[REQ]Mythamps Nexus contacts theme

A few weeks back, I could get this working on a Sense FroYo rom. (for the life of me, I can't remember what one it was)
Since flashing different roms, I haven't been able to make it work on any. Always results in the contacts app being removed.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Really nice.
Di someone succed to flash that on a CM6 ROM? I'm too afraid to do that.

Works on latest DeFrost.
I love the theme, especially the dialer look.

Sound more complicated, here are some stuff I don't Understand very weel.
They are located from post #16 in the original thread you linked in first post:
"U have to rename the file cm6phone.APK to Phone.apk and then dump it in the update.zip, reflash and goodluck. Thanks all"
"I think the CM Rom owners need to get some help from their romdev gurus there"
"No that recovery update is for stock rom owners,
this mod is not working for CM6 users"

Yeah, I don't think its working for CM6. Check the first post in that thread, it links to a few pages for cm6 users.

Yeah, I tried the CM6 modified version, and they work pretty well.
Unfortunately, they are not up-to-date with the screenshots ( older version)
I cannot believe that someone here is not intersted by porting this theme to CM6 to our Desire...
Would be awesome

The complete theme looks sweet (not only the contacts.apk) ! Might try porting it soon, but hoping someone will do it sooner

i managed to get it working by doing a quick and fugly port of it.
Can post the files once i get back home from work.
didnt bother with the framework though since i didnt like it very much.
got it to work on kalis CM6 rc1 port.
if ya want the framework files lemme know

[Q] CM6.0, Nightly builds or CM6.1?

Hello
I was thinking to switch from stock rom to a CM rom, but first I'd like to have some infos on it.
- first of all, which version: CM6.0, nightly or wait for 6.1?
- will I lose data (wipe) when upgrading from 6.0/nightly to 6.1?
- which is the default CM dialer? can I just install HTC apk or it's sense dependant?
- can I just remove apks from the rom ZIP (thinking of replacing ADW launcher with launcher pro)?
Thanks for answers

I'm also replacing the AWDLauncher with launcherpro. Most simple thing to do is install the zip and then remove AWDLauncher. For the upgrade from CM6.0 (like azure) to CM6.1 you should wipe. I didn't wipe between nightly versions and most seemed to work nicely but when I needed to transfer lots of data over google calender it started to get funky. You should always wipe just to be sure.

Wait
And read whole azure thread

Search button is your best friend then. My advice, read up before you commit a change. And if you've been on stock rom all this while, just wait for official 6.1 release.

Any info on how to do it via the recovery (HTC Legend)? I'm not really sure on how to remove the files and which files to remove :/

Azure installed.
Better than what expecting, and it nice to see that I could set a black skin for the notification bar

I recommend Cyanogen ROMs. By far my favorite. I used them on my Magic and not on my Glacier.

You might lose root if you go back. Iced Glacier ROM is about the same as the stock ROM without all the TMo stuff. You might like it if you are already rooted.
Hope this helps

if you are wanting the MySense back, all you have to do is download the file, store the MySense Nandroid backup on your SD card and flash it. You do not have to do everything else mentioned.

Oh ok what file would that be under and do I have to go to file manager or rom manger?

Edit#1:
DANG IT ! ! !
The Unlockr changed their "un root method", now they are telling people to do it via the PD15IMG variation.
Let me see if i still have the BONE STOCK Nandroid file they had @ home. I don't think i have it with me.
If i have it i'll upload it to my google docs and PM you the link for it. I don't want 9.2Million People accessing it.
If you cannot find the stock nandroid back up somewhere then you will have to do the pd15img restore and start from scratch.
Edit#2: I do have it, and i am uploading to my Google Docs as we speak, i'll shoot you a PM with instructions.

Droid X - Default

OK guys first off: This is my first android device, and I want it to be as fast as possible.
This being said, I just want either a DEFAULT Froyo 2.2 or default gingerbread 2.3 which means none of these stupid themes that motorola puts on it. Now here is why I'm here:
Is there a way without having to go through like 20 different steps in order to get the default android skin on my phone? I've jailbroken many a iphone but this android stuff is very new to me, so I was also wondering if there is an IRC channel I can go to or if someone would be nice enough to either guide me through or pm me through how to root my new phone?
thanks,
mike

