[Desire General] KaMatom:
I am getting my new Desire today from Orange as an upgrade. I have previously rooted couple Win Htc's but never had or tried to root Android. As soon as I remember the nightmares Orange modifications were causing on my old N95 I don't even want to boot before rooting it to generic HTC ROM. The problem is that I am a bit worried turning my new phone into the paperweght. Is there a real danger or more of a myth? What precautions should I take? :confused:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You can't root the Desire yet, you can only reflash the ROM using a GoldCard
[Desire General] KaMatom:
sorry if I sound a bit silly with this next question, but does that mean that i can't brick it by just flashing it?
[Desire General] Rogem:
Yeah. I recently flashed my Orange branded HTC Desire with the generic ROM and all I've noticed is a 30% increase in performance.
[Desire General] landwomble:
guide please? really interested in doing this to fix the low headphone volume issue on my t-mob one.
[Desire General] landwomble:
ignore that: just done it. once got the adb drivers installed and realised that there's a space after "cat" in the adb command (!) this was really easy. Took two goes to successfully save changes to goldcard with hex editor for no particular reason, so got a scary Error 131 on first boot. Redit the changes, rebooted phone, reapplied update - all went swimmingly. Just applying OTA update now.

Thanks guys.
[Desire General] binary_digit_2002:
New to droid

Hi All, Ive just moved from my (Jailbreak) iPhone to the HTC Touch so I am new to android and flashing.

Please could somebody point me in the right direction of "how to" and what I need (files etc.) to do to flash my Vodafone HTC Desire...

Many Thanks in advance!

:confused:
[Desire General] TurkzZ:
does refalshing the rom etc delete the phones memory?
[Desire General] landwomble:
yep

yep, wipes it completely. it'll look/behave like it did when you first got it, although without any network branding.
[Desire General] KaMatom:
I have flashed my one using goldcard. Works great I can't notice any difference in performance, but probably it's because I didn't spend more than 20 minutes with Orange "improved" OS. Anyway it was quite easy to do and really worth it.:)
[Desire General] Cyborgz:
My m8 made a gold card & swapped the original T-Mobile firmware to the Generic version. Not only is now debranded but I noticed my phones running quicker then before & I have proper sound through my earphones as the LouderVolumeHack was a waste of time... so long as the gold cards made right an you follow the setup guide properly it should work fine. :D
[Desire General] claudefrog:
Yeah, agree with whats being said here.

Fairly straight forward to use the Goldcard mehtod to flash the generic ROM, just ensure you read the instructions throughly and don't rush the steps.

Had my golcard done, phone flashed and set back up within 20 minutes, runs exactly the same but no nasty orange icons or demo games that I never asked for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
Here is my first try and theming swype. Iam using it with the swype apk thats floating aroung in here. The only part that i havent been able to figure out how to change is the actualy tracing line on the screen, its still in the default blue color but i would love to know how to change its color.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d.cortez:
how do you install it? as a morph theme? flash? unzip to folders? rename to apk file? looks good!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
It's a morph that will only work with the free version of metamorph since it only has a .thm file.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
Thanks, just unzip the contents into your android themes folder and install with metamorph
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
Looks good, but my Metamorph (free) won't load it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d.cortez:
same here...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
it Works fine.all you need to do its change the input back to swype because changing the theme causes it to switch to the android default keyboard. Did You unzip the contents and install using the metamorph theme file? In your sdcard you should have android themes/swype_black_n_blue/ then inside you should see the .thm file and folder. Are you guys also using the swype that was floating around here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
I'm using the actual Swype Beta, and I had originally just tried it from the .zip. When I extract it to Android themes and try to load it from the existing themes(even after replacing it) MM says "the target systems/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk does not exist, skipping"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Noel3903:
Its because metamorph only works in system/app/ atm so u have to push your swype.apk to that folder.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
Yeah, I didn't take the route of pushing the apk back into the phone. Kinda sucks no one has got it working.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Re: Swype Theme

