Loading themes - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Where can I find the how to on loading themes to a rooted ROM...should they just install like an apk or is it more involved I'm not using the right search criteria to find what I need for input. Any help is much appreciated!

It depends on your theme, most themes only work on custom homes apps like gde, open home, or ahome. If it says "theme for ____" it usually needs that program to open.

Also, a majority of the [THEME] posts in this section are just modded images for senseui. They are installed just like a custom rom, using the select zip option in the recovery menu.

Thanks Wasney I'll try that; now that I have the default RUU I just install that. Any time I nandroid back up and then do a restore the reboot seems to hang at the HTC boot screen unanimated not indicating even a reboot process if that makes sense.

Themes and mods

So here's a question from a n00b
Which mods are permanent and which ones are not? I have Eng bootloader and JF r30 1.3 which of course gave me opportunity to do all these things that you guys took time to figure out so n00bs like me can punch in some commands without knowing what it does or how it works. All I see is the end result and I love it!!!
So far I have
Custom splash1 and splash2
Auto-rotate browser and system
All cashes moved to SD
All apps moved to SD
Ringtones moved to SD
Removed Amazon.MP3 and Alarm
Installed tether-1.6.tar (whoever came up with that - THANK YOU!)
Windows7 theme.
Prior to updating to this theme I had removed amazon and alarm and they reappeared after I installed this theme. Now I'm scared to try out another theme because I don't want to re-do all the mods?
Can someone explain to me (and all of the n00bs out there) which mods are permanent and which ones need to be re-done after every theme change. Fell free to elaborate on the mods that I did not mention
Thanks to all for your past and future contributions, it's all greatly appreciated
Nothing is permanent.
The reason those apps returned after installing a theme is because those apps are present in the app folder in update.zip.
You can remove them again or simply remove them from the theme update.zip and then apply it.

The actual theme only consists of modifying framework-res.apk. In /system/apps is where you would delete stock programs, but it generally leads to stability issues when done so.
As far as permanence, if you do a wipe, then install a new version of an os, you will be stuck with whatever is in the update.zip package. You would need to pull the framework-res.apk from that new version, and then resign it, then install it in recovery mode.
The splash1 image is permanent, the splash2 isn't permanent if you decide to change themes, or wipe your phone (from my experience.)

Actualy, theming has to deal with modifying every apk. Yes majority of the work is done with framework but a good deal of work is done to launcher.apk, contacts.apk, and various other apks for custom icons and things related specifically to the apps theselves.

Now see, this is why I said right away that I'm a noob in this. I don't know what framework is, how launcher.apk works, etc, etc etc...
I kind of figured out that I will need to remove alarm and amazon again (from my earlier experience) but I really need someone to basically go thru the list and say "this will stay" or "you will need to do this again". This way I will compile a little "to do after theme install" list. I also would like to know what would happen if I end up doing the same mod twice, like running a command to move move all the apps to sd, not that I want to do it but hey, sh** happens.
At any rate, thanks to all for your replies.

[ROM] OmegaEVO v1.1 [[NEW 3.30.651.3 OTA]] [[Froyo 2.2]] Updated 11/15/2010

For my new ROM please go HERE
Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?
Screenshots available soon. 10 char

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.
EDIT: Replacement battery indicator included in the first post for anyone who does not like the circle battery indicator the ROM is cooked with.
ricsim78 said:

That is the font from the Manup theme, I like it too
I added a link to download a recovery flashable battery indicator (changes battery to smooth with percentage) in the first post. This way you can keep the stock circular one or switch it if you do not like it. Choice is good!

Thanks for the compliments and I am glad you like. There is 4 custom wallpapers included, I found them from Desktop Nexus and resized them to fit the Evo screen (960x800) using Paint.net for Windows 7.
You should also check out the custom ring tones and notifications!

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.

