[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
The big difference in swapping from one custom rom to another is not the method of flashing but do you need a clean phone to install a custom rom on top of another one .

My personal choice is a fully wiped phone before installing a new custom rom .

Methods CWM or Odin mostly CWM as thats the major choice for devs .Kies is not a rom flash tool .

Choice also gives a better recovery option .

Villain on top of or below Cognition both use same flash method via rooted CWM flash .

The problem on this forum is not three or four choices but a complete refusal by many to even bother reading any instructions .

[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
Hi, you get used to these ***** after a while :)
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
You have to change kernel at the end of flash on Villain which I suppose isnt the same but is still a difference in installation process

what about touch extreme, whats this about then?

Make sure you got CF Root CWM (not the clockworkmod root) go into CWM, flash zip file, done! its that simple!

PS. some roms out there installs through clockworkmod, not the one by Chainfire, in those cases you must flash Chainfires Root with his version of CWM first!
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
So let me see, it says flash the .zip with CWM.

So... Lets turn phone off, turn phone on holding volume up, center button and power button, wipe data/factory reset, and then flash .zip from SD card.

All of a sudden it magically works.

PROTIP: They're talking about the CWM app, which you don't need, every ROM still has clockworkmod recovery installed so rebooting with volume up, center button and power button will always let you flash the .zip file.

Kernel files should always be flashed with Odin if you are flashing them seperately since it gives better security. Even if they have a flashable .zip.
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
It may seem like there are a hundred different versions of CWM recovery but they're all based on the same thing; CWM. They all work on the same premise of copying the zip to the phone and then flashing. Some have integrated apps, some don't but the basic premise remains. The other option is Odin/Heimdall but as one is .tar based and the other is .zip there shouldn't be too much confusion here :)
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
what does this actually mean then?

"Make sure you got CF Root CWM (not the clockworkmod root)"
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
I have flashed all three roms using the exact same method .

Changed kernels four times this week using CWM .

Revived one bricked phone using Odin .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
which kind of proves my point really, if they all do the same thing then there is no need for them and no need to stipulate their usage, it just makes flashing more confusing for noobs.
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
No, there is only 1 method for ROM flashing, CWM. Every ROM has CWM, CWM is the end all be all for you, no matter what different apps do, they all use 1 method CWM. CWM CWM CWM. Stop being dense and read up before posting dumb factually wrong claims.

Every single ROM can be flashed by holding volume up, center button and power, how difficult is it to grasp this concept?

Here this video should help you.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
I've only used cwm, and it worked fine for all that i tried. Seems ok to me.
[Galaxy S II General] bruce258:
Just few cents:

I m also a noobie but wants to clarify what I understood as follows:

FLASH USING PC- for ROMS with tar package, Odin route is best way. Also a better way to clean install a base ROM/official ROM. AND using cf-root kernel is the easiest way to root. And a plus point is CWM manager app is also installed.

FLASH WITHOUT PC with CWM recovery - for ROMS with cwm package. (These cannot be flashed using Odin). This is a more versatile method. One just choose the zip file to install.(these can be kernel/rom/mods/themes etc)

FLASH WITHOUT PC with CWM manager- (needs rooted rom with CWM RECOVERY) this is the beauty of CF. One can flash similar to CWM recovery but using this app....so much noobie friendly. Only disadvantage- one doesn't have the advanced options. (But do have options to boot to recovery /download modes and this does not increase the binary counter removing the pesky triangle)

Common to a successful flash is wipe data/factory reset/wipe dakvik cache when the rom is new/wipe version /different rom. Non-wipe usually does not require this. The usual reason for this is to prevent fc's.

So its a choice of what one is comfortable with AND also the way the DEV package their ROMS.

personally I use CWM manager after cf-rooting official firmwares/Odin packages. I had flashed multiple kernels (ninphetamine/hardcore/James bond etc) in a base rom....multiple roms with same kernel!!!!

Cm7/miui requires a different CWM recovery approach.

I just want to convey this message that a single method of flashing rom is not feasible due to 1)different method of official nandwrite 2)different packages due to specific need and 3)differences in level of android experiences
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
Hi, even taking into account the differences you mentioned I don't agree it cannot be done, but many thanks for your input.

D
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
There IS a single method, you CAN flash any ROM with CWM Recovery, why do people not grasp this?
[Galaxy S II General] bruce258:
No you cannot. Official firmwares are not CWM packages,hence you cannot flash with cwm recovery. You need odin. And especially true when you need repartition (.pit file).

You can flash most of the custom roms/kernels through cwm recovery brcause MOST of them are cwm packages.
[Galaxy S II General] bruce258:
And also you need to start with odin to flash the cwm recovery!!!

Ps: have you ever ask youself why we have this odin packages in the first place? And why flash cf-root with odin first? Or insecure kernels? .....now can you grasp what i m saying? :)
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
CF root isn't a ROM, it's a root method, for root you need Odin, for any custom ROMs you can use CWM, fact. You can even flash stock ROMs.

