Noob w/my g1 - help w/skins pls.

Hi, I just recently discovered that I can have themes/skins for the g1.
I've spent almost 4 hours trying to research/read how to change my g1 skin
and I have gotten nowhere. Someone please be kind enough to tell me
how I can join the rest of you.
- biggest G1 noob in toronto for easter.

the easiest way is to download a home alternative and download the themes that are compatible with whichever one you choose, or root the phone and then install themes that way.

Where do I find this home alternative and how do I root? Guess I wll have to go and research on the site. Thanks!

in the android marketplace. do a search for open home, ahome, or dxtop. i think they all have lite versions so you can try it out without paying and then they have the paid versions. i personally like open home the best but it all comes down to personal opinion. before you root make sure you read through it and understand what steps you have to do. heres the link to root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480

with the post above that gives the walk through there is another way to root your phone, search for app that roots your phone and try it out. if you have any questions about either process i can help send either pm or a message here and i'll answer asap. but please read through the entire walkthrough or app thread pending which you decide to do before asking questions

[Q] Samsung Task Manager from GB

Greetings to everyone. I haven't spent much time here lately but last month I've got myself a I9000, so I will keep it short.
Is there a possibility to find .apk for the new Samsung Task Manager version 1.6, and will it work on the froyo firmware XWJPA.
Thanks in advance for any answeres.
P.S. I've searched the forums but couldn't find the answer.

No idea if it will work on JPA but I just took the app and widget from my JVB so try it if you want, if it works post so others will know ok.
Feel free to hit the thanks button

Thanked
Downloading app. It seems that I need to deodex my rom to try this. Doing it now. Someone should try this also.
EDIT: Tried all but failed with the message: Problem parsing file.
Any solutions perhaps?

Don't think you needed to deodex as it came from official stock JVB ROM, did you just install it like a regular apk?
Use Root Explorer and go to /system/app/ mount it as R/W and move (not copy) the apk's there.
Let me know if that sorts the problem, it's how I've got apps from SGS 2 to run on mine.

Ha! This is just not going to work. Tried simple copying/moving to system/app/ and no luck. If anyone finds a way he can post it here.
Thanks for your help DMD9. A greatly appreciate it.

What did you move them with? If you just used the built in file manager then it won't work, you need to use Root Explorer with the folder mounted as R/W.
Happy to help, but would be happier if you actually get it working

Yes, I used root explorer and mounted the file system. I know that much There is no chance. If you have some other idea I am willing to try it, if not, I'll wait for the official app if it comes out.

[Q] How to access MMilestone after rooting

Hey there,
Read several of the threads here and didnt find what I was lookin for so Ill post a new thread...
I have the Motorola Milestone 2.2.1 that I just rooted with SuperOneClick...worked great. However, I must be a little retarded as I cannot access any of the root files through any method I have tried. It simply pushes me to the memory card (8Gb) that I have installed.
Anyone have any tips or programs you can use or a methology for getting to the root drive, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
The Toe

Root explorer is the best, but its a paid app.

[Q] Rooted...now what apps are safe to delete?

Hey guys! First of all, thanks to Geohot for this amazing and simple root method for the S5. I, as many of you, have been anxiously awaiting as I was getting fed up with all of the garbage AT&T loaded onto this phone. Secondly, I know there is another thread, but it made sense to me to have a new one for those who have achieved root.
Now that I'm rooted and have SuperSU installed and all is well, I'm looking in system/app via ES File Explorer. There are tons of things in here that I haven't even seen. What are safe to remove? Ex. Knox & associated files, and SecurityManagerService? I'm hoping that's the one that will finally get rid of that awful Security Policies notification. Anyone venture into this so far?
Thanks everyone!! :victory::good:

Thank you! (Thanks given). When you say freeze, are you referring to the Titanium Backup method?

I did search...I don't know how that one got away from me. Still new to the forums, go easy on me

[GUIDE].. NOOB FRIENDLY..flashing boot Animation....

Hi U Hey guys so I was thinking that many people aka noobs don't even know how to change the Boot animation....... So we'll I can understand their feeling that there is such a really low amount of guides for this topic....... I was a noob like them once and have many things to help them.......
STEP 1:
Well first u would need a custom boot Animation of ur choice and with the same width and height for your device..... If u want one check this XDA page
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...XmVXj6EAP_zGR96tA&sig2=XEvJfMYaWTWv8fO8SCZTCg
STEP 2
Then u would need root browser apk which is available in the play store.....
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...EVfQGdejmbcfqwXfw&sig2=nn0P-rn2hT78Z4OvlC3KmA
STEP 3
Move the Boot animation zip file to system/media and place it der..(in root browser of course) and then hold ur finger der
STEP 4:
Scroll and select permission
STEP 5:
Do what is present on the first pic
Then reboot ur phone and see the magic happen... Isn't it easy well it can be made easier!!!!!!!
ANOTHER METHOD:
Download an app which is available in the play store called boot Animation which installs the Boot animation automatically....... Well here u go..... So more pics will help u so I will post them and guys this was my first guide will be taking out another one on how to make a boot Animation so pls help me if I have gone wrong..........
Pics for boot Animation app (2 and third pic)

I ain't a professional so pls guide me if I am wrong in this guide or stuff
I
.... I won't be responsible for bricked phones or dead SD cards or thermonuclear war
Just post ur questions below.........

Thanks for wanting to contribute, but there some issues with your guide. here are some tips
1. Make it instruction like. use steps (1,2,3..)
2. Give at least a link to the app if you are suggesting it
3. Maybe you could try getting the links from the images and show them below the steps, having to click attachments is not really handy
4. Don't use "dem" or "der" please. we no talk liek dis u no
If you want to know more about this subject, find this out for your own sake of curiousity
- How to preview a bootanimation that you just pushed without rebooting phone
- How to push it with adb

With Nexus 7 devices and possibly other devices, there is no need to put the bootanimation.zip into /system/media, you can just place it into /data/local, it will override the one in /system/media, it is the proper way to do it, no need to mount system r/w, etc.

K using root browser right cause how will u set the permission then?????
