[Verizon Droid Charge] jsminnis:
With the OTA on the horizon and the leaked ota "roms" out there allready this is a question that I've heard alot. This thread is to help you understand what a theme acctually is, and why you should not Cross-Flash Themes from one build to another.

Alot of people think when they are flashing a theme all they are doing is changing the 'look' and that's not even close to whats really happening behind the scenes.

In each theme zip there are folders that contain themed apk's that can theme anything from the clock to the system. Here is a look at what is inside the zip.

[COLOR="Blue"]EP4P[/COLOR]_Theme.zip
---------------META-INF (This file tells the zip what, where and How to flash)
---------------System
----------------------app
-------------------------Camera.apk
-------------------------ClockPackage.apk
-------------------------Contacts.apk
-------------------------DialerTabActivity.apk
-------------------------DownloadProvider.apk
-------------------------Gallery3D.apk
-------------------------Phone.apk
-------------------------Settings.apk
-------------------------SystemUI.apk
----------------------framework
-------------------------framework-res.apk
-------------------------twframework.apk

If you notice in this example the theme is for ep4p. That means that each apk file is based off the original ep4p leak. Then if you were to look into the apks they are made up of .pngs .jpgs .xmls .dex etc. Then if you were to break it down even further each .dex file has .smali files in them which contain java code.

Why is all this important you ask? And then you think Well as long as it works what do I care?

Well, let me tell you. Ep4d for one has a later build date than Ep4p, secondly and more obvious they have a differnt build name. That means SOMETHING was changed from one version to another. What exactly was changed is anybodys guess, let's just say for this example, in ep4d that they added a tweak into the framework-res.apk file that added speed and battery life, now you decide you want to flash a ep4p over the top. "Hey! it works" you say, Well guess what, you just overwrote the new tweaks by replacing the framework from an older version. Now, I see you posting a thread and asking why everyone else is getting more speed and battery life than you are when your both on ep4d. It's because you overwrote the tweak that everyone else still has.

The same goes from 'rom' to 'rom', if you flash a theme from one rom to another you could lose things such as tsm parts, power mod, accu battery, etc.

Hopefully, this can help people to understand more about what is going on behind the scenes, and as you can tell I could go on and on about this. So the moral of the story is ,

If your gonna flash an ep4p theme over ep4d 'rom' then why did you flash ep4d in the first place?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Porkshanker:
thank you for the info ... I had been wondering since the new build dropped.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
Nice write up you said it well for what I've been saying for awhile.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
adrynalyne has been howling about themers should go back to using metamorph like the og droid days where most themers were in that format for awhile, and im inclined to agree

an update-zip theme isn't really a *theme* as it is a mini rom...once you replace actual system apks or jars and not just inject images in, thats what it really is

now these type of themes are usually fine when made by a knowledgeable individual who doesnt just randomly drop any apk in without consideration for the consequences

however by my own informal and internal quick poll of themers i notice in forums i go to that number would probably be less than 1 in 3

even *popular* themers out there who put some nice screenshots in their op are really idiots, whose apks when you pull them apart are a disaster

not picking on any one individual, but be careful what you flash on your phone :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] jsminnis:
I personally use zipthemer, it's basically the same thing as metamorph only it builds a flashable zip for you. As long as you run zipthemer every time you change a rom/build then you are good to go.

I will have to say you are definetly right about the apks bieng trashed. I still have images in the theme I use from my moto days. You have given me the motivation to clean my theme up and optipng the images, who knows, it may make my phone faster and will definetly clear up some space.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
yeah, zipthemer is a neat tool as well :)

when i first starting making themes over a year ago i was guilty of putting out what i know consider garbage

its a learning curve, but still gotta be careful
[Verizon Droid Charge] jsminnis:
I agree, Well, I just got done cleaning my theme up and it went from 49 meg down to 34 meg. WOW, alot of junk in there, now my phone won't have to look through so much crap to find what it needs.
[Verizon Droid Charge] indyssee:
I confess to wanting to try and successfully flash one of gunnermike's themes over a Humble ROM just to see if I could make his head explode through time and space... (also because he's a gnarly themer...) ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
I've compiled a ZIP file that can be installed via CWM that completely restores the default EP4D theme.

It contains the commonly themed apps that most theme developers modify, namely...

