[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
All I get is an apk file, I've been searching all night for a zimage... The file says i777 flashkernal, and it's just an .apk. Mobile Odin can't see it unless I name it zimage with no file extension. I tried that and it seemed like it was soft-bricked so I used odin on the PC to reflash the stock root think mentioned in the thread.

I was thinking of CM7 if it will work flashing as a zip from CWM, if I can get CWM on there that is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
Where in the hell are you getting an apk from? If you dl Siyah or Entropy kernel, the zImage is in the zip. Pull that and put it on your SD card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Call_er_Roxie:
I am interested because I was in your position. Did the ICS leak 1 day too early and lost root. So what method did you use to go back to GB? Did you have to flash a new bootloader or was that all done in one package? Was it Entropy's "return" method?

I was seeing if I can keep the ICS leak and root. A dev here advised that all I need to do is re-flash the zip filed ICS leak. However since I have no root, I can't CWM recovery...I don't know another method to flash the rooted ICS leak.

So I'm thinking I have to wait for an exploit, or flash back to an old GB, root, ensure I have CWM, nandroid (I nandroided my rooted GB before upgrading to ICS leak), then flash the zip ICS leak.

Does anyone else have alternatives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
SMH...root is not needed for CWM... a custom kernel is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
True but to do it with Mobile ODIN you need root ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
"ROM" is an improper name for the firmware flashed to a phone. (the memory in question isn't read-only by any means. In Windows Mobile devices, you had to flash the firmware image all in one go - but on Android, /system contents can be modified on the fly as they're a normal file system.) garyd9 started a little crusade against the term ROM and I try to continue it (but I slip up sometimes).

Kernel contains the most basic low-level hardware drivers for a device. It's a small portion of the firmware for a phone. The remaining portion is the system partition - /system - kernel and /system together make a complete firmware package.

And you are correct - our bootloaders are fundamentally unlocked, the only code signing enforcement is the custom binary counter. It can be reset either with the jig or with TriangleAway (TriangleAway requires ICS)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
Glad you chimed in. I now feel stupid at my lack of knowledge :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ImaITGuy:
I almost think that the issue is that your "unzipping" the zip image files that you are downloading.

Why is it so important that you keep the phone in a reversable mode? Are you planning on returning it or perhaps selling it and do not want it to be known that you have flashed it?

Personally I am not knowledgeable enough to offer much advice, I just read the forums as most and try to put together the peices of information that fit my situation.

The Dev forum is by far the best place to look and get your questions answered and there are a bunch of guides on step by step processes. The only real advice I can give you is to google each term and understand what it is you need and then post your question.

HTC hub isn't working for sense 4 roms.

Can I download skins from another source
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Not sure why it's working. But you could probably find skins in other forums.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wus132:
The skins available modify the system an mess my phone up
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
It's probably because they aren't ready for 4.0 roms yet. Same thing happened with 3.5 too.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wus132:
This smartbeat Rom is missing a skin I think , when I was runny.g virtuous sense 4.9 I had an orange skins so idk.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Just grab the apk and put it on SmartBeat rom. I bet it will work.
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
I have seen this In The QA section, but no fix yet. The play store keeps telling there is an error with my purchase. Even the free stuff. I have tried using TB to wipe the data but no luck. I know it worked at one point as I used it to get TB when I switched to cm9
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
Just reflashed gaps and still won't let me download anything
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
don't know if anyone is reading this but me but reflashing cm9 fixed it
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
Hi all

Im Brobot175 (Rob) from over on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum.

A very friendly member of your comunity who goes by the name of mrevankyle sent me a PM a few days ago wanting a port of my new theme, MetroUI.

mrevankyle kindly ported most of the theme for me as i have no experience in Villain Theme installer so all credit in porting this theme goes to him!

I shall be watching over this thread and answering any questions about the theme itself but mrevankyle is going to cover this thread and answer any questions you have.

Well heres the theme!

^^^not what it really looks like but a good representation^^^

Metro UI - Brobot175.co.uk - Click Me

Check out website for screenshots and full change log

What is it?

This theme allows you to make your homescreen look like the windows 8 metro. It also themes your notifications pannel and taskbar to fit with the MetroUI.

What is it compatable with?

Android Revolution ROM but Evan may help me port it to a few more roms on the eee pad

To anyone else looking on this Forum is is also compatible with the

Galaxy tab 10.1

TouchPad

Kindle Fire

Acer a500

and Asus Eee Pad Transformer

Whats to come?

My website is brand new and still in beta so i shall be working on it to clear out any bugs.

I shall add tutorials on how to customize more of the theme like the widgets.

More Widgets.

