Hello all. I have been using the various android builds for the past few weeks, and much respect to all the developers.
I have been unable to find a central guide how to apply themes on our HD2 android. However, through some trial and error, I have been able finally apply a theme in a relatively straightforward way, without using terminal or coding or whatnot.
Note, this was a themeing attempt on a cyanogenmod build (there are several out there).
Please feel free to add-on or modify or share your comments. Let's help each other enjoy our phones!
------------------------------------
You need to have AndroidSDK installed, as well as droid explorer. Make sure adb process is running; I believe when you install androidsdk, this will start automatically.
Fire up your android build, and connect via usb to your computer.
Run droid explorer, and your list of directories should show up. Now, open the folder of your dark cherry theme. In the "framework" folder you should see framework-res.apk. Drag this file into droid explorer under /system/framework on your android. This will change the theme, and you need to reboot (from the phone, not from droid explorer).
If you want the keyboard and other apps skinned, you can copy the .apk files from the app folder (in your dark cherry folder), and drag them to /system/apps on your android (via droid explorer). Now reboot again (from phone, not from droid explorer).
This is what worked for me 99%. The only issues I noticed was that zedge would keep asking me to upgrade whenever i rebooted. Minor issue really, but otherwise, the theme worked fine, as did the keyboard and all.
* Remember, when you download the theme from the website, make sure it is compatible with your cyanogen build. I was using bangster's build, based of cyanogen 6.0.1. So on the theme website, I downloaded the build under nexus one cyanogen 6.0.1.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
-----------------
I found androidSDK on the web, and there are also web guides on how to install. I am using Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop. My phone had vbn's clarity rc1 droid rom. My android build was bangster's 1.3.
Thanks for the guide maqsur,
but a couple of questions:
Could you please link the site where you got the themes from?
Does it have to be 6.0.1, because I only see 6.0.0 themes for nexus one :S (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5977-theme-full-desire-cyanogenmod-600-final-90210-fixed/)
The dark cherry theme that is in the "screenshot" thread is from a site by its creator, and it had a link to 6.0.1. I am also using google to search for "cm6 final themes." I just downloaded a "Black and Bold" theme from droid forums. It's all experimentation at this point, because dark cherry was the first one i ever tried.
I believe most of the newer builds for our HD2 are based on cyanogenmod final 6 (cm6). So I believe if you look for themes like that, you should be okay. I am still trying new ones, and will post screen shots when I can take them.
A note: depending on your build, read the original post for that particular thread, and confirm which rom the cyanogen is based on (nexus one, evo, etc.), because themes that are out there are based on phone models as well as mod versions.

ODIN 1 CLICK TO STOCK JF6 BEFORE FLASHING 2.0[/B
Added updated flashable zip to bottom of post which includes some theme updates, apk updates and themes, and some window animations. This post will be hopefully be updated tomorrow with a newer version, and this clockwork flashable .zip should hold off those who waiting on the rom update.
first boot will take a bit.
This is a brand new rom ive been working on for the last few days. Based on newest i9000 froyo release UGJK3 (build date 11/18) and tweaked from there.
-SetiroN 1.5 kernel -user configurable OC up to 1460/default is 1200(go to 1400's at your own risk
-haptic feedback works on ALL buttons
-OC/UV support-voltage control app installed to /data/app
-BLN added and required lights.so lib added to /data/app
-apps and framework deodexed and optimized
-zipaligned
-rooted, busybox and sqlite included
-extended power controls(reboot, recovery, download)
-Captivate dialer, camera, etc. (no video chat references)
-Completely themed with pieces from all of my favorite themes(pics of theme seen HERE
-Fixed build.prop so protected apps can be seen on the market
-Big APN file for instant inernet/mms access
-ad-blocking
-AOSP themed lockscreen
-HSUPA enabled -comes with UGJK3 modem(no need to do anything crazy to get 850 working-this modem works as is)
-this rom will not switch back and forth between H and 3g, the symbol should stay on 3g even if hsupa is enabled and working
-comes with SWYPE, dark Droid X multitouch keyboard, and samsung keyboard
-Launcher Pro and TWlauncher included in /system/app
it seems like Samsung took some advice from gtg with the twlauncher(never seen the stock launcher this fast or smooth)
-removed some junk apps
-added
voltage control 2.0
cyanogen MMS (switch background color-white/black)
updated maps and youtube
flash player will auto-install
Starting with v3.0, d1g1talphyre will be helping with all future versions of the rom. Im going to be extremely busy is in the upcoming weeks so this will help me get 3.0 out faster to you guys.
3.0 changelog-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9876005&postcount=597
3.0.1-only difference is the power menu fix. there is a .zip for those who have 3.0 already around page 76 or so.
here is a link to a circle batt mod made by d1g1talphyre. this framework-res.apk will only change the circle batt and thats it. rest of the theme is the same.

