part 2 - https://www.sendspace.com/file/vhbivc
Here are the original images, wallpapers, ringtone/notification and theme file from the Bond Edition Xperia T.
Needs root to get the actual theme installed, but can have the ringtone & notification anywhere as usual ringtones and select.
Skyfall.apk needs to be copied to 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' folder and permissions changed and reboot!

Sony changed the way the themes work on jelly bean so you can't use this one any more.
Download the new one here and put it in /system/app/ (not /vendor/overlay/framework like the old one) and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644), then reboot.

I love you.

With the help of one of your threads, I successfully flashed my firmware on my Xperia T to get rid of the O2 branding. Before flashing I copied & saved the Skyfall.apk and the tones to the memory card in the hope of pasting them back to their folders. Didn’t realise that the folder would be un-writable. Can any one give me detailed instruction on how to get the Theme back on my phone. I used Flashtool to Flash Firmware and ES File Explorer to copy files to memory card.
Thanks in advance

Check the root thread and use the latest root script to root.
Use ES file explorer and copy the skyfall.apk back to the folder it was in. (see original post)

its 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' or where the other theme.apk files are saved.

You must make the folder R/W not just R/O
You need root to do this, and then just click on the grey R/W button in top right of root explorer

white balance apk from xperia zl update 16/03

hello guys
Many of us we were disappointed by the screen z especially those who expected to see the application of calibration directly integrated.
I then extracted the rom from xperia zl
setting for white balance
saturation : 9 and hue 220
brightness bar at 75%
and checked adapt to lighting conditions
and bravia engine deactivated
with this white value is 65k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_k4G10ZcOE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Basic method
Download WB_........
Put this file into sd card
Reboot in recovery
Flash it and enjoy ( not flash this on stock recovery )
Alternative method ( thx gm007 )
1. Download the zip file in the 1st post of this thread.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Inside the WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe\system\app folder, there is a whitebalance.apk file. You need to copy this file to your phone's system\app folder. Remember to set the permissions to rw-r-r.
4. Inside the WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe\system\lib folder, there is a libdisplayservice.so file. You need to copy this file to your phone's system\lib folder. Remember to set the permissions to rw-r-r.
5. Inside the WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe\system\lib\hw folder, there is a libdisplay.default.so file. You need to copy this file to your phone's system\lib\hw folder. Remember to set the permissions to rw-r-r.
6. Reboot.
7. Go to Settings -> Display and you should be able to see the White Balance setting.

Its called bottom_bar/semc_bottom_bar_holo_dark/semc_bottom_bar_holo_light depending on your firmware.
The problem is that is controlled by the navigation buttons. The bigger the buttons the bigger the bar.
You could try making the image transparent.

Is it in framework-res.apk?

You dont delete it.
Open up framework-res,
pull out the image,
open it with an image editor,
set it to transparent or make an image that is transparent with the same name and dimensions and apply it.
There are plenty of guides around here how to apply things, there is one in the sgs2 section i created.

thanks a lot dully
it was enough modify only "semc_bottom_bar_holo_dark.png" from black to transparent
PAVNEET101
1. copy your framework-res.apk (system/framework/framework-res.apk) on your pc
2. change its extension from .apk to .zip
3. open it with, for example, winrar
4. search the image and exctract him
5. open the image with photoshop or paint.net and make it transparent
6. save it and replace in the zip file, the old image with the new image
7. change again the extension in .apk
8. copy and replace the file in system/framework/ (but first make a backup copy of original file )
9. the smartphone will reboot, but don't worry... when it will turn on, there will be a perfect lockscreen

Does the transparent image effect other apps? (ie, if apps use that image they might look bad). If not then it's great.

For the moment I haven't any problem with other apps
But I can't guarantee that there won't be...

So if you want to make the nav bar transparent which image do we have to make transparent?

[TIPS] Change fonts on XZ

Hello All,
After many tries and issues :crying: now I can make a little thread about the way to change all fonts on XZ.
I use Rom toolbox to do it.
It can be done by simple explorer with root right (ex : ES explorer => /System/Fonts), Rename the fonts you have by the name of Systems fonts you want to change.
Of course, do a back up of your system fonts first and make a system back up (with CMW or TWRP) to go back.
1) you need a font pack with one Regular, one Bold at least. An italic and bold italic can be add but i don't think it's really necessary.
It's really important to respect that because if you put a regular font instead of Bold system font, you will have bootloop.
2)Start to change the fonts :
the font which can be changed by a regular font are :
Clockopia
droidsans-bold
droidsans
roboto-light
roboto-regular
robotocondensed-regular
somaregular
somcsans-regular
the font which can be changed by a bold font are :
roboto-bold
robotocondensed-bold
somabold
the font which can be changed by an italic font are :
roboto-italic
roboto-lightitalic
robotocondensed-italic
the font which can be changed by an bold italic fonts are :
roboto-bolditalic
robotocondensed-italic
3) restart the XZ and that's all folk :laugh:
From my side I used "Sony_Sketch_EF" like a regular font and "Sony_Sketch_bold_205" as a bold font (attached it this thread and see screen shot => all the XZ has Sony font)
I also attached "BIMINI" font which is a safe font (it is in relation with your taste)

Not working for me...followed your steps and some text are missing like in settings...also forgot to backup...stupid
Also sony walkman is text big al others are good...weird
have to wait untill im home and reflash rom

ok so i tried font installer, it force closes when i click install.
i tried ifont but it doesnt work.
And i dont really understand the tutorial in the first post. do i just copy and paste the font that i want into the fonts folder? i did that and it didnt work.
im trying to change the font to Roboto like the htc One.

@iamkani and @shehabskull
you can read @funky0308 tutorial and i will modified most of the steps are correct for decompiling but to decompile zip files it pretty different procedure as you cannot modify the .9.png without knowing the bordering in order to do that take any apk as example and copy resources.arsc , androidmanifest and res folder from android.zip to that dummy apk which has meta inf folder only nothing else and copy the said files and decompile that apk than only you would be able to modify the .9.png and @funky0308 method wont work for .9 png which has bordering its actually very easy once you get used to it and u have to decompile all the zip folder in the same way else you would not have perfect and elegant modification and for normal png @funky0308 method wil work
