First off I would like to say this ROM kicks ass. So far its the best out there. I do have a question on how to install the themes. I tried flashing the Carbon one linked from Zen but it just caused my phone to get stuck on Boot. I tried installing the slide ones from SD but that doesnt seem to work either. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Changing theme FC

This is really a non issue but I just wanna make sure I am not the only one this is happening to. It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes when i change themes I am getting a FC on com.tmobile.thememanager, It is not a big deal at all because the theme applies itself fine and there are no other issues besides the FC plus it doesn't happen every time, like I said just wanted o make sure I wasn't the only one.

Also, I know that signals has his smooththeme and there are a bunch in zenupdater but are there any other themes floating around out there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
The newer slide themes in the updater listed under experimental will fc when changing themes they are different than the original themes that came with the Rom. I have not looked at why this happens yet.

The signals theme will only work on the older version of the Rom.

As far as I know there are no other themes out there or at least I have not seen any.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
I would find all your themes in the updater. Only the ones that are compatible with your Rom version will show.

Flashing a theme from an old Rom version will damage the Rom and it will probably not boot.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Zippy is right, I wouldn't mess with any of my old themes. But Thatguythatdid posted somewhere how to modify the APK themes that came with the ROM. You should search for that.

I am still using this ROM but have stopped developing any new themes because I've got mine right where I want it. Check out my signature links for the 0.9.6 theme and 5x5 Rosie launcher mod. I've seen the buzz for the CDMA Hero dwindle since the EVO came out. I've also seen people not use Sense as much as I thought they would, and I'm only developing Sense mods and themes, since that's what I use.

This is my current setup, I can post a single update.zip with all the mods rolled into one if anyone wants, but I don't have time right now to single out certain mods, etc. It'll take me a little bit to put together the zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
OK, awesome like I said no biggie just want to make sure this was happening to other people, I didn't realize it was only the experimental ones it was doing that to.

In this post there is a theme for ZenEXP 0.9.6 smooth, there were separate posts for 0.9.2 and 0.9.5....I am currently running 0.9.6.3 ....so this one won't work because of that last .3?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693767
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
I would definitely be interested in that update.zip........would that give me your battery icon as well?.....the icons aren't built into the theme right? those would be part of your mods?....If that is the case were can we get mods for this rom since we can't use any of the regular hero mods because of the t-mob port.

so this also means that the ZenEXP 0.9.6 smooth theme with work if I am running 0.9.6.3 correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
If it was made for a version it only works on that version.

If the version is any different it probably will not work.

Sent from my Sprint Htc Evo 4g
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
I don't mean to beat a dead horse but the version for the theme just says 0.9.6.....my ROM says 0.9.6.3.....does the .3 make the theme incompatible, or does it mean this them should work with all versions of 0.9.6.x?......sorry if this is really stupid or i am missing something I just never saw a 0.9.6 in the change log, I just saw it skip from 0.9.5 to 0.9.6.2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I will test with the latest ROM Zen has posted when I finish the update.zip and will report my findings here.

EDIT: And WYSIWYG on the theme. The battery and everything is built in to the update.zip.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
OK, awesome thanks a lot man it is greatly appreciated! Also I understand that you are not separating all of the different mod's from the theme and you are just bunching them all into one update.zip, but just so I am understanding it correctly, changing the battery icon (or and of the icons for that matter) is not part of the actual theme....that is technically a separate mod correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
There was a 0.9.6 it just was pulled pretty quick cuz of a few problems.

If the number is any different at all ie missing numbers etc it will more then likely not work or if it still boots then some of the changes we did could be over written and you would actually be down grading. This will make upgrading later if we have an update be hard or impossible unless you do a complete new flash to bring you back to the version we released as that is what we build the updates around. We expect that you are running a certain version with un modified files.

So no a theme for 0.9.6 will not work on 0.9.6.2 or 0.9.6.3 cuz any changes we made from 0.9.6 to 0.9.6.2 will not be in the theme or may overwrite files that we changed back to old versions.

You can try it but nandroid backup first.

