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?

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?

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.

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?
I downloaded the apk file, have tried to put it in different directories, but I have had no luck actually installing it on my phone. Can someone guide me on this path...?

Download it to your SD card (root directory), reboot into recovery, and flash the zip just like a ROM. You may want to wipe your cache and dalvik first, some people say it's a good idea. Don't wipe data, obviously.

Dude, c'mon really? Have you read anything in this forum? Two of the biggest threads in the dev section are about kernels. They are marked [KERNEL], and they have all the info you need. Check those threads out and if you still dont know how to "flash" an OC Kernel after reading them, then i would recomend you not try... Good luck!
Just a heads up, not many people will answer a question if it is something that can be easily found in this forum... Also not reading will get you the "Google it!" response more often then not.
EDIT: Sometimes you get lucky and run into people like SilverZero........

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.

Lol....cheech, you have much to learn young padawan!!
First, I believe you can't flash themes over stock roms, only deodexed roms will take themes. The stock rom is odexed.
Second, whatever version of clock work mod you used as a recovery must be compatible with the rom/theme/kernel/ect you are going to use.
Three, sorry I can't break it all down for you, but I'm still learning, just read about what you want to flash before jumping in and burning the house down.
Oh and stay away from rom manager for now, unless you want major issues...
One last thing and I don't mean to sound like a ****. If your not willing to read and research, your going to inevitably run into issues, major issues. I read for weeks before I did anything and its nearly impossible to put that into one or two paragraphs. If you don't feel like reading I'd tell you hacking your epic or any phone for that matter is a terrible idea.

Well heres what happened. (I have a new thread out so this is just a copy/paste)
just installed CWM 3.0.0.5 and now my Epic is frozen upon reboot! It keeps going to the SAMSUNG black screen and wont move from that.
I reboot in recovery mode and get to the CWM menu but cant do anything from there, cant wipe device, cant remove anything, etc.

It sounds like you used CWM 3.0. Which converts to EXT4 (for filesystem type). You will want to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700
and then this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067 and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android And THEN use the SEARCH TOOL * as you should have before asking* to see if you can find th problem within he thousand or so threads in the epic 4g part. Good luck.
Check out my how to video thread for visual help! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009997
WAIT. You DID install clockwork mod 3.0. Did you read a single guide? The stock kernel is NOT compatible with the EXT4 format. Therefore you HAVE to flash a kernel that is. (search it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612 read the steps and you should be fine (as soon as you flash the right kernel). Oh, and you should download and flash SyndicateFROZEN ROM. Just a friendly suggestion.
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU to take your phone back to stock or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Et6qVGdo&feature=channel_video_title to put on the syndicate rom now that you have upgraded clockwork. qbking77 videos are awsome and if they help think about a donation so he keeps providing more.
