]flashing build.prop

i somehow messed up a bit while trying to apply some mod that required a build.prop editing and i ended up making a backup which contains the edited build.prop file and now facing bootloops
my device is a stock deodexed rooted Xperia V .140

can anyone please help? im a total noob at doing this stuff, so technical languages might not work with me..

i did
and this was the mod i talked about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421770
you were the last one to post there though
or maybe i really didnt mess up the build.prop, but rather somewhere else?

You have 2 options mate:
1)Flash ftf file
2)Since you are able to enter in cwm, download a deoxeded and prerooted rom (or a custom one) for your device, transfer it on your phone and flash it. (you will have to wipe personal data, cache,dalvik cache)
