[Q]Installing themes…settings - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an issue when installing custom themes on Wolfbreak 2.2 rom. (More than likely user error).
I follow the install instructions..as u understand them. Download zip file...install using xrec(install custom zip from SD card)..reboot...go into settings/cyan/user tweaks and choose "theme"...then reboot to see applied theme.
The problem I am having is after first reboot the theme is applied...and going into user tweaks and selecting another theme does nothing. After reboot the last installed theme is still there.
Could someone explain what I have done wrong?
TIA

You can root with one click lag fix but don't apply anything else from oclf just root with it it's the first box you'll see when you open the app Flash it up but make sure you don't have a lag fix running or you'll brick your phone

And most roms have instructions posted in the op follow the instructions and you'll be fine

OCLF off of Marketplace
Select Root phone, follow instructions.
Install Rom Manager (Again Marketplace) open Rom manager, select the first option at the top "Flash clockwork recovery" this will allow you to make backups of your Rom in case of soft bricks, or bad installs.
give OCLF superuser access(will popup automatically when you select root)
I recommend using the Lagfix V2 option, select A size between 1-2GB (1024-2048MB)
I have done this with the JI6 OTA and both min and my Gf's phones.
I also recommend IF you plan on installing roms you have samsung drivers AND Odin installed on your PC with Ready access when you attempt any modification
under the development section of the forum is a post the has the Stock jfd and JI6 roms for our phones book mark it
if you plan on flashing froyo, i recommend Obsidian V3, or Onyx R3.1 (personal preference)

oh yes and if your a newbie at all of this please please please for the love of all that is sacred, do not play with Voodoo, or installing Custom kernels
Read read Read. then play with those
Rom installs are really solid and easy to do without any for knowledge
there should be an installation bible somewhere i'll find it and post link

Obsidian uses Samsung Touchwiz as standard Launcher
Onyx uses Launcher Pro and has Touchwiz Removed from phone, other then that the roms are fairly similar in quality and stability
I have a paid version of Launcher pro so I prefer Onyx myself. if you like the default samsung launcher then go Obsidian.
screenshots are a slightly modified Onyx R3.1 to my liking. but you get a decent idea on what it looks like. standard dark theme. Black, with a brush metal look. on most menu's including the dialer standard.
oh yes and you flash these through Clockwork recovery, install on internal SD card, open Rom Manager and select "install Rom from SD Card"
i also Recommend you install titanium backup Free version from market.
open it allow superuser access
select "problems" on first boot to force install Busy box.
press menu button --> Batch --- > scroll down to Backup all user Apps + data
after that flash prefered ROM

[Q] Problems when flashing .zip files in clockworkmod recovery

Hi,
I've been playing around with various apps, mods, launchers etc. out here rescently, and was unable to flash some of them.
First thought was they might be incompatible with my device, but some out of hero forums aren't working as well.
some hardware info:
Device: HTC Hero [T-Mobile Google G2]
rooted: yes
ROM: Elelinux v 2.3 (based upon cyanogenmod v7)
recovery: latest clockworkmod avillable for hero, i think it's 2.5.0.7 (?)
Strange thing now is, if I try flashing some .zip via "flash .zip from sdcard" my phone doesn't seem to like, it first says "opening file... starting installation..." (or something like that, just the usual way) and then completely resets clockworkmod returning to starting page as if i just had rebooted into recovery. anyone had similar problems? or can help? would be glad about it as for now i can't use lots of wonderful mods the devs are working on
just for interest, has/ will hero get clockworkmod v3? hero CDMA already got it...
thanks in advance,
summonerofdeath
Which .zip did you try flash?
Try with Amon Ra's recovery.
I don't think it will.
Flashed for example Rover theme and extras for it. Was able to flash extras but not the theme. Weird. Wasn't able to flash some modded-to-look-like-senseUI-ADW-launcher too, always same strange behaviour like said above. As well, sometimes got the issue of successfully flashing zip files with no effect, means no changes.
Already tried amonra, no solution for me as it can't handle unsigned zip files and no special folders.
Thanks & greets,
SummonerOfDeath

Very odd, have others reported problems with it?
It sounds like a bad package file to me, maybe.
For the problem of flashing zips with no changes, manually mount /system and flash again. This usually sorts it.
And for your other problems get me a recovery log and I'll have a look, you can find this by flashing your non-working file and then going to advanced and report error. That will save a log on to your SD-card under clockworkmod.

