[Q] Custom Theme Installation - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm just new when it comes to installing themes for rooted devices so I'm in need of your help with this concern of mine.
I just downloaded the zip file of custom themes on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459199 and with the instruction given here was so advance in my understanding.
For the requirements, it says I need these two: --Root & CWM, all I got is my phone that was rooted about 2 days ago. I would need to know on where can I get CWM and also a detailed (lay-man's term) instructions on how to install the themes on my phone.
I am in debt to you guys for the help that you will be providing.
Thank you and enjoy!

By the way, I have unlocked my bootloader too. Thanks for the help.

for the CWM just search the QA thread, for instructions, read the description on the page where you got your themes from

You need to make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then depending on what build you have on you will need this root tool

Geez guy don't you read man. You have old hboot so need to change cold.fstab file to 34 to see sdcard again. Read forum mate to find out before flashing anything. I haven't pasted any link to encourage you to read.

Restore to stock ROM

Hi everyone,
First of all I'd like to say I'm new to the wonderful world Android so please forgive me if my question is a simple one.
I'd like to know how i could revert my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i) back to the stock ROM.
I would like to do this as i recently rooted and installed a custom ROM, thinking that this would enhance my phone. It did not turn out this way and now I'm left with a buggy and less functional phone.
I know that it is custom to search the net before posting and i have done this. I believe that I am supposed to use a program called 'Odin' and i need a ROM for my phone. I have searched and searched all day for the relevant ROM but have had no luck.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if anyone could offer me any help i would be so grateful.
Thanks, Curtis.
P.S. (almost forgot)
The details of my phone are below:
Make: Samsung
Model: GT-S5830i
PDA(Don't know what this means): S5830iXXLA2
PHONE: S5830iXXLD2
[quote="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792]
If you have "bricked" your s5830i a.k.a stuck at samsung logo just download Odin and flash PDA.tar form the link.
http://www.4shared.com/file/Ls2CAsHv/PDA.html
Everything you're doing is up to you!I'm not responsible if you don't read!There's a binary counter on s5830i so be careful with flashing!

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!
The second link you provided has helped me boat loads, thanks.
I've downloaded the checkFUS downloader and managed to get the correct ROM. I then installed cygwin (with the zip component) and attempted to run the command but its throwing me the error "File In Use" but i ran the prgram "Unlocker" which checks if a file is in use and it reported that the file wasn't in use. Very confused.
Thanks again for that reply!.

How To Install CyanogenMod guide

Hi guys,
I recently bought this phone, the LG optimus 4x hd. Like appears on the title I would like to install the cyanogenmod, specifically the version 4.1.2 which is the last version of most stable, according to wiki.cyanogenmod. So the problem is that in this page wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p880 , which I think should be the right place in which see how to install the cyanogenmod, there are some part missing. Installing CyanogenMod from recovery ok, there is the guide, but there is nothing about the recovery process and I don't know if any other steps are required for the installation. The phone has got the stock rom, I have not touched anything. So I would need the guide to install the cyanogenmod in the phone with stock rom. I apologize if , like I think, this is the 20 billion time when someone asks that kind of things but I haven't find what I need. Thank you and sorry for my not best english

There are plenty of guides on here for gaining root, unlocking your bootloader, flashing recovery etc. CWM doesn't cover that stuff because they expect you to know how to do it, or be intelligent enough to search and find out.

how do i use this?

hi everyone, i am new here, i signed up to ask about this thread i saw: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717774

Installing a ROM

I don't know this ROM, but the way of installation is for all CustomRoms the same.
Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400123
The same principle is valid for your ROM.
Works also if you are using TWRP instead of CWM.
If it is the first time that you try to install a custom Rom, you should be carefull, read the whole thread to learn about the procedure!
