[UPDATED]Applying THEMES in CODEROM.v* (2 or 2b)

This is a normal doubt which arises in the mind of the users that can they apply any coderom theme in Coderom.v2 or v2b. Many professional users know the answer to this question and also know how to do it. This is for those who dont know.
YES, you can use the same themes in this coderom version too. All you need to do is follow the procedure.
Procedure:
1. Go to recovery.
2. Flash this theme Coderom Default and reboot.
3. Reboot back into recovery after a successful boot (with or without errors).
4. First select 'wipe cache partition'.
5. Go to 'mounts and storage'.
6. Select 'mount /system'.
7. Now apply the theme as you used to do in other ROMS. i.e. flash the zip by choosing that zip etc etc.
8. Reboot.
Note: Remember that whenever you have to reapply your theme in CWM, always mount /system using the procedure before flashing.
The /system gets unmounted after each flashing of zip (as the zip itself has a command to unmount /system).

upgrading AR 6.1.1

How to flash: (Don't use ROM Manager! Flash ROM following the steps below
Download ROM and place it on your SD card
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power) In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script
Once again select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just to be sure:
I have installed AR 6.1.1 and want to install 6.1.5. I don't have to superwipe, right? Just copy 6.1.5 on sd, boot in recovery mode and choose the software?

Yes, you can just flash it over your current rom. Superwipe is a MUST if you come from version 5.x.x or earlier or from another rom.
Edit: It is recommended to clear cache and dalvik cache each time you perform a rom update.

[Q] Need help to install ICS

Hi Chiefs!
I am a newbie to rooting, planting, flashing etc etc however, to avoid frustrations from your end here are some of the first things that i have done.
I have read through the below links:
[cant post urls but its basically guides to rooting desire from xda forums]
I am using a Desire from Starhub in Singapore. I have recently upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.3 after which i realized that I should have not done that but anyway, now that it is done, I am now:
Revolutionary Now it is (Alpharev unlock)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Aug 10 2010, 17.72.18
I believe i should be able to install ICS now but when i download the ICS and rename as PB99IMG.ZIP and install it unzips and after parsing returns back to the hboot menu.
I must say confess that I may not have rooted correctly, because when i try and ls files in directories like cache, root or command I get permission errors.
Some help would be really appreciated, its just the sheer kick of being able to do it that drives me to post here.

You have to flash the zip-file from Recovery.
Check Tutorial(s) in Development-Section.

I tried that too sir .. but from recovery when I select the 'Apply update from SD card' it does not work, there is just a standard message 'rebooting with reason code' and something like 'unable to open /cache/command/...' and it reboots

nandroid backup first:
backup and restore -> backup
then full wipe:
wipe data/factory reset
then flash ROM:
install zip from sd card --> choose zip from sd card
(choose the correct ROM.zip)
'apply update from SD card' is something else.

First you have to partition your SD card. Go in the Recovery to 'advanced' and then 'partition sd card'. Choose 1GB EXT4 and 128MB SWAP... (all your files on the SD card will be deleted... maybe you have to secure them first). Then put the File with an SD card adapter on the sd (if you have one... if you don't have one and youre unable to boot complietly into the system, try without partitioning). When the file is on your sd boot into recovery...You have To choose 'install zip from sd-card' Or something like that... Then navigate To the folder where the ICS file is. Choose The file and here you are!!!

good point, though check each ROMs requirement if an ext partition is required. most will indicate a recommended size depends on how many apps you need, but most do not require a swap partition.
it's also better to use gparted to partition:
- backup your sd card first to PC,
- partition using gparted (search for a guide here somewhere)
- copy contents back to sd card, including ROM.zip
- nandroid backup, full wipe and install as above.

OK, looking at your help below i think i am sure that is something missing, and i definitely need help to figure that out ..
Firstly in recovery mode i dont get 'install zip from sd card' option.
I tried a full wipe and wipe data/factory reset, the zip stops at the same plc
BTW some other symptoms that gives me a feeling that i have not rooted completely or properly:
i installed SuperSU from chainfire and when i try to open it it says
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannotinstall it. This is the problem.
ROM Toolbox pro also says the same thing, 'failed to obtain root access'
ROM Manager also says that the superuser was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su
i am using a windows xp laptop to do all the circus. If it is of any help, chiefs dont have to worry about backup and / or bricking my phone

are you sure you can't see 'install zip from sd card'??? it's the 3rd/4th option down in the main menu when you first boot into recovery. how are you even installing the zip when you say it stops at the same place?

you probably didn't/haven't read all of the documentation, you need to flash superuser.zip. (flash the zip the same way as instructed above).
this however only roots your existing stock rom. you only need to do this if you want to backup apps and data (using something like Titanium Backup), and want to transfer them to a new rom.
whichever rom you end up using, DO NOT use ROM manager, it has been known to cause many problems with this phone, you don't need it.
check the rom thread if it requires an sd partition (most do), and set it up before installing the rom like i said above. also have a look at step 5 here

eddiehk6, you are right, I had never been to the this link for revolutionary ROM, i downloaded it from else where. After installing the correct this I understand what it means to have a 'different' recovery from the standard one that comes with the phone.
Most of the stuff went well after that including the installation of the latest ROM from sandvoid.
The problem is that after I restarted the phone after completing the installation, I see this "blue sparks flying from both sides of my screen to the center" splash, its been 10 minutes and how long should i let this go? Did i brick my phone? Argh! So close ...

ostyme electric
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! WOOT WOOT!
I just took out the battery and put it back and restarted to recovery mode, wiped dalvik cache and cache, (As usual super hasty and never RTFM) again!
Thank you all!
Time to spread the love of ICS!

Erm .. question ..
Where is my HTC Sync? I do see a process in there, but i see no option as to where i could "Sync calendar & Contacts", i upgraded my ROM from sandvoid 0.7

htc sync will only work with sense roms. i don't know what process you're seeing.
this is why we have gmail to sync contacts and calendar.
i know you're excited to have ICS, but remember it's still a beta rom, so there will be some issues as it's still being developed. you may not be able to post there yet, but you can still read the thread.
reading back i think you need to slow down a little. the key is reading, learning, understanding...before you do anything.
and google is your best friend , you can try it now to find out how to sync your contacts / calendar to gmail

Dang! NVM All hail Myphoneexplorer!! High time i donated something to them!

[Q] Rom Not Showing Up Under "Choose Zip From SD Card"

I'm attempting to flash the Paranoid Android rom but have run into a bit of trouble.
When I open Clockwork Mod recovery I select "Install zip from sdcard" followed by "Choose zip from sdcard".
At this point all I am offered is 4 options:
- 0/
-legacy/
- obb/
- +Go Back+
I have the paranoid android zip and gapps zip located on my sdcard.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike.

whats the best way to do that?
I'm new to this as you can probably tell..
Also, now that I have flashed Gapps and the rom I have been stuck in a bootloop for 15 mins, should I continue to wait or do something else?

I have tried pulling the battery and starting the phone again and also flashing the rom again but to no avail

Sounds like you didn't do factory reset in recovery
