[Q] Clockworkmod flashing problem

Hello Everyone,
Before proceeding, I have searched my problem, but I couldnt find an answer to it.
I am basically running GingerDX v26 on Stock Kernel, and whenever i try to install (flash) via CWM, it doesnt intalls,
I came to know about this, when I was trying to flash Sound Module by CKKnot, I didnt got the installation files in my respective directories. Furthermore, i tried flashing ICSified settings, but nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong, or there is bug??
Please report me, and I will be really grateful to you guyzz!!!

What error do you get ? Try flashing another ROM. Does the ROM flash ? I had problems flashing ICS-ified settings on my GDx v27 (I finally did it)
So probably , we shared the same problem...
Or just use X8 Toolbox to re-install recoveries.

SOLVE
hello !!
please try this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507021 :good:
everythings work i test it it's owesome:good:

@Mayank77, the roms flash ONLY when i full wipe...:crying:
and this is the reason y i cannot flash some of the flashable zip files.,
PS, it completely shows me everything as normal script, but later when I locate the directory using root explorer, I dont have the files.
I noticed this when I was flashing CKKnots sound module, it related that "delete the files from soundfx folder" later when i flashed nothing was installed!! it was clean. rebooted multiple times but no chance, again i flashed, nothing happened.

You should've told the OP about the kernel requirements before suggesting him that and thus leading him to a soft brick.
I am almost sure he is on stock kernel.
and that ROM is NOT for stock kernel.

Will post an update if i find anything useful.

I rarely flash update zips.
I did have a problem with icsified settings. What i did was full wipe>flash gdx (i use v28 now), wipe again (to be safe), then flash icsified settings.
Btw my 1st post was a mistake. I was supposed to post that on a diff thread.

It's for stock odex rom.

I tried both zip, installation (via CWM or TRWP) is so fast that it seems nothing is done.
And after reboot, nothing change.

I don't get it.
You can try to push these to system/app and system/framework and see?
Maybe my flashable zip has a problem.
I'm still learning here, you know.

I'll try tomorrow.
2 questions before :
- i've got systemUI.odex, SemcGenericUxpRes.odex; i delete them ?
- which zip i use, the first one at the beginning of the topic, or the second one ?
(odex and deodex are not my cup of tea ^^ )

Both zips are the same now.
I deleted my SystemUI.odex but didn't delete the SemcGenericUxpRes.odex. I don't think it matters.
You can try. Make backup.
Any Dev out there can help look into it, will be great.
If any of you interested in my themed one, you can try this out.
http://db.tt/75zhJ5oM

So....
All operations are done by copy/paste via Es Explorer
1- remove SemcGenericUxpRes.odex and then copy of framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
2- phone automaticaly reboots
3- remove SystemUI.odex and then copy SystemUI.apk
4- FC of wiffi access point, impossible to reboot normally, the only solution was to remove battery.
5- reboot of phone, everything seems to work.
See in attached different screenshots.
First one, original screen without changes
Second one, after step 2. Icon in left touch is bigger than the other ones, icon in right touch is not centered.
Third one, after step 5. Icon in right touch is not centered, and background is zoomed.
And for me, orange stuffs and modified icons, no thanks.
I prefer stock Sony layout.

u can open the systemui.apk by .7z and find the images of "back"icon in the folder res/drawble-xhdpi
edit it by ps or fireworks to make it fit
and save it as a .png ,keep it transparent
then replace the original back icon(dont forget that there is a icon for land, it should be smallen too)
the ime icon is bigger as well so u might make it samll too
it should work coz thats what ive done:laugh:

Before trying, are there orange stuffs and modified icons like in first version ?

Try delete system.odex.
I flashed twice with the clean Rom and no problem at. Anyone has the same problem ?

I'm trying to do this mod myself. If ever I get the hang of it, I'll post a guide.
OP, did you do the one by editing the resources.arsc on vbindiff? If it is, what's the best way to see the hex difference? I'm stuck whole day the other day trying this mod as well but I cannot find the hex value that I needed to edit. Any technique on how to spot it quickly? Thanks in advance.

