Hello. I folloe the instructions from gingerxperia v8 topic on how to install timescape but it doesn't work. I tried again and again and nothing.. any help? Thanks
Sent from my Xperia X8 using xda premium
Have you try full wipe then install gingerxperia v8 then install timescape then full wipe?
If you look at the instructions, there is line you have to add to the build.prop.
Install GXV8 then the timescape update, then after boot add the line indicated in the instructions and reboot.
Timescape is added as a widget.
Before this I have a same problem too with GingerXperiaV8.
My solution:
First step:
Extact all folder in timescape.zip (META & system folder)
copy 'system folder' only to sd card.
Second step:
open root explore, copy every file in sdcard>system>app/etc/framework.
paste into system>app/etc/framewor
make permission for all file rw-r-r.
Third step:
open built.prop with text editor (system>built.prop)
enter this line - ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia
save built.prop
reboot ur device.
hope this one can help ur. its work for me.
I installed timescapre in gingerDX v018 but the background is too dark, I can hardly see the image.. it's all dark compared to the timescape in the stock rom
i think Timescape is only for stock ROM thats why you have this problem

I replaced the battery icons with ones that I did.
*To install:
1). You must download and unzip the file and copy the two files: "-res.apk framework" and "reframe.sh" into the memory card from your phone. (Do not put in a folder because the script looks for the "framework-res.apk" directly at the root of the card.
2). Install on your phone "Script Manager" from the Market.
3). Open "Script Manager" being Root, look for the "reframe.sh.", Check "Run as Root" and run it.
4). When finished, the phone will reboot and you have new icons.
NOTE: You can also replace the Floyo v0.30 framework-res.apk with this one.
*Sorry for my english...

Are you using Floyo v0.25/0.30?
SOLVED! !!
just booted overcome rom 4.1 series 7 on p1000gsm , but i hate the music player they ported . i need the old stock player with notificarion bar control and lock screen widget , . . . . . and plz help this noob by guiding me thru installation ,
Download the Removed_Apps_v4.1.0 from the Overcome Thread (first page, first post).
Then extract the MusicPlayer.apk to your PC, connect the Tab via USB to your PC and copy the MusicPlayer.apk to the internal SD of your Tab.
Disconnect the USB connection. On your Tab, copy the MusicPlayer.apk to /system/app/ . For this, use a RootExplorer, e.g. the free ES File Explorer and enable first the Root Mode and second the write permissions for the file system in the settings. After copying, i changed the file permissions for MusicPlayer.apk to "rw- r-- r--" (long press on MusicPlayer.apk and then choose "file settings" or so, don't know in english), but just because all the other apps in /system/app/ are set in this way. Don't know, if it is necessary. But it works for me.

well man.thanks i almost flashed it back to stock , what rom are you using btw , do you know how to change the notification bar to stock , overcome's bar aint cool . . .
At the moment, i'm using Overcome 4.1.0. It works good for me, like the previous version of Overcome did.
You can change to stock theme, this includes the notification bar. Just download the Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Stock_Theme_Patch_v2.zip from the Overcome thread and copy the zip to internal SD. Then boot into CWM and install zip from internal sd. Reboot and you have Overcome with stock theme.