Works fine for me. Just push swype to /system/app and it works without a hitch. Looks great! Can I request a buuf theme?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
Glad to hear out works for you. Buff theme? Dont really know what that is, lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
It would end up looking something like this:

That's the Buuf themed HTC_IME that gIMpSTa made. Buuf is a pretty popular theme theme that can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=574139
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
Good job, I'm working on a black and white theme so the keys are all black with white letters. I will prob just have it as a apk to install but meta morph might be my 2nd attempt at other colors...keep up the good work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
works great. had to remove the folder nesting though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deanesn:
how about HTC's keyboard look? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
The buff theme looks real cool, ill go ahead and work on that tonight, as for the htc theme ill also put that on my list. Does anyone care to try and figure out how to change the color of the tracing line? i figure that its in one of the xml files but iam having a hard time accessing them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
I'm on the same mission, if I find out I will pm you the steps!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mrmarshall428:
I moved the apk to system/app it says morph applied but it hasn't changed anything, a little help please would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
Thanks!

I dont understand, what do you mean by moving the apk to system/app. all you need to do is unzip the file into your androidthemes folder then apply the .thm file using metamorph. then your all set.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] soundwave9999:
Great work man, it looks awsome on my nexus1... :D ...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
Took me a while, but I got it working.

Looks great, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Alright... I just quickly compiled an HTC themed swype. I do not take credit for all the keyboard images. These were taken from another thread that was made some time ago for an HTC-themed Swype keyboard (for WinMo phones). I just compiled the images into a MM and did a good bit of editing/reformatting images in order to comply with the newest Swype Beta. There are images suitable for the N1 and the Droid in this MM. Enjoy :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
I'm sticking with the blue, but that does look really good...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
Great Job on porting over the HTC like skin. Heres the Buuf theme as requested. Props go out to gIMpSTa and the original creators of the buuf concept.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Thanks, just thought I'd throw a little help out to lighten your load since I put in a request haha ;)

Also, the buuf theme looks sweeeeeet! Thanks man.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deanesn:
sweet. you guys are my heros. :) thanks again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
Yeah, I can't find anywhere how to modify the trace, also I'm having the same problem with it saying the file is not found. I looked in the system app folder and it's not there, tried pushing it with adb and still not there in the folder. I wonder why it's not working? I use all my apps on the sd card and even reinstalled with the system and unchecked apply to sdcard and still not found in that folder...I will ask david1171 who is the metamorph king and see if he can figure it out so everyone can enjoy these cool themes...will get back to you if I can figure it out!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deanesn:
grrr the desire rom just does not like modified swype.apk. changed the .thm to point at /data/app where swype.apk resides on the desire rom but as soon as i apply it with morph swype disappears. I even took the images and copied them into the original .apk files and try to install that but apparently the install manager does not like that file or even any modified .apk file. I know the themes work on regular rom like cyanogen but has anyone gotten em working on the desire?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
I tried about 4 things including that before I just uninstalled and started fresh. After finished it really was pretty straight forward and idiot proof.

I uninstalled my real beta.

adb pushed the apk from the forums here to /system/app/

installed

morphed

walla-done

I can't remember if I had tried to push the beta apk I had to /system/app/ before I grabbed the one here - I think I had tried to morph that one before installing and that didn't work either so I just got the one on the forums.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Oh crap... I forgot to mention that because I'm using a Motorola Droid and not an N1, when I rotate my phone to landscape, the keyboard isn't themed because we use different LS images. You wouldn't happen to quickly be able to throw together images for landscape for the Droid would you (if you still have PSDs or something)?

I've provided the proper files below that are to be overwritten (from my HTC swype morph). Essentially, the images are just 854px wide instead of 800px. The height is the same. But I am afraid if I stretch the images they will not be clear and may not align properly. If you could do this, that would be really awesome and much appreciated. Thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deanesn:
thanks. it worked. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cubanaso:
I went ahead and tried streching the image to 854 and it overlaps perfectly without distorting the image. Here you go
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Nice, well then that was easy! Thanks :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Flomaster:
in order to get it to work on my droid I had to add 854 to the end of your file names.

