Hello,
First post and allready asking stuff.
I'm starting on making themes and although I have read a lot of stuff I can't get it.
Major questions:
- Do I need to have a custom rom to make themes? Can I install a theme on a standard, factory clean android magic?
- What are those RC33, Rc30, etc... And how do I know what do I have?
At the moment I have a stock HTC magic 32A. The only non standard thing in it, is it's rooted.
The build number only says: CL#33743 (no RC stuff...).
Any help would be appreciate.
take a look at this thread...

Hey smurf... thnks for the answer.
I've allready readed that post (and most of the links in it), and still got the same questions.
They only talk about G1/dream and all those RCXX... The problem my magic says CL#33743. Am I missing something here? Do I need to install a RCXX image?

afaik you have to be rooted to install themes, an exception is when you are using a home replacement.
RC stands for Release Candidate and its just a version numbering thing i guess...
Hello again...
Yeah, I tried instead of just asking.
After a few more reading I realise I was making some confusion. I have a rooted phone so I just adb pull the files I needed to theme (framework-res, htclauncher, etc...) changed the drwable files and adb push them again
It's kinda of what a update.zip does but with more files. Nothing better that trying
Now I just don't know why some people ressign apk's, but I guess a little more reading will fix that too.
Thnaks for your help smurf.
i wanna try installing cyanogen modded rom onto my htc tattoo. if anyone has tried it or succeeded in ti or failed in it, please share your openions here.
i wanna know why i cant install it in my tattoo /what are the advantages of installing it/ from where do i get the information/guide to install it on tattoo....
if not possible, i wanna know the reason please... i am pretty sure, atleast someone must have tried doing this adventure... guys comeon please share your knowledge about this modded rom -cyanogen mod....
it's meant for a completely different hardware platform? unless you have a way of modifying it yourself to work with the tattoo's components, good luck!
i didnt get what you mean by completely different hardware platform... ????
because i have seen many HTC users with android on it, trying to install cyanogen mod ROM and most of them have succeeded in it....
its just a curiosity that i am asking here. even i dont know for sure why cyanogen mod doesnt work on tattoo or no one has tried installing/customizing for tattoo...
any input which helps us to install coocked rom/rooting tattoo would be highly appreciated.....
I'm not that much into this whole flashing thing, but as far as i know one of the main problems is that the screen resolution on the tattoo is different that on the hero, magic, etc.
This is the problem with all the apps on the market hero/magic. Those who work with hero, and magic, doesn't work on the tattoo. Not before the developer has modified the apps resolution on the app.
There is probably also other hardware in the phone, and therefore there has to be developed drivers that fit that hardware.
Hello!!!someone has proven to tutorials for the root htc hero or magic in the tattoo?
No. Not yet. If you don't know what 'root', 'superuser', or flashing means, I wouldn't recommend risking your phone doing the said activity. More for experienced people.
I am a newbie to android and in no way a developer...but am surely adventurous....I will also help in testing as long as step by step instructions are available...thanks so much for stirring up some interest in this...

Exactly! As soon as step by step instructions are available, people who own the tattoo and want to flash roms will be able to. For now, we just have to wait for a breakthrough.
Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.
I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?
Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!
I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?
Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

Hi, guys, I had try my best doing compile Android 4.1 jellybean for LG Optimus 2x devices. But I found that after I flashed the rom, there was not any logs out in logcat. I shared the devices and vendors in github.com/YoRotary. Anybody interested in these, please work together to try to make the rom worked for these two devices.

Hello devs! im trying to port a rom from the infuse, the zeus rom.i do not have permissions from the dev of the rom to port it so its only for personal use and for any one who can help port the rom. Unless dman the dev asks me to release publicly for the device. I googled how to do it follow step by step instructions and tried a few different base roms but i cant get it to boot(stays on i9000 screen) Ive tried to figure oet how to modify the updater script and whatnot but im kinda new to coding(I think this is where my problem is is in the script). right now its a learning process for me, I got a pretty good learning curve so i can catch on really quick. I really like the rom so i relly want to do it. I already sent dman a message asking for his expertice cause he built it so we might also get his help with the project. any help is great and you will be mentioned if it ever goes public.
Thanks!
bump cause i really want to use this rom
