hello all.. i have been having problems installing themes on my rooted s3 international version. im currently using omega v42 rom with siyah kernel.
my problem is i cant seem to install a theme (i was trying to install numerous themes already) and i wanted to install this theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844756 motomoto theme. im using twrp to flash the theme and other themes. not single one of them ever had success. yes they succeed in installing the theme but the theme itself is not applied (nothing changed) i dont know what i need to do to install themes and i was scouring the web since yesterday about this with no luck at all. please can anybody help with my problem i really want to install the cool looking theme by motomoto.. please help... :crying:
edit: i think this should be moved on Q&A sorry..
from the first post in the thread you linked:
Installation
1 Backup Rom
2 Reboot in to Recovery
3 Select Install zip from internal memory
4 Select theme, and press install
5 Reboot
Install only with ClockworkMod recovery 6.0.1.2+
or with new siyah recovery duall boot
(The install may take 3 minutes)

read the bit in red which you should have already done - this is expected of you before creating threads, especially in the wrong section
i think you should go back to reading before trying to flash anything

Hello
After I rooted my phone, I freezed a couple of programs, and got carried away. Now twlauncher is not working. I've tried factory reset. But that didn't work. Now I am stuck at a screen telling me twlauncher stopped working.
I cannot do anything. I am using the danish version of ICS. There are to many threads on how to flash ICS. I have no idea which one to trust, that works. So I would really appriciate it, if somebody could help me. I am kinda scared/freaking out.
Thanks.
Hey. Do not worry. Have you got CWM Recovery installed in your ROM? Go into recovery mode and clear both Cache Partition and Then go into Advanced and clear Dalvik Cache. If that does not work i recommend you flash the most stable rom which is Litening ROM. I am using it for nearly a year and it is the most trustable rom.. Also installation guide os very well provided on Litening ROM thread.

Come on, do the work yourself. 290 posts and you can't be bothered searching?! Use the FAQs and stickies, that's why they're there.
You've given no info as to how you managed to bork TW launcher either. "Got carried away"... "freeze a couple of programs"... Very helpful.
For future reference - always handy to have another launcher installed for emergencies.

But I have a hard time, finding the danish version of ICS..
But do you think cleaning cache and dalvik will help, as post 2 said ?
I just tried cleaning dalvik and cache partition, It didn't work.

Don't know if there's a specific Danish version - not even sure if there is an official ICS in Scandinavia yet, never use Kies (I'm in Norway). Scandinavian firmwares have NEE as a CSC code.
Try Check Fus to find the most recent dansk firmware, then samfirmware.com for downloads.
Lykke til.

Here you go.
Edit - or did you mean the firmware file to be installed with Odin, not actually Odin itself?
If I were you, I'd worry about ICS later, and get stock GB flashed first - at least you'll have a working phone. Follow the guides jjegan linked you to.

Yes, I wanted the Odin file itself
I get what you mean buy doing the flashing GB. To be honest, I want it to be fixed as fast as possible, and with ICS.
I am gonna flash It now, and hope for the best. Again thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it
No problem, let us know how it went.

I have one rom manager PRO and i tried to check if avaiable new update but still not yet but im afraid that rom manager wont work or maybe coming too much delay?
Someone could please explain me about it?

in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).

You need to read around a LOT more.
First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.
Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.
EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?
Oh there it is.

hmmm so i have to flash cm9 but is stable ? Too bad that im not good experience how to flash (cause i didnt even tried first time...i got cyanogen from china already installed).
I dont wanna finish brick or tilt telephone lol maybe i have to give support if someone know how to work this update.....is true talking about Mod is not automatic update need always do something manual...like odin ( i dont know either how to use odin anyway but i heard most ppl use it)

You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.
As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.

@matt,
I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.
@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.

For cm7 it was okay for downloading but not flashing as i understood it but cm9 can make full use of it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

If you already have a kernel with ClockworkMod, you don't need to worry about flashing one before flashing CM9.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Nandroid backup.
2. Download latest CM9 and GAPPS
3. Do a full wipe in ClockworkMod
4. Flash CM9 in ClockworkMod
5. Flash GAPPS in ClockworkMod

you know what ROM manager is?
ITS A GUI INTERFACE FOR CWM
you can boot into CWM directly and do anything that ROM manager can do except download the rom....

Hi
I was following instructions to flash the Criskelo v7 rom on my Galaxy Note N7000
First time with Android rooting ...... it told me to flash Abyss Kernel and after this do a wipe . Abyss did not load right and i did wipe
OK .... this is my first android and first time on rooting.............. i made a mess i guess
Now the phone does not go back to CWM recovery and can only go into download mode . I have downloaded ODIN 1.85
Also before doing all this i have created a Nandroid back up with the help of CWM
is there some way to recover my phone ?
Thanx

Yeah everything ok but why to flash CWM recovery?
How do I check I have proper working CWM as mentioned?
Because you need cwm to install a zip file to your phone.
If you have siyah running on your device, you have cwm recovery. Use that.

No. Like the link says, its a rom for the i9100G. Yours is the international version. You need to use a ROM that's built for your variant else you brick your phone. Use the search button and read ROM descriptions and instructions before installing.

I am new as i said before in all android world "coming from iphone jb and mess"
i got Galaxy s2 i9100G OS ics 4.0.3
i wanted to put jb rom on it Revolt one or whatever is good and stable now
so here what i know so far and should do
1st i learnt i must Root my device so i can add any rom
and to do that i must Download Odin then put my device in download mode and flash clockwork v 6.0.2.1 or something
then reboot my device
and put it on clock work mode then flash rom i want
is what i said correct ? or am i missing on anything and is just flashing clock work v 6 is equal to meaning of rooting my device ?

I guess post 1 of Revolt ROM DOES link to this guide to root an I9100G, which DOES mention ClockworkMod. However, this also contains very clear and concise instructions.

that's whats said .. and what confusing me is not all steps is 1st one which is rooting .
in some videos it doesnt in clude to talk about root.zip
and other guides doesnt say anything about it , is that normal ?
you can alway watch a youtube rooting ics vid while keeping xda on another tab.
sometimes it is better to graphic something that you read.

There are literally dozens of ways to root your device. It's pretty simple, dude. Follow one set of directions. Don't worry about other directions that are not the same. Hell, the guide linked in the first post of Revolt ROM has three options just in that one post.
I think you're getting confused because nothing explains where the root access is gained.
It is contained within the custom kernel which also gives you clockworkmod. Cwm is a custom recovery that has many more features than stock.
