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!

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

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).

I didn't see anyone post this yet, so I thought I could help..
Here's a full 'stock' ROM containing FRG83G (2.2.2). I simply applied the latest OTA to my stock FRG83D and then did a backup of system.img/boot.img, and then created a ROM with my kitchen. You'll need to flash these with a custom recovery image.
USE THIS FIRST ONE ONLY FOR GINGERBREAD UPDATE! READ INFORMATION BELOW REGARDING HBOOT BEFORE YOU UPDATE TO GINGERBREAD!
Stock, unrooted, no modifications (comes with updater-script, compatible with Clockwork Recovery, system and boot untouched!):
http://www.mediafire.com/?kdjis8422y8k6nc
The following ones CANNOT be used for an OTA update:
Stock, with root (comes with updater-script, compatible with latest Clockwork Recovery, boot.img modified):
http://www.mediafire.com/?c7u8wxjg6zptqig
The following are modifications made to the stock ROM, with update-script:
Rooted, de-odexed, trackball wake: http://www.mediafire.com/?1ftaf6eg30ma81p
Rooted, de-odexed, trackball wake, busybox: http://www.mediafire.com/?90rcduzsbm5bz77
Rooted, de-odexed, trackball wake, busybox, Apps2SD, Cache2SD, zipaligned: http://www.multiupload.com/3VP7Z2YIBS
I'm not going to do any more mods to this, but if you wish to customize this ROM to your liking then use something like my HTC Android Kitchen. To set up, please read the FAQ posted in the kitchen thread.
-----
How to get your device ready for the latest OTA update (a.k.a. Gingerbread)
You'll need the following:
An untouched ROM - which contains odexed system image and an unmodified boot.img (see the unmodified 'Stock' ROM shown above, not the modified ones)!
Flash the latest HBOOT to prepare for Gingerbread update
A stock recovery image (however, if you use Clockwork or Amon_RA you need signature verification turned OFF when it reboots to recovery!)
The actual Gingerbread update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965478
I have attached below the stock recovery image that is used for FRG83G so that you can easily flash the next OTA update (Gingerbread). OTA updating will not work successfully if you did mods like de-odexing or altered/removed the system apps, or wrote to one of the files in the boot.img. Therefore, use only the UNMODIFIED, UNROOTED 'stock' ROM above to perform an OTA, in combination with an eligible recovery image. You can always revert to your desired custom recovery image easily, as long as you have root.
To flash the stock recovery from fastboot (reset N1 while holding down trackball):
1) Go to PC and open an ADB shell
2) Copy recovery.img to the same folder as your ADB session
3) type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or from a terminal app:
1) Copy flash_image (see attached) to /system/bin using Root Explorer or similar, and set permissions to allow execute
2) Copy recovery.img to your SD card
3) type: su
4) type: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Hung on Google X
Coming from Geo's completely stock deodexed FRG83D.
Installed the zip file you posted via Custom Recovery.
Upon reboot, my N1 got hung up on the 4-colored Google X.
Tried twice - no go; reinstalled Geo's FRG83D.
Was hoping to get rid of the annoying update reminder.
Guess I will just wait until Gingerbread is officially released.
I've always been stock ROM, but tempted to try CM7...
Thanks anyway.

Sorry about that, I just realized the boot.img was from a later backup of mine, which had some modifications. I have uploaded a fixed version. Please try again if you can.
That worked beautifully!
Thanks! The updated file worked beautifully!
One thing...I thought coming from a deodexed ROM that I would gain some memory back, but it doesn't seem that way - or maybe it was so little I didn't notice it.
Got rid of the annoying update reminder!
Thanks again - this should keep me happy until the Gingerbread ROM is officially out - of course, I will wait until rooted version is released...
Good to know
One disadvantage of the stock/odexed ROM is that themes cannot be applied, nor can you use the trackball wake. You could always de-odex the ROM yourself and flash it so that you can use the themes... and then flash back the stock version when you need to update again (provided that you also flash the stock recovery).
EDIT: I have upload a second version with de-odexing and trackball wake.
if you put busybox as well, then you are going to be our hero, Geo No2..

Did you wipe before flashing this ROM? could be that some files were left over from Geo's ROM...

Thanks for posting this dsixda. Highly appreciated!
Thanks for posting this. I've decided to go ahead and start making my own, strictly for personal use. I have one question, which could help me along the way.
I used the first ROM you posted here as a starting point, rooted only. How would I go about adding to it, such as the trackball wake? Is that possible with your Kitchen?

If you want to add trackball wake then you'll need to deodex with the kitchen first. The trackball wake file (android.policy.jar) can be found in this forum.
Have fun
Thanks. And yes, I've already deodexed, enabled most of the options through the Kitchen, and everything is running perfectly. Just looking to make a few more modifications now.

