Woah!!! Chill out guv, guy clearly says he's asking a stupid question, either direct him or leave it to the mod, who asked you to answer anyway???
Adeela, check on the Skins thread, it's a simple matter of downloading file manager from the market, dropping the theme on to the SD Card and then using file manager to install it.

Download the .apk and use Astrofile manager to install the apk file thats what i do and it works fine

I know people don't read every thread but jeez, the sticky has [SKIN] and if they read the first post it tells them.
People really need to read the XDA rules. This is why it is getting more and more difficult to search the forums because of useless posts.

Useless posts like the one you just made?
If you really want to educate the guy then PM him.
I don't mean to be facetious or anything - I just think your initial reply to the OP was a little harsh and not very constructive tbh.

Agreed. The OP has oly just joined, that was his/her 2nd post in which they clearly noted they are new to this.
I am new to Android too and had to get my head around some things, and you can see I have been here a while!
Also as you pointed out the sticky is titled [SKINS] not themes, in some peoples minds these can be quite different things.
Close this thread please.

It's Android3.0 possible for P1000

Android 3.0 on xoom looks good, and is it possible for p1000, will any developer cook for P1000?

There is an entire bounty thread for this already. Please search next time.

It is annoying to see already the 3rd or 4th thread begging for some 3.0 Developer -.-
Just wait... there is surely someone who is working on this.

[Q] Does anyone know where I can download the latest Cognition ROM at?

I was just wondering if anyone knows were I can find the newest cognition ROM. All the links i've tried dont work. I would really apprecaite it. Or Cognitions website, cant seem to find that either. Thanks everyone! PS I believe its Cognition 4.2.1 now, I could be wrong.

Definatley agree. I backed out and counted down 5 threads to find Cog 4.2.2. Can a mod close this and get it off the front page. It's annoying for someone to not read the first post of a thread but not even read the first page of the forum is even worse.

LOL! I don't understand why people have a need to bash each other around. I answered the man's question on the second post. Simple.
Why reply to this thread? let it go.

jaybob or kush deck aosp

Which of these roms will make my old heroc that my gf is currently using quicker to the touch with more battery life. she is currently running aospcm 234.
Seriously how much more aosp can you get.... I used my heroc for a whole year either running cm or something by the dev aosp. now I have jaybob, evervolv, kush deck, etc.... Can someone who has used these roms individually from a non biased standpoint tell me which to use and why? (refrain from fanboy banter)
In the meantime I'm going to put kush deck with jaybobs kernel on there.

wrong section man

Depending on the patience level of your girlfriend, you might want to refrain from Jaybob's kernal. The camera is sometimes intermittent.
If she just wants everything to work, you should consider AOSPs froyo, everything is rock solid stable.
I'm currently trying out Deck, I've used all of them and the only quirk that bothers me is sometimes the GPS signal gets lost. I've actually lowered the max cpu settings and it hasn't happened since...but I'm sure it will.

Although I have not yet tried deck, I have tried aosp's , cm7 (not the latest rc, tho), evervolv, and jaybob's. I would say that out out those, jaybob's was the most hassle-free. Just make sure to flash the .29 kernel so to avoid camera issues (which the .35 tends to have ).

Btw, this should be posted in the q&a section.....
Gin & Salsa

I have been on both. Although I used deck longer both Jaybob's and deck were both equally smooth and hassle free. I recently moved to the most recent CM7 release (not nightly) and love it. It's my new daily driver.
Good luck!

How, would anyone in general or q&a section be able to properly answer that question? And not to mention as promptly as you all just did.
at this point my question has been
answered already thanks a lot guys the heroc community is my favorite.
Just a side note. How do I get rid of the post since its bothering a few people. I think op should be able to delete all somehow right?

