....i want to install .zip files themes on my arc.
phone : xperia arc
firmware : 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42
rooted via flashtool v 0.4.2

Currently it is not possible via locked bootloader, you have to unlock bootloader.
I am also waiting any method that will work with locked bootloader.

If i am sure Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same devices, only difference is Cpu clock(S-1.5 Ghz SL-1.7 Ghz) So i think its the same relock way as with Xperia S.

I am pretty sure that the relocking ftf file over here works for S and SL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Also, before you relock, just be sure to flash stock ics first with Flashtool and then flash the relocking ftf file.
Btw, you can still update to official JB with an unlocked bootloader. Once someone receives the update in his/her country, the ftf file will be made and released here for everyone. Also, Sony has their official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices.

Yes. You Can Flash Relock ftf. Both Are Same Device With Different Clock Speed.
It should not create any issue.
USING FLASHTOOL
First Flash The ICS (Exclude TA in Options)
Then, Flash The FTF Relock (Include TA in options)

That trick works only with Xperia S i believe.

Flash zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/super-mod-bravia-engine-2-bring-install-t2610923
Then go to settings /backup reset and hit fectory reset no need to formate internal memory
Reboot
And done

Thank you so much i will try it
I have deodexed rom may i try in this rom?there are two zips?may i flash the two zips? and the page tells to delete credetial manager service apk and odex. may i delete them?
So as the title reveals, I have unlocked the BL and tried a few custom roms. Didnt liked any so back to stock. But i just came to know that we loose bravia engine after we unlock the BL. But as I m on stock 4.1.2 I do see the bravia engine on/off toggle. Its quite confusing. Have i really lost bravia engine? Or it just gets restored when we flash stock roms?
Well If i have lost my BE, any way to restore it back? i mean will locking the BL do?
thanks!

Yes, You get the option for Bravia Engine after You flash the stock ROM or stock based ROM. Also, if You had not taken backup the TA partition before unlocking bootloader, then You cannot have the Bravia Engine back, even if You get the option for it. If You had taken backup, then it will work after restoring, and that too only on stock firmware.

TA backup are unique for each device, and using other people's TA backup would brick Your phone. You can try those mods, but taking a backup is recommended and trying these backups on stock or stock based ROM. I have not used them. so can't comment anything other than that.
