Galaxy S theme - need someone that can understand German :|

I found this awesome theme at android-hilfe: http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-...-theme-samsung-galaxy-s-jetzt-verfuegbar.html
But I can't figure out how to install it. Can anyone that can read German make a simple how to?
Thanks!

the easiest way is using recovery , do u have it?

Yeah, I have Got's OpenRecovery on my sdcard. Or you mean adbrecovery? Not sure it will work on my firmware version though

there are 2 installation tutorials.
i can translate for you if you tell me wich one i should select.
the first is a tutorial from -FuFu-,
the second one is from eybee1970, it describes the Apps2SD methode, whatever that means...

Hey tarnaman, can you translate the easiest one. And do these instructions work for any theme or just this one?

There is a apk file for the touchwiz launcher. If you google it you should find it, it's much easier

You can now Root your Sony Ericsson X10 and Sony Ericsson X10 mini with one click. All you have to do is to download this free application from our forums Android app section and the one-click installer will do all the work for you!

I rooted my X10a using that app yesterday. Install the apk from that link and run it. It installed one other app (superUser Permission). All I did is click on Root button. I didn't even have to restart the phone.
Then to check if it really rooted I went to Market and downloaded and installed "Titanium Backup". The installation had problem that said somethink like it needs busybox #@(#@(#. It asked if I want to download it. I choose yes and the backup now works.
Soon I will be removing some of the SE crap that came with the phone.

They've been trying it since at least 3 days ago...
<CALL FOR STICKY>painless root for x10 in 5 seconds (TESTED ON MY X10i)
...then someone else yesterday thought they'd start another thread...
Root you x10 with one click with this app!! :0)
...so why the need for a third on the subject is beyond me.

Also when i extract the file posted in this thread i get error, But no probs when i use the original thread file.

Update.zip signing

Dear Members, first of all hello to all..
I'm trying to create a update.zip file that removes the default applications that samsung puts on Samsung S and installs one or two more.
But I'm having a problem with the signing of update.zip
I have the struture:
system\app\xpto.apk
META-INF\com\google\android\update-script
and now I know I have to sign it but I dont seem to find a working tutorial, I've read some with signapk.jar and others without it...
Can someone plz point me in the right direction so that I can accomplish it?
Thanks

It's not meant to be an apk that you install onto the phone.
(1) Download the file onto your PC and unzip it.
(2) Enable USB Debugging mode on your phone.
(3) Connect the phone to your PC.
(4) Click on the "SuperOneClick" file in the unzipped folder.
(5) Click on the "Root" button.
(6) Wait until it says that root is successful.
(7) Unplug your phone from the PC and manually reboot it.
(8) Your phone is unrooted!

thanks, I will get a laptop from my work this evening and try.
So (yes I am a noob) should I downloading this file on the phone or on the computer??

You should be downloading it to a PC and running it from there.
Oh, I forgot to add that you need to reboot your phone manually before it is detected to be rooted.

okay;
thank you

If you already downloaded it on your g2, the apk file should be in data/app
You need a Root explorer like 'ES File Explorer' for it to acces the map.
Or isnt that your question?

As XDA Forum Rules specifially state "Don't get us in trouble.", please refrain from posting such that would violate any Terms of Service. Link removed.
Also let me remind you that XDA does not promote the use of Warez so if it is the intent of the OP to reproduce paid APK's by asking this info, you may want to go elsewhere.
Thank you.

My apologies TRM. I was at work when I saw that and didn't get to read up on it. Thank you for removing the link.

Exactly why I didn't realy want to use it.
I got es file explorer and went into /system/app directory but it only shows the stock apks. It doesn't show the downloaded apks from the market... all the settings are enabled for root visibility... what am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk

Afaik I don't think you can just grab them. There are means of obtaining the apk files which I won't talk about, and don't PM me about it. Now, if you want those said apks for backup purposes, just install titanium backup.
Sent from my ghdudsjihfr using dhhcdfhuf.

I use a certain app from market that allows you to pull the APK of an already installed app so you can sideload on another device. My particluar use is taking apps that aren't available for my tablet from my phone and transfering it over (Tiny Tower, Contacts, etc...)
