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?

Couple questions...

Is it worth it to wait for 2.1 for my CDMA Hero or should I just flash a custom rom?
If so what is the best ROM for the Hero thats out right now?
And if I do flash a custom rom can I then upgrade to 2.1 when it is officially released?

There is no reason to wait for Sprint to release 2.1. Go ahead and flash a 2.1 custom ROM, as for what ROM... I can't suggest a good one they are all pretty great. I suppose to start you off I would suggest flashing the latest Damageless or a Fresh ROM, a lot of ROMs are based of their work.
Once Sprint releases the official 2.1 don't upgrade. There is a possibility you may lose your root access, besides that someone will have a optimized version readily available soon after release.

Alright, will do.
For some reason I was forgetting they would optimize sprint's 2.1 for Hero after it came out.
Now to pick...

1 more question... I'm pretty sure the answer to this is yes and I know its a stupid question but...
I'll still be able to use my phone as a phone right? Wiping the data before I load a rom won't wipe the phone number linked to my account right?

Of course!
As long as you sign into Google at the startup, all your contacts should sync. You will still have your own number. Your own number is linked to your Sprint account anyway.

Yes.. you did something very wrong. You didn't search.

Just wait for the Sense UI 2.2 ROM if you want both Froyo and Sense.
Desire ROM 2.2 has been leaked and is fully working I assume, as the devs working on it say it might be out by tonight. Hopefully the Nexus will get a full port by tomorrow... No promises though

Lol tomorrow would such a nice time, but I assume its a tad bit too early. It would be really awesome though..

i mean i want use stock google froyo rom and the apps from sense ui
is this possible?

Nope. Only the game Teeter.

Is there a version of the teeter.apk that will install to SD if we are non-rooted?

[Q] What ROM do I have?

I bought a slightly used Nexus One, the guy said it's rooted, well I am new to Android, just trashed my iPhone.
Anyways my OS seems slow at times, I have Froyo on it FRF91, but I think that it's a rather instable custom ROM how do I know if it's the original Google ROM?
I rather have the original Google ROM also because I like my phone to be able to get OTA updates.
If this is a Custom ROM, how do I get the OEM ROM back on my Nexus One?
Thank you all

If you go to About Phone in the settings menu it will normally have an abnormal name in the Kernel Version. What does yours say?

Even better, download and install any one of many screenshot apps. Take a screenshot of your About screen, and post it here?!
DroCap2 is my fave.

Tried drocap2 it didn't safe the screenshots where it said it did my kernel is:

You have an old version of Enomther's TheOfficial ROM (which is an excellent ROM, I happen to use it).
Flash its latest version (thread in Development section), and if the launcher (desktop) speed is what's bothering you - install LauncherPro. This ROM is probably one of the most stable custom ROMs out there, if not the most stable of them.

I love Enomther's roms and would highly recommend you to upgrade to the newest version.

Glad to hear it's a good ROM it's not often but sometimes when closing an app it takes about 30 seconds till i can do anything else.
How do I upgrade to the newest ROM? I went to the webiste of Enomther and it says something about Radio update also I like the stock theme will that stay on my phone?

1) It's definitely not a ROM problem. When installing his new ROM, wipe EVERYTHING - data and cache, and install apps one by one until you find the offender.
2) Flash his non-themed version and you'll get a stock look.
3) Check your baseband version in the same place you've checked kernel. If it says *U_4.06* or *U_5.08* then you don't need to flash the radio, if not - go to Nexus Wiki / Radios and look there.

Thanks a lot I will try it today.

Just did the update also installed the HTC 720p camera update.
Now it says:
Baseband version: 5.08.00.04
Kernel Version: [email protected] #1
Build number: FRF91
is that the right thing?
Thank you so much for all the hints.

Yes, you have the latest. See if the newer radio works well for you, and if it doesn't - try flashing the 4.06 version.

[Q] aosp 2.1? i havent found it...

I was looking for an aosp 2.1 for my cdma hero. cant seem to find it... just a straight up vanilla, white taskbar, vanilla lockscreen, vanilla messages app, etc, etc.
anyone got anything for me? thank you thank you

Search for darchdroid in dev forum

thanks. his 2.8 doesnt seem to be for me though. im not looking for modifications by the community and what not, just want to try a straight google 2.1 for a bit. if it doesnt exist, then excuse my naivety.
really all i want is a stock rom, like nfinite's, with vanilla lock and vanilla taskbar. yeah i got the 3G icon and the vanilla four bars setup but i want that vanilla taskbar. i tried nfinites deodex version and attempted to put the vanilla taskbar on it with the vanilla lock but it wouldnt work.
thank you thank you.

Try browsing the Themes and Apps section -- there are several AOSP-looking themes and mods in there.
The one down in my signature (Leukay's Oreo Theme) adds the AOSP taskbar and a couple other menu changes to a stock Sense ROM. I know it works in nfinitefx45's ROM cuz I'm using it right now. Give it a shot.
And if you search in the nfinitefx45 Stock ROM thread, there are many posts about some people being able to get the vanilla lockscreen working on it too.

thanks. ive just made a nand b/u so ill give this a shot even though im on the odex version

Anything you get here is going to be modified by someone. Your phone was shipped with a black taskbar, Sense UI, and Sense only apps. In order to modify the look of it, it will have to be modified. If you want the stock android apps you can find those and then push them to your phone.
Darch's 2.8 is vanilla android, which is what I thought you wanted.
Hell, forget 2.1, go download and flash CM6. Much better than 2.1.
