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

[lortay78]

OK ...FINALLY got my x today...just got done installing root, and wifi..im gonna tackle this now.

can anyone point me out any issues i might face?? (i know, i know..read the thread...but its 33 pages long ! haha)

I tried this right after I first rooted my droid x. I followed the directions put in 928's original post. Everything worked very well, (I used metamorph which I don't think he is using anymore.) When I tried to go "back to stock," though, I never really went "back to stock" there were left over changes in my apps. I was really worried about this, and couldn't find a fix. Luckily, I was able to upgrade to froyo anyway.

I would give you advice, but I am by far not the best person for that on this forum. I will say, however, to take your time, read all the way through the instructions you get before you start tapping. This forum is great, but the stress of a broken phone is something to avoid. Good luck!

WHAT INSTRUCTIONS!!!!

i get no instructions...where are there instructions??? all i get from metamorph is an error that thew control file is missing...

 

[lortay78]

I don't think he uses metamorph at all anymore. It might help you to try reading through the whole thread. That is what I usually do. I don't mind helping you, but there are way smarter people than me.
For zip files, place it on the root of your SD Card, rename it to UPDATE.ZIP, boot into recovery via bootstrap, select "install UPDATE.ZIP"

wish i would of known that before i started jacking around with meta morph...

i dont know how to use the recovery or anything. i guess i will have to learn that now.


so what am i supposed to do with this other file that is listed....? the launcher patch i think it is

This should cover anyone who wants to avoid searching for the imperceptible directions.



-Connect to a pc and select "usb mass storage", a little icon will be in your notification bar.

-Put the 928Droid-928DroidBGX-DroidX-20100823-2985 zip on your sd card

- Make a folder and name it something (I named mine theme) and drop the 928 file into it.

- Open bootstrapper (http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html) navigate here with your phone and click the link he posted for the free version or search it in the market to support the BA

- Hit the bootstrap recovery button

- Hit reboot recovery button

- When in recovery (navigate with volume up/down and select with camera) run a backup if you haven't (Do it again)

-Select install “zip from sdcard”

-“Choose zip from sdcard”

-A list of folders will appear on your screen. Navigate to the one you copied the 928 file (theme for me) and select, then find the file labeled 928droidblackglassx-droidx-updatezip.zip and select it

-Hit the yes, install

Watch the magic happen

When it’s finished it will take you back to the recovery screen. Just select reboot system now and enjoy the aesthetics.


I think that is all you need. Worked for me multiple times now. If you use ADW, after doing the initial update do the same thing, but find the ADW patch folder instead to update the ADW theme. If you want to return to stock, same procedure, but select the back-to-stock zip.

I’m not responsible if your phone becomes inoperable yadayada

Thanks a ton!!!!!

ok after playing with it a while ive got a couple issues...

1) the battery on the notification panel (the number over the batter) and the battery widget i have, dont match up. the widget is 10 higher..also, niether are refreshing. turning the phone off and back on after use and the battery dropped 20%...dont know how to fix this

2) the LAB didnt have anything in it..i stuck the dialer on it, just didnt know if it was "supposed" to be like that. but since the dialer was no where else, thats where i put it.

3) Can someone tell me what app to use to get the easy on/off bar for wifi bluetooth etc.. also, once this theme is installed, will that bar be able to turn the hotspot on? it wouldnt before, just kept telling me to contact verizon.

Thanks alot! i love this theme

i had to change the ammount of columns/rows... now the dorid does quick search bar is to short and just says "does"

is there any way i can change the number of colums it uses so it displays the entire thing? i need it to be 4 columns instead of 2.

RnD Solo,

ALl of you questions are relted to the use and options of ADW Launcher, this is a Market app and is discussed heavily in the Applications area. If you go there you will find tons of info avout hoe to use it and what the various settings do.

The one question that is not ADW related is the ""Easy/ON Off bar" that is the Power Control widet and is standand to all Android OS. Look in your widgets... MotoBlur has similar single versions called Toggle widgets, again look in your Widgets.

If you are unsure how to use or find widgets visit the Droid FAQ area here on DF, all the basic type stuff is there....OR, click the Help Center app in your app drawer and spend a few minutes to get to know your phone better.

Remove and re-add the QSB Widget...AND use the defaults for sizing when given the option.

Concerning the Bloat, I would leave it ALL there. The X has TONS of system storage and removing those apps will just cause headaches when you get OTA updates from Moto.

Awesome news! I like this theme enough that I was actually contemplating switching back to 2.1 so I could have the theme back lol.
