how are you trying to edit those files?
the phone is rooted, but it doesn't mean it sudo every single app you run. plus if i'm not mistaken, / is mounted as read-only. you'll need to remount it as r/w
i' ve tried with andexplorer (downloaded from market) and root explorer. trying to edit build.prop file

Thanks, but I'm rooted and was hoping someone had or could pull out a single file and post or send. It's nice to know where those are at though.

Stock rooted is still odexed. The image file linked will contain the odex files too.
Downloaded the file from Google. Opened it wit 7Zip.
I get these files:
bootloader-toro-primekk15.img
flash-all.sh
image-mysid-icl53f.zip
radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek05.img
radio-toro-i515.ek02.img
Whitch file do I open to find the Android Sysyem file and how do I open it?
Google how to open an .img file.. and its going to be the biggest image file.

bro, you need to be rooted in order to push apps to the system via root explorer
btw there's the mms.apk form stock

Oh. you shouldnt flash any updates from chobitsdigitalis, when you are not in a custom deodexed rom (instructions are explicitly shown there). The MMS.apk is already deodexed, it will not work on stock unless you odex them back. What you need is the Odexed Stock mms.apk and the .odex extension file paste in your system/app set with proper permissions.
chamatht said:
Here

Replace mms.apk via root explorer.
U need to root your device to use root explorer.
Or
Make your own cwm flashable zip.
Don't forget to press thanks

if it is a flashable zip, just use CWM and click the "install from sd card" option and choose the said zip. It will then replace your current stock mms apk
you can also try pushing (pasting) the stock mms apk i've provided using root explorer and set permissions to:
r-w
r
r
Install handcent and forget all these..

I noticed the previously posted de-odexed dump was not complete. Its missing several items. Below are links to my attempt at de-odexing the system apps and framework. It is a complete dump.
Deodexed framework (MD5 543acaded314224318cd90775654b57c)
Deodexed apps (MD5 58de9c029f1f62ba06dcc634020eeca9)
I have actually pushed this to my device and verified its working. I did this by "stop"ing the Android runtime, using the internal "SD" with adb push and some for loops then an adb reboot. I will not provide more detailed instructions.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TRY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
I hope other ROM developers can use this as a base once we have a safe way to restore soft bricks.

Attached is a framework-res.apk with WiFi / Bluetooth tethering enabled. I've also applied your same full battery tweaks and carrier label to SystemUI.apk (based off my deodex work) and attached it.

Edit: framework-res.apk available here (sorry, too big to attach).
Ignored my own advice and installed your deodexed system. Everythings cool. I figured out how to remove the Loud Volume warning, posted here.
I'll be building off your deodexation so we have common base. Thanks.
Would someone else be able to help clarify on how to properly push these files? I kind of get what OP is saying but not quite there and I won't do anything till I'm sure how to properly push these over. I understand and accept full responsibility for what happens to my phone but I would very much enjoy help working with these files, I just need to make sure I got my procedure down.
Also we have a way to fix soft bricks now so worst comes to worst I just re-flash the stock ROM.
Just trying to help test and learn ^^

Your audio files in res/raw must not be compressed. Replace them with no compression after recompiling.
DDMS is helpful.

The steps in his thread are more or less how I did it. The key here is "stop" to freeze the runtime. Otherwise it will notice the APKs and JARs changing and try to reprocess them - and ultimately crash the phone.

I had to rename a few layouts (keyguard_lockscreen_something). Once it recompiled, I swapped AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder into the recompiled one with the files from the original APK.
So, does this contain the TW framework and all apps? I. E. could you move this to a /system of a CM or AOSP ROM and get the AllShare, S Voice, etc. apps?
romracer, what version tools are you using to decompile and recompile?
I cant get sec email to de-odex on the latest dump. Did you have any issues with that?

Hi, I've deodexed the /system partition to the most recent update (at the time of writing), 15.4.A.1.9, of the Sony Xperia M SINGLE SIM.
The files have been taken from the C1904 ftf, but will work perfectly fine on the C1905 too. The deodexed files come in a neat .zip for if you have an unlocked bootloader, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader please refer to this guide on how to push the files to your device.
I have also modified the services.jar file to enable SUPERUSERMOD, just push the new file to your device and enjoy. You also need to be deodexed to use SUPERUSERMOD.
I will keep this thread updated if any new firmwares get released. Just check back after about a day and I should have them up for you.
15.4.A.0.23 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.4.A.1.9 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.4.A.1.10 Files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
I never actually stated how I made these files, for the deodexed files I used the Kamome tool (thanks for your tool @AndroPlus) and for the SUPERUSERMOD I followed the guide by @DavidMKD.
Thanks buddy!!!

yeah sure, i have a hardlocked bootloader so i just pushed the services.jar file through adb but after i reboot i LOSE the ability to edit system files or mount/edit permissions using any root explorer.
ive fully deodexed following the guide using adb also.
im thinkin i should just deodex and leave out the superusermod as i actually have access to system files then

Do you still have the superSU (or superuser) app installed? If so, can you connect to the computer and run the adb shell command followed by the SU command?

erm it seems to be working now... i have no idea why i had the problem, but ive just reflashed the latest firmware rooted, su-ed, busyboxed, fixed root, deodexed and then done the mod and it all seems to be working fine now
my phone has been an absolute nightmare though to be honest, problem after problem - locked bootloaders are a nightmare
Works as a charm

If you had referred to the OP you would have found that the deodexed .zip can be flashed in CWM whereas the SUPERUSERMOD has to be pushed manually.

Inside of the .zip there is a services.jar file. This file is the untouched version without SUPERUSERMOD enabled. The SUPERUSERMOD I have created is not in a .zip format and you will have to push it/copy it to your device manually.
Are you sure this zip for 15.4.A.1.9? im applying this patch and Sony PCC saying 15.4.A.0.23. Why? Anyone had this problem?
Hey, possible of you could make a whole system flashable from ftf? I don't have a computer to flash ftf much appreciated if you did

Yes, definitely for the 15.4.A.1.9 firmware. I downloaded the aforementioned firmware for the sole purpose of making these mods. I can only assume it is something in your build.prop why it is displaying like that. Try copying the original build.prop to your phone, setting the correct permissions and then rebooting.

Hi ...
Sorry for my english, but I'm Polish and I write using a translator.
I have a small problem: After replacing the services.jar file, grabbed my phone bootloop ... I tried different files - all the same ... What am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately this is common, have you tried pulling the battery and then restarting once it is put back in? Also, have you deodexed (or at least deleted the odex file to services.jar)? This is required, I suggest deodexing first and then replace the services.jar file.
Polish translation (used Google translate so forgive if it is inaccurate):
Niestety jest to powszechne, czy próbowałeś wyciągając baterię, a następnie ponowne uruchomienie po jego umieścić z powrotem w? Również, czy deodexed (lub przynajmniej usunięte pliki ODEX do services.jar)? Jest to konieczne, proponuję deodexing a potem zastąpić plik services.jar.
Próbowałem cały czas... Pełen root + deodex... Chciałem dodać sobie wygląd z Z2, jednak wersja, która działa (i nie potrzebuje superuser), jest niekompatybilna z Gravitybox... A do reszty potrzebuje superuser mod...
I tried all the time ... Full root + deodex ... I wanted to add the look of Z2, but the version that works (and does not need superuser), is incompatible with Gravitybox ... And the rest needs superuser mod ...