Camera.apk

ClockPackage.apk

Contacts.apk

DialerTabActivity.apk

DownloadProvider.apk

Gallery3D.apk

JobManager.apk

MediaProvider.apk

Mms.apk

[Verizon Droid Charge] ForeverSupra:
Well considering there isnt that many themers, whats the deal? What do you see wrong with some of the APK's. I'd like to know some examples.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
He isn't talking Just DRIOD Charge, he's talking themers from various forums/devices/carriers, so a wide array of different people, and just from browsing some other people's work on other devices, I agree. The other option would be to use asserts to verify the build version before flashing, which may be another good option, so the average end-user can flash a theme for a ROM it wasn't meant for.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
yup, i was referring to all themes/themers across the various forums i peruse

while i dont enjoy particularly calling individuals out, themuffstuff was (i dont know if he still does) notorious for putting unpatched .9 images in his themes (and refused to patch them) and putting anywhere from 100-200 additional images in apks and frameworks as he copy/pasted images from other phones

hes an alright kid in general, but that used to bug the crap out of me

many other themers on sgs will even grab entire apks from the roms/themes of other sgs phones and package them in...this is fine *if* you make a note of it so people know what to expect...they often dont though, but i notice it

the fascinate also had many many themers do this back in its heyday

i do like the idea of adding the prop assert into themes...if i still actively made independent themes its something id strongly consider doing

but in general, its just a good idea for themers to be aware that yes, their update.zip themes are in fact mini partial roms. they should take the same care that rom developers do (or hopefully should do...but thats another topic) when releasing something.

the return of metamorph to the mainstream would be welcomed by me though as a stop gap measure for a lot of the shoddy work out there :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] boiboi253:
so how can I tell what all i have installed on my phone after I have done the root. I have done a lot of things trying to get to this point so it is a lil hazy as far as wht verisions I have on there and after the recovery I have to redo it all. and I just wanna make sure if mine is ep4p or ep4d

So i think I found it out...... I have all of the crap on my phone still :).. so I installed a theme and it got rid of a few things like my camera button.. I am still looking in the file itself to find out how to tell them apart. any sugestions on finding it

Many institutions use this authentication method for their wireless networks.

The cust.img contain a lot of unneeded apks. (The cust.img is a disk image file.)

How to extract cust.img and delete a file in that?

The cust.img mounted to /cust folder as "read only" by init.rc (init.rc automatically generated on boot)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ValenteL:
Is cust.img or cust_data.img? See on /cust_backup/image/cust...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ufukyayla:
This is cust.img in image folder. (When pink screen mode)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ValenteL:
I never change or delete anything on that place (when pink screen mode). I make all on /cust_backup/image/recovery.img or /cust... don't remember all.

Is from here that at each restarting or rebooting is loaded the bootloader (pink screen).

I deleted in this place all Carrier data /cust_backup/image/cust... something.

But take care, that /image/ is backed also on ROM Backups. If you delete the /cust... like I made, and if one day you made a ROM Restore made before, the /cust... return to same place. You must delete this after each ROM Restore.

For all restores I have, I made: Rom Restore-> delete /cust... (carrier data) -> new Rom backup.

..................................

EDIT: I made all this because I'm rooted and whit Root Explorer.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ufukyayla:
I fixed it.

I deleted all unneeded apks (stock apps) that stored in cust.img

My method;

1. On Slitaz Linux 3.0

2. Open terminal

3. Copy cust.img from phone to /home folder

4. mkdir tmp

5. mount cust.img /home/tmp

6. cd /home/tmp/hw/default/app

7. Delete apk files what you don't want

8. umount tmp

9. Copy cust.img from /home folder to phone

It is for who don't have linux;

modify init.rc

mount ext3 loop@.cust_backup/image/cust.img /cust ro

to

mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /.cust_backup rw wait
mount ext3 loop@.cust_backup/image/cust.img /cust rw

then you could delete any files in cust.img..(/cust in phone)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ufukyayla:
The init.rc automatically generating on boot.

Changes lost when you reboot your phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
The init.rc is in your boot.img, which you could edit with a tool like abootimg, but you'd need Linux to modify that, anyway.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ufukyayla:
But, it is very hard to do.

abootimg -x boot.img

rename initrd.img to initrd.gz

gunzip initrd.gz

extract initrc using cpio

edit init.rc

recompess

regzip

update bootimg

...

...

etc. etc.

do you know easy way?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Combine the commands together; create scripts or add aliases to your .bashrc :)

Do "abootimg -x boot.img && mkdir newramdisk && cd newramdisk && zcat ../initrd.img | cpio -i --no-absolute-filenames" and you're in the folder with the extracted initrd.

When you're done editing, run "find . -print | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -n -9 > ../initrd.img" followed by "cd .. ; abootimg -u boot.img -r initrd.img" and you're done
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ufukyayla:
thanks a lot. i'll try this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] totalcmdext:
Is there any other way without Linux to remove a .apk from cust.img?

