[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!

Anyone knows how to use aroma installer?

I need a way to use that installer as the updater script of my rom.

Sori if i'm not wrong, aroma give more optional menu such as diff kernel, bootanim, slected app to install..
If u want just to full installation why choose aroma?? That's why creed never want to use aroma.. I know maybe the reason is all work can't installed into device or maybe all work must installed if not will get problm like bootlop or else..
It's only my opinion but i know little part of aroma.

So how ur aroma??

its quite famous outside there but only a little member here are know about aroma installer. if you know how to use it why don't you share us about it savie?I've found that using aroma to install a rom is fun and gives us more freedom when install a rom. you can make a simple guide how to use it to install a rom. well..I doubt if it could be used to install the kernel since our sgy use different method, but maybe we can try to modify it.

1. I don't have capability to write a guide (my bad english) and permission to copy it from author.
2. I think explanation from original thread is enough and just read all thread is enough to know how to use it.
3. Aroma is very interactive installer and many reason the custom rom dev use it or not (see my older post). It's all back to taste and creativity from dev especialy for aroma-config but for updater-script can follow ur guide (kurotsugi-kun)
4. Actually why i ask OP wanna use aroma to know what fitur in his installer and after he answer i just give opinion and openmind. In my personal still want OP create rom with aroma since there's no one custom rom with aroma installer and hope i can help. But i don't see respond from OP now or maybe busy with other work

Well I tried to figure out how aroma works but it compatibility is VERY bad with our galaxy Y. Though it allows us to use touch interface but the installer is unable to recognise the touch's on the phone which leads to wrong calibration. This is dangerous because it can result in bad installation of the rom. I had PM'ed the dev of Aroma but I did not get any reply :/

Same with me thd dev annoy my pm maybe he busy and now he stop the project cz dont have android phone.
It's not dangerous and very compatible with all device ldpi-hdpi and of course working to installing rom and kernel too.
It's all about taste and we work in low-end device so i think we should accept our device weakness like display etc.
For calibration in sgy just try 0.9 15 0.9 15 and for me it's working just change with your taste.

will anyone just give us a tutorial for how to use it....

مفيش رومات عربي ولا ايه

[Solved] Restoring stock kernel via cwm ?

Hello,
First post on xda !
I readed lot of thread about sgy and have made many tests.
I got incredible battery autonomy improvement with the kuro kernel :good:
I will test others kernel to compare
Is there a way to backup the stock kernel and restore it with cwm
In order to test kernels quickly, i searched in many thread but have not found.
Thanks !

Same procedure with install custom kernel..
Extract boot.img from pdaXxx.tar (stock rom from doky thread)
Put in /sdcard/boot.img
Install with mai77 method use SGYbiCWM.zip with cwm-recovery from madteam/skin.
Read 1-10post in basic newbie guide from ronnieryan in sticky general section.
Welcome to xda and try with search and read important thread first before ask or open new thread.

I readed the basic thread but i did not understand about the KernelUpdate.zip
Many thanks it's work now
Unfortunately, i can not install your kernel. I have try flashing directly savieREV1_Kernel.zip but it's block on the boot logo. I also tried to extract the boog.img from the package and flash with KernelUpdate but it's the same thing... I'm back on kuro. (using XXLF3 stock rom)
Not tried the merruk at the moment

KernelUpdate.zip from harrish?
Im not use that to coz to complicated
The simple method is from mai77 coz u not need put boot.img into zip file like faqbly method.
For my kernel just make sure u have sysinit in system/bin and 99complete in system/etc/init.d (those file from draktemor script) before installing.
I never try any custom rom only stock rom and never have problem with my kernel. I never release it if im not sure its working but if its make problem just i word "not compatible"

Ok thanks i have to make more search about the method mai77 and draktemor script, and retry your kernel
I prefer keep the stock rom at the moment... but i'm interresting to test the kernels !

But dont install draktemor-a2sd im affraid u will get problem again if u use my kernel
Just copy paste and change permission..
Theres a lot of kernel now. U can choose, try, and compare which one is more near with ur need.
Kuro v.1.0 or White v.1.0 is the best kernel for stock rom coz its minimalis kernel with little modification so all features near with stock kernel.
Merruk and latest White kernel is advance kernel coz there alot modification so must prepare backup before try (nandroid backup via cwn and stockrom backup via odin)

cwm can't restore kernel. It doesn't have bmlunlock program.

I see that the bmlunkock is in the KernelUpdate.zip.
I have found this mai77 method here
It's work fine to restore a stock rom boot.img
I don't find mai77 method without the KernelUpdate but i keep the searchs !
kurotsugi i have tested your kernel some days it's work very well !

haha...my kernel isn't as good as savie's. In most aspect his kernel is better and he's more well versed in kernel development.

I do more read and search and re-test it !
P.S. : the captcha are hard :cyclops:

Ah ok you include the bmlunkock in your kernel.zip

After many tentatives failed to install savie's kernel :crying:
I tried the white 0.8.0 RC3 with success and very easily and work very fine
please can someone give a way to install savie's kernel step by step and give links necessary
i haeve made
- The start step a fresh XXLF3 stock rom flashed
- I'm not afraid do reflash a stock rom, i have already done many times.
- I'm not afraid about data, i have the kies backup of my contacts, the sql lite contacts2.db from /data, the only thing i want to keep is this but i think it's done, don't care
Thanks all !

Finally I succeeded install the savie kernel :laugh:

Great's I will try it

- My first mistake was to not read enough the savie thread and links associated.
- My second mistake i tried in first step to install Bacem and GovIO Tweak before the kernel... But the kernel already integrated this.
- Savie should add this on the first post of the thread please !
savie said:
I dont have creeds so i dont know its work or not..
Manual method In stock rom
- create init.d folder /system/etc/init.d
- copy 99complete to system/etc/init.d
- copy sysinit to system/bin
Ps.those file from draktemor-script
- install kernel
Maybe that step can use in creeds too..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- And maybe give the link to the draktemor-script in the repencis thread... here (a2sd.zip)
It's very good kernel :laugh:
Now i will try the dual boot and test CM7 but i read more before !

but don't install the draktemor-script
Just extract and copy this files :
- before create init.d folder /system/etc/init.d (stock rom and stock kernel without init.d support)
- copy 99complete to system/etc/init.d
- copy sysinit to system/bin
- fix the permissions
savie add this in your 1 post thread may make som noobs happy

[Q] Spontaneous reboots

Can some one give some info on how i can determine where the spontaneous reboots come from on my phone. Of it a software or hardware related problem is? I already tryed another firmware with odin. But it still happens on ocassion.

Try using a different kernel
The two that work with all roms here are
Whitexp 1.1.3
Hells fusion #63
Both you will need to flash whitexp wifi driver after
Also make sure you have no scripts in etc/init.d folder that are causing problems if you have flashed any mods eg adrenaline engine

Just use hells fusion #50 - will be much easier and there is no extra benefit using merruk
Just flash the kernel zip for hells fusion #50 in CWM with system mounted and in the aroma installer that will load select step 2 to flash hells fusion
Please note that all instructions should be on the op of the threads - please take time to read it
