If this has been asked more than once, I apologize!
I got this phone couple days ago and I stumbled upon this forum to notice many different themes. I was wondering how you change it from the original Captivate theme to the themes the makers made here. Thanks
Are you rooted? Do you have a certain rom? Because you cant get a theme from developers until your rooted and have a Rom that the theme is for?

I am rooted (I think since I searched it up and did what the person told me) as for ROM, I'm not quite sure if I do.

Here's an easy way to see if your rooted, go into your apps and see if you have an app called superuser. If you do, then you are rooted but if not then you are not. As for the rom I'm not sure as to what rom you have I'm not sure.

Read this guide over, it will explain how to install a custom rom, which is basically ( in very simplified terms) just a new very advanced theme that replaces the old stock one that comes with the phone. That link can tell you everything you need to know. Just be REALLY careful! the first time I tried to install a new rom my phone got messed up and i couldn't use it for three days. But anyways, have fun and welcome to the site!

I suggest Phoenix as your ROM. Its very simple to use and has good speed and good battery life. It's the first rom I had .
Here's the link http://www.phoenix-hq.com/ to the site with the downloads from everything from the Rom to Themes for the Rom to wallpapers.
If you need anything else feel free to PM me.

Thats cause we know its you. your rom is missing some parts huh? you should at least tell people that it must be flashed over sense and warn them to make a nandroid first.

XDA has to do what the law says. If they are getting legal threats, of course they are going to delete it. Would you rather lose one thread or the whole site?

Is there a new compatibility list for the new hermes payloads? Or is there a newer backup manager than v2?
There are a few versions, that require Hermes v3 like open manager v1.16, flex manager, and a few others. U can Google 'em or goto one of the ps3 sites like ps3hax.net, ps3-hacks.com, psx-scene.com
Hey all, I've been flashing Roms for ages but I'd love to start making Roms. I've been watching tutorials. but none have been of much use to me. I can use command prompt etc, and i have done a bit of programming. So, could you guys link me to some useful tutorials or even teach me yourself? Thanks guys!
BTW, my ultimate aim would be a fully functioning ICS Rom!

But just about an hour ago, i took IceColdSandwich, and I am going to see if i can do any good with it

After I rooted the phone I deleted some blotware. Now I am having problems with the phone freezing. Is there a way to recover the delete apps?
You can always restore your backup. Unless you didn't create a backup before you went and deleted everything. That's a noob thing not to do.
Your best bet is to follow the "return to stock" tutorial. It's in the sticky threads.
Or wait for the next update to roll out.

Hello folks...
well.... i'm having a weird situation here....
i want to try the cyanogemmod to see how it is... So.... i went from the factory rom to stock rom downloaded from here (( ok )), then I installed this one (( ok ))... then I flashed this one (( sort of ok ))....
then, this latest CM version came with so many issues and bugs (( freezes and gives me an error from everything all the time)) then I decided (( in less of 24 hours of use)) to flash another ROM.... so my journey begins...
I decided to flash the Miui to try it, then I got stuck on AROMA installer....
""starting aroma installer version 2.70RC2

Later i tried to flash other ROMs and all of them i'm getting the same error.... the latest one i tried to flash was KitSlim_AMG and no sucess at ll
but, with this one the error was
""starting aroma installer version 2.70B6
( c ) 2013 by amarullz xda-developers""

Now.... i just realize i CAN'T flash any other ROM.... what can I do ??? is there any other way?? what can i do??
Thanks!
well...
tried Emma and SUS, and none of them help me because the CM is installed..... any help guys??
Thanks!
Simply.
If something went wrong restore your backup (which you didn't make I think) and as last option download stock Rom and flash it with flashtool.
There is plenty of tutorial how to do it on YouTube.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
If someone got stuck on this same situation.... i solved this with a simple solution..... follow these simple steps
- regardless your phone.... download a stock rom with any kind of modifications at all... try to download right from your manufacturer a clean one...
- flash it, following the steps as recommended BY YOUR manufacturer...
- after the flashing... turn on your device and use it a little bit....
- turn it off and flash the rom you want as recommended by the dev...
that's it!!! enjoy again your phone! =)
cheers =)