When we make changes we can't go in and modify all the themes made as well it just takes too long and we were not the original creators of the themes.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
Thanks for the clarification on that!!.....sorry if I just wasn't getting it, but it makes absolute sense now. Once again man thanks for all your work on this ROM it is absolutely amazing!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You will get the battery icon. If you want to be sure, you can look in the update.zip and see all of the apk's that will be changed. These are full apk's, so they will wipe out anything you've modified yourself. This is why the theme has to be rebuilt with every release, which is why I haven't upgraded to 0.9.6.3 yet. If Zen or Zippy make a change to the Messaging widget apk, then you apply my update.zip over it (which has my themed Messaging widget apk in it), then you'll wipe out any changes they made. My theme changes the Rosie.apk a lot in order to have a 5x5 workspace, so in order to update it per the latest ROM, I would have to modify each apk again in order to ensure I don't mess with any of Zen's updates.

To clarify, my update.zip is nothing like the slide themes. A slide theme is in its own apk and only modifies what is contained within it. My update.zip, or anyone elses for that matter, repackages Mail.apk let's say and overwrites the Mail.apk already on the phone. All these apk's work off of different frameworks, etc., which is why you can't use my theme on another ROM. Metamorphing sort-of gets around this, but isn't entirely foolproof.

And that's all I have to say about that. :p

Hey would you have a problem if I wrapped your theme up in a mymodetheme and fancy widget for the clock? I'm gonna do it for my phone but I don't want to just post it unless it's okay with you or I could just pm you a link to it so you can put it on your page
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hayabusa03rx:
Do you have the sd card mounted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
I fixed it. I just wiped Dalvik and did a factory reset and it worked fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
I am also interested in that theme, it is sexy as hell. Nice work!!

Is that the update file that has it all in it, that's located on the link from your sig?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Let me test it on 0.9.6.3 first. Then I'll post.

Im sure there's been a fix for the *86 voicemail curse but could someone tell me where the hell it is? Or how to get rid of this beast...thanks in advanced
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i did that yesterday and it still said i had 2 voicemails when i didnt..... or is that a different curse? loli tried this build yesterday and i gotta say, i love it! its pretty fast. and i love the look of it, except for the icons. they remind me to much of the iphone and i cant stand the iphone. is there a theme that we can use for the current version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Go for it. I'd be curious to see it in action. I assume you'll only affect the items that are contained within the mymode theme apk, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
I would love to try it too!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
same here. i want to get rid of the iphone icons lol

Yes and I'll also include a themed version of fancywidget with your clock theme.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] neonjam:
Excellent... Gmail Push is the only thing that keeps me from using the rom. I know Zenulator mentioned earlier in the thread that the Gmail push having issues was due to the implementation of Friendstream in this rom..so an fyi if you haven't looked into that/know that...

Thanks for continuing development on this rom, Zippy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
Thanks so much for the hard work, Zippy. Even with its current quirks, Zen is the best ROM out there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I am thinking about trying this rom out and I am a little confused as to what exactly to flash...I see I need to flash 0.9.6.2 and then flash the update...but where is 0.9.6.2? Is it the ZenEXP-0.9.6.2OC Toasted?

Also are there any other fixes or anything that are necessary to flash to try this rom out? I am coming from Aloysius. I know to wipe everything first data, davilk, and ext...anything else I need to do or can expect?

Thanks in advance!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Just wipe clean, flash ZenEXP-0.9.6.2OC Toasted and then the update. Reboot and you are good to go!

Zippy / Zen, can I ask how the bug hunting is going?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dromango:
Hi, Just want to say that this rom runs smooth and one of my favorites. I went from flipz 2.0c to 0.9.5.

The minor thing that bug me are when I get text if someone leaves a voicemail.

Theres no update setting for updating prl. I am currently on 60664.

I need a file for 60667 to manual install and also if possible to changing pri:flipz_01 to stock.

