I want the original sound mode for the Z1 c6903
This is Z1c forum. Maybe a Z1 user will see it, but make sure you post in Z1 forum.
This is how I did from Z1C:
1. On computer, open up the mod's zip file
2. On phone, with root browser, delete the files from your system folders, that are present in the mod's zip (dont care if they were already there before the mod install, we will put back the original files)
3. DONT REBOOT
4. Download (or if you already have it on your computer, open) your custom rom's zip. If you are on stock, then download any stock based rom
5. Extract mixer_paths.xml from system/etc, and libspeexresampler.so from system/lib, push them to phone, and paste to their places. (in my case only theese 2 were missing, but i installed an other sound mod, so probably it put some of the files back)
6. You should check, that every file that is in the rom's zip file is present on your phone, because if one is missing you can get bootloop. First, i compared the dolby mod's zip with the rom's zip, and when i found a match, i checked on my phone, if the file exists. If no, then extract from rom zip and copy to phone.
8. There are some lines in the build.prop too, but I think you can leave them (the build.prop changes can be found in the dolby.sh script, in the root of the mod's zip, if you want, you can compare yours, and whats in the script, and delete the unnecessary lines)
7. After you are sure that 0 system file missing from your phone, reboot
Thats how I "uninstalled" the dolby mod

Searching around has given little result. Most other threads talk about ripping framework.apks apart and combining them.
What I'm more interested is in combining things together and flashing them at one go (UVOC kernels, modified rosie.apks, modified battery on the notification bar), instead of one by one (renaming 1 zip to update.zip, drop into SD, boot, flash update zip, reboot, renaming another zip to update.zip, drop into SD, boot, flash, rinse, repeat).
For example, I have 3 zips,
A modified rosie.apk to give a transparent app drawer (fx-2.10.405.2_rosie-dnd_transappdrw.zip)
A Battery Custom Z (UOT-ZC-10-08-16-17-1.zip)
and a UVOC Kernel (thanks to richardtrip) (UVOC_Kernel.zip)
Opening them up through winrar,
the rosie has 2 folders, system/app and META-INF
the battery z has framework and also META-INF (which I assume to be the same?)
the UVOC kernal has system/lib, boot.img and META-INF as well.
how do I go about combining them into 1 zip? just cut/paste in winrar? then autosign?
And shouldn't the framework folder in the battery z zip be in system/framework?
Thanks in advance!

you would also have to re-write the update script and/or binary
Rewriting update scripts and binary.. Oh boy.
I haven't gotten too far into ROMs yet. I don't think I will be rewriting scripts any time soon.
Thanks for you help anyway, Androhero!
On a side note, even if I were to flash the update.zips one by one...
Shouldn't the framework folder in the battery z zip be in system/framework instead of just sitting in the root of the zip? Does this even matter? or is that the way it is
Not nessesarly, thats what the update script is for, it basicall tells the recovery what to put where, you can also use it to delete files and carry out other commands, look in the meta inf folder the update script is in the google folder just open it with notepad

Why do you need to rename to Update.zip if i may ask... just use clockwork... that way it gets a few less steps at least
1. Put all zips on sd card
2. flash rom
3. reboot to rom, let it load for 30 mins
4. Go back into recovery, flash all mods, in correct order (if you have to that flashes framework-res or something)
5. reboot
6. Have fun

