Ok guys so with a ton of reading and researching here's a little thing I was trying to figure out for awhile and finally did it so Im going to share a little guide. Now non of this is mine, I just follow instructions well
With all the Gingerbread talk/themes I haven't seen anyone here theme the stock MT4G Swype. I'm on CM7 Nightlies but I believe it should also work with stock MT4G sense since I pulled it from there.
Now before we begin I take no responsibility if this bricks your phone or make it burst in flames. This guide does need a know how to adb and have jdk and jre installed properly to sign the apk.
First we need the stock swype:
-I followed this guide from Marine6680
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959192&highlight=swype
Now we need the Gingerbread Theme for Swype:
-I got the files from Marurban
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930306
-The file we need is the 2.6 v0.3 WVGA without Mic
Marurban's guide was kinda confusing and that was where I was having a little trouble. So then I found stone_ship's guide and helped me a lot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955721
I simply copied just all the keyboard pngs and left glow and wcw png stock. I still need to learn how to change the font color on the popup
After you have signed your themed swype.apk use Marine6680's guide to install it back to your phone. If your having trouble with this I will try with the best of my ability to help but no promises Enjoy!
Also Please thank Marine6600, Marurban and stone_ship for their guides to make this possible.
FYI, you do relize that if you are just replacing the images as you did, that it can be done in about 10 seconds using 7zip. You dont need to resign the zip, no Apk Manager or anything like that. And this isnt really a "Guide" but just a post with links to guides from other people. If you would like a "Guide on image replacement using 7zip" I will be happy to help.

Did you even read the OP? It clearly says he didn't do anything as he took it from other peoples stuff, it even has name of the people on it. I guess he just found it confusing from original doc so he wrote his own but IDK why he posted here.

No I didnt read the OP, I just posted blindly. WTF kind of stupid comment is that?
When someone makes a thread with "Guide Theme" in the title, I kinda EXPECT A GUIDE. Not links to guides. Second I am in no way trying to flame this guy (like you tried to do to me) but let him know that there is much easier ways to achieve what he has done. I also even offered to help him make a simple GUIDE for doing this.
And whats up with your post? And I quote:

He wrote his own what? GUIDE?
My point with that is it is easy to pick apart someones post huh.
I mean, I dont even know why you posted in this thread. Your comment added absolutly no help to the thread and only tried to flame me.
I will now end this rant before I say something I shouldnt
And your comment added so much help, maybe you should write another EZ guide for it. No one flamed you as you simply try to bash the guy without clearly comprehending what he did. No one cares what you expected thats like you claiming to write guides from using other peoples and not giving them credit for it.
Whoa... Sorry for this guys all I wanted to do was share what I found out myself cause I wanted to theme my swype to gingerbread and didn't know how. So instead of asking I just read up and searched and didn't come up with anything simple. My bad for thinking it might help people.
Mod can you lock or delete this please

Don't worry about it the guy is a troll and thief its just funny as he steal other peoples stuff then claim he writes them but when you did something and even properly named people where you got it from he try to bash you. As I said "I guess he just found it confusing from original doc so he wrote his own but IDK why he posted here." You don't need to apologize you did what you thought would help others in good intention, that is what matters regardless of the trolling from hypocrites. We are here to help others.
TrueBlue_Drew said:
First let me apologize for your mucking up your thread. My original post was only meant to offer help to you and somehow it has turned into this.
There is no reason to lock or delete this thread, you did nothing wrong. As a matter of fact you did a great job of researching and figuring out how to do what you wanted to do. I was only offering help to make this more of a guide for what you did and help show you a easier way of achieving it, so you could in turn help people easier. Setting up APK manager and the other things you metioned can be time consuming, especially if you aren't familiar with how to do it.

No problem lets just start a new and please tell me how an easier way can be done. cause all the things I've read about theming swype was thru either metamorph (I'm still reading up on how to make one) and thru Ninjamorph which force closes on my swype. I never ran into 7zip like you mentioned. I usually just read and try to figure things out myself so please do explain
Im always up to new challenges and now knowing how apk manager sorta works I can deep dive on what I might or might not be capable of doing. its really an interesting program
It'd be nice to have something like this for the current beta version. I can't give up my voice-input button. No way.

Well you can still do it, just use the guide and download Marurban's gingerbread theme with the mic on it.
Seems like I missed the party...any how...what's the easiest way to get gingerbread Swype? I don't have my stock mt4g Swype anymore ...hehe!

Wrong section, please pay attention to where you are posting next time.
In regards to your question, there really isn't an "easier way". The AlphaRev tool is one of the easiest I have ever seen. I suppose if that is too hard you could void your warranty and go the HTC route(Not Recommended).
i already did it with HTC. i want clockwork or something.

