Rogers Phones and Themes

Hey guys so ive got one of the Rogers dream phones,.I was wondering if it is possible to flash one of the themes (meteamorph)? The reason I ask is that these phones are EBI1 not EBI0 like the tmobile ones.
Being ebi1 makes it so that not everything is compatible, an example of this is the cyanogen rom, it is not compatible with out a special kernel for our phones.
Once again, are the metamorphosis themes compatible with our ebi1 phones?

I am in the exact same boat lol my provider is fido and I use the latest cyanogen on my rooted ebi1 rogers dream I jus thought that this was a funny coincidence oh and obviously I'm in canada ps . I reall would like it if brian the god who makes our cyanogen port files, ported the 10mb ram hack

Themes are all good. I've used the ones from the cm updater with no issues. I also tried some meteamorphs a while ago with no issues. I think there is an issue with meteamorph on the latest cyanogen thoe. not 100% sure

To the first poster, yeah that would be great because we can't get dwangs fast rom on ebi1. Do you know if anyone has asked him to port it?

Where can I get cm updater from? I didn't find it on the market. And am I correct in thinking that the cm updater does more than just update cyanogen roms?
EDIT ive found it and see that it can update the cm aswell as use themes. I still need an answer to my post after this one.

I am wondering if it is safe to use cm updater to update our phones because we require the special kernal to use cm. Do we need to apply a kernal everytime, does it do it for us, or do we do it ourselves. (This is regarding updating the cm itself not the theme)

Hey guys, so I am still waiting for a response regarding my above post but in addition I would like to say that I now have a theme using cm updater. I downloased the first one in the recommened list. I was wondering what the difference between advance and regular launcher. There where two options for this theme one with regular other with advanced. I chose regular because I don't know what a lanucher is.

i have heard that people have asked him but he hasnet responded with a definitive answer

You just need to add the bcrook Kernel as a theme. Follow the directions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592377
To Update:
1. Themes > Menu > Check Now
2. Select the newest bc-ebi1 file from the theme section
3. Click on it and download it, choose Apply Later when finished.
4. Download the newest Cyanogen ROM from the ROM section. Choose Apply Now.
This will reboot to recovery and flash the newest cyanogenmod. Then apply the previously downloaded port file.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the link andanswer, that will come in handy.
Another question I have is what's the difference between advanced and regular launcher?

You can look at the thread for advanced laucher and see the differences. Folders, change the number of home screens and more.

hmm i have a rogers dream and ive never had problems with themes, cm updater or anything. also ive never had to install any "special" kernel for any rom ive put on my phone.
im pretty sure i used the "rogers one touch root" guide in the dev forum when i originally rooted my phone.
is there a difference between the old and new rogers dreams? or are all this ebi1??

I use the enoch theme and it works great and looks even better. I think that most roms don't touch the kernel so they should be fine.

There is a difference but it isn't with the radio (ebi1 vs ebi0) its with the spl. It just requires the one click root to get around. You must have used haykuro's method to root which switches your radio to EBI0 making it compatible with any rom for the G1.

ahh makes sense, i used haykuro's method. thanks for the clarification.

hey i am using the binary something theme. When on the old Cyanogen rom it had the same theme but with the lockscreen, when updating to the latest CM rom i dont see the lock screen version anymore. (i am using CM updater)

Ok so I am now using the enoch theme, I like the blue accent and the transparent design to show more background. One thing that I miss is the lock screen, CM updater doesn't show any option for installing a enoch lockscreen. Is there any way to get a lockscreen? Also can I use any lockscreen even if it is not enoch? (Cm updater shows no lockscreens anyway)
Does the latest CM rom 12.2 not support any lockscreens yet? Or do I just need to add more sorces for themes in cm updater? If so could someone guide me into doing that.

could someone please answer as to can I use any lockscreen? and how can i get this done with cm updater?

