just extract rom you downloaded in folder xrecovery/backup on your phone,reboot your phone and when you open xrecovery go to backup and restore and choose restore...

[Q] Racht's Roms

Hi all this will look like a silly question but....
how do i install racht's roms?
´http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
They're all in Rar format, instead of zip so xrecovery can't detect the files. If i rename the files to zip it detects but fails on install.
_I know i'm still sleepy but what am i missing here?
Thanks.

extract the rar..put the extracted folder in your sd card at xrecovery/backup..
enter xrecovery and restore the folder..

uhh thanks

Thanks. I also a bit new to Xperia X8 and going flash my mom's phone.

Can't set Live Wallpapers...

I think I've uninstalled live wallpaper stock app, I want it back for my x8 don't want to reflash , plz someone upload. thanx in advance...

you can download modded stock rom from development section and take the livewallpaper.apk then push it to /system/app/
don't forget to reboot your phone

thanks +1 , but how to extract the apk from that rom ?

just extract the ROM and there will be 3 folders (data,META-INF,system)
browse to system > app folder, there's a bunch of apk files
just take the LiveWallpaperPickers.apk then push it to your /system/app/ folder on your device
let me know if it solved your problem

well that's what I'm asking, how to extract the rom ?

just download the ROM that you're using (ex : update-GingerDX.v007.zip)
extract update-GingerDX.v007.zip isn't that simple?
i attach the apk from GingerDX.v7, try it and report if it works

thanx, but i'm using stock rom, And the file you gave me earlier is working fine, I had to push it to system/app
and then install it..
thanx

No need to install,just push it to /system/app/ and restart
So it solved your problem? Good to know

well i pushed it to system/app and restarted but no luck, then I had to install it...

i wonder how it can work in eclair
because it was v2.3.5

can u please provide the link to official android 2.1 update 1 , untouched ?
can't find it,
found it but it was made using xrecovery...

Ah,most of eclair ROM provided in development section is xrecovery backup file
I'll attach the apk from eclair when at home
may i know what version of eclair that you're running?

i'm on latest eclair 2.1 update 1
okay is there a way to extract things from xrecovery files ?

here's the apk from 2.1.1.C

thanx but the file u gave me earlier is working well.

I'm uploading it to Box, and I'll link it here when it is done.

It's pieced into 3 parts, so use programs like Winzip or 7-zip and extract as normal.

[Q] Problems with Jellyblast installation

Hi!
I downloaded the Jellyblast V3 ZIP several times now. But unfortunately it's not flashable (CWM says bad). So I had a look into the Zip. It looks good, but all CRCs are null. If I try to extract any file (with WinRAR or 7-Zip, all the same) the archiv is corrupted. Any ideas what the problem is?

the file is corrupted.. redownload the zip file and try again it should work.

Tried this a couple of time and won't help. But problem now solved. I used a download manager (JDownloader) and now the CRC in the file are correct and it installs
Anyway, thanks for your help!!!
