Guest Rem1x Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) very broken right now, fix might be coming soon, if I can find time. if any one has the de-odexed files, could they contact me? Theming your Pulse v0.36 If you liked this feel free to say thanks or drop round at my deviantArt(http://www.godlikemcx.deviantart.com/) and leave me a comment :) Requirements: MCR 1.7 Vanilla (this has only be tested on that, but other version may work), ADB, ADB Drivers Preparing your phone Step 1 Make a Nandroid backup, better safe then sorry! Step 2. Download and install metamorph from the market. Step 3. Choose a metamorph theme, for the purpose of this tutorial, choose this http://ultraespresso.googlecode.com/files/...presso-v0.1.zip note: Many themes don't work, so just try, try and try again. This one does work, luckily ;) Step 4. Now you have the theme, create a new folder in the folder androidthemes on your SD card, and unzip the contents to the new folder. De-Odexing. Linux user? Try this http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&...t&p=1229810 Step 1 Download this http://www.asificanrememberthat.com/de-ode...R-1.7-u8220.rar (you can thank klutsh on the Modaco forums for this) Step 2 Unzip the folder in to the same folder as ADB Step 3 Put your phone in recovery mode (hold the menu key and the red button when starting up your phone) Step 4 Download this BAT file http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=at...st&id=47436 Step 5 Drag the BAT file in to the folder with the rest of the files you have downloaded and run it -You will be able to tell if this step has worked by the output in the CMD.

Guest Rem1x Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) My modded theme, with some other mods tacked on. I'll update this later on how to get those. This should be all correct, but as you can see it's V0.1, so contact me about errors :) And if this breaks any thing(which is unlikely) it's not my fault, so don't blame me!

Guest david_dawkins Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 That is a fabulous looking theme, and thanks for posting the instructions. I may give that a go a little later. Why does it take so many complicated steps though? Is Android not designed for "one-touch" theming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest david_dawkins Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 That's what I thought at first! Trust me, it's not as complicated as it looks :) Yeah, it is. It ought to be as easy as Menu->Wallpaper is for setting the wallpaper, right? It still looks awesome, but my question is sincere; why does it take all those steps?

Guest le_lutin Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Does this add anything in terms of functionality? I see, for example that you have new call and contact buttons at the bottom of you homescreen, do these actually work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they don't work, but you won't actually get that in the tutorial, that's a custom launcher. I thought people had the white clock working? =/ They do, but I think you need a theme specially made to have a white clock.

Guest Spooke Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Thanks for making the tutorial! Once I get ADB sorted it shouldnt be too hard to get it done :), What are the chances of permantley bricking the phone? 0%? Also are ADB Drivers the ones that we installed with the phone? or are they something different? Edited March 24, 2010 by Spooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get ADB sorted it shouldnt be too hard to get it done :), What are the chances of permantley bricking the phone? 0%? I'd say 0%, but there is always that risk when you do anything. I really doubt you could break any thing properly with this, the worst that would happen is that you'd have to reflash your phone. Yes, the ADB drivers should be the ones that you installed with the phone. Edited March 24, 2010 by Rem1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
