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

[Q] Need help installing google apps on cyanogenmod

Hi,
I am new to rooting Android although I have had a ton of WM devices in the past.
I finally rooted my MT3G Slide and installed Cyanogenmod. However, I need Google Apps and cannot install. I have downloaded the file and placed on my SD card without renaming it. When I boot into recovery there is no place for me to select which zip to install, therefore it tries to install Cyanogenmod again. How do I install this, I need it???!!!
Thanks for helping a newbie (to Android anyway)

the process goes like this... you go into recovery from reboot menu on cyanogenmod right? then you select apply update.zip and if you are booting into clockwork recovery (wich is the only file that should be named update.zip on your sdcard ---> [get it here and rename it to update] then you should be able to select a zip from sdcard. then you just move around with the volume keys and select the file with power button, the file is named google addon mdpi something wich you can get here
I hope this helped, i explained as much as i could xD

Got it, Thanks!

[Q] How to intal MIUI on the Incredible?

After a solid 2 days of searching XDA forums and around the internet in general, I give up on searching around and want to know if there is a straightforward way to install the MIUI ROM that I have already downloaded. I have the ROM already on an SD card, and I figured I am just supposed to restart the phone and some kind of .bat file will automatically start running and itself the rom onto the phone. Well, that didn't happen.
How do I get this ROM installed?

use rom manager. find it in the market place

no? use hboot, and cwm 3.x wipe data/factory reset wipe cache, wipe dalvic,
install from zip.
If that doesnt make sense its time to read more about modding/flashing
additionally rom manager app is trash for flashing, only useful to create nandroid backups.

Some people prefer ROM Manager, I'm not sure what type of MIUI releases are avaiable through there, you might need to purchase premium which is a total pain.
It is overall just better with flash it through hboot and cwm3. Also... andorid/linux do not read .bat files, that's specific to window's OS.
Basically (I'm simplifying this, plus there's 500,000+ other posts saying the same info)
1) Root your phone
2) Install CM3 or if you rooted with unrevoked3 then it automatically installs it.
3) Download ROM of choice
4) Put that ROM on the root of your SD card
5) Boot into hboot (turn off phone, then hold down the 'volume down' and 'power on' your phone.
6) Choose install .zip from location, navigate to SD card and install
7) done

I may be wrong because I have an EVO but between 5 and 6 you need a step that says to choose recovery. On my phone you can't flash roms through hboot.

yesterday I flashed MIUI. I was doing it the traditional way, the way I always do. But when I tried to flash it in recovery, it just started to flash and stopped. I figured I'd do it in rom manager, it had the newest version, I told it to wipe data and cache, and I'm now running MIUI. It's great. Similar to iOS, but very much android. Netflix works, and battery life is ****ing incredible.

+100000000000000 to that, battery life is fuking incredible

battery life is the main reason i'm not going back to CM7. it's almost twice as good, and with the same features, if not better...

Stuck on installing ROM from SD card

From this thread
I n s t a l l a t i o n (if you are coming from another ROM):
1. Download ROM file and place it on SD card
2. Download and flash kernel you like (or not, if you have locked bootloader)
3. Download WiFi Modules of chosen kernel and place them on sdcard
4. Go to CWM Recovery.
5. Wipe data and cache!
6. Flash zip with ROM
7. Flash zip with WiFi modules
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Click to expand...

How do you do number 1? Does it litterally mean just place it anywhere on the SD card or do you somehow install it (with flashtools?). I've got a locked boot loader.

Plug your phone into the computer with the USB cord.
In the status bar of your phone you will see USB connected. Tap on the USB connected notification, then at the bottom tap Turn on usb storage.
Copy the rom on your computer, open my computer, select the phones SD card and copy it to that folder (the root folder)
With a locked bootloader you are unable to do number 2 (flash Kernel) so this particular rom is not for you.
If you don't understand, how to copy to sd card, may i suggest a bit more reading/study before flashing.
Good luck.
EDIT: #2 allows for a locked bootloader. you can install rom.

Thanks but you misunderstand my question. "Download ROM file and place it on SD card" well that doesn't do anything you just have the files sitting there. At no step does it say how to actually install them? Am I missing something?

You said you were stuck on point 1, that's been explained, now follow the other steps, if you don't understand them then read the guides and stickys.

Anywhere on SD.
+you need CWM to install that .zip, guide is written fine.

