Step 1:
The first thing you need to do is to launch the Ext4 Unpacker software and then you need to select the open button.

}
Step 2:
Select the system.img you want to extract.
Step 3:
Press the "Save as EXT4" button.
Step 4:
Select where you want to save the .ext4 file and enter a name with the extension .ext4, then press Save.
Step 5:
Wait while the ext4 image is being unpacked.
Step 6:
Launch the ext2explore software as a Administrator (Do that or it wont work!) and then select File then Open Image.
Step 7:
Select the file you saved earlier with Ext4 Unpacked software and then select "Open".
Step 8:
Now highlight the file you just have imported in EXT2Explore and then press the "Save" button.
Step 9:
Select where you want the unpacked system files to be placed.
After that is done just go to the folder and voila! The android system files should be in the folder.

As a (Linux) alternative, the (Google/Android) supported method based on use of a Linux OS is here and here - using the simg2img and mkuserimg.sh scripts.

If you are using windows vista or above select with the secondary button - troubleshoot compatibility. Maybe that could help.

Hello I just edit the framework-res from Redy's 2.3.4 V20N Repacked ROM to enable the CRT screen off animation.
Instructions:
1- Backup your data, if you do something wrong, you can end on a bootloop. (not good )
2- Download the modified framework-res and copy it to your SD card
3- Mount /system in RootExplorer as "rw"
4- Copy framework-res to /system
5- Set permissions to framework-res (the one on /system) as shown in the image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6- Move framework-res to /system/framework and replace the existing file
7- Finally reboot.
Modified framework-res

wow. works like a charm
note: i'm using es file explorer. at step 6, my phone automaticly reboot itself. so there is no need to step 7 for me.
Is there a way to activate a menu option for this? You know, like in CM7, to be able to enable/disable easily.

You cant copy directly framework res to system app.If you do phone will be restart and bootloop.You have to put flashable zip with cmw.

Did you set the right permissions to framework-res before moving to /system/framework
You can use SmartFlash Tool to fix the bootloop

QuikIMG
A small tool I made to flash .img files through fastboot easily and quickly, without the need to type in commands manually. Originally I only made it for personal use but I decided to release it here. Someone might find this useful.
Q: FlashTool has this feature. Why bother?
A: Just because I can. Use whichever you prefer.

You can also open the CMD in the fastboot directory, type:
Code:

Then drag the .img from your download folder to the CMD window and it will enter the full path for you (with quotes if required).

Hey, nice work!
Did you replace old CWM with the new 6.0.3.1?
If not, this could be an option
No i didn't :/
Can you give me a link?
I'll add it tonorrow in next version

Phil @ DHYMusic
Suggestion: make this application download updated files from some server.
Example:
Client Side
versions.xml
Code:
<toolbox>
<file>
<name>ClockWork Mod Image File</name>
<version>6.0.3.0</version>
</file>
<file>
...
</file>
</toolbox>
On every application start, check all file versions. If new files are available, download and replace them with the new ones.
Server Side
versions.xml
Code:
<toolbox>
<file>
<name>ClockWork Mod Image File</name>
<version>6.0.3.1</version>
<download>LINK_TO_SOME_ONLINE_STORAGE</download>
</file>
<file>
...
</file>
</toolbox>
I can help with coding.
Please write me a PM, cause i don't know implement that :/

If you want to root your phone, go to recovery mode (turn off --> push volume down button + power button, don't release until recovery mode start), select adb sideload, connect your phone tp your pc, then selec root in AiO.

short guide ,
1. First, extract ftf file using winrar / 7zip , you just need system.sin ,
2. open flashtool - > Tools -> Sin Editor - select system.sin - > Extract data,
3. You will get system.ext4 file.
4. Using ext2xplore you able to view and extract file from there . (file attached)
Hope its help. & Happy Modding

#Ever wondered if you can customize your Android phone's bootscreen just like you customize its theme? Not by downloading a custom bootscreen but by making your own...? Well, now you can.
Just 5 steps and your phone will be flashing your own custom made boot screen. But before we get der, lets have a look at the things you will need:
Requirements:-
> A video editor (I use Windows Movie Maker)
> A Video converter which supports Video to JPEG/PNG (I use EM Total Video Converter)
> A photo converter which supports batch converting( I use PhotoScape )
> Winrar
> Any video (You can download Video loops here OR here and also here)
> PATIENCE (Very important)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$teps:-
$tep 1:-
1) Edit your video (add text, effect etc..) and convert it to JPEG or PNG images (PNG is recommended).
my micromax 57 {Ninja A3 }takes around 10 secs to boot. So 300 Images are enough (if you have extra, den delete it. Max 400)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 2:-
2) If you have converted the video directly to PNG, then change the resolution of pics to 320x480. If JPEG, then convert the JPEG pics to PNG and change its resolution to 320x480)
(In photoscape>Batch Editor>Add pics>Crop the pics to 320x480 resolution>rename it to follow a series. for eg. Image001, Image002, Image003, Image004 etc.. See the following image)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 3:-
3) Now comes the easy task. Rename the folder in which you have all the converted pics from step 2 to "part0" without quotes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 4:-
4) Almost there. open notepad and add these lines:
Code:
320 480 29
p 1 0 part0
and save it as "desc.txt".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 5:-
5) Last Step. Select both files (part0 folder and desc.txt) and right click>add to archive (Archive should be in zip)
Name it as : bootanimation.zip
Archive format: Zip
Compression method: Store
Ok.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Testing time. Put the bootanimation.zip file in system/media/(here). Do change the permission to 644.
OR
On cmd, type these codes (open cmd in .android folder and make sure you have your bootanimation.zip file in dis .android folder)
Code:
adb devices
(when it shows your device)
adb root
adb remount rw
adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/bootanimation.zip
adb shell chmod 644 system/media/bootaniamtion.zip
adb reboot
THATS IT...!!!!