It gets confusing when you have different modifications on system information and that sometimes a rom can have problems if its not based on those modifications. I want to rewrite everything back to stock but keeping this rom working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
No way too update your PRL using this rom. You need to nandroid backup this rom then nandroid restore any Sprint based rom (Fresh is OK), update your PRL and then nandroid restore your Zen rom. The PRL update will carry over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rally187:
I did just that actually I flashed fresh's new beta and updated the prl but it stayed at 60664. Is location a factor?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
to change pri back, load up a non fresh sprint rom (i.e. damage) and update profile.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
Shouldn't be a factor. What I did was create a backup, restored to my original stock(rooted) backup, updated prl then restored back to Zen. Took maybe 15 minutes and didn't lose any settings data or contacts, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rally187:
yea thats what i did but the update never when to anything other then 60664.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Cordy:
From my understanding text message limits are 160 but on the sprint roms anything over it will just send as multiple text messages. I believe it can do up to 5 which is 800 characters. Also anything more than that would end up being sent as an mms instead of sms. Also since I don't recall anyone giving feedback on the matter, the VVM app works as you stated however the provisioning message it's supposed to send out to actually work just sits in undelivered. If anything I would chat with Darch about how he got VVM working on the Legend builds. Different framework I know but VVM wasn't designed for Legend build either so maybe he has some information that could point you in the right direction.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Fixed video recording and video playback. So now you can record video and watch youtube.

I'll make a combined rom and upload beta4.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
does it have all the fixes included? :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Hopefully all the fixes besides market. The market fix needs to be applied after you run the market first and then reboot. So there is a slight delay in Beta4. It'll be up in a hour or so now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
i just downloaded the beta4 isnt it that one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CFitzgerald11:
so can it be flashed right over beta3?

** Don't know if this is related, but since messing with the java files I cannot do a nandroid restore. The phone bootloops into recovery all the time. Can still flash though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Cordy:
As an FYI I ran the market fix before opening market but after running the rom first and then rebooting and I was able to access it as well as download apps. Flashed rom set it up reboot, flash update, reboot, then flashed market fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Zen, you don't need the market fix as a separate update. Make a script that will do the fix in the root of the ZIP, add this to your update-script "run_program PACKAGE:<script_name>" at the end.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
not yet? :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vocalize:
I'm loving the rom so far, definitely loving the icons ;D

The Market fix is working pretty awesomely too, but then I used MyBackUp, and got myself stuck in an infinite boot loop, anyway I can fix that?

I'm stuck at where it shows the MyTouch "My" sign, then loops into the mini commercial, :x I tried reflashing the original beta, and that didn't work, tried wiping dalvik-cache also, anything else I should give a shot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
this is a new bug for me....... I just noticed if I try and power down with the end call button the phone reboots. Anyone else? Any ideas?:o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Powers down fine here. I'm using the exact files I've posted. Including all the updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
I'm pretty sure you have to flash back to a ROM that isn't Fresh-based because he has removed most of the Sprint core from his ROMs. In other words, Fresh's new beta isn't the one to do this with.

Do it with DamageControl or nfinitefx45's Stock .6 ROM and you should get the PRL update like normal. Then you can nandroid back to Zen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenstitution:
Still one of the smoothest roms out there. question, i've never been able to figure out what updating your prl does or if its necessary. anybody care to shed some light? too used to the simply complicated g1 days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
It's the Preferred Roaming List (someone correct me if I'm wrong here) the PRL lists BOTH home networks and roaming. Theoretically it could be important to update it, but I don't think it really is unless you have a phone with s severely outdated PRL on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
This is correct. A good way to gauge when it might be time to update your profile and PRL is if you are experiencing terrible signal around your home and work areas for an extended period of time (like a couple days or more). If your signal is great, then it's probably not extremely necessary.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
It might be possible to swap out the dialer and phone app for Sprint versions and have mobile network and the codes working but you will loose the new functions of the slide dialer.

Also it would take mote than a theme for the sprint dialer to work.

Some resources would have to be tracked down changed and also smali work to get it to function.

That would be my last resort to get those features to work.

But even with the Sprint dialer profile and prl updates probably will still not work.

Well, after attempting to apply my 0.9.6OC theme to 0.9.6.3, I ran into odex and FC problems. Unfortunately, I don't have time to rebuild it from scratch based on the latest ZenEXP ROM. Instead, I have wrapped up all of my mods and themes into 1 update.zip that can be applied to 0.9.6OC (very stable too). I'm sure this won't be too popular considering people will want the latest ROM, not an older iteration, but I don't have time right now to keep up with all the great changes that Zen, Zippy, etc. are pushing out. Feel free to break it down, tear it up and reapply if you dare. :D
