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

Yes, HomeSyncWizard... darn shame to disable that, it is a cool app... do you know you can use WiFi to transfer stuff between 2 Droid Xs or Droid 2s or a mixture of the 2, or via your home/office network ....not to mention all the MultiMedia stuff....Poor little app ain't hurting nothing, just turn the notifications off instead :-)
I thought this was possible... How? only thing iv'e seen are option to share from my droid to other devices, what i wanna do is share the other direction, i have droid x, wife and son both have D1... are saying i should be able to "send" files (pics,vids,.apk) to their phone from mine and get files from my PC (win7 x64 ultimate)? if you know of a good tut on how to accomplish this, i'm all eyes...
 
Thanks Dave. My only problem is I cannot get the sbf to work for me. I have tried several different sbf, 3 or 4 different setups of RSD Lite, several different .ini files replacements, etc. Every Droid X (3) I have had always fails on RSD, saying that it isn't a multi-user.... I guess RSD doesn't like Win7... anyway, since this is my problem, I guess I'll wait for the official update.
 
Darn shame you are gonna miss the secret surprises I put updates sometimes.. :icon_eek:... You guys should poke around more in these updates....I have a sense of humor and do some funny stuff on occasion.

Climbing on soapbox......It is funny how people with Droid Xs and Droid 2s are so intent on removing all these type apps....it's not like you have Droid 1 with only 256mb of internal storage.....ya got 8GB!!!!! Removing all the "bloatware" is a waste of time....other than getting the Icons out of the App drawer it accomplishes very little..maybe some memory usage, but a task killer can fix just those apps (don't recommend it for more than that). Instead of uninstalling them use Root Explorer and just rename them to ".bac" or ".apk1"...that way if you ever need them for whatever reason or when you get an update they are easy to restore....jumping off soapbox and putting on Nomex Suit..FIRE away :-)

Anywho....gonna do the Odex version anyway in a few hours because I am pretty sure it is broken in it too...plus I can get the Odex version up to "r2b" specs :-)

Now i'm gonna have to put it on just to see what the those surprises might be :)

Only reason I don't like updating is because I've modified a bunch of apks as well as use apks from other themes and those get overwritten by yours when I apply a new zip.

I also remove a bunch of apps because I don't like seeing them in my app drawer and it helps a lot with reboot times which i've been doing alot of lately. I'm gonna look into Media share again tho since I can't seem to get astro smb to work.

I should probably look into modifying update.zip, can't be harder than editing *.9.png :icon_eek:

You gotta be logged in as an Administrator on the PC you are using.

Droids 1 is too old school to talk to the Droid X in that way.....Ha, Ha...I can say that because I have one of those too ~~~~ You gotta have a DX and D2 or a mixture.

You should be able to transfer stuff via BlueTooth with your D1, I used to do it with my D1 and my wife's ole Eris.

For Dorid X PC stuff, you need a basic understanding of your wireless and Home network setup to get it to talk with your PC.... I know if I can get mine to talk with my Corporate Windows Server Network thru all of the security you can get it to talk with a Home Network easily....well I guess it is cheating that I set up my Corp Network and know it very well :-)

I haven't looked for an easy how to on DF, but I bet if you searched here you will find a Thread about this somewhere.

7zip, open Theme zip file as archive, delete the apks you don't want...close archive... copy to phone, apply Theme zip file.

...and NO, not near as hard as 9 patch files. :)
 
Should I just wait on a more substantial update as I don't even use MediaShare?

  • 09/08/10 - NEW! 928Droid Black Glass X for 2.2 DeOdexed Froyo Revision "r2b" released
    • Includes HotFix for MediaShare plus "r2a" Enhancements
 
deodexed r2b release?

Hey man,

I was really excited to download the new r2b release but after I downloaded the file from the deodexed 2.2 r2b theme zip. I went into my recovery like always to flash the file thru recovery as I watched the theme zip extract the r2b release it extracted deodexed r2a. My question is was this the correct zip file should it show r2a and not r2b once extracted in recovery. The system info on the build number also shows black glass x r2a. Thanks again for creating the best theme for the droid x for the community you work and attention to detail is much appreciated. :)

You are good to go... that was just me being in too much of a hurry and not editing the update zip script file, sorry for the confusion.

Its all good man, I just thought I should point it out just incase it was supose to show r2a:) Just curious is it better when updating to a theme release or to go back to a nandroid back up w/out any theme?

Thanks,
 
Droid 928,

I just downloaded from the server site r2b Deodexed release again after you said the script was fixed and just went into recovery to flash and it still extracts r2a black glass x not r2b black glass. correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that you had mentioned the script files were incorrect and you had to change them to r2b. Sorry for all the hassle.

Thanks,

I never said I fixed them, or was even going to on this release...

You are extracting r2b, beause that is what is inside that file...the file name trumps all other markers with my Themes.

If it bothers you, use a text editior open up the build.prop file in your system folder, scroll down 3-4 lines and change the r2a to a r2b , close/save the file and reboot...

You can also uze 7zip open the Theme Zip, navigate to the updater_script file, open it with PSpad and change the "a" to a "b" in it also, save it close the archive... and then reflash the update again and watch the "r2b" scroll by as it updates the VERY SAME FILES....if that is what will make you happy. :)
