general question.. i'm trying to find a way to install a scripting language on android (eg ruby or python), but it seems like most of the apps at least in the play store are more for messing around within the UI. i'm looking to install ruby natively and write some scripts that run in the background. any ideas?

Hello I'm new to android. This is my first smartphone.
I had an ipod touch before , but that wasn't as confusing and complex as android is to jailbrake or install themes. Android overall is a very confusing system. It was very easy to theme and jailbrake my ipod touch.
I have been googling this question for some time and im still confused
My questions are:
How do install android theme?
Do all themes work for all phones?
Do you need a program to install themes (go launcher ex? what is that?)
And lastly are themes made for specific roms/phones.
Thanks.

Themes will be in a cwm flashable zip that you put on your sdcarx and flash in recovery.
Themes are very specific to the phone and rom that you are using. Sometimes I theme designed for one rom can work on another rom but that's certainly not guaranteed. Themes from a different phone will never work.
As I mentioned above, you don't need a specific program to install themes you just need to be rooted, which will install cwm on your phone.
You can find themes in the themes and apps section of this forum.

I just installed this amazing and fast rom :cm7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569895
And installed the Mate theme for ADW, so your saying that i don't need any launcher like ADWlauncher to install a theme? What the difference?
By the way the themes that come in .zip are complete?
Okay there's themes for the whole rom and themes for just the launcher. Themes for the launcher are found in the market and are only compatible with that launcher. Those will only affect your icons and app drawer. Themes for the rom affect your menus, status bar, etc. Now cm7 handles themes a bit differently. Cm7 themes are also found in the market (search for cyanogenmod themes). Once you download and install a theme you want, go to your app drawer and open theme chooser then pick the theme you downloaded and then reboot. No need to use recovery for cm7 themes.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense now
1 more question:
Do the zip themes that you need to flash in recovery don't use extra ram?
Example go launcher or adw launcher run on top of the system, while zip themes patch the system files so there is no extra service running. Is this true?

That is correct. All they do is replace the images with new themed images. No extra services running.
Hi,
I'm a new one here. I wonder if anyone can answer my question. I just got my phone rooted and installed a custom rom that I made through Android Kitchen. I'm now trying to add an app and make it start whevener the Android system starts.
Thanks in advance!

You can use init.d script if your rom supports init.d. If not there are several apps on the market such as autostart root, tasker, llama, and probably others.
Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?
You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this
guys i want to know if you can enable android multiuser in any android emulator bluestack memu or whatever? and how to do it?
Android multiuser is not part of BS5 because it's not full android, but you can open instance manager and create new separate emulator instance. I think that's what you want.
if you want full droid look in this WIKI
I want to install an iOs Theme because I feel it more fluid, but i noticed they all got removed from the Theme store, searching iOS you can't find anything related, not even icons, or how used to be, my iOS themes i had saved are gone, 've tried to install .mtz third party themes through different apps and they work but after a while they disable by themselves and my phone back to default theme and that's super annoying. My phone is rooted so I ask, there is a way to install an iOs Theme with magisk root or something like that. It seems the mtz themes (apply me ones) through themes store app are not fully working or working right. Or it detects them and disable them
How about substratum or hex?
The solution of this is using MIUI Theme Patcher by Kashi, a module for magisk https://github.com/Mods-Center/Miui_Theme_Mod
Thanks to the ones that tried to help me.
