theme installation NEED HELP

HI, i am new here and i found this forum very informative.
i rooted my evo but i cannot figure out how to install themes i found here so please help
also i cannot find goole search by voice anymore. where can i get it again and how to install it.
please help, i spent the last few days trying but i cant find instructions for the themes.
thank you

Most of the themes on the site are installed by flashing ( just like custom roms ), the only exception i can think of off the top of my head is the Gala S Theme ( my personal favorite ) which you can either flash, although it doesn't work with the latest nightly's for CM6, or use Metamorph to apply the theme, which does work up to & including last night's build.

thank you so much. but i do not know the steps to install a theme. metamorph would not work because it says there is no space ( somehow )
so if you know how to flash it in let me know please.
thank you for the quick respond

Which theme are you looking at? If it's flashable, drop it on your SD Card, boot into recovery, Flash Zip from SD Card, & go from there.

DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE
1. Drop the zip file to the root dir of your sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. select flash file from sd card
4. select the theme file and let it do the work
5. When it's done it'll tell you "install from sd card complete"
6. reboot

Micromax a87 ninja 4.0 [ rooting / ram increase /hd gaming mods /driver solved ]

MICROMAX A87 NINJA 4.0 [DRIVER SOLVED / ROOTING / RAM INCREASE /HD GAMING MODS]
HI axai here...
i bought this fone ninja 4.0 that came with a ULTRA VIBRANT 4 inch WVGA 480x800 display that is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the display of optimus black which claims to "outshine the sun"
this post is for the MICROMAX A87 [superfone ninja 4.0] users.this post will deal with..
1)rooting your device
2)increasing your RAM using 3 sure shot techniques to work
2)Enabling HD gaming to play nvidia TEGRA games like samurain 2 vengence, and mid level HD games like asphalt 5/6, driftmania and many more
to root your micromax a87
you need the drivers installed... and to get the method to clean installl the drivers not the old sdk and drivers.zip method follow this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33071477#post33071477
[ROOTING]
switch on your internet connect [not needed but preffered]
step 1:
now to assuming you followed the above post and drivers installed download unlockroot and install
make sure usb debugging is enabled in your phone.
go to settings/application/development to enable the debugging
step 2: connect the hone to your pc and run Unlockroot
step 3: click on root button
bingo!! you are rooted.
you can go to market and update your "superuser" app.
[INCREASING RAM AND SAVING PHONE MEMORY]
TO SAVE PHONE MEMORY:
in your phone applications and select preffered install location as SD card.
[TO INCREASE RAM SIZE AND PERFORMANCE]
step 1:
once rooted go to playmarket and download busybox app.... and use the app to install busybox latest version into your phone.
step 2:
download the attachment i gave called speed boost and install the app on your fone.
on your home screen add the speed boost widget.. its like a button and is very handy.
a click of this button frees ur memory ur fone actualli becomes amaxingly responsive with low lags
step3:
[This step may degrade ur memory card life..above two steps will sufficiently free your ram but this technique will give u that extra mb of ram apart from your phone ram using swapping technique]
Download an app called "swapper" from market and install
open the appp and grant the app permission [better to select remember this decision] for then if you have a 4 gb memory card...
select "active swap on boot".
enter the size in the box as 600 mb...make sure u have 1 gb of freespace on your memory card all the time. (if u have 8 gb cards u can use 900 mb too but make sure u have aroung 1 gb of extra free space on card)
click save..
Now itl take some time and you must have patience and wait...do not click anything because it is creating a swap file on your memory card.
once done deselect "active swap on boot".
click save and close the app..
again open the app, grant permission if it asks.
now select "active swap on boot"...it should show a message enabling swap.
NOW YOUR MEMORY CARD WILL BE USED AS 600 mb EXTRA RAM WEN U NEED IT DURING PLAYING HD GAMES WHAT I WILL TELL HOW TO IN NEXT SEGMENT.
Step 4:
DO THIS STEP ON YOUR OWN RISK....I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY>>>ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT DO THIS STEP ELSE SKIP TO NEXT GAMING SEGMENT..
[ above 3 steps will give sufficient ram to play games but this is one extra step you can do if you want ..can help you to recover more ram by DEFAULT]
install "root explorer" and download the "hololauncher.apk" and copy to sd card.
open root explorer and click on "mount R/W"
go to "sdcard" folder and go to place where you placed holo launcher.
copy it and come back to root folder and go to system/app and paste it
long hold on the file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
in the same folder search for "MLabsLauncher.apk"... cut it and paste in in ur sd card...as a back up...
MAKE SURE U DO STEPS PROPERLY ELSE UR PHONE WILL HAVE TO BE FLASHED WITH STOCK ROM AGAIN..
NOW here we removed the default mlabs launcher by micromax that keeps running no matter what and uses 13Mb!!!! of RAM...and user a lighter ics clone "hololauncher"..
[HD GAMING ON A87]
assuming u followed the previous segment till step 3...i.e swaping process....now we proceed to turn the ninja to a gaming device..YES!! all HD gaming u need...
step 1:
Download and install CHAINFIRE 3D pro ....you will get the pro app after the google search just copy the .apk from computer to sd card and then install on your phone.
step 2:
there are 3 zip files inside the drivers.zip file...copy the 3 zip files to your root folder of sd card...
step 3:
open Chainfire 3d and in that select "CF3D driver" and select install driver or search driver....it will automatically search and install drivers
step 4:
to play a HD game.(ex: asphalt 6) install the game and open chainfire 3d.
go to "per-app openGL settings"
scroll the list and find the game (ex: asphalt6) and select it
ul get a menu...with default settings ticked....untick it and
select the following options:
"reduce texture quality"
"reduce texture size"
"disable mapbuffer emu"
"hide CF3D id"
thats it.... you have succesfully turned your MICROMAX A87 NINJA 4.0 to a HD gaming device (with a few lags at time) but hey better than NO GAMING ryt??!! and you have increased your phone RAM size "virtually"!! and you have increased your phone speed!!!
Remeber after closing games....click on that speed boost widget on your home screen twice or thrice !!
and in the games are crashing....open swapper...disable active swap and save...then again enable active swap and save... click widget twice...
I tried the game with few lags:
SAMURAI 2 VENGENCE
ASPHALT 5
ASPHALT 6
Drift Mania 2
Drift Mania
Raging Thunder 2
Battle bears
SkateBoard Party HD
NOVA HD
NOVA 2 HD

