Hey everyone!
Just caught wind of unlocking / rooting etc, within 2 days I have rooted and flashed a custom rom twice! (getting a massive bug for it)...
I have a couple of quick questions if any one would be kind enough to answer.
I currently have Funzy Runnymede (RCmix 4.2.11) installed and I am looking to change the boot animation and splash screen and also shut down screen. I have searched with regards to going through ES and using the zip file being added to system - source however it does not work, I am thinking this is due to it being a custom ROM. How would I find out were to put the zip file?
Also I have seen some very cool killer driods / electrified driods for wallpapers and cannot find them anywhere.. checked market and a few links within xda.
Sorry for the long post and I look forward to your responses.
Many Thanks
Mick
Hi Mick,
I assume you have asked or looked through the rom thread and the Desire HD Themes and Apps section for ideas?
I can't answer your question directly I'm afraid but I gave you your first thanks to make you feel at home.
Thanks Grant!
Yes looked through Rom thread but cannot ask due too not having privelages!
Many thanks for the thankyou, not sure where/how to return the favour?
Anyone else running runny, maybe help me out?

hi m8, i use ultimate multi tool for changing splash & bootanimation, have had no probs using this so far, search forum for this also plenty of bootanimation/ splash zip on this forum.
Be careful when flashing boot screens mate I messed about with a couple before and ended up getti.g boot loops !!! :-( I'm pretty new to the flashing game too I've been using virtuous unity roms they recently done a 3.5 Rom called affinity its fantastic smooth as silk that's based on runny' ;-)

Hey folks,
I posted this in the Q&A forum with no luck so I figured I would try here.
I have a friend that would like a pink theme for her desire. I have installed Oxygen 2.0 on her desire and she was wondering if I could find a pink theme. I have googled and looked all over but can't seem to find anything.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
I have been looking for the same thing for days now.
Would be very grateful if anyone out there was feeling up to helping us find or design one.
I have tried a few times to get my head around the developer stuff but as soon as i get past changing directories i get lost :s

You have two options. First LauncherPro doesn't support themes
* Install ADW Launcher and this theme Pink ADW Theme
(or)
* Flash MIUI ROM and you will have varity of themes (one I could find is from another forum Pink-Pheonix Theme
I feel sheepish
Thank you for quick and easy fix. You're a gem.
Hey everybody,
I'm new to this forum and this is my very first post. What I wanted to ask is if it is somehow possible to enable App2Sd in the original stock ROM. I already rooted the phone but do not like the idea of flashing an recovery mod and afterwards an custom ROM. Also I googled a quite a lot and found some articles where some opinions like editing the "init.rc"-file were mentioned - but they didn't explained it any further. Another one said something like setting a symlink to the ext3-partioned sd card...
One of this articles is taken from this forum: Here
I would be really happy if somedbody could help me!
Thanks in advance!

Haha, htc hardware is quite superior comparing to samsuck. There are no lag to be "fixed" to begin with.
You will need to root it to run custom boot animations.

First you need root some kind of file manager. I use root explorer. Then you download the bootanimation you want. If its not already named bootanimation.zip, rename to that.
If you're using an asop rom like cm7 the bootanimation will be located in system/media, if you're using a sense rom the bootanimation will be located in system/customize/resource. All you do is copy the bootanimation you downloaded and paste it in the correctsponding place depending on the rom you're using. Make sure you switch the permission to r/w before pasting. In root explorer the r/w r/o button is on top.

