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.
My galaxy note kernel version is DXLC2 (malaysia)
Did I need to downgrade my kernel version frist???
I suggest you don't root your phone otherwise it will be too troublesome for you, i.e. do a lot of reading, keep up with development (which also need a lot of reading), fine tuning your custom ROM (which also need a lot of reading), the list will never ends (which unfortunately needs much reading as well!).

Yes, you should downgrade first in order to get root. Here's a little guide I wrote on how to do it, hope it helps:

Hey danwteik,
Indeed you need to do some further researching before proceed for rooting as I believe you don't want to screw your phone up.
But as long as you're prepared, you're OK. Am too a newbie to Android and after lots of research, I've successfully root & flash my phone to custom rom as well.
Just follow this guide from Ashwin, great step by step guide and you won't need to worry much as you can proceed as per the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjh6gi0Spw
Just like the firmware from the video, go download it from Dr Ketan's thread:

questions regarding root
hi all xda guys,
I am new to droid and love it thus far...
after having my galaxy note for a few weeks and doing some reading, ive decided i want to root my phone to have the best working phone possible HOWEVER im completely clueless when it comes to being this technologically adept. so i hae a few questions as follow:
1. ive read the root thread and see that there are a few different options for rooting, in everyones opinion which is the best / easiest to perform the most basic root to unlock my phone, root it and be able to install custom items.
2. CWM i assume means clock work mod...what is this mod exactly? and why is it important to install along with the root?
3. my phone settings read that my kernel version is 2.6.35.11..one rooting option i believe requires you finding out which kernel your running and they list kernels as kk## etc. how do i figure out exacty which kernel I am if it only reads the previously listed kernel version?
4. what exactly does it mean when someone told me theyre going to instal custom kernels? ( i have a friend who just bought and rooted a new Samsung GS2 and im curious as to what this means)
5. i've read the rooting directions and watched videos posted and googled my brains out...does anyone know where i can go to find the most basic and simplest explanation and directions for rooting my GN? (if youre reading and got this far and saying the explaination in the root thread IS THE EASIEST it can be....i need something dumbed down to the level a 2 year old can understand....this stuff is mind-boggling confusing for me for some reason i cant wrap my head around the process or the concept)
6. i basically want to root my phone for these reasons
- to figure out and manage to make my phone use less running ram to run faster
- to be able to install or customize the phone to make my battery last longer
- to be able to do whatever it takes to tether my phone without having to pay for it in my data plan
-to be able to install or whatever it is that allows me to customize my phone (themes, fonts, icons, etc)
- to use my phone worldwide on different carriers without having to pay for unlocking, buying other sim cards etc.
- to install or whatever to have my phone do amazingly cool stuff. (this isnt as important as 1-5 but hey who doesnt want a phone that can do everything and then some?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! i've googled it and asked friends and even have contacted someone on craigslist who offers a service for a nominal fee. but im smart and smart enough technologically speaking that i can figure it out.
i just need someone to sit down with me and explain everything step by step and answer my questions. PLEASE i'm willing to do anything and everything possible to learn and re-pay someone for their awesome-ness and sharing their intelligence.
someone something, please help a fellow user out.
*i'd even go so far as to pay-pal someone a few bucks or bake you a cake and ship it to you. im that serious.
please guys,
XDA rocks, droid rocks, YOU rock, just help me out...i've spent 5 days trolling xdas forums and other sites and forums and have just gotten more confused. someone dumb this down for me!
best regards,

Yes, it does make a slight difference inasmuch it's a totally different phone from N7000. Look, it even has its own forum:

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy Note last week and would like to root it. I found the link below and would like to check with you guys first if they really work. I could not post on that thread for I'm a new member. I think some of you have posted in that thread too. Please help.

4.Read installation guide on post from whr you downloading. I can add, dont flash CSC otherwise, it will wipe off data.
Hello Friends.
I am very keen on getting started with the Rooting process for my Galaxy Note. I have been reading and trying to comprehend the various methods of achieving root but it seems overwhelming and daunting.
I reiterate what I have stated in another thread, I am an infant in this domain. I feel much too confused presently and thus I humbly request you to please guide me one step at a time.
At the very beginning, I aspire to achieve two motives. They are -
1] Root my device
2] Back up the stock ROM
My device details are :
Model number
GT-N7000
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband version
N7000XXKK5
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
I thank you in advance for continuing to have patience with me.
Okay.... Well, I'm a totally new to the android world and I see everyone talking about Rooting and the CyanogenMod. alright. I got ma phone rooted and I understood that with the rooted device we can have the access to do whatever we want to the apps in our own phones and much more but i don't know what else can I do with my rooted G-S4, rather than just removing the unwanted apps... I have some serious questions and I hope to get the answers for all of them... I appreciate all of your help guys
1. What is the "CyanogenMod" and what's good about it?
2. Why we need it?
3. Should my device be rooted to get it?
And IF I'm gonna need to change something in ma rooted software, PLEASE tell me... Again, I'm really thankful for every answer I get
Hello guys,
I have the note 5 n900c, and I am interested in rooting and installing custom packages.
Could anyone with some experience compile a quick guide on:
How to find the latest rooted stock firmware for Note 5
How do you keep the device updated when Samsung releases new firmware (or updates) ? do you have to wipe each time ? how do you backup if so?
I am just looking for a convenient way to root and keep the device up-to-date with all the minor fixes released by Samsung.
Thank you guys for helping.

Hi,
Firstly search XDA Note5 forum and you will learn.!
There is threads/Guide, in General forum of Note5 and on other websites /forums.
Secondly, you state you" have a note 5 n900c "..?
You sure not a" N920C "model.?
Remember , if you root you cannot install OTA /updates from Samsung, (unless you unroot etc)
Even if you manage to download a OTA, you most likely will "brick" you device!
Otherwise, you have to flash current new updated Samsung Rom , everytime and root again.
Before you attempt to root...... you have to read alot and Google search to find the correct information. Also viewing YouTube videos helps.
I can deduct from your post, you still have a lot to learn about rooting.
Don't just root because it "cool"!
Remember, in effort to root, you can brick your device...!
trip Knox, plus other issues etc. maybe your device does not want to enter "sleep" mode, maybe warranty etc. Can't install "certain apps " because your device is rooted.
So after you searched and have read the Guides that is available, then decide what you want to do.?
Also note, that for some device /models, members do not have root.. yet.!
Its your device..!
good luck

Hi,
Yes, if you flashed a good reliable custom Rom ,
the relevant dev of Rom most probably would keep updating "all." plus other handy mods and features. etc
He would also most probably specify this in relevant custom Rom thread (Normally , the first, second or third post.)
I would not worry to much about this. Just subscribe to that
thread, that you know of any issues or new versions
that is available.
Good luck

Hey,
Sorry to give you the bad news, but you're out of luck with this device - it's not supported too well both here and in 4PDA forums, where I assume you got the TWRP recovery.
Unless someone decides to take their time, I doubt that anyone will really make a ROM for this, let alone LineageOS.
But hey - you've got yourself root and recovery, so be a proud user of a rooted device!
thanks bro I'll rest in peace ?
