List of Droid roms, themes and themed roms

[Brett]

for some reason, when i tried out CM .7, my market app went away so i wasn't able to download titanium backup to restore my apps or anything else. went back to the previous version, but i'm jonesin' to try out dom 3. darn you, brett, for talking it up so much!

haha what can i say, im good like that.

i know there are a bunch of people that are immediatly turned off by the superman and iron themed wallpaper so ill show you 2 screens with a wallpaper i found yesterday on droid forums. ill also link the wallpaper because i think it is F'n sick. its the dark side of droid haha

how do you wipe data and cache manually?

 

[Brett]

you need to do it in SPRecovery or Clockwork revovery. im not sure if you have ever manually installed a rom before but if not check out page 11 or 12, i think i wrote the instructions on how to install it. if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. oh and if make sure you understand how to do each step before you start the whole process. I can say this with first hand experience, nothing sucks more than being confused and not knowing what to do especially if nobody is around to answer you question to help you fix it. so like i said ask as many questions as necessary, but try to keep them in one post. we dont want to have 2 or 3 pages worth of question haha

how do you wipe data and cache manually?

If you have clockwork recovery boot into recovery and you will see the options to wipe data and cache. I think SPRecovery probably has that option also i haven't used it for awhile so i don't remember for sure. You'll probably want to wipe a few times to be safe. While you're there make a backup of your current rom before you wipe in case something goes wrong.

SPRecovery has the same basic setup as clockwork. i would also recomend watching the rom tutorial videos that are stickied to this sub forum. they are a little outdated but nothing drasting as far as wiping.

here are the instructions that i posted a few days ago

1) download Dominator on your computer (make sure you download the one that corresponds to the recovery you use whether it be SPRecovery or Clockwork), it will be a zip file.

2) unzip it and you should have a folder with the same name as the zip (inside the folder are the files). The folder itself is a nandroid back-up so take that folder and put it in your nandroid backup folder (if you are using SPRecovery the nandroid back up folder is on the root of your card. If you are using clockwork it is inside of the clockwork folder on the card, i think the folder is just called backup)

3) reboot into recovery and wipe both the data and the cache. ( i dont know if it makes a difference but because it was a completely different rom from what i was using, I wiped both of them 2 just in cast, probably not necessary though).

4) once it is wiped then you need to go to "Backup/Restore"

5) select advanced "advanced nandroid restore"

6) now pick the file the file that you downloaded (dominator)

7) once you selected the file it is going to come up with 4 or 5 things to select to restore. You only need to restore the "boot" and the "system".

8) once that is done reboot your phone. After you sign into your phone set everything up like setcpu, widgets shortcuts, etc... Also there is an app that comes stock with the rom, it is called "autokiller". It essentially helps manage your memory more efficiently. Open that and then once you allow it to have root access, press the menu button and then should be a few option that you can select. Select "presets" and then select "aggressive" and then ok.

9)this part is probably optional but i usually do it so it starts fresh. Shut your phone off and then turn it back on.


one thing you will notice is that when you turn your phone on, the boot up time is half of what it was. thats one thing i liked about it

10) the last step, and this is extremely important and crucial. ENJOY THE PHONE haha

when i try to "restore boot" and "restore system", i get a "MD5 mismatch" message. any thoughts?

You might try re-downloading the rom your download might have been corrupt, just guessing though.

Did you unzip the zip file.

 

[Brett]

ok so i updated the list a bit. i added chevy's simply stunning 3.2 rom and also updated to the newer cyanogen rom. plus, you guys might notice i alphabetized the roms/themes so it is easier to find what you're looking for

 

[stoneth99]

yeah, i unzipped it and added the folder (within the folder) that contains the .img's for boot, system, etc to the backup folder in the nandroid folder on the root of my sd card.

wow! that's a lot of folders!
