[Q] ICS Theme for I9001?

Is there any Ice Cream Sandwich System theme out there that we can flash on our phones?
Any way to make them?

[Q] About flashing custom ROMs

Hi everyone!
I am fairly new with android and I just rooted my transformer last night. I was also able to install a custom ROM, revolver 3.11.1 (Honeycomb).
If I want to flash an ICS ROM (Revolver, Android Revolution or Codename), from a custom HC ROM, do I have to do anything else? Or can I just flash it straight away?
Based on what I've read, if ever I wish to downgrade back to honeycomb, I would not just flash a honeycomb ROM. I have found a few guides on how to downgrade back to Honeycomb from ICS. Is this correct?

Since you have cwm, It's as simple as going into recovery and flashing your desired custom rom.
Normal procedure (to avoid conflicts/problems) is to wipe and/or format before flashing a new rom.
A good tool to have is the superwipe lite script found in the Revolution HD thread. (I personally use that instead of the wipe option that is in CWM).
Oh...and you can also backup your current ROM and state by using the backup function in CWM BEFORE you wipe/format. Just in case you don't like the new rom and want to revert.
FYI...if you go ICS and want to restore your HC rom...a restore then a reflash of the HC Rom is needed.

Thanks for the reply!
Just to clarify, once I flash an ICS custom ROM and didn't like it, I can't just flash back to a HC custom rom or stock HC rom. Is this correct?

Yup. Even if you use the restore function...you need to flash that particular HC ROM over the restore. (Because the backup doesn't backup the kernel...so if you don't flash the HC rom...the ICS kernel is still there...and you won't be able to boot)

sorry to hijack the thread but my question is similar so i dun want to start a new one
I am currently on revolver 3.11 as well and thinking to update to a ICS custom rom
I am using the blade OC kernel at the moment. I just want to ask if the new rom comes with the ICS kernel or do I need to look for an ICS kernel to put it manually?
Also, I just want to check that Ti Backup does not back up downloaded data right?
Thanks a million

Everything is included when you flash one of the available ICS ROM.
There is no custom ICS kernel right now anyway as Asus have not released the kernel source.

just fxz back (see the noob thread) then re root. it only take less than 5 minutes to re root, it is best to ota to 2.3.6 before rooting after the stock restore

Question on going back to stock

I rooted not to long ago and flash a jelly bean rom. Love it but thinking about going back to stock just because of some minor issues. Before i flashed the rom i did a complete back up in CWM. Do I have to flash a stock rom from the developers section or can i just restore my backup? Sorry if thats a noob question.

You should be fine, just do a full wipe first.

[Q] Return to JB?

Is there any way to return to JB from Kitkat without going back to the stock GB rom? I can't seem to find any roms or pit packages that aren't GB or Froyo. Am i just not digging deep enough?

Bump

The infuse was release several yrs ago. It started with froyo 2.2. The GB was release later 2.3.
PIT files is the map for the stock android system by samsung. There are no pit beyond 2.2 or 2.3.
Anything later is cm9, cm10 and cm11 - these run on different file system.
if you want to go from kk to jb, find a jb rom + jb gapp and boot into cwm, wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash.
if something messes up, go back to gb and start over

AFAIK you can't just flash back like that because of file system formats. JB runs on MTD and i don't think that KK does. But i'm trying to restore a 4.3 backup now. Will report back with results. I just tried to flash 4.3 and it gave me a red triangle with a status 7 error which i knew would happen.
[EDIT]
Well i'll be damned. It worked! And coincidentally I acidentally labeled the wrong backup as 4.3. I restored the SGSIV 4.2.2 ROM.

when changing a file system, sometimes you may need to flash a rom twice...
and btw..you're welcome
