Advice on applying MCR R2 - Desire General

I finally managed to root my desire, i want to install one of the pre-baked MCR R2 Roms, was wondering whether the battery mod in this post would work:
it came with the battery mod as well as the usb debugging 'cog' icon [edit] just noticed the new bluetooth icon too, grey when turned on, blue when paired/connected, and a green coloured GPS icon (similar to the wifi one)

do not install this on any odexed roms
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what would be the best way to install it?
Also would like to ask about the installation about MCR, what do you mean when you say to "Perform a Nandroid Backup first"
How do you set up the A2SD+

This will probably not work as the MCR is odexed In regards to A2SD lots of people are saying that, having installed it, they have lost all functionality in their USB port! So it might be worth just holding out till an update is released (such as android 2.2 )

I've had no issues using MCRr2 with A2SD+ and USB - all been fine for me

UNABLE TO CHANGE THEME after flashing cooked rom

As thread title suggests, i've been unable to change my windows theme after flashing any cooked rom, based on 1.93 onwards.
Previous 1.73 roms no problems.
I dont use TF3D since it slows my gaming down, so i want to use normal windows. I've taken two screenshots, one of the home page and one of the start menu. Its currently on Windows Default Theme.
As you can see only the top and bottom bar changes.
Any solutions? (i've soft reset and changed from Diamond rom to Dutty's rom to check as well, still problem persists)

posting in rom section because i believe cookers should be aware
Bump. come on guys help me out here
I used to have this problem in some test ROM's i cooked .. ,as far as i was remember it was something to do with an program that i integrated in to the ROM .. (WkTask or some other task manager ..)
task manager? hmmm. So if its cooked into a rom, is there any way to get rid of it? I'm thinking reinstalling task manager. Any version can? since its a VGA device here

[Q] Froyo 2.2 Browser missing "buttons"?

I noticed that my browser no longer has button graphics for certain clickable links that are actions. For example, the page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
Would normally have buttons on the "Show" links at the bottom of the page. Now, I just have the text "Show" that I can click on. I have tested this on various roms and various websites. Has anyone else noticed this?
EDIT: Here is approximately what it used to look like:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is what it now looks like on my phone:
you should add Gmail to this issue
I think it is something that some of the Devs are doing to the ROMs. I tried Virtuous, Uncommon Sense, and Skyraider Vanilla, all with the same issue. Then I flashed my 8/1 leak ROM, and no issues (buttons were there). I proceeded to flash the official Froyo dump from the RUU (deodexed v2) and no problems with it either. On top of that, I installed the same mods I had previously installed on Virtuous (adrynalyne kernel, Smooth Sense Icons, No Location Icon, and REVOlution Font) with no issues. So, I'm thinking some common update or patch is breaking the buttons. Anyone have some insight?
Did you wipe dalvik cache, and do a full wipe before installing each of those roms?

OTA update from HTC ?

Hello,
I have a rooted Desire and everything is working perfectly.
So i got this update from HTC today (i thought rooted doesn't get them?) anyhow i accepted and went ahead with installation
on reboot it did not install it giving some signature error (after showing the white triangle and yellow ! mark with android logo), so i rebooted and it shows the installation window again as follows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so i'm wondering should i repeat the installation or it will keep giving errors because i'm rooted ?
i rooted because i want to install certain softwares like the screenshot software along with arabic support libs
Thanks
Do not apply OTAs if you are rooted, for the last 48 hours this has been said more than a few times.
If you do it your next thread will be something like "HELP!!! CAN"T BOOT, WIFI NOT WORKING" and etc.
Thanks i've ignored it then
although its market update only, not sure what market update HTC has released?
It's the update to the Android Market, nothing from HTC bar a few apps patches and a new radio

[Metamorph] GreyRemix by since001 for CM6 and CM5 based ROMs

Hey guys,
so I made a theme out of several other themes I found on the xda forum. Actually I wanted something simple, so I thought it would best by making (or remixing) my own metamorph theme.

}
The base is from studjuice's Gingerbread for CM 6+
The battery and message symbol is from sisterchick's Minimal Remix
The only thing I made by myself are the data symbols
Theres just a symbol for the data connection icons. No blinking arrows.
I've tested this theme on froyo by lazslo 5.2, but it should work with any other rom based on CM6.
Remember that I will not take responsibilty for any fails on your phone after applying this theme. Also remember to do a backup!
I hope you enjoy it like I do
Now also for SuperE / CM5. See attachments.
yes first post can it be flashed over super e???
the zip isnt flashable. you have to apply it with metamorph from the market. and for now it is only compatible with cm6 based roms.
i see u have updated for eclair thats great coz i am currently rocking super e going to give it a try
one request could you also include fonts in the metamorph file??????

Circular Battery Stat - No Root Needed - Notification

So back in October of 2010, some guy named Irkan made the version for a black notification bar and I made the version for the white notification bar. Here they are, they work great in ICS. Just download and install like a normal apk.

Can you make 1 with stock battery icons for Android Revolution 2.1.2? LTE version?
no only because i don't have time. feel free to break into the apk and replace the icons though.
if you search for my posts on androidforums.com you'll find some links to big battery icons that are ICS type but probably lower resolution. might work.
Is this for the notification bar?
If so, does it replace the stock battery icon, or add an additional one?
Wow nice!!! But would you please explain what's the difference between two files? I'm running everything stock (locked bootloader), which one should I use?
If later one we decided to go back to the original, will simply uninstall this app work?
It adds an additional one. Just tried it. Would be nice if it was a replacement, which I guess would require root at the very least.
