Without knowing what rom you have on your phone, i wouldnt even know where to start answering.

What he said^^^^, and also depending on the mod the method can vary. Some you can flash through recovery, some you can do through terminal, others you need to use adb. Usually some form of instructions will be on the post you got the Mod from though.

[Q] How to install themes and kernels

How to install themes and kernels in G3. Can someone make a video Please.
Sorry if this might come off as rude, but why would somebody make a video for you? Why would somebody do that, if you (obviously) weren't willing to look for the info yourself? Go to the themes section, you are bound to find info on changing themes, go to the development section and open a custom kernel thread, you are bound to find info on flashing kernels.

go to the theme sections for more details..!!
you need your phone to be rooted to install themes..!!
many themes have different requirement and procedure.!!
generally you are required to replace the framework_res and tw_framework files in system/framework folder using root explorer..
you can also try the one click theme changer and g3 theme changer apps!!
more info in the themes sections.!!
you can install kernals by flashing them via odin!!!
more info in development section!!!!
you can always refer this link too!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583
this is there in stubborn_donkey's signature!!
and always try to search in the sections for your answer.. if you still dont get any then you post a new thread..!!!
Thanks guys for the reply. If there was a video it would be nice. I tried to install theme by using cmw and install zip from sd card, then my phone restarts and gets stuck in that and i have to flash the os again.
to install a theme just use this
to install a kernel download the kernel whta you want and flash it with odin, normaly it comes in a tar file including a zImage inside

That was not the right way. U need to download a theme and replace the respective files
Acid lestitious 2.0. Fugumod 2.2
It's quite simple.
1. Kernels come in .tar packages, and you need only to flash them on your phone with ODIN as one package. They will overwrite your current kernel.
2. Themes come in .apk files. You should put them in /system/framework/
For that, I use adb (android shell).
But if you asked that question, you probably have an odexed rom, which makes it nearly impossible to use themes, so read around on the forums first!

I have made this thread exclusively for Q and A on Galaxy 3. If you have some doubts, questions or need some help just mention it in this thread.

Please see that Cyanogen Mod is currently in Alpha stage and some modules are not working.
If you want to install it any way for testing purpose follow the link below then you download the ZIP File. After download completes extract the zip to obtain a TAR file. Fire up ODIN and Select the OPS as you and Flash as one package with the TAR image. After phone flashes up and boot. Wipe Data and Cache from the Recovery and reboot. You would be able to use CM7 Alpha5 Fix1.
Please See- You cant install CM7 without flashing and also see that you have a backup of your whole phone. Use titanium backup from market.
CM7 Download link- http://www.multiupload.com/Y3GTH2QN56
If you dont know how to flash please inform i will help you with the links.
If your problem is still not solved. Kindly quote my answer and tell me.

I think it is not available on Samfirmware. I think we have to obtain from ROM Image of XXJPS.
I will help you out after searching.
I have one more problem with G3. It's vibration is very soft/gentle.
My old Samsung SGH-E900 had vibration like PlayStation's controller (very strong).
I know that using more battery but I want more power in vibration. Is it possible?
Vibration pattern doesn't help me.
Sorry for my poor english

You can t until you disable data2sd. And how do your widgets disappear?? The app or the widget will be in SD-ext partition. Which is not detected by windows.

Quote Wikipedia, "BusyBox provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable. It runs on top of the Linux kernel just as does Gnu/Linux. It is ideally suited to run in embedded devices. It has been self-dubbed "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux".".
Basically it is a tool which allows you to perform certain functions.
Eg : - Changing permissions.

Well Cyanogen Mod is still in alpha stage as the title suggests. And the camera driver is still not functional. It will be fuctional in the final build.

Would this be correct.

Would this be correct..?
If I take a 3.2 rooted rom and download it, can I take out all the apps I don't want and reflash without the bloat.
Also what compilers are being used for mods. Thanks

Correct, but watch what you rip out of the ROM, some apks are required by Android to run correctly.
Mods need no compilers that I'm aware of (if we're using the same definition of mods).
You can do all your modifications within the Rom itself simply by opening (not extracting) the ROM with WinRar on a PC.
Thanks, worked like a charm. Just tried with two apps first and worked fine. I looked at your roms and can I remove some of the same junk that you removed doing what you said? Thanks and later on.
