How do I install or flash a theme to my Evo??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Depending on what ROM you're using you usually just download the theme, put it on the root of your SD card, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, then flash the theme.

just what i was looking for!!! Thx
Does wiping cache and dalvik wipe your apps/contacts any of that stuff?
No it doesn't only a factory reset will.i usually only wipe when I flash roms/kernels but dont wipe for themes.

So you just flash a theme through recovery? How do you revert if you don't like it or it doesn't look right? Create a backup before you flash the theme and then restore if you need to? TIA!

You just go back and reflash the ROM. It will overwrite the theme so to speak

Yes always good idea to nand backup

its not life & death, but after reading your questions,i highly recommend reading a bit more about themes,recovery and how they work before flashing anything. It will be to your benefit; unless you dont care really how your phone looks or operates, since these are dev tools that give us these capabilities and you can muck many things up if you are unaware of what you are doing...
Great lessons in this thread.... Thanks!
Every time I try to flash a theme (I've tried two different ones with many separate download attempts), I get an abort message from clockwork recovery.
I'm Evo 4g with CM6.1.1
Flash theme that does not match software on phone.
Thanks for the information. I have been looking for some themes as I have only done new ROM's. What will happen if I am on CY6.1.2 and flash theme for a 6.0 or less? For example I like Detox, but I don't think I can use it since it is for less than 6.1. Is that correct?
Thanks for this information! I was wondering what I needed to do to change my theme:good:
I cannot install a ROM for the life of me someone please help

With the new Kernel from 7/05, in the [ROM][Unofficial AOKP]UNi-yuma-PoRN Build40[062912][Aroma], do we need to do a full wipe or can this be flashed over the existing Rom.
I just didn't want to lose all the other apps with the full wipe.

Kernels can be flashed over the rom without a wipe, since they don't change anything in the file system.

Just flash the cwm package, Pete.
No wipe needed.

How can I confirm if I am running Yuma? I installed the Kernel and it appears to have installed properly during the procedure but when I check "About Phone" I'm not sure what it is supposed to say.

Hi, recently I've installed a rom,
and now I have 2.5 gb less than before in the sd-card.
When I install a rom, where does it put it ?
I have less space now and it's bothered me :X
(I removed the zip file of the rom from the sd-card).
Ohh and I installed TWRP, but replaced it with CWM. Maybe the TWRP is still on my sd-card and take space?

If i'm not mistaken, there should be a CWM recovery to resize your cache partition. Of course, your device should be rooted.

Could be your nandroid backup. Or just repartition through recovery. Make sure to backup first.

you SHOULD know that when you are using cwm recovery, you are tamping with your device, and if it goes wrong it could or could not be fixed.

I think that the rom took more space, because it has some more stuff than the stock rom
I'm on leeedroid v2.1 and didn't loose any space from when I was on stock strange.... Try leedroids Rom when he gets the update

@LalyGirl, The ROM should be in the system partition. If you have Titanium backup it should tell you the break down of of internal storage, sdcard ect..
or get "Quick System Info" app.
As for recovery, if you flashed CWM it is written to the recovery partition so it will overwrite the TWRP you had.

Generally, wipe data/cache, install TW ROM of choice.
Should've done a nandroid once you rooted

Fixed :cyclops:
ive read that its best to go back to a stock ROM or back to stock before flashing from AOSP rom.
If you dont some system files will be left behind in different partitions that might give you issues.
id wipe 3x. restore a stock nandroid, then wipe again, then flash tw rom

Learned that extra wipes can only help not hurt. Haha good ole htc taught me that. Thunderbolt and rezound haha and I only do the system wipe when switching aosp to tw. Not tw to tw. That's a waste of time haha

i bounce back and forth all the time btween touchwiz/aosp... all i do is wipe data/factory reset 1 time then flash rom or nandroid restore.

I'm rooting a friends at&t skyrocket tomorrow that is on official ics update from at&t and was wondering if that brick bug was still present.I know i might be a little late with this. I was told by a friend that it was only present on the ics leaks for this phone and just wanted to make sure now that this has official ics that i won't have any problems worrying about a brick on my hands by wiping data factory reset in cwm. Go easy on me please I was on the OG evo when all of this brick stuff happened so I never payed much attention to it
Thanks in advance

Regardless, wiping data/factory reset using cwm won't effect anything. I'm pretty sure that problem was the result of wiping in the phones settings menu (if I remember right).

Honestly, i'm not sure. I never really worried about it. Always use CWM for wiping and never had a problem with anything.
I think it happens when you try to format the internal SD card. Its an emmc bug (I think) but I don't have the bug and my i777 doesn't have it. I thought it was on the specific kernel for the i777 and the international variants.

Just follow the sticky here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
Once you get it rooted with CWM, i'd suggest updating CWM to this version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970
If you're looking for the JellyBean version of AOKP, i'd really suggest this - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34092-aokp-unofficial-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-nov-04-milestone-1/
As far as flashing it, I:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-mounts & storage [format /system]
-advanced [wipe dalvick cache]
-flash rom
-flash gapps
-reboot
*you can do these x2 or x3 each if you wish just to be sure everything is clear*
Hopefully some of this will help if you already don't know any of it. Any other questions, shoot me a pm if you need or i'm sure someone here can help.

He really wants to overclock so thats the only preference he wants to be able to do

Hi, If a new version of the rom I have (CarbonRom) comes out, and I wanna update, do I still need to full wipe? And another question: what are the advantages of not full wiping before updating? Will it leave my apps? Or settings?
Thanks!
Sent from my One S
Full wipe is recommended but it is not always needed if u are updating same rom. And yes if u do not wipe then it will retain ur apps only when u are updating the same rom. Not if u flash another rom over the first one.
