I haven't seen a lot of posts about theming here in our D4 forum so I thought I would create one. If you don't know about theming, you are really missing out on some fun things you can do. Personalize that phone and make it yours!

Theme Chooser Themes: On AOSP based ROMs (CM, AOKP, Liquid, etc.) you can use the built in theme chooser located in the system settings. There are TONS of themes out there, some free, some paid. Here are a couple of fantastic threads listing Theme Chooser themes:

CM10/10.1/10.2 and other JB AOSP based ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29455970

CM11 and other KK AOSP based ROMS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522538

Another option is the web site MyColorScreen.com. You will find a lot of custom themed home screens here and most have instructions on how to achieve the look yourself. You do not have to be running a ROM or even rooted for most/all of these.

A third option is the new Themer app located here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en. This app is by the MyColorScreen guys and basically takes all the work out of creating those custom home screens you find on MyColorScreen. It is in beta right now so you will have to sign up to receive a code. I received my code yesterday and it is fantastic!

If any of you have other apps, sites, etc that you use feel free to share them here.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Do u still have the code?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Nice little app. could use some more work but beta is impressive. hopefully they them apps, menus and such like cm one does but not bad at all

need a bit of help

i'm kinda new here and i've updated my zte open to firefox os 1.1. i was wondering if there is a way to root it now that i have the new version of firefox os? i searched on google and didn't find anything.
[Firefox OS General] ovasilis74:
Hi, if you did the above, you already rooted your phone. Or was it a normal update, not for the UK version I suppose. For now I did the SD-update to OPEN_EU_DEV_FFOS_V1.0.0B02, from ZTE Suport (cannot link...yet).

I hope to reach your level with all my hair in place! Then what, dual-boot with 512mbROM?
[Firefox OS General] gabyslim:
i have the update coming from firefox i guess. i bought my zte open in spain from movistar with prepay sim.
[Firefox OS General] ovasilis74:
Gabyslim, the working enviroment of this guide by cimourdain is Debian7 (Linux operating system). Ubuntu Linux listens to the same comands in the CLI ("comand line interface" I think), I use Xubuntu12.04LTS (12.04 seems to be the most suitable for android playing) for the same modification on my ZTEopenEU(UKeBay). So if your PC runs only Windows, you have to use almost the same android-tools to take root control of your device, (like ADB=Android Debug Bridge), but follow another guide for Windows, also in CLI i suppose, not sure...

Now, if you are sure you have 1.1 rather than 1.0.1.0...etc in a ZTEopen, it 's a very usefull information for me, azureus77, cimourdain and many others probably! I tried to find Movistar support, to see if they uploaded any Fos1.1 in .zip format for manual update, but didn 't have any succes until now and my Espanol understanding is very poor to search further... I could install it on my ZTEopenUK even if I am using english language on my phone (no Greek option in 1.0.1.0), because I think that 1.1 gives many lang-options.

So, Gabyslim, if you 'd like to help a little, please check the lang-options on your phone and the excact version if you like, mine is this:

(I can 't post links yet, fill the rest...)

If you could find-out if Movistar has uploaded any .zip update and post a link, would be a nice gift!

BTW, very good price. I paid double € from the UKeBay(ZTE..."official")...

Thanks again cimourdain

I couldn 't use this link

is there any other way to have this file?

Also, do you know if this solves the "downloading update error"?
[Firefox OS General] gabyslim:
the version i have installed now is OPEN_FFOS_V1.1.0B01_TME and i was updated from ffos 1.0 to this version on 26/09/2013.
[Firefox OS General] ovasilis74:
Very good you realy have the 1.1 ! Have you the .zip file of OPEN_FFOS_V1.1.0B01_TME ? Could you attach it here or upload it somewhere easy for us to dowload? With the link cimourdain gave about

Many thanks pcc00! I 'll post results on ZTEOpen as soon I flash it.
[Firefox OS General] ovasilis74:
Well, I succefully flashed fos1.1, worked OK, but then I found a "reason" to brick the poor device...

I belive I'm not off-topic because I think the Movistar1.1 flashed the ClockworkRecovery also, so I ended with a StockRecoveryMode, that was also inaccesible from adb with my Xubuntu12.04.