I'm not exactly sure. I always thought that was the way.
Hi,
This morning I tried to install the xperia S apk file to my xperia arc s running on android 4.03.
However before replacing, I took a backup of existing home.apk using root explorer.
I replaced the existing one with a new home.apk and then did a reboot.
After reboot I am not able to see the home.apk at all in the default application list.
I did a factory reset but still dont see the home.apk.
Now i am unable to see the screen itself. Kindly help me to restore the home.apk
Small query: Is it possible to install home.apk file from CWM recovery?
Please guide me
Did you changed permission before replacing the apk?
To make it working you need to change the permission of Home.apk then replace and reboot.
Permission should be like this-
r-w-
r - -
r - -
So I guess now your problem is that you can power on your device then but it is stuck @ boot logo right?
IF yes then you might try this.
Download this launcher from the link below. It's Zeam launcher and it's free available in the market.
http://www.mediafire.com/?991i94rx5kaxy85
After downloading, unzip it and put the apk. in to the following flashtools location-
Flashtools\Custom\app\ [I assume you have flashtools installed and also have root access]
Then open Flashtools and power on the device and connect it. Your device will stuck @ boot logo, no problem just connect it.
Then you should see that in Flashtools displays a message that "root access allowed"
Then @ top bar of flashtools you will see some icons. One of them is a curved arrow and that indicates apk installer. Click it and it should install the Zeam launcher to your device.
Then you restart the device and you will be able to use the phone using Zeam Launcher. You can restore the Home.apk as well.
This was the complicated way.
Now if u have CWM recovery installed and can boot in to recovery then you just need a flashable zip of the Home.apk
There are many Flashable Zip available in the Theme & Apps section. Download one from that. Then put that zip in to you SD card. Reboot in recovery and install that zip.
Since you can not operate your phone directly so may need a Card reader to access the memory card of your phone to save the Zip there.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I guess I made the work more complicated but I could learn something out of it.
I actually could restore the home.apk in a bit different and complex manner as compared to your solution.
I entered the CWM more and did a factory reset and then did a reboot.
Once done, I got all the steps of registering mobile for first use
I could get into settings but couldn't get to the home screen to access applications. So I did some stupid work but seems like that was a life savior
I connected a headset and there was a pop up stating "a new accessory connected"
From that i could select an application for launch and I chose "Application Installer". I could now access the apk files from application installer and then i installed one home.apk (I guess its for xperia S) and then did a reboot.
I am now able to see the homescreen and everything but its the homescreen of xperia S. Now i got back into the root explorer app and then tried to change the permission of home.apk (xperia S) to the one you just suggested and then replaced the home.apk (default apk for xperia arc s) and replaced and did a reboot.
But I still see that home.apk is not replaced with the default home.apk of xperia arc S.
Is it possible to get back my default home.apk (xperia arc S) if so please guide me.
Sorry for being so stupid and messing up things here. This is the first time I am trying to work with a root device.
Aside from setting permissions and changing owner to "root", you need to go into settings, apps, all and clear the data for Xperia Home. Then reset. It's worked for me on both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
If you can access root explorer then i believe you can easily replace with the original Home.apk of Xperia ARC S
This is the link for Xperia ARC S Home.apk of ICS 4.0.3
http://www.mediafire.com/?s4m6f8d9dmqhp0g
And do this and it's a must as adielee mentioned.
Clear the data after replacing. I forgot mention it earlier.
Heya,
I had the same issue and this is what caused it; not enough free space on the system partition (/system).
Go to the /system folder an delete bloatware apk's and/or .apk's you don't need, like the clock widgets and/or the powersaver.
After I did that, I had like 8 Mb of free space and then I installed a new/edited home.apk & rebooted into to new home
After the boot, the system partition only had 500Kb free space while the home.apk was only 1.5Mb.
And yes, it is possible to make your own CWM installer for the home.apk
Take a look at this post; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23358807&postcount=94
Download the .zip file and copy your home.apk into the .zip (overwrite existing file!)
Worked Perfectly !!
I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly now!!! thanx auni & adielee!!
Hi,
I need to install HTC's Locations app on any custom ROM (ie: MyOneV or CM9/CM10)
So any1 can help me with this ?
(i tried it though, by moving these files (from MyOneV5.0FX Removed apks) htclocation.apk,locationpicker.apk,locatiooninstaller.apk in System/app folder bt it didn't worked)
When you move those files to system app manually, you need to put right permission rw-r--r-- then reboot.
Or the simplest way is, open the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip with 7-zip (not extract), delete all apks that you don't need and leave those location files in zip.
Then flash the zip in recovery.
And these files will not work on a CM rom.

