ive searched the forums...ive searched google and even manual for the HTC One V and i cannot for the life of me find a thing on how to (or where to) install themes ive downloaded and installed onto the device??
help would be appreciated, i just cannot figure this out and im sure its prob easy too? :silly:
What themes?
There is nothing called 'themes'! Is there? If you're not using any launcher, then in HTC Sense 4.0, we have to go to the HTC Hub and download themes/skins (as far as I know). And if you're using a launcher such as Apex, you'll have to go to the Play Store and download themes and they automatically get installed! Then where's the point of 'where to install themes?'
If you've downloaded the APK Theme Files of some launcher, then you just need to copy them to the SD Card and run and install them. Then it will be displayed in the corresponding launcher. :^)
It'll be better if you specify the extension of the theme files you've downloaded and the launcher you're using.

Well, you cant install any 3rd party themes in the stock rom. For that, you need to be running on custom roms (like CM9 based roms), even then, the themes have to be resolution specific.
The only way to customize the appearance of your OS is via Settings --> Personalize. There are a bunch of themes available ( not very beautiful though.)
okay...now im really confused??
some say use a file explorer, soforth but you are stating it cannot be done??
so, i cannot install my themes at all??

pls be generous enough to share from where u got themes (dont say they are live wallpapers)
to get into sdcard use xplore file manager by lcg or the es file explorer .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to clear the confusion here,
If you are not rooted and are using the stock HTC Sense ROM without any 3rd party launchers then the only themes that you can use are the ones in the HTC hub.
If you do not wish to root but wanna install themes, i suggest you install Go Launcher, Apex or any other 3rd party launcher that is available in the play store, themes for these will also be available there.:good:
i think it was the play store i DLd to my PC then installed onto SDcard on device.
as it stands, it is using HTC stuff....i have no idea how to get a "launcher", i dont know a thing of "rooting"
i need serious help here! :good:

follow this link,
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&hl=en) on your pc
click the button "install"
once you click it, it will ask you for a gmail account
use the same gmail account that you have used on your one v (assuming that you are connected to 2g/3g or WIFI from your phone)
once it accepts the credentials.
the download will start on your PHONE, there is no way to dl an app to your pc via play store.
you dont have to worry about installing it, once it is dl'd it will auto install
try to learn how this launcher works, use it for a few days, if you are not satisfied then you can give other launchers a go using play store app from your phone or using your browser to go to https://play.google.com/store
Enjoy:good:

Its in the htc resources apk ..you have to be rooted because its a system file
or you can edit one of the themes, resign the apk and install on your phone

they are called Containers. they are located in themes under drawable-land and drawable-port
3 files in each folder
Dude you mind posting the signed apk with out them? I can't find my folder with my signing tool. I'm searching for what I used to use on the forums. Also I'm guessing to install you did it with adb install (or did you push) to system/app? ..mounted in recovery of course
you can download slidemeroot5 from eugene. her already removed bubbls in this build
I'd say your best bet without root would be to try adw launcher or launcher pro. probably the easiest route, anyway.
Like Mayormullet said, LauncherPro will do just want you want and give you a more useful menu bar. I can't live without it.
ADW will too, but I didn't like it as much.

Rip the .apk from a stock rom and then try and install it on the ROM you're using.
ok i'll try that. I'm not certain i know how so let me know if this process isn't correct...
Unzip the Rooted Stock 2.2 ROM
Search for carpanel.apk or somthing similar, then just move that to the sd card and install it.
Thanks. I'll let you know if this works!

