Sounds like ftf file is not in the right format, or you put the ftf somewhere other than firmware folder. Heard some people saying that some of the links download a zip file. If it's a zip file rename it ftf, or if you have more than one flash tool saved on your computer, did you accidentally put it and older flash tool/firmware folder?

ok i just redownload the ftf file, and can see the file now.
thanks, i managed to install DT, but now trying to make it work for every apps.
is there any other free programs like Root explorer? or do i really need to buy the app to make dual touch work on every app:

Root Explorer is the most useful app on my phone, and if you like to play with your phone it is well worth it. However, you can do it for free with adb commands. You need SDK set up on your computer, or use the app terminal emulator. I suggest using terminal emulator, because setting up SDK TOOLS can be pretty involved if you've never done anything like this before. For the correct commands, check My_immortal's guide to making dualtouch work on stock apps in the development section. It's in the middle of the thread somewhere. My advice, if time is money to you, spend the 2 bucks on Root Explorer and support the developers. You'll use it all the time with a rooted phone.

thanks for the reply, i spent like 1-2 days trying to get it to work and cant find any free apps, tried some but doesnt work. i end up buying root exlorer and its damn so easy to copy files across and set the permissions where as other apps give me a big headache.
i dont no wats adb, but i think in future i will use the app again when there is more good stuff like dual touch and i need to copy files and set permission.

You can also use it to uninstall system apps that you don't use but are eating up all your RAM and space, like Timescape, SE sync, SE backup & restore. Chinese keyboard, moxier, play now. Another useful app you should get is titanium backup (free version in the market). Then get xRecovery and enable JIT, and watch your X10 fly. There are all kinds of things you can do now that you're rooted. Search xda Xperia forum for guides for noobs.

Copy this File into the firmwares folder directly!
and copy the "Dualtouch" Folder inside the Firmwares Folder of Flashtool.
After that just flash and reboot =)
If the Rom is capable of Dual-/Multitouch you will have it now.

NOTE:
This will just ADD dualtouch feature to your ROM. It will not wipe userdata or something else, see it as an addon =)
If you having problems in stock Rom with Multitouch follow this guide: (thanks My_Immortal)

How?
Press BACK button few times right after white SE label appears.
Controls:
Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
Features:
ADB root shell
Reboot
Install update.zip from SD Card
Factory reset (full wipe)
Wipe cache partition
Install custom zip
Backup and Restore
Partition tools
Mount/unmount partitions
Format partitions
Mount as USB Storage
Advanced options
Wipe Dalvik cache
Wipe battery stats
Fix permissions for apps (FC fix)
Automatic Installation (recommended):
Open xRecovery installer app and tap "Install xRecovery"
Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xRecovery-0.2-release.ZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw
Notes:
Please bear in mind that it's not the regular android recovery (we cannot replace recovery image without cracked bootloader). Instead, the boot hijacking is used to start recovery mode. You still need basic files on your /system partition to use this. NEVER use the "format /system" option alone (without flashing another system image thereafter).
This recovery is NOT compatibile with Dual Booting for custom roms (for now you can't have both).
This recovery WILL be used to flash custom roms easily.
DO NOT reinstall busybox. Recovery depends on it's particular busybox version.
Requirements:
1. Phone must be rooted
2. Busybox from the market installed
Changelog:
0.2-release: fixed installation issues for those with trashed mtd0 partition
0.1-release: xRecovery installer app - thanks zoz33!
0.0.1-beta: Initial release (for testers)
Download:
xRecovery 0.2-release
WARNING! IF YOU HAVE X10 HD (PRE-INSTALLED ANDROID 2.1) AND CANNOT BOOT INTO RECOVERY
USING REGULAR RELEASE (E.G. STUCK AT SE LABEL), YOU MAY TRY TO USE THE APK BELOW:
xRecovery-0.2-X10HD-release.apk

No offense to XperiaX10iUser because he is basically one of the Godfathers of xda Xperia forum, but the xRecovery explanation he sited may sound Greek or scare off a noob. It did for me, however I've learned that you don't have to understand everything first in order to use it. I think of it like this... xRecovery is a noobs best friend, that will allow you to do most of the cool things on xda, and enabling JIT is your X10's best friend. Basically xRecovery allows you to select from a menu a lot of the things you used to need your computer and a lot of know-how to do. It's a lot like a drop down menu you use on Windows. Click on the option and it does the work for you. No need to know everything it does, as each time you use it you will learn more about it.
I don't technically understand JIT, but enabling JIT in simple terms does something with how you phone uses your sdcard and RAM. It speeds up the visual component, so the screen reacts smoothly. For one thing, when you scroll through your app tray it does not tick or lag.
I'm on my phone so I can't provide a link.
You can also improve performance and battery life by using root explorer or titanium backup to uninstall unused or heavy resource using system apps. I have removed Timescape, Play Now, SE sync, SE backup & restore, moxier mall, Chinese & Korean keyboards, PC Companion, Social Networking Service, Face Recognition, and more. Timescape is the big one if you are not using it. Search this forum for a full list of safe apps to remove.

