Extraction of RFS (Basic thing)​
Well, THis is the First thing you should do.
Here are the steps:
-> Download a Firmware of your choice from the above link.
-> If you Firmware is in .zip format, be sure to extract the FW to a folder.
-> In the folder, you should find a PDA file ( The file which use put in the PDA place when you flash using ODIN)
-> Install 7-Zip if you dont have it, if you have it...Proceed to next step
->Right Click on the PDA file and open the archive using 7-zip.
-> Now, you can see a file named "system.rfs" or "factoryfs.rfs" or "systemFS.rfs", just copy the file to your C:\ (YOU CAN COPY IT ANYWHERE. I am taking C:\ as my base location)

you can use that post for spesific info about SGY. for an instance, you mentioned about system.rfs in your 1st post. well...SGY's stock rom doesn't have that kind of file. instead, it have system.img which somehow cannot extracted by magicISO. the common method used to build the kernel is a little bit differet too. you may check sgy.creed post about build a kernel. his method is not work for SGY but you can find a proper guide created by irfanbagus on 1st page.

it must be having .rfs !
Wat does rfs mean ?
File system(root) so it must be having .. While flashing firmware through odin does it downloading system.rfs ??

and magic iso can extract .img file

not every device has same structure on stock firmware. some devices have system.rfs but some of them have system.img instead. as a prove, if you use dsixda kitchen, you'll see an option to extract system files from system.img file. you may also download a sgy's stock firmware from doky78's post to verify it.
btw, before you continue I'd like to suggest to make a sgy rom by yourself. no need to make a modified one. you only need to make a flashable stock rom.

factoryfs.rfs

SGY does not have factoryfs.rfs like other Galaxys.
but magicISO works on SGY odinized stock ROM tar files, when untarred. stock ROM is odexed though. deodexing gives you some smali/baksmali error messages.

lol...this old thread. forget it, mai. this guy know nothing about rom development. most of his guide is never could be used to build a rom for sgy.

OK so now people know this thread is not very useful. just to not waste anybody's time

And I thought this was a new thread

well, thats a shame , where can i find it , there must be a way to get it or even to create it from the stock .tar.md5 one ?!!

If you want to start modding then search disxda kitchen
That also supports tar, you won't need to have cwm.

dr.ketan , first I would like to thank you for the amazing all in one thread and the modding thread , i have learned how to root and install a custom ROM from your guides , honestly , i love your work man
I have installed the framework from your thread and tried to extract the systemUI using a terminal emulator after i have rooted the phone , but it gives mee (ssh:no ta found) error every time i use it on any of the samsung stock ROM , and as you know without a clean systemUI i wont be able to start modding , and i have searched for a way to convert the .tar.md5 ROM to .zip or at least extract the systemUI from them but with no luck , all threads explaining it are sony phones threads .
To sum up , i wish if you can show me how to get this systemUI from the stock base ROM.
Ps, your MultiMod_V16 is amazing , thanks for that , i am planning to use some of the mods in it in my first experimental build.

First you need to deodexed SystemUI
That's why i have suggest you kitchen, with that you can extract tar and deodexed all app in one go.
If kitchen looks difficult then
find some img extract software, with that you can extract System apk from tar. later you can find any deodexer utility to deodex SystemUI.

Thanks

Xperia Keyboard FC [Solved]

I extracted Xperia keyboard from firmware 4.1.B.0.587 and put it in system/app.I copy textinput-tng.apk. Is this the only file ?
I am using UHD 5.0.1.
How to fix it ?

Libs and/or language files are incompatible. Most likely both.

You wrote the package name. The actual file is textinput-tng.apk.
As I said, the language files (stock are in /system/usr/xt9) may be incompatible, causing the error.
EDIT: I just checked the installation of Xperia Z1 Honami ROM Superlative Edition. It has the option in AROMA installer, allowing the stock SE keyboard to be installed.
It features such file list:
Code:
/system/app/textinput-tng.apk
/system/lib/libXT9Engine.so
/system/usr/textinput/config.xml
/system/usr/xt9/... - This folder includes all the language files in .ldb format
So basically, you can either extract these files/folders from that ROM .zip file (open the zip file, navigate to Aroma/keyb/default) and push them to your device.

Thanks for help it worked.

System.img is divided in multiple files. How can I extract it?
Can anyone of u just upload a file or send it to me?

search for the simg2img-tool to convert them to single images. Then you can open it.
