[Epic 4G Themes] beltsnspoons:
After about 34987234987 tries, I finally got this theme to flash on cm9a2 with the samurai tanto kernel.

I read that others had done a full wipe, flashed cm9, gapps, kernel, theme, booted, rebooted into cwm, advance restored /data and then rebooted. THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME, in fact, even when I did , finally get the theme to flash, every time I tried to restore /data, I got stuck at the boot animation. So, for those who are having similar issues (if there are any as unlucky as I am with this theme, but like it so much that they simply MUST have it) here is what I did.

DISCLAIMER: this is kinda tedious and annoying, but it worked. So if youre like meand you really want this theme and are having the same issues I had, I am not responsible for you dying of boredom while following this method. :D

To start out, go to the market and get appbak, call log backup and restore, sms backup and restore and titanium backup (TiB). Run each program and do full backups with each.

Now, reboot to cwm.

First things first, no matter what, MAKE A NANDROID.

Next, do a full wipe, wipe everything, multiple times if you want, just make sure its all GONE.

Now, would be a great chance to flash either cleangb mtd or the el30 stock mtd rom andupdate your profile, and prl if you need or want to do that. It would also be good while youre on one of these roms to go into display settings and do a horizontal calibration. From what ive read, this setting survives subsequent rom flashes as long as you stay on mtd, and will fix any rotation lag issues you have on cm9 according to Americanjedi001’s rotation lag fix. (link at bottom). If you decide to do this stuff, when youre done, reboot to cwm and do a full wipe again and proceed with these instructions.

Then, flash the cm9 alpha 2 update,

Then flash gapps, and facelock if you want.

Flash any other tweaks/mods you wanna try out. I flashed smooth scrolling mod, data speed increase (works wonders for me!), universal adrenaline shot (just to see if it did anything), amd the vm notification fix. (links at bottom)

Next, flash your kernel of choice.

Now boot your phone.

Once its booted, mess around for a bit, make sure everythings working like it should.

Now, reboot to cwm and do another nandroid, then wipe cache and dalvik.

Now flash whichever ics infusion theme you want.

Boot your phone. (it might take a bit)

Now the fun part (not!):

Go to market, download appbak, sms backup and restore, and call log backup and restore.

Use appbak to restore your apps. This will just take you to each apps market page so that you can do a fresh reinstall of your apps with no data, as cm9 does not play well with data from other roms. Some of your apps may not be available on the market or they may have compatibility messages and not be allowed to download them. For these apps you will have to use TiB. Be sure to restore the app ONLY, no data, as this will cause problems and force closes. This part takes a while and Is pretty frkn tedious, but its necessary if you want all your old apps back. After that, you can use sms and call log backup and restore programs to restore your other info.

This is what I had to do to get this theme to work with my set up. From what ive read, not everyone has had to do this, so hopefully you wont either. But if you get stuck and you cant get your phone to boot up, this is the method that worked for me. Good luck.

for the universal adrenaline shot, youll have to search for that on our own, ive had it on my computer forever, n i dont feel like searching the forums for it and its creator. it doesnt seem to have much of an effect anyways.