[TOOL] RenameAPK - batch-rename bizarrely-named APKs

If you have a slough of apk files with weird names like I do, this DOS tool is for you. It uses AAPT (included) to check an APK file's name and version, and renames your APK in a more human-readable format.
Example:
pp170.apk --> PhotoShake Pro_1.7.0.apk
Installation
Just unzip the file (RenameAPK.zip) to anywhere you like. All the required files are included.
Instructions: GUI
I made RenameApkGUI in an attempt to create a nice tool that can be pinned to the start bar. (Right click on it, choose Pin To Taskbar.) Just like regular RenameAPK, you can drag multiple files to it. You can also open it and drag multiple files into it (this makes for an easier listing of the files you want to convert).
There are a couple caveats to it, however:
When pinned to the Taskbar, you can only drag one file at a time onto its icon.
When pinned to the Taskbar, and you wish to drag a file onto its icon, you must hold the Shift key.
Really, you might as well just open RenameAPK from the Start bar instead of trying to drag/drop to it.
Instructions: Command-line Tool
You can run this tool through the command line, or by dragging one (or multiple!) .apk files to it.
To rename multiple files (just in case )
Select the FIRST file you want renamed (e.g. clicking on it)
Hold down the shift key
Use the mouse or arrow keys to define the END of your selection
Drag one of the selected files to renameapk-min.
To rename multiple files (just in case )
Select the FIRST file you want renamed (e.g. clicking on it)
Hold down the shift key
Use the mouse or arrow keys to define the END of your selection
Drag one of the selected files to renameapk-min.
Instructions: Developers
If you want to borrow/change the code, feel free to do so. But also please remember to
Give credit to this me/this project (it's free, you don't even need to give me cookies)
Let me know what you did (it's cool to know)
Updates
RenameAPK v2: Added a GUI wrapper. Keep it in the same folder as the batch files and utilities, and everything should be all right.
Moved the excessive sourcecode files to a source folder.

Just wondering, does this change the name of the app itself, or is this the same as right clicking and renaming on the computer?

Thank you! I have a pet peeve for ill-named apks. I spend a good amount of time copy/pasting or manually renaming. I just batch renamed 100 apks in about 30 seconds. This is wonderful! The only thing that could be just as good is a mobile version.

Good Job with this primetechv2, this works very nicely I needed something like this xD
I would like to know though, I modified your script all the slightest So that your outputted apk name would not have any spaces...
For Example, instead of "Root Explorer_1.7.apk" I have it say "Root_Explorer_1.7.apk"...
I don't know, I think it makes it look nicer xD
Would you like me to upload this change, and you can put it on the OP? Since I think some people would appreciate this

best app ever!! i have been looking for such an app for ages and using it was quite easy and fast as well!! could be improved by making a more graphically designed one having more features like:
searching the sd for apks
creating a list of them
ability to sellect all/some etc
move them all into one folder
you know stuff like this to make our life easier
im just suggesting..credits to the dev of this!! thanks a lot man!

I could do a few of those things, but they'd be a little inconvenient... ex. I could run a search for .apk files, but it would either have to be (a) in the current folder/subfolders, or (b) you'd have to type in the directory.
Not an easy task, unless I created an extra "scan_for_apks" batch file you could drop a folder into Theoretically, at least, it could either start the task or generate a NEW batch file to run.... which you could remove the ones you don't want renamed, etc Pretty complicated stuff though.

My kudos on the last guy who did this too, I would mention it in the topic description except it seems a little redundant. I just got lucky with the press here, it seems.

You should reflect long and hard on your inability to perform basic tasks and should probably not post things such as 'it doesn't work!'. That is basically the same as admitting that you are dumb and admitting it in a public forum.