Thank you very much, mate. Pretty much appreciated.
Still there's a shadow of sorrow over me: if Gingerbread for our beloved N1 would be close to be deployed, this OTA would have never come out, I'm afraid... sigh!

I wanted to change the kernel from my P500 to solve the lag problem and get better overall performance.
I rooted the phone using gingerbreak 1.20
after that i installed from the market Rom manager restarted the phone, and i backup the phone from there.
After that I got stuck with my kernel replacement and I gave up and I wanted to reset the phone to default state. I didn't do anything to my phone.
I unrooted the phone and did the factory data reset.
Now when I reboot the phone and press power+volume down+home I still get the Clockworkmod Recovery boot menu. In an untouched P500 what do you get when pressing that combination? Is there any way to make my phone 100% factory state ?
sorry for my bad english
u should even delete the recovery.....(TO get rid of it)
the recovery is on the sd card, right? i formated the sd card... so there is nothing related to rom manager...
u must try flashing the default rom from the devlopment forum.(KDZ Updater)
blah
if i wait for gingerbread update will the update solve this?
The Recovery is not on the sdcard.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
and download the file "Original_Recovery_thunderg.zip" (or something to that effect) and flash it through cwm. This will restore the recovery as it was originally.
The zip is unsigned so you will have to toggle signature verification in cwm recovery.
@mihir he doen't want to get his recovery back(in other word he wants to remove it).
@soberspine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881 check dis thread and install the original rom...
@devil the original recovery zip in the link will restore the condition of the recovery to factory condition, i.e remove it.
this android reminds me of installing windows 95
the new unpdate to gingerbread will come out next month, so the update to 2.3 will get rid of that boot menu and other things that where changed when I installed Rom manager? in other words will the phone go to factory state before rooting/unrooting and stuff.
Yeah most probably the recovery will be cleared if and when you update to gb. But if you want to clear it now use the zip, it works.
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using XDA App
I don't think you'll be able to update to GB from a custom ROM or rooted phone. Even if the option comes up, it is recommended to go back to stock state (without recovery and root) or else it might cause problems.
i didn't installed any custom rom. the only thing I did was to root my phone using gingerbreak and then installed rom manager.
the only thing that changed to my phone is that now it has that boot menu clockworkmod.
now i unrooted my phone.
So it is not safe to make official update even if the only change is that i have on my phone clockworkmode?
Step by step picture guide to completely restore to open-box state using KDZ updater
did this for thousands of times and if you are doubted in any steps feel free to ask me
btw for your question, an un-touched optimus one pressing the recovery combination will result in
a stable image of an android jumped out of a white-rectangular box
a bar at the bottom loading
but that's it, nothing more no matter how long you wait
Also for your updating question:
LG WONT recognize your phone with their official updating tool only when you are ROOTED (so of course when you perform any other steps after rooting, it wont either... e.g. installing custom recovery, flash roms etc)
BUT if you go back to the original thing with KDZ, LG will update anything for you -tested by myself!
thank you for all the clarifications and the tutorial.
I will wait now for the new android 2.3 release and ill do the whole thing then.
It is possible after rooting and installing clockworkmod the phone to work slower?
It feels like the phone is responding slower or maybe is just me imagining things .
hehe. nothing like that.

hi guys
I recently bought a 2nd hand Vibrant for a really good price.
As far as i see the Vibrant is already rooted with 2.2.1 Lidroid, and CWM installed.
The battery usage is amazing with this rom, but I still fancy to install some custom GB roms.
I have some questions:
1. I would like to check if I am already on GB bootloader, please guide me to check?
2. If I am not on GB bootloader, I know I must first install it.
I wonder if Vibrant has some stock GB firmwares like captivate does? The stock camera is a must for my case ><
Am i correct if I follow this method from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156832
3.Or actually I can simply flash any custom GB roms directly from where I am (Lidorid 2)

Okay you know if you're not gb bootloaders when you turn on ur phone there's weird rainbow lines
If not then you are
And if you are then yea you can flash any rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Let me confirm if you suggesting me to flash the GB roms?
If there's rainbows > froyo bootloader
if nothing > GB bootloader
So can i say actually Gb roms doesnt really need GB bootloader
as long as I am fine with the rainbows?

