Hey guys,
I've already tried twice to install a theme on my I9000, but it doesn't seem to work. after installing it using recovery the phone won't load (it just got stuck in the I9000 screen). The only way out was to reinstall the rom (Darky's v8.0 slim).
Does any of you has any idea what did I do wrong?
Here's the post of the theme I tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898892
Hve you tried to clear dalvik cache in cwm and flash the theme again? Works for me.

How did you try to install it? I've used Darky's ROMs since v6 and have always flashed themes over it without any problems.
heya guys,
first of all im really new to all this stuff
ive just installed 2.2 froyo.
and now i would like to install NeonGT on it.
I am rooted.
so i downloaded the NeonGT zip file.
renamed it to Update.zip
so i went to recorvery mode (lower vulume + power + menu buttens)
and click on the 'apply sdcard:update.zip'
but it say'd this
'E:error in /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
(status 2)
installation aborted'
so i dit some more looking on the web
and it say'd i had to download ROM Manager and so i did.
went to 'reboot into recovery' but it didn't reboot, it didn't do a think.
so i went to 'Install rom from sd card' also dat didn't worked
can anyone help me?
First off, you need to be on a custom ROM because it's deodexed and therefore can accept a theme. You need to be on a custom kernel with clockwork mod in order to flash the zip file that the theme comes in. Finally, you need to make sure that the theme that you are flashing is compatible with the ROM you're using.
Step one; pick a custom ROM and download CWM version and stick it in the root directory of your SD card. Do the same with the theme.
Step two; flash a custom kernel with clockwork mod through Odin.
Step three; enter recovery, clear cache, Dalvik cache, factory reset/wipe and then flash the custom ROM. You're rooted so I'll assume you have titanium backup, if not you should have gotten it and I'm hoping you read these instructions before acting on them....
Step four; flash the theme through recovery mode with clockwork mod. Use "choose zip from SD card", not update.zip
Step five; run the restore on titanium backup, wait for a little while(paid version) or sit there and press install... done for all of your apps.
Step six; enjoy.

heya Exinferios
thnx for youre reply.
well i have Gingerbread 2.3 the leaked version on my Galaxy s i9000
im very noobish so i dont know what files i have to use.
cause i installed Gingerbread while following a movie on youtube >-<
if you can say what things i need to download to get this working
it would give me a happy day lol
Confirmed working with Spike's 5.1 JPY, Darky's V7.7/8.0 JPY, Insanity 0.3.1 JPY and Doc's V8.0/1 JPY.
New confirmed working with new JS3 roms, like Doc's 9.1/Darky's 9.2 as well as other custom JPX/U/Y and JS3 roms.
so what should i download ?
Hello all.
*I have conducted searches and couldn't find much on the subjects, or have found irrelevant information.*
I'm relatively new the modding the SGSi9000 and have just as of recently upgraded to the leaked 2.3.3 and installed Darky's ROM v10 RC4 with CWM3.
I have been trying to install themes for my phone by downloading the themes .zip and putting the phone into recovery mode and installing the said .zip, however the phone ALWAYS goes into a bootloop and won't get out of it unless I reinstall Darky's ROM v10 RC4.
- Is there a way I can make a backup of Darky's Rom and just reinstall that using CWM so I don't have to reinstall everything from scratch using ODIN? If this is possible, will it get me out of the bootloop caused by the failed installation of a theme? It's a fairly tedious process.
- If not, is there a way to get out of the bootloop after the failed installation of a theme and revert back to the way just before I tried to install a theme?
I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong (I must be) and if there was an up-to-date guide on how to install themes correctly? The themes I'm talking about are the ones as follows:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022956
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042516
- I was also wondering as how to how I could change the animated Samsung Galaxy S logo and the sound it makes just after boot. I've read that you can't change the writing of the static Samsung Galaxy S so that doesn't bother me. If there was an up-to-date guide on this I'd also be happy.
Fware: 2.3.3
Baseband: i9000XXJVK
Build: Darky's v10.0 RC4.
If you need anymore information then please do ask. Thanks in advance.
- Gee
As its Darkys rom ask Darky ask in his forums read his posts re themes for his roms .
You want an easy method of themes and boot animation visit Rom Kitchen not the dark kitchen .