Did you actually read and follow the instructions?
OK, do this (by the way this is what is said in the thread I linked to)...
1. Make sure you are rooted
2. Open system/build.prop in a text editor
3. Change the lines in your build.prop that read
Code:
ro.product.model=GT-N7000
ro.product.brand=samsung
to read
Code:
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
4. Reboot (which I am guessing you didn't do)
5. Download the 'Box' app from the market and sign up for an account
6. Edit the build.prop back to its original state
7. Reboot again

Of course!!
Because you can't do it, there is obviously a problem!!
If you are rooted and can't edit the build.prop on your device, copy it on to your SD card and copy it to a computer and edit it using Notepad or Notepad++. Then copy it back to your SD card and then paste it back in to your system partion. Then reboot.
Next time try using some common sense and don't blame others for your own deficiencies.

Works fine, all done with ES explorer.
Make sure /system is mounted as writeable.
You get swype complaining about a licence issue but this goes away when you set the model and manufacturer back.

thanks for the trick. i was using my sister SG2 and i notice there's more free games in samsung apps than the one in SGN. can i use the same method to download games by tricking samsung apps 2? the SD data should be the same...would be great if you can tell me what is the exact code for SG2.

Before you try this, have a think for a second... What do you think the reason is for this difference in the number of apps/games? The SGSII has a smaller screen with different dpi settings. The apps that don't show for the Note will probably either not run, or are not compatible with it.
Anyway, if you want to try, change any reference to N7000 to whatever shows for your sister's SGSII (there are a few of these) and change the lines
Code:
ro.build.description=GT-N7000-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD XXKJ4 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-N7000/GT-N7000:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/XXKJ4:user/release-keys
to whatever shows in your sister's build.prop.
Make sure you backup your build.prop to your SD card (you can just copy it back when you have finished rather than editing it again). Just in case, also have a Nandroid backup to hand if you need it.

OOps that's rude. Please dont assume others are stupid.
I am rooted and can edit the build.prop, after editing and saving if i reopen it shows the new value.
But once phone is rebooted it changes back to original value, that is what i meant.
BTW, just check your old updates, in first you asked to change the .Brand and then in the same thread asked to change back the .manufacture value. I am not blaming, it might be typo or something.
End result, still there are some more values needs to be changed.

I made no mistake. You have to change the lines from the first ones to the second ones. There are differences between the two manufacturers' build.props.
I am not blaming, I am just pointing out that people need to learn to read, think and comprehend.

[HOWTO] Apk Manager ICS - decompile apk's

Hey guys iv had trouble discovering a version of apktool that would actually work on Samsung stock firmware !
Although I think I may have just found one which can decompile: HERE
This is confirmed working on CM9 .apk files.. Samsung on the other hand has been troublesome im hoping one of the dev's can offer some sort of explanation.
CRASH COURSE FOR NOOBS
First things first, you can to extract your "framework-res.apk" from "system/framework" of your rom.
You will then have to set your framework file in apktool.. Two ways of doing so:
If you have apktool installed in C:\Windows open a CMD window and type the following command: "apktool if framework-res.apk".
or
You simply rename your framework-res.apk to "1.apk" and place it in "C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\framework".
You then want to extract "Apk Manager ICS" from the zip you downloaded & then place the apk you want to modify in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder.
At this stage you can open up "Script.bat" which will execute a CMD window with a bunch of different options..
Enter "22" to set your target project, then "9" to decompile. Once the decompile completes you can then navigate to the "Apk Manager ICS/projects" folder where you will see the decompiled source of the apk.
Make your modifications to the apk and take note of the files you have edited, this is important.
To recompile select option "11". If errors persist this may be due to a incorrect commands/functions you have used in your modifications, review the log..
Navigate to "Apk Manager ICS\place-apk-here-for-modding" where you will now find a "unsigned<APKNAME>.apk". This is a recompiled version of the original apk! Or semi depending on the errors you received.
Open this file with 7zip/Winzip or what ever you use and extract the files which you had modified from the apk.. eg. SecContacts.apk\res\layout-ar-rAE\call_detail_delete.xml
You then want to open up the original apk in "Apk Manager ICS\place-apk-here-for-modding" just named "<APKNAME>.apk" in 7zip/Winzip overwrite the files with the ones you have just extracted from the unsigned version. By using this tactic you will keep the original signatures on the .apk..
Post back your results.. If anyone can add any information to this post please feel free too ! I just though id share my experiences so far.. Hopefully someone can shed a little more light!
Good luck !