-A.X.A.I
Speedboost , chainfire3d pro and its drivers are attached below..

Can you clarify these doubts?
Hi axai, nice tut on rooting and increasing ram on the phone. In the gaming section, however, I have a few doubts. Namely:
1. in step 2 you told that "there are 3 zip files inside the drivers.zip file...copy the 3 zip files to your root folder of sd card..." I don't have a root folder on my sd card... should I create it?
2. I copied the 3 zip files on to the sd card (not into any folder on the sd card itself). Whn i clicked install driver in Chainfire3d, it gives me a warning that my phone may or may not boot. I'm scared if it doesn't boot, it'll mess up my phone . Did the same warning come up for you?
Will you please answer these questions I really want to play samurai 2: Vengence on my phone but am scared to install chainfire 3d driver because it gives me the warning message.
Regards,
Sam

Boot screen stuck after successful root
I have followed the above tutorial and have successfully rooted my device. Everything worked like a charm....even installed superuser 3.0, busybox and swapper2 from playstore. Everything was working fine until i rebooted the device. When i restarted my ninja a87, it stuck at boot screen showing logo and :Superfone|Ninja4.0"
I tried to get into recovery several times, which seems finely working, though i though it may be corrupted, hence reinstalled it via command prompt from tutorial given here=>androidforums.com/a87-all-things-root/620430-flashing-stock-recovery.html
Everything seems same, and no change in boot stuck, i tried to flash the rom given here=>androidforums.com/a87-all-things-root/624879-flashing-stock-rom.html#post5017556

2. first tried to "apply update from sdcard"
3. It gives me option => Yes-Install /sdcard/update.zip

Hehee, I guess so.

download the "update.zip" which is the root file, from the main root thread, then put it on ur internal storage, while ur phone is off, keep pushing volume up,home button and power button, when phone lights up just remove the finger over the power button and wait, strange mode will appear like the pics on the thread of rooting, tap over the menu button "touch sensitive button on left of home button" then ur recovery mode is working , now press volume down to to select apply update from sdcard then push home button to enter ur choice "navigation through options is done by volume buttons, touch screen isnt working" then apply ur update.zip file then from main menu choose reboot system, when ur phone wakes to normal mode just look for superuser icon (if u have it then ur rooted)

you don't want read carefully... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
don't worry it happens me too, sometimes even if you do the right things the process don't go well
format your card in a pc with FAT32 format and retry to do the backup... if something is wrong you must reinstall CWM (how do you install? with odin or with terminal mode?)
as you can see even if the things are simple... you must read... guides or threads don't be important... you must read
I hope you can solve yr problems
edit: and please be patient... don't touch anything when the phone is still making backup or flash any custom rom/CWM... wait the result it show in the screen before touching any key

dont format ur sdcard from ur phone, instead, plug ur sdcard to ur pc and check if it is readable (may or may not be readable) if its readable then u can salvage ur very imp data (dont copy the whole sdcard just ur imp data only) to ur pc then format ur sdcard
press thanks if i help you

It's nottt readable.

