[Q] Amateur here. had my phone rooted. - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. So i paid this friend of mine to root my hero as i was to scared of the consequences and he roots all sorts of things for 5 dollars. i have to say it was worth it. anyways he 'rooted' it and nows he on vacation so i cannot ask him what he did to it. i wish to learn how i can put all those awesome themes and such on my phone. could someone help me out?

i assume you all want a screenie of what is on my phone. anyone want to rec me an app where i could take the screenie?

Best advice would be to read then read some more and keep on reading. That's the best way to learn.

Droidcap is a market app. And I think its free. Pull up your market and search for it. Its an app that allows you to capture a screen shot of your phone to post were ever you like. So for example user's on here can see what your setup is.

Theme for the ladies (attached)

Ok I finally got everything to flash for on my wifes phone as an update.zip and it seems to be working great.
The only rom I have tested it on is Eris Lightning Bolt 2.7 so I am unsure if it will work on any other roms.
I attached what i have done so far below if anyone else wants to try it out.
I'll admit myself that the look is very rough around the edges as i have just learned how to do this. Any help would be very much appreciated as i try to learn more about making solid themes. If you want to change the clock and date colors in the notification bar you can do so in spare parts, general.
Thanks to Conap for his wonderful rom and also for giving me guidance and pushing me in the right direction.
Install by downloading the attachment, placing on sdcard, and selecting themeforladies.zip from recovery.
I am not responsible, directly or indirectly, to anything that may happen to your phone as a result of you flashing this.
i would like to see your work.

This is my first time theme so while i can verify it works, I can only verify that it will work on Eris Lightning Bolt(Cyan). Have some issues with transparency on some of the images because i'm still learning what to do. Thought some additional opinions and suggestions might help me improve.
yea i will definitely check this out.

[ROM] CM6 RC3 w/ Goodies

I just started making ROMs today and I'm going to start with just modifying a ROM.
Couldn't get the Golden Elegance theme to work with anything. So it's has ADW Launcher and everything else.
Goodies added:
Hulu
Flashplayer
Wireless Tether
A Skinned "Droid Does" Swype Keyboard
Option Of ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro
I'll work on different colored themes in the near future.
Download here ---> MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED FOR CONTAINING WAREZ

What did you do to get Hulu working?
is 8GB internal storage present and is BT audio fixed? Those are keeping me away from CM6 for now...
I included the hulu.apk and the hulu flash player I got from skyraider

thx for the response and no worries, was just curious. don't pay attention to the negative comment(s).
Yo hot taco, overall pretty nice. The only thing i would suggest is to theme over all the cyan (blue) parts to make them look like vanilla (even though thats my area of expertise).
Good luck with future roms.

I agree 110%.. I've thought about trying to learn how to cook up some ROMs but if this is how i would get treated, forget it. So what if its not a "ROM". Everyone has to start somewhere. He's learning. He's obviously smarter than you at age 13 and you obviously have a problem with it. Grow up before you decided to post such nonsense.
EDIT: just to clarify, this was directed at rulevoid, not mtag. i was just agreeing with mtag, which is the reason for the quote.
Imma get the mods over here ok?? Flaming makes me MAD!
Wow. Cut the kid some slack. It's these kind of replies that are the reason some of the best rom cookers out there won't post on this forum).

wtf rulevoid, he's just a kid trying to contribute. You obviously don't have kids. And if you ever talked to my kids like that for trying to be part of a community I'd slap the crap out of you.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
@OP glad ur taking interest and trying to learn to cook roms.
perhaps u should work on creating some original material and get some people to test/help u before u create a thread for a ROM...
That way nobody could complain and u could learn and put together a good ROM
Wow, sure he just used a basic kitchen to add things a lot of ppl add anyways. This isn't for me so I'm not gonna flash it, but I'm not gonna flame someone for doing this. A lot of people will find this useful. Just because its not for you doesn't mean its right to treat someone trying to contribute like this.
OP if u want some help with creating update.zip's pm me and I'll help you out.

Free TI-83 emulator app! Andy-83.

Hello, well today I was searching around the market and found this neat little app. It's called Andy-83 it's basically a TI-83 graphing calculator on your phone, and the best part it's free! I am not the developer or even working as an advertiser for this app. Just thought a lot of people would benefit from this app. Plus it saves you $140!
Sorry if I broke a rule posting this or if it has been posted already, delete this thread if it has.

I've done some testing for that dev (and some back in the winmo days.. ugh), and he's super cool-- has a site called supware.net (?). I'm pretty sure he's done a TI-85 and TI-86 emulator on the market as well.

I used this to replace the stock calculator a few weeks ago. It's so awesome to be able to pull out a complete graphing calculator out of your pocket. lol.
Ugh, makes me sad that I had to spend 150 bucks on my graphing calc for school when I can load this app on my phone for free. Been using this app for a while now and have loved it.

Yea, unfortunately he's had to discontinue the "Andy-XX" series while he works out some things with TI. Hopefully they'll be up again relatively soon. I don't know about the saving 150 bucks on an actual TI calc tho; every math teacher I've run across has made it very clear that phones weren't an option =(

Both of you: I asked around a lot last week and I was told to go to a Corporate store because they are the only ones who can get into that part of the database and edit it. Apparently it costs some money, idk how much.
Thanks for the replys so far, but I have done all of the above as in so far as to go to the corp store and dial 611 and 228 infront of them, and hello hello hello lol played and nope will not add the esn from the phone in person or at the dealers(any corp or private). The only guy I found here where I live wants 90 bucks to add the esn :{ any other ideas I have a eris running fully flashed and loaded but its not doing it for me any more. Ok thanks for any ideas.

Well I suggest that you keep looking on craigslist or something because that seems like your only option now... or just save up an buy the LG Esteem... $350 but well worth it... epic phone. Good luck man :/
Hi AtmosFEAR I could get one of the esteem but I just looked here real quick and I didn't even see a sub-forum for them :{ whats up with that ? I went into the corp store again tonight and I got someone who said if the phone is flashed they could do it so dial 611 and they here metro so he takes the phone and goes to scan the esn and nope. Not flashed by Houdini so no work. Now can I go and buy that program and flash them my self and will it just add the esn for me into metros database or ? Because I would like to flash the phones also for cheaper then the guy here and make money my self :}. Ok any insite thanks for help

Like he said just get the Esteem, it's worth it and xda will soon, along with other forums & developers have a CM7 Rom for it soon enough. It's also supposed to get Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) so it's a good bet, I'll be getting mine this weekend

Now also does the esteem have root and all yet or what can we do with the phone out of the box as far as modding to to make it mine :}

<spc_hicks09_> mt just put out a rom for them, Gingersteem. they have 2 kernels, one that can oc to 1700 then ours (their version) that can oc to 1500. someone else made the one that can oc to 1700

<Haro|Prime> OK thanks. Guy in the DROID forums is trying to get the DROID on metro and someone entwined the esteem. I told him I would get dev info since I guess they don't have a forum yet

Hope I helped
Thanks again and i will hop on the irc a little later night time soon here. and maybe i will sell the droid and the eris and get the esteem sooner but i would have to just flash the prl for verizon back and sell the eris to some one for what flashed to metro already and i can hook them up with mms and the net with it. i just dont know how much the 2 would be worth
