Hi guys,
i have a question about applying a custom theme within a custom rom. Let's say i cooked a rom with the 1.6 kitchen and let it all default, just a minimalized rom.
Now when i cook a theme with the UOT kitchen and flash it through recovery, all goes well.
But i don't want to flash it after flashing the rom. I want to implement it in to the rom, so just one flash to get my phone look nice.
When i put the framework-res.apk in my extracted rom folder in /system/framework i only get bootloops after flashing.
any ideas ?
normally that should work with no problems ...
i used to do that with my themes for samsung galaxy spica, always worked well
just exchange framework-res.apk in your rom with your themed one ...
but i haven´t tried on optimus 2x yet ...

you have to exchange update-binary from uot kitchen with this one :

then flashing works
Okay I switched from an iPhone to Android because I love alot about the android platform, but something I REALLY loved is the way that I saw black notification bars. I got an optimus v and realize the notification bar is white...I have it rooted and metamorph installed, what themes can I use without screwing up my phone? Also, I can't make an nandroid backup because my phone is not listed in ROM Manager.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? And for the black status bar install AOSP CM7 rom or use uto kitchen to get black status bar on Froyo.
Rom Manager doesn't support the Optimus V. So I wouldn't bother using it it could put your phone into a boot loop.

Thanks for responding. I made a custom status bar with uot kitchen but have a question, is it possible to install it with a rooted, stock rom? And How do you make a backup of the optimus v without clockwork?
You might find more specific (to your phone) info here.

Uto has to be flashed in recovery use xionia recovery . Or use rom tools to push it to the phone. To make a backup install xionia and choose backup and restore then choose backup. If your still on stock recovery I'd suggest downloading and installing a custom recovery. Clockwork only works with cm7 when flashing custom roms. Xionia works with all custom roms. But if you want to stay with the stock rom and make a nandroid backup go with xionia using rom tools. Hope that helped.

Thanks, do you recommend me flashing a certain rom? If so, which one? Does it have everything working such as receiving MMS?
I'm using AOSP CM7 2.3.4 gingerbread port the only thing not working on it is Bluetooth and an alarm clock glitch. The alarm clock glitch is fixable. I don't use either so it doesn't bother me. If you want a good 2.2 froyo rom that has everything working I'd suggest either Harmonia or Bumblebee over at android central. I like AOSP because of the theme Chooser for cm7. There are plenty of mdpi themes for cm7 for our phones.If you decide to use aosp go to romrepo.com download the flash image which is clockwork. Download the latest release of aosp and download the Google app zip. All 3 roms are stable and fast and have the ability to move apps to SD overclocking and more. Just depends on what you want and use honestly. If you have any problems feel free to pm me ill try to help as much as I can.

I have always been an avid visitor of this forum and the wealth of knowledge of you developers out there really amazes me...
Ok, over to my query, i bought my LG O2x a week ago, and i am really fascinated by the number of custom roms available here and i would like to try out quite a few, the thing is, i really like the stock rom on my O2x, and after flashing it with one or two custom roms, i would like to go back to my stock rom
Can someone please send me links on how to take nandroid backup of my O2x, how to back up all applications and restore them, how to flash back my stock rom??
Appreciate any help in this regard...

I would check out this forum, there's a lot of great info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
EDIT:
Sorry, couldn't help myself. It can be confusing first time around. You need to install clockworkmod to do nandroid backups. A full backup will include all the applications.
Alternatively you can download titanium backup which will backup all your apps. That does require root, though.
Read the {Start here} thread to learn how to install cwm(clockworkmod) and how to root.

Nandroid backup is a FULL backup of your phone!
This means that It backups rom, sms, accounts, apps, widgets, and all the settings.
Titanium backup can backup all apps and settings "only".
They can be used together, and they are a must if you want to try new roms
I think this is the way to go:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
It won't get more "stock" then this i think

I might have another question here, supposedly i take NANDROID backup through CWM recovery, can i flash the backup image again using CWM recovery?
If u use the modaco fr17 rom. Im on the fearkill rom u can use the stock launcher and install all the lg apps. Its like a smoother amd more stable version of stock that u r running

im using the first link... perfect rom. only in the screenshots he is using a diffrent launcher.
if u install the normal version (NOT THE VANILLA VERSOIN) u will have the stock launcher and u can use it like the stock rom. it is faster and stable and more thats all.
one should also note, that a NANDROID backup also backups the ROM itself, so if you revert to stock and start the NANDROID restore, you'll get the ROM you had before "stockifying" back.
I'd recommend TI Backup for apps and MyBackup Root for SMS/Settings. If you sync your contacts and calendar with google, I advise you to exclude these items when backing up.

