Hello!
I am just getting the hang of everything here and now I want a Theme.
I have the OTA Stock ROM , just Rooted for S-Off
I am using Launcher Pro and I have customized the the Dock and all the Icon and Widgets now..
But I want more! Is it Possible to get themes for this or anything like this?
Still searching! Thanks in advance ^_^
Kyle
Also I have Metamorph Installed and I am trying to use that also , Assuming that is the easiest way? THanks!
Hey man, I just recently rooted, installed a rom, kernel and themed my phone. So i was in the same position a couple of days ago
If your read around here the main thing you will see when doing something to your phone is making sure you have a Nandroid back up. The link below will show you how to create one and it gives you some other helpful advice. That post really made me confident on moving forward with my rooting experience.

Follow these steps to the T. It will save u just in case something goes wrong.
Once you follow those steps you can move forward to selecting a ROM which will change your phones layout also making it possible to flash a theme.
ROMS

The OTA added wifi calling, wifi hotspot built in, and new kernel. There is no reason to use the pre ota, I'm gonna put a pre ota back up when I get a chance, just cause.
First of all, thanks for your work.
Question: I did not use this particular ROM but I did flash a stock G2 ROM - is there any way to get rid of the hideous G2 picture that is displayed during boot?

HAHA, yes, on stock android roms like this, if you go into you /system/media folder, you will see bootanamation.zip, replace that with a custom one.
I haven't been over to the theme section to see if any custom ones were made yet or not. You can make your own, just search these forums how. The directions are in g1 theme section for sure, u could prob use one from there, just not sure how good it will look due to screen res being different. Maybe try one from n1 or evo theme section...
New version plus universal theme template now up.
Can i safely root/install custom roms in a desire z that was upgraded to gingerbread?
I am completely new to rooting/installing custom roms to any android phone. i held out doing so because my original plan was to wait for the 2.3 update from htc. using the official update is a nightmare. i always have lags in messaging and the sense always restarts when i go back to the home screen. can i safely root and install custom roms in my phone? can anyone point me to a very easy to follow guide to do so? thank you very much.
tsk tsk tsk
dude... first of all: USE SEARCH FUNCTION!!! XDA mods have hard time maintaining the community and thousands (hundreds of) posts as is so any unnecessary posts should really be avoided.. back to thread..
Is it possible? YES! Is it safe??? No way!!!
As you can probably see in every single rooting/custom ROM flashing tutorial/guide - there's no such thing as "safe rooting/installation of custom ROM" and nobody will give you any guarantees there. ppl share their experiences but those don't necessarily relate to your (or any) other device in general.
if you mess with your phone - you must be mentally prepared for the worst, otherwise - don't do it.
there's a thread which already covers this topic

Just give the search a chance
thank you very much for your answers alcak4ever and QSchachi. i followed the link above and did it.so far im think i got it. the only problem is the download for the rom is slow.hehe. thanks again!
"Safe" is a relative term. Almost any phone modding carries some risk of damaging your device (brick, soft brick, etc.). But if you read up BEFORE you start, and follow the instructions carefully, the risk is pretty small. Just do the research, and understand the risks, and you should be fine.

Don't mention it. Just keep up with it. This is a nice device to mess with!
On the stock rom? I know other roms allow this, but has anyone came up with a way to do it on stock?
No mods out there for this? I will donate some cash if someone could make one, or be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction to try to make one myself.
most of the ROMS will give you the option to do this.

Yeah I know...I am looking for a mod so I can remove it from the stock rom...
Nova Launcher will do this for you on stock rom.
Yeah Im looking for a mod though, I prefer the stock launcher.
Well first off you won't find any mods for a "stock" rom. You need to be running a deodexed rom to be able to flash edited apk's. And I scanned the sprint section and didn't see a deodexed rom so even if you wanted to try to edit it yourself you would need to wait for someone to post one or deodex a system dump of your own and continue on editing to your liking.
Or just grow some big ones and flash a rom
good day.

I KNOW how frustrating it is...trust me, I do.
When people tell me exactly what I say "Hey, please don't mention _____. I know it works. I'd rather not."
But, honestly, flash a rom.
Not only will you have a BOAT LOAD of extra features...
But you can ignore them completely if you want.
Flash stock kernel/bootanimation...and you're back to that stock feel.
If you're worried about getting updates...you could always fastboot flash stock once 4.0.5 rolls out or whatever the next may be.
Thanks for the replies guys, I have already flashed four different roms..its not that Im scared I just prefer stock. I hated the stock rom on my old evo and had a different rom every week. I just really like this google phone as is (with the exception of not being able to remove the battery/clock )
Hi Guys,
I have a Note2 running on 4.1.2. I am not interested in rooting the phone ( as I dont want to lose my warranty ) but I am tired of the theme of the phone.
I had a look at the theme section of this forum but almost all the themes which I looked into were designed for custom Roms on rooted phones. I was wondering if getting a new theme on unrooted phone is possible and if yes, how..
Cheers,
K

It would be nice mate
in the mean time you can install nova/apex and install a theme from the market for these 3rd party launchers, that would revamp a little the stock look

I know flashing would be good..I used to flash my old cell..but since I bought SGN2, i havnt thought of flashing ( partly bcoz d interface IS good and partly coz of the warranty getting void)....but now with 4 months of warranty left, i've decided to leave it and will flash only after the warranty period is over.
anyways, coming back - i've heard great reviews of nova but people still stick to stock launcher as they say its as good as nova..I'll try nova and see how I find it...
Isn't there a single theme which would run on stock rom with unrooted phone??
Hello,
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) & I saw that there were no custom roms for it currently. So, I thought it would be fun to see if I could make my own custom rom for it. I was wondering where to start, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! Also, i'm looking to try to get a clean kitkat rom (like cyanogenmod) or edit my stock rom and remove some apps and change settings.
Lastly, I was reading that there is a problem developing for exynos 5 or something like that. Can someone explain on that to me.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Anyone???
I'm wondering the same thing,
How do you extract/decrypt the official firmware?
Followed some of the tutorials on the forum but didn't work for our sm-t520...
Here ya go.. There are some really nice guides in this forum..http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development
LoL how did I miss that one xD, thanks for pointing it out
Lets try that one...
I could really be without touchwiz.... Aosp or something, but I will probably just sell it and buy a new nexus 10 / 8, when they are available. The resolution was nice on this though.
Sent from my SM-T520 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Alright so i'm trying to make a stock unbloated rom for the sm-t520. However, I can't figure out how to get a custom recovery for this device. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
Edit:
Looks like I answered my own question =) Found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722900
Hopefully, now i'll be able to compile a debloated stock rom!