I tried to root the ZTEOpen and install ClockworkRecovery again, but both failled... endless reboots after ./run.sh

From the StockRecoveryMode I tried to "apply update from external stor(age)" with:

EU_DEV_FFOS_V1.0.0B02_USER_SD.zip

images-keon-v1.2-2013-11-04.Gecko-9082581.Gaia-f18e209.zip

B2G_P752D04V1.1.0B04_TME(SD).zip

all gave verification errors, also with and without the fix for "status 7 error".

Then i flashed:

Update package of Android GB for OPEN device

from: firefox.ztems.com (search site, cannot link).

The installation was completed, but after that I did something I didn't expect to end like this: I selected "reboot" but in the next screen (asking reboot or not) I selected NOT to reboot, so I review the previous menu again, BUT the device rebooted anyway! I don't realy know if this caused the final problem.

That's the end of the story for now, the "semi-brick-zte" boots either in "Android system recovery <3a>" (volume-up + power-button) or if I select "reboot system now" endless reboots with the fox looking something to the right of the screen...

I'll try to find how "flashboot" works, for now it does not see the device (recovery only).

Any sugestions/guides?

[Firefox OS General] walter_wireless:
Hello.

I try to achieve root with OPEN_US_DEV_FFOS_V1.0.0B02 installed.

But the process always stops on "This works only once a boot."

And then phone just reboots and script failes, like this one:

== CVE-2012-4220 - discovered by giantpune
== original exploit by Hiroyuki Ikezoe

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

PS: Am I right that the official v1.1 is available now? Anyway, I need to get CWM to have more freedom for experiments.

PPS: After all, official Spain 1.1 from ZTE returns me the "Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip". And if I modify zip to fix Error 7, it doesn't pass signature check and we return to the rooting problem :(

Please, help me to defeat this damn phone.
[Firefox OS General] aversario:
Hi ovasilis74,

there you go, the same text again, but with links:

I've tried something similar you have.

I did root the FFOS V1.0.0, and flashed ClockWorkMod recovery, but then I've tried some Columbia offical Zte Open firmware and it flashed recovery. Then I updated the zip file from the same link as you did (firefox.ztems.com). Then I've downloaded another firmware from here -> triplew.ztedevices.com/support/smart_phone/cba40ed6-d3ab-44c0-bdee-3a15803dc187.html?type=software and sign it with this command -> java -Xmx1024m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 test.zip test-signed.zip (thanks to that page -> wiki.rootzwiki.com/Signing ) (I've downloded signapk software somewhere from internet, I can't remember)

Then I've uploaded that signed zip file to sdcard, and ran install from zip file in this android system recovery.

I hope it helps.
[Firefox OS General] ovasilis74:
I think you are using Windows and executing "run.bat", because in Linux the "run.sh" is automaticaly executed and after some times rooting succedes. My first attempt was this:

Connect your phone to USB, then:

Got root! - copying su binary!
Enjoy!
ovasilis74@vostroA90:~/root-zte-open$

I got root the second time, but I think they could be more...

If you use Windows repeat the "run.bat" command or whatever you do in Windows ( I haven't tried) and normaly rooting sould hapen, ...then be careful, I wasn't...

Note, that after flashing the 1.1 the CWM will be replaced by the stock-recovery. I've read somewhere that if you delete the recovery.img from the .zip(e.g. 1.1.zip) you can avoid that.

Good luck!
[Firefox OS General] walter_wireless:
I have tried different variations of this script for many-many times. And it writes nothing, not "failed", just nothing. And then phone reboots.

But OK, I will try to repeat all operations in Linux, although I don't see the principal difference, seems like the problem lies in damn phone :)

I will post the results. Thanks. And thank you for precautions about recovery.:good:
[Firefox OS General] ovasilis74:
Maybe your method could help me, I would try. But could you post the links again without the ht..//? You (and I) cannot post links, we are too ...new here!
[Firefox OS General] walter_wireless:
OK, I succeeded to achieve root from Ubuntu, but when I try simple removing the recovery.img, flashing stops with Error 6 and I didn't find the way to fix that and to flash 1.1 without updating recovery. I will give updates on my success.
[Firefox OS General] walter_wireless:
Success!

