List of Droid roms, themes and themed roms

[thebizz]

No his first kernel was.1.5 crazy huh wish I could boot that bad boy

 

[Brett]

hey bizz, did you update the framework that Boost released today? I'm prob going to do it in a few but just was curious as to what the update included because i didn't see anything anywhere saying what was worked on. just that he had an update available

 

[thebizz]

I tried twice. couldn't boot my phone afterwards I may load the full version and try that

 

[Brett]

Did you try it with adb or root explorer

 

[thebizz]

Adb kinda sucks for me
edit
like an idiot that i am i didnt read and you have to unzip the file then inside you will see the apk delete the superman portion and push that should work for you

 

[Brett]

He said you place the unzipped file in the system/framework from root explorer and it will replace it. Do you what the updated framework is supposed to fix?

 

[thebizz]

it changes the icon and colors on the pulldown kinda nice try it. instead of the unused area on the notification bar being blue when you pull it down its yellow to better match superman colors. plus 3g and wifi icons have changed colors. but with the rom what you see is what your going to get as far as the rom the themes will be updated and changed

 

[Brett]

So I tried replacing the framework apk and it didn't work. I downloaded the file, unzipped it, renamed it, placed it on my sd card, opened root explorer and copy and pasted it into system/framework. After I replaced it my phone rebooted but my screen went black. Not even the Motorola screen came up. Idk why this happened but it just didn't work. Good thing I made a backup prior to doing this.

 

[thebizz]

You have to push it with Adb. Second option is metamoroh of you have old themes on your card replace the framework with this one and only load the framework with metamorph that how I did it. Just make sure you delete everything in the framework folder other than what you want to load

 

[Brett]

Ill give it a try tonight.

Today was the true test of Jake's kernels stability. Normally if I'm listening to my droid to play mp3 in my car ride home from work (25 min drive) my droids CPU temps would be at high 30's low 40's set at 250-550. Today it was at like 28-30 C at 550-850

 

[thebizz]

That's great mine were a little higher but I was at 1.2

 

[Brett]

That's great mine were a little higher but I was at 1.2

what were the temps? and how long were you using it for? im tempted to try the 1.4 kernel he has just to see if there is a noticable difference or not. part of me is like F-it just go for it, then my rational side kicks in and says "are you retarded. you are taking a processor that has a max availability of 600 mghz standtard and you want to set it to 1400." haha what a dilema. i might just get the 1.2 kernel and set it ath 250-1200 and see what happens. worst case i can lower the max setting.

Second option is metamoroh of you have old themes on your card replace the framework with this one and only load the framework with metamorph that how I did it. Just make sure you delete everything in the framework folder other than what you want to load

let me just make sure i understand this. ok so go to the themes folder on the SD card and delete all of the files that are framework files. take the framework apk that he posted yesterday in droid forums (i haven't checked merely-droid since last night so i don't know if he added it their yet) and put it in the framework folder that is in the themes folder. then use metamorph to theme it correctly.

if that is what i have to do then i think im good because i actually know how to do all of that. just want to make sure thats what your directions say to do.




on a side note, is it me or is merely-droid turning into a ghost town. it seems like all of the major devs are more active at other forums.

 

[thebizz]

Yes merely Droid is turning into a ghost town. As far as the framework that should work. If you get a black screen after doing it just restore your system in recovery. And my temps while navigation going in direct sunlight were 37-42 left it at 1.2 when at 800 it was around the same as yours

 

[Brett]

Those temps are really good for 1.2. I used to get that when I was using bekits kernal and I had it set at 250-550. The kernel devs need to step up their game if they don't want to be over shadowed by Jake. Koush should really add them to rom manager.

 

[Brett]

Ok so I placed the framework apk in the android themes folder but when I go to that folder in metamorph it is not visible. Should I have put in the zip file instead of the unzipped one?

 

[thebizz]

Put the framework in one of your old themes just delete everything in the framework folder from the old theme before placing the new one their. Open metamorph and select existing theme, then choose the theme xml you will see it, once that's done apply only the framework by clicking on it and hitting apply. If you get the black screen with buttons lit up restore system in recovery and you would have to push it manually

 

[Brett]

Idk. I tried what you said like 5 times but it wouldn't install. Hopefully boost will just release an update that is easier to install.

 

[thebizz]

He probably will I'm using the finished framework much nicer

 

[thebizz]

boostd is going to make a bash file to install the theme. you will need adb to use it. just head over and download the sdk i will walk you thought the setup.
btw this was sent from the 2.2 emulator

Ok thanks. I definitely appreciate it. When is he releasing it, today or no specific date yet? Ill set up adb tonight I have all of the files already and I know how to get it set it up. From that point on Im lost. More or less I just don't know what codes to type and the order in which I type them.

Something that has questioned me lately, what is the difference between an adb wipe and a recovery wipe. I always thought they sweetheart same since the recovery wipe says factory reset but I keep seeing devs specifically state to adb wipe.