I have been reading the stickies, I've also been reading about the roms and themes but there is some lingo in those posts as well as concerns.
For instance for the themes I've read several posts where it says to just load the themes on a rooted device, and yet others like the wiki here which says that specific themes are for specific ROMS.
Another problem with the stickies is I have no clue when someone last updated them, because some like the one for "Easy Root" or "z4root" MUST be old cause you can not find that app on the android Market place.
I just want to make sure that I'm getting the latest programs and such. I also wrote this because the one thing that me as well as a lot of other people want which is: Default Froyo. I dont want a custom theme, I want stock Froyo in all it's glory! Can anyone tell me of an easy to install ROM or easy to install theme that has this??
P.S. If there is an IRC channel for XDA could someone tell me about it? Cause I cant seem to find it at all

I have read most of that, and I get the first post, but then you seem to completely back track on the second one. I want the default Android skin from google on my droidx, so When you first said root I understood; but then you all of a sudden said that I need to deodex it as well.
This is the confusing part since you say in your post that it already included the root as well. So which should I do? root > bootstrapper > deodex? or just deodex then bootstrapper?

You have to be rooted, then flash the deodexed stock rom in recovery mode (hence the boot strapper). From there you can theme to your hearts content and even change the font if you wish.

Just because an app isn't on the market doesn't mean that it's old and no longer useful. And there are a million guides on how to do this. Just find a recent one and go for it

Alright I've done some more reading on different sites like engagdet and there seems to be a legal program called "LauncherPro" Apparently you can reskin with this program, Has anybody used this program? and if so how good / bad is it for removing blur?
My main concern is rooting my phone as well as getting rid of BLUR cause I believe that will slow it down considerably. thanks!

Unfortunately, launcherpro doesn't remove or replace blur, nor does it change things like the notification bar or lockscreen. Its a launcher app, meaning that it runs over blur, replaces the homescreens and launcher buttons. It's great for what it does but for your purposes won't work.
Honestly, I think the best route for you would be to take the time to root and flash a blurless rom like liberty or fission.

flyingpenguin is right.
Liberty is Blurless and you an install a Gingerbread theme on it straight from it's Liberty Toolbox app!
Check out my set up... I have Liberty 1.5 with the Gingerbread Blue theme and ADW Launcher EX.

What about the themes we were talking about earlier? Are those only available AFTER you flash to a ROM? Or are those just available after the deodexing? If so wouldn't that be the best and easiest way to get the stock froyo theme on my phone? or is that like launcherpro in that it just launches the theme over blur?
Also, I've seen your attachments and to be honest I don't like the look of it one bit, I just want a rom with stock froyo or even better stock Gingerbread.
Is there a rom out there with either of those stock? I should be getting my new droid x in the mail by next monday, at which time I'll probably be asking for more help, since I don't want my phone to brick the first day of use lol.

I used the z4 root on my dx. It took a couple of tries but it worked. I went with liberty 1.5 as my first custom rom and I love it. There are plenty of plain roms out there you can try. I just wanted something with a little more umph. Good luck!
Sent from my Droid X running Liberty 1.5 custom using xda premium app

well does liberty 1.5 come with the stock froyo skin? or is there a Gingerbread rom already out for the DX?

Liberty comes with a froyo-ish skin. There isn't a GB ROM out for the X yet, but droid2169 (same dev who does Rubix) is working on getting GB to boot on the Dx. He's getting close on it, but there are still some bugs to be worked out. Had some issues with USB mounting last time I checked with him.

The closest you are going to get to vanilla android is either focused or fission

What is this Vanilla thing you are talking about? Is that the name of a ROM that has default froyo / gingerbread them on it?
Also, I don't know if someone already answered this, but the themse people were talking about before: Are they available right after deodexing? Or do I Nhave to install a specific rom THEN theme my phone?

Vanilla means original android experience or as close to it as the kernel allows. That's how I understand it.
Sent from my Droid X running Liberty 1.5 custom using xda premium app

oohh ok

If you want to theme the stock rom you have to deodex your phone and then load theme... if you want to theme a rom you need to load the rom (which are already deodexed) then load the theme.... themes are rom specific ie an apex rom is meant for apex and a liberty theme is meant for liberty... there's guides all over the internet for any method you choose

I'm on nfinitefx45's Leak Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082793) and after reading some of the other comments on the Lockscreens page they say it doesn't work on the Sprint leak on the Evo either.....I wonder why it doesn't work on the Sprint release.....weird

On Mik's GB and it worked after I turned on the stock Android lockscreen in display settings, backed out and locked, unlocked, then went back to display settings and unchecked.

Thats basically what my way does just without using a root explorer.....I was already in Titanium Backup restoring all my files and figured I would give it a shot....that way is most likely faster and easier to do tho....
