The 3rd post of that thread says:
Retail Arc Timescape LDPIv1 for LDPI/smaller screens download (Installer) (Uninstaller)
1.you press installer and you download the .zip file...
2.copy the .zip file to your SD card
3.boot into xRecovery
3.Install custom.zip

Good one,if possible i can remove things i do not want like launcher pro (so i can upgrade myself to plus,not possible now in a rom i use)
yup.. its possible... i changed my launcher pro to the plus version... u will need a program which can modify it.. i used 7zip file manager...
u can get it at ( http://www.7-zip.org/ )
cheers..
thx im testing it right now

Ah that works......
And afterwards?
Can i just remove the apps in the apps folder?
And place my apps in?
Or do i also need to edit a install config file?
And how to zip it back like the original?
Thx
i tested removing apps and everything is cool need to test adding apps
7zip ask u if u wanna rebulid it and ure Done
Aha,zipping back to tar.gz can be done with this one:
http://www.gzip.org/ free .
Going to test now,removed all thing i do not want,and put in my own programs....let's see if it works,report asap.
This will work... you just need to be careful what you remove since you may end up with an unbootable android OS (boot loop) ... of course that's the beauty of the dual boot... you just copy a fresh android folder over and start again

do i need to rename it to tar.gz?
7 zip makes a .7z from it
I think i got it.
Just zipped with 7zip,placed that file on gz converter.
Removed only apps i do not need,and add my own,test now.
no just open htcleo_update.tar.gz
u will see htcleo_update.tar open it too
remove the apks close 7zip
its will ask u do u want to update the archive
wait till its finished u will see temp file
ok that works,altough i can not add apk files
adding apk not working ?
its gives error at first boot ?

No,misunderstand.....removing with the method from you works,it is booting now and installing.
What i meant to say is add my own apk files in that way,but 7zip says when i want to add my own apps: nor supported. (srry english not so good)
Ok,does not work...
I only removed launcher pro,notting else....
Android boots,but when almost on home screen setup crashes.....
i removed same wallpapers and email gmail and some more didnt got error
try another htcleo_update.tar.gz with normal launcher too
im testing now with adobe flash and same more removed
the flash didn't installed successfully
browser still need the plugin

Yep correct,but i do not know how to add it?
Removing other apps works with 7zip like flashlight,voicerecording etc.
But when i try to add files with 7zip it says not supported.

[Q] How to install FroyoBread

Hi, i'm Franco, from Argentina, and, i'm new at the forum, as you can see, *the rest of the boring intro i'm gonna skip it*
I don't want to bother with an stupid question, but im really a newbie with this SP stuff...
My noob question is... How can i install the froyobread rom? (as seen on the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079463), looking that the files, are all updates, not the system (AS I CAN SEE). I'm allready rooted, with the xrecovery and all, but i'm stuck with this.
And an added question..., How can i update the rom? Having the base rom (older version installed).
Thanks for reading, and excuse me for my noobsness , and my bad English
1. Copy downloaded .zip to sdcard
2. In xrecovery select full wipe (factory reset), then select install custom zip => choose custom zip from sdcard => select downloaded file
Instructions is in first post in FroyoBread thread already
You can update firmware with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service), PC Companion or with FlashTool
I see that, but there is no need to be a system.img, a nanodroid.md5, or something like that?
Here i can only see 2 folders, i .rar them and pass it to the sd?
Tnks 4 the reply
No. Don't extract it. Just copy update-FroyoBread.v006.zip to sdcard and follow instructions
Many thanks pal!
Its a dream this rom...
Asking another thnig, and trying to not open another topic
There is timescape as an app to install? I read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11904220&postcount=3
And i really dont understand a thing, if someone can help i will be very greatefull
Flash the installer zip just like you flash the ROM zip.
Many thanks to both.
Another question, if i can (REALLY SORRY), i try tu use the search, but i didnt find anything usefull.
I have my system folder full (only 52kb free), and i need that space to install the timescape from the xperia arc thread, there is something useless, in the folder to get some space?
Move your apps (not the system ones) to SD through settings->applications. And as for deleting... I've deleted mms.apk, maps.apk, street.apk and adw launcher (can't remember the name), but I already had other home and sms apps installed.

Xperia X10 not recognizing APKs as APKs ?

I was in another thread trying to figure out how to install xRecovery and I'm starting to think that the problem is that my phone isn't recognizing the apks as apks. Has anyone else had this problem? It only recognizes the xRecovery file as a .zip and so I can't use the installer to install it.
Why you don't just use flashtool to root and install xRecovery? That's much easier.
bro why dont you try renaming the .zip to .apk it works!try it!