Yes you can use Odin but you don't have to.
[Galaxy S II General] bruce258:
Hey you need to understand this from a noob point of view. I agree with these. But the fact is - for someone new its going to be more than a single method.

And yes as one advances one can built cwm packages of official roms/extract zimage for flasking kernel/ or built update packages using boot.img,system.img etc etc

The point i was making was for someone totally new to android,one cant just summarize by saying "all by cwm recovery".

Now @darky n @leomar are doing something more friendly for noobs- install everything through an app.

Powerful users will know how to flash insanity rom,devnull rom ,cm7 etc and realise the full power of cwm recovery.

I hope i make myself clear..;)
[Galaxy S II General] bruce258:
And oh btw i amnot THAT noob.

I m on lleomar2.3 with ninephetamine rom undetvolt 200-800mv, 200-800mhz......and all flashed using cwm manager.

Have tried cognition,villian, insanity, devnull.......and waiting for stable cm7(hates miui)
[Galaxy S II General] motorsportgod:
Hey man dont be such an ass! Im in his boat.... Cwm is easy enough to use but what firmware or kernel should we start with before flashing a kernel with cwm.... Does that base ever need updating ect? He asks a reasonable question it seems you are to angry to actually understand what he is asking. Please let someone else answer. Your not helping.
[Galaxy S II General] tshoulihane:
It seems that the problem arises because the kernel and the recovery are one and the same (ish), and not all ROMs have root pre-installed. There are generally good reasons for these small differences, and I feel that it could be better documented - some of the guides say 'must be done like this' to avoid having to explain too much which maybe doesn't help the people who know a little more than nothing (from a different phone maybe)
[Galaxy S II General] akusokuzan:
In each of the dev threads there are detailed instructions how to flash the rom. From what I understood from OP, he wants one way to flash everything, which is the "standard". CWM is that standard and the reason why seshmaru is mad is because devs take time to make instructions how to flash the roms, but users don't always seem to follow those instructions.

As he stated earlier, simply reading of the first post in each thread provides users with enough information to flash the custom rom. Chainfire's thread talks about his version of clockwork mod, CWM vs the one available on the market ROM Manager (information can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399)

If new users would just take some time to sit down and read ALL RELEVANT THREADS rather than rushing into things and messing something up or posting "how do i flash this" in each of the topics, people like seshmaru wouldn't be so mad.

I understand that flashing roms is daunting the first time around, but without reading each thread thoroughly and following instructions posted by the devs, you'll get nowhere.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Wow, its really really hard to read a few posts in the rom you are trying to flash, geez :rolleyes:

Modems: odin (You can do it via the app CWM, or via clockworkmod recovery mode if its in a flashable zip, or you can use darkyrom 2 tools from the market to flash the modem.bin)

Kernels: Via odin (stock roms mostly) or via the CWM app if your rom/kernel has it (normal way to get it is to flash the CF-root kernel) or via clockworkmod recovery.

Roms: Stock via odin, custom via CWM app (if you have it) or via clockworkmod recovery (comes with a custom kernel)

The only real difference is that some roms come with a kernel (and sometimes a modem) inside one big tar (odin) or zip (CWM) and some dont, so sometimes you have to flash a clockworkmod kernel (OHNOEZ).

Do you need someone to come hold your hand, and make sure you are allright.

This is a bloody developer forum, and we are all lucky enough as users to have access to there work.

tl;dr Cry less, read more :)
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
As is becoming more usual here, more vitreole than informed helpful opinion, another penis bursting to ejaculate their bile onto anyone who just doesn't happen share their opinion.

Please feel free expunge yourself from this adult conversation, its tone and content are clearly beyond your childish capacity for compassion or cognizance.
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
nobody is saying that flashing is impossible, just getting a little more fragmented in how you actually get to the point you press "install from SD".

this thread was just an observation really, I personally have no problem with flashing but it certainly wouldn't hurt at all to make things easier for everyone. Its all down to the devs at the end of the day, if they like it this way when it will stay this way as we get what we are given and are not entitled to make any demands of them.

I appreciate your thoughts on this though.
[Android Themes] Dirk:
I actually downloaded this from market a few days ago. I'm glad to see a thread appearing here though as i'd not seen it mentioned before. It's very good work btw and what i would consider a happy medium between the iphone look and the Android look.

I do have a few unchanged icons after applying the theme, and the same after the recent update:

Wallpaper Set & Save

Alarm Clock Plus

Google Books

Car Home

Desktop Visualizer

CM Dev Tools

CM DSP Manager

CM File Manager

CM Theme Chooser

CM Videos

The convenience of being able to apply a Launcher theme, rather than individually changing icons one at a time, makes this an A+ app in my opinion. Thanks for the great work. You should add a donate button to the OP!
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
Nice to see that somebody is using it :) I worked today on some new Icons and somebody else requested already some CW Icons. The Problem is that I don't use CW and the Android Laucher Pro Activity Library doesn't have the Apps in.