This is a detailed tutorial about modifying or making your own custom roms....but not as regular method... It is a new method...
So...lets start....
In this Guide...you will come to know how to--
Modifying rom..
Adding apps and removing..
Changing bootanimation, rom's name, fonts, ringtones...etc.
A new and easy method to make the rom....
::Requirements::
Galaxy Mini..
A windows PC.
Some basic knowledge..
Time and Patience(most imp)
::Important Tools::
7zip or any other zip manager>>Download Here<<
Update Zip Packager>>Download Here<<
Notepad++ >>Download Here<<
Dsixda's Kitchen..(OPTIONAL)..>>XDA Link<<
::About "BaseRom".zip::
Now, suppose, your base rom is CyanogenMod7.zip...
So...when u will extract that zip...u will see there...
META-INF (Folder)
system (Folder)
boot.img
META-INF :
This folder contains the files which are related to your recovery....in simple words...these files guide your recovery to flash zip, set permissions and some other things...
So...the change that we want here is to add the text that our recovery shows while flashing the rom...look in the extras for the tut...
boot.img :
This file contains Kernel of ur rom....and it also contains splash screen of ur rom....which u can edit...!! Look in extras..
NOW, the main thing..
::Main Tutorial::
Download your base rom and flash it....(without editing anything).
Flash Gapps..
Flash some other material such as Bravia Engine, Audio Enhancements, Scripts, Tweaks, etc
Flash each n every thing that you want in your rom...
Flash any theming material..which u want in ur rom
If you are modifying some system apps such as phone.apk, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk....then modify them one by one and flash them..
When you are done your theming, tweaking, and rest of the things...(now, you are running your rom having your desired theme, scripts, tweaks...)
Now....go to CWM recovery and do a Nandroid backup..
After the backup is completed...locate to the folder in sd-card where the backup file is created..(SD-Card>clockworkmod>backup>.....)
In this "backup" folder...you will see a folder named as the date when you have taken the backup..
In that folder...you will see a file - system.ext4.tar.
Copy that system.ext4.tar file in your PC...
Extract the file...you will see a folder - system
Now, this "system" folder is your Rom's system folder.. having all scripts, tweaks and theming...
Just delete the folder "lost+found" in that system folder and take this folder to the folder where your META-INF and boot.img are...
IMPORTANT:You have to delete "xbin" folder from the extracted system folder and then u have to copy and paste the original xbin folder to that folder..
::Extras::
Editing build.prop :
Locate to the system folder....open build.prop and edit it as you want by adding lines to it...refer this link...
Adding and Removing Apps :
Under system>>app folder copy the apps that you want to add to your rom...also remove the apps that you want...but click here to know the list of apps that can be removed...
Adding UI print to the meta-inf :
Locate to the file updater-script (META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script).
Open the file updater-script with Notepad++...
Scroll down to the last line of the matter...
Copy and paste the following code exactly below the last line
ui_print("Have A Nice Day");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should type your own desired text at the place of Have A Nice Day..(with "....")
Done!!
After u have done....leave the META-INF folder as it is....for now..
Editing Splash Screen :
Extract the boot.img by using dsixda's kitchen....it is very easy...
After that....refer to this LINK for editing boot splash screen......and then repack the boot.img again using dsixda's kitchen
Editing boot animation of rom :
Download your desired bootanimation.zip.
Rename it "bootanimation.zip".
Now, locate to the folder system>media
You will see a file bootanimation.zip there..
Replace that file with your desired boot animation..(renamed)..
Done!!
Adding ringtones :
Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
Changing the Fonts :
Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
Locate to the folder system>fonts>
Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
Changing the ROM's name :
Note: It will be shown in settings>about phone>
Open build.prop with Notepad++
Find the line-
ro.cm.version="Base rom's name"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type your rom's name instead of "Base rom's name"..
Save..
Done!!
Theming Your Rom :
Refer to the following links for theming guides-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422116
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342895
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469987
Now you have your MODIFIED : -
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img
::Creating your ROM.zip::
Extract the provided UpdateZipPackager.zip
You will see->>placehere(folder)
>>others(folder)
>>script.bat
Now, copy your modified META-INF, system and boot.img in the folder "placehere" in UpdateZipPackager..
Run the script.bat in UpdateZipPackager..
It will ask something...type "n" and press enter..
Now, you will see a list in the script window...
Choose option 2 and press enter..
It will create an update.zip...
This is your roms zip..
Flash your rom and upload it to XDA..!!! Enjoy..!!
Plz...press thanks if I helped you with this guide...

NO, it won't be there.... ALl your apps and data will not be in this rom as we've not included the data folder data.ext4.tar (which is the one to store all your data).
SO, don't worry much about it.

Check your framework-res.apk for errors...as well as...check your meta-inf...try with an unedited meta-inf...and also..dont forget to replace that xbin folder with the original one...from base rom...also delete lost + found folder taken from system.ext4.tar ...try everything freshly..dont make anything wrong in update zip packager..in options selection...u will surely get success..

After I did the nandroid backup and went my backup folder, I only saw a "system.img" file inside the other folder - no "system.ext4.tar" ...what should I do in this case?
Oj-buddy, I am trying to follow your guide to make a custom ROM, but I find myself in a spot. You said that after I do the nanadroid backup, I'm supposed to go to: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(dated folder which contains my rom) where I will see "system.ext4.tar", but that's not what I see ;these are the files I see: android_ secure.img, boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, sd-ext.img, system.img.....what should I do at this point?

You should use latest CWM recovery for it.....
or you can also extract system.img with magicISO tool...
both system.img and system.ext4.tar are same files..
Hi Devs,
I was wondering if there is a way to modify the photowall live wallpaper and add your own pictures, I tried to look for a guide & modified app, however no luck.
Found 1 modified apk with batman pics but that didnt work.
Please let me know if anyone has been able to modify or is working on this.

If at beginning of your title you put " (REQUEST) "then you might get better and faster answer.

