Hey guys,
I've seen some people asking for numbered battery mods for stock or StreakDroid4 2.5.0 ROMs so I put together a simple theme (thanks to UOT Kitchen) and wanted to share it with anyone who is interested.
The theme simply changes the look of status bar and the icons, battery, system menus, adds new Roboto font ( from ICS), ICS window animations and Blue Android boot animation. Also, due to Raven 2 kindly allowing us use some files from his theme, you will now get ICS-like Phone, Contacts, Gallery and Calendar apk. I'm attaching some screenshots so you can get a visual idea.
I'm running on StreakDroid4 2.5.0 but it may also work on the deodexed or stock 408 ROM.
As usual, I do not take any responsibility for any issues that the process may cause - proceed with caution
To install:
1.Download the zip file below
2. Flash via CWM
Big thanks to TheManii for his ROM and Raven 2 for letting us use his files in this theme.
Just in case you were wondering, the screen lock on the first image is Widgetlocker which isn't free, but you can download MagicLocker or MiLocker that have similar look for free. The launchers I used in the shots (just to show different looks) are Go Launcher EX (with ICS theme) and Espier Launcher both are free too. Also shown and used is another free app - Widgetsoid.

Thanks!

Also, if Raven ever comes back to the site I would like to ask him if we can use his themed Phone and Contacts apks that have an ICS look and I will include it in this theme.

Your language is fine, no worries. Thanks for letting us use your files. I'm going to update the OP and attach the new theme file.
I'll try it out on my deoxed 408 and see how it goes. I just put TeamDRH ICS on my Viewsonic GTab (no thanks to Viewsonic - you suck) and would like a consistent interface across devices
Cool, let me know how it works/looks. It isn't the actual ICS UI but the color scheme and other mods at least remind you of one
It works great! I flashed with CWM, cleared cache & delvik, and fixed permissions for good measure. I especially like the battery icon. Now to find a way to port ICS over to this and we will be set. Maybe our new Korean friends are working on that?

Nice, glad to hear that. Yes, I agree about ICS port or a new ROM from our Korean friends would be great. I think one of their main contributors Kukjin11 is going to upload his ROM in a couple of days, so we will see from there
Cool stuff.
Thank you.
thanks, awesome
hey guys iam having the 408 olleh gb running on my phone with ravens theam on top of it..
can i upgrade it to ics them here.. if yes do i have to rename the file that has been given here....
if possible can some one please write the steps since iam very new to this stuff...
thanks alot guys..
hey crainz,
Do you have CWM installed? Are you on deodexed stock 408 ROM created by TheManii? The theme was based on deodexed ROM files from StreakDroid4 2.5.0 (which I use) and I believe it works on the deodexed 408 stock - both of which put together by TheManii. I don't know for sure if it works with a normal odexed ROM - so let's hear from TheManii or anyone else who can verify.
If you have CWM installed, you can easily flash files, like the StreakDroid4 2.5.0 which is basically stock with tweaks and debranded (so no Olleh stuff) and then flash my theme. I recommend you install Titanium backup and back up your apps and data so when you install a new ROM you can restore (or import) you saved data like passwords, shortcuts, game levels, and so on.
Edit: Here's the XDA Wiki page that TheManii created which has the links to SD4 2.5.0 and CWM Recovery downloads:

If you have CWM installed then you can go ahead and install StreakDroid4 2.5.0. However, you would need to do a factory reset first so back your data up using Titanium Backup (this is a free version) and then you can restore all your apps and data once you flashed SD4. After that just flash ICStock theme and you're good to go.
Thank a lot for the information streak4m3
Just 2 more question before i start the process of upgrade.
1. when i installed the CWM using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423002
Ans started the phone i was able to get the CWM to work. But once i shut down the phone again and try
You switch mute to OFF hold both volume buttons down and power on. You will see a menu with 3 options, choose the one to upgrage SW package and choose with the camera button.
iam getting the Blue colour screen. iam not getting the CWM options.
Is this how it is suppose to work or am i doing something wrong.
2.Once i have flashed StreakDroid4 2.5.0 after renaming the file to upgrade.pkg.how do i flash the ICS theam?? IF you could kindly give me the steps that would be great..

OK, first of all you're not supposed to rename SD4 2.5.0 to update.pkg
Let's make sure I understand you correctly. You're saying that you have (or had) CWM installed and you verified that it works (worked), right? That means that you can (could) get to CWM recovery and see all the options, like: reboot system, install zip, wipe cache partition, advanced and so on, correct?
Are you now saying you can't get to CWM recovery? That it somehow goes to Dell stock recovery option which is blue (I think)? CWM mode has blue color text too so that's why it is a little bit confusing.
If you somehow lost CWM recovery just install it again and then simply flash SD4 2.5.0
i have seen the option that come with CWM reboot system, install zip, wipe cache partition, advanced and so on...
This comes once i have installed it using the instruction listed in the post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1423002
i even was able to create a back up the rom on my system using CWM.. which got listed in the sdcard as well.
but once i shutdown the phone and start it again i dont get that CWM again it comes up with the blue dell flash tool.(which is in blue colour again) just like CWM
Just wanted to know if this is the same that happens in you case as well or are you able to get CWM evertime.
(if i install it again Iam able to get it to work once and them again back to the dell flash screen)
Just wanted to know if there is a way by which we can get it permenantly to work without having to flast it again and again..

