[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] :
Did you replace the XML files from the circular battery thread in the framework? If yes, then that is the problem. You should only replace PNG files, don't touch any XML files.

Also in the thread you mentioned, battery charging animation has more pngs. You cannot use all. You can use only 6.

What you should do is extract the drawable-hdpi folder and have a look at the png's. Then replace them accordingly.

The best way to apply basians theme with the battery hack would be like this.

1. Flash stock rom

2. Flash stock modded framework

3. Update basians theme with the additional pngs for the batteries

4. Flash basians theme.

5. Reboot.

I am sure, you will not have problems if you follow steps.

Edit

: I can create a flashable metamorph update for you if you want me to, thanks to the awesome FuFu for showing me an excellent method to integrate metamorph into a flashable update.zip file. Let me know which battery icons you want and which theme of Bas you want to use.

Hey Basian, great work on the themes!

I'm using the latest version of the FroyoMOD. I've installed 3 themes (MattedBlue, HoneycombSJ2 and BlackandWhite2) and all of them give me this strange arrangement/spacing of the icons in the status bar...

As you can see the clock isn't even showing. Is there any solution?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] skadude66:
Have you changed the color of the clock in the FroyoMOD extra settings? I know that you have to do that for some of the themes.

Basian's themes only support 10% steps.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] Basian Mile:
Yep, in my Themes i have something like that: 0,5,10,15,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100. Mostly just: 0,5,10,15,20,40,60,80,100.

Totaly enough for me :-)

Original Stock Theme just have 20% Steps too. 1% Steps available with FroyoMOD Extras! Or you must use another Theme. I dont care for 1% Steps. Useless like a hole in Head!

Mate, do you know what you're talking about here?

"leaving 256mb of ram which is surplus for all games."

You do know that the Milestone only have 256MB RAM right?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Yes that's the whole idea. Since the whole android os is supposed to be moved onto the swap cache. Maybe 256 is a bit of a dream. Perhaps like 230mb left since the os is loaded onto the swap. Could poteintially work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
If the android os is cached to the swap space there shouldn't be much eating up the milestone's ram. But I need to figure out a way to enable swap which is bloody tricky because of that locked bootloader.

Hey, I am a complete and utter brain donor when it comes to this whole geek-speak rooting malarky.

Up until last week, the craziest thing I had done to my phone was changed the wallpaper and set a new ringtone from the Zedge app. I've had the phone for a good eight months or so!!

Been wanting to put a custom ROM on my phone for a while and I managed to root my desire last week and got the little Superuser App on my phone. I've been working through the Noobs guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

and I've gotten to the S-off part. And here I really come unstuck. I have attempted to go onto the alpharev website and I have no idea which out of Sense, Oxygen, Data++, Stock, etc I download.

The website itself, I dont even understand how to find out which one I am meant to download. Although, I understand that once I get the right one, its a fairly straightforward process of rejigging something on my laptop to read CDs before the hard drive, and plugging my phone in.

But anyway...is there anyone who can talk slowly and in complete base English so that I can attempt to s-off my phone? Cause I am completely useless.

Cheers!:o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Download this;

http://alpharev.nl/alpharev.iso

What your looking at is the type of partition table that comes after you have s-off, what u do now is flash the above file to a usb stick using this tutorial;

http://www.miui-au.com/installation/extras/alpharev/

Make sure u have a rooted stock Rom before beginning alpharev does not like data++ or d2w roms this one should be fine;

Anything u don't understand just reply to thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
After u have done that u will have s-off, if u want to go further u can flash the cm7 partition table.

Personally I just have s-off stock partition with reflex 2.0.2 with d2w script giving me 1gb of internal storage
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Also, you don't even NEED to s-off and tbh if you're a n00b I wouldn't bother until you actually need it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
True u only need it for the new gingerbread roms
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
If you mean on my phone currently I am running my standard stock sense Rom that was on my phone when I got it.

The only thing its been done is rooted it with Unrevoked as per that previous link.

