Then what? Download and install via ASTRO if they are an apk?

I think I may have something wrong with ADWLauncher.

How are you able to change the number of screens? For some reason, when I enter screen preferences there is no choice to edit the number of screens.

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 07:13 PM

You gotta push it via adb or terminal emulator. A lot of them are in update.zip format and flash through recovery.

I believe ADW is 3 screens only.

chevyrado14 · 08-26-2010, 07:16 PM

i coulda swore when i first installed adw i could choose like 7 screens. i have 4 set now but there is no option to change it anymore

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 07:29 PM

I think you use to be able to change it but not anymore. LP might let you add more screens.

how do I use terminal emulator? I know its on my D1, but have never used it before.

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 07:52 PM

what are you trying to push? all you gotta do is open it and type the commands

race2c · 08-26-2010, 07:58 PM

I haven't tried yet, just asking before I get into installing a theme. I would do that after I install the files somewhere on the SD card?

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 08:08 PM

yeah whatever you are gonna push goes on the root of your sd.

Just downloaded this and its basically everything we already have compiled into one folder with instructions.

race2c · 08-26-2010, 08:12 PM

tutorial somewhere?

**stonehenge** · 08-26-2010, 08:14 PM

You can change the number of screens on ADW. It is just done in a different way now:

Go to any of your homescreens, press menu and choose "Edit". From here you can press the "pin" icon to make the current screen your default. You can press the red "x" to delete the current screen, and you can press the "+" icons to the left/right to create a new screen in that direction. You can press the "<- ->" button to swap screens.

So you don't just pick a number anymore, you do it that way.

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 08:16 PM

Holy shit didnt even realize that.

Most themes are just framewoek-res.apk and services.jar so these are the commands you would run.

su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

I saw the NexTheme too, hopefully he ports REVO. Did you end up pushing one?

**stonehenge** · 08-26-2010, 08:26 PM

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 08:31 PM

I would just push the Sense for now since its so easy.

**stonehenge** · 08-26-2010, 08:33 PM

DONT YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO

chevyrado14 · 08-26-2010, 08:34 PM

o wow i like the way adw does screens now. when first set it up it had 5 but i wanted 4 so i chenged it to 4 and it deleted one i already had shortcuts on ftl. but now is more better.

**stonehenge** · 08-26-2010, 08:36 PM

yeah its kinda cool

race2c · 08-26-2010, 08:38 PM

lol, I am lost.

I want to try this....928Droid Black Grass, but I have no clue where to start or what to download...since I am using a CM Nighly from 8/26.

MikeH · 08-26-2010, 08:57 PM

I hate glass themes but post a link.

**stonehenge** · 08-26-2010, 09:00 PM

lol yeah i hate black glass but I think thats because for a LONG time that was all there was for the Droid so I had it for quite a while.

race2c · 08-26-2010, 09:00 PM

Whats the difference between a standard theme and a glass theme?

Not sure if it would work since CM6 RC2/3 is different than Nightly stuff.

I think you're ok but just make sure you make a nandroid backup first, that way if it doesn't work, you just restore it.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

The nightlies and the RCs should be close enough when it comes to the framework and whatnot that it should work

race2c · 08-26-2010, 10:02 PM

Gonna try it, and hope for the best. :fingerscrossed:

So what is the difference of a glass theme?

Already got my nandroid backup performed.

**stonehenge** · 08-26-2010, 10:08 PM

It's just the style of the theme. Everything is a transparent light grey to black fade and the icons tend to be colorful and sometimes cheesy. That one you are trying doesn't look all that bad but I've just grown to like the ones with very simple icons and plain (almost solid) black notification bars.