Any other Bug fixes

If your tab for any reason goes into a bootloop just flash your ROM again without wipeing anything and it will go back to how you had it

Looks interesting, I'll try this when I finish my Monk episode and post some feedback later :D.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ice0901:
Tried twice. My system would not boot. I'm running teamEOS ver.15. I had to flash rom to regain use of my tablet
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] asdfuogh:
Where is this "MetroUIFlashTheme.zip" file for the Asus Transformer? Or am I just not seeing it because the link is in the same color as the other fonts?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Sorry for all the confusion the theme system is the villaintheme system to get the file you have to go to the website scroll down to the asus transformer (do not flash the samsung galaxy tab ones they will cause boot loops) then click where it says Vanilla theme (it should say Villain theme but there was some miscommunication) then you can download the package and flash with cwm

make sure you choose the transformer one :p

Its called vanillathemeB4.zip (should be called Villain theme B4)

It is the same colour but its the first thing in big font
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ice0901:
There isn't a separate download for the transformer. Just click on the Metro UI image(browser only:doesn't work in the xda app) then go to downloads
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
There is now i should know i ported it :P when you click downloads it asks you to chose your device and the transformer is the second one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
sorry guys

tried to do it all tonight cause im going away tommorw

all the stuff is on the website its just a little messy atm

ill try and clear out any bugs tommorw befor i leave

sorry I'm new to this. I flashed Vanilia Theme B4.zip. Am I supposed to flash MetroUITilesAsusB4.zip next? I don't see desktop visualiser 4x4. Thanks for this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Nope dont flash that just unzip it on your sdcard. It contains all the files you need to set up the tiles. And you get desktop visualizer from the market (play store now i guess)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] kay_kiat88:
So last night I took a shot at doing up this MetroUI theme. So I managed to do up the first page which looks really nice. I wanted to continue but I realized that the ROM that I'm using (AOKP) has an update from v1.6 to v1.7. It's a full rom update and not an updater, though it's without wipe. So I carried on with the update and boom, when my homescreen loaded, all I saw was "problem loading widget".

So the thing is.. I've been trying all sorts of ways to restore widgets on homescreen after an update. I don't wanna do this everytime after an update. Is there any workaround for this? And FYI, I tried Titanium's restore application widget option and it doesn't work at all.

edit: FOUND THE WORKAROUND! Convert adwlauncherEX to system app and backup using titanium. after flashing a new rom, simply restore the app!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
thanks i hadnt thought of this

i spent a few weeks trying to find a way so that i could tranfer my homescreen onto other devices and i even contacted the adw developer

ill tell people to do this befor they update from now on

cheers and good work finding this out :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] kay_kiat88:
Yeah that was the main reason stopping me from doing up fancy homescreens. Can't wait to do up my metroui :D

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

btw, the email widget is not compatible right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
yup should work on asop like team eos or cm9 but it will not work on stock, revolver, frozen or arhd. This is because it is a themed ported version of the asus email widget with conflicting package names and sigs
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
yeah i remeber now

if i have some spair time (which i dont have any of atm) ill go through and change all the names in the email widget so it works :)

ive gone through the website and changed all the names to villain and ive made the device chose a bit easier

can people give me any more feedback on the website or things they got confused on
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] kay_kiat88:
I'm on AOKP and email widget doesn't work. No biggie though. Thanks for the great theme again. Creating my own tiles now lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dragon_76:
Using CWM to flash, i tried both the villain zip and the metro UI zip and both produce an error in recovery. Am I missing something?

What is the error code?

and you dont flash the metro ui tiles you just extract it to the sd card
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dmazyn:
I get the same thing the error is: E:Error in /sdcard/Downloads/VillainTheme B4.zip (Status 0).

Running stock ROM rooted with testykern OC kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Probobly got corrupted in the uploading renaming and downloading process

here is the original port file

edit: didnt work file removed
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dmazyn:
Same error with new file.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
You are right that didn't work either i will try to figure it out

Edit: got it i had the wrong compression set here. This should work

The problem is that when it is renamed something gets a tiny bit corrupted and it does not work
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] darkansi:
Same error with the new file you posted

E:Error in /sdcard/download/Metro.zip

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
thats really wierd... works here on stock,cm9,revolver and eos...

I can't flash Theme. Is there anything to flash before this? I don't really understood the Villain method. Recovery showed me error and said to go for help to villain rom homepage.

Recovery says: Error check "path of the villain theme file" Status 0
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:
It's not that you don't understand it, it's that they don't understand it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
OK you made Villain theme, do you have any indication of what is going wrong? i have tested it on nearly every single rom and it has not failed for me once. It is really frustrating
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Acer A500

Hey guys great work on this I seen this a bit back and wished i had the Gtab but now its on Tf101 similar tab of a500 so just wondering if this would work for us?

we have a couple flavors of ics avaible if it makes a difference which I'm sure it may.

cm9

stock

acer ui implemented rom
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Theoretically the villain theme file should work but apparently i have some misconceptions about it. If you upload your systemui and framwork-res i can theme them for you though
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
OK that would be amazing I'm sure people on the a500 forum would greatly appreciate this!

Basically all the roms in our forum are based on the same leaked base so it should work for all. Besides the cm9 version that can't be hosted on xda because Thor made it.. I will pm you link to those files once I get to my laptop.

Thanks again !
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Alright so thanks to this guy we have confirmation that the villain theme works on the a500 unchanged. It gave status 0 on the first try but after a re-download it worked so the problem is not with the file. So if you are having issues just redownload it and that should fix your issues. Clearing cache and data could not hurt either.

