Recently I tried to install darkys 8.0 rom onto my epic 4g. Everything installed correctly and was in my phone (after searching my internal memory and os ) to my suprise at boot my phone would only flash back and forth between samsung sand samsung captivate screen. Did I instal incorrectly or will darkys 8.0 rom not work on epic. And if not is there a rom similar to darkys I can put on my epic ????

Before someone jumps on your back, I'll tell you that questions go in the General section.
And to answer your quetion, captivate roms don't work on the epic. There are too many differences. I don't know anything about darky's rom, but if you're looking for something with a lot of black, try midnight or viper.
There's also both of my themes. The mysterious beast is all black and grey scale while the emotionless beast is alot if black with colored icons

If you're using that ROM just because of the theme, you could also try taking the images from the framework-res.apk and putting them into whatever Epic compatible ROM you decide to flash. I won't go into all the details here, but with a little adb command line ("adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk"), unzipping of the apk, copying and pasting of the necessary image files, you can theme your ROM similarly too or exactly like darky's (be sure to "adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/" when done).

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.
Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.
Thanks

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.
well it looks like i installed a theme that is not compatible with my rom, and my phone did not turn on to the OS again, so i downloaded a theme that is compatible with my rom, install it on DHD, and my phone comes to live again, that's the good thing.
the question is, do i need to uninstall the old incompatibe theme, or simply it was removed by being replaced with the new one?
is there a ay to go back to my stock sense theme, sine i dont like the new theme?
thank you all for the help
well, i'm running now the revolution DHD theme, but want to change it, back to stock or something decent with no lots of extra colors and change, i searched the forum and found the sticky themes thread, a theme named "MattedBlues-v1.6-Sense3.70-Jan20" download it, install it, but after that nothing did changed in the theme appearance, revolution DHD still there and no matted blues look, it didnt take effect, any solution, did i make anything wrong? any way to revert to stock theme?
any suggestion or help plz?
just to list my rom is RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
first i would like to thank Mike Channon for moving the thread to the Q&A section.
to update my problem, i 'm still on the DHD revolution theme, i realized that my camera, gps and wifi are not working, the camera make a FC always, videos are not playing.
i dont like the notification status, phone dialier and all icons.
please help me finding a theme that will give me back the original stock sense look, that comes with my DHD including:
-notification staus icons
-phone dialer canvas
-stock gray menus
-same connectivity drop down menu
...
i spent all the day searching with no luck, please any help in this issue is much appreciated.

just so you know when I did a barebone rom for UnNamed I went in and got rid of extra languages extra ringtone Kies and fonts. Now thats when brings it down to barebone in my opinion. You need to find one of the old school original barebone roms that were put out and see what has been removed and duplicate it on the EL29 rom of your choice. I cut out about 75 -100 megs

This is probably the best rom based on the stock build already optimized, tweaked and ready to go. Download 3 things from the OP on that thread, the 'format all', the rom and the bare rom converter and you should be good to go.
If you get tired of the stock look, you can find plenty of themes around or use a third party app like Go Launcher that has plenty of downloadable themes.
There are plenty of pre-themed roms available out there based on stock as well.
Naerok rom thats it I just remembered he was the base I used for my removal party... Its all up to you OP when I decided to go barebone I wanted everything removed. Most of the scripts I see just remove system/app stuff. Also there are threads that say whats safe to remove in our phones if you are worried but once again I believe they are all system/app files
Hi all....first up, I can't find a Q & A section in the gal W forum....so I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this.....
I've read elsewhere about people clearing battery data when installing a custom ROM. Having recently installed CM9 (in preference to stock GB) should I have done this...or would the wipe and install have taken care of it.....does this need to be done when flashing new alphas (in my case I went from CM9 alpha 7 to alpha 8). Will it cause problems if it's not done, and on the flip side, what are the benefits of doing it?....
Thanks in advance.....Keith

Not on every alpha. Clearing battery data is needed everytime we flash another rom. This is needed for our battery to show the battery calculation to be more precise and accurate. IMO. Correct me if i'm wrong

My former 4.2.2 rom allowed the display of chopperthedog's mashup theme's larger pngs for status bar icons. I am now using an AOKP rom, and would like to use them again. I don't know if it is possible to hijack them from 1 rom into another, or where to find a version of his theme, nor how to install it. I have always used stock or no themes. I found his theme in a zip and flashed it, but my gnex wouldn't boot with it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Help a noob.
Ooops, just saw your pm on rootz. Those theme zips were from the ics days which is why you went into a bootloop. I really haven't done anything with themeing in about 6 months (I'm still on 4.1.2). Back in october I putzed around with making some theme engine apk's for myself. I think the theme you're thinking of is the old geezer mash up that I helped zaphodbeeble with. I did pass along an apk for the geezer mashup that zaphodbeeble did post on rootz. But I left it off at 4.1.2 and it does work on 4.2.2 but the toggles and a couple other newer 4.2.2 elements are not themed.
*edit* ahhhhhh you must have been running sourcery (I had heard some of my icons ended up in that rom). I'll pm you a link to the mashup apk.
good day.