Car Home ist fixed, Books will come in the next Update and I think I have also an Icon for the Visualizer.

But for the CM7 Apps, can you do me a favour. Just click on your Homescreen and hold, than choose the top one should be application or something ( in German Anwendung ) and than click on Activities -> scroll down to the App you want -> click on it and tell me the first name ( hopefully it is the first name, sometimes it is one in the middle and therefore I have to logcat it ).

If I have the names I can do more.

Can I submit a request for a Solitaire MegaPack icon?

The first activity name in the list is com.tesseractmobile.solitairemulti.SolitaireActivity.

I also didn't see anyone request an icon for the Bible app.

Other than those two and the aforementioned Alarm Clock Plus, every app I have installed has an icon. Much appreciated.

A NEW Icon Pack is ONLINE

2.3 includes 1450 Icons and 57 new Icons. Yeah I know its big, but people asking me about more and more Icons and this is the price we have to pay. There is no other option with LauncherPro.
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
FIRST OF ALL

I will change the Maps Icons in the next Version back to the old ones, realised how ugly they are.

SECOND and the MOST IMPORTANT ONE

I am getting still Emails, Market Comments and more about Users which are missing simple Icons like

--> Browser, SMS, Phone, Email and so on

There are in since the first version, but the problem is that different devices have sometimes different versions of them and they have different activity names.

HOW CAN WE SOLVE THAT

If you are missing one of these essential Icons, just do the following ->

1. hold you thumb on the Homescreen in LauncherPro so that the popup appears

2. click the top one which will say something like "link an app" sorry in German it is different

3. the next options will have on the 2nd position something with "activity" just click on it

4. search for your Phone, Browser, or anything where you missing an Icon

5. click on it and the activity names will appear

6. just copy the first name, or if you want all, here to this topic and I will include them in the next version

hopefully we can support it on as many devices as possible
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
YEAH

A new Update is Online. A couple of new Icons for a lot of Apps are included. We have now more than 1500 Apps Icons, and even more Files :) Changelog at the first post.

Have fun with it

It's a very nice theme but i have 1 question. At another pack i can do this : touch an icon on the desktop -> edit -> select icon -> adwtheme iconpacks -> and here i can select what icons i want. Why we can't do this on this theme ? you can do that? maybe we want to use an icons for another program than you made it.

thanks.
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
I would like to implement it, but I done this through a LauncherPro tutorial on his Website and there was no Information for Adw, SORRY

NEW UPDATE 2.5

Hi,

This time only a small Update. The Community isn't in a mood to make some Icons and I done around 5-10 Icons for the new Version. Tried to recognize some of the wishes, but it will on with the next updates.

Have fun with it;;;;

P.S. I am working on a Go Launcher Ex Theme Port, but this one is way more work and to identify all the Icons takes way more time, specially when you have 1500 Icons :)
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
Its DONE

WOW what a work, it takes so much time to add Icons to Go Launcher, but it is way better and looks great

lets have a look

still hell of a work to add, find, define 1500 Icons because they have different names like in the Project Vexillum
[Android Themes] TweetyPeety:
SORRY Guys, is it soooooo difficult to activate this ICON Pack. I have now 16 times 1 Star because User saying they can't activate it. I also getting once a week an email from a User who can't activate it.

BUT most of the time the Users don't know that LauncherPro has settings ( HOW COME, all the best stuff is in there and without it is a lousy Launcher ) and what happens nearly every second time, the User has GoLauncher or doesn't have LauncherPro installed and searches for the ICON PACK:

IS it not clear that this is a LAUNCHERPRO ICON PACK, not GoLauncher, not QQLauncher, not Xperia Launcher ???????

You have to put it in the description in big bold letters. As a software engineer myself, you have to assume that the user has no idea as to what theyre downloading as in your case. I didnt read the description in your apps but if the info isnt there in big CAPS and embellished by asterisks then most of them probably will not see it.

ah cool your CM7 Themes, they are really nice and you have send me ones the Theme. Like it but my community not so much, therefore, we stayed with ICS CM7 Theme and GoLauncher MIUI.

anyway, it is mentioned in the 3rd row that it is for ADW and LauncherPro, the Pictures shows LauncherPro Icon, it is big written on the Picture. The Problem is I can't name it LauncherPro .... have to do LP, because than the name would be too long and Google doesn't allow such big names.

therefore, if somebody doesn't ready min. the first 3 rows, dump it, his own fault.
[Android Themes] SvenSSSvensson:
I would also like to request the feature to set icons manually with ADW-launcher. Every icon set has it. Can't be that hard! ;) Also I'm having some trouble getting the icons to work with CM7.2RC0 and ADW-Launcher 1.3.6. On the homescreen all icons is the standard icons with a yellow iphonish settings icon in the background.

Do I need to change any settings?

Thanks!