Your post in the dev section didn't bother me at all, I just told you it was in the wrong section (as an afterthought...) because there had been quite a bit of hoopla going on lately over that subject (non-dev related posts in the dev section) ... Not so much in the hero c threads, but still. as for getting answered, a lot of knowledgeable people read the q&a section simply because they like helping. You would definitely get answered, maybe not quite as promptly, but definitely.
You can ask a mod to delete the post if you like.
Gin & Salsa

we are here to help thats what xda is for as long as u dont post questions in development your fine if u have a specific question about a rom post it in that roms thread and youll get help alot faster and if it has to do with a bug it helps developers fix the rom to make it better. so please just dont start new threads in development asking questions.

99% of the people in here have tried most ROMs. And on top of all those still here, many of us still check these threads that finally moved on to bigger, better phones.

"Oh my! You look even uglier in 3D"

Cool..cool.. anywho I hear ya on the bigger and badder phones. I'm on evo shift now and love it. When I was on heroc still the best rom imo was aosps froyo. Might very well be still. But gf has heroc now and I want to make sure her phone can keep up with mine. honestly the hero gets better cell service then my shift does. anyways back to the point at hand.. The heroc scene blew back up and I'm excited about it. these deck roms have one hell of a reputation from what I'm gathering. But jaybobs sort of specializing in this phone vs the mass produced roms of kush. I wish I could grab some more opinions from you guys if you have the time.

And this is why q n a section fails. There should be a 24 post option in the development section where everyone I need to talk to is currently residing. You could call it "quick question". Go ahead use that... You're welcome

What the hell are you talking about? How did the Q&A section fail? It's been most helpfull to me.

Qna fails because I originally posted in development and got like five answers in an hour... they moved it to here and I haven't gotten anything but you in days.

For your GF, I'd ruu her back to stock unless she's a techie , then let her decide.. I spend my time trying all these roms for the heroc and I've yet to find one that doesn't have one problem or the other on my particular phone.. Right now I'm on omfgb and its pretty cool, but it has its own set of problems..

did we seriously just do a full 360 on this dude just an fyi the same people that post in development look around in q/a to help out and same goes for general its the exact same comunity. and not as maney people posted afterwords because you already had answers so why would someone reapeat what someone else has already said bottom line is read the forum rules and post in the correct section!

I don't need to watch the noob video I follow xda on twitter.. I know the rules of xda and follow (mostly ^_^) them but have watched them be bent and broken. A feature where questions are temp posted and can be answered quickly would be cool. That's all I'm getting at. the qna section is very useful yes. ps did you notice that the percent of purple complaining about me posting in the wrong section was about equal to the number of thoughtful answers to my questions. Id say its not a problem half the time. No hard feelings. love xda the the users.

if we make a thread inside the dev section for answering questions it would defeat the purpose of THIS q&a section, wouldn't it.......one way to find out which rom is the most popular would be to scan the number of posts in each rom's thread. For instance, look at the amount of activity in the aospcmod gb thread. Easily the most popular rom.

For simplicity and stability, jaybob's aosp with the .29 kernel is pretty good. Very vanilla.

theme question

hey folks,
looking to create an icon pack. Now I use root explorer to find exactly what to name the icons. There are a few I can't find. I'm using the weUI rom and that (along with other roms) have items in their tools folder. Is there a way to find out how to place another icon on these?

<kafepuya gets popcorn and a good seat>

good you can share. From looking at other themes like "pages", the author was able to drop a paperclip over every icon. So this is not likely creating an icon for every app but an image that is placed over unknowns. does anyone know where this could be?

Ok what the heck! This darn xda app sucks! I pressed the development thread and i wound up in the Q&A thread.

I think the only troll in this conversation is you here. Lol, if you still haven't got the message, you posted this thread regarding themes in the wrong forum buddy, next time post in the Q&A section (makes sense?). Just hope you don't get flamed too badly now...

Thread reported to mod.
For the question. Try going to android development and going under themes. Or general and that area. Or google MIUI icon pack how-to and add xda if you feel the need.
That should solve your problem. Just a simple search for the answer.
