dificulty locating themes

greetings all,
i've attempted to search this site and have read the wiki. i saw the sticky on not starting threads until exhausting other options, but i didn't find the answer to my particular question.
i installed teh Tf3d config, but none of the themes i've installed are showing up in the drop down menu under appearance. i've tried relocating them to various spots on my device and storage card, but nothing seems to work. in one tutorial, i read to creat a new folder named Internal Storage/Themes/ but my device would not allow this as a folder name and i've tried slanting the slashes in both directions.
one of the themes was a zipped file, the other was not. the zipped file was DL'd to my PC first, then i extracted the files to my device.
the TF3D config seems to be, otherwise, working fine. i've deleted a tab and rearranged the others.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

for ease of use several people have create cabs out of their themes.. simply install the cab file. look for a thread created my mobile matt (username mchapman) it has several themes and mods in it.

one of the themes i've installed is a cab. however, it does not show up. that's what the problem is.
i guess the title of thread could be a little misleading. i'm not having trouble locating themes to install - tf3d config is having trouble finding them, after i do.
ETA - i searched for the thread you mentioned, but it says "mchapman" is an invalid username
ETA - i've found this instruction to be a little confusing. if somebody could PLEASE give me a little clarity on exactly what they are telling me to do:
- Create the root of internal storage of your HTC Touch Diamond a folder named: Themes
thank you

can someone just explain this one sentence, please.
- Create the root of internal storage of your HTC Touch Diamond a folder named: Themes

Means create a folder named Themes. no sub folder (or folder inside a folder).

is this something that requires a registery editor? i ask because, i've attempted making a folder with that name in several locations then placing the file in it. it still won't show up in the drop down menu.
exactly where do create the folder named "themes"?
thanx

Maybe this will help. If you were to create this folder on your pc instead it would look like this:
C:\themes <- C:\ is your root directory.
so on your phone the folder should appear in the list with windows and program files and document and storage card. It should be \themes NOT something like \Program Files\themes

Modifying a ROM

Hi guys, I was wondering how you would go about personalizing ROMs for your own use. Nothing code-wise, but installed programs and such. Opening up the zip files of downloaded ROMs I see the apk files and the system apk files - is it really as easy as just removing those you don't want and plotting in the ones that you do?

If this rom is from the same board as you, can say so.
But, .. you still need to run a linux terminal the code to sign the package that you previously made with same special files..
Just the search tools and you'll find it!
...You can easily too start porting rom's too...

[Q] How To Build Gapps Files using UpdatezipCreator

Hi all! Have been having a play with UpdatezipCreator for windows. Put all of the .apk files into a folder called:
“System”
As suggested in the UpdatezipCreator wiki. However, when I run the gapps file in clockwork Mod, it completely ignores what I have done. Also, for some reason, it places all files into a directory, one level down and the directory is called whatever I have named the .zip. is this normal or, am I missing some vital step. Would like to get this working as I would like to add missing accessibility components to the gapps file that I am using in order to get ICS talking out of the box with my Sony Xperia Pro. Am also interested in getting this going so that I can assist other visually impaired users with this. Finally, am open to creating gapps files with other methods in Windows. Thanks in advance for all help with this. It’s really appreciated!

[Q] disappeared Lock-Screen Ring & Home

I was playing with System/app/...
after checking some useless apps and removing them, this happened to me .
I am wonder what did i choose by mistake, and what was that?
check attachments for screen shots please.
I am not sure about Fusion.apk
If yes that's the problem, may some one provide a copy for me.
Thanks.
Actually they are there, and i can use them, but not visible.
Desire S
ICS 4.0.4
Sense 3.6

fusion.apk is part of htc sense framework, just open rom zip and copy that file to /system/app and reboot

LooL Thank BTW.

Haven't played with RUU for a very long time. but if I remember correctly, when you run exe it extracts rom zip file to a temp folder somewhere on your c drive, keep it open and do a search you should be able to find the zip.

A good example of why it's a good idea to make a nandroid backup before playing with the system...

Yep, OP just needs to search and read. This is exactly the method we used to get the .zip originally when the ICS RUU was released by HTC.

IDC i always relock - install RUU - unlock - root.
THATS ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE A CLEAR INSTALLATION OF SOME THING RATHER THAN PACK INSTALLATION.

That's really nice if it does some thing like that. i did search in %temp% and %user%/app/data
but no trace .
and i am not sure that you are able to use UniExtractor to extract this new type of protected EXE file.
by using CMD, n does command you would get a pack from that EXE file, included a CAB file which is included all data in,
Is there to open a protected CAB?
usualy windows Cabinet files may extract via Winrar, Cabex, Cabextractor, etc ...

No, there is no problem whether you are rooted or not as you said you need the Fusion.apk - which you just need to pull from the extracted .zip file after the first stage of running the RUU on your PC.
I don't have a problem with you - other than the fact that you seem to want to argue with anyone who gives you advice. You asked for a .apk file - you were suggested to extract it yourself from the RUU and then you decide to argue and find reasons why you can't do it. If you want help then read the answers from knowledgeable people and try what they suggest - otherwise what is the point in asking?
As for my 'Thanks' - who cares? I know less than many of the people on here, and you don't get 'Thanks' in Off-Topic, and I am almost never in OT, and it's none of your damn business why people have thanked me in the past.
You seem to have a real attitude of assuming you have a right to be supported. XDA is not, and never has been, a helpdesk for noobs - you need to get that into your head and deal with it.
Edit on this as I wanted to be sure of what I was saying. If you run the RUU then it will extract various info, including ROM.zip, into a temp folder, but this .zip is only useful as an image to flash from recovery, not to extract individual files from. On that basis, look for one of the ROMs that were based on the official RUU - there was a de-odexed, pre-rooted one released fairly shortly after the RUU - and pull fusion.apk from there.
And don't take your rookie mistake and frustration at yourself out on other members of XDA.

[Q] Multipart Archive File

I would like to create a .ZIP file of a large folder of files (~6 GB). In order to meet the upload requirements of a cloud service I use, the largest a single file can be is 1 GB. So, I need to create a multipart .ZIP file with each part being say, 512 MB.
I have found a few apps that say they can do this. The other requirement I have is that the process has to be either scriptable or automated in some way. That part I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish.
I have Tasker and I'm rooted so I hope there is a way to do this.
Thanks for any pointers, links, app suggestions, etc.

Search RAR in the play store. It might do what you want. Unfortunately it can only be in the .rar format.

Use WinRAR software to create a multipart RAR file and also choose self-extract option while creating part.
There will be one of all parts which is used to extract all parts automatically but you have to place all parts in same folder for extraction.
Then upload each part into cloud .

An .RAR is fine...I should have mentioned that it doesn't have to be a .ZIP.
I do see that this app will create a multipart .RAR but I don't see how to do this in an automated fashion...?

When you choose a file/folder, under Advanced Options, type in the size of a single part, then click OK. It's automated (unless I'm mistaken on your meaning of automated)

I have a Tasker profile that creates a TWRP Nandroid backup using Online Nandroid Backup. Then, I'm using FolderSync to upload the backup to one of the cloud services. Since the service I'm using has a 1 GB single file size limit, the upload fails.
So, what I need is a shell script (or Tasker plug-in) that can combine all of the files in the TWRP Nandroid into a multipart archive. I have to be able to add the shell script/plug-in to the tasks for this profile. I would insert it in between the Nandroid backup and the cloud sync.
HTH clear it up a bit.
