I got the apk and all but im wondering how can i switch it i tried and it said install failed
Simply uninstall the regular launcher pro and then install plus.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
it wont let me theres no option to uninstal it well there is but i cant click it
Im not sure how to do it
Use titanium backup to remove it. Or use the custom update.zip tool to create a startup script that will delete launcher pro, and replace with it with the new apk.
I have a script I can share with you that does that plus a few other things, just flash in recovery
Could u share it with me or show me how to use the titanium backup thing sorry im slightly new feel free to PM me
Can you please share with me as well - thanks
Hi, I am wanting to become a ROM developer.
Where should I start? (I think getting a computer would be a good start, but i'm on this)
What language are roms written in?
I have very basic knowledge of Android app programming with eclipse.
Any help appreciated!

Begin with Soft-modding first.Try creating some of your own Soft-MODs. Experiment with AOSP ROMs. Understand the Android system.
Start off with Android's own guide at http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
Becoming a ROM developer isn't easy at all.
Regarding Programming languages, as most of the Android source code is in C/C++ try to master them first. Android apps are in JAVA, so you might need to learn it too (not actually required if you're just beginning).

Sorry for being an idiot, but what does a 'Soft Mod' actually involve?

Soft-MOD means you modify an existing ROM (any ROM), add your apps, remove some stock apps, change themes, etc.
To create a Soft-MOD, all you need is Root Explorer. But before that create a backup of your system and data in Recovery (for Precaution). Browse to your system directory, make it Read/Write. Remove any unwanted stock apps (like Dev Tools, Spare parts) or any app you don't want. Just delete the APK. Now add your apps to it. Just paste your app APK file from your SD Card (or from the /data directory) and change permission to rw-r--r--
After applying all the changes, reboot your Phone into Recovery and create another Backup (your Soft-MOD with your data), Wipe data/Factory Reset. Turn On your phone to check whether everything is working or not. Reboot into Recovery. Again Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Again Backup everything. This backup which you'll create is your actual Soft-MOD.
Copy it into your computer and upload it. Restore your system to the second backup.
This is just a basic way of Soft-MODing. Another way is to use DsiXDA's kitchen but it's bit advanced. Best of Luck!

Hi, I looked at this but didn't understand it. How do you get the things once you have selected them?

the easiest is to do it with a cyanogenmod e.g muraiks rc5
DO A FULL NANDROID BACKUP FIRST
#
it might be that the kitchen sais its full just wait some time..
-first u should do all mods u like
-go on the bar to file upload and do either cm7 theme (recommended!!!)and upload a theme (e.g androidian, u find it in /system/app via rootexplorer, copy, not move !!! to sd card and transfer it to PC and upload)
or system files and upload framework-res.apk from the ROM and systemui.apk if you use gingerbread ROM, you find them via root explorer(copy,not move !!!to sd, then to PC):
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/app/systemui.apk ( i think)
then u go to summary and submit your work.
u will get a uotfile.zip after a quarter of time .#
this one you install via clockworkmod (recommended :3.x.x.x)
if you still have questions just ask

Thanks for your sharing. May I ask this file applied to any rom?
yes.... for all stock roms
If you put the photos
Alternative Install Method worked for Me
Download the Glasstheme zip, extract, copy out the SystemUI.apk and place it on your SD Card. On your Gtab, copy your original SystemUI.apk (from the System/App folder) and save it on your SD card as a backup in a different directory. Then go back and copy your extracted SystemUI.apk and paste into the original System/App location; You will get force closes, but then just Hit Power and Reboot.
On reboot, your new theme is applied.
This way you can restore your original SystemUI.apk at any time.
Thanks to ssaass for creating it!
Awesome theme mate! does it work with "Tweaked stock Rom 3 Final"? if it doesnt can you make a version that works, please?!
---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
Ok I tried the theme on "Tweaked Stock Rom 3" but it didnt work, the Rom booted normally but with no status Bar anyways I uploaded my SystemUI file extracted from this Rom in hope you can help make this theme compatible with Rom. I can test it out for you if you want before release. Thanks

Didn't work for me but thanks to this post my tab is ok again!
Thanks!
Didn't work for me neither, even though I am sure the /system/app/SystemUI.apk was replaced and the device was rebooted. Thanks anyway for your kind effort.
Is this for ODEX or deOdexed rom?

Hi XDA
After installation how can i remove it?
Does anyone have a screenshot of what this is??
does anyone know how to change it back to the stock theme??
im not developer, just customizing allready existing rom
Windows android 7(.2)
First of all, credits:
1. MEBITEK, cm 7.2. rc1 is d base of this rom
2. Achyut, some wp7 base apps, which really make diference
3. Imbawind, for Adrenalin engine ( im still waiting for his permision)
This rom is equiped with all FREE wp7 apps, cause paid apps are not allowed, this is maxed out wp 7 rom.
Soft buttons are added and ultimate multimedia enchacment.
Theme is made in UOT kitchen, so you can customize it with any other theme.
There is an app that is called MetaMorph, with that, you can change your windows animation, i will upload working animation, and you change it as you wish, folow the instructions. TRY IT, YOU WONT REGREAT IT!
****DO NOT USE IT WITH UOT THEME, JUST WITH STOCK!!!!
My pc is gonne mad, so i uploaded my backup of rom , over clockword recovery to my dropbox, sorry for that.
here is the link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87654845/2012-07-09.08.39.30.zip
finnaly, here is animation pack, unpack it and follow the instruction of Metamorph apk
And pls, post your review, bad or good, to know what next
its not a copy of any other rom, i made it by myself, idea was born a long ago, but since no one producing full wp7 based rom, i did it...if you dont like it, dont instal it
INSTALATION!!!!
i allready told you i have problem with my PC so i cant sing zip package
so i uploaded my backup of the rom
1. download and extract
2. put extracted folder named 2012-07-09.08.39.30. in sd card/clocworkmod/backup
3. DO NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PREVIOS ROM
4. go to clockworkmod recovery and WIPE data and cache
5. restore my backup
6. reboot and its done
screenshots in attachment
(next project is BusinessMiNi)

I don't think it's a stolen idea. When my friend bought a Lumia 710 I tried making my phone look like WP7 too. And that was probably before your ROM was announced.