[ROM] DI14 Pick-n-Pack 0.2 ROM

DI14_pick-n-pack_0.2 ROM for the Samsung Mesmerize
I have reworked this ROM to make it a little easier to work with. In the 0.2 version, you will be able to flash the main package without any need to add files like in the 0.1 version. As for the removed apk files, they are now flashable either individually or in packs depending on what they are. I felt this would be an easier way to still get what you want but not having to put things together before flashing.
I still recommend that you take a backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone while flashing any or all parts of this ROM. I also recommend that you download both the ROM and Addons at the same time so that you do not have to wait for a second download after you have already flashed the ROM.
Also, to be clear since there has been confusion, MMS is 100% functional in this ROM because it uses stock MMS, not AOSP.
*****This ROM contains these apps:
ADW Launcher
Browser
Camera
Clock
Contacts
Gallery
Gmail
GTalk
Latitude
Maps
Market
MMS
Music Player
My Files

Download the ROM and Addons. Unzip the Addons and decide which packs you want to flash. Put the ROM and individual Addons on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Then you can flash the Addons individually. When you are done, reboot. If the phone hangs at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, pull the battery, do three button to get back to recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Reboot and things should be fine.

Awesome! I'm reading up some more on how to flash these roms in and I plan on using this one. I'm new to this and just learning.
I installed ROM Manager and installed "flash clockworkmod recovery" (it said I had to) and then I clicked backup current ROM. I have tried twice, and it said failed each time.
I'm afraid to try it again, as I don't want to ruin my phone.
Any ideas?

Try going in to recovery by turning off the phone, hold the power and volume down button. Once in recovery, select apply sdcard:update.zip. That should get you get you to clockwork recovery. From there select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard. Find the zip and flash it.
Let me know if that works.

Thanks. That was my thinking. A lot of people were asking for apps to be put back in to jt's super clean ROM so I figured this was the easiest way that anyone could just drop in what they want and it would be custom tailored to their needs.
Since I've seen over 200 people look at the page but only 2 download the package, I'm thinking that there's got to be something to the hesitation. Feedback is welcome here, and encouraged. If this is too scary and people want something that they can just flash, throw some ideas out to me. I'm definitely open to suggestions.
I think the holidays may have something to do with it. Personally, I plan to use this once I get my phone rooted (for some reason z4root locks my phone up every time) But I want to wait until the rushing, travelling holiday is over because I cant go without my phone =)
I'm happy with the SuperClean Rom and Voodoo 5 right now, otherwise I'd have given this one a shot.
I'm still using this and I have had no issues. I like being able to choose which programs are going to be on my droid, instead of having all or none that I want.
I am getting same errors also..
I have done super one click..
Run Rom Manager and chose ROM it asks to reboot I get error.
When I choose SD update.zip it boots back into a image that has sceens that have black widgets.. All other Samsung and USSC stuff is still there as well as ROM Manager..

You have to do some work on the files to make ROM Manager working.
Get Clockwork Working
That will let you make the backup.zip and install from the SD card. Threw me for a loop as well.
One thing I do not want to lose or at least be able to find in another app is the SMART ALARM ..
I know... I got used to it in just a couple days. Love the way it sort of eased you awake instead of a full on GET UP..
So question would be. Which apk and dependencies would I need to keep and or anyone know of another app that would give me same with more options.

[THEME] BravoComb for BravoX [v1.0]

Themed to look like Android 3.0 Honeycomb
This will work on BravoX Rom and stock Bravo 2.2.1 (as tested by abhi897)
I have only tested it on BravoX RC2 so I can't guarantee any results, anything you do to damage your phone is not my responsibility.
This modifies all of the framework-res.apk and services.jar
What it changes:
Status Bar & icons
Statusbar pulldown
Popup menus
Buttons
Drop down menus
"loading" spinners
Lockscreen clock font
Lockscreen pull-bars
Scroll bar and handle
Check marks
Progress bar colors
and other things i can't remember
Requirements:
Root
BandroidX's bootstrap recovery and/or have ADB set up with knowledge
some knowledge on what you need to do if something goes wrong with your phone (e.g. SBF, nandroid restore)
To apply:
(With bootstrap recovery)
Download the flashable zip below to sdcard
Boot into CWM recovery through BandroidX's recovery app
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Select install zip from sdcard
Select choose zip from sdcard
Select BravoComb_BravoX_v1.0.zip
select yes to confirm
wait for installation to finish (a few seconds)
Reboot (will take a while because of the modded services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes
Enjoy your theme!
Things needed in upcoming updates:
Change some white font to black for easier reading (such as pull down menus)
Make some orange things more honeycomb-like
Let me know if there is anything else!
Changelog:
Initial release
Thanks to:
BandroidX for the awesome ROM and bootstrap