I have the same problem with my first CMW flashed: 6.0.1.2
I download and flash it with odin... the backups are even corrupted or simply not good...
I decide to flash (with odin too) another version (6.0.1.9) and then it works fine...
don't desperate... try to download (for me it's better with pc instead directly with the phone) another version of CWM or simply the same... it is possible do you have a corrupted file
reinstall it (with odin or terminal mode) and retry to do a backup
first of all as you can read above format the SDcard in a pc with FAT32 format and set "predefinite" the allocation unit size

Yeah I had that before, try formatting from phone then from pc, I don't remember what I did but I think this fixed it.
Why did you post three different posts in the Q&A section talking about the same problem?

@[NUT] created this fix ...

[B]Follow the instructions...[/B]
FOR ROOT[Half root]:
use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529561 to root ur device
now download and install Busybox X [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete&hl=en] or http://d-h.st/JLM
now open busybox X and click install..after some time it will say..success..now ur phone got busybox installed
till now your phone rooted and busybox installed but u will be having reboot if u try to edit system app..or mounting RW in system or link2sd,gl2sd reboot on mount..[some says this as Half root]...follow next for reboot fix[full root]
FOR REBOOT FIX [Full root]:
u should use the busybox X for this fix to work...so dont miss the above procedure..
http://d-h.st/fbt fix by [NUT] and huge thanks to him..
Download the above package, save it somewhere you remember
Unzip it somewhere you remember
Run the install.bat file and choose the supersu app..
Follow the instructions on command prompt..
Done!
Upto this strictly for M dual user...
the guide below can be used in any android device
Guide to use SD card for storing apps and Games
FOR storing apps:use LINK2SD:
Get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
first guys XM/Mdual dont support ext4....please format ur sd 2nd partition to fat32...then u can link the apps....or else u will endup in bootloop...
use mini partition tools for windows...its easy to use...and easy to create a partition....
and connect your phone with MSC mode to PC for partitioning with the mini partition...which will in settings/xperia/usb connectivity/usb connection mode..
see here http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
and follow the procedure in that site after 3rd step that is backup sd step in that site....[dont try to use that method of rooting...its not for m,just use guide for Creation of partition] ...
and how to link all given on above site...so now we can link apps which is going to be stored on SD 2nd partiton
FOR storing Game data and how to play game:use GL2SD:
get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
Guide:
first whatever game u need to play...use some website to download them ...bcoz u wont have space required in internal sdcard if u want to download from playstore...
so i assume u have downloaded the game apk + data from some website....and u have extracrted the zip or rar to somewhere in pc...
1.copy the apk to sdcard1...[Note:sdcard1 is ur external sdcard]
2.see the data folder...
mostly data folder has game name inside them mostly android/obb/game name/ or android/data/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure will be followed and
some gameloft or reputed company will have their company name/games/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure for games
3.now if it has .obb format file inside the above given structures...then copy game name folder and place them in sdcard1/obb/ [eg:sdcard1/obb/com.rockstar.gta3/xxyyyy.obb]
or if it has many folders and files inside the above structure....then copy the game name folder and place them in sdcard1/data/ [eg:sdcard1/data/com.rockstar.gta3/]
4.now install game.apk from sdcard1 and open gl2sd
5.click mount [the joined chain symbol at top] and click play the game...if u didnt see game on list ...just open setting go down and click recover list
6.if u download some medium size game like 250mb directly from playstore..then open gl2sd and click top right button and choose move data and wait till it moves data] after that ur game data is stored on sdcard1 ....now play with same step 5
7.if game didnt open or cant play or some error...restart ur phone...and repeat the 5th step...
8.if game work..cool but remember to unmount[unlinked chain on top] after u finished playing games..or u cant paste anything in sdcard1
[Note:To run game you must mount after every reboot and unmount if u r going to copy some files to sdcard1]
if u cant understand what i said about gl2sd
see this video..maybe it will help u.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLQgWyYIXQ
now u can mount any app or game to sdcard1...

nope...its for 4.1.2....dual has 4.2.2 we cant use it ...
but now we can use gl2sd for games and link2sd for apps...
dont worry there are peoples working for the swapping...it will take time..till then use the gl2sd,link2sd

From what I have understood, vroot installs more then just supersu, which makes it a bit shady: I advice to use KingoRoot instead.

Or try kingoroot with phone in flight mode and Windows firewall in block all mode. Then after rooting remove the app from Windows and restart firewall...