This should have gone in the Mosaic IV Q&A section. And to answer your question...Typically when installing themes you want to make sure the theme was made using the same firmware version that you are running. Such as a JVH theme should be applied to a JVH rom. Also you could have asked in the theme thread how to install the theme, but I checked it out for you. It's a CWM file. Just flash it in recovery, but make sure you make a back-up in case something gets messed up.
I did verify that it was a jvh rom. but i did not know how different the captivate & I9000 are. just wanted to make sure.
When you make sure i back up, what do you mean excatly? back up theme, if so how? or do you mean back up rom, kernel?
thanks for replying!

Just make sure you have a theme that you know for a fact will work with Mosaic IV. That way if something does mess up you can just boot into recovery and flash that theme instead of re-flashing the entire rom
Cool that's what i figured, i did have a back up. Everything looked awesome except for the "Contacts". When i would click on contacts it would get this error
"!Select an Action
Sorry!
Application %1$s
Any ideas?
Thanks again for your reply.
(in process %2$s)
I always thought those I9000 themes would only work on a stock platform.of course with the matching firmware is this true?
I wouldn't mind trying out some of the jvp themes on symply rom.

I tried a couple themes from over in the i9000 forum .. You got that because those themes are not 100% compatible with our roms. The Cappy devs tweak stuff in the framework a little differently because of hardware differences etc and that causes mismatches, especially with themed apps like contacts. I had the worst case of that ever when I flashed a theme over mosaic 3 and my dialer would give me that message after every number i typed in. crazy things can happen Its best to just to wait it out until the Mosaic team port all their stuff, that way you wont have any problems at all. They have all the best themes anyways.

I mean you can try, I found a couple that worked with roms I was using. Always keep a backup theme though. Ive been put in bootloops before and had to re-flash entire roms at like 12% battery just to get myself out.
Ya thats what i kinda figured. that them is awesome and i would love to have it on my captivate.
thanks for the reply.

Hello welcome to the first ever Synyster rom. This is going to be complete 100% dinc stock that i will create from a nandroid back up (im getting a refurbished one today) It will be posted tonight so if anyone wants to be alpha testers PM me or simply comment. Also, if you want to be a tester, i would rather you have a good understanding of rom development. This is so that if you run across a problem you could fix it for me since i know little about this. If you are able to fix something and do it succssfully i will update the post and give you credit for what you did.

nice name.
While I love your enthusiasm, Stock+ is a good stock ROM. There's also several other releases of the OTA on here. If you were to develop another stock ROM for this community, it really wouldn't be a very big contribution.
A community built ROM is kind of a cool idea though.

yea but theres times when im looking for a pure stock rom for it and i can never find it. I love stock plus its great but i have 2 primary reasons for this: giving people a pure stock rom, and giving people a pure stock rom to use as a base. also i plan to do this for several other devices thatll be the point of the synyster stock rom series is to give different phones absolute stock if needed.

Why build from a nandroid when the ruu and otas are available? That makes no sense to me personally.

Might I suggest using the latest OTA? A nandroid backup isn't necessarily the best base for a rom.
If you do end up going the way of a nandroid backup, only use the system and boot images. The data and cache partitions will be created on first boot.
I would also suggest making a /data/app folder in your rom zip for bloat/market apps, so the user can uninstall them easier.

cause im originally making this for normal use like any other rom im just allowing people to use it as a base if they so choose. also alot of people that are new to making roms dont know how to use otas or the ruu so using this would be a great way for them to start out
If you want a stock ROM just use the OTA.
Let me google that for you.

If you are using the kitchen to build your ROMs you are better off using the rom.zip file found in the RUU or one of the other bases already posted on here. There are like 5 or them already. I personally would never use any ROM built off a nandroid even my own. That said I have made my own stock ROMs before using the kitchen and found its best to just use wildstangs gingerbread base which has been cleaned up removing all the Sprint stuff out of it. Saves the time of going in and editing the build.prop file yourself.
To extract the rom.zip file start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type %temp% now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom.
Wildstangs base:
