Hey guys, i am currently using the enoch theme but dont like the stock lockscreen. Can i go into any theme thread and simply flash their lockscreen only or will this cause incompatibilities?
also i normally use Cm updater for themes, could someone teach me how to add more theme servers, i really dont understand it.
do all the theme creators use cm updater?
if i want to use metamorph do i need to use fastboot? because i have the 3.something Radio i dont think i can use fastboot so does that mean i cant use metamorph

dude really? Just try it if it works it works if not it won't. The other questions you have to check with the theme maker and see if they use the updater or not. Its should say some where on there theme page. then from there you enter in the url or take the barcode scanner and scan the thing if they have it set up..

also i almost forgot. go to the metamorph thread and it will let you know what you need for it to run.
Next time use the "edit" button it's there for a reason.

Supreme thanks ALOT!! You saved me alot of trouble!! Umm.... YEAH! Im at work right now... but Im going to give metamorph a quick try!!
I have a few more questions, Does anyone know the steps to uninstall the facebook/navi hack via SU?
And Im working on gettin the Meta morph 2.0 theme working.... I flashed it using meta morph.... but its missing the advanced launcher.... how do I obtain that?
I mean how do I get the advance launcher for this theme to get the Stericson lock screen
check the lock screen thread for the correct version to match your cyanogen version. it's an update zip that you flash from recovery.
the advanced launcher is available in it's thread as well. you can download a standalone version that installs like a regular app and you can set the advanced launcher as your default home, or you can use adb to push it and actually replace the stock launcher.
after you have those installed, you can apply the metamorph themes for them.
edit - i think there are links to the threads in the 2.0 theme thread
Ok im not sure if this should be posted here or in themes but here is my problem
Will it seems like when ever i try to theme Launcher.apk it doesnt work.
I reboot the phone and then i just get the android loading screen, but i can still get calls and the phone works as normal just without a Launcher app.
So what i want to know is what could cause this?
i themed it before and made an update.zip theme and that works but now its not working even using MetaMorph does the same thing.
*more info*
Then I used openhome to get to subf and tried to install launcher and it gives me cannot be installed on this phone error.
Im runing a rooted 1.6 i believe it was basic off of cm41 i know its old.
did you follow the theming guide?
yea i themed 1.5jf and a few cm builds and never had this problem ,
even theme the build i am on now. But i am trying to change it and thats when i am getting this problem.
Its like when i change something on Launcher.apk it just seems like it doesnt install any more.
I've even themed the Launcher.apk reziped and adb pushed it and still same thing.
I got nandroid backups so its no problem just trying to find out why this is doing this so i can move on an get it to look the way i want.
fiy im only changing app drawer background and the tabs.

So you resigned and everything?
Oh but what rom are you using?
You can't just re-sign one app and push it.. all the apps (except the google ones, which can't be touched) need to have matching keys. The theme guide should tell you which apps need to be signed together.

When i made a couple of themes i used 7zip to open and photoshop to modify certain apps and the framwork.Then when finished rezipped folders then signed.
I downloaded it long ago dont remeber who made its say
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cm41 dan2Sunnyvale )
build number DRC83
Its a ADP 1.6 that was made when 1.6 launched im thinking of switch to another build but had this problem when i did that before.
And yes apk has been resigned the same way i made my theme update.zip
I used the same temple just changed like 2 .png in launcher resigned everything
reboot phone flash. same problem
adb push. same problem
used MetaMorph droid app drawer. same problem
MetaMorph Stock-App-Drawer. same problem
So its not in the signing its something to do with changing the launcher.apk then it no longer wants to work.
hell i even deleted the <packages></packages> info for launcher rebooted and try again and still no luck.
Im going to switch enom build later on and see what happens but i had this problem before with launchers on other builds. Its like I can only theme it onces then it no longer works.
thanks to all that read this i know its long but i cant wrap my head around why all this is happening

Wow thats pretty ancient, it usually says dersert labs or cyanogen and maybe twisted?.
Yea I know its old I need 2 upgrade just haven't felt like redoing the phone, but on another note I tried the metamorph android2.0-stock and every single apk work but lanucher and I didn't try framework. But ill probaly update 2 morrow or 2 night and see if I still have this problem.
Is it possible to get the Rosie Notification Bar on a regular Android ROM without having to flash a theme or a Hero ROM?
You can replace images in the rom of your choice (I believe they will be in framework.apk), sign and flash or you can use MetaMorph from Stericson.
Good luck.
How do you sign folders?

You could just get a hero mm and only apply the framworks.apk then reboot.
Do you think you can post the link for the Framework.apk because my phones being an idiot and when I download the ROM it won't open it says it didn't download correctly and it won't open it ASTRO File Manager I get some error about Java. And what else does the FrameWork change? About the signing its for when I take stuff from one ROM and stuff from another and make my own ROM that's whyy... thanks.
Grrrr @ OP
DO NOT download hero rom and apply parts of it. You CAN NOT apply 1.5 rom parts to 1.6 rom and expect it to work unless you know exactly what you're doing. DO NOT try to sign and push anything unless you know exactly what you're doing. Do not do anyting unless you know exactly what you're doing.
For crying out loud....there is so much info out there that it's impossible not to stumble upon it. Here's my last attempt:
Go to the Market, buy and install MetaMorph from Sterickson (and yes, do buy it, don't be cheap)
Go to the Market and install andExplorer.
Go to this thread and read up on MetaMorph
Go to this thread and pick up whatever mod you need (including a black bar).
Apply and enjoy.
If you want to make your own rom you really shouldn't. Making anything requires a lot of searching and you're clearly not capable of that.
If you want to sign your own packages then do a little research such as this: http://tinyurl.com/y95sj3p
And it will answer any and all of your question.
I have no clue where to post this all i know is mine is a Hero and this is a Hero thread correct? Well I'm trying to do a couple things here.. First of all i want to know how to get rid of things I flashed? Like say I flashed a theme. How do i un flash it? or what ever you call that? Also i was wondering how to combine multiple themes people made together to make it more of my own? If that is possible for someone who's has there phone rooted for 2 days lol. I'm using the newest version of DC. Thanks
The easiest way to remove a theme is to restore a nandroid backup from before you applied the theme. Otherwise, you can extract the ROM that you flashed to your phone, find out what files the theme you flashed modified, and then adb push the original files (from the extracted ROM) to your phone.
Was that all the info on how to get the theme off right?