I've run CM7, and CM9 (ICS) on Froyo boot loaders. For me it just makes the kernel screen flash and show again, then goes on to ROM booting. I'm running a Froyo boot loader right now.
Is lidroid a t959 rom or a t959v?
You need to have a t959 to be in the vibrant 3g section, otherwise you'll probably want the galaxy s 4g section.
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk 2
there is a Lidroid version for T959 - I have a Odin flash with it. I use it instead of JFD.
Want to know if you have the GB boot loaders? Easy -
Hold the Volume up button and the power button at the same time. If it goes to download mode....you got the GB bootloaders.
T959 Vibrant does not have Samsung 2.3 support. Samsung forgot about us after Froyo. There Froyo OTA upgrade bricked so many phones that they wont chance it again.
For 2.3 Gingerbread you will have to download a I9000 port found in our Development section. That said the ICS packages are very nice for Vibs too.
need help guys
A few hours ago, I was at work and bored.
I started to flash some GB roms without coming back to check this post.
The rom i used was phiremod-fusion-2.1.1.
As usual I nandroid my lidroid before doing anything.
Then I 3 wipes and flash the phiremod rom.
first time the flash was really quick and also rebooted itself.
But only this time I realise I have a newer CWM 5.xx version instead of my 2.xx version (Lidroid)
Ok, i wasn't panic, because i read some where before. It's prefectly fine for a cm7 if the first time it bootloop.
Then I pull battery, and boot into recovery again, to flash the 2nd time.
this time BAAM, prefect. I found myself with a 2.3.x cm7 mod rom.
but as soon as I found the camera apk is actually the MIUI one. I decided to nandroid back to Lidorid.
things turns ugly at this point, when i back to CWM i restored.
But only found some errors CWM said , but I remember CWM did say something like erasing boot.img before restoring.
After the resotre failed, I accidentally reboot my phone.
And now my vibrant only stuck at the typical black boot screen "Vibrant in the middle with samsung at the bottom.
I tried to boot back to recovery, but no luck.
right now I am telling myself i probably need to restore to stock.
Can my fellow xda members guide me the proper way to
1. boot CWM
2. download mode
Given the fact that I am not too sure about which bootloader I am on.
THX people!!
Yup, you'll need to go back to stock. There are plenty of write-ups on how to do it.
Also, NEVER restore a 2.2 backup after you install 2.3 or higher. The file systems and partitions are different. Odin back to stock, install lidroid again, and then try to restore your backup.

need help guys
A few hours ago, I was at work and bored.
I started to flash some GB roms without coming back to check this post.
The rom i used was phiremod-fusion-2.1.1.
As usual I nandroid my lidroid before doing anything.
Then I 3 wipes and flash the phiremod rom.
first time the flash was really quick and also rebooted itself.
But only this time I realise I have a newer CWM 5.xx version instead of my 2.xx version (Lidroid)

Get into download mode by while it's off, holding VOL-UP + Vol-DOWN and plugging in USB.

After this, I am thinking to ask my colleagueto make one JIG for me.
I'd like to confirm it's same as SGS, i.e. 3 X 10kohm in series
Hello, at the start i wanted to install some new ICS rom for my Vibrant..i try to root it with one click and i couldn't do that coz i had froyo(2.2update)..so i read some forums and found solution in odin...i used that to turn back to stock eclair where i rooted the phone ...but the problem is that now i can't install any application on the device(i need ROM manager)..i get to android market and ,click on application but nothing is happening, no download at all...than i try to use android injection with apks that i found on the net , but nothing, i always get INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK...so now i am stuck i have: fimware version-2.1 update 1,baseband T959UVJFD, kernel 2.6.29 can you tall me should i do?? thx
Read the guide in my signature on how to install ICS ROMs. It has an update.zip that you can use for CWR.
ROM manager no longer supports 2.1 (Eclair), so that is why you can't see it in the market.
Download the clockwork mod recovery file (update.zip) and save it to the internal storage on the phone. Then reboot into recovery and install packages. Might have to do it twice. Then you'll be in CWM recovery. Install from from there.

FWIW, and this is not a knock on Team Passion (they do excellent work but few updates), but Euphoria is somewhat outdated. There are plenty of ICS ROMs out there that are more up-to-date and when ICS went from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 there were significant code changes that were done. I suggest ICZen, or Slim or CM9.
But if you want to stay on Euphoria (AOKP based), this is from my guide:
If you get the RANDOM OFFSET error.
Don't freak out. This is an ICS security feature (as posted in Passion's FAQ post). All you have to do is pull your battery and boot back into recovery and reflash ICS over itself (just like you did with the initial CM7 bootloop) and it should push through. You may need to do this multiple times. I have read of people having to do it up to 5x. YMMV though.

I suggest you Odin immediately. I fear that the next screen you will see is the Encryption Unsuccessful screen. Make sure you hit repartition in Odin though since you reformatted your system from RFS/Ext4 to MTD when you went to CM7.
odin
ok i get into odin , marked repartiton but is sais fail ??? what should i do now?

