[Theme] 928Droid Black Glass X for DROID 2 !!!

[928Droid]

I JUST rooted my D2, so do I need to install a custom rom? Or can i just apply the theme?

What all am i going to have to do to get this up and running? If this question has already been answered i apologize for the double post.

Also, what apps to buy? Ofc Bootstrapper for D2, but anything else?

My Themes are designed to work with Stock ROMs ONLY!. If you load a Custom ROM I recommend that you do not try and use my Theme. I will be creating themes for the most popular D2 Custom ROMs as time permits.

My must have Recommended apps for any Rooter:

Droid X (and 2) Recovery Bootstrap - (DX/D2 Only)
Root Explorer (File Manager) - Paid app
Titanium Backup * root - Get Paid version for best options
Android Terminal Emulator - Free
Busybox

Optional:
Rom Manager - Free version is fine for most stuff, but Premium is better
MetaMorph - Free version OK, Pro Version is better

Optional NON-Market PC based Applications for working with files/apks on the Droid with your PC:

Android Commander - doesn't get any easier for pushing/pulling apks from PC to Phone and back. www.androidcommander.com Free but always consider donatation. This is an amazing Windows based GUI "ADB/File Manager" for Droids.

7zip - never use the standard Windows Zip extrator, get 7zip, free app - www.7-zip.org

Unfortunately, Android Commander developer says:

"* with Milestone and Droid X/2 not working as ROOT (say thx to Motorola)"

So..."Limited functionality, no apps manager and few more things." from what I've heard so far. Still going to check it out, looks pretty cool .

BULL Hockey..... I use it on my DX ALL day long...have been since day 1. Should work the same on the D2...

Yup - installed and seems to work fine....

Okay, so I downloaded everything that you said too.

Now how do I get this theme working on my phone?

It's a fresh root, nothing has been done but installing the apps listed.

You do a little reading in this thread...all you need to know is included here.

Reading the content in this thread will give you context/background that will be good for you to know in general...first decision you have to make is whether you want to install the odex or deodex version of this theme, and you should be aware of what those decisions entail.

At that point you'll be able to ask much better questions and likely be most successul....

The files are .odex in the system/app folder.

The files are .odex in the system/app folder.

Then if you're OK w/some of the limitations of the Odex version of the theme, you just download it, put on your SD card, launch CLockwork recovery, make a backup of your current setup, and then install the theme by using the install from from SD card option.

Clockwork Recovery can be installed and launched from Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery app in the market...($2).

What exactly are the limitations? If their not noticeable then I wouldn't really care..

 

[Redflea]

The limitations are described in the thread...I'm sorry, but I don't have time to go back and re-read it for you and then describe it again here.

Need someone to test this new Version for me please. This is DeOdexed ONLY!!

Also if you could check the used and free space of the system folder before and after installation I would apprciate it, screen caps of before and after would be even better. You can use Root Explorer for this.. just go to the system folder and this info is at the top.

This is a fully optimized and Zip-Aligned Version and sometimes this can cause glitches so please check everything out as much as possible. BUT, if it works OK it will save around 10mbs in the system area and make for an even faster Droid 2

This also has the latest Froyo 2.3.15 apps etc and also has the lastest Gmail, Maps, Google Quick Search, and Google Voice Search apps and other tweeks.

Thanks,

Link removed...newer version in the works

BTW, here is a screen cap of what I need on the system area info if possible...

So far, so good. I will let you know if anything looks off.

Are you KIDDING ME!!! Almost 15mb saved in the system area.... SWEET!!!!!! That was worth the literally 80 hours PLUS I put into it just to acomplish that!!

Thanks!!!

Thrash it hard for me !!!
