[Q] Need Help Porting a Theme - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'am trying to port a theme from the Evo Forum and I have an issue with the market. After I modified the framework and the vending.apk the market is themed and semi works. What I mean is that it opens and its searchable, but when I click on an app it force closes and even when I try to click My Apps in the menu button it force closes. Does any one have a clue to what I'am missing or what I did wrong?
I have more Issues but Its just a matter if time for those since modifying what goes on resource.frameworks.apk to twframeworks.apk. As soon as I am done with it I will post it in the Themes Section.
Here is the Original post from the Evo section made by "Slayer69"

Change theme of Android build on Diamond?

Hi all
I have recently installed Android on my Diamond, and is the Android built by Cyanogen.
I wonder is it possible to change the original theme please?
I have read some threads, and seems like changes themes in ordinary Android phones require rooting.
So does the same apply to our Android on Diamond please>?
Many thanks
I tried to apply simplistic 1.1 using superfroyo rc2
But the themes requires cyanogen 6 and so caused the phone app to crash each second and i wasn't able to press reboot and apply theme button in metamorph
Maybe the problem was because I didn't used cyanogen

haven't tried it yet...since I am using SuperFroyo now, and I have installed quite a lot of apps, so need to find a way to back them up first.
By the way, have you read this site ever? Think he is one of the guy who creates the themes.
http://ultralinx.blogspot.com/
And what I am trying to say is, what he has done is in fact using different wallpaers and widget on desktop, like SwitchPro, BattStatt, Genie Widget,, etc, and the dock bar, he is simply using MnmlText, which you can find a similar one called SimplyText, and I guess u can download this simplytext for free, and change the icons on dock in LaucherPro preference.
So all I am trying to say is, we can still generate the same appearance with little bit effort, like change colors, wallpaper and icons manually.
(My opinion only, surely the guy might have put a lot effort on the theme.)

If you are just looking for the files Higgsy has posted them for download. But if you are looking to learn the process hopefully someone can point you to a good source as I want to learn this as well, but haven't had time to look yet.
Go to the development section, and look for the post with something like China 2.2 ROM with everything working. Then scroll down the post, and it will show you how to deodex using Higgsy.

[REQUEST] Stock Launcher

I wanted the stock epic 4g launcher(or a great modded 1) im running EI22 & i couldnt find it im a noob to this so plz be patient with me... any help would greatly be appreciated
Look in the i9000 forum for a modified tw launcher. Or if you like themes and are rooted, install the heinz 57 theme.

You don't install it. You push it to system/app directory with root explorer. Then reboot and then you will have that launcher as an option unless you already set one as a default. Then go into that launcher in manage applications and clear defaults.

[Request] Stock Samsung Apps

Hey guys!
I just flashed CyanogenMod 7 on my Ace, but I'm missing some stock Samsung apps, like recorder and notes. Can someone point me where I can get them, or how can I extract them from an Odin-compatible files? (I have them here, just in case)
Thanks!
First of all u should have posted this in the general section [ I think ]..a moderator will move this thread to general section soon....
Coming to ur question ..its not possible to install Samsung apps (the app store) or any other app downloaded from it..I think its bcoz of the framework ...cm7 has a diff framework ...u can find some replacements for stock Samsung apps in the Android market aka Google Play store...cheers

I don't want Samsung Apps app, I just want Notes and AllShare, maybe Energy Economy
I managed to open the Odin files, I'm just installing the apps I wanted to see if they will work.
Btw, sorry for posting in wrong section!

Yeah, just copying and installing the apks don't work. It doesn't even install. Gives me an nice "App not installed" message.
Anyway, all that I most miss is the Notes app. I've searched for some others in the Store, but none were as minimalistic as the stock app was. Can someone point me to some app that will be as closest as possible to the stock app?
And, one more thing, no way that I'll go back to the stock rom, CM7 is WAY better!
Did you try do put into /system/app? Also, I think you need the tw framework.

Installed using Android Commander as System App, but didn't worked. And, sorry for the noob question, but, wth is tw framework?
It's the touchwiz's framework, needed by some stock apps.
Oh yeah, now I get it - tw and touchwizz.
How do I "install" the tw framework?
You need to push it from /system/framework and put on your CM7 and set the permissions.
It will not mess with CM framework? And what permissions do I need to set?