Xperia X8 Kernel Tweaks for Wifi Use

Hello my xperia X8 had a problem with its wifi in custom roms.
Basically it had this problem many times in the stock rom too but it could be fixed by factory reset and Sony Companion.
Anyway am currently using Ginger DX and i cant use the wifi.
I tried tweaking the modules and things but nothing .
I need an app or a way prefferably without custom kernel (because i fried my phone ones with this) to be able to use the freaking wifi
if the custom kernel is the only was so be it.
The error that i get is this when i open the wifi and got to its settings it turns on and off forever and somethimes i get the error that the wifi settings is not responding.
Thank you
If you need any info please feel free to ask.

LOL...Omg..sorry for not being clear enough..paste them in system/lib/modules and give them permissions like the way i posted in screenshot using root explorer...or you can open the .zip file of your Rom paste the libs in the modules folder and flash it again...either way hope it works~!

Thank you i did it and now waiting for it to reboot

Well it improved a bit now when i turn my wifi on it says error below the wifi next to the square

Please help i need wifi and i know that my hardware is fine now

you need wifi? reflash kernel, full wipe, and reinstall the rom, do not apply tweaks which you do not have a knowledge to apply because it can lead to malfunctions

Steps i think is needed:
1. Try to reflash LG Software 4.1.2 (see if solved. not? proceed next steps.)
2. Relock Bootloader
3. Send back to LG and hope they can solve it.
Sorry if my grammar was wrong I'm 15 and learning English.

i like the way u put it xD you havent changed anything.
"I have done some changes, remove some software i didnt use using titanium backup, freeze some apps and services too, remove some empty pastes in system directory using root explorer, install iodak kernel, install mods like sound optimization via cwm nothing more! My 4x have 3/4 months i have buying it new!"
if the kernel and mods are nothing then what ? xD especially kernel... kernel is everything. you know it could be the kernel also that caused u the problem. go read what kernel is. its the communication between software and hardware.
But ok you havent changed much

[Q] Xperia UI modifications help. [SOLVED]

Hi my name is John.
I had a account here before but it seems my account has been deleted.
when i had that account i had allot of info on how to install mods and such.
Now i have a new mobile Xperia V
I am wondering if some know where i can get a tutorial on how to flash my mobile and get mods in it.
I do not want to make my own mod just so u know so im wondering if there is a tutorial on it and if some knows a nice transparent look or something.
I really would like to get the bottom bar with transparent look and with pulsating lights on the icons like the back home and shortcut icons.
I hope some can tip me on some tutorials atleast but it would be even greater if some can say good UI styles to. I would be so thankful if some can help me. i really don't like the neutral look and lac of options in the stock versions..

- Root your phone
- Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- Install Xposed Installer
- Install Gravitybox and get more UI options you ever thought about
That will also help you to learn more about your device first. Afterwards you can still take your time and look around for some other mods that can be flashed or otherwise installed permanent.

Thanks.

connect your phone to PC
enable USB debugging on the phone
unzipp the file attached
click on install.bat and follow the simple instructions
Well you must be using a ROM otherwise you could not root your phone. It is the stock ROM I assume. I hope 4.1.2.

You need a ROM that can be flashed via Recovery in the first place. All ROM developers will tell you in their opening thread about the requirements. Some require flashtool, mostly those that work with unlocked bootloaders. Some require a Recovery, usually those that work with locked bootloaders (these work with unlocked BL, too).

The file u attached is called CWM4XperiaT not CWM4XperiaV
and if you don't believe me that you can root with a FTF file then i can upload it so u can test yourself..
how i did it was used flashmod in flashtool and then sellected the ftf file called LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Nordic.ftf
after that i flashed a kernel with Fastboot called LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf
then i just used the tool root device in flashtool and then i got root..
now my problem is that i dont have any recovery like TWRP or CWM
ive done a new question thread asking for help on how to get it..

Install the CWM attached. Wow. Anyway, up to you.
