Hey guys so ive got one of the Rogers dream phones,.I was wondering if it is possible to flash one of the themes (meteamorph)? The reason I ask is that these phones are EBI1 not EBI0 like the tmobile ones.
Being ebi1 makes it so that not everything is compatible, an example of this is the cyanogen rom, it is not compatible with out a special kernel for our phones.
Once again, are the metamorphosis themes compatible with our ebi1 phones?
I am in the exact same boat lol my provider is fido and I use the latest cyanogen on my rooted ebi1 rogers dream I jus thought that this was a funny coincidence oh and obviously I'm in canada ps . I reall would like it if brian the god who makes our cyanogen port files, ported the 10mb ram hack
Themes are all good. I've used the ones from the cm updater with no issues. I also tried some meteamorphs a while ago with no issues. I think there is an issue with meteamorph on the latest cyanogen thoe. not 100% sure
To the first poster, yeah that would be great because we can't get dwangs fast rom on ebi1. Do you know if anyone has asked him to port it?

Where can I get cm updater from? I didn't find it on the market. And am I correct in thinking that the cm updater does more than just update cyanogen roms?
EDIT ive found it and see that it can update the cm aswell as use themes. I still need an answer to my post after this one.
I am wondering if it is safe to use cm updater to update our phones because we require the special kernal to use cm. Do we need to apply a kernal everytime, does it do it for us, or do we do it ourselves. (This is regarding updating the cm itself not the theme)
Hey guys, so I am still waiting for a response regarding my above post but in addition I would like to say that I now have a theme using cm updater. I downloased the first one in the recommened list. I was wondering what the difference between advance and regular launcher. There where two options for this theme one with regular other with advanced. I chose regular because I don't know what a lanucher is.
i have heard that people have asked him but he hasnet responded with a definitive answer

You just need to add the bcrook Kernel as a theme. Follow the directions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592377
To Update:
1. Themes > Menu > Check Now
2. Select the newest bc-ebi1 file from the theme section
3. Click on it and download it, choose Apply Later when finished.
4. Download the newest Cyanogen ROM from the ROM section. Choose Apply Now.
This will reboot to recovery and flash the newest cyanogenmod. Then apply the previously downloaded port file.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the link andanswer, that will come in handy.
Another question I have is what's the difference between advanced and regular launcher?
You can look at the thread for advanced laucher and see the differences. Folders, change the number of home screens and more.
hmm i have a rogers dream and ive never had problems with themes, cm updater or anything. also ive never had to install any "special" kernel for any rom ive put on my phone.
im pretty sure i used the "rogers one touch root" guide in the dev forum when i originally rooted my phone.
is there a difference between the old and new rogers dreams? or are all this ebi1??
I use the enoch theme and it works great and looks even better. I think that most roms don't touch the kernel so they should be fine.

There is a difference but it isn't with the radio (ebi1 vs ebi0) its with the spl. It just requires the one click root to get around. You must have used haykuro's method to root which switches your radio to EBI0 making it compatible with any rom for the G1.

ahh makes sense, i used haykuro's method. thanks for the clarification.
hey i am using the binary something theme. When on the old Cyanogen rom it had the same theme but with the lockscreen, when updating to the latest CM rom i dont see the lock screen version anymore. (i am using CM updater)
Ok so I am now using the enoch theme, I like the blue accent and the transparent design to show more background. One thing that I miss is the lock screen, CM updater doesn't show any option for installing a enoch lockscreen. Is there any way to get a lockscreen? Also can I use any lockscreen even if it is not enoch? (Cm updater shows no lockscreens anyway)
Does the latest CM rom 12.2 not support any lockscreens yet? Or do I just need to add more sorces for themes in cm updater? If so could someone guide me into doing that.
could someone please answer as to can I use any lockscreen? and how can i get this done with cm updater?
I am new, and have rooted my Hero and am wondering how i would go about installing the themes that i see located in the forum?
Thank ya in advance!!
Themes are usually specific per custom ROM. Since you're just rooted, I'm guessing you haven't flashed a custom ROM yet? If you have, the theme should say specifically what ROM it's for.
I see the popular ones here seem to be fresh, pure hero and the one i want to install with the theme is ALosyius 2.1 so i am seeing that i need to wipe before i install the new ROM with the theme
How do i go about wiping?
Also the original ROM that installed was by regaw, but i don't see a specific name for the ROM
I'm just curious about these sense roms out right now. I run cm6 but i"m wanting to run a sense rom until the wildfire 2.2 port is ready for everyday use. I tried zenfx but it doesnt support live wallpapers. Now I realize lwp's don't run very well due to our processer but some do. What I am tryin to get at is I am trying to find a sense rom with the new .7 update that runs lwp's and apps 2 sd. Iam having a difficult time finding one. now i can run zenfx with .7 update but is there a flashable zip to give you lwp's ? Or a rom in which these are included. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
check out dangerrom2.1 he has a flashable zip for lwp.
link to DangerRom
link to lwp.zip
I appreciate it but it says that is for cellular south. I know the rom would be
compatible but would'nt the network settings be different since I'm on Sprint. Also I wonder if the flashable zip would work for that new zen fx . The reason I say that is I was trying to get a rom based off the new htc update from a week ago. I found plenty of them they just don't offer live wallpaper.

the network settings should be fine. i am a cellular south customer and i have used the sprint based roms, just had to get the sprint carrier name off of the lockscreen and notifications tray. (pretty easy search for eri.xml)
just to be safe i wouldn't flash the radio. but i think that you can just flash the LWP.zip without the whole rom. make a nandroid backup and try it, what have you got to lose?
Here is a quality sense rom. This is my sense rom of choice. Has everything you're looking for.

So I finally decided to root my N1 after owning it for about 7 months now, I'm sick of using the stock theme, I want to black out my status bar and have a cool theme on it, so any suggestions?
Complete newb.
Should I flash a new rom? Any fast roms that look almost stock but with more of a galaxy vibrant look to it?
All newbies should start with Cyanogen. I did it and it was worth it. Try Cyanogen Mod v6.0.0. If you are feeling adventurous then try one of the MIUI based roms... its different.
Eh I wouldn't say that since cyanogen doesn't come with gApps. Start with something like leofroyo or something with a blackbar mod and move from there. Once you've flashed a few times and are confident in your abilities, move on to cyanogen and learn2play.
Why not start out with Geo's ROM ? Almost stock but has a black bar add on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
Can anyone provide instructions on how to flash a new rom? Should I just download the rom file, rename it to update.zip and do it from recovery? How would I go about flashing Geo's ROM?
Do I also need to unlock bootloader?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader (I haven't), but you will need a custom recovery.
Read the wiki for 'how to':

Any recommendations on ROMs? How does the Evil Desire HD rom run? Smooth? Fast?
def. recommend enom's with the galaxy theme
Im new to this whole rooting thing and im wondering what do i do now? How do i get the themes on my phone? Ive only used tethering so far so can someone tell me where to go and how do i go about getting the themes on my evo?
You need to flash a custom rom that supports theming - some themes are flashable zips while some roms support direct theming as part of the rom. CM7 has the Theme Chooser which uses apks that were made specifically for the Theme Chooser. MIUI has the Theme Manager which uses mtz files. I'm not sure if there are any Sense roms that include something similar. You cannot theme the stock rom as it is odexed. If you want to stay on stock then you can flash the rooted stock deodexed rom. There are a ton of great roms in the Evo Development forums, so head over there. If you have any further questions, post them in the Evo Q&A forum. Do your research first and only ask a question once you've read the stickies and any noob guides.
You need to start with a custom rom first, then you can figure out how to theme it.
