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.

OK I spoke too soon....well....still TY, but it didnt quite work. LOL
I flashed it, and the icons all changed, but none of the backgrounds did. Do I need to set those somehow or should it have done that??
Sorry im so noob!!

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?
resolved. Close thread

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.

I looked in the first page.. there is no such fix about fixing the phone booting into clockwork recovery when you turn off the phone. I'd lovea link to the page in that thread were you posted the fix.
edit: OP here is the recovery you were looking for 2.5.1.3 correct?

You led to me links on the first page of an ancient thread that have no use because they dont work. and the first link only leads you to download the latest recovery. But here's the best part, your link you had in that thread doesn't work anymore. How cool are you?

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?

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.

Fantastic. Thank you
Okay, so im running kingsrom unleashed 4g, and its great i love it. Tired to flash another rom today, elite III. Preformed backup, flashed format_all zip first then was gonna flash elite III next like it states. But now after flashing format_all zip it restarted the phone and now its back to kingrom and its in safe mood. For some odd reason its not letting me load into bootloader so i can flash the next step. And whats really ticking me off is that rommanager is not working. Ive installed and uninstalled countless times and it wont let me open. Does it have to due with being in safe mood. Please help me , need someone to fill me in. Thanks for you time.
I'm confused in regard to your post. Anyway, to get to the bootloader, power off your device. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen and then you'll be shown a set of options. Viola, you're at the bootloader screen.

Take a breather. And I feel like the problem is from him not disabling the function in applications/development that enables the 'fast' reboot.

Nothing at all. Then after mmm 45 seconds of holding it down i let go, it boots up, quickly too. Im not sure if its because of Kingsrom or what ( on the fast boot that is).
What about fastboot? (Vol up/Power)?
I'm no expert here, but I think you may want to try running the RUU form your PC if that doesn't work, go back to stock and start over. I'm sure someone will come up wit ha better option, but if it was me, that's what I would do.

Never a problem. And you can still use rom manager to fix permissions, if you get a whole bunch of force closes on apps for no reason.

I was running fresh as my rom. I then wanted to try Synergy as my new ROM. It installs, but when i reboot, it will just stay lock on the "HTC Evo 4G" splash screen.
I even try to reload the fresh rom and others as well, but nothing. I can get into the recovery screen fine, but nothing wants to work once i install a rom and reboot. please help and thanks in advance.

Make sure you're using amon_ra recovery as clockwork doesn't play well with synergy. Also make sure to wipe everything 3x.

OK i installed amon_ra recivery and that worked fine. I also wipe everything 3x as you said; however, when i try to install the rom, it installs. When i reboot it, it will stay stuck on the splash screen.
If you're trying to install Synergy RC2 Godmode, you might want to try just regular Synergy RC2, the Godmode version has been hit and miss for a few people.
I haven't been following the Synergy thread for a few weeks, but last I DID read, didn't the Godmode version supposedly take like 45 mins to boot or something like that?

I would leave it for 20 min every time i try it. I also try different roms, and they still do the same thing and get lock on the splash screen.
My brother has a Evo also and his took 5 min to get out of the splash screen.

I don't know, but, tbh, try MikG. It's really almost the same thing as Synergy. Very few real differences and I had better performance with MikG than I did Synergy

As for synergy and other 3.0 roms, it can go up to 8 minutes on the splash screen, due to the size of the rom and re-building the cache.
every time i repack the boot.img (doomkernel v11) it does work but loses recovery for some reason...
anyone have a solution for this???
Why r u trying to re-pack it??
Everything is in it and working fine, I'm sure the only things u would need to do to it can be done thru the phone once it is flashed, or at least using adb??
im trying to change the splash screen to the sony one... the one used on the sony ics roms
I've looked into that, for myself, and it is one of the hardest things u can do, everything has to be EXACTLY right with it all, sizes and hashes, and if its not u will get errors. I gave up in the end, and just put up with the DooMLoRD screen, its not really that offensive is it?? lol.
i didn't say it was bad... it just didn't match with the theme