-all window animations added except for bounce-credit to [email protected]
probably some more small things that i forget right now.
When you apply your lagfix, choose option one when prompted "backup AND restore"
Install Instructions:
as always, its best to flash to stock JF6 with the odin one click downloader.
copy this rom to your internal sd card, and after flashing stock. flash this through Clockwork Recovery. thats it. no need to do anything with the jg8 modem or anything like that.
on first flash, all=ext4 is enabled by default-if you want to use something else, select go back to recovery then go to the lagfix options and enable whatever you want. when your prompted with the options about backing up, i suggest choosing option 1. this will do a backup and restore so you will not lose any apps(the other options you will lose the apps in /data)

Credit to xcaliberinhand-he made the original kernel for us to be able to use i9000 roms and hsupa modems
Been looking forward to this.
Thanks, I'll try it tonight.
+1
i hadn't planned on it, but it looks like i'll be flashing today
sweet! downloading and flashing @ work, excited to test.
I couldnt apply lag fix right away had to reboot first ... BUT it did tell me my configs changed ???? ... I chose option 1 and noticed it set up like this
ext4
rfs
ext4
false
false
false
false
?????
booting up was about 2 minutes on android logo
reboot to recovery then fix it to no rfs advanced ... ( all jfs )
looking good I previously dropped this rom because of modem giving me issue
will set my stuff and report back if needed .
PS why is the Fm app always in your rom ? do you hope it will work at one point ?
looks great yay launcher pro included
you few that download already, here is a better videoplayer.apk. it doesnt fix the problem, but at least youll be able to view your recorded videos from /sdcard-dcim-camera. still looking at problem and trying to find a fix.
from this point on this video player is included with the rom.(reuploaded)

some people have said if that app is removed it can cause problems. if you dont like it, remove it from /system/app.
first boot will take a while as it zipaligns and deodexes.
and btw this rom has nothing in common with my other di11is darkyy rom except my theme. this is my own base.
Ive been running your darky rom 2.0.1 for a day with the jk3 modem. Downloading now to check out the CM mms. I hope its the one with the notification vibration types like multiple long.

thx bro. was planning on reflashing myself to verify.
My home button didnt work either, not sure about lock screen. Flashing back to stock now.
My home button worked fine. hmmm, also I can confirm the video player.apk in the first post for us couple who downloaded early is letting me play video. But just as stated, can only open it from file manager to view.
great rom so far, its fast. Yes, I did run benchmarks, not that they really matter anymore. can notice the difference in speed when deleting widgets, open anything. It screams, props di11igaf, awesomely quick rom.

just downloaded my own file, reflashed to stock put the downloaded file on my sd and flashed again with no probs. first thing i did though was apply lagfix and when the backup and restore options pop up make sure you choose the first option to backup and restore all data.
let me know if you do reflash this if you have the same problem.

preciate it, will try later. problem probably because i apply lagfix "without backup and restore."
ahh ya i bet thats why. not sure why it really would matter(since the problem your describing would be an android.policy.jar problem) but im gonna try it that way and see if it makes a difference. thats the only thing different that we did though.
also i think if you apply the lagfix that way, any apps in the rom that are in /data/app by default will not be restored-at least this has happened to me in the past and why now i always do a backup and restore.
I did a yes without backup and restore, and the home button ain't workin.
Hi all,
I've an HTC Wildfire with a SD card of 32 GB (class 5 or 6) and I'm trying to find a rom that can satisfy all my needs. I've tried the most common rom for wildfire, but I haven't find yet the rom fit for me
Here a list of my needs:
- Good interactive gallery.
- Good camera app.
- Thethering from wifi.
- Install the apps on the sd card.
Here is what I've recently tested:
CyanogenMod-7 Nightly Builds for vendor Buzz (only release #9):
- Thethering with wifi works fine
- Bad gallery: slow and does not work as expected.
- Bad camera app: pictures quality is less than the HTC camera app.
- No apps on sd: using app2sd, at rebot the applications in sd just disappeared.
I tried darktremor patch and Link2SD app but does not work at all.
CyanogenMod-7 Nightly Builds for vendor Buzz (greater than #9)
Tried some other release and all of them get stuck.
CyanogenMod-7 for HTC Wildfire (Buzz) :: V7.0.0-RC2
Does not work. Really slow and really often get stuck.
DK Custom Froyo V4.3.6 (Froyo 2.2.1) Stable & Smooth
-Nice camera
-Nice gallery
Unfortunately some time get stuck.
WildPuzzleROM_2.2.1 v0.8, New Base, Transparent Lockscreen, LWP in SENSE
Using HDCR jacob kernel.
(the currently I'm using)
-Nice camera
-Nice gallery
-Thethering does not works (all other devices cannot connect), I've tried also with other application.
-Link2SD does not work, darktremor as always give me the same error that cannot copy the dalvik cache.
Please can anyone suggest me a rom that works fine and has all this 4 features.
Thank you really much.
Apps2SD definitely works on WildPuzzle, because, I was using it, and, it worked very well. Probably, you are doing something wrong. There are some guides around here which state how to install it, just search for it. Here's one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12398752&postcount=22
Wi Fi tethering will work if you use the kernel 0055 from the OLD Wildpuzzle thread. Again, Just search for it.
- Quickpic
- Miui Camera (i posted a thread in the app section), Vignette, Camera 360 Pro
- tethering works on cm7 and on wildpuzzle
- darktremor app2sd works on cm7 consistently for me. Which means, you don't know what you're doing, you're just doing it wrong. (have you even tried flashing jacob's 4.1 kernel..?)
I suggest you just stay with a sense rom since aosp gives you so much trouble rolleyes, i'd recommend wildpuzzle or sunaabh.
easiest way to install dtapp2sd
1. flash it
2. boot into recovery and mount system
3. on terminal, cd into your sdk tools folder
4. type adb shell
5. type /system/bin/a2sd reinstall, then it will reboot. then go back to recovery and do /system/bin/a2sd cachesd
or
1. flash it
2. boot into phone
3. open terminal emulator
type 'su', then type a2sd cachesd

