Oh, I see. You are a new user...
Well, the rom will be pre-rooted and have recovery after building it, even if you don't make any changes on it. What modifications do you want to make?

Hmm... My knowledge in this part is not good enough (specially on ubuntu) and I may mislead you.
So in this case, the creator of thread ( [NUT] ) may help you. I hope that he will see this thread...

oki thanks ^^

I think you can more or less change all. But the problem here is the knowledge.
How do I add options in Settings? How do I customize the Ui? etc.
That what you look for needs a bit of knowledge in modding etc.
Here are some links which maybe can help you to customize a ROM:

First knead, then bake.

Yeah.. no way to root without having an unlocked bootloader for the time being
this ain't working.. no superuser; no root!
The binaries are present, download the Super user app, if you have wiped while flashing the ftf file.

Sorry but my Xperia Arc won't boot after flashing this.
So I flashed the stock ROM with Flashtool, and I applied root later via recovery.

IF YOU EXPLAIN HOW TO "DO IT RIGHT" IN THE OP THEN PERHAPS PEOPLE WONT POST SUCH THINGS IN YOUR THREAD.
The first post does not explain the issue of the "missing" superuser which may confuse some people.
Please update the op to include detailed instructions.
Please also refrain from posting requests in the Dev section and then creating a new thread for the files once you have them.

It's not my problem at all.....
If he's going to post files then he has to at least make sure people are aware of the issues they may experience when attempting to use them.
MY problem is keeping these forums tidy and organised....
The reason for my post is that even once the issue was raised the OP made no attempt to enlighten anyone as to why or help them. That is not what XDA is about.

[STOCK FIRMWARE] Xperia T 7.0.A.1.303 FTF [UK O2 Branded / Bond Skyfall Theme]

This is the original stock UK O2 firmware for the Sony Xperia T LT30p, version 7.0.A.1.303. Thought id share it as have not seen any firmware around yet in this section. This was pre-installed on my device when I purchased it. Feel free to mirror / extract etc.
This was recently signed on PTCRB:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/09/28/xperia-t-and-xperia-tx-firmware-pops-up-on-ptcrb/
I used the following guide to generate it, so it is completely stock:-
http://mytechencounters.wordpress.c...eate-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/
[Root Instructions]
Download the latest flashtool, 0.9.7.0 as of the 28/09/2012, ensure you have the required drivers installed
Connect your device as normal via USB
Select Tools-> Root -> Force AdbRestore hack and follow instructions, remember to actually select restore from your phone
[Download Link]

Thanks to:-

Does this have the Bond theme? I never made a backup of mine when i flashed Stock.
Yes
This includes the Bond / Skyfall theme, bare in mind it will also have the o2 start up and shut down splash animation.

Apologies...didnt realise there was a all in one thread. lets keep the link here as the title is about the O2 Bond edition and you could have the link there too.
Thanks to JJD809 who kindly provided the Bond content to me sometime back.
Skyfall Content
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!

OK, I hadnt realised you had just extracted the theme. I though it was a non branded ftf with the skyfall theme. I am not linkinh any themes and apps to the all in one thred as that becomes to much.
It will just be better to upload that to mediafire and share it, otherwise your dropbox account may get banned for over use.
I suggest you share it in the themes and apps section.

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

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

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

Btw, do you know how to flash the kernel by fastboot?
I have a C6603, so I don't know if the method is the same, but it should be.
To flash the boot.img, put the boot.img in the same directory as fastboot, then use -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
Of course, only use a kernel that is compatible with your device

How to add extra volume steps?

Hi i bought this new phone and i want to add extra steps at the media audio. With my old phone I used this instruction: http://chrisdube.com/increase-number-of-volume-steps-in-android/
My Z is rootet and I tried to change the lines in the framewort.jar File. But it is not possible to Baksmali it.
Is this method only possible on deodexed Roms and is there a chance to change this?
Thx for an answer