Since you followed HTC's method you are stuck as of right now. Their method unlocks your bootloader, but still has a NAND lock keeping you from flashing to different partitions. This situation is similar to the OG Evo if I'm not mistaken. Just wait around and a root method should appear.

thank you! ugh i really hope it does, i hate not being rooted.
Shoulda used Alpharevs revolutionary. Sorry. Not bein a ass. But you may have to wait awhile. Give it some time someone will fix it for ya.
Sent from 3D A.W.E.S.O.M-O
You will see claims from people in these forums that they were able to root and install recovery using HTC's unlocking, but those are false claims. All of those posters had been previously rooted using revolutionary.io. No one that took the OTA on a phone that hadn't previously been unlocked have been successful installing a custom recovery.
Basically you have an unlocked bootloader, now you will have to wait for someone to come up with an exploit like "rage against the cage" from the Evo to unlock the nand and attain s-off. If you had the original Evo 4g you will remember that in order to root you had to use unrevoked or Toast's method. Something similar to that will now be needed.
For those reading this your best option is to hold off using HTC's unlocker and if you haven't taken the 2.08 update use revolutionary.io to unlock your phone and if you did take the update or have a phone that came with the update, wait for an update to revolutionary.io.

I completely agree that many of the new users do often get a bit excited and "rush" to root or unlock their devices (without fully understanding or reading directions) and end up in a lurch. But not a single person on this forum should log in to make a person feel bad or incompetent. If you see someone that jumped the gun and is lost, please help them. If you can't, then just let someone who can do it. We are all here to learn and help each other out. Let's stick to that and everyone will be happy.

Amen! I totally agree.
Furthermore, vBulletin, phpBB, Wiki* and most technologies used to share and publish information and content are just terribly inefficient in regards to topics like these (Android, rooting, development, tech, etc.). Newcomers simply can not come into forums like these and find the info or content they want consistently. You can tag, break stuff up into sub-forums and make stickies like 3M 'til your blue in the face but until you fully understand a noob's thought process and behavior and have the software reflect that we forever will have these problems.
One temporary resolution is to try to change the one variable we can change in this equation. That is to try to cease the negative comments since we already know noobs and their questions are a constant.
Do not use the HTC root method, just use the Revolutionary method and before doing so download and copy TWRP and a ROM and flash in HBOOT\Recovery
root with s-on
Like an idiot, I unlocked my bootloader via official HTC way. I have not rooted my phone with revolutionary, my phone was completely stock. I was able to flash CWM via fastboot and install superuser via CWM.
All In One Toolkit By hasoon2000:
Go here and Try this tookit first, its extremely simple and Hasoon has made a lot of effort making this. This will take care of a lot of your rooting needs outlined below.

Basic Knowledge:
I have been getting questions regarding unlocking and rooting a lot and I keep refering people to Binary's page he has made and spend a lot of time making. In Order to root you need to the the following in THIS order:
1. Unlock bootloader (For mac and linux go to this thread its for the rezound, but is exactly the same for the amaze. For pc go here)
2. Put Custom recovery on your phone (for mac, pc and linux look below on post #2)
3. Root your phone, Either with a custom rom (in the development section), or by flashing/installing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, via custom recovery that you just installed in step 2. In order to learn how to flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip go here. For extreme newbies look at the bottom of the post here to show you easy way to get into your recovery and flash/install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, via taking out back battery.
All this found in thread [HOW TO] ROOT HTC RUBY / AMAZE 4G in the first sticky post in General Section, in much more detail.
NOTE: ONE CLICK ROOT TOOL DOES NOT NOT UNLOCK YOUR PHONE NOR DOES IT PUT CUSTOM RECOVERY, IT ONLY ROOTS. YOU MUST FOLLOW BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOVE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Troubleshooting:
1.Common Problems: You can find more common problem questions answered here
2.Custom Recovery Problems: If have problems with step 3 (Custom Recovery) in [HOW TO] ROOT HTC RUBY / AMAZE 4G, or from the post below, go to this page.
3.WiFi and Bluetooth Problems: This is due to your kernel. I have seen multiple threads about this. Here are the ways to resolve this:
Whenever you download a rom there's a boot.img file in there. always extract the boot.img file and use xobarders kernel flasher to flash your kernel before you install your custom rom. If you are running a stock rom, download All in One Toolkit by Hasoon. Alternatively you can use the one and only custom kernel we have right now Faux's Custom kernel.
4.Touchscreen and Multitouch issues (Gaming Etc): It seems like installing a third party lockscreen widget such as Widgetlocker, Go locker, or Flyscreen, tends to interfere with the multitouch of the HTC amaze. Disable these widgets and restart your phone. Then use this program from the market to get 4 solid points touch points, If you are not getting it, uninstall the lockscreen widget altogether, and restart until you are constantly getting four touchpoints.

