I would like to know if any of the guys are working on themes for Haykuro's Modded FW? Thank you.
I've been trying to make my own Gloss Suite... but it just came back as "(Bad)" when I tried to flash it.
It's the only thing holding me back from 5.01G.
My G1 is naked without a theme! LOL.
Manup has ported over his moondust theme for build G, looks amazing check it out.
hey
thank you guys.. and I hope you can make your theme work.
Hello All,
as you can see from the title im a no0b ad Rooting the CDMA, while i have rooted and updated the ROM, i had a few questions the first rom that i have Found was the Fresh 1.1 Rom, I have since found the modaco ROM,
is there any major difference,
Also I cant seem to Update the Themes VIA "update.Zip" as it freezes so im assuming the themes i find are for different ROM builds.
Anyone that can toss me into the right Direction would greatly be thanked

you need to be really carefull where you are getting the themes from if you mess up and flash something for a GSM hero onto your phone it will brick it. I dont know where you are getting them from but I would make sure you stay in this sub forum untill you really have a grip on whats going on.
and if you are getting them from this forum then they may not be made for the rom that you are using.
do a search for metamorph its the easiest way to theme your phone if your new.

they are both great ROMs but my personal tase goes to the Fresh ROMs I think more than anything it comes down to 2 things
1: I like the rosie in Fresh compared to the stock one in MoDaCo
2: I like the fact that Flipz has removed a lot of the bloatware thats in the stock ROm where the MoDaCo ROM leaves everything in there along with adding some programs in. the only things I pushed back to Fresh where peep, IM, Sprint TV, and location service.
on top of that I have now added MoDaCo's custom kernel 1.1 and things seem much faster but who knows could be the placibo effect. and I have moded a lot of the fresh APKs. Changing the Dialer Changing the icons to the 2.1 icons added one of Noj's lockscreens and so on and so forth so I have really personalized Fresh Rom and its kinda hard to move away from that.
How do I use the stock epic dialer on Viper ROM? I don't really like the black theme and was just wondering if I could revert just the dialer?
Thanks

Greetings all I'm brand new to the community..
I would love to see more themed dialers, in addition to the above requests. I did a good 30 minutes of searching through various posts as well.. Only to find two specific threads regarding dialers
By: idkwhothatis123 and jbadboy2007
One spoke of FC with some contacts button or something..
The other threads mentioning themed dialers led me to believe there would be more..
I'm either missing something. or I'm missing something??
Might any body point me in the right direction of were I could check out some themed dialers? Purtty please?
I'm running (this took me 2 days of getting my hands dirty!!!)
Epic: running Viper Trinity 3.03 and..... MY GPS works!!!!!!!!(20 hours and every version of firmware to get it that way.. )
But no I'm all warmed up and ready to go.. LOL..
Regarding a themed dialer.. I'm not just making a noob request.. I'm made the decision to start learning how to develop. Yay for me.. ( I have a programming bg and am excited to get started.. )
I'd love to replace the trinity dialer though in the mean time.. Jeeze Goat.. talk much?
Thanks all
I'm not sure which build that version of viper is on, but ideally, u could download any compatible theme. Then download the acs deodexed dk28 ROM. the dialer, alone is system/app/phone.apk.
What i would do is, open both theme and acs rom with 7zip (on computer), then drag the phone.apk into the theme folder.. then save, copy to sdcard, and flash normally.
Dialer
Thanks man for the quick reply..
I'm running SPH-D700-DK28-Extended-D
I believe that should suffice. Don't know what deoxed means yet. but I think my version is "deoxed"..?
So what I'm gathering is I can just grab any compatible theme copy it's phone.apk in to the the DK28 build that I'm using.. and re-flash?
That would mean I would then need to reflash the ROM right..
My understanding is that reflashing with a DK28 build will kill the custom ROM(viper)..
I'm having a sneaky suspicion that this should be in the devlopment section.. and now I'm thinking I need to do more homework.. Hmmmm
on another note.. I just d/l Viper Store from market.. they have some custom dialers for dl.. I'll try one of those..
However.. only one of them is available for d/l from my phone as the other 3 require one to use the multiupload link provided.. which strangely enough doesn't work on my(oranyone's?) Epic..
Ahhh so many little issues..
Thanks for you help
Okay, so after seeing some crazy stuff my uncle did with his HTC Galaxy Captivate like making his home screens 3D, or even getting 2.3.3 on his phone, I decided that I would test it out myself. Now I ain't no expert with phone so it took me 3 hrs of research to find out how to root the phone... and I finally did it. Now I want some cool stuff, otherwise it was all a waste.
First off, I need something to make my theme look 3D like the App SPB 3D Theme but I also want my interface(if that's what it is) or to change. For example, I want it to look more like the Nesus S rather then my touch. How do I go about doing this.
Any help would be appreciated..
Regina 3d is cool it will give you that 3d look (check the market) then just look for a nexus s theme for your phone. Hope this helps...

