[GUIDE] How To Replicate Your Arc/S Info Sticker
Here is a little help for anyone who is planning to replace Xperia Arc/S housing (because old one is cracked, or you simply want to give your Arc/S fresh new look).
As most of you probably know, the most tricky part in exchanging Arc/S housing, is how to safely remove that under-battery info sticker, with phone identification/information, without destroying it, or wrinkling it.
Well, if you know some basics about Photoshop, here is a little help for you.
I created fully editable psd template, where you can input your phone info and serials, as well as barcodes.
Then you can print it on a sticky paper and have a brand new sticker, that you can stick on your new housing, and forget about heating the old sticker, and trying to safely peel it off.
Preview of how the template looks like:
And here is a link to psd file:

So, all you have to do is:
1. Open this psd file in your photoshop;
2. Take a look at your sticker, and input your information into template;
3. Go to a website: http://www.barcode-generator.org and input your serials from the sticker, to get proper barcodes. First barcode on the sticker is generated from your S/N number, and second (longer) bar code is generated from the longer serial on the right side of S/N one. Save your barcodes as png images, and open them in photoshop. Cut them out, resize them if needed, and paste them in their places on a sticker;
4. After you finish everything, save this file as png image and go to your nearest print-shop and print it on a sticky paper. You don't need to resize it as it is already set in proper dimensions (5cmx5,5cm), with 300dpi density.
And that's it. You will get new HQ sticker, and you won't need to go through troubles with old one.
Now stick it on your brand new housing, and have a brand new Arc/S again.
