Hey,just asking if I can flash any theme(built for my phone) on any custom ROM I have or every theme is built for a specific ROM ?
Yes But No
Many themes go on many roms but they all have instructions like for zzz rom only that gives a clue .

Hello guys, just randomly seen this term in a thread which I have never had any experience with it before. So can anyone tell me what is mods and how can I tell if it's installed on a custom ROM ?
Thanks
mod. As in modification. You install .zip's etc. Or a modded application. Custom roms are mods of AOSP or stock samsung rom.
Mods as in guys that wield big hammer to bad posters ???
Soon to be built in to all custom roms and browsers .
Modification to change something .

Hello everyone
I really want to install this theme Im running the latest ICS STUCK ROM XXLPQ (4.0.3)
Does it work on this rom ?
I need to root my SGS2 for it ?
thanks in advance
HI
from your post my advice will be not to flash this theme!!!!!!!!
what is stuck rom? never heard of it. is it here on xda? please post a link to it.
Stock rom, no you need a deodexed stock rom. Use the Wanam lite stock deodexed.
Also this should be in Q&A section.
first of all thanks for the fast reply
I have downloaded the Stock rom from Samfirmware.com
here is the download link : http://hotfile.com/dl/149515233/24a7b72/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_XEH.zip.html
I really hate how TouchWiz destroy the ICS on the SGSII because of that I want to install the ICS DOMINATION THEME and here is the post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334922
now for the questions :
Do I need to root my Device first ?
Does it work at my Rom ? (XXPLQ 4.0.3 Stock)
No it will not work!
Like the guy in the post above you said, if you bothered to read, is that you need a deodexed rom.
Go to the Android development section (not original) and look for Wanam's deodexed stock ROMs. They must be deodexed! This is important.
Sent from my GT-I9100
but after I installing the wanam rom I will not need to be rooted ?
and simply flash the Theme in the recovery after it ?
Is it possible to add features to a stock rom rather than changing to a new rom (which always seem buggy) eg.
The camera hack improve video ( in omega rom)
And is it possible to add themes, icon pictures etc without using a launcher or changing rom?

Yes if its a custom stock rom just open with win rar or similar then delete /add
Other wise root and es file explorer delete /and add.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So it can only be done with a custom rom then.
Are there any custom stock rom that are not buggy. I seem to always read about people having problems with even custom stock roms. Not being able to restore apps with titanium. Back up etc
No he means that with a custom rom you can (but are not limited to) add/edit the files in the archive before flashing it.
This would/should work for Odin Flashes of stock Rom's too.
However, as described you don't need this procedure on stock, you can add/edit the installed apps through a tool such as Root Explorer.
Note that most features of a given Samsung-based custom Rom are not developed by the Rom-Developers but by a 3. party which often provides CWM-flashable versions of their modifications.
Most people that have issues with custom roms attempt e.g. to transfer system apps including the data which often fails.
What if it says you have to be deodexed.? Are there any guides?
Plenty of guides you need to use Google search and read up on customizing Android .
Some in Android forum XDA and SGS2 forum XDA .
Custom rom is just easy .Stock rom far more involved and better to use one of the deodexed stock roms posted that are not customized further .
Yes custom roms especially on month 1 build can be buggy but usually settle down by build 30 .

Hi i have just bought a galaxy s3 and i would like to put it a custom rom but i like the original samsung theme. I have seen a lot of customs rom on the forum but i feel kind of lost and i dont know which one should i choose, any reccomendation, suggestion or something else?

It's funny, because everyone wants to change the stock theme to AOSP.
To keep the original theme, flash one of the Samsung based ROMS (Android development subforum), they'll have the version letters in the title (the current version is LL5)
Many roms have a stock theme .
Read the roms description first .

A clue a rom beginning with o has a stock theme and so do many others .

When you are presented with two choices...
1) Flash A Custom Rom without a Custom Kernel
2) Flash a Custom Kernel without a Custom Rom
I would choose option 2