Also latest version of desktop visualizer removed the menu to set presets (probobly a bug) so here is the latest not bugged version

>> View attachment jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr-1.apk
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Yes this APK helps alot!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:
I didn't make it, I did however work on it. Basically if you have any other theme installed previous to flashing this or any modifications you have to first return the ROM to stock theme. Now an easy way to prevent this issue arising is simply making it flash the stock theme first, then flash this afterwards (I assume you know how to edit the CWM flashing script to do this), this will prevent status 0 errors in 99% of cases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
What do you mean by the stock theme? Would not it be extremely difficult as all themes change different things?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Here is an app that gives you alot more nice metro icons if anyone is interested :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.suckga.icon7

Almost done with my a500 metro 8 theme looks great I want to personally thank mrevenkyle for helping me out and letting the a500 look great!

What did you say to do when a new update is out

I was thinking you said add ads ex to system\apps via root browser

then back it up my apps with titanium back up [which I use rom tool box pro]

Restore and it should be good right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
No. I dont know how you do it in your backup system but in Titanium you go to Backup/Restore fine adwex. Longpress on it and a menu will come up then you have to hit convert to system app. Restoring that should do it but make sure you restore visualizer before you open adwex or it will not stick
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Alright ill have to test when new release hits thanks ill do a video when its finished for the a500 thread
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:
Stock ICS.

So no you just make it flash stock ICS to remove any modifications currently there and then flash your theme afterwards.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Not sure if it matter but I flashed it over Acer UI which has minor changes and it worked very nice!

Added all the apps I included icon 7, and thumb keyboard metro keyboard, and Zplayer to make it look a lil better

Just need a win8 lockscreen app

Of course I'm not finished don't have alot of apps like you guys :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
hi guys im back from hols and from a quick look at this thread it looks like this beta isnt going too well

tommrow im gona sit down and get rid of as many of the bugs on this thread as possible

once again thanks to mrevankl for helping answering questions and also even putting up a new link :) if that link works ill make sure to put it on the website asap
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Dreamboxuser:
Dont forget you can backup and restore the ADW EX settings and desktop to a file and copy them to your sd card. I do this every time i upgrade and have to wipe. Theme looks very cool great work. Also dont forget the custom shortcuts that you can assign for those pesky apps that just dont wanna cooperate (also saving system resources). Do you have auto resize and widget overlap selected in adw could make for a tighter fit. Any suggestion on columns / rows?

I'm gonna have to give this a go.

Also i might be missing something but can you give a link to the site?(yup tapatalk doesnt open the link just shows the picture)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
this versio doesnt work atm but im releasing the upgrade later today :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
Beta 5 released with upgraded website and zips

report back if it works

::)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ThatRndmN00B:
You should make a flashable theme of this :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Its beta right now we are ironing this out for us non gtab users.. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Most of it is flashable but we cannot make it flash the tiles right on because that would have to include adwex and that is a paid app
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
yeah what he said
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Anymoore:
I have the Revolution ROM and i have force close when i installed the widget :s

Is it normal ?

Can I use go launcher HD instead of ADB ?

Thx.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dincdoes.me:
Its not normal have you tried visiting the METROUI site it has been changed.

Are you on ICS or honeycomb?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
Thats not normal but a logcat would be nice for brobot.

Yes but do not expect it to look the same or act as well
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
This is pure awesome! :D

how to revert to normal look :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
flash your original rom without wiping anything
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
thought it was any other way,

i liked the look except wifi ikon so i reverted,

the wifi ikon was half blue and wifi trigger and bt looked a bit bad, otherwise it was good :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
You can go into the theme file and delete the wifi png's then when you flash it the wifi will not change
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] BroBot175:
yeah well its only half white when you have half signal
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] :
Just to mention to those getting the Status 0 error...I was getting it with the latest "touch recovery" recovery, flashed team rogue recovery as suggested and it ran no problems!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Jano611:
I have a Problem with the theme...i flashed the overcome 2.3.1 firmware and the pershot kernel.

I download the first file (VillainHoneycomMetro...) and flash it in the CWM. The system reboot and the only what i see is the normal stock theme, but the taskbar (Homebutton, Backbutton, Time...) on the downside of the display is disappeared...

Do i have forget something to install or so?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
What...? This is that asus transformer form... None of that makes sence here.

What device are you using?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Jano611:

i write it in the right thread again.

oh but the quality wasn't that good, think you can fix it :D

thanks anyway i liked it so far

EDIT: its the colors that makes it look so wierd, its not wrong with the graphics its the color that distracts me :P

Still preffer the color on the back button, not two collored it just looked like picture was to pixeled :D

Reflash your rom first and if that does not work then re-download the file. Also make sure you are using teamroug's recovery it seems to work better
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Chillz88:
Any way to run this in big phones like galaxy note??? It looks awesome..exactly what I was looking for
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
Any way to apply it without CWM because Im completely stock and dont intend to install CWM. Or will the CWM app also work without CWM itself?

Sharing the app package and the matching settings to import to each app could work but it wont change the status bar right?