This is by far the best ROM for the MT4G
thank you very much that helped. and i was in turn over thinking it. but now im off to trying to make bootanimations. and do u have a skype? id like to be able to actually talk to some one instead of just brain boggling my self all the time. im kinda new to android but i do know how to use a computer extremely well. but if ud like to skype message me and ill send u my stuff.
I recently picked up a used, rooted TF101 and I am loving it. The rom on it was a fairly unstable release of ICS and I quickly changed it to Rev.HD and it works great.
But, the previous rom had the ability to add a couple of programs to the unlock circle as well as the ability to hold the power button and reboot, reboot into recovery and power down the unit. These functions are not built into Rev. HD unless I am missing something, and that is possible. The other odd thing happens in Google Play, I do not see the whats new section for any of the apps that want to update. I could be missing something, have been using, rooting and roming my Motorola Droids for years, but ICS is a little different.
Thanks Matt
Well I can awnser your first question and indeed there is no advance power menu.
and second, I don't understand your question.
and 3, this topic is totaly wrong.
3a. if you post questions do that in the question forum
3b. this could be posted in the ARHD topic.
Please follow up these comments...

I am new to this site, the banner for the general section was subtitled with "Q&A". If there is a section that is for ARHD and not for development I would be happy to post there, but I have not been here long enough to hit 10 posts so I could not post in the development section.
I will try to explain my last question better... On my phones, in GPlay, when I choose one of my installed apps to update I get several panes. One of the is titled "What's New" and it lists changes in the current version. I do not ever see this pane in ICS GPlay and I really like to review this info. On the tablet when I choose an app to upgrade it goes straight to the "accept and download" pane.
Am I doing something wrong?
You were probably on a cm9 based rom which would explain the power menu with reboot to recovery and such. Megatron is probably closer to what you are looking for.
TF101 Megatron 1.0.4 Guevor test 19.2
The first ROM you had was probably a custom ROM also.
There's two ROM i know that you can customized the lock ring to add apps. AOKP and Team EOS and both those had Power button menu.
The Play Store work a little different on tablet vs phone.
When you see an app with update avaiable, you'll see a panel with teh usual "Open, Update or Uninstall" option.
Click on the app's icon, it will take you to a page with "What's New" ect.
First of all thanks to mike1986 for his work on this ROM.
I bought the Transformer rooted and with REVOLUTION HD ROM installed (don't remember the version 2.... ). After this i updated to 3.2.1 ROM and ALL was perfect. No errors, no random reboots no incompatibility with any app that i needed.
Since I was so confident with this ROM and the quality, I decided to upgrade to the last version (3.4.2) last night. All went ok, booted to lock menu and started to continously reboot. After litle observing I disabled the Wi-Fi and no more reboots. So i started to uninstall all apps related to wi-fi that I had installed in previous ROM (Wi-Fi manager, widget, Auto airplane mode). Than again I enabled the Wi-Fi via setings menu and the reboots returned.
Now i have the transformer with ROM 3.4.2 but no Wi-Fi!!! since it is not a 3G model, this puts me in a very frustrating situation .
Does anybody know how can i solve this matter or please post a link to REVOLUTION HD ROM version 3.2.1!
Many thanks to all and I hope someone can help me with this.
Solved my wi-fi problem
What can I say.... some digging in this forum and one solution was found . Even if the original post say you should not wipe if you are coming from dev's own ROM, actualy you should wipe. I just did that and installed again ROM 3.4.2.
Now all is working as it should!
Thanks again for this to all involved
Other tips. Look for an app here at XDA although I'm not sure if it was a transformer subforum or not called Reboot to Recovery. A shortcut to it on your home screen will give you the ability to reboot to recovery of the ROM you're using didn't offer that.

Thank you for this info. i'm stable and happy with ROM 3.4.2. for my next update i'll keep this in mind.
When I first started playing with custom roms, ARHD 3.4.2 was definitely my favorite. It has a very stock feel to it with many optimizations.
But when when I developed a better understanding of recovery and flashing roms, I switched to AOKP and its derivatives. They offer you a lot more customization options. I'm currently running Steel Droid v2 with the Harmony rev3 kernel.
Make sure to make a nandroid backup and use an app like titanium backup to keep everything safe and then experiment and find what's best for you.
ARHD is great, but I like Steel Droid sooooo much more!
