Good. I presume, you have downloaded the ROM to PC, right?
So, here is the procedure how to sort out your problem:
1. go to ghisler.com or other web page;
2. Download total commander or another file manager;
3. unpack your ROM file;
4. Look carefully into it.
5. Delete any and all files, one by one.
6. Delete original rar archive.
7. Open notepad (or other word processor) on your PC
8. Write at least 150 times the sentence: "I wil NOT download sevreal gigs without thinking what for I am doing this"
9. got to Google Play search for apk named: Samsung S4 Ringtones
I think it will sort out your current problem, and even furthermore, except of the step 9, the procedure shall sort out most of your future problems as well...

5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
Can someone tell me where I find this file, lol I just cant find it.
8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
I cant find these files either, I also did step 4 without deleting the guava.odex file, once I find out where the files are should I just start over or what. I know this is probably a stupid question but Im lost and I have searched for the answer everywhere before asking.

1. It's located in the same folder you ran the "Main" application from, once you finished option 3, locate "origi_frame" folder and navigate to "guava.odex" file to delete it, its right between framework-tests file and ime file.
2. The "done_app" & "done_frame" is located in the same location as the "Main" application.

They are not in the .zip... they are generated after some of the steps are done in the cmd and placed where ever the file was placed when you unzipped it and started with step 1. PM me and I will help you on gtalk

In the directory/folder that you unzipped xUltimate to and where the "Main.exe" executable is that you are running (most likely called xUltimate-v2.2.2), it should have created the following sub-directories:
(after successfully pulled the original system files by selecting option 1 & 2 of "main.exe")
origi_app
origi_frame
(after deodex was successfully run in option 3 & 4 of "main.exe")
done_app
done_frame

im unable to make a ftf file with flashtool. i unzip the file. then search it, select it in source folder. The flashtool never opens the file and subfiles. It never displays in the left column. Ive started with a zip file, then unziped it. Ive also tried winRAR to extract the files. Im using 2.9.1 Java 1.6.0_24 os 6.1
Any help or tips would be appreciated
Hey, you must sure that in the zip file just one file .ftf, if so, extract it. If there are 4 files like system, data ... you must rename the .zip file to .ftf

All the files you want to bundle need to be in one folder and look similar to this

OK, what you have is wolfbreaks rom, this is installed on your phone via xrecovery not an ftf file, if you want to install it you need to install xrecovery on your phone first, then install this from there.
You need a rooted rom for this, so is your rom rooted and what version are you on 2.1 or 2.3
I have x recovery on my phone know. That's how I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3, because my phone is sim unlocked. Super user is v2.3.6.1 I followed a thread on the upgrade. I can link which thread when I'm home.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I've tried installing via x recovery, by loading the zip file on my as card and loading it with xrecovery. But I don't see the file when I'm in xrecovery. Something I'm prob doing wrong
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
first i would like to say thank you for all your help and tips. this site is the sh!t!! it was a noob mistake. when i looked back in the files in xrecovery it was listed.but once i scrolled down, there is was. oh man!! i spent hrs looking up threads and videos to see if there was something i was missing. there it was. one page down. lol. so i was able to install the new wb 3.5
thank you!!
time to look at what the differences in 3.6
Say I like the icons on one CM9 ROM and want to use them on another, any way I could locate them and save them to the SD? If so where are they located? I've been looking through my root files, and haven't found them. Thanks.
One way to retrieve the icon, is to pull the apk for which ever program icon you want and using 7-Zip (or zip program of your choice, to open apk in another zip program you must rename from .apk to .zip. 7-zip automatically recognizes apk files as an archive, which is nice. ) , open the apk and look in /res/drawable-mdpi and find the icon and copy it to your device.

Thank you very much.
With my former rooted S2 I was perfectly able to connect it with my desktop and the program Android Commander recognised it. I used that software to transfer files to the root folders.
Now I have a stock-rooted S4, I wanted to use Android Commander again. But alas, it doesn't recognise my phone.
I don't have any clue as to what is causing Android Commander to not 'see' my S4.
I would like to know if anyone is able to use this software with their S4.
Or if anyone has an idea how to fix my problem.
Thanks.

You have to update the ADB counsel on bin folder
Steps:
1- Download View attachment bin.rar
2- Extract with replace to all 4 files on bin folder "C:\ProgramFiles\Android Commander\bin" or "C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Android Commander\bin" if you have windows x64.
3- enjoy using Android Commander:good:
Note: either change the folder security to add permission for everyone to allow winrar to extract and replace the files directly or extract the rar file outside (i.e. desktop) and simply copy and replace the files.
If it help you, please hit thanks below:good:

Thankyou very much dear,,, its working fine after update bin folder...
This helped me with AC not recognizing the S4.
Anyway, how do you get it to obtain root access? On the Xperia I had to use an app called ADBD Insecure, but it doesn't seem to work on the S4.
Dear brothers :
I installed a custom ROM for my phone samsung Galaxy young GT-S5360
Dedicated Roman Information :
ROM Name:
Hyperion - Titan of the East
Build number:
Hyperion.DXLF2
I did not like the icons
How do I change the entire Icons
You experience a number of applications such as :
ICON CHANGER PRO
Did not do any good
Mentioned application does change the icons and put a shortcut on the desktop
I do not want this
I want to change application icons on the home screen
How so .?
Decompile the application you want to change the icon of with apk tool
You can see what the icon name is in the Android manifest
The icon itself will be located in res/drawable-ldpi
An easier way might be to download an icon pack (search the theme section)
Then open the Flashable zip & find the app name you are looking for - open that folder & put the image you want in there replacing the image in the folder (rename your image to match the one you are replacing)
Then flash it in cwm with system mounted

download that icon pack
open it with winrar or any other unzipper
goto the unpack folder
in there you will find a list of folders that relate to the applications - eg Calendar
open the res folder and replace the image in there with the one you want making sure your image has the same file name as the one you are replacing
once done delete any folders to apps you dont want to replace
flash the zip in cwm with system mounted

you then flash the zip in cwm with system mounted

I'm guessing you didn't mount system before flashing the zip
Remember you also need to be rooted & most likely need to be deodexed (most custom roms are already)

Read all my previous posts - I can't make it clear other than to say root - mount system in cwm - then flash zip
Change what ever images you want inside the zip keeping file names the same
