Hello,
First post and allready asking stuff.
I'm starting on making themes and although I have read a lot of stuff I can't get it.
Major questions:
- Do I need to have a custom rom to make themes? Can I install a theme on a standard, factory clean android magic?
- What are those RC33, Rc30, etc... And how do I know what do I have?
At the moment I have a stock HTC magic 32A. The only non standard thing in it, is it's rooted.
The build number only says: CL#33743 (no RC stuff...).
Any help would be appreciate.
take a look at this thread...

Hey smurf... thnks for the answer.
I've allready readed that post (and most of the links in it), and still got the same questions.
They only talk about G1/dream and all those RCXX... The problem my magic says CL#33743. Am I missing something here? Do I need to install a RCXX image?

afaik you have to be rooted to install themes, an exception is when you are using a home replacement.
RC stands for Release Candidate and its just a version numbering thing i guess...
Hello again...
Yeah, I tried instead of just asking.
After a few more reading I realise I was making some confusion. I have a rooted phone so I just adb pull the files I needed to theme (framework-res, htclauncher, etc...) changed the drwable files and adb push them again
It's kinda of what a update.zip does but with more files. Nothing better that trying
Now I just don't know why some people ressign apk's, but I guess a little more reading will fix that too.
Thnaks for your help smurf.
http://www.androidcentral.com/dell-streak-7-honeycomb-update-has-arrived-some
So is this upgradable only from froyo, or can it be used to update from the Honeystreak? Haven't looked at all the details yet, as I'm still at work.
Thanks if you find anything out gang.
Update:
Moved thread from Dev to General
That makes no sense that it's only upgradeable from GB seeing as gb for s7 never existed
Proof or its not happening.
Iv got s7 wifi from uk but still says no update
What im worryed about its that my service tag has changed to the usa version
My s7 wifi says no update still
wonder if stage ui makes it over to honeycomb
It should, the s10 has stageui 1.7 and it's highly likely the s7 will too.
I did a write up here if anyone is interested in knowing the difference between the various stageui versions.
cool so stageui 1.7, you can use stage widgetswith any launcher?
You're all over this stuff TheManii..
on any HC device yes, it's not available yet though as no dump is available yet
it wont work on anything before 3.0
how would I even update this if and when it does come out?
I wonder how long it will take a mod to come and move this to general where it belongs When I first saw the thread title "Honeycomb official update" and it was in development I got excited thinking I'd find a link to a system dump or something.. But it was not related to development at all.. bummer. OP should get stoned to death for getting people excited.. hehehe
Instead of throwing rocks you can throw your s7's at him, dont mind me if i catch one and take it to dev on

Thanks for the link! However, when you go to install it, it says that it's a model mismatch in Android recovery.
any ideas?
I'll start preparing it, i KNEW that it was due to another unknown rom version.
The device version is different too, it's GLUNB1A2, vs GLUNB1A1 for normal wifi/3-4g devices and rom version 340.
Is that from your S7 Xi2Wicked?
If it is could you make a nandroid/nvflash dump before updating? as 340 for this device revision (and in general) hasnt been dumped

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.
ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.
Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense
lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.
Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.
Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.
I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

Yes, they could use some tweaking.

Yeah I think they need updating. From what I can work out the root for the HTC IS is not temp but the guide says it is?

Well I think the HTC incredible S was a temp root but from what I can work out and what you have and others have said it is not. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to tonight.
Hi guys, I know you have tons of rules here and I tried my best to respect all of then by searching for a thread containing info on what in looking for but I couldn't find one. I rooted my phone a couple of years back and have been flashing various ROMs since. About a week ago however I flashed an unofficial android 4.3 ROM by CyanogenMod and after that once I discovered how buggy it was (as per the developer's warning) I decided to flash something else. However I couldn't access my recovery menu no matter what I tried and it looks like I've list root but I can't be sure of that. Ask the root apps aren't working and I got a toast from one of them saying you need root access to use this. Right now what I want is a way to either reroot or maybe there's a simpler way of solving this problem. If I could access the recover mode menu I could use the conventional way of rooting but right now I can't even di that. I'd really appreciate a solution if any of you could take the time out to give me one. Thanks so much and I really hope to hear from you.
I assume you flashed Chas' rom. If you could just read the op.... Chas gave everyone a soultion on a silver plate..
er.sorry

To be really honest I'm not sure whether it was his ROM or not since I got it from a YouTube instructional video. There was a direct download link. Do you think you could please do me a favor and point me in the right direction to the solution? Losing my mind here since it's so buggy

Go to Chas' Asylum thread in Android development, and use the search option. He gave the solution on 8th of August.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
At me it worked.
And saw it posted in a 4.3 thread/post
You have to disable and re enable it in developers option in settings.
And then try root privilege using apps to check if it worked like type su in terminal

