4. Download a free tool Paint.net (google...its free for windows).
5. Patience is required only once then onceu r done..u'll remember all on fingertips
- Make two separate folders and copy icon files in one.
- Open the downloaded zip file with winrar and extract the contents to another folder (do not mess around with original zip always make a backup copy)
- In extracted files you will have three folders
data
meta-inf
system
- open system then app u will find htclockscreen.apk ..Extract this file in different place so that u can view it separately.
- when you have extracted htclockscreen.apk (winrar can do it) go to folder htclockscreen.apk>res>drawable-hdpi folder.
6. Now you will see all the icon files used by lockscreen.. And you will easily identify the icons used by me in my lock screen.(screenshots)
7. Now either use your own collection or the demo icons provided by me open each file you want to edit with paint.net and edit the file as per your
requirement and play around with icons as you like.
8. Now u have a new set of icons in drawable-hdpi folder.
9. Important
Open the lalit lock.zip (do not extract jst keep clicking in winrar in sequense
lalit lock.zip>system>app>htclockscreen.apk>res>drawable-hdpi
copy the icons you edited here via drag and drop (do not destroy the directory or file structure)
10. Let it recompile zip if it asks.

as our friend said, the procedure is that easy, and that was complete, just for making your burdun a bit lighter, this is link for that explorer you need at the last step
wish you luck bro
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext...xt2explore-2.1.65.zip/download?use_mirror=dfn
hoping to make a stock based rom for LT30p so we can keep the polished stock rom, with maybe some nexus look-a-like xp I'll see
No need for the ext2 explorer.
Once you have dumped the data in flash tool just use that ext4 file as the working file for your Rom in dsixdas kitchen
Sent whilst sat on the toilet.
I put the system.ext4 in the original update folder , but still get this: Ensure there is at least one ROM under the 'original_update' folder!

Make sure you read the instructions in the kitchen OP and post 2
Sony Xperia 2011-12 devices, specifically:
- TX, P, U, Sola
- Active, Arc, Arc S, Mini, Mini Pro, Neo, Neo V, Neo L,
Play, Ray (follow steps below):
- Can only build ROM without boot.img
- If using stock FTF for kitchen:
1) Unzip FTF file, extract the system.sin
2) Dump system image from system.sin w/ Flashtool
(Advanced-> SIN Editor)
3) Rename dumped file to system.img
- OR If using Nandroid backups: Rename system.yaffs2.img to system.img
- Use this system.img in kitchen's original_update folder
- WARNING - If using a ROM made from system.sin (not Nandroid), it
is recommended to flash from the temporary (fastboot) Clockwork
Recovery, rather than the regular Clockwork Recovery, otherwise
device may not boot (possibly because custom recovery files in
system folder are not added to ROM? e.g. recovery.tar).

Hi guys, I want to extract a flashable zip from stock firmware of XT1060... I followed the instruction from this post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387941
but I get nothing in the system folder after I extracted it, and the kitchen gave me an error