Recovery's revenge
hi,
just flashed elelinux again and wasn't able to flash...
- ADW launcher
- Angry Birds for Hero
- Rover Theme
- Optimus 2X Theme
- ArcSwift theme
attached recovery.log, had a look at it: just restarts after checking update binary... i am no pro, but this seems strange to me...
this bug starts gettin on my nerves......
greets, Summoner
ooooookay found SOME of the issues.
angry birds: just renamed . zip to .apk and installed
rover theme: had no update script, but .apks in the zip
only strange thing, some zips with update script wont install :/

CM7 can not access settings

Hello everyone.
I just flashed Longhorn 2.6 but i have a problem.
I flashed CM7 Settings and Theme Options but when i tried to open
the settings it forceclosed.
I did factory reset,wipe still the same.
Any opinion?
The developer tells you this will happen in the very first post.
cantrenc
This is what he says
I still need to remove the CyanogenMod from the Settings Menu. It is not a defect, and it will FC if you try to use it.
If you want the CM7 Settings and Theme Options, download and flash this zip file

clarification on installing Omega Rom

Hi Guys
I have decided my first Rom will be Omega.. hoping I an keep it for ages as I dont relish jumping from ROM to ROM.
I have read lots of posts about Omega and the official thread but I still cant seem to find a complete step by step installation guide.
is the newest version v28? it says on the thread (Indies thread)
Please read the following before flashing v28:
1. Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup, in case you need to restore it.
Uderstood
2. If you want to flash theme or kernel, please make sure first they are compatible with Jelly Bean Omega
Understood
3. Please update Omega Files to v1.03 from Play Store More additions to v1.03 will be added soon.
I have to download the Omega Files app BEFORE flashing the ROM?
4. Get New Play Store from here: Play Store v3.9.16 - install via CWM Recovery
Fine but when do I flash this? before or after flashing the ROM
5. Contacts mod with Greek index, download from here and flash it with CWM Recovery.
Dont know what this is about?
Ok clicked the link in the sig to be taken to where the Omege Roms are, there is JB and one for ICS. i assum its the JB one i go for if i want JB
do I flash using Odin or do I boot to recover and install from SD?
currently just running stock rom..all i have done do far is rooted phone installed CWM and Titanium and busybox oh and Rom Manger

Android 4.0.4
Kernel Version 3.0.15-928452 - user
Build IMM76D.I9300XXBLH3
Hi
Dl the omega .zip file, then flash it via the recovery.
The kitchen app must be updated after the flash. For the playstore, it's the same flash it after.
I don't know about the contacts. Maybe someone else can help you.
Don't worry, it's very simple with this rom, moreover you got AROMA so you will be able to choose some option at the installation.
Send us a message when you succeed

3. If this is your first Omega install, then simply update the Omega Files App through playstore once your Omega install has been complete.
4. You can flash the playstore at any point before or after. I would suggest after you have installed Omega Rom.
5. If you dont know, prolly dont need it so dont worry about it. Sorry I personally have no clue what it is.
Reboot and flash zip via SD, Very easy to install with the Aroma Installer.
thanks done now with no prolems.. i think
however even though i went for the Bloatware removal installation and i did a factory reset through cwm recovery, then wiped cache then delvik cache, under storage it says i just have 6.5gb remaining even though the list above adds up to nothing really due to bloatware removal. seems the storage for my phone prior to flashing rom is still stored somehow?
Any thoughts on why and how i can fix this?
edit just installed es file explorer and under SD card all my apps are there prior to flashing ROM, although not showing in dock
I just deleted everything manually of the SF card
is Omega v28 supposed to be only have 11GB total space even wIth the bloat ware removed.mine shows 11GB free now thought it would be n more though
I am really looking the ROM though, quite slick.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
11gb sounds about right. It doesn't sound like the factory reset worked 100%.
Sounds like you got it sorted now.
Now enjoy adding themes and mods!
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
I am indeed
Just flashed Siyah Kernal, 15 toggles (love it), and Blue theme..
I need to just get my head around the Stweaks now so I can sensibly try some overclocking.. saw a guy on youtube who has this overclocking pull down notification with a nifty little schedule that could overclock/underclock depending on the situation. I'd love to know if that is something available through the Omega ROM?
Haven't heard of that app personally. ...
I have undervoted my phone to -50v and very impressed with battery life. Generally get 5+ hrs of screen time and 2 days on 1 charge.
Haven't tried overclocking as it runs smooth as is
Not sure which blue theme but give motomoto blue a go if your not using that 1
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
Yes its Mottomoto I haev installed. love it.
the overclock app I saw that lets you set profiles is called Android Overclock from Playstore. Its not free though its £1.49. looks like the one i saw though.. havent bought it. i'll see what I can do from the Stweaks first once I figure out how to use it
Once problem and it seems the only problem I see is that the battery life has depleted to 60 % since 7am. thats just a bit of browsing and installing the Siyah Kernal and Mottomoto theme and 15 toggles.
Normally I play resource intensive games on a 40 minute commute, plus calls, internet and streaming to spotify and on stock I would have close to 80% by the 9am.. and maybe 75% by now. so seems to be depleting rather fast. All connections off, sync off and auto brightness set to minimum..
any thoughts?.. I am using the Siyah Kernel from the Omege Kitchen.

[Q] removing a zip file i flashed to a partition??

so i have flashed cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and the corresponding gapps. when finding the perfect theme i wanted on my phone, i found that i needed to flash a particular zip file to make the theme work. now everytime i try to open the theme chooser it force closes the settings. is there a step i forgot? this is the second time i have done this and each time it takes about an hour for all my apps to download and update and i really dont wana have to do this again.
is there a way to just remove the contradicting zip file that seems to be hindering my theme chooser?
the last time i had cm10.1.3 on my phone with only gapps flashed, theme chooser worked without falter. im 99% positive i just need to remove the added zip file. any help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and i have tried wiping cache/delvik.