The developers for HoneyBread because I used some of their .pngs
EXTRA- if you want Gingerbread Market notifications and Gmail notifications follow these steps:
Note: you don't need my status bar mod, it will work on any phone (I think).
Download Gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip from below
put on sdcard
uninstall market and gmail
rename the vending.apk and gmail.apk (located in system/app/) to vending.bak and gmail.bak
boot into CWM recovery
Wipe Cache
Select install from zip from sdcard
select choose zip from sdcard
select gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip
install

Hope you guys enjoy, let me know what you think about it and what i need to change
Thanks!
Tested it. Works on stock rom as well.
you keep 'em coming! nice, man!
Nice! this looks super good... ill have to try it out next time i flash bravoX
Downloading and installing now. I'll leave my thoughts when it's all installed and I check it out. Keep them coming, man. Great job so far. This looks good.
Just ran through a bunch of stuff and it looks great. There is one thing I would suggest: when switching between tabs in the dialer and manage applications screens you can't really read what the tab is. Other than that, works flawlessly and looks great.
EDIT: Another thing I noticed was that when you're in the text message screen and typing in someone's name, you only see the "type" of number and not their name.
After about a day of using this everything else works great and smooth. I actually think this one runs a little smoother/faster than some other ones. I don't seem to be using as much RAM with this installed.

LBC Mod 0.6 - Anyone installed Sense 3 3D Launcher?

I really need to be able to post in the development section but sadly this forum doesn't allow it for noobs.
I did the following:
Flashed the LBC Wipe zip
Flashed LBC 0.6
Ran through the setup procedure
Ran Titanium Backup to restore previous apps
Flashed Sense 3 3D launcher
After than the phone gets stuck at the green android animation. If i press the power button it will do the CRT animation and turn the screen off. Likewise if I press it again i see the CRT animation on the android animation comes back.
This suggests that the phone is trying to load sense but is getting stuck. Can someone raise the question for the correct order to install it in the development section?
Thankfully I have managed to restore back to base LBC 0.6 so it isn't an urgent matter.
Thanks.
Another thing i noticed is that when I run the Market for the first time, it seems to automatically install a number of apps that have been removed from this rom such as maps.
Is there any way to stop it from happening?

Google backups and synchronises settings (including apps) to your Google account. Whenever I add a Google account in a fresh ROM it also starts downloading the apps I've previously had. There should be an option to disable this in settings. If I remember correctly, you can choose this during the initial setup.

Flashed the LBC Wipe zip
Flashed LBC 0.6
Ran through the setup procedure
Ran Titanium Backup to restore previous apps
Flashed Sense 3 3D launcher
After than the phone gets stuck at the green android animation. If i press the power button it will do the CRT animation and turn the screen off. Likewise if I press it again i see the CRT animation on the android animation comes back.
This suggests that the phone is trying to load sense but is getting stuck. Can someone raise the question for the correct order to install it in the development section?
Thankfully I have managed to restore back to base LBC 0.6 so it isn't an urgent matter.
Thanks.

(Opps, Must add that if you use EXT4 recovery and the associated APK recently released then remove the APK for it from the LBC v0.6.0 ZIP file and ensure that you un-install the program (not recovery) from your v0.5.4 system once you've restored it as the program was going through several pre beta releases and fails to upgrade after v0.6.0 install otherwise).
I detailed my install order HERE. Now if you don't have a v0.5.4 backup, I'd say simply run a full wipe and then proceed in the order that I did.
Even though my stages above don't mention the 3d rosie that's as I personally don't like it, but don't fear I did try it. I followed the steps above, then rebooted the device , setup as per normal then rebooted back to RECOVERY took a backup..(as didn't want to go through that process again!) and then flashed the 3D Launcher.ZIP to try it out - which I did but choose to revert to the backup as it wasn't for me!
Good luck.