I honestly don't think I know anywhere near enough to customise my own ROM... I already have a boot animation from some themes thread that I'd like to use, was just wondering how to get that on there instead of the animated SGS logo.
Also, have you got an answer to my question in relation to the bootloop and making a backup?
Thanks.
If you made a backup from recovery before flashing the theme, then hold the power button down during the bootloop until the phone switches off. As soon as the screen goes dark, hold the three buttons as normal to go into recovery. If you can't turn the power off with the button, then pull the battery, replace it and go into recovery mode as normal.
From recovery, just restore your backup as normal.

Is RomKitchen for 2.2 or 2.3?
Just a quick question here.
When I flash some i9000 themes, I notice that in CWM it reports it as all fine and dandy, no errors, the dialogue telling me that I am good to reboot. The problem is when I reboot, nothing has changed, I will have the same theme that I had before I flashed. I have tried a revert theme for my ROM, then flashing a theme again and result in the same thing.
Would it be safe to assume that the theme zips are cwm2 and when I flash them in cwm3, it shows the correct dialogue, but doesn't actually flash them?

ATTENTION: This is exactly the same way to flash any other custom samsung rom.
You can't flash with this procedure roms like CM7 MIUI AND ALL OTHERS ROMS BASED ON CM7.
In first procedure in recovery (vol up + power + home), DON'T do a factory reset !
First, with repartition in Odin everything should be clean and second a factory reset seems to remove "sim toolkit" app and at next boot you'll be stuck at "Unlocking sim card" step.
Please, edit this tutorial or add "sim toolkit" app in the rom.

I am using a Galnet Twooey III (2.3.5) with Gingerbread bootloaders.
Do I need to go back to Froyo bootloaders?
Or the only thing to do is just to flash the CGR v79 using CWM?

Hi,
currently I am using v77 with darkcore 2.9 that matches jvq.
what is the procedure that I need to follow to install v79?
install v79 from cwm-> replace kernel to darkcore 3.1?
or install stock jvr->replace core to darkcore 3.1-> install v79 from cwm-> replace core?
or any other solution?
thanks a lot!

FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final - how to install
Hello
I have an samsung galaxy i9000 with
Gingerbread 2.3.3: JV9 - JVO - JV7
I downloaded the file
FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final: CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v77_I9000-I9000T-I9000M.zip
Lets try it...
After installation
This is a GREAT ROM.
I am really happy with it.
Very awesome.
Everything works fine!
And my i9000 has bekomme even faster, so I can underclock for saving battery.
Keep up the good work.
Finally after all joy of this mod I have some suggestions.
I am using the version v77.
When trying to apply the battery mods or the blue theme, the phone loops while talking to the SIM card. Only way out, to restore my backup.
There might be the possibility, that I did not read enough about the battery mods, however, my knowledge of spain is zero.
Another question. I like the gel type style of buttons, as shown in gingercriskelos adress tab. I themed a lot for nokia. Would it not be nice to use this kind of tabs (buttons with gel effect) for the selected tab at any modus?
dark side of dark core
I am happy with v77. My prob. unfortunately i used a ext4 and forgot to reset!
When I saw v79 I tried it.
Install ZIP from SD Card.
I did not consider, that another kernel was included: Darkcore.
I end up with the astronaut.
All my cwm backups became unusable.
So I went for a clean gingerbread install and put v77 on top again. So I lose my product code.
Why didnt you stay with the old architecture, so that users can follow upgrades easily with cwm zip without wipe.
best regards
jodahush
not much movement in this thread anymore. People moves to v79
Just want to mention, that I can install battery and theme mod now.
My problem was the ext4 lagfix i used before.
I am interested to know, how those mods works with darckcore, since this thig is allways lagfixed. (v79)
Criskelo seems to move to Galaxy S2. I hope somebody continue his great ROM
I installed as per guide but I don't have google maps and don't know how to Install it?!!
tia
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
When flashing to JVQ, all went well and i got pass & reset on odin, but then on my phone, i got failed to format & got stuck on the samsung logo screen.. please heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
