Use the Flashtool to extract .sin files to .ext4 and then ext2explorer to unpack the files you got by using flashtool.

If u try to manually replace system files like systemui, ur fone wil go in endless bootloops. Its safer to flash making a flashable .zip
If ur having trouble making a .zip file den i can help u.

Download Deodex Files.rar from attachment. Extract it. Make a folder named system. Add ur deodexed /app & /framework folder inside. Copy xbin folder & build.prop file from d extracted file & paste in system(Pic 2). Copy meta-inf folder outside system.(Pic no 1)
Use winrar to .zip it & flash.

Xperia T - Bond Edition (Skyfall Theme)

part 1 - https://www.sendspace.com/file/mzq5qi
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!
Thanks to JJD809 who kindly provided the Bond content.
If preferred anyone with a mediafire account could add this content as sendspace link will not last forever.
UPDATE:
TiMiN8R said:
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)

just change the extension to .apk
or, even better, use winrar or winzip to extract the files and move them manually

just a note...it might NOT be the system/app folder...
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

Try this for decrypting the files to signed image form, however Sony might have changed encryption method: http://justdanpo.cheb.ru/data/projects/gsm/emmaextract.rar

They are already UNCRYPTED! i am not fool to post crypted stuff, they come from EMMA and yes Sony changed SIN format - so developers do something new (sin2img) - you have a chance to have all tools ready before Phone hit the market.
Can't try this myself right now, but should do the trick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834081
EDIT: I have been able to extract the files, I was so stupid
I should have known I should have done bundle creation first with flashtool
- Unless someone can tell me how to find the XZ loader.sin file?
EDIT2: Still same issues, and about the emmaextract, it does nothing. I'm probably using it wrong.
- And how big is Xperia Z system partition size? 2GB or not?
There is no loader in the packages. PavelX1 didn't upload it.
