[Q] Questions on themes and deodexing

Ok I've managed to get my device rooted and overclocked, I have Bootstrapper and Clockwork Mod. My question is am I deodexed and am I ready for themes now

No, you have three options:
1) Manually deodex your phone
2) Install a Rom that's already been deodexed
3) Download and flash your stock files for deodexed ones

Ok how do I know which themes have been deodexed already and how do I know what apex I have

If you browse the droid x themes and apps section of xda, the theme creator will tell you what has been deodexed or not. I know the 928 blackglass theme is deodexed already but I do not know of many themes that come deodexed. Of you wish to deodex your phone, search google for "xUltimate 2.2 Manually deodex your phone".
As for apex...this is a custom ROM, so this will not be running on yout phone yet, you would have to install it of this is the ROM you wish to run.

I have a feeling that after I deodex I'm still not done ...lol I actually tried loading the DXred theme the other day and it worked ..then I noticed that the dialer button didn't work then it killed my service ...ya think that happened because I was not properly deodexed?

Probably. After you deodex you should be ready for loading up a custom theme. Be sure to read any instructions specific to the theme you apply.

Ah, ok. Xultimate is an application that runs on your computer, not your phone.
If you have your phone rooted, and know how to use the Droid X bootstrap to install .zip files, then download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gvvgnum0uma2huk
Run this with Droid X bootstrap and you will be deodexed, and not need xultimate.

Ok after a lot of research I finally understand the whole thing.....most if the themes I see on line you need a custom ROM to run them which of course I'm running stock therefore I have to choose from the stock ones which is cool. I found a pretty cool one called Executive Red and it's working perfect. Thank you very much for all of your help

No problem. Glad to hear you got where you want to be. I would recommend just doing some research, and when you feel like you're comfortable, try out one of the custom ROMs. I regret not jumping into one a little sooner. They really have a great advantage many times.
Look into themes from Bignadad. He does themes for liberty, rubix, and did one for the original 2.3.15 OTA. Check him out on twitter as well, and you can keep up on what he is working on. I would recommend Bignadad by far, he is in my opinion the most thorough with his themes, and they always look amazing.

I know you didn't think I was finished ....lol ok here we go...since i've rooted seems that I have access to the 3G hot spot I tried connecting to my lap top it appeared to connect but did not work ....any idea?

You have to pay for the hotspot app to work unless you perform another modification such as the one that team black hat released to use it for free.

Ok so even though my lap top sees it and says it's connected they (Verizon )can still block you? And how do I get this mod from team black hat

Yes, it will say its there, but you cannot use it without paying (kinda). There is another mod, where you start the program, then put the plane in airplane mode, then disable airplane mode and it works as if you had subscribed to the service...
or there is the tbh hack.. which they say is unethical, and they don't condone, so please read the whole page before using this... just a disclaimer.

You basically download a .zip and flash it in clockworkmod recovery.

Well, this is pretty basic for now, but I thought I would post it up for you guys so you can root very easily
Features:
root
init.d
insecure (always run adb as root)
How to Install:
Flash with Odin in the PDA slot, no pit, no re-partition

A couple notes:
3e recovery, and it's different than what I've seen before. (No Reinstall pkgs)
The modem on this ROM was mediocre (not as good as JK4), and no HSPA+
I also had apps with widgets installed that mysteriously disappeared from the widget menu.

The recovery is better than stock froyo or eclair. Has install update from sd card which when selected showed every cwm zip I had on my card. Didn't try one though. No disappearing widgets either. I like the modem, loud and nice voice quality. Speed an issue though.

Unrecognized icon.

So, I just bought this phone and the version is 4.3. But it has some weird icons, like, they doesn't belong to this version. What is wrong with this phone? Can I change it back to normal?
The icons that "aren't supposed to be like that" are the phone and messaging ones.
P.S. I just realized that I posted this in the wrong section.

I will assume you have bought a used set. Possibly the previous owner has flashed a custom rom on it.
Maybe you can try download the official rom for your region and flash it with Odin and see if everything goes back to normal.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing, just Google for the instructions.

I also thought it might be a custom rom. And yes, it's an used set, kind of, but the person said it was never used.

You just have MCIC icon visible as previous user set it up for you, using the Jedi powers (because you have to trust him that he did not used the phone at all)

Knox is not installed if that's what you mean.
I think you can say if this phone has a custom rom in the "about device" section, right?

I read the instructions and it seems really easy. I just hope everything goes well.
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda app-developers app

But one question... I don't really know what have they done to this device, is it really safe to do the flash? I remember that I bought a couple of years ago an used phone that I don't remember the model name, and they told me that the phone was rooted, I checked the phone and it didn't have any visible sign of being rooted and I also downloaded an app and indeed the phone wasn't rooted, so I proceed to update the phone, and bam! Motherboard died.
I want to be sure that is really safe so I can proceed to flash it.

I think there is nothing wrong, but try this:
go to System Settings>More
About Device>Status and scroll down
Does it say:
Device status
Official
?
PS: sorry for the big pictures... HD hehe... xd but XDA cant resize it

Yep, it does say official.
And don't worry, the bigger the better, I am kinda blind.

S4, root, NO SimUnlock.

Hi, After using Odin to flash TWRP recovery and Cyanogen CM-11 Snapshot M9, has not been made Sim Unlock. Is this normal, has a solution ?. The phone works perfectly with Vodafone SIM, which is from the original company of the phone, with another no. I appreciate help. Thank you.

uhm... that's the normal behaviour, when the device is sleeping, you turn on the display with every key... at least that's how it's always been with me, with stock 1.48 and axlor v4 and v5
Nonetheless, I'd love to have ONLY the power button to turn the display on, that way it's more difficult for the battery to get drained while the phone is in the pocket
