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.

[Q] Need help to root Galaxy Gio

Hello, Today I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Gio. Then I installed Rom Manager. But when I tried to Flash ClockWork Mod Recovey my device is not being displayed in the list that appears. So I am stuck. Please let me know how to proceed. My Android version is 2.3.3 Early help will be really appreciated. I want to install Cyanogen Mod 9.1. Hope to hear soon.
Thanks
It's better to flash CWM via Recovery. Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32202039&postcount=4
Does it start at all? Cause i think you hardbricked your phone. Check my stickied thread for more details about rom manager.

umm he actually means tht he couldnt install CWM via ROM manager because his gio wasnt listed
And why using ROM Manager to install CWM? I think it's easier to install it via Recovery.

It isnt really easier, but safer it is.
Flashing fecovery with ROM manager will result in a hard brick

Thanks for the replies. Really appreciate the prompt replies. I have not bricked my phone as I was not able to Flash Clock Work Mod recovery. I have uninstalled the ROM Manager. Could you please ellaborate as to how to flash CMW via Recovery? My phone' android version is 2.3.3 This is the first time I am rooting my phone so I dont have that much of knowledge.
Thanks
Search xda for 'superoneclick' for root
Than use home+power buttons to enter recovery mode and install cwm-v2.zip or something.
But you should have root acces already otherwise theres no sense you installed rom manager

Well I use different phone (Xperia ion) but normally and usually,installing ClockWorkMod Recover is just one click bat file,follow the screen instruction and you are done but as far as I can remember,you must root your device too

Okay, maybe I can help you
Firstly, touchscreen won't work in CWM. You must use the volume up and down buttons to navigate. To click okay, press the power/camera button. Now, if you have a rom.zip on your internal storage then select install zip from internal storage and select the zip in it's respective location. Then press the power/camera button. You will get a confirmation page. Choose yes and let the flashing begin. Once the flashing is done, go back to the main menu and press reboot system now. Hope that you understand.
yeah thanks all i fixed it all last night with a lot of sweat and tears
there where 2 problems. i forgot to instal a rom on the internal storage. and when cwm9 was installed without the rom on the sd i wasn't able to get the phone conected to my pc to transfer the rom.zip. and it looked like cwm9 was running and could not turn the phone off. But after i managed to flash the stock firmware and then transfered the rom.zip and rooted my phone and installed cwm. the rom instal part was easy !
many thanks for the help also was it a bit to late but it was my own fault i dindt need to do that so late in the evening

[Q] How to enter Recovery Mode on Ion

Hey, I have a friend with a Sony Xperia Ion (as identified by my computer) she's locked out of it; someone else tried to figure out her pattern and entered it more than 20 times. As far as I know, she doesn't know her secret question or her google account information, either.
My plan to try to bypass the pattern lock is to use AROMA file manager to delete the gesture.key file in /data/system, hopefully that'll remove the pattern lock. So here are my questions:
How can I mount the filesystem on USB to transfer AROMA to her SD?
How can I get into recovery mode to flash AROMA?
The second one is what I really don't get. How does recovery mode work on the Xperia Ion? I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Everything I've tried (Hold volume up/volume down/both while powering on) still causes the phone to boot normally.
Did you flash recovery before? If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or press volume + button 5-6 times while booting. Remember Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.
And I know another way to remove lock code. Just flash stock ftf. But are you going to loose all the apps.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Thanks!!! I didn't realize sony phones lacked a stock recovery. I don't want to flash stock ftf becuase I want to preserve apps if at all possible. Can you recommend a custom recovery to flash?
hey try this video it will help u to get unlock without losing data

[Q] Nothing is showing in CVM Recovery

I have been on this rom for a while:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267230 and everything was working fine, but now i wanted to change to this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648304 But now my problem is that I flash provided kernel from this new rom and when i boot to recovery it is not showing anything. There aren't any options to wipe, nothing... at the bottom left it just say cvm recovery and a number and that's it. Can you help me? Did i do something wrong?
If you waited too long and cwm still did not show, you should try this:
reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata

Seems like you are doing something wrong, follow instructions written on that thread carefully, if you still can't manage it, stick with stock ROM.
