hmm and your sure you renamed it to update.zip and its in the base directory of the sdcard?

You don't have your extensions hidden do you? If so, you may have named it update.zip.zip

LMAO i think that might acually be the problem, using a diff computer

**stonehenge** · 04-14-2010, 10:47 PM

damn computers always fuckin shit up

jschrock · 04-14-2010, 11:14 PM

**stonehenge** · 04-14-2010, 11:33 PM

i did, but i am installing the "blue" one ?

**stonehenge** · 04-14-2010, 11:40 PM

Ohhh okay, I like the standard one. Until this ROM I'd been using smoked glass with blue accents so I'm kinda burned out on the black/blue thing. But it is a sekzy combo.

jschrock · 04-14-2010, 11:49 PM

I like this one...but dunno how to get it on there...

**stonehenge** · 04-14-2010, 11:50 PM

That's the dark smoked glass. If you had installed the Ultimate Droid Themed one you would have got it... instead of the NexTheme one :/

jschrock · 04-14-2010, 11:56 PM

Ok, i installed:
Ultimate Droid V9.8.0 Stock Ulitmate Droid Theme Update.zip (Theme Only - Not Full Install)

and still cannot get it on there? Damn i feel like an idiot..

I have the black screen with red dots going across it

**stonehenge** · 04-15-2010, 04:25 PM

black screen with red dots wtfffff

JayBo · 04-15-2010, 04:37 PM

maybe the boot screen before the eye loads??

**stonehenge** · 04-15-2010, 04:51 PM

I hope you made a backup before

I mean you can always mount the usb via Recovery and put a rom on it to flash so your not stuck by any means.

JayBo · 04-15-2010, 04:55 PM

Thats the only screen with red dots that comes to mind..

**stonehenge** · 04-15-2010, 05:02 PM

Yeah but I've never seen a phone freeze in the boot animation. I've seen it loop forever or never reach the animation, but never freeze in the middle. Oh well, theres a first for everything lol

JayBo · 04-15-2010, 05:32 PM

yeah mines looped foreverrrrr before. It actually loops 2 times booting with UD right now. Dunno why, but oh well.
I haven't cut it off in several days now either, so its no biggie

**stonehenge** · 04-15-2010, 09:44 PM

Flatching new rawm

JayBo · 04-16-2010, 02:22 PM

Cynoagen?? Or whatever?

**stonehenge** · 04-16-2010, 04:40 PM

Yeah there is an app to flash it but it is theme-less, with a standard kernel. So you have to flash the rom, then flash a kernel, and if you want a theme, flash that also. I did the rom/kernel. Using the stock theme for a bit but I'm already getting tired of it LOL

This rom has some interesting features. 360* rotation, USB tethering built in, when music is playing and phone is asleep you can hold vol up or down to change tracks, can install apps to your sdcard (essentially unlimited space for apps since 16gb = ZOMG ALO), more settings in Contacts app, more settings in Messages (led color, blink speed, vibrate pattern, etc), almost 100% working 3d launcher, and of course little tweaks and whatnot in the background.

So far I'm liking it. When I first installed it, it seemed slow but after putting Helix on it and overclocking it, it feels good like UD did lol

JayBo · 04-16-2010, 05:10 PM

So straight up how do you like it compared to UD?

**stonehenge** · 04-16-2010, 05:15 PM

Fresh install vs Fresh install I like UD better I think because it comes bundled with a theme and a kernel thats good to go.

But the added features in CM make it worth finding/flashing the kernel and theme. I think. LOL

Still messing with it.

JayBo · 04-16-2010, 05:19 PM

Let me know. I wish the messaging app had the options you're talking about.
Handcent really has all of those options though

**stonehenge** · 04-16-2010, 05:24 PM

I would occassionally get fuck ups with handcent. I really did like it but every now and then I wouldn't get messages or it wouldn't let me send some or I would see a message in my notification bar and then go into handcent and it wasn't there. Stupid shit like that.

This modified one has led color, blink speed, vibrate pattern, black background in txts instead of white, font size, and you can hide names.

Nothing ZOMG but just enough settings to make me not miss handcent.

JayBo · 04-16-2010, 05:27 PM

Noice!

BTW, UD is STILLLLLLL randomly erasing some of my text threads!! What the hell??

**stonehenge** · 04-16-2010, 05:29 PM

CM is like DroidMod. You can download the rom from the internet and flash it yourself or you can download Rom Manager and install the recovery/rom that way. The only thing that "sucks" is that the Rom Manager also lets you flash themes, kernels, etc just by looking through a list and choosing what you want. It is actually really cool but to do that you need Rom Manager Premium ($4)

The free version ONLY lets you flash the rom and recovery.

Oh and the Premium version also has a big list of other non-CM roms that you can flash via the app.

It might actually be worth the $4 because even if I end up not liking CM, there are a bunch of other roms on there too