I got 1.1 with root and CWM.

What steps I did:

Unpacked B2G_P752D04V1.1.0B04_TME(SD).zip

Opened \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with Notepad++ (Windows) and deleted first three strings as described in first post. It is important to edit this file with some advanced editor to avoid adding unnecessary blanks.

Renamed recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-roamer2.img to recovery.img and replaced original image.

Packed all back into zip and voila! Before rebooting CWM asked me if I want to re-root. I agreed.

After reboot I checked root access and recovery - all are on their places.

Personal feelings from 1.1 - all became a bit faster and finally it is possible to import contacts from Google.

The only confusing thing is Movistar logo on boot and turning off. But I think that it is not critical at all now.

Thanks and good luck!
[Firefox OS General] aversario:
And another thing, regarding flashing ZTE Open (or maybe some other device too).

When my system is now running, its rooted and it has ClockWorkMod recovery, and I maybe want to flash another firmware from -> triplew.ztedevices.com/support/selectproduct.html?type=software and I don't want to "touch" my current recovery, I removed the lines regarding word "recovery" from updater-script (inside the .zip, META-INF\com\google\android\).

So now the script looks like this -> look under attachments, and unzip

[Firefox OS General] SuxOnOff:
same with me, flashed prerelease update.zip from firefox.ztems.com and now have Android recovery which doesn't accept official images
[Firefox OS General] lgg2:
Hello,

Well, about the Android "recovery", may be an option. The signature seems to be different from Android than Firefox. Then I am trying to sign the Firefox update as Android one. Another form maybe pack CWM as update.zip and firm it.
[Firefox OS General] lgg2:
Hello,

Another alternative It is the use of "ZTE handset software update tool" that works with "FTM" mode of the phone. In my case, the tool detects OK the phone, but doesn't update it because detect the last version placed on it.

Then another option It is wait until ZTE publish the next version.. maybe 1.2?.
[Firefox OS General] SuxOnOff:
you may take recovery from 1.0.1B02

and flash it via adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/rec.image
[Firefox OS General] lgg2:
Hello,

The problem It is that is doesn't start. Then It doesn't get adb connection option. I can get the recovery screen but with all updates gives to me signature errors.
[Firefox OS General] hydrate:
Hi, just wanted to share that I had great success following your steps. I had an Ebay UK phone with V1.0.0B02 rooted and CWM recovery installed, and I wanted to update to the official ZTE UK 1.1 version available from ztedevices support.

I removed the first 3 lines from the updater-script, replaced the recovery image and packed everything back. At first it didn't work for me, CMW kept aborting the installation right after starting, but after a bit of research the culprit was the .zip file itself. I simply had uncompressed everthing and compressed it back, but seems that something went wrong, I had to add/modify the files without extracting the package for it to work properly.

After that minor problem everything worked like a charm, 1.1 was installed, CWM was kept and the phone was re-rooted. This version feels faster and more polished, the only part I don't like is that I can't remove the ugly search bar from the mainscreen. I hope we can do the same with version 1.2 in the future.

Thx a lot for your help!

ZTE Open (US- E-Bay): Root, CMR and update to Firefox OS 1.1

Here are the steps I used to update my ZTE Open using Windows 7

1.	Obtain Android SDK

2.	Put Android in windows “Path” I used this guide: youtube.com/watch?v=Khrxo0-NieM (thank you to Reverendkjr)

3.	Used Pof.HQ pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions method to root and install CMR. However run.bat file did not work (permission denied message) so opened it in notepad and ran commands separately using cmd.exe to open command line window:

a.	adb wait-for-device

b.	adb push root-zte-open /data/local/tmp/

c.	adb shell

d.	su (This was the missing step in the run.bat file)

e.	adb /data/local/tmp/root-zte-open. (If you do not add “su” line after opening shell command, you will not have superuser privileges and get “permission denied” error.)

