-Prolog-
This is continuation of Donaldj83 thread, who has left the first thread
NextBook Next2-Next3/Prestigio PMP3084B/Odys Genesis > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988740
as the founder in November 2011. So far -thanks to Donald for all the good work and the fun we had together.
DaremoS an JDfense decide after more than two months later, it is time to go on and clean up. So much lost roms and dead links.
After consultation the »management«(forum moderator) we are allowed to open the second part of the thread under the same headline.
Our main goal is to get the best ROMs for our lovely rk2818(rk2808) tablets.
Everybody is invited, who wants to help, has a question or the answers or likes simply to discuss some »nerd-things« around the tablet.
Off the topic is strictly forbidden, but with respect and a sense of humor, we find a path between the rule.

Too late, just installed a new drive just for android and linux. Starting from beginning with original roms, rooting and modding now that I know more about android. But I will try to do one today or maybe tomorrow, just can't say. I look back and the roms I made were not so good.

We got couple advantages for using something like pastebin...
We get to know how many users are trying to get your file...
You can edit the links inside anytime you like...
So for example JD uses that link in the top post... and he leaves us all alone like Donald and mediafire goes down then i will still be able to change the links.
You can add more links(mirrors) inside whenever you like
You can delete the links really fast if you find that img could have bad affect somewhere... and fix the img and update the link
lol I feel like I'm stretching it to much
That's it for now

Right now it is diffecult to decide which way is the best to protect an upload, because filehoster seemed to be nervous. Pastbin could be a help, but not a solution. When a link dies, you have to upload it again.
Btw I have not the intention to run away, pal.
Maybe we find a stable file hoster or change sometimes the link.
One thing is for shure, these guys have a lot of fun right now.

hello i have one question how i can change style of my android phone i have cyanogenmod menu and style but i want keep cyanogenmod and only change visual style i look on google but cant find any tutorial
so do i must only change framework-res.apk and framework java or anything other

It depends ...but seems to be complicated at this time I recommend you to use an online tool to change framework Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen
to change things from scratch use APK_Manager but this is an advanced task for people they develop a custom ROM so be careful every wrong entry in framework will result in an unusable phone -stuck at bootanimaton so take care about and do a nandroid backup before so you can restore your phone to a working status
what if I just change the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for example,WP7 ROM v2.0 by jinavs to cyanogenmod 7.2 but in such a way so then would not work
i just want keep cyanogenmod and put style from WP7 ROM v2.0 by jinavs i want have cyanogenmod and windows phone 7 style or system ui

I followed your posts here in fact you just want your own ROM but this is not as easy as you think you never find a complete-tutor "how to make a custom ROM" just because this is subject for a book and involves developer-level abilities (just look at that ROM -is made by a development team) keep things as simple as possible an find a ROM that meet your appropriate requirements you should be glad you have Cyanogenmod on your phone because not all people have this chance !
to get an answer to your question why not to post it on that ROM thread if you want answer put the right question in the right place
at least but not the last thing :I appreciate efforts to change/improve things
Dear Fellows,
I'm new to CM and its just my second post, I'm kinda interested in making/modifying themes on android phones. I have some queries regarding this..
1. do i need to create a new project from scratch and build my own apk or
2. do i just decompress other's theme apk and change it way i like (is that legal or acc to rule of android, CM forums etc )
3. Can i sale themes on play store using second method ( i know they worked but if its possible, i wont do if its not or illigal)
thanx for your reply in advance
1. There are plenty guides on the Android Theme section. I have written up a updated guide to create themes from scratch with extra info on how to theme your interface. There are some that show you how to theme using pre-made apks
2. Yes you can as long it is not a paid theme. A free one then its fine, you just have to ask the original themer for permission. So they know you're using his/hers theme as a base.
3. Yes you can if you have permission
