[Q] Newbie-Installing Themes

Newbie Question:
Curious about how to go about installing themes?
1)I looked but didn't see a beginners guide to installing themes---any help?
2) My phone is rooted and running superclean 2.9.x....
Am I limited to themes associated with this ROM?
thanks for all your help in advance

Since your running on eb01 you can flash any theme made to run on that build through cement just like u would install a Tom or kernel. Just install the zip and your good to go

I think his auto correct is a little haywire. What he meant was you can flash any theme made to run on that build through clockworkmod recovery (cwm) just like you would install a ROM or kernel. There should be a thread started with the funniest auto correct posts.

Please limit your questions to the Q and A forum, there are guidelines for a reason.

Like the "car ****" thread I support this thread idea.

When I use CW, it only shows my ROM files as options...not the theme zip file??

Did you move your theme file to the root of sd card?

You also posted this question over in the General area two minutes before this post. I asked you a few follow up questions there to try and start helping you.
EDIT - Actually it was in the Q & A forum. Looks like you are getting the correct help here, so I'm bowing out.

Installing themes
No, I didn't move them to the root, but did select the sub directory they are in..

Has to be on root of sd card not in a folder

Not flashing for me either with CWM 3.1.0.1 says "Amend scripting is no longer supported. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages"
Which I do not know how to do. Please help.

Same message here. Not flashing.

Pull it from the zip and install it like an app from your card. Works great.

Extracted with root explorer and moved to sys/apps, worked. Thanks

The .so file needs to be edited. In the orginal zip you can find it.
But from my experiences it just bricks the phone.

[APP][2.3.4/2.3.5] Cyanogen Mms.apk working on Stock Rom

I managed to get the Mms.apk from Cyanogen working on my stock deodexed rom. Settings works perfectly. All I did was compile against the stock sources, and voila, it all works.
I have only tested it on my Rogers i9020a Nexus S, running 2.3.4. Let me know if you have any issues.
I have attached both an apk for package installers, and also a zip for cwm. I highly recommend making a backup of your existing Mms.apk before trying this one, just in case.

Sweet! Thanks for this.
So you decompiled and recompiled? Can u explain more?

i grabbed the latest code for Mms from the cyanogen project on github, and i just replaced the stock Mms source with the one from cyanogen in the android source. i then compiled it, tested it on my phone, and it worked!

Oh ok. Nice job! Works great on Oxygen 2.2.1

Works on bugless and installed fine for me normally, thanx!

Noobish question, what exactly is the difference between this Cyanogen MMS.apk and the stock MMS.apk?

The Cyanogen MMS is more configurable. You can toggle between the standard white background and black background, you can change the font size, SMS split options, change the attachment save folder, custom user agent and other things.

After updating to latest bugless release installing isn't working anymore, it keeps going back to stock after a reboot. I used root explorer to delete stock and stuck the apk in system/apps and matched permissions and that worked.
Quoting myself is odd but I wanted others to see both of my posts together.

i'm pretty sure you have to be rooted to use this, as i don't think you can get at the Mms.apk when your phone isn't rooted. i could be wrong on that. anyone else know for sure?

The OP has a zip for clockwork recovery so using it without root should be OK but you would have to unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash clockwork first which is hallway to root so just take the plunge lol

Imho the stock white-theme just doesn't fit in with the rest of the UI.

it looks essentially the same as the stock MMS.apk, but when you go to Settings, you have the option of changing the background to black, and changing the font size, etc.

[BOOTANIMATION] Droid Razr, Nexus S 4G Optimized

I went through the system dump I had and found the boot animation of the Droid RAZR. I installed it without modification and it was slow and laggy, I modified this bootanimation so it would load faster. (Drop every other frame, change 15 to 30 fps, use PNG instead of JPG)
It should also work well with WVGA screen sizes.

hey tylerwatt12 i figured id let you know the MIUI version of this DOES work, and it works great. Just copy the .mtz to the /MIUI/themes/ folder and then go in and enable through MIUI themes, thanks for the sweet boot animation!

no if u click his download link at the top it brings up his website, there is an MIUI version in the list there. It is already a .mtz format, here is the link to it. http://www.tylerwatt12.com/XDA/d_razr/razr.mtz

Edit: Mtz file works great ...
I made a flash able zip for cm7 etc.
Compared to others, this is the truth. This is truly optimized for performance

[Q] jellybean 3g/4g icon fix doesn't work

I've downloaded and flashed several zip files meant to fix the 3g/4g bug in the exhibit 4g with cyanogenmod10. I'm running the Slimbean ROM. Why can't I get the fix to work? I load it onto my external sd. I then reboot to recovery. I flash the zip file and reboot, and the fix does not seem to take effect. Help!

The fix does not work for themes, if you are using a theme then that's why, only some themes actually have the 4g icons themed. Iced phone and crystal2 both have 4g icons not sure about others

Forgive my dummy-ness. I don't know if I am using a theme. I don't think so, but how do I find out?

Use of theme chooser will tell you. Should list all themes and if you don't know then you probably aren't using a theme.

I have used this one on every ROM available and it works just fine

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I downloaded it. I copied it to my external sd card. I installed it using Clockwork Mod, flashing the zip using the Install From External SD Card command. No good. Still shows either 3g, or sometimes a capital H. What the heck? I live in a heavily saturated 4g city so it's not that I'm standing in a bad coverage zone. Help!

what rom are you using? and what version CWM are you using?

slimbean no 4g

I'm using Slimbean. How do I know the version of clockwork mod I'm using? In what file folder would I find that?

The icon fix does work and I am using twrp not cwm. The thing with the icon fix is the theme might not support the 4g icons as cm10 uses the h icon in place of 4g icon. Stock theme in cm9/10 with fix does work. In jellybean extreme cm10 theme it doesn't because unsupported. Switch back to stock theme using theme chooser and it should show as 4g.
