I am planning to cook a custom rom for S5830i but the main problem is that I cannot extract the S5830iXXLA2_S5830iODDLA1_RST_S5830iDDLA1_HOME.tar file!!
Any suggestions on how I can do it?
Thanks in advance!

Use flashtool.
Use 7zip to extract .sin files from .ftf, then extract .sin files with flashtool.

i extracted sin files and from tht i got system ext4 file... i need the folder of system ... how to get it from ext4 file.. pls guide me....i had tried sin2img , ftf file extractor etc... but all end with errors... do u know the compression size of ftf fie of ics...
How did you got ext4 format from Neo/V ics?? Neo/v use yaffs, not ext4.
For ext4 you can use mount -o loop system.img system in linux environment.
But for Neo/V you don't need that.
If you are using windows use Linux reader to mount ext4 image and copy files.

Re-flash ROM is the best idea.
this is the right call. however, time-consuming and troublesome to deal with. so I wanted to systemUI original. I'd appreciate your help in this regard, and much mercy.

If you have the FW FTF you can extract the sistem.sin from it (with 7-Zip or other software)
Then you extract it's content with flashtool -> Tools -> Sin Editor..
Then you need to get ext4_unpacker and you can extract anything you want from it.
I'd gladly U/L it but I have Xperia P not U.

FTF file is just a zip file, inside it there is a file system.sin you should extract from it.
Any archiving software should be able to do it.
After extracting system.sin, open flashtool go to tools -> sin editor.
Click the 3 dots and select system.sin, click extract data.
When finished there will be 2 more files in the same directory of system.sin, system.partinfo and system.ext4.
system/ext4 is the file you need.
Get ext4_unpacker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921399
With it you can extract any file you want from system.ext4

I can't use it since I don't have a system.dat file. I only have system.img file.

Oh , I thought you were running Ubuntu , because with Ubuntu you can mount the system.img with a command and browse it with the file explorer as if it was an USB removable disk.