:good:
Thankz
I tried that too, by removing all apks from zip keeping the said three files & flash it in recovery, still it doesn't appeared in apps!
Though i'll try again may b missed something or some file..
I just tried it, it works.
Your filename looks different, attached here the files from the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip, I named it to location.zip. Flash in recovery.
It Worked: Thanx
Here I will tell you how to get all or most of the apps from google play and I will also tell you how to swap your internal and external memory.
I am not responsible if anything unwanted is to happen to your device.
It is not needed but as a precaution make a backup.
How to get all apps
Before you start:
Must be rooted
Have a file explorer with root privileges (I recommend root explorer)
1. Download the edited build.prop (link provided below)
2. Open your file explorer and navigate to /system
3. Rename the build.prop already located there, to build.prop.bak
4. Paste the build.prop you downloaded
5. Change its permissions to rw-r--r--
6. Reboot and enjoy
If you want to put your device back to its original settings delete build.prop and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop and reboot
How to swap internal and external storage
Before you start:
Must be rooted
Have a file explorer with root privileges (I recommend root explorer)
Have Script Manager installed (link here)
1. Download the edited swap.sh and restore.sh (links provided below)
2. Open your file explorer and navigate to /data
3. Paste swap.sh and restore.sh here
4. Change their permissions to rwxrwxrwx
5. Open Script Manager
6. Navigate to /data
7. Click on swap.sh and tick su, boot and is executable. Do the same for restore.sh
8. Run swap.sh wait a 10 seconds then kill it
9. Your storage should have now been swapped, go to settings > storage to check
This will only last until you next reboot. If you want to swap them back but do not want to reboot, repeat steps 8 and 9 but with restore.sh
If you would like to use my edited build.prop you are welcome to. I cannot remember where i got the swap.sh but credit goes to them.
Hello, Can You please specify weather this method works for Xperia M C1904/1905, OR Xperia M Dual C2004/2005?
And Everyone on this forums an Important Request Please Mention specifically Which Device you are Posting anything for....
If we changed the stock build.prop with this,the model of the phone will be changed from Xperia M to XperiaZ1
This will work for C1905, but I do not know if it will work on any others, and the build.prop will make your phone think it is a Z1
Quick question. Why do we need to do this? In your post you mention,
Here I will tell you how to get all or most of the apps from google play

Is there something we can do to the Xperia M that can cause it to not be able to download apps from Google Play?
What do you mean by cause it not to be able to download apps?
Sent from my C1905 Xperia M
I recently bought a Xperia M SS. And I am reading through the forums to understand what all is available for this device. Your post provides instructions on "how to get all or most of the apps from google play".
That line gives me the impression that without following the instructions you have given, I will be unable to "get all or most apps from google play".
So I ask, what do you mean by that statement. I have only rooted (full root) my phone. I am currently able to download and use all apps that I need. I need to know whether or not I need to follow your instructions. Who are these instructions aimed at? Is there a subset of people who are unable to "get all or most apps from google play"?
What I mean by this is that it will allow you to get incompatible apps, such as asphalt 8 which is actually fully compatible.

The build.prop will not work on firmware version 15.1.C.2.8
Is this work on cm12.1?
Hi everyone
This is my first thread, so I decide to make it useful to everyone
Let's GO !
What You Want :
ES File Explorer File Manager (OR any file explorer supports zip extracting)
Rooted Phone
Nandroid Backup (You don't know how important it is)
1- enable root explorer and set permission to r/w (read & write)
2- extract the flashable zip to your memory
3- go to the existing folder
4- copy everything except META-INF folder to the root of your phone
5- "Must" show replace confirmation select confirm
6- After the copy operation is finished, reboot your device
7- Done, Congratulations
PLEAS NOTE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ABOUT YOUR DEVICE IF YOU BREAK IT RESTORE THE NANDROID BACKUP
note if its a new file you need to set permissions of the file
most files in app are rw-w-w however some may vary depending on what file it is
at the end of the day if you have a flashable zip its much better to flash certain things than push to system so if the flashable zip has already been made for you than you might as well use it
One doubt please

yes just push to system and set permissions - normally rw-r-r
although I dont know why you would want to do this as its always better to flash the file and since you have a flashable zip why not just flash it
Just a confuse

with root browser you can set permissions of any file - please search how
it depends what framework files you are replacing - you cant just replace with any old file from a different rom - it wont work
if its been designed for your rom or you are modding your own files then thats fine
and a flashable zip takes two secs - you dont need a pc - and iv posted a template loads of times
here is it again - just add any files you want to flash to framework in the framework folder
if you want files to go to the app folder just create a folder in system in the zip called app and put files there
same for any other folder in system
