Yes, sir. It would be. I think I am going to call it a night. I still need to do some work on updating stuff though.

I made a thread but just should have posted here. Is there anyway you could make a guide on how to use NinjaMorph? I would love to learn how to customize my phone my own way. I have no developing experience at all lol.

Damage Theme Servers

Hi all,
Damage can you give us more info on the theme servers? We should compile a list of them and keep them in one place if possible.
Thanks
Yes, I am very interested in this too.
yes this would be sick and greatly appreciated. I thought i was the only one thinking about this.
Its ****ty people made damage want to leave right when he releases dcupdater. Hopefully he will still support it.
I was searching for it yesterday, and didn't find anything.
I'm looking forward to this, too.
don't know if you have read or not,but a lot of bs happened yesterday. damage may be gone forever. with all the work he has put into the community this is a shame.

If you couldn't tell, I have decided to stick around for now. The dust has settled for the most part. We know who did it and if you choose not to support that developer, that's up to you. I personally am done with it. I know who I can't trust now and will do my best to not let stuff like that bother me. What's done is done.

Who cares?.. Theme servers! Keep this on topic. Damage mentions that he is working on them.

I expect to have some themes up and going within a week or so.
Anyone who has created a theme and would like it to be put on the theme server, please PM me.
I am also working with some other devs to get an OTA updater app on their ROMs. Seems to be a pretty popular request so I will work with other ROMs to get this going ASAP.

Very Grateful... Anyone want to take a newb under their wing?

Hey my name is Scott and ive been using ROMs from this website for awhile now and well lets face it i think im addicted to flashing new ROMs... either that or im determined to turn my infuse into a brick. . Anyways, besides the introduction i wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and every developer on this site and especially the ones in the infuse section for making my phone 20x better then it ever could be. Its amazing what you guys come up with. I really appreciate the hard work and dedication. With all this being said, I would absolutely love to learn how to do this. As far as programming goes, i havent done anything since the days of VB3 . So... Would any of the awesome developers out there want to mentor a newb?? I would be very grateful if someone could teach me what i need to know and maybe one day develop my own ROM.
First off, thank you as well. Without out flashers our work would be virtually worthless
Secondly, before starting development take a day to sit down and really research articles on this site. The more knowledge you have before hand will put you a head of the game. Once you have basic knowledge, pick a base rom. One that you feel would be best for what you want to build. Download that rom. Download nunhuggers apktool, the necessary Java development tools. Decompile the rom and take a while to look through it, and kind of get an understanding of how things work within the rom. That would be the best starting point.
Also when developing your own rom, before you release it take time to make sure everything is in working order, releasing a half broken rom is no good, releasing a solid, stable rom is aces. I'd you need anything I will gladly answer any questions I can, and help in anyway I can. Most senior devs would be glad to help as well, very good community we have here.

Thank you for your response and advice. I have briefly gone over guides and documents ive found just by doing a general google search and of course from this site also. It looks kind of complex, but im sure your suggestion of taking a day and sitting down to decompile it and take a good look would really put things into perspective.
When i do a search for nunhuggers apktool, it just comes up with a tutorial video? Is this what your referring to or is there an actual download that im missing?
Thanks for the offer to help if i need it... I have a feeling ill definitely be taking you up on that. I have noticed just from downloading ROMs and general observations on this forum that everyone seems pretty awesome and are willing to help. Glad to have finally joined and posted.
There should be a download in his topic, not sure if he took it down or not. I'll upload it when I get home and give you the link if you don't have it by then. His video explains how to use it and its very simple to do

Not to discourage, just giving you some advice, it is allot of work for even little things, I say down and tried to edit the 2.3.6 and add a simple extended power menu, took me 30 mins at least and I didn't even get to test it, wouldn't re compile for some reason, again not to discourage, just trying to give you some insight into what's needed

deathblade... Thanks for the heads up.. Im looking forward to the time that it takes to put into this.. I am very OCD about things and when i get obsessed with something, i get 100 percent focused on getting it done.

If you have mac laying around...or if your willing to run linux this is a great tool! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623 its called android utility and it downloads and installs everything you need to get started...except java gotta download that before you run this tool.
The first time you run it it will go througb the installation process and it will get you just about everything you need...
-dsixda's android rom kitchen (great for decompiling a rom and recompilimg a rom)
-apktool (for decompiling apks...this tool is neccesary for development if you want to add tweaks and mods)
-simple adb interface (has a list of options, choose what you want and it does the code for you)
Has some other stuff too but thats the main stuff
I have it on my linux computer and it runs great!
Ill upload some pics of it as soon As i finish my lunch
And if ou ever have any questions send a dev a pm, they are all very helpful!

if you download ubuntu, it has an installation option where you install it in and along side windows, and it will ask you which to boot into when turning you computer on, very useful

Hello and a quick tip! Before setting up your Linux box make sure that ALL of your hardware/peripherals are supported by the Linux distribution you choose. You can see a list of all your hardware in windows by typing "device manager" in the search box. If you find that all your hardware is supported, have fun .

[Q] I broke it!!! I think?

total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time
I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk
In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..
Some helpfull links:

GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - For AT&T
thanks!!!
Thanks for the info bigjoe2675 & dantespec...well I feel real stupid now... I looked over all that info and its way above my head. is there anyone I can send my phone to that does this type of work and is trustworthy enough not to steal my phone? i have already trashed it once I dont want a $230 paper weight. I also have a Sprint galaxy s2 epic i would like to have flashed to verizon. i have no clue what I am doing and willing to pay to fix my two phones. mine and the ol ball and chains.

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.
For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

[Q] Live wallpapers not working on jedi mind tricks rom

Hi. I bought a t-mobile Samsung galaxy S2 yesterday and the guy I bought it from has Jedi mind tricks rom on it. I downloaded the diablo 3 live wallpaper and every time I go to open it after downloading and installing, it won't open. So I thought it was the app and tried another live wallpaper and that didn't open. I tried 5 different live wallpapers and none of them work on my phone. So i'm assuming it's something with the Rom he put on my phone. regular wallpapers work, just not live wallpapers. I would really like to get this working, cause I love live wallpapers especially the Diablo 3 one. Can someone please help with this issue step by step, I am just learning about cell phones now since I got this, but I am a complete NOOB atm. also... is there a link someone can provide on learning how to use Jedi mind tricks? thanks a lot! I did want to add... I looked my butt off for anything on this before I posted this question and found nothing on it, if it is posted somewhere, I am sorry, but me being at work didn't give me uber browsing time and it doesn't help I have ADD and this site is VERY overwhelming to me. I want to mention, I called the guy I bought the phone from and he said try using APEX or a different loader, but that didn't work either. Very frustrating considering I build and repair PC's but can't figure this phone thingy out.
Thanks,
Chris

That's because its not included in the ROM by default. It can be found in the Goody Bag.
A good way to solve most ROM related issues is to:
1. Search in the ROM's discussion thread (like I did just now)
2. Ask in the ROM's discussion thread
3. PM the dev of the ROM once and wait for an answer.
