Themes Help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have searched a little bit, but my brain is fried from rooting today so i'm not having any luck finding a post on how to install a theme. I have found a million and one on how to make a theme, but not install it.
Could someone point me to a good "howto" please?
Or if it's as simple as flashing it using recovery you can just tell me to do that too!
Thanks!

Most you just flash using recovery.
The popular ones anyways.
Any particular one you are struggling with?

I haven't tried to do one yet for fear of breaking something after spending all day trying to root!
But im looking at installing this one.

I've already downloaded it. Do I just copy it to the root of my SD and then flash from SD with recovery?
Thanks!

Thats exactly what you do.. just make sure you downloaded the one for your rom... Damage control or Fresh.... and you will be all set..
Just so you know after flashing it might take a minute to reboot..just give it sometime and it will finish booting.

You need to find and set the background yourself.

Lost again.... When I go to menu > wallpapers I dont see that background in any of the categories. Where would I find them at??
TY!!!!

You are looking for the background for the minimalist / movado theme?
I would post the link but it won't let me as I am too new. Simply go to the theme page, save the bottom picture to your phone, which is the background you want. (And by theme page, I mean the link you posted above. It has several images in it. of screen shots. the bottom one is the background. Save that to your phone).
Just save that image to your phone, then go to "menu" / "wallpaper" / "gallery" and select the image.

New to rooting, themes and such.
I found some place that before flashing a theme you need to:
Wipe data+Cache+Dalvik
Is this necessary?

Custom Theming?

I am hoping to learn how to just be able to edit my themes of other peoples, then learn how to make my own themes from scratch. Could anyone point me to a general direction on how to get started?
i found this, http://www.androidevolve.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=10, but it seems a bit outdated and a bit hard to follow. I am pretty decent when it comes to phone technology and computer smarts, but i cannot find a decent guide to help me with theming. Would anyone like to point me in the direction and help a fellow learner?
Pm mee añd when I get by my computer I'll send you done links.

What file are you themeing? If it's a market app or system app that's been updated you have to theme the app in /data not /system.
I am theming a actual rom theme.
OK so you are just tweaking an existing theme? And you tried to change some images but the changes don't stick? Could you go through the steps you took? I'm rewriting the guide to make it a little more coherent and add some tips on market apps and such.
Yes, i am just tweaking an existing rom.
Okay.. download the zipped theme onto my desktop. Explored it and went to system, framework, framework-res.apk, res, drawable-hdpi.
I found an image that i wanted to change..lets say the music play button, in this instance. I changed the color of it from white to green, then i saved it. It asked me if i want to replace the image, in which i replied with yes. I flashed the theme on my phone..and the button is still white.
Okay, re-download the theme again, now this time open (not unzip) the new downloaded framework-res.apk and drag the changed icons you made earlier into the correct folder of this new file. Now close the opened file and flash it.

[TEMP] [FIX] Charging phone with phone off.

resolved. Close thread
Shaquiel Harris said:
Thanks to tnpapadakos for the info. to fix the charging phone with phone off auto boot to recovery issue all we have to do is use the 2.5.1.4 recovery. then you could always flash back to the latest clockwork recovery when you dont need this one anymore but can go back to the other one when you wanna charge with the phone off.
You could either flash it or put it in your sdcard in clockworkMOD/download/mirror.kanged.net/recoveries for easier access to flash from Rom manager. Make sure its named recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-vision once its there when you go to ROM managerr and go to all clockwork recoveries, you can flash that recovery without getting an Error! or rename it to recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision and flash it through that option.
Now does anyone still have that recovery? We can't get it from the ROM manager because you will get an ERROR. if anyone has it, post it here and ill add it here for everyone to get.

While you would rather be right. We would rather be happy.
Also... what good does it do you to give you what you want? It's more helpful if we show you how to get there instead... teach a man to fish, right? So how about you stop expecting (and demanding), and instead learn a little... it won't kill you to read through a thread (I'm still here, aren't I?)... instant gratification just shows how arrogant you are.
As for the broken link? There are numerous posts about a mirror being made by someone... how about you click "search" one more time?

damien667 said:
Its not a kernel patch, its a init.rc service than runs before recovery that reads the kernel command line for the offmode_charging variable... if it sees it it stops recovery from starting (even though you are in fact already booted into the recovery system) and starts a keypressing service (to reboot phone into regular boot mode when power button is pressed) and also the battery charging service that is supposed to display the battery icon charging animation (which doesn't work in cwm)... those services (binaries) were grabbed from the OTA recovery... if you read my previous posts, you would know.

How to take apart a NAND backup

I had the Cm7 gx4 rom not too long ago, and it had a really cool wallpaper that I used, and I'd like to have again. Off topic for a second, it was a white honeycomb pattern.
Anyways, I've tried going through the zip file for the wallpapers, even went through RC1 and RC2 to find it. Then tried opening the ADW zip within those roms and trying to find it there. I have an old nandroid backup from when I had that rom, and I was wondering how would one go about opening up the nand and extracting files? all that comes up when I open it at IMG files. Is it possible to navigate through it like a zip file?

Yeah. I did a search and all (as I stated in my post), but I must not have searched the perfect keywords. XDA search seems finicky.
And I hope you didn't get the wrong idea from my post. I wasn't trying to say that you, specifically, should have helped me. It was more out of frustration with the fact that no one at all replied, and the fact that there actually was a perfect thread that I couldn't find.
Anyway, thank you for finally opening my eyes, and I will hit the thanks button for you when I get on a computer instead of the app.
I got those img files extracted by using dsixda's kitchen; rename those nand imgs as boot.img, and use kitchen function #22 to extract them.
Was this the answer you were looking for?

