Thanks to all the developers out there who make this possible. Keep up the great work!

Why do we need this site when we have xda? Anything new would be posted here first so you're just copying the threads here?

+1 also your links are broken (dj_steve update links)

I will try to post the two original files somewhere when I get home.

Right, I am just copying what is in the forum threads for the purpose of making it easier for newbies to make these updates. Also, there is no forum on my site, it is strictly informational. In any instance where someone had questions about the content of my site, I would always refer them to the xda forum. I will continue to include links in the articles to the relevant original xda thread as well.
Thanks for the heads up on the broken link, I am in the process of making sure I have the updated as well as original files available. Further suggestions are appreciated.

I have the originials. Have a place i can put them?

Since I am currently unemployed, I am going into town today to register with a temp agency. I will hit up a coffee shops wireless and get the files uploaded. My Clear ISP is pretty crappy. I can upload the boot image, but not the system, it is too big.

How do I make a "nandroid" of my computer?

I haven't wiped my computer in 6 years.
I'm about to reformat my hard drive and start fresh but want to make a restore image just in case.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If your on linux just run dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/place/you/want/it
then to restore just switch if and of. That's what I do. Might work on a Mac too. On windows.. get a Linux live CD and do that?

7 annoys me. It's too user friendly and all the controls are hidden behind wizards.
I'm thinking of buying a new computer but since it's been 6 years without a wipe I'm sure this one can run faster.
But that is not the point of this thread.

To answer the OP there are several products for creating a Disk Image. Acronis make a good one:
http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/
Vista/Windows 7 have built in imaging capability but as you're on XP you'll have to pay for something. If you're doing a fresh install though, i don't see the benefit of imaging your drive as it is now. It would make sense to do it after you've reinstalled and re-configured your OS so that you have a clean image to go back to in future. What can you do with an image of an old, tired install?
Perhaps you'd just be better off just backing up all of your important data onto a spare drive and forgetting about the image?

Good. Then the noobs will change settings less.

Honestly I would just run a quick google search (recovery disk/iso for model#) if you can't find any free or cheap available for your model then I would stick to the recovery software option.. there's too many to count but you can usually find free trials for these recovery tools. If not, send me a PM.

Thanks for that. At recommendations from several sources it looks like DriveImageXML is the best place to start.
On a separate note I'm thinking going Linux. From what I've read it sounds like it's community built and supported, much like CM. If that's the case I'm sure I'll love it.

Theme app

I've wondered about this for a long time now and with all these themes being released I think it is even more needed. I'm no good at coding but I know a few people who took android app classes in my college. I was thinking about trying my hand at it with the aid of their book and hopefully some people on here and my friends from school. Who would want a theme chooser app. Name will probably be something along the lines of Flash Themes. let me know what you guys think.
Also, I have no idea how to go about doing any of this but I feel like a bum using everything that everyone has been making for this phone without giving something back.

That would be dope! Yeah I wish I could contribute more. All I've done was post the vs910zv6 tot and some testing. Not that helpful.... Hopefully we have more people like you willing to contribute

I know what you mean man, swype theming was about the extent of my knowledge ( and I learned that on the fly as well).
At any rate, a theme app would be awesome!
Join the revolt!

Well I was talking to the cubed in the irc tonight about my thoughts. He thought it was an awesome idea. But then he realized that 2.2.2 doesn't support on the fly theme switching. So we have to wait for 2.3 or cm7. Cm7 does cone with it's own theme picking app but I still plan to make this one do we can have all the themes that someone might make.

Haro might not be much help but I know if you download one of droidth3ory roms for the thunderbolt you could pull his theme chooser out of it and take a look at his coding on it. Of course that is based on 2.3 but it might help you study up on some stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to have to wait for 2.3 to come out for this to work anyways.

I found someone the other day who knows what they are doing with Android apps to help me out with this. I have almost everything installed on my Windows desktop and plan to start on it sometime next week. If anyone who has made a theme could give me the Okay to put their theme into this it would be awesome since without that I don't have it app it would be much appreciated.
ETA: When it's ready for release.

If I can get this newer theme going at 100% then you can definitely throw it in with your app! Thanks for "taking the bull by the horns" on this project man. Nice to see someone step up and take a project head on.
I was like this when I made my very first ROM for the HTC Eris. Other ROMs were out but I didn't feel I was getting the speed and functionality that my phone could have. So I sat down one night and started reading, messing around with things and downloading programs on my laptop. 1 week later I had my first ever ROM! Everyone that installed it, loved it. Had to pull the first version because Wifi would connect, then disconnect, then reconnect (you get the picture lol).
Anyway, long story short. Sometimes if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. Glad you're doing this Haro and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Bootanimation Thread Epic 4g

Was wanting to see if we could start a bootanimation Thread that only has bootanimation. So here you go, I personally do not have a boot to post but was hoping this would make things easier for people.
Please give credit to those that made it. if you are just posting here for others... i also can not post links yet so. please help fill the thread

That is funny I was literally thinking about starting this thread earlier today. The one I am currently using is the high def droid peeing on apple.

On Gingerbread, you have to rename those files "bootani" or something. (Sanim.zip?) Anyway, I could never get them to work after Froyo.

Sent from my HTC first using xda premium

just to update anyone who cares... i have been way busier than i expected to be and as it is not my personal phone my time available with it is even more limited. so i have not had a chance to really get into testing and troubleshooting(im sure there is going to be something there always is). so will update this post as soon as i know if it works(or how bad it is).
as mentioned above other people who i am sure have more knowledge in the workings of android and porting are also working on it. if in fact they share before i get a chance to test my(botched im sure) build i will abandon this as i have alot going on.

Well i finally had a chance to try it out and.........FAIL. So looks like I will be back in the boat waiting for someone smarter than me(looking at you @Zarboz) to come up with the port. Doesn't seem like it should be hard since it is almost exactly the same hardware running both phones... But I think that not having a 4.2.2 base on this phone will make it a little harder. Well that and an extra button...