CWM should be there every time - it's a permanent thing. You can install it again and flash SD4 2.5.0 during that one time that you can get into CWM recovery.
hey
Here is what i did. I flashed SD4 2.5.0 on my phone using CWM.. all went well
Then i flashed your ICS theme.. and restarted the phone.. that went well as well.
But what i did after that was i reset the phone to default using the option in settings.
The phone just stoped working completly.
It got stuck at the Blue Andriod startup... I tryed to do the process all over again...
No luck.... I think i have messed up my phone completly.
But before i started doing all this what i did was i took a back up of my phone using CMW..
So when restored the system back all came back using CWM the phone was back and working again...
What did i do wrong..... and is there any better way of doing this???

Not really sure what exactly may have happened in your situation. So are you up and running again? And why did you want to do a factory reset after flashing SD4 2.5.0?
If you're phone is not up and runing right now then you need to get to CWM if you can and just reflash SD4 and the theme. If you can't get to CWM, then you need to restore your phone using TheManii's steps in his thread for unbricking your phone (basically you would need to flash via fastboot options).
Hi All
I recently bought a ST7 but was disappointed to see no compatible recovery or custom roms for it.
A LITTLE HISTORY:
I did find a Crystal_Root.zip on the net which installed the SU on my tab.
But I couldn't change any CPU settings via the kernel tuner or the rom toolbox (they were buggy and acting up) and it corrupted my system in the end after I modified build.prop to add the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec.
I triple checked the property name and value in rom toolbox, it asked for a reboot when I tried to save the changes and it got stuck at the boot animation screen.
I had to take it to the customer care to get it fixed (which wasn't very pleasant, had to wait there for 4 hours to get it done).
NOW, THE IMPORTANT BIT:
Is there a way to backup my stock rom and put it in a update.zip or such so I could flash it back on if I have a similar situation in future?
I did try: adb pull / and copied the files over to my pc (but not sure about the updater-script part or do I not need it?)
To an experienced developer, a twrp or clockworkmod port for ST7 would be great and much appreciated. I know there is one for ST8 and 10 but none for ST7?
Maybe asking for too much, a custom rom port of jelly bean for ST7?
P.S. it is my first post here. So please be kind.
Any help with Andriod Upgrade?
I too have been looking out for custom rom or atleast upgrade to Android 4.1 or 4.2 for the Karbonn Smart Tab 7 (ST7).
Has anyone been able to upgrade? Because lots of issues with stock ROM. I keep getting message that no SD Card found even though the SD card is present and detected by the device.

you can probably solve this by installing the official rom all over again or install a custom rom from the development section..
as per my knowledge you cant get back your lockscreen
If you have actually rooted your phone, I think it is the best to find the same version of android you were using, either custom roms or stock android and just flash it. If you can find the same version, there is no need to wipe data, but backup it anyway, in case something goes wrong.
mmmmm i think ICS Lockscreen depends on framework !
any way flash any custom rom . or your stock one again
I've been looking all day for a custom ROM for my device (on title) but without any luck. On my search I luckily came across these forums, so now I shall ask you, is there any way to install CyanogenMod in this device (it's currently unsupported) or any other custom ROM with the ThemeChooser (Paranoid Android or AOKP would be nice too, for example), since my final objective is to make it look kinda like this: Transparent app background and transparent status bar.
I would really appreciate your help since I'm just getting into this and since this device isn't much popular, I'm having a hard time.
Help i8550l
IS there any way to install a cwm recovery in this device? i've been googling this for 2 weeks now... and i cant find a way...
i already tried
recoveryX (device not supported)
ROM MANAGER (not supported)
odin - i cant find a valid cwm recovery file for this device, i always get the "FAILED"
try to use the factory recovery mode to install a kitkat rom, but it does not show any files in the sd card.
please help!
I'm trying really hard to do this without being dopey. I want to get my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510 to slim down and speed up, so I want to root and apply a new ROM. This much I'm pretty sure of. I understand that I need to replace the recovery code, which will allow me to replace the stock ROM with a modded ROM. (How am I doing?). I think I need Odin running on my PC to load the new recovery. I understand booting into recovery mode (I think). I've read about putting the new ROM on my device and rebooting into it. I believe I then need to install google apps to get some of the basic stuff (like Play store) back on the device. I assume that is because they are not part of the modded ROMs? But... how the heck does one decide WHICH recovery, WHICH ROM, WHICH gapps and the right versions of each? I'm going around and around. I'm willing to do the research, but I'm not even clear on the high-level process and steps, let alone the details, finer points. I'm a retired app developer (client server, Oracle, Powerbuilder) so I have some idea of what I'm doing. Just some. Thanks in advance if anyone cares to help.

A custom ROM can be installed via custom recovery or Odin, so you don't really need a custom recovery before installing it, however it is higly advised.
To say it all, you don't even need root to flash a custom recovery. Some custom recovery like CM also come already rooted.
It is because they are not part of the custom ROM, since including gapps source code would take up more space and some other issues. Regarding the fact about which recovery and ROM to choose... the fact that there is a lot of them doesn't mean that they are very different. Some are based on the source code of another and just add little features that one must be looking for in order to be interested. Generally, TWRP and CWM are the ones most documented. With a simple google comparision research you should be able to decide. Custom ROMs are also based on two vastly documentet projrcts: CM and AOSP. Start with the regular ones, try them both, stock with one if you don't need anything else or start looking around among the forks.
However, I started using custom ROMs with an objective: build source code. For this scope, I decided to use CM for it's huge documentation, since I was looking for a kernel that did one particolar thing, but there wasn't one so I did it on my own. Just to say, I don't know how it feels like to be in decisive about what ROM to pick up.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.