I was hoping to not have to mess around with something else but I guess I will give flashtool a shot
you can always use Manual method,
just extract and copy these three files (busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) from xrecovery.zip or xrecovery.apk to your Phone/system/bin directory, using root explorer (with r,w, rights)

You had to change to name of the .zip to .apk with a file manager on your phone. Maybe you had a setting turned on on your pc that prevents from displaying file extension.

i tried that and that didn't work. now i'm starting to think something is up with how my computer handles these .zip files though...now i'm trying to download install the .ftf file from this thread and when i put that file directly into the firmware folder in flashtool it doesn't recognize it as a .ftf file (and its listed as a .zip file when i download it)...this is frustrating the bajeezus out of me

ya know what, i'm not even sure right now since i've done so much ish to this dang phone in the past day lol i did figure out that i had to change the settings in windows to not hide the extensions of known file types so that i could change the .zip to .apk. Since I had already installed xRecovery I don't know if that would have solved the problem but I'm assuming it would have. Thanks for your help everyone!

Official Theme and Customization Thread for Runnymede AllInOne by Sebastiaan15

Hey everybody,
Because the original ROM thread for Sebastiaan15's amazing Runnymede gets flooded and spammed with theme-related questions, themes and problems to skins and customization, it has been suggested to start a new thread to discuss all these things in one place.
So let's do this here and feel free to share and participate
How to change themes, ready to flash themed ROM-zips and various themes can be found in 3rd Post on this site Enjoy!
I've also tested several kernels with AIO 2.2 and published the results here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19514860#post19514860
Good idea, keeps the other thread cleaner.

Don´t flash the zips from the desire hd threat
Flashable Theme.zip´s now availabel. Look on bottom of the post !!!
--------------------------------------------------------
Include theme into Rom.zip:
1. Download the ROM zip file.
2. Download the desired theme
3. Move the files from the zip theme to the ROM zip:
a. /system/app to /sd-ext/app_s
b. /system/framework to /sd-ext/framework_s.
4. Copy the NEW ROM in your SD and flash it like a new ROM.
On STOCK Hboot is the framework on system and app_s on sd-ext
With 7zip you can easily open the zip files without extracting and copy the new files into the rom.zip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Include theme after Rom flashing:
You can adb them in, or put them in the rom before you flash.
Or you can use QtADB, if you are not so familiar with adb or have your rom allready configured,
there you have an explorer and you can easily change the files after flashing.
1. Boot to recovery (volume down & power) and mount your sd-ext/system folder, depends on Stock/Cm7r2 HBoot.
2. Use QtaDB to copy the files to your device. Doing this form recovery is saver then from running device.
you get QtADB here http://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/
You may have to give the new files the rigth permissions, same as the old files have, if you copy them into the booted device.
Use Root Explorer and long press on the new files.
Then you can change the permissions otherwise your rom crashs.

Flash a Theme.zip:
1. Download the Theme.zip from THIS page
2. Push somewhere on your sd-card.
3. Boot to Recovery.
4. Choose install from sd-card.

WHATS IT CM7R2 HBOOT USERS
--------------------------------------
Dont flash the zips from the desire hd treat
download the theme
unpack it with winrar
you see files and folder in it
example:
theme zip has a file in system/framework folder
your rom has the sd-ext/framework_s folder
take the files from the theme (system/framework/)
and put does files in sd-ext/framework_s/
for apps the same and so on.......enz...
you can adb them in
or put them in the rom before you flash
or you can use QtADB, if you are not so familiar with adb or have your rom allready configured,
there you have an explorer and you can easily change the files after flashing.

If you are going to do a fresh install just download a theme.zip, unzip it and copy the files from the system\framework\ folder into the sd-ext\framework_s\ folder of your rom.zip.
Do the same with the stuff from the system\apps\ folder to the sd-ext\apps_s\ folder.
Then just flash it as usual.
If you already have a ROM installed, just push the according files into these folders. I guess using Root Explorer might work, too.
But havn´t tried either.

On Stock Hboot the frameworks folder is still in system, but the apps are in sd-ext/app_s. So you can´t flash the .zip files, you´ll have to move the apps to sd-ext/app_s.
If you take a closer look into the theme.zip and the rom.zip you´ll now what to do.

One more thing which is scratching my head...
How is this possible to just put only TWO file instead of META INF, SYSTEM, DATA etc.. into ROM's framework and get complete THEME..
If a theme.zip is completely used to flash then how is this possible with just two files...
NULLINGER??? got some idea?????

It should look like this in the framework_s folder
this is my themed v5.0 framework folder
And if you wish to have the apps themed as well , you have to put the apps from them folder system/app -----> sd-ext/app_s
This should work
Edit: In OtADB you have 2 explorers, one shows your system and the other your phone.
You can drag & drop files from system to any folder on your phone.

In framework_s folder are only files no folder this is right, replace the existing files with the files from the theme
