HI, i am new here and i found this forum very informative.
i rooted my evo but i cannot figure out how to install themes i found here so please help
also i cannot find goole search by voice anymore. where can i get it again and how to install it.
please help, i spent the last few days trying but i cant find instructions for the themes.
thank you
Most of the themes on the site are installed by flashing ( just like custom roms ), the only exception i can think of off the top of my head is the Gala S Theme ( my personal favorite ) which you can either flash, although it doesn't work with the latest nightly's for CM6, or use Metamorph to apply the theme, which does work up to & including last night's build.

thank you so much. but i do not know the steps to install a theme. metamorph would not work because it says there is no space ( somehow )
so if you know how to flash it in let me know please.
thank you for the quick respond
Which theme are you looking at? If it's flashable, drop it on your SD Card, boot into recovery, Flash Zip from SD Card, & go from there.

DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE
1. Drop the zip file to the root dir of your sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. select flash file from sd card
4. select the theme file and let it do the work
5. When it's done it'll tell you "install from sd card complete"
6. reboot

I can successfully install Roms thats I download through Rom Manager, but for some reason I cannot install Roms that I download online, put in my SD card and try to flash through Clockworkmod. The downloaded files are in .zip for and I choose to install zip from SD. When I select it, the screen shows that it is installing but takes only a second and doesnt flash successfully. I dont get any errors but for some reason the Rom just doesnt install. If anyone has had this issue or could help it would be much appreciated, thanks.
nevermind, i figured it out. for some reason the files would only work when i compressed them again. its weird but im glad i got it to work

change the setting on your mac (i know you did not say it was a mac but since this exact thing happened to me i know it must be one) to not "open safe files after downloading" in the preferences - general tab. that way you will not have to zip files again since they get unzipped on downloading.
Hi,
I am new to rooting Android although I have had a ton of WM devices in the past.
I finally rooted my MT3G Slide and installed Cyanogenmod. However, I need Google Apps and cannot install. I have downloaded the file and placed on my SD card without renaming it. When I boot into recovery there is no place for me to select which zip to install, therefore it tries to install Cyanogenmod again. How do I install this, I need it???!!!
Thanks for helping a newbie (to Android anyway)

the process goes like this... you go into recovery from reboot menu on cyanogenmod right? then you select apply update.zip and if you are booting into clockwork recovery (wich is the only file that should be named update.zip on your sdcard ---> [get it here and rename it to update] then you should be able to select a zip from sdcard. then you just move around with the volume keys and select the file with power button, the file is named google addon mdpi something wich you can get here
I hope this helped, i explained as much as i could xD
Got it, Thanks!
hi guys & girls,
i rooted my phone and installed oxygen-2.0.1 about a month ago but im getting a bit bored of that rom now so decided to change it heres where im getting confused?
i put my phone in recovery, done a data/factory reset
mounted usb so my sd card was synced dragged over the rom i wanted to try which RCMIxHD_v3.5 (as a rar file) then i renamed it to update.zip unmounted sd card then applyed the sdcard:udpate.zip let it do its thing then i rebooted.
all it does is reboot as a freash install of oxygen-2.0.1 what am i doing wrong
help would be great on this
im using a htc desire phone (forgot to add if that helps)
Put your new rom on sd card-make sure it is a .zip file-even though it may be associated with winrar,no need to rename it.
Choose install zip from sd card and then choose zip option to find the new rom ,then install it.(If it fails to install then toggle signature verification off)
Press back button and choose reboot system now.
If it's a rar file you need to extract the .zip file inside of course.
hi m8 thanks for the reply also twogubs,
when i try to install,
it starts to run and then hits me with installation aborted E can 't open/sdcard/blablabla (rom im trying to install)
(Bad)
due think it could be the rom im trying to install if so....
you guys got any pointers on some shizzhot roms,,, would be cool
After a solid 2 days of searching XDA forums and around the internet in general, I give up on searching around and want to know if there is a straightforward way to install the MIUI ROM that I have already downloaded. I have the ROM already on an SD card, and I figured I am just supposed to restart the phone and some kind of .bat file will automatically start running and itself the rom onto the phone. Well, that didn't happen.
How do I get this ROM installed?
use rom manager. find it in the market place

no? use hboot, and cwm 3.x wipe data/factory reset wipe cache, wipe dalvic,
install from zip.
If that doesnt make sense its time to read more about modding/flashing
additionally rom manager app is trash for flashing, only useful to create nandroid backups.
Some people prefer ROM Manager, I'm not sure what type of MIUI releases are avaiable through there, you might need to purchase premium which is a total pain.
It is overall just better with flash it through hboot and cwm3. Also... andorid/linux do not read .bat files, that's specific to window's OS.
Basically (I'm simplifying this, plus there's 500,000+ other posts saying the same info)
1) Root your phone
2) Install CM3 or if you rooted with unrevoked3 then it automatically installs it.
3) Download ROM of choice
4) Put that ROM on the root of your SD card
5) Boot into hboot (turn off phone, then hold down the 'volume down' and 'power on' your phone.
6) Choose install .zip from location, navigate to SD card and install
7) done

I may be wrong because I have an EVO but between 5 and 6 you need a step that says to choose recovery. On my phone you can't flash roms through hboot.

yesterday I flashed MIUI. I was doing it the traditional way, the way I always do. But when I tried to flash it in recovery, it just started to flash and stopped. I figured I'd do it in rom manager, it had the newest version, I told it to wipe data and cache, and I'm now running MIUI. It's great. Similar to iOS, but very much android. Netflix works, and battery life is ****ing incredible.

+100000000000000 to that, battery life is fuking incredible
battery life is the main reason i'm not going back to CM7. it's almost twice as good, and with the same features, if not better...
A lot of people have helped me during my time on the forum, so I felt obligated to do something to help someone else.... (and yes I know this is really easy to most of you, but I was lost and figured this could help other android noobs)
Note:I have an AT&T LG Nitro (P930) this is what I did, if you screw up your phone doing this I am not liable. If you have any corrections feel free to let me know
1. Root P930 and enable USB debugging
Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376857
2. Install ROM manager (available in Play store)
3. Install Clockwork Mod (option in ROM manager) and backup current rom
4. Download CM9 nightly from here (on computer)
http://get.cm/?device=p930
5. Download latest g-apps from here (on computer)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
6. Cut/Paste CM9 and gapps into root of micro sd card (not in any folders, just the first screen that comes up when you go to the card)
7. Go back to ROM manager and go to install rom from sd card and select CM9 (it should give you the option to backup and clear, I checked all three boxes)
8. It should boot into CM9, but you will not see basic apps, so go back to ROM manager and click "boot into recovery mode"
9. Select install zip from sd card and click g-apps
10. Click reboot
11. Success!
