Installing a theme with ACS Updater? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i used QBKing77's guide to get gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone, rooted + clockworkmod too. Now i found out about ACS Updater and wanted to know how exactly to install a theme with it.
In the attachment below, it shows all my info bout the phone and mentions EH17
and for the themes most of them say EC05... and idk if it will work on my phone,
i have no idea what im talking about so i thought id come here to ask.

You have to use an EH17 theme...no EC05 themes. There may not be many...let me check....

There are two themes for EH17. HoneyComb Fusion Explosion, and Maddoggins lockmod itself has a theme(not sure what to call it)

[REQ] ASOP Lockscreen and Keypad

Any chance of the ASOP Lock Screen (possibly the black one from the viper rom) for my stock froyo??
also the black keypad with the white #s from his rom aswell.
any chance of a flashable zip for these?
would it be possible to apply these to the stock froyo or do i need a rom??
how about just an all black deoxed dialer??
As I understand it, the builds are different so the framework is different, so the mods for those builds are specific to those builds alone. You can always try, but I would imagine there would be issues. Also, themes only work on rooed and deodexed framewrks so if you are "completely" stock then they won't function.

I'm on my phone right now so posting links ain't gonna happen and I apologize. Look in the development section for roms or do a search. There's the Syndicate rom from ACS, Epic Experience from shyzopunk(look for is di18 version), Androdena from n00ble. Those are the only ones I can think off of the to of my head there's also a stock but deodexed rom from n00ble and a deodexed template from dreamsforgotten in the theme section. The Syndicate rom has the aosp lock screen built in but once you pick a rom do a search for dk18 lock screen our check out my theme thread. The emotionless beast for eclair as I have it as a addon in the op

Yes you can flash n00bles stock de odexed rom and flash the aosp lock screen. If your worried about loosing data I've herd you don't need to wipe to flash his rom over stock but you can look for dreamsforgetton template. His template deodexes your system with out wiping anything. But before you flash any thing please do your self a favor and make a back up with cwm

Through CWM flash the zip in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814789&highlight=theme+template
This will leave your phone as is and deodex (merges your .ODEX files into the apks in both system/ and framework/ so you can any theme) your current rom.
Secondly flash this from CWM after:

That is the direct link from MysteryMotionz Emotionless Beast theme for DI18 download of JUST the AOSP Lock Screen.
The dialer I'll leave you to find one you like.

Jamice.... Just read the title of the thread. It says FOR EF02. He is requesting a leaked EE03 theme to be ported to EF02.
i forgot ee03 was deodexed by k0nane/ACS and ef02 is odex stock
should be a deodexed ef02 up tomorrow for easy ee03 theme ports

It should be fairly easy, EE03 might have the same exact framework files (like EB13 --> EC05), but there's always that possibility they aren't compatible. I'm really liking EF02, I may port Honeycomb Fusion to it. (maybe)

Srf 1.2 and themes

What themes are compatable with srf 1.2 and genocide on eco5.
I guess I don't understand, in the apps and themes section some of the themes say eco5 meaning I should be able to use them. So for example the asc honeycomb fusion explosion says eco5 but it says I need a rom that is deodexed, I am a noob what does that mean?

Well, I don't know the exact definition but most of the ROMs are deodexed to allow sustom themes and modifications to be added. I don't believe you can add themes to Odexed ROMs. I may be wrong here but you are definately good to go on SRF 1.2
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
All roms are deodexed except the bone stock touchwiz rom. Most, if not all ec05 themes will work with srf 1.2 but never assume. If you want to try then make a clockwork backup before you do anything.

Yeah, only stock ROMs and the leaks are odexed as far as I know. Always have a good nandroid just in case. It can save you a lot of headaches if you get a bad download or data corruption

Srf 1.2 also requires the lockscreen mod fyi.. but I think all the themes have it by now. Also deodexed means the .odex files are removed. What that means? I hve no clue.
Cd's or tapes?

Aah..good point Schnowda! I would get the ACS Updater app also. All of the EC05 themes on there will work for sure. Probably good to avoid any theme released before SRF 1.2 just to be safe

WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
THEN COMES DEODEX
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.

EI22 ACS ICS v5.1 and touchwiz 4

I just flashed my stock EPIC with the ACS ICS ROM and i'm loving it!
Has anyone been able to use TW4 on the EI22 ACS ICS v5.1 ROM? I want to use the GPU acelleration tha comes with TW4. I haven't tried it yet but just want to make sure before I load it.
I've been using TW4.5 from tbe i9000 forum. It works good aside from a few bugs. Landscape mode doesn't work, and you alphabetically sorting of apps doesn't work. Other then that flash away.
Edit: when I say landscape doesn't work, it is just when you are sitting at the homescreen.

[UPDATE][ROM] tFC14_v0.1.1 Rooted. Deodexed. Themed.