-=Jason=-
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Yep, I forgot to mention that I also had to do this. The files in the swype apk for Droid share the same name as the ones for N1, just with "854" at the end of each landscape image.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arkavat:
I made an apk file for the black and blue theme. Works great on N1. No root required. Just uninstall your old installation and install this one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Nice... alright I've gotta ask --- How do you make an apk out of these? I know I have to sign the APK or something but that is the part I don't know how to do. BTW I'm using Windows 7 x64 --- I know stericson's guide said you can't use the autosign tool to sign apks on this OS so that leaves me clueless as to how to go about signing apks. If you can help, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Flomaster:
I tried using an auto signing apk for this so it would install to /data but my install failed.... can you share how you signed it?

-=Jason=-
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
if the initial auto signed apk doesn't work, try going into the apk deleting META-INF then signing it again...whenever I resign an APK and it fails, that tends to help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arkavat:
yup. that is true. I actually delete META-INF folder every time I am resigning apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masse1369:
OK, so I have the file: com.swype.android.inputmethod-signed.zip

What do I do with it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
I got the download from the last page and installed it from my sd card and it works fine! Looks great!

Working on black and white apk to install the same way!

Edit: I used astro to install btw!:D

Hi. I would really like to get the buuf themed swype. I am running CM 5.0.6.2 on the Moto Droid with BUUF theme. Unfortunately have no luck with any of the MM themes with CM present build. I have the com.swype.android.inputmethod.com in /system/app. MM unzipped and I clicked apply. But swype does not get themed. I was wondering if you could make the buuf themed one into an update.zip. THanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] forkup:
Here is swype with buuf theme as an update.zip and also as a metamorph theme with the correctly named image files already inside the zip. Enjoy.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stufffordroid:
Sorry, another newB here, I also am using your black and blue skin on my droid and I am running into the same landscape problem. Someone said just to change the numbers 800 to 854 but I have no options to change these. Can somone using a droid who has made the fix please post. BTW, typed this super fast on my droid using the skin. Even without landscape I will still keep the skin just because it looks so great, good job.

[HD2 General] jimmyboy2389:
I downloaded swype and used it and it was great. And the next day I did a soft reset after downloading something and now I only have the default keyboard and its lame. I have gone into all settings-->personal-->input and switched input method to swype but once i press ok it swtiches it automatically back to touch input. can anyone help? maybe help me tottaly disable touch input or find a solution why i cant use swype.
[HD2 General] lquigley:
keyboard symbol?

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but do you get keyboard symbol at bottom of screen, with arrow to the rightside of it? if so, touch on arrow, select swype. Sorry if you have already done this.Mine changes back sometimes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] USDan:
I'm stuck in the middle of a failed ROM upgrade on a Magic 32a.

I can successfully follow the common goldcard creation tutorial (theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/) but when I put it on my phone which is stuck in RUU, and take out then put the battery back in, my Magic still goes to RUU. I've tried this on two cards, one SanDisk and one generic.

Will a goldcard work with a phone that's stuck in RUU? Do SanDisk MicroSD's work? Why does a goldcard need the CID of a MicroSD card to be reversed for it to work?

Could someone please provide me with direction on this?

Thanks,

USDan

EDIT: I just noticed this is in Developers. I apologize - I've posted in the wrong section. Could someone please move this post to General Discussion?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
After taking out battery and placing in, you must run RUU again and proceed flashing process with goldcard. After success of flash you will get working system (if goldcard was created properly)

Yes!

May be, not all. But, Kingston work flawlessly

It's internal HTC algorythm. They're applying it on most own models.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Just FYI based on my own experience.

I attempted to create a goldcard on a Vista machine and it would fail everytime.

I then tried it on a Windows XP machine and it worked the first time.

Not sure why there is a difference but in my case there was.