God dam it, cant get it compiling anymore.. Someone figure this out please..

Well my experience with Apk Manger has been that the same one I've been using for Gingerbread works just fine on ICS, so no need for a new one necessarily. But I did find that sometimes Apk Manager could not decompile certain apks...where APKTOOL could. I do like to use Apk Manager, so I found success by decompiling them with APKTOOL, then transferring the files over to the projects folder of Apk Manager, then the rest you just do normal.
As for your instructions on how to use Apk Manager,
you did a good job describing the fundamentals of how to decompile, and recompile but I find the major flaw in your instructions is when you say "I had recieved errors when doing so.. ignore this for now." DON'T ignore that! That is saying you have an error
So if you get that error when it asks you yes or no, choose "no" and it will abort. Then type "21" and a red CMD screen will popup and run and error log. Its not real easy to read, but if you do it you will find your mistake in your edits. Correct these mistakes until you DO NOT get any errors, then proceed.
If you do this correctly and receive no errors then the "unsigned<APKNAME>.apk" that will be created in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder is done. Pull it out and remove the unsigned part.
The copy and paste method just leaves room for more errors, IMO. Ones that are not logged.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the input, I agree with you 100% about the error section.
My question is tho how are people decompiling camera.apk & contacts.apk to make these great mods we see.. there MUST be a way to successfully compile a sammy .apk.
Works perfectly fine with AOSP/CM9 you can decompile & recompile no problems..

I just use this great tool for decompiling samsung apks

Wanam has provided a working APK Manager which can be found in the OP of this thread.

And also I created a batch script method for simple decompiling and recompiling but only for framework-res.apk.
I havent used any of the other repacks. I could modify it to use any apk if there is a need.
Its in my sig anyway and definitely works with framework-res.apk

Yep.
There is a bug in apktool.jar though.. there are problems with the decompiling of some plurals.xml which you need to fix manually

Could you provide a quick start guide to these manual fixes?
Framework-res.pk is the only file I can't recompile.

So i had a strange problem.
I do everything like this manual.
But every Time when i want to replace the framework-res.apk after it hangs in bootprocess. Its the same when i do nothing in the .apk, Just decompile and recompile.
I had this Problem on every Tool.
I want to mod the framework from CM9 on my Galaxy S2.
So what can i do? Whats the Problem?

I confirm : working for me

I followed the instructions in the first post and got up to running Script.bat, but then I got the dreaded "Java not found" even though I have the latest java installed.
I read that the environmental variables need to be edited. Could someone give me an idea as to what the PATH should look like? Thanks in advance.

So, I should type "PATH" for the variable name? This will replace the PATH value that is already there, correct? Can there be any spaces in the path?

Seems like a nice little tool for tweaking ROMs a bit. Hopefully you can add more features in the future, but even as it is, it should be handy for anyone who wants to tweak ROMs a little bit. By my understanding, it should allow the removal of preinstalled rubbish from stock ROMs, right?

I see you are using Ionic.Zip.dll the same one I used in Droid Manager for creating Custom Roms Too
But you have an issue bro
1- Make My Rom button doesn't work on the first run, I had to close and reopen the program.
2- the result zipped ROM will fail to flash in CWM & is twice in size than the original ROM
why it will fail, because if you open the result zipped file you will find a folder that has the project's title and the ROM files are inside that folder.
while CWM checks for META-INF folder on the root directory of the zipped ROM.
The reason why it's twice in size than the original ROM is because after the program unzips the base rom it doesn't delete it from workspace which causing "Ionic.Zip.dll" to include it in the result zipped rom making it twice in size than the original ROM.
Also please note that adding a data folder in the project will not lead into having anything inside /data/app after the rom is flashed because the updater-script must be modified to include the commands which tell CWM to: A- Mount Data Partition. B- Extract contents of data folder in the zipped file to Data Partition on the phone.
Also it would be better if your program doesn't fully remove the files from the hard disk, rather than just moving them to Recycle bin it's safer, since they can be retrieved
I'm sorry for that comment but I thought I would give you a quick feedback since it's the main step in making a better program
Good luck

does this support aroma installer ?
Any way,big thanks to you dude

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions. Wow...I just learned my lesson of why I should never leave catch statemetns empty lol. And I didn't know that about the data/app folder thing. I went back and added some code to add lines to the setup-script though I haven't tested it yet, so I'll see if that works. Haha, but thanks again for helping me catch those bugs, lol tell me if you find anymore.