First of all I would like to than all the amazing devs in this community because without them we wouldn't have all this fun.
I'm not taking credit for anything but putting this together.
This rom is based on Calkulin's stock rooted deodexed FC14 and he deserves all credit for it.
The status bar icons and some other colors and looks are from Tiffany84 and she should be credited for that.
Kernel comes from Team Rogue FC07 with CWM and credit and our thanks goes to them.
v0.1.0
ICS themed. (Thanks Tiffany84)
1% battery icons (Thanks Tiffany84)
Themed Settings.apk (Thanks Tiffany84).
I added some build.prop tweaks for battery life, smoothness and speed.
Build prop has been tweaked for
*deeper sleep for battery save.
*net.tcp's for faster 3G
*proximity sensors for less black screen after call
*telephony for faster call
*tweaks for overall responsiveness
and some more.
This rom has been flashed over FC07 without wipe and it works well.
Nand back up is always a good idea so do the back up so you can go back to your current settings if needed.
Running it for 3.5 hours. So far seems to be bit snappier (may be placebo effect).
Didn't have single GPS signal problem.
What has been tested:
1. Call in/out
2. Voicemail
3. Camera photo
4. Camera video
5. GPS. Seems better than FC07
7. WiFi tether for root users. 3G/4G (Did upload this rom using it). Set device as Nexus.
8. Notification sound.
4. Works.
More results will come as soon as more tests are done.
Installation instructions:
1. Download rom zip file.
2. Download modem zip file (optional)
3. Copy files to root of your sd card
4. Boot into recovery.
5. Do a NAND back up (optional but strongly recomended).
6. If you still running any GB build flash/apply Calkulin's format all zip. This step can be skipped if you running ICS builds. I have tried flashing this rom over 4 different ICS roms and never had any problems.
7. Apply rom zip in recovery.
8. Apply modem zip in recovery.
9. Boot to system.
I'm uploading 2 versions of this rom:
1. With Rogue repacked FC07 kernel for those of you who want to keep CWM
2. With stock kernel (no CWM recovery).
Download rom here:
1. http://dev-host.org/0Pr with Rogue FC07 repacked kernel with CWM recovery.
2. http://dev-host.org/ksZ With stock kernel. If you flash this version you will loose CWM recovery.
Update tFC14_v0.1.1:
1. Updated theme
2. Striped down
3. Bloatware removed
4. Rom lost about 30 pounds (30 MB ).
Download tFC_v0.1.1 here:
http://dev-host.org/Elv with Rogue repacked FC07 kernel
You can download file direct to your phone with dolphin browser. Stock browser doesn't support mobile downloads from these sites.
FC07 hotspot hack works but it has a small hick up.
Hack will flash to files to framework folder replacing existing once. After flashing it power option from power button are gone. Long press of power button will iniciate reboot without giving you any options. You would need to use quick boot app (included in rom) to power phone off or to boot to recovery. If you still want to use native hotspot download hack from here (thnks crowjr and necroscan for it):
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?d17svttegjbaabq
WiFi tether for root users works fine just have to set the device as Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE as with all ICS builds.
I tried to incorporate the app into rom but it wouldn't work after flash. So if you don't have it you can download it from here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
You would need to flash modem separately.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548244
Flash modem after you flash rom and you should be good.
Screenshots are same as in my previous roms. You can see them here:

Notification sound works.
Notification stays in status bar untill you go there or in case of email until you read it.
I was getting a lot of notifications from my email about new posts in forum threads and after I was reading email on my PC notification icon would disapier.
You should give it a little time to sync with your email account again.
SMS would stay there till I read it.

That's the beauty of this. You don't have to add a theme. It's already baked in. Agat's FC07 rom had Tiffany's theme baked in as well and it ran great and looked great. The ICS4ICS theme always seems to break something. Tiffany's only does the dialer, status bar, and MMS I believe. She posted an FC07 version of her mini theme, too. I flashed that on Calk's tweaked rom and it didn't give me or anyone else issues that I know of.
Edit: You didn't say which Calk's rom you flashed ICS theme on, but if it was the new FC14 I could see how that could cause issues.
ok if im on calks fb27 and want to flash this...how do i do it?please step by step as i just got this phone and still learning,i come from an htc evo 3d ,htc evo 4g and htc hero...so im completely lost with sammy here,actually i had an nexus s 4g but that was pretty simple flashing LOL..Thanks.

There are actually pretty good instructions in the OP.
If you haven't got root and/or don't yet have a custom recovery (to do NAND backups) sfhub's sticky (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728) is a pretty good place to start... beyond the autoroot, sfhub has also made a fabulous set of one-click ODIN solutions (see his sig). Get comfortable with all of that and you should be a long way to figuring out the sammy way
Thanks for quickly providing this rom.
I've read lot on our ics threads, and I hear of the critical importance of odin'ing a gb kernel repacked with stock cwm to be brick-free flashing ics roms or even wiping cache, especially with installing cm9. But here and with calk's thread, I don't see the same absolute requirements being mentioned as much.
Is everyone just flashing this rom with fc07 rogue repack? Or are people odin'ing back to gb? ICS tw roms don't brick with ics kernel/recovery?
Just wanted to see how others are approaching it. I'm on calk1.1, but I'm considering running agat's. Thanks.

And another note.
I don't know if adrive supports mobile download (don't see why it wouldn't but you never know) and that might be the issue as well.