I have tried to use Regina 3D, but there is a huge lag on the screen..
I'm assuming you've only just rooted and nothing else since you didn't specify otherwise, so sorry if this is stuff you already know/did.
First off, flash a custom recovery image. You'll need that in order to make complete backups of the device and to flash new firmwares. If you haven't got one, download ROM Manager from the market, press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and confirm your device. This will install the latest CWM recovery image (right now it's 3.0.2.4)
If you want to get rid of HTC Sense framework and/or get gingerbread (Android 2.3.x), you'll need to flash a custom ROM. Check the threads in Development for that stuff.
Once you've got yourself a shiny new ROM, check out faux123's threads. He's got various kernels for different ROMs, and he provides a lower-voltage version that will perform the same but use less battery.
For customization related stuff, head over to the Themes and Apps section. There's all kinds of resources there for personalizing your phone's look and feel.
Thanks a lot. So I need to flash my ROM by doing the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Then I download a custom ROM and install it using their instructions. Sounds easy enough
I really like and use the CyanogenMod 7.1 made by Endless7 and I am really grateful for his work.
IMHO, it's a lightweight, fast, and was the cleanest ROM prior to attempts to imitate the ICS.
Please do not get me wrong, our MS2 won another life after this ROM, but the latest ones are pretty bad visually.
Why make something that worked so well, visually and functionally in an unfinished-looking thing?
I do not know if it is my sole opinion, but please consider a version without ICS elements.
I have same opinion as you, so I'm using older (the latest without ICS theme) CM7 build and it's working fine.
If I will move to another, it will be MIUI, or CM8 (when it will be REAL ICS based CM, not only theme).
Hi,
Using Theme Chooser and Adw options, you can completely revert the ICS changes, which I have to admit I don't like either.
You can also remove the corresponding apks in the update.zip, and remplace the themed Swype apk with a previous one.
It will require signing the archive again though.

You sure with this "signing"? AFAIR signing is not required, CWM installs unsigned updates from zipfiles.
I know that almost all things changed in CM7 to make it looks like more ICS and less GB can be restored by people with a little knowledge about Android ROMs.
But, for me, the question remains when I found other tweaks that needs a more deep knowledge.
Well, why become a good GB ROM looks like a unfinished ICS and a defective GB?
its just an optical change?! btw, i didnt notice any performance problems.
PS: maybe its just launcher related, i'm using go ex instead of adw.

Only issue I found when reskinning the ICS is that the font colour for notifications is stuck at white. I can live with this, for such a great ROM. I'll admit I do use Go Launcher EX with the ICS theme (or Go Launcher Original) and not issues with performance with the ROM (mild hangs on boot for SU but thats always been there!)
As for Swype, you can copy in the new Swype.apk into /system/app using root explorer, and set the permissions. Then reboot and you will have the swype put back in nicely. Its what I did with Dark Swype.

It's buggy isn't?
The ROM performs very well, it's made for free, but I still hope that someone reconsider to make this great ROM - at least a option of it - as clean as possible, including visually.
White notifications aren't a problem if you have a black background (which the ICS style has), I just use the meizu one which has a hatched/translucent background so its hard to read. I just need to get the time to read up about how to change it (and maybe add a blue overscroll effect) and I'd be done.
I would say this ROM is extremely clean, and visually pleasing, I think the ICS version of the ROM is more pleasing than the initial versions of it (but then again I've been skinning and customising it since it started).
I've actually fixed the white text using the UOT Kitchen, so its not a problem for me anymore.. attached the zip, flashable in clockwork (had to use the recovery from booting out of the rom). It will change a few things such as the bootlogo (sorry its a milestone one, love the old school logo though) as well as some default system menu items.
Maybe you already know it, but tezet has developed his own version of CM7.1 without visual modding.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338183
Endless7 has then merged his project with this one.
The main difference with old ICS (and ICS free) CM7 by Endless7 is that bothe these new ones are based on 2.2.2 UK Milestone2 kernel instead of 2.3.x CH Defy kernel (ported).
Finally, please note that some of the bonus tweaks which were available in the pre-ICS CM7 by Endless7 are not included in tezet's CM7.1 (but are of course included in the new Endless7 ICS one).
I have the same opinion. Was using the pre-ICS CM7 rom til the new Tezets's ROM. Working great, but it don't come with Swype, comes with Android's keyboad. Not a problem to me but some people prefers.
I totally agree with the originator of this thread, I don't understand all that 'buzz' with ICS. For me it is ugly. It's a pity tezet doesn't want to develop his rom anymore, and Endless7 decided to go in ICS direction

This is the main problem I have with the new ROMs; regression to 2.2.2 kernel signals the return of the dreaded multi-touch bug that made gaming impossible.
As I do not like the new ICS theme either, it means I am stuck on the old Endless pre-ICS builds for now. Still, it p*sses over the stock ROMs so I cannae complain.
ohhhhh.... so is that why when I am playing NOVA it sometimes decides to jump continuously until I pause, or the analog stick lock until I let go and re-press eslewhere? I would't call it impossible gaming though challenging at best

you can use tezet cm7. it's pure one. and if you want other features from my mod. you can install the latest patch and it's ics-optional.

Actually I've got the best results this way. Phone becomes better than any stock thing moto could provide. I Needed a few more data & cache wipes than usual, probably because I ran both installations at a time, but it is perfect now.
Just a question, that earlier versions that come with a chinese autocallrecorder, does that worked for sender and receiver (without speakerfone)? In your changelog it was removed some versions ago, I'm not sure where to find it alone, to test if it work with tezet cm7 & Endless7 mod... Thanks for any hint.
Well I'm running tezet + endless last patch and I'm unable to get the "pure gingerbread style". It still has ICS font (which sucks) and the blue battery meter. Any tips to run COMPLETE pure gingerbread like on tezet's?

before you apply the patch, remove endless7/ics folder. so you will be completely free from ics.
Thank you very much endless. Always fast anwers. Btw can I change only the font and the twitter gray font color? I think its just this that are annoying me. Thank you again! Amazing patch!
