hey everyone!
i got SE xperia arc with 4.0.4 android version (4.1.B.0.587) model LT15a and its rooted.
i searched few themes in this site and i found one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904624
i downloaded the theme file but i dont know what to do with him...i know i need CWM recovery..what i dont know is how to use it..install this...and where i can find version for my arc.
if someone can help me with this please i'll be very greatfull !!
Look in theme, app section to download cwm recovery, until you are familiar suggest you use v5 install app then open app and install cwm into system.
Once installed shut down phone restart then start pressing back key when you see Sony logo, you will enter recovery to navigate around use the vol keys to move up and down and the enter key to select.
To install theme or other mods select install from sd card when in recovery locate downloaded file sd select to install reboot phone and it should install.
But before installing any mod or theme etc always make a backup with cwm recovery. Incase you mess up phone.

okay this should be working put this meta-inf in your rom and then flash it.
FYI. use .zip format whenever it's upto any zip related to android because .rar won't work with recovery.

That's because the camera app in jellybean was not fully compatible with our wfs... BT now it's made fully working by the genius dev jdevs..:thumbup:
So u download the latest 4.2.2 jellybean built by jdev... It is almost bug free...

I think there no is another method.
Maybe flash KDZ back, root, unlock bootloader, install CWM and restore backup.
ok. thank u.... but when im connected in recovery mode(twrp) my device is shown as nexus4, so will i be able to flash kdz still???

Yes. Is just that for KK we need the lastets TWRP, which is not for Optimus G and we use the Nexus 4 TWRP. Or at least i think so. You can flash kdz.

Thank you atfish, davevinci and all other helpfull members, who guided me through this entire nightmare.., after 4 to 5 hours of googling, i did an adb sideload push savvyrom v3 to my phone, now everything is up and running... Thank you so much...
Just one quick question: I have my old freegee backup untouched in my internal memory. Now, to install the cwm recovery, do I have to use the old version of freegee apk again or just flashing the cwm zip through twrp will work??? Please advice and thanks a lot once again...

The freegee backup is not nessesary for anything. If your phone is running stock firmware, i recommend root it using framaroot, and unlock bootloader with freegee. This will install a recovery.
If you already have TWRP, delete script lines of CWM recovery and install it. If you dont know how to do it tell me.

Freegee backup is your efs and boot files for later use if required. Save them in dropbox or something they are very handy in bad times.
If you are already unlocked with freegee than you have a custom recovery just boot into recovery and update the recovery using zip. Like the cwm one I have posted.
Yes if you are not unlocked, use the old freegee.apk

Hi all,
Anyone have the problem when flashing the CM11 rom?
I get the latest rom which is "20140106" and when the in CWM, i would get an error (Status 7).
I view the log function and it print out "failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory"
Is that mean the zip file i download has a missing class file?
Need some advice from expert.
Thanks and Regards,
Sam

You should use a 6.0.4.5 recovery to flash CM11.

First of all, thanks for the reply and help.
I see.. So that's the problem. I have search over the forum on how to change recovery but don't understand how to do it.
I have download Odin 4.43 and downloaded (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-ancora.tar & Ancora.ops ) from the thread of the rom by acro but how to do next?
According to the tutorial, Long press Volume Up + Menu + Power and release Power to get into the Download Mode but when I do so, it booted to my current recovery which is CWM 5.5.0.4.
Is there any link or tutorial that can guide me to could help me success change the CWM of my galaxy w?
Need more advice on this issue and hope to be able to get the KK rom..
Thanks in advance!
I have successfully installed the KK rom and changed the way CWM
Finally figure it out
Thanks
Glad you have found it. The same happen with me yesterday but now it's OK. Now i can taste KK 4.2.2 in my SGW

2. Put it on SD Card
3. Go to Recovery and simply flash the zip

5. Done!

No it doesn't, Its just Deodex for the rom. You need to flash SuperSU in recovery separately for gaining root

hey @batrian,

i didn't choose zipalign option as it had some issues.My Deodex zip came out to be of 333MB,not like 396MB of other deodex zips.

Oh really? thats bad :-s . okay this is how I did it :
when you run "deodex_bat" first press 1 then you get the folder called "System" and its sub-folders. Then inside it, it must be folders of "app" and "framework" and "priv-app" .
then I manually copied the files for each folder from phones system and put them to their respective folders(folders made in the Kamome.)
then that's all. I chose number 3 and it started to deodex and for me it took very long time to do it.
When done, I chose number 4 and it automatically gave me the zip for flash. and after flashing did the DALVIK-CACHE wipe only.
and i never did zip align.
GOOD LUCK! hope this work.
and sorry for bad Grammar.

Oh v5 is out? Now I read the thread and just saw it. well I used version 3 that time and it was kitkat compatible.