Request for Virgin Mobile Stock

Hello all,
So I bought my HTC Wildfire S Virgin Mobile on black friday like everybody else. I waited a few days and then rooted. And then I had the brilliant idea to try installing the CM 7.1 Mod for it. And well, I didn't do a Clockwork Backup, and well, it didnt work very well. The phone got stuck on the HTC screen. So finally I installed a different ROM, JikantaruROM, and I managed to get past the bootscreen but I can't use my carrier anymore. So I was wondering if anybody could either tell me how to flash CM 7.1 Unoffical release to my phone, or if anybody knew a way I could get back to the original Virgin Mobile software. It seems that you have all the other stock roms, so I would REALLY appreciate if someone could share the Virgin Mobile rom too.
Thanks in advance,
Wieland959
Seconded. Although I think mine is in a slightly worse case; I kept flashing roms and ended up in a state where it turns on, screen remains black, then the phone vibrates three times and evidently does nothing. So Wieland959, I'd advise you to stop flashing until someone posts the ROM.
And if someone could let me know how to recover from my current state, I'd very much appreciate it.

Your in the same boat I was just in. My solution was to go back to radioshack with the receipt and tell them it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Just doing the 3 vibrations. I did spend hours trying to search about how to fix it, but I dont think theres a way unless you use a jtag hookup and some sort of fancy programmer.
@Wieland959, If you want. I just tried to do the OTA update through the settings on the phone itself. It would let me download the file(I believe it should be flashable through the cwm recovery), but when I tried to let the phone install the file, I would get the android with the exclamation mark after the reboot. Ill try to post here, if it will upload. But......
DISCLAIMER!!!!
I take no responsibility for anyone damaging their phone using the file here. This file, as far as I know, should only work with the Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA CDMA model A510C as this is the phone the file was downloaded from.
Thank you for the file, but I couldn't flash it. What might work though, if you are willing is, if you have rooted your phone, to make a cwm backup and upload that here. From there I should be able to recover and then factory wipe my phone. But thank you anyways for the file. I will keep kicking until the phone doesn't boot.
How are you planning on restoring from backup if the phone doesn't even boot?
Sorry, I'm new to this...

Okay. I managed to boot my phone and am able to send/receive texts. The rom I used? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367701] It seems to work pretty well. However, I would still like to have the original rom if someone could still upload it.
VM USA Stock Clockwork Backup
Well, I don't know much about stuff like this, but here is my clockwork mod recovery backup. It's just the stock VM USA w/HTC Sense. I have realized that I deleted the bloatware, so that's the only thing that isn't 100% stock. Hope it helps.
*Unzip the file before placing on you sd card. (Contains the clockwork folder, which contains the backup folder,and then the folder that contains the backup itself.)*

Thanks for the backup! It worked perfect for me!
would you mind if i posted the link on another forum? i know of a couple people looking for a backup aswell.
You should be able to switch back with the recovery no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to install boot into recovery, install from SD, select specific, and select the zip of the rom. Also, I don't have my phone on me so the wording might be a little different.
MMS is a known issue with the rom from what I've read. I don't have it installed personally.
@brandonhun, Thank you so much. You're a life saver. As far as the rom goes, it still have sense on it and there are tons of MMS errors. So just wait and eventually something will pop up.

Just a heads up wieland, when you get a voice mail and you try to check it from the notifications make sure it's your number, because I ended up giving brandonhun a call. Going through the activation app and rebooting fixed the problem.

I haven't done this ROM change but if its the stock HTC Sense go to personalize and get HTC widgets (perhaps its get more HTC widgets) and you should find an update to the clock widget. That should give you the original clock plus a bunch more new ones.

[Q] How to change overscroll actions and/or color?

Hello all,
I have a rooted HTC Droid Incredible with the latest version of the Stock+ ROM, and I personally dislike the green overscroll. I am wondering if there is a way to change it to, say, red; green goes good with the Sense UI, but it doesn't compliment the phone like red does. Aside from that, I'm wondering if there's a way to possibly add an overscroll action that Samsung phones include. I know that CyanogenMod does all this, but the blue theme doesn't appeal to me.
I've read many other threads about re-coloring the overscroll, but all I get in return is UOT Kitchen, which never seems to work.
If anyone could help out with this it'd be greatly appreciated.

UOT is the easiest way to do it. The manual way takes a lot of technical steps. UOT is really very easy to use, you can get instructions here http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/. If you cant get UOT to work you will never figure out the manual way.
If you cant figure it out you can grab these files from your phone and zip them up, and post a link to them, and i will do it for you. Also tell me the # code of the color red you want.
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
/system/app/SystemUI.apk

It's not that I can't figure it out, it's that only the scroll wheel will change; not the overscroll. Though, your arrogance has convinced me that I don't need your help.
do you have a hex color code you would like me to use?

Thankfully I made a backup; all this did was put my phone in an infinite boot loop. The loop started at the second HTC screen, and ended at the end of the Droid Eye.

You can try this even though you dont want my help.
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Make a backup if you dont already have one.
3. Wipe dalvik-cache from recovery menu - advanced
4. Manually mount /system and /data, and format /cache from recovery menu - mounts and storage.
5. Flash this file Stock+ Red Overscroll.
First boot will take a long time due to wiping dalvik, just be patient.

Maybe apk tool didn't compile correctly. Going to really do it in a bit when I get to work. Sorry I have no way of testing it at the moment. Dev Inc needs the 5 vib of death fixed.

Edit: no errors when compiling. But please make a backup and try this one.

This worked, thank you. I appologize for making such a quick assumption about you, it's just that I felt as if you were calling me an idiot. What I tried before should have worked, I don't know what I did wrong. Anways, thanks for helping me.