apps2sd works fine on cm7. you're doing something wrong. Get nightly #30, its very stable. for the gallery, use quickpic from the market. camera quality is equal to sense roms, only the interface is ugly. you can try the miui camera in the themes and apps section.

I also agreed with nhnt11. If u want a look-a-like like sense, u can use nhnt11's NTSense.

does this system function also with the sunabah?
I've installed the rom sunabah, boot into phone, turn off the phone, flash the dtapp2sd but then the phone does not make the boot (I've seen for about 30 minutes the HTC logo...)
remove the battery, boot into recovery mode and flash another rom (DK)... and it is ok.
Do you know why and the solution?
Hi,
I love Indroid 4:
Please reply to some of my querries.
1.) I have flashed Indroid 4.1, but when i check it in about fone tab it says "Indroid 4.0 Froyo HyperMix". As far as i know, i have be in 4.1 in order to apply update.zip. Please confirm if i am on 4.0 or 4.1.
2.) I flashed fugmod 2.4 alpha kernel for 1% battery mode, but it freezes 2 mins after restart. so I installed 2.2 kernel now its working fine. How can i have 1% battery mode now.
3.) What is the use of changing file syste.
4.) I am able to install themes none of them looks as good as the stock theme, i think many of the user will agree on this. How can I use the full theme (like changed look of phone, message, music player. As we have seen in case of crysis revolution screenshot.)
5.) How can we remove unnecessary apps from Indroid 4.1 which I dont want to use.
6.) In the download link for 4.2, there are many links for different updates, which one should I apply and where is the fix.bat.

A lot of questions i will try to answer
1) I think you still in v 4.0 when properly flash you will have cwm recovery
2) Flash 2.4 beta 3 to get 1% mod
3) File systems ext2, ext4 etc are considered better than most , just read through forums
all have their advantages and disadvantages.
4) Eh... use crysis revolution theme
5) Use titanium backup app to remove
6) First you have to be in v4.1 then copy update.zip to sdcard go to recovery , then select apply update.zip (menu selection use vol up and down)

Hey dear, thanx a lot for the reply. however reading through forums i have already updated to 4.2 and also flashed that 2.4 beta3 kernel and loving the 1% battery mode.
Till now i have not got proper answers for.
Why should i change my file systems. (I mean, i want to do it).
And how to apply a full crysis sensation theme including the apps.
OK I tried to cook up a theme for the Virtuous Unity 1.27 and failed....
When I flashed it I tried too boot and ended up with i/o error....it stuck on boot animation. I tried logcat and got i.o error instead of output...tried to flash room without wiping and got logcat going and got i/o errors so had to wipe it clean.
I am guessing I screwed something up....
I used the virtous ROM 1.27 in the kitchen for the rom....
Edify scripting with MTD as default
Patch 9 autofix
Theme chooser preview (think this might of been the issue)
anyone want to chime in if the theme chooser was the problem or another error tick?
for flashing method (i think its called), select eMMC instead if MTD.
that should definitely work. When ever you use that site for this phone, make sure to select that.
the theme chooser preview option doesn't make a difference, just makes ever theme slightly larger because its another png file in there
I've made a few with UOT Kitchen for the Unity ROM, on 1.26.0 and 1.27.0, and it's worked every time without changing any settings...try uploading the files yourself if nothing works just to see. Weird...

make sure everything is green on summary page and also make sure your uploading all 3 necessary files for gb sense.

Well everything was green.....
I used the built in 1.27 rom...and emmc huh?....I can try that....
If someone wants to look at what I goot and see if they see an obvious problem I could put it on drop box for someone to look at
I can almost guarantee its the emmc thing. i had that same issue. but nothing is for sure..