4.	recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-roamer2.img.

a.	# first backup your existing recovery

adb shell su

adb busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img bs=4k

adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img

b.	# then flash clockworkmod recovery

adb push recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-roamer2.img /sdcard/cwm.img

adb shell su

adb flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwm.img

5.	Next I downloaded FirefoxOS update from ZTE: ztedevices.com/support/smart_phone/b5a2981a-1714-4ac7-89e1-630e93e220f8.html

Tried to copy to SD card and install via CMR but got a:

assert failed: getprop_new(“ro.build.display.id”) == “OPEN_US_DEV_FFOS_”

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

More research found I was lucky it failed as it will unroot and remove CMR.

So need to make following mods

6.	Look in US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B04_UNFUS_SD.zip (do not extract files)

Find updater-script in Meta-inf/com/google/android

7.	Open in word/notepad etc and delete first 3 lines

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "roamer2" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "roamer2");

assert(getprop_new("ro.build.display.id") == "OPEN_EU_DEV_FFOS");

8.	I saved file to desktop and then open it with Notepad++

a.	Under edit menu look for EOL conversion and convert to UNIX/OSX format

b.	Save again

c.	Now click and drag it back to Meta-inf/com/google/android after deleting original version.(windows compress it automatically- takes time- be patient)

(May want to reopen it in notepad++ just to make sure the changes “took”)

To retain root and retain CMR

9.	Locate recovery.img in US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B04_UNFUS_SD.zip and delete it.

10.	Rename recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-roamer2.img to recovery.img

11.	Click and drag recovery.img you just created into US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B04_UNFUS_SD.zip and allow windows to comress it.

12.	Copy US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B04_UNFUS_SD.zip onto SD card of ZTE Open

13.	Safely remove ZTE open from computer and reboot into recovery (Power +volume up)

a.	Once in CMR select update from SD card and select US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B04_UNFUS_SD.zip

b.	Once done reboot ZTE open and enjoy FirefoxOS 1.1 with retained root and CMR
[Firefox OS General] lgg2:
Hello,

The success of this instructions It is to have a working OS, but in my case, the phone reboots in the Firefox intro, giving to me only less than a second of ADB connection. Also I hace checked that the SD card partition It is not mounted (I do not why). Also the "fastboot" method does not work. I only have a not working recovery (always give signature verification errors), the FTM mode and the "download" mode.

I can get outputs of [ps], [ls], [mount], [dmesg], etc. I can not transfer more of 2.5MB (PC->phone), neither copy more than that amount from a directory to other.

It is ... situation. It is nearly working, but not usefull at all.

recovery after flashing update.zip from firefox.zterms.com

For those of you who have a bricked phone after flashing the update.zip from firefox.zterms.com, here are some words of wisdom ;) :fingers-crossed:

I have the same problem that you and managed to wipe data too ( this means no adb enabled), The phone reboots itself before starting the animation. I finally found a way to recover this brick.

It seems that the new recovery "android recovery 3e" verify signing against default android testkeys ( part of AOSP ).

This is my first post and I don't have privilegies to post links here, but If you want I can send PM with uploaded link to a signed FxOS 1.0 (I chose this version because the root exploit does not work with 1.1).

Of course YOUR WARRANTY WERE VOID before flashing this, but I hope you'll find a way to recover this **** phone as I did.

Thanks a lot to walter_wireless and hydrate!

I have had a little other way, bacause I had updated to V1.1 (Spain, Moviestar) !! before rooting. So I had to downgrade (update-signed.zip), than rooted and cwm. The next steps were similiar, but I had to wipe data and cache for success. Movistar logo on boot is away and no problems by turning off.
[Firefox OS General] SMOKERBUNNY:
amm ok in pentium 3 or 4 you can use virtual box with 1gb of memory ram, its ok.. please really support to windows.
[Firefox OS General] walter_wireless:
There is another way. Just flash a bootable external pendrive with Ubuntu or even Xubuntu/Lubuntu (it is better for your PC) and boot from it, if your motherboard allows booting from USB. Otherwise, make a bootable CD. It surely will be faster and more reliably than attempts to succeed the procedure in Windows. Good luck!

So this keeps on happening. I'll be running PACrom for a few days, and then suddenly it shuts down and goes into a boot loop. I go into recovery and wipe caches, and end up in an even worse loop. What's weird is I always use the same restore I have, and it'll run fine for about two days. After that, I'm in danger of going into the cycle again. Any idea why it seems to happen spontaneously?