Rules and General Knowledge:
Over time we get many many questions in the General Section about things that can easily be found. I assure you if you read these in this order, you will learn a lot, and have almost no questions left.
1. Read the FAQ section: Here
2. Please Read the Bible in the development section, This is very helpful: Here
3. Look in the development section for what you need before asking for roms, stock roms, how to root, or how to unlock. (The development section is only three pages, I urge you to go through it if you want to learn how to do things and are unfamiliar with things: Here
4. Use the search feature before asking a question.

Camera Quality:
There have been many debates among people about camera quality, this is a guide that provides good information on camera and why the amaze has the best camera on the market
1. Aperture 101: http://inluminent.com/2005/12/14/digital-photography-101-aperture/
2. Lens size/focal length (wide viewing angle): http://www.paragon-press.com/lens/lenchart.htm
Some comparisons:
HTC Amaze: F/2.2, backside illuminated sensor, Excellent camera software, Close to zero shutterlag. 28 mm lens, very wide viewing angle (get more real estate in one picture)
Iphone 4S: F/2.4, backside illuminated sensor, Above Average camera software, Close to zero shutterlag 35 mm lens, wide viewing angle
Galaxy S II: F/2.65, NO backside illuminated sensor, Above Average camera software, Normal shutter lag, I think 28 mm lens (seems to be more like 30 or 35), very wide viwing angle.
Galaxy nexus: F/2.75, NO backside illuminated sensor, Basic ICS camera software, Zero shutterlag, 35 mm lens, wide viewing angle
The Amaze has the widest viewing angle, as it has a 28 mm lens, the lower the number the more real estate you get, look at number 2 (lens size) above. Look at how much wider of a field you get with galaxy s II and amaze 4g. Amaze has the lowest f/stop (aperture), f/2.2, meaning more light gets to the sensor. However lower f stop comes at a price, I prefer a f/2.4 on the iphone 4s but with a wide viewing angle of 28mm, no phone on the market has that right now. The higher your f-stop, the easier it will be to focus on larger subjects and objects and to keep more of the frame in focus, at the cost of a darker image. The lower f-stops will give you a blurrier background and possibly create some darkness around the corners of the frame, but a brighter overall image
compare images a when it shows you the distance: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/i...axy-S-II-vs-Amaze-4G-camera-comparison_id2883

I made this thread to help you and I have spend time editing it and linking important threads that are all collections from this amaze forum. I am in no way responsible if you manage to mess up your phone computer etc. With that said these events are very unlikely to occur. I assure you by reading this thread, 99 percent of your questions will be answered and you will go from a noob to a semi pro! Unlocking and Rooting require knowledge that can be found by reading this thread; there are only a few people to answer hundreds of questions in this forum, so it will be faster for you to read this than to ask questions

I might suggest losing the CAPS in post #1. People want a friendly atmosphere to learn in and get their questions answered. By having all CAPS it loses that effect almost immediately. Lose the CAPS and I'll stick it.

I've read somewhere there are 3.7 million Android devices activated on Christmas day alone. Assumed that 1% of those new device is the Amaze and that'll give us 37,000 new Amaze owner with assuming/estimately/approx. 10% wanted to root their phone ... that equal to 3,700 newbies and at least 1/2 of them will head to this forum
I wouldn't be suprise if my Mom log-in here and ask is rooting will allow her newly Amaze steamed her rices for her though.
So, get ready and be a little gentle if you could lads.

I believe if you are unable to unlock and root your phone, you better not do (actually not be allowed to do) it in the first place and first spend some time learning before doing it...people just want to root for the heck of it without understanding anything and they probably will have 2000 more questions after rooting and trying to customize and flash roms.
Do you know how much I had to read before I decided to unlock and root my nexus one the first time!!! I wanted to know what it meant what I could do etc. I screwed my phone up 2 times and tried different things to fix it and was able to...that's how you learn. with all the guides provided here people should have no problem learning SO SO much... This way they can get better use of their phone...learn how to flash themes, learn what hboot, fastboot, kernel, etc all that stuff does.
Please folks I urge you to read read read...It's not like your reading a boring textbook, its cool stuff that'll make you be able to use your phone much more effectively and to your liking.
I say binary should take out the noobproof recovery zip file and let people learn how to do it in fastboot and adb, thats how i learned, but then that'll create a massive load of questions i guess. learning a little bit of dos in the process its always usefull.