[TUTORIAL][Marvel/MarvelC] INT2EXT(+) (Stock + Custom ROM supported)

Hi everyone. This is my first (compilation) tutorial that I decided to make after reading a lot of tuts and not having them work for me until last night. Just to clarify, I'm running a MarvelC Wildfire S on a Sense-based ROM. Here are the steps to prep your phone for INT2EXT based off of multiple tutorials. Also, if you're on a stock/stock-based ROM, I recommend doing a factory reset of your phone before following these steps just to keep things clean.
In order to use INT2EXT, your phone must have:
1. d.init support
2. ext2/3/4 support
It must also be permanently rooted.
Credits: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459
Step 1: Preparing your SD card
Important Notes:
N1. If you are running a stock or stock-based ROM (i.e. using a stock kernel), your ROM only supports FAT32 and Ext2 for the second partition. DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SECOND PARTITION TO EXT4.
N2. You must be rooted (tutorial not included - plenty of working tutorials in this section).
N3. Do not mount your phone to follow these steps; use a microSD card reader.
Tools:
- Computer
- MicroSD adapter/reader
- Minitool Partition Pro Home Edition (http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html)
Make sure you read the important notes above before proceeding. If you have, proceed:
1. Boot up Windows.
2. Insert your MicroSD card into the adapter and attach the adapter to your computer.
3. Make a folder on your computer to back up the contents of your SD card.
4. Install Minitool Partition Pro Home Edition.
5. Run the Partition Wizard.
6. Look for your SD card along the bottom and find the FAT32 partition.
7. Right-click it and choose "Move/Resize Partition."
8. Change the value of the partition size until your "unallocated/free space" is around 750 - 1000 MB (this is how much internal memory I recommend)
9. Click OK.
10. Find the unallocated space on the new drive map, right-click on it, and click "Create."
11. Click "Yes" on the warning that pops up.
12. Choose Ext2, Ext3, or Ext4. Stock/stock-based ROM users, choose Ext2. I recommend Ext2 just to be safe for all other ROM users, in case your kernel doesn't support it. If you know for sure that your ROM supports Ext4, then Ext4 is fine as well.
13. Make sure it is a Primary Partition, not Logical.
14. Click OK.
15. Click the Apply button on the top left corner of the window.
16. Choose "Yes" to continue.
Let it finish. Then, step 1 is complete.
Credits: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
Step 2: Adding init.d Support
Tools:
- BusyBox app (make sure you use the normal install, NOT smart install)
- Terminal Emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm)
- Term-init from Ryuinferno (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426791)
1. Download Term-init.
2. Install BusyBox from Google Market/Play Store.
3. Install Terminal Emulator from Google Market/Play Store.
4. Place Term-init at the root of your SD card.
5. Launch Terminal Emulator.
6. Type: su
7. Grant SuperUser access if prompted.
8. Type: sh/sdcard/term-init.sh
9. Follow the on-screen instructions from the script that is run.
To check if it worked, reboot your phone twice and browse to your /data/ folder (using an app such as Root Browser or ES File Explorer). If it's working, you should find a Test.log in there. Congratulations, you now have init.d support and you're ready to set up INT2EXT.

Step 3: Flashing INT2EXT(+)
Requirements:
- init.d support
- sd-ext partition (ext2/3/4)
- 100 MB of internal memory for every 500 MB of external memory
Tools (choose ONE):
- INT2EXT: http://d-h.st/Fvz
- INT2EXT+ (recommended): http://d-h.st/Otj
NOTE: If you already have a A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT/M2SD script, you will need to remove it completely.
1. Download your chosen script above.
2. Place it at the root of your SD card.
3. Reboot into CWM (Recovery).
4. Select "Install zip from sd card"
5. Select "Choose zip from sd card"
6. Select "CronMod-****_signed"
7. Let the script run.
8. Select "Mounts and Storage" directory.
9. Select "format/sd-ext"
10. Reboot.
You should have INT2EXT on your system now (check your internal memory to make sure). If you have any problems or questions, look in the threads given at the credits before asking here. Also, here are a few other great tutorials on flashing INT2EXT if you can't get it to work following mine:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223190
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490607

A friend of mine has the Wildfire S and asked me to do something about the low storage. I will try this tutorial in a few days and I hope it will work It seems harder to do INT2EXT on that phone than it is on my old Desire ^^
Thank you!

It's not working for me. I ha a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i running Ace-I-Sure 12.0 ROM. Can you help me to finally extend the internal memory? Pleease!

...100% working trick !! Thanks a lot man

I guess no problem with the init.d script? Because I already make it work in terminal. This command is just to run the term-init.sh.
And i made it worked already.
The problem is with the script i guess. I read here in comments someone also complains about status 0 error.

Thanks for the tutorial!
I know this is an old thread. But I had to resurrect my wife's old HTC WFS to use while one of our phones needed to be repaired. I couldn't find a good stable ROM to run. Ran through your tutorial and it was just fine.
I did run into a "System UIDs Inconsistent" error after the last step and ended up doing a factory reset and all was well! Tried a few other steps before that like "fix permissions" and clearing caches etc. but in the end needed a full factory reset.
Great job! Love that we can got back to these threads!
Thanks thanks thanks!

Problem with buttons and wifi
This trick works for me great, but my hardware buttons (home, context-menu, back and search) are not working good. Also my wifi cant find any network. Can someone help me with these issues please ?

I found the most easiest way, no need to make unit.d by yourself.
So here the step
1. Flash this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143410
2. Make SD card partition ext 2 with your CWM recovery. I choose 1024 mb
3. Flash cronmod file just like this tutorial tell you.
4. Reboot, and now you have internal storage about 800-900 mb.
That's it