Yes. Unfortunately, I can't help you on combining themes. All I DO know, is that you would need to put certain icons into certain folders.
Okay thank you Also i just thought of the other thing i needed to know. How do I keep my apps with out having to redownload them all when i want to try out a new ROM? Im guessing its possible considering everyone switches between ROMS alot.
Literally spent all day trying to root my CDMA Hero. Nothing works. I cannot use sync because it disconnects with the debugging and does not allow me to install a previous RUU. So I decided to use an app on the store (one click rooters like z4) it seemed like it worked, got SuperUser, said that my XC Chip was still on...soo I guess Im not rooted. Didn't notice that till I tried to install Cyanogenmod 7 2.3.2 on my device, which sent it back to my saved place (forgot what its called lol). Have no Idea where to go, anyone have a solution to the sync, seems like it would be the easiest way to do it. I have read the wikis, searched, done all I could do. Now I come to you, Help pleaseeee.
Software if you need it
Baseband Version 2.42.02.10.29
well i personally have had the same issues with one click roots,
Id HIGHLY suggest look at the Cyanogenmod wiki
to root and before rooting setting up ABD through the SDK
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Hero_(CDMA):_Full_Update_Guide
edit: PM me if you need anything else
Are you still having trouble gaining root???

The XC, you are referring to is actually for Engineering bootloader S-ON or S-OFF. This has no effect on rooting your phone. Everyone here had S-ON until sometime late last year.
What OS are you running? Windows, Mac, Linux
32bit or 64 bit?
Did you flash a recovery?
Were you able to boot into recovery? (Power off phone, while holding home button, press the power button)
What did you get?
Did you try installing titanium backup to see if you were root?
Download busybox from the market and then open it up and install 1.18.
Try TB again.
Or try installing ROM manager and flash clockwork mod from the app.
Without more info it is really hard to help.

Still having troubles. Im running 64 bit Windows, I thought I flashed a recovery.
When I press home and power to power on I get
"Clearstorage" "Yes" "no"
thats all...
I installed wireless tether for root, when I went to install Cyano it deleted all my apps besides superuser and wont let me download any of them anymore...
You need anymore info?

Yes I read this, this is actually what I used. Problem is that I cannot use HTC Sync. It never lets me update my RUU for some odd reason...
Update lol. Seems like I am still rooted, I can download and use Wifi Tethering for Root Users. And when in Astro file manager I have a file called \root I believe. question is where do I go from now!
Well it depends on what you want to do with your phone. If its running fine then leave it and just boot into recovery and make a backup incase you need it in the future. To do this "make a backup "
Power off. Then hold down volume down and press power. After the white screen appears press home and wait until your recovery appears. Then select backup and restore. From there you should be able to figure it out. If not then just post and you'll receive advice from other members or my self. If you were looking to further mod your phone you could load one of many custom roms provided by the great developers here, increase internal memory to add more storage, load a different kernel to overclock or change the look of your phone
by flashing a custom theme. Its up to you how far you want to take your phone. Well hope this helps.

How do you flash it? Is it basically the same as when I did Cyanogenmod, just go to ROM manager and install it or what? Thanks for all the help btw, I got 2.3 now, just trying to get it the way I want now...
Im a little puzzled as to when you post "flash it" care to share what it is your referring to. If its a rom, then yes you could flash it threw rom manger, but I wouldn't recommend it. The safest way Imo is threw your recovery if you want to flash a rom. Also if your referring to a rom which one??? And when you post "the way you want" what is it that your trying to achieve???

Looks wise and apps is what I mean by "the way I want". And basically what I am talking about is custom themes/looks. How would I flash those through recovery. Thats what I am puzzled about lol
Well if your on 2.3 you should have the theme chooser. If that's the case you locate the theme apk. Download it to your sd card. Then open up a file manger and install the theme apk as you would a regular app. Then exit out of your file manger and go to your app drawer and open up theme chooser. Then select the theme you just installed. After its done installing just reboot. Some of the theme chooser themes have extra add on you have to apply to get the full look of theme. The add ons you have to install via zip themer or metamorph. The zip themer you can find in the android themes and apps thread. It might be on the android market but I'm not sure. Metamorph you can find on the android market. If you need help with that aquire either app and just let me know. Now if your theme is flashable via recovery. Download the theme to the root of your sd card. Which means just put the theme on your sd card and not in any folders. Then boot into recovery by powering down. Then hold volume down. Then press the power button. After the screen appears press the home button. Then when your recovery appears. Always make a backup first. Then choose install update zip or flash update zip. Then locate the theme zip and press the track ball. It will ask you to confirm press the track ball for yes or home for no. Press the track ball and when its done press back and choose reboot. When you reboot you should have your rom themed. Make sure the theme your flashing is for your rom because not all themes are for all roms and if you flash the wrong theme you could be entering boot loop city. Also make sure your battery is at least 60 % to flash anything. This is just my opinion on the battery. Well hope this helps. If you find a certain theme you want to install let me know if you run into any problems.