help with metamorph

I rooted my droid eris about 2 weeks ago i've been messing around with differnt roms getting use to the whole rooting thing.I want to use metamorph i read alot of things im alittle confused write know my eris is running on evileris 2.0. Do i nned themes for that rom or can i use any alittle help would be great thanks

yes, you need morph themes for that specific rom. themes for other roms will more than likely cause you lots of force close issues or a bootloop.

cool thanks were is the best place to find themes for your roms im using evileris 2.0

Well, I'm not even sure if there are any MM themes out for hero roms. But if there was, I would try the Droid Eris section of xda, or maybe even try google as there are other forums out there dedicated to the Eris. Every theme and MM in this section are for stock vanilla ROMs. Good luck.

Modfication Suggestion?

Hello all,
I currently have N1 rooted, but curretly still using FRF91 STOCK ROM.
I am a little bit confused on how to modify my N1.
Actually I am planning to flash it with CyanogenMod when the Full Version is out and then instal Metamorphs.
But when I saw the metamoprphs, all are modification bit by bit, it's kinda tiring to find the cool combination of the theme.
any suggestion for the best ROM and the UI modification?
thx before

Do you want sense? It not I'd just go with cm6.

so CM 6 is the answer eh?
is the RC1 stable enough?

There are some quirks here a there but they are isolated problems I think. Its been stable for me so far without any problems.

Now I'm on CM 6 RC1
what next?
I would like to use themes or modify UI. SHould I use metamorph?

there are plenty of different themes, some require flashing from the recovery while others are easier and you can just do it through metamorph. go to the themes and app section and browse around for a theme you like

I've just installed LauncherPro. It brought a new touch to my phone
I'm going to try themes next

great, I've flashed a theme and I got a boot loop!

[Q] Which ROM?

I'm currently running Cyanogen but I was wondering if there was a good place to see what ROMs are available and what they offer. I've found a lot of info in these forms but it's kind of hard to figure out all the details. This site has a decent list but no details as to what components each ROM has.
Just looking at maybe switching my ROM to something more slimmed down yet still capable.

well, i cant really help you on finding a main source for roms, but i can suggest a rom for you. you might try aospROM 2.2.1. i havent had a chance to try it yet, but from what i understand, CM6 is basically a ROM with lots of cool and improving mods, whereas aospROM is straight, 100% android compiled from source for the Hero. you can find the gapps elsewhere just like you did for CM6. and that basically all i can really suggest to you. so, its definitely slimmed down and more than capable from what ive heard.

CyanogenMod ROMS are the best i have tried, they are one of the few ROMS that actually work. try CM6

CM6 is cyanogen right? Or is it a different rom put out by cyanogen?

CM6 is Cyanogen, best rom IMHO, especially with an Impaled theme along with it

FWIW, CyanogenMOD IS AOSP, with modifications. The framework of CyanogenMOD is slightly different than AOSP, to support the new modifications to it. The performance of CyanogenMOD is almost exactly the same as AOSP, but has the potential to be better if certain settings are enabled. If you want the most customizable and fastest ROM, CyanogenMOD would be your best bet.

[Q] Theme versions compatibility?

Noob question here, or major brain fart...
I just installed a kitchen rom. and all things work pretty good. I want to install a theme on my SGS.
But i'm a bit confused as to what all the versions that themes are compatible on mean.
The base rom version i got was the ZSJPJ one. (I also have ZSJPK but i screwed up some apps so i went back to JPJ) i can always cook up another JPK one.
When i browse themes, i can't seem to find one that says it's made for JPJ. They all are made for different versions, and i'm coming to think i'm just missing something... For example a theme will say made for JPU/X/Y. Will that work with mine? Should i be trying the JVx ones? or the JSx ones?
Any insight would be appreciated...

JPx and JSx work fine.
JVx are fror Gingerbread (not the same framework).

okok, thanks. I was making sure... cause i dled one of the JPx ones and it caused some FC's when i booted up. Maybe it was just that theme.

Make a Wipe Dalvik cache after installing your new theme.
