DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BLAH BLAH BLAH ETC.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. The flashable zip files containing the actual launcher and SE widgets(Download here)
2. Terminal emulator(free from market)
3. Executable script to modify build.prop(Download here)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the executable script(AKA "build") is placed in the root(meaning the base) of your SD card.
2. Using terminal emulator, input this command.(press enter after each line)
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/build
--this should change your build's manufacturer from LGE to Sony Ericsson--
--if an error appears, take note of the error message and post it here--
3. Reboot to recovey and flash SE_timescape.zip
4. Enjoy!!!!!
SMALL WARNING:
No undo.zip as of now, so if you're kind of fidgety on what's in your phone, stay away for now. But, if you have basic knowledge in removing system files, just fiddle with the zip file and you'll know exactly what to remove.
Bugs(help needed):
-app drawer button is placed a little bit high
-photo and video widget may present some errors
Thanks to cygnus of samdroid.net. Click here to visit the original thread

Yo ungaze-dude you just posted wrong link you posted ungaze's data2sd link.

funny, that shouldn't happen. try to re-download. this time I uploaded the one I actually used on my phone.

i am currently using se launcher (for xperia) how is it different with that? Also app drawer button is not high for my launcher.

This launcher sucks. App Drawer doesn't show all apps.

good work man ! but the timescape font is HUGE!
looks ugly :/

it wieked on CM 7.0.2 )
i flashed this archive into recovery
and before i changed this string in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
to
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

That's exactly the same procedures as the 1st post.
the downloadable "build" script will automate the build prop change needed, while the SE_timescape.zip is a signed(edify) version of SEUX.zip.
About the fonts, YEP they're ugly alright(as you can see on my screenies) I wasn't really planning to use timescape but I really wanted the photo and video widget to work. So if anyone can help here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Another thing, I wanted to use the SE launcher from this thread but was unsuccessful. Again, if anyone can help out, please do.
Even though it has a few bloats, I still like this launcher(+ photo widget and folders - really cool). I also think it's really fast. I don't have much time to tinker right now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't know where you're getting at but trust me, both files are one and the same(only difference is with the update scripts which can be fixed by toggling signature verification). Anyways I've re-uploaded the SE_timescape.zip which is now compatible with all optimus one recoveries.
Have you tried the large photo widget? Did it work for you?
BTW, here's a screenie of the pinch gesture, really nice:

Where do I change the build.prop at? And will the SE widgets work?

You're gonna need to give more info than that. What file is this (I've personally never heard of the ext4.win extension before; are you asking about an ext4 partition?) and why do you need it for your nexus 4?

Ext4.win is the backup file made by TWRP. Ext4 is the filesystem of the file (I assume) and .win is their extension. It may just be as easy as renaming it to .zip and opening it, kind of like a .apk
He probably wants to extract his apps

Re: [Q] Extract *ext4.win files ([A] They are '.tar' archives)
I arrived here from a google search for the same problem so I thought others might, too. Here is what I found:
Code:
# file data.ext4.win
data.ext4.win: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
# mkdir data
# cd data
# tar xf ../data.ext4.win
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
...
While this worked, I was surprised that 7Zip complained that it did not recognize the file type, even when I changed the name to 'data.tar'.
Long story short: TWRP '*.ext4.win' backup files appear to be '*.tar' UNIX "tape archives". I would hesitate to say "standard 'tar' files" only because I encountered some unexplained wrinkle. (7Zip usually doesn't have any trouble.)

I know this thread is a year old, but it's still relevant as there is not much information about this
On windows you can use tartool from here: https://tartool.codeplex.com/
Code:
tartool -x system.ext.win output_folder

better yet, http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidicsjbext/, gui ext4 extractor

Change extension from win to tar and open with winrar.

If on windows open the win file in 7Zip, Extract the .ext4 file, and then open the ext4 file with 7zip

hi my some problem help me for this format upacking

System.ext4.win00x files are tar.
1. Concatenate multiple tar files into one file.
2. Use Extractor by Alexey71.

Hi guys, I've made a batch command program to Archive and Extract files to zips. Why would you use this? Well, back at the time where I was porting backwards and forwards, I worked in a certain folder, then I just have to click on my batch command and it automatically get's zipped.
How does it work:
Extracting: Place your zip in /EXTRACT/INPUT and your file will be extracted to /EXTRACT/OUT
Compressing: Place your zip in /COMPRESS/INPUT and your file will be compressed in the folder /COMPRESS/OUT
Signing: After you Compressed your files, you just select sign and it will be named " updated-signed "
Note:- At the moment the tool and it's folders need to be ran from the desktop!
Ui:
It's a very basic command prompt.
What I'm working on:
I am going to add the following features:
The ability to Root and Unroot Ace
The ability to Odex and Deodex Ace
The ability to Add scripts to Ace.
The ability to be ran from anywhere not just the Desktop.
Installer and windows Ui.
ADB Tools
Sign Apk's
This shall later on be renamed to something like : The Ace All-In-One tool.

Did you do this?
1. Extract ocasie.rar and place both ocasie..exe and a folder in another folder.
2. Place system.img (make sure of this name,no other) in the folder containing contents of ocasie.rar.
3. Run ocasie.exe.
If the system is extracted it would say it to you

CWM backup would work if all I wanted to do was extract my own backups but everytime everytime there is a official update, the update won't work because the /system/app apk's have to be stock while mines is always updated with the latest versions so trying to find away to extract the stock /system/app apk's from the images. I thought all system.img's were a standard format but guess not.