Hi

My Samsung Galaxy SII cannot be accessed via its USB slot. I am able to recharge the phone over USB but that is all. Basically it got wet (very wet) and after much salvaging I managed to get USB recharging functionality back but lost USB data access.

My question. Is there anyway that I can root my phone without using USB.

Details:

Android version: 2.3.3

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE2

Baseband version: I9100XXKDJ

I have tried using Gingerbreak (which I got onto the phone via AirDroid) but this isnt working for me.

I cannot use Odin or ADB because of my USB problem.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Many thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
Use wireless adb to install the zergrush root

or I saw something on the front page of xda about a mobile odin version that you could use right on the phone

edit I just actually read more on the movile odin and you need a CWM5 kernel so you will have to use the wireless adb for zergrush first then dd a rooted kernel in place manually then you will have CWM installed fine.

I have re-read the wireless ADB description. When I first looked at this I thought that I first needed to be root to install it! But now I see that that is not the case.

So with wireless ADB I should be able to manually root my phone.

Brilliant. Thanks!

Pretty pointless advice buddy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Currently there is no way you could achieve root without having a working USB port.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you use the EverRoot option (Market/Pro version only), Mobile ODIN will root the firmware while you flash it.

Yes i am misreading above as to will root and or will root on the fly >>as it roots an unrooted phone .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocallagj:
I have downloaded mobile Odin Pro and tried running it.

"Mobile ODIN - Error

SuperUser access is needed, but could not be acquired.

Are you rooted and did you give permission?"

To which I can only press OK.

So I dont have access to "EverRoot".

It was worth a shot though! And I will be using it at some point once I gain root....

Cheers

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
Have you tried the Zergrush root method via wireless adb yet?

Note it will only give root without any custom kernel or recovery. But you can then use adb again to dd the cf-root kernel into place manually and after a reboot recovery will be installed and available.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocallagj:
I have installed adbWireless and am reading up on zergrush and cf-root kernel at the moment. Havent got wifi access here so will need to wait until later to try this out.

Looking for the exact dd command at the moment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
The command should be

dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Just place the uncompressed zImage file in the base of the sdcard
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocallagj:
Nice one. Thanks! Will let ye know how I get on!

Forgot to mention just in case that before that you have to do a "su" and authorize it on the phone screen to have permission to do that command.

Like most phones there are two types of LCDs used. Some having cool temperature displays with a more blueish tint to the screen (my preference) and some with warm temperature with a more yellow tint to the screen.

The phone on the left is the blue tint display and the phone on the right is the yellow tint display.

For the people that are claiming to have a cool display. Are you also having the problem with the bottom four buttons lighting up pinkish instead of red? Kind of curious because I have seen this as a pattern with a couple of different rezounds. On the rezounds that I have seen with the Warm display, they do not have the pink button issue, that I have seen. This could just be a coincidence with all of the rezounds that I have seen. Just wondering.

Nope. I have beautiful red buttons and what I believe to be a cool display.

Howdy All,

Few people have been asking me how i got the Miui Battery Bar into my ROM on the x10! short answer is i didn't i wrote my own battery bar! and here is how you can use it!

Features

Hide / Show

Selectable Colors

Static Color

Auto-Magicaly Color (Low Med Reg Charge)

Auto Detection of screen Width ( Bar works in Portrait and Landscape Mode )

Selectable Height

Charge Animation options.

Screen Shots

Change Log

[B]Options App[/B]
v2.0
added height options.

v3.0
added new color dialogs.

v4.0
fixed default color of med level to be non-transparent.

[B]Battery Bar[/B]
v2
added height options and fixed default colors.

How To!

Ok so there are 2 files attached

First is a Zip with the files needed to add to the SystemUI.apk (THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE)

Second is an the Settings app for the Battery Bar.

-

Thats it ( I think )!

all i ask is you don't modify the about section of the app if you choose to use it! and give credits where credits due. feel free to change my dodgy icon and if anyone has a better one ;) i will also put the sources for the settings app up on my git when i get git back up ( and when i tidy up and add comments ) and running in the next few days so that those of you running on source versions can cook it in from scratch. ( i don't think i need to explain how to do that if you are compiling sources i think you'll know what to do )

Vissit My Git to have a Look

with some help i can probably port this to older android versions (<2.3) as needed but i dont have access to a rom to test it on currently. so if you can help me there let me know :D

Hope you found this helpfull! Let me know if this is not clear enough!