Will get back to you about the rest when I attempt it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Genuinely don't have a clue about what one bit of that means.. :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
So what DO I need s-off for? And if I don't need it why is that guide tellin me to do it?

And chances are il prob want a gingerbread Rom at some point if that's the latest thing..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeon:
S-Off would be mostly to give you more internal storage, for apps, since you can change the size of the memory allocated to data

it's not necessary if you only want to use a new ROM

if you're going one step at a time, try a ROM or two before s-off

when you're feeling more confident, and settled on a rom, s-off and get a new partition table (because the table you choose now may not be the best for the rom you decide on in the future...)

in short; skip the s-off part for now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
But you can just use A2SD or Data2SD, S-OFF isn't needed for that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Why, let him do it as process itself is as straightforward as it gets.

Later on, changing hboot are three simple commands in command prompt he can do whenever he feels to.

True, but a2sd with dalvik on internal provided with hboot table manipulation is more efficient than a2sd+ and data2sd scripts.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
And what is a partition table? Another new one on me..

Ideally I want to do some cool stuff with my phone, maybe put new splash screens on it that other people have made of course ;), new roms, get free apps n stuff, n make use of my 16gb SD card..

Its more just I don't properly understand the whole s-off business in that guide, although the rest of t seems straightforwardish
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
You can also change splash screens and flash unsigned zips through

fastboot - useful if your phone gets screwed up and won't boot to rom or recovery!

I'm in agreement though, I did s-off a few weeks after root.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeon:
the internal memory of the phone is 437mb

this memory is divided into different parts: system(for rom etc), cache and data(apps etc)

this is basically the partition table; how much is allocated to what.

some roms need more space than others. some roms handle the cache differently (use sd card for it). people generally want to have more memory for data.

the way the desire is when you buy it gives 250mb to the system and 40 to the cache, leaving 147mb for data

if you use the cm7 table for example (found on alpharev site) you will have 302mb for data and apps. about twice as much as a desire straight out of the box

ok, if you want to change the splash screen you will have to s-off.

free apps can be installed without even rooting i think. making use of the sd card -> put music and movies on there!

on the alpharev site, you dont need to get any of the "data++" "oxygen" etc partition tables to do the s-off part. but you need to s-off to use them!

at the top, the "alpharev 1.8 hboot reflash utility" is what you need at this point

it will be a disc image. when you've downloaded it, burn it as per the guide and follow the video (which i havent watched.. so i cant say if it will be clear). you should now be s-off'ed

if you later want to go for a new partition table, find out what would work best for your rom... Though i think it's best at this point to find out which rom you are going to want for the long term, since wiping the phone and changing the tables and all that sh*t is very tedious.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Right, so basically the different partition tables on alpharev site like data++, oxygen, all just mean they will allocate a different amount of mem to your phone depending on what you want?

I've burnt it to the USB but I don't know if its done properly, there's an ALPHA zip file and some other stuff on my USB stick now so how will I know if its right n good to plug my phone in and s-off betc etc?

Btw thanks to all of you for your patience!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeon:
Well, to an extent...

Oxygen is a very small rom and uses the SD for cache(?), so you can have the large /data. But using the oxygen partition table for any other rom will result in the rom being too big for /system -> it wont work.

What you should have downloaded and burned will be something.ISO

Its not totally clear on the site, but there is large text near the top; " AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT reflash utility" click that to get the ISO

The zip files (data++ , cm7 etc) come into play after you've followed the video about s-off

What roms are you looking to try?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
I downloaded a ISO file and burnt it to USB stick as per the tutorial earlier. What I've now got is am ALPHA file and a couple other files here n there so is that it good to s-off?

Haven't decided on a ROM yet, not looked properly as I thought I could s-off first then pick my ROM whenever I got round to it as the phone would still work normally though it s-offed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Why don't you listen to more experienced members like EddyOS and just leave it well alone for the time being. Root is more than enough to try different roms and customization/modding.

It is easy to do it once you know what you are doing. BUT, if i was you, i'd just wait a bit till you get more confident with all the custom stuff.

Again, s-off is not a MUST!

What you are asking here is near enough step by step guide of how to do it, which is a clear indicator that you are not ready to do it.