Steps To Modify SGS3 Photowall Live Wallpaper
Hi All,
I had tried multiple roms and when used the Photowall Live Wallpaper, I could not point it to the photo gallery to use my own pics. The gallery would never open and I had to do with the default pics which came with the SGS3. (Not sure if anyone has faced this issue).
After playing around with the apk files I did find a way to use my own pics in the PhotoWall Live Wallpaper. I hope you would like this.
A: Uploading your pictures in the Photowall.apk file.
1. Select a maximum of 8 pictures that you wish to use in the Photowall and move them to a folder on your desktop.
2. Rename the 8 pictures as follows: g1p1.jpg / g1p2.jpg / g1p3.jpg / g1p4.jpg / g1p5.jpg / g1p6.jpg / g2p1.jpg / g2p2.jpg
3. Extract the Photowall.apk from ICS ROM onto a folder on your desktop. (I used RemICS v1.3, haven’t tried this is on any other ROM).
4. Open the apk file using winrar. (Do not extract, just open)…. Navigate to the PhotoWall.apk\res\raw folder.
5. You should be able to see the files as shown in the screenshot 1.jpg
6. Click on “Add” and navigate to the folder where you have stored the pictures (remember to rename them as mentioned in step 2).
7. Select the files and click “OK”. This will replace the original files in the Photowall.apk.
8. Once this is done, exit/close the apk file opened in winrar.
You can try installing this file directly by copying it to your phone, however that didn’t work on my phone.
B: Uploading your customized Photowall.apk file in your ROM. (Tested on RemICS v1.3).
1.Open the Rom that you wish to flash (I used RemICS UX v1.3) using winrar (do not extract)
2.Navigate to \data\app folder.
3.Click on “Add” and navigate to the folder where you have saved your customized Photowall.apk. (Make sure that the name is “Photowall.apk”).
4.This will replace the original Photowall.apk with your customized file.
5.Exit and save the zip file.
6.Use the new edited Rom and copy it to the root of your “Internal SD” card.
7.Reboot the phone to “Recovery” and flash the new Rom. (I did not lose my data & settings as I did not wipe cache partition or Data/Factory, however this may or may not work for you. To be on a safer side please backup your data and applications. I will not be responsible for any data loss or bricked devices while trying this procedure. Try at your own risk.).

I think you over complicated the install process by a bit...
Why not just use a file explorer with root permissions and place the new Photowall.apk back to /system/app where it actually belongs, reboot the phone and be done with it? (/system/app is where live wallpapers that come with the phone are located by default, not /data/app)
As you can see here on my GS3, two of the several live wallpapers (phase beam and photo wall) are in /system/app
And these are the proper permissions for the apk
I tried that, but that wont work..... that the reason i mentioned
" You can try installing this file directly by copying it to your phone, however that didn’t work on my phone. "
Unfortunately wht u menitioned didnt work for me...
correct me if I am wrong... did u mention SG3... for SG3, you dont need to modify the photowall.apk, if you go to the wallpaper settings you can select pics from your gallery..

Yes, I understand that on the SG3 you don't need to do this, but on a Captivate, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to place it in /system/app and still have it work.
This is exactly what i did before the stuck came.
Rooted my Phone using Towelroot
Installed SuperSU and RootChecker
No Custom Rom whatsoever
I was looking for a way to edit the Dock background for the icons where the app drawer is then found that it is called "home_stage_bg.png" looked for it using ES file explorer then found it in /system/ui/app/Home.apk I then coppied the Home.apk then placed it in SD Card incase something happens :laugh: then I downloaded a transparent version of the home_stage_bg.png and also downloaded the Apk Editor on Google Playstore opened it and chose Select an Apk file i chose the Home.apk from the SD Card then replaced the stock home_stage_bg.png with the tranparent one then Clicked save. Went to the folder of Apk Editor where the edited Home.apk was then replaced the Home.apk in /system/app/ then suddenly it went black and rebooted then stuck on Android is Upgrading Starting Applications. Any solution for this?
Thanks XDA.
You can fix this by installing a new launcher.
Use Aroma File Manager to move your Home backup back to system/app. Remember to mount system in recovery before entering aroma file manager.
Done.

If you know how to use ADB (or you can use the Aroma File Manager as suggested above), you can copy another launcher, or the same (original) launcher, to the /system/app folder. Make sure permissions are correct (owner/group = root, permissions = 0644, or rw-r-r--), then reboot. Most likely, the only reason it's not starting up is because you ruined the launcher and there is nothing to start up to.
I don't know if that method of editing an APK is correct, and if you try to replace an APK that is currently being used, such as the "home.apk" or "framework-res.apk" you'll get an automatic reboot.
Safest is to do it on a computer using 7zip.