Yup exactly...
For your convenience:
The HTC car panel
The other two are the google android car panel files (you need both)
I prefer the google one because it has a music button and works in landscape.
Let me know if I messed up and put the wrong files for any of them.
how exactly do you install that apk file after they are both on your sd card?

download astro file manager from the market.
This app allows you to browse files on your sd card.
Find those .apk files that you need to install.
and itll detect to install it once you launch them
***Side Note***
The first time you try to install an apk itll have a security/protection setting
Youll see what i mean when you attempt to open that file, itll ask you if you want to unblock ---> unblock by unchecking that box.
Thank you very much ! This was quite helpful my HTC desire.
Dude thanks! You rock! Seems that CoreDroid missed that element in their v8.1 ROM for HTC Inspire/Desire HD. I'll be trying this for sure.
Thanks for the links nhutpham, has helped out a family member who lost car panel due to the android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 updates.
Likewise, my Amaze (2.3.4, Sense 3.0) simply didn't have an HTC Car Panel app. This is a little old, but works fine. Hopefully Sense 4.0 with the ICS update will come with the new car app I've seen demoed at MWC this week.
Does anyone have the Pocket Legends APK released yesterday?
I would be so very thankful if someone could supply me with it since it is the only bloody app that refuses to download from the market.
having the same problems on my phone as well.
had my mate next to be download and install it but weirdly the apk doesnt exist in data\app or system\app....
but +1 i want the apk too
Can't he do a search for the .apk?
yeah we searched for pocket* using root explorer with no results. Unless you know what its called..
Get him to uninstall it, get the application installation tracker, reinstall and it should say shouldn't it?
he tried to uninstall it and it made his launcher crash. now it doesnt show up in his app drawer after he rebooted his phone. he went to market to uninstall there and now it will only download but not install. It just hangs at the installing status.
hes not too happy anymore haha...
This apk is impossible to find, even apps like apkshare won't find a trace of it.
Scratch that, I got it

nice!! thanks mate!
I'm still having issues with this. I've downloaded it to my Evo using Myn's rom, wont install. Donwloaded the apk from here, still wont install.. flashed CM6 and still no luck. Is it not compatible with the Evo or something?
It originally installs on the SD card, and is 40(!)MB, so make sure you have space.
Mine also installed 2nd time from the market, and it's fun to play! I'm happy to see and MMO finally on android, I was craving for one! A bad point is, that it seems you have to pay a lot of extra to buy +dungeons, items, etc. No good....
Really nice with BT Mouse and TV-Out this one!

I dont understand, what is so special on this aplication, that its not possible download it from repository of market. Other applications are downloading correctly.
When I press install, It seems that it will start downloading, but after few seconds apears download bar, where is nothing happening. I am user of Desire with Leedroid froyo rom. I tried clean market and download manager data, but problem is still there.
Do you have any idea how to resolve it?
Meantime can someone upload .apk file of version 1.5.1?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Ah yes, the game has been updated (to 1.5.1), the earlier APK is not usable any more. And for me it appears to actually download it, just not install it.
same to me...can't install the game from the market .
and i have the earlier apk version
Thanks for the download link!

pepo36: restart phone to recovery and reinstall CM from SD card. You will not lose any data.

I am looking to maximize my Epic Touch...I am rooted..and would like a rom that would allow 5 icons in the dock while sticking with TW launcher...also would like to speed up if possible...not sure what I am looking for. Would just love to get the most out of root access..any help would be great!
Look in theme section for tw 4.5 that is only tw that allows 5 in dock

just run the touchwiz launcher over any of the roms in the development section.
i personally like starburst but viper's is very good also.
that way you get all the goodies without having to add each individual component manually. just read the orig posts for each rom check out thier features and follow the instructions very easy.
then you can even throw a theme on top to change the look to your liking just make sure it's compatible with your rom.

Thank You!! I have rooted my phones before...but I still feel very insecure when it comes to some of this stuff. Not sure exactly what to do when it comes to adding themes and where I would get the tw launcher to put back on or if it would still be on!!
Thats exactly what I want tho..is all the goodies!!
both the roms and themes are easily installable
mostly it's a matter of booting into recovery (volume up + power)
and clicking install zip from sd card.
if you use your phone to download the file you don't even need a computer for the process.
as for touchwiz backing it up can be done a couple ways
any of these would work
1> before you delete it just make a backup in recovery
2> copy the file somewhere safe using a file explorer (i use es file explorer from market is free and allows root access)
3>just re-install the rom you downloaded it'll come with the launcher.
4>the orig touchwiz is posted on the forums and could be installed the same way.
most everything you could hope for comes with a decent set of instructions just follow them and you'll have no problems