We're still getting the questions and I'm still getting the private messages but not as much now. I agree with you that the people that can't root the device because they can't follow the instructions should not be allowed to do so. Here's a simple reason why. When I used to develop ports and themes (couple roms back in the G1/MT3G days) I always had to include a disclaimer that WAS the link. In other words I would say download by clicking the disclaimer below which would waive their rights to blame me should something go wrong. Why did I do that? Because people couldn't read or follow instructions which caused a quite a bit of grief for me. Funny thing was that when I began using that method people were asking me "Where can I download?" and that would prove to me that they did not read the disclaimer or the instructions for that matter. I have also learned that you have to put words in color, different sizes, use underlines and even in bold to get their attention. In fact, I'll be willing to wager that that last sentence was the first to get your attention. Which proves my point. Developers need to make things stand out without making it look tacky.
Here's an example of one of my themes with what I was talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8899943
You must add pictures, underlines, changelogs that are easy to find, read and understand. Then you need to add the disclaimer. That way you don't need to worry about getting people pissed off at you for messing up their device.

Would have saved me a few minutes the other day if this was posted, but I just opened the .bat files in textedit and ran them in terminal(with whatever tweaks to the commands needed). Glad it is here for future osx/linux people though.
I never did figure out why, but a few different versions of fastboot didn't work for me- one of these had a version that worked for me, the others didn't, can't remember which worked.. RecoveryInstallerForNoobs, EasyKernelFlasher, Xboarder56-All-in-One-Tool. Or maybe it was fastboot-mac that I think I found on the htcdev site..
Either way, definitely cool to see more mac/linux friendliness in the forums I don't touch my pc if at all possible..

I don't know about 2.0, I downloaded it and some other files 2 nights ago when I got my amaze. Like I said, there were a few versions of fastboot that I tried that didn't work.. still the entire process of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery, and flashing a rom took less than 30 minutes once I figured out that the fastboot file was the issue. It probably helps that I thought I'd have this phone a month ago, so already researched everything I would need to know.
Binary tell me if you need me to change anything, or how the posts look. Feel free to change them. After seeing what you have done before, you have a better design sense than I do I guess
I was wondering if anyone could turn this into a flashable zip? I'm a huge fan of the stock One X boot animations. The down animation isn't really important but if you can get it to work i'll be very grateful. :good:
Here's some animations I found. Credit goes to the source.

I finally found this page. I stumbled on it a while back but lost it. Anyways, I had a question about setting this up on my one x international. I'm using venom 3.7.4 and wanted more clarification on if this is compatible? Now from reading the thread I'm seeing that I must find the original boot file. I wanted to know if it's labeled the same? basically just a swap?

This is evo 4g lte forum how do we know? Look for it with a root explorer. It's going to have at least boot animation in the name
Sent from magical jelly bean.
Just put bootanimation.zip in the appropriate folder (/system/media maybe? It moved at Android 4 I think). Depending on the resolution of the image (or the device it's coming from) it may not fit perfectly but it's easy to fix by cutting out the logo and pasting it into an appropriate sized black box.
EDIT: Follow Post #2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343377 using the bootanimation.zip you wanted.

I don't have the bootloader version of the diagnostics, but here's a thread with the HTC screen calibration app.

OK. Then I suggest you get on Google and do a lot of searching because I've never seen that posted in the Evo 3D forums.
You could also try to PM freeza or xhaus since they seem to know a lot about bootloaders and firmware.
If you are lucky enough to find it, please post here and let us know how got it.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find out about this file? I can't find it anywhere and the only references on Google are to files that are used to flash things like recovery the same way PG86IMG.zip files do.
More specifically, what makes you think that it's going to fix anything that might be wrong with your digitizer? I can't even find a description for HTC diagnostics that run from the bootloader.

I found in on polish electric forum http://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/viewtopic.php?p=10744755#10744755 -> There was a method for Wildfire S and Sensation
Based on the description of S58 (DIAG) files in this post, it seems that screen calibration is not their primary purpose.
Someone asked for the E3D version in that thread and it was never posted.

No, I am from Poland and know what they was writing about. Dude bought new digitizer for his Wildfire S, changed but it was doing sh.it and that method with diag file helped him with calibration.

Did you already replace your digitized? Because 3ds have notoriously bad digitizers.... Yours is probably going bad and needs replaced. If that's the case no calibration will help you.
Sent from my PG86100
But i used HTC screen calibration app and it is doing much worse now. That Diag file is my last chance, becouse I don't have money for new digitizer now, and for me problem is with bad calibration.