Because, if something goes wrong, it's your fault, as you didn't mention something. He obviously couldn't sue you for that, but who needs the blame they don't deserve?

UberNoobster, i'm not saying that you are going to blame anyone if something goes wrong, but to me, if person recommends something, he is vouching for it hence takes responsibility.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaboobla:
I've had my phone rooted for like 8 months and I have yet to S-Off my device.

I really wouldn't recommend it for you if you have no idea what you are doing. Root is a good place to begin and right now you have the ability to customize your phone in many many ways.

Try out a new rom (may I suggest leedroid as a place to start.) Once you have a solid knowledge of the basics, then, and only then, should you make the choice if you should S-off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Ok thanks guys, and thank tinky and shaboola.

I see what you guys are saying, only reason I was gonna try to s-off was to get it done and dusted and out the road. But maybe I should leave it..

Do I still need to partition my SD card and take a nandroid back up and all that jazz when putting on a custom Rom, or do I need s-off for those things?

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeon:
Partition if you're running out of space on internal memory. There is no *need* otherwise. Make sure you backup the SD card if you do.

Nandroid backup, sure. Its pushing 2 things and waiting. Do it whenever you make significant changes to the system.

Good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
ok. So take a nandroid back up before I put a new rom on.

Put a new rom on and really all i need is apps2sd and that will put the apps and any music, photos, etc on my SD card.

Only reason to partition my memory card is if I want more space on my actual phones memory (i.e if I am putting on a new ROM that requires more space)?

Am I getting that right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Right...****ting it.

Did the nandroid backup as per that tutorial and it isnt turning on.

It is turning on and coming up with the HTC splash screen, staying on that, turning itself off, and rebooting and doing the same all over again....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Lovely bootloops.... :) what Rom did you flash? Also, you DO need exr3/4 for a2sd+.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Crisis seems to be diverted.

Took the battery out to stop the boot looping constant. Put it back in and put the phone on in Vol Dwn/Power mode. Went to recovery, and recovered from the back up.

Phone has now turned on and seems to be back to usual...

Did the nandroid backup work then or do I need to do all this again?

And if not, then back to my previous post... lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Didnt flash any rom.

At this moment I've still got my Orange network stock HTC Sense Desire ROM that I got on the phone, havent done a single thing regarding that.

Only did a nandroid backup and I assume it backed that up because I then recovered from that and phone seems to be working now.

So if I was able to recover from that, I take it my nandroid was successful, albeit with a slight hiccup?

And what is exr3/4?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeon:
If you ran the recovery and it works as before, yes the backup worked.

And yes, if you want a2sd+ you need to partition the SD card.

A2sd+ basically makes the phone think part of the SD is internal memory.

So if you run out of space for apps, a2sd will help you. It is, however, not a prerequisite for flashing any rom.

Ext3/4 are like fat/ntfs on your computer. Filesystems. Like the way the memory is divided up and read. Maybe like you could write an encyclopedia on various sizes of pages in varying sized books... you could organize it any way you like, but its easier to find something you want if the books are a&b, c&d etc!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Ok doke well reason I got a 16gb SD card was to put all my apps and some music n photos on it cause I know the phone can't hold much stuff.

So was just gonna stick everything on my SD card and have my phone just with my contact numbers and the odd bits n bobs stored on it.

So I will need to partition the SD card for that, using Gparted yeah? Even though I don't need the phone itself to have any more memory, I take it the app sort of fools the phone into thinkin the SD card is internal memory too and that how apps and stuff can be stored on it?

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaboobla:
If you have a 16gb card then yes I would recommend partitioning the card. Even if you choose a rom that does not use a2sd, having that ext partition will not harm or affect your sd card (aside from showing only 15gb of usable space)

Remember to BACK UP ALL THE DATA ON THE CARD BEFORE YOU PARTITION!

You can use Rom manager app (from the market) to partition a 512mb ext 3 partition, or you can use various software to make different sizes on your card.

I personally used gparted to create a 1gb ext 3 partition after my fat partition.
