Well, I have the HTC touch pro, and I'm bored of this theme. I use the Manilla Customizer, but that has gotten old as well. So this just gives me the final question, how do you install themes? I have downloaded a few, I just don't know how to use them.
Thanks.

Try this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Im not sure if you have the theme files and you wanna change them.. but if thats the case this app should help you.
Also, in future, before you ask a question, see if you can find something in the forum that might have already answered your question. I just searched for Change Theme in the Forum search and this link was the first hit..

Unfortunately, that program doesn't work. I have tried searching, but this stuff is complicated.
To go a little off topic, people say to extract some files in the windows directory of my phone. Do you know what exact directory that is? Sorry, if it sounds "noobish".
Thanks.
Is there anyway we can push the HTC sync back to one of the hero builds , such as the Drizzy builds... ????

I don't think it was ever in JacHero. It's in Haykuro6.0, that's a Rogers ROM though, so I don't know if it's the same or not. Btw, what is HTC sync?
If you dont have adb and want to copy something you can use the terminal:
su
cp sdcard/somerandomfile.apk /new/location
so for example
su
cp /sdcard/htcsync.apk /system/sd/app_s
I highly doubt that's the correct location, just an example of how to use the cp command to copy stuff.

You will be better off PMing JAC for location and instructions since he is the one who took it out of the build. The reason I'm saying this is that he might of take out some libraries and/or drivers that are necessary for it as well. Have him reply in this thread so everyone can see it.
Good luck

one problem with that , jac seems to have his PMS disabled ...
In that case, PM Drizzy Drake Rogers or TwistedUmbrella, they also develop Hero ROMs and should be able to help you ;-)

Any luck on this?
I'd like to know, too.
So I did some research and found out that a beta version of KingxKx Hero Rom includes HTC_Sync. (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563294 / http://www.4shared.com/file/134955673/b3aa02e6/KiNgxKxROM_Beta1_signed.html)
I flashed it and it works flawlessly (syncing contacts and calendar). It was removed in subsequent versions though.
I found a set of .apk files (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553996 / http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=208015&d=1248333223) which, when installed on newer Hero roms, adds Sync functionality again, but there's a flaw:
The PC software recognizes the device not as a Hero, but as a Magic. HTC Sync for Magic only syncs contacts.
This is either because:
a) the files stem from a HTC Magic and therefore only add "Magic" functionality or
b) the rom maker somehow changed the roms "appearence" to look like a HTC Magic to the PC Software.
To be sure I need to extract the pcsii.apk and sync.apk from either a stock Hero rom or the Beta from above.
Can somebode help me out with this? I have no idea how to do that.
I tried simply taking the pcsii.apk from the zip files of releases which had the Outlook Sync still intact, but the Hero Rom (Kingklick 1.8) wouldn't let me install it.
What are .odex files, do I need them, and if yes, how do I install them to custom Roms?
I see that Outlook Sync support is not very popular with the rom community, hence it's among the first things removed from roms, but I'd really like to use it.
There must be some people around that know a fair bit about rom optimization and would be able to do this in a minute or two.
Rom makers don't answer to PMs and I just don't know enough about this.
So if anyone sees this who has done something similar before, please help!
Here is the one I install. I only sync with outlook. Google's not getting my data..
It's worked with every HERO rom that I've tried.
Dude....
YOU MADE MY DAY!
I don't know where you got that one from, but it just works!
Fantastic, thank you very much!
I have a few noob questions about rooting on cdma hero. these questions also might other people who are totally new to this. Please answer the questions in most basic english, thank you.
1. what can you do after you root the CDMA hero?
2. pertaining to 1st question, since CDMA hero sprint is somewhat different from original hero, after rooting can you do the same things on CDMA hero sprint has the other htc hero?
3. Is there something similar to installous and cydia on the hero/andorid?
4. getting the "free" apps from websites/torrents/or other means, will it work on cdma hero. to clarify the question, since most apps are listed as for dream and other andorid, will it work for CDMA hero?
5. when you dowloand the free apps how do you install it on to your phone (i know this question is prob answered on the forum but if someone wouldn't mind explaining it in a simple way then it would be appreciated.)
6. also the openhome or ahome i think, what is the difference to root and add themes then use one of those programs. assuming you download the program from the web.
7. what is difference between a rom and theme?

1.) all sorts of things! (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root)
2.) There are some differences but it's all the same for the most part (the main differences are what ROMs and Recovery Images you can use)
3.) There's no need for Cydia on the hero/android since you can install apps direct from the web or anywhere by default (just checkbox: Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources).
4.) You can download apps direct from the web just fine, see above. Some apps are coded specifically to take advantage of other models but they usually will say so...and if it doesn't work, you can just uninstall it from the app manager.
5.) When you download a free app, you just run it and it installs (If that doesn't work, you may need a file manager, I use Astro file manager from the market)
thanks for info!

6 & 7. Themes change the look of your UI. They are not permanent things and can be removed at any time with no problem or messing with backups etc. Roms are what you need root for. Roms can fully change code inside of the phone and can extend functionality past what you can usually do ie(stock roms cant wifi tether but the custom rom can). Roms are harder to get rid of though and to go back to what it was before you have to restore your phone to a previous state. Its all up to what you think you need.
Hey sorry If I'm posting in the wrong forum, but I guess this question is related... I have a Mytouch, Flashed with Cyanogen 4.2.12.2. Is there any way I can install custom fonts without using a home replacement program like ahome or openhome? If so can you please explain how? I'm fairly good with computers and stuff I just wanna know if its possible.

There is a fonts folder in /system. Just push your font files there via adb, the terminal, or a metamorph, then reboot.

Hey Guys,
do you know what this is?
And do you know where can i get this?
fiden
If I remember rightly that looks like the orange (or maybe Tmobile) launcher, it was included in RCmix rom a while back when I used to use it I think, not sure if it is still included in that ROM, maybe ask on the RC mix thread :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702398
hey thank you... i need 10 Posts to write in the thread .. so im stuck to ask here
No problem, looking at that thread it is still in it, so maybe you could just install the rom?
Hey, would it be possible to get that samsung launcher to the villainrom13? Or especially the application menu! I like the swipe menu more than the scrolling one. Just asking and trying to get the 10 posts as well
EDIT: Ah never mind! Found it here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735632
Should allways search before asking!