Hi All,
In my quest to try find a pure clean Gingerbread rom for the N7000 for old times, and nostalgic memories (from other devices).
After hearing there was no source, and it never happened... I've just noticed this post from another website, that claims it did... right up to Android 2.3.7 (the last of the Gingerbread) as all the bloated roms I see on GB are based on 2.36.
It appears the rom came from our very own, this site.... XDA. http://www.landofdroid.com/2011/samsung-galaxy-note-gets-unofficial-cm7-treatment/
Does anyone know anything about it, where I can find it...?? If you have it, can you please upload it.... And why is it so elusive?? As I thought GB was safe from the eMMC, and that it was only stock or leaked ICS kernels that were unsafe??
Thanks, Lister
Hi All,
Anyone know anything about this rom? Apparently it originated and was born from XDA forums...
If anyone has this file, would be very very interested, thank you... Lister
Same here but it seems it has disappeared...
well if someone have a backup please upload it, this is a legendary rom
Hi All,
Ok guys, a bit more research on the CM7 rom that was built for the Note (N7000) via someone here on the XDA forums....
I have since found these websites, giving more info about it...
http://mobiputing.com/2011/11/unofficial-cyanogenmod-7-build-for-the-samsung-galaxy-note/
and,
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ml+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a
And the file we are all seeking is called.... update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyNote-kang-signed.zip
If anyone has the above file, please could they let us know... I can't believe this rom, its thread, and the many users who may of flashed it back then, have all disappeared...???
Or was this the reason behind the eMMC BrickBug? (even though GB was supposedly safe?)
Thanks guys, hopefully we can find it...
Cheers, Lister
best way is to PM the rom creator netchip for the file.
could you do that i am too interested!
Hi ASMI1,
Aye, that would be good... but looks like it might be "easier said, than done" as it would appear NetChip has been banned from this community...
So not sure how else we can find out any more about this rom, I would of thought someone who had this phone in the earlier days might of had a backup of this rom... we just gotta hope someone who has, read this post....
Thanks, Lister

yeah that's our only hope for now
even google show no trace for this rom
Hi ASMI1,
Trust me, I've totally exhausted the Google searches.... Tried every kind of possible variant to try and find it....
N7000, i9220, i-717, Galaxy Note....
Thats how I got and found as much as I have so far... I just can't believe who ever uploaded it, only loaded it ONE SOURCE ever.... As that source is now dead, the link just takes you to spam / malware post...
Can't believe the thousand's who have this phone, neither remember it, backed it up, or are showing no interest in recovering it....
Sure, its a dated firmware, and with Lollipop just round the corner... But surely, everyone wants to step back in time once in a while, for old times sake... CM7 was a fine rom, even has powerful stuff in it, thats missing from all future builds...
Hopefully someone might come to our aide soon...
Cheers, Lister

Whats up with GB? Didnt the phone come with stock install
Hi @drulo222,
Yes, it did... But it only got as far as GB (Android 2.3.5 or 2.3.6) and was some 600 - 900Mb download, full of bloatware, lacked features other than TW stuff... and was badly optimized....
At least with the usual CM stuff, CM7 was only around 100Mb rom for this device, was running the latest and last GB build (Android 2.3.7) and so it would be nice just to see a polished version on our Device.... Esp for all those who grew up with CM7 on other devices (ie: my original ZTE Blade). It would appear at least a build was made for this device, but was only ever uploaded to one filehost, which now gives you MALWARE when visited... And all the users of N7000 appear to have never seen it...?????
Cheers, Lister

I thought cm is open source project; each one being incremented. I'm not sure if any cm would 100% percent be build for any particular version, yet this type of phone? Take the builds and see that there is always a newer one... but sure, that doesn't guaranty compatibility. I am saying cm7 probably isnt as expected from people... especially on more sophisticated phones. Anyway. id install one for test purposes.
Hi All,
Whilst still on the ever (elusive) hunt for CM7 for our Note/N7000.... I've uncovered more evidence that it did at one time exist...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/m1ai2/cm7_makes_it_to_galaxy_note/
So please, please, can you cheack your HDDs, or ya SD Cards, those who may of played around with it in the past (before I got my phone) and if ya have a copy of it, please re-upload it...
Many thanks, Lister
The more I see on this, the more I am starting to think this is bullsh*t.... and that no one here ever did manage to get CM7 working on the trusty Note!!!
Lack of posts, refences leads me to think we have more chances of finding Elvis alive than this elusive CM7 rom???
http://www.landofdroid.com/2011/samsung-galaxy-note-gets-unofficial-cm7-treatment/
Hi All,
Finally, I have found the thread where CM7 once existed for our Note. Even if NO ONE is aware it ever existed....
It appears it was almost complete, but then got pulled because it did not boot.... / Much like the build of CM7 on the i9100... that never booted on it's own, yet got published all over the place, inc the official CyanogenMod website back in the day... I managed to get the CM7 for i9100 with a custom Gingerbread kernel.
I feel that's all that's needed for the Note/N7000....
If anyone has this ROM, I don't care how complete/dangerous they think it is... 99% of failed flashes are fixed by official firmware and Odin. Grew up on CM7 with my first Smartphone, would be cool to see it on the Note.
I know we have CM14.1 these days, which is even more awesome that the old Note is still living strong even today... But would also be cool to see the old times too on it... lol
/ someone must have the rom? lol
Cheers, Lister