If you do get past all of these, but this is unlikely for a normal flash, get either Iczen or chimera.

Yes you need to flash Stock ICS custom rom (via CWM recovery) or firmware (via Odin) before flashing any JB rom.
Yes you can flash any ICS firmware (but flash 4.0.3, for safety), or just flash any Stock based Custom ROM.

after that you can flash rooted stock kernel to be able to flash custom rom see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693

ok so when i first flash the ICS firmware it is going to erase pretty much everything on the sdcard. so after the firm ICS firmware flash, i root the device then install the CWM-recovery, and then reflash the new AOKP-JB. i suppose when i do that i have to redo a CWM after ??
also even though i have backed up all the data, i keep reading not to restore data back onto the device after flashing a firmware/ROM. and to install all apps manually, is that true? or is there a better way to get all the apps onto the phone after i am done with installing AOKP?

1. No. Everything stored on your internal sdcard will be intact. Only your contacts, messages, applications and settings will be deleted. So you have to back them up
2. Probably yes.
What level are you now? Have you flashed the ICS firmware?
3. Never restore system apps and data. You can restore user apps but it's better you don't restore their data is possible.
How did you backup your data?

Base Firmware: I9100XXLPQ (4.0.3)
Region Poland (XEO)
Build Date: 9th March 2012
Modem: XXLPQ
CSC: OXALPQ
Change List: 223505
3. I have backed up all the data, i used CWM to back up as well as tried using nandroid from the terminal emulator, but i havent found the file as i gave it a custome name as follows:
nandroid 10_7_12_nandroid_backup
so i was looking for a file "10_7_12_nandroid_backup.md5" i supose i am looking for a wrong file?!!
i looked into the back up folder for CWM in sdcard but only could find the folder with that date and time and a file nandroid.md5 and 4 other .img files inside, is this correct?
or is there a better way to back up ?
newbie question: how do i thank members, for answering the questions?

1. Good. What's delaying you? if you have any question regarding flashing, you can ask now
2. that's normal
3. There is a Thanks button with thumbs up sign, under the person's username and details, to the farthest left on the same row as the Reply and quote buttons.

one more thing before i take the leap, any precautions with Odin version and CWM version. i was over the AOKP forums reading about people having issues with certain version not working very well. especially getting suck in Odin for a very long time. my USB storage on the phone says 11.5GB, and have seen users have issues when Odin runs and have their memory repartitioned or something like that. any words of wisdom will definitely boost my confidence

Everything should go on fine.
You can follow the flashing guide here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also, don't repartition your phone. There's no need to do that.
1. Flash official ICS through Odin or Kies (for upgrading bootloader to ICS)
2. Root ICS stock ROM (boot to recovery, use fake recovery zip+through it flash siyahkernel, easiest because auto-root and no yellow triangle)
3. After getting Siyah, should reboot to recovery via CWM manager, wipe data/cache and format system then install AOKP JB-b4 and gapps.

FINALLY!!! i got time to upgrade the phone to JB milestone1, it was a breeze and quiet simple. the phone has been running great love the interface through Nova launch. Kudos to AOKP team and all you guys for helping me out....
I find it strange that after i wiped the whole data/system, Devlik etc .. and installing AOKP, i still see most of the applications i installed on the phone, none of them were wiped. only apps that i downloaded through amazon apps are no longer there. is this ok?
Also i have few issues and need help with it.
1. I accidentally deleted the apps icon in the dock and not i am not sure how to get to them. can any one tell me how to bring back the Icon?
SOLVED -- long press on home screen and nova launch pops up ...
2. I am looking for a keypad icon or phone icon to bring up the dialer, in GB i could get there through contacts and scrolling to get to keypad.
SOLVED .. i am not sure how to bring that up here once i could go to apps i and drag the dial icon onto the dock
3. I want to create a shortcut to a folder on the SD card on the desktop, as i keep accessing few files in that folder can you tell me how to do this?
SOLVED .. long press on any folder on Root explorer and it gives an option to place a short cut for that folder
6. Also I tried installing Swype keyboard beta, has anyone tried installing it on SG2i9100 running AOKP milesone1? i cant get it to finish installing.
SOLVED .. works now .. sweeet
4. i would like to rearrange the app icons in the apps page (after clicking apps icon). a long press on any icon takes me to desktop, i cant menu click and do edit as like in GB to move icons around, any way to do this?
5. i tried changing the colors of the wireless signal and battery icons in the AOKP system menu, and they dont change colors. the icon can change into text etc ... but not colors, its the same with colors in notification bar, what do i do to make this work?
