[Q] Frustrated with theme install

---

Hello all,

I have a Rogers Xperia play, 2.3.3. (UK firmware, already rooted).

Locked bootloader, and sim lock, so I can't use the SE website to unlock. Hence I can't get to fastboot, and use any kind of clockwork mod recovery etc..

I made a theme in the UOT kitchen. I provided my framwork-res, and SystemUI files to the site.

How the F#$% do I install this theme? I've read some instructions on using ADB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1065789), but last time I tried that (ADB itself works correctly and sees my phone) using a theme on the Xperia Play forum, my phone went in a reboot loop.

I'd like to avoid having to reinstall my apps again, yes I know I can get a backup application, but that's not the point of this thread

Any advice on how to install this would be appreciated.

Same here but with sim unlocked, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Rooted 2.3.3 bootloader locked ,i tried 6 times ,3 times without changing permissions ,3 with changing permissions and no result i only managed to change the SystemUI.apk to work and not get in the bootloop and the framework-res.apk makes the phone get in the bootloop

same problem here.......Waiting for a newbie tutorial

Have to tried using root explorer to install your theme? It's really easy to do I had a hard time using adb to install my theme too I kept going into bootloop but once I used root explorer got it installed in a few minutes

Sent from my R800i using XDA App

just copy the .apk's to the platform-tools folder, fire up adb and type in

adb remount

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

adb push systemui.apk /system/app

adb reboot

Done

You will get a bootloop, if the theme you are tying to install, has an incompatible framework.... You should always make sure the theme is made for your firmware version, as for the permissions, its only if you use root explorer, if you use adb the correct permissions will already be set

I'm on 2.3.3 UK with Rogers Xperia Play.

I'm using root explorer because I'm lost with ADB

If that's the case the make sure you set permissions rw-r--r-- before you move them into the proper folders. Have fun dude

Just to ad to @thatsupnow's post, move them to /system first and then set permissions there and then move to the correct folder as he said. That should keep you out of bootloop as long as you use compatible themes or your own cooked framework/systemUI as @androhero also mentioned
