Damn it, don't know how to put download links in a post? Only ever done them on the pc.

dan55

cool :-) thanks. that worked a treat cheers.
wasn't helped by me not remembering how to dload file in browser :-\ :-D

SUroot

From photobucket (even teh app) you can get the link already wrapped in [img] tags

Yeah I can get the image just not the direct download,
I've always used dropbox on the pc before but that always fails on here so trying photobucket now, it uploads [img] fine bit I don't think it's possible to make direct download link.

dan55

hi Dan. thanks.
yes could be user error on my part :-D
cheers

SUroot

why would you want a direct download link?

ducky1979

Just tried the link myself, that seems to work ok anyway, just not as easy as using direct download as on the pc.

SUroot

I havent got a clue what you are talking about. They're all words and they make sense, yet to me it means nothing.

dan55

:-D :-D most of my posts are like that I feel ;-)

thanks ducky for the full pic

ducky1979

Hahahahaha what I mean is, I tried to send dan the link for my wallpaper, and the link I put up only led him to my photobucket picture, i wanted to make a link so dan could just tap it and it just downloads, like you can with dropbox on the pc.

dan55

it sort of did work. I got the full pic viewed and then could tap and hold
in browser for download to phone option

SUroot

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ducky1979

But saying that the md5's I uploaded last night didn't do that, I must be missing something.
I do just copy the link and wrap it with [*url=blahblah] here[/url*] that's right isn't it?

SUroot

Yeah

Jon_LTD

First theme cooking!

Fingers crossed, eh? I'll be sure to Nandroid first.

SUroot

You'll have to show me when its done.

We should have a custom themes show-off thread.

Jon_LTD

Shall do! It's not refined though - I could probably spend hours doing it. It's a very good tool with a lot of functionality behind it!
This is very much a "dry run" with some themes and ideas behind it which I like the look of. I assume I can simply create a new theme which I can flash over the top (missing out all the mods I'm already happy with)?

I think I've found a new hobby!

SUroot

Yeah if you miss out the mods you want to keep, dont forget you are uploading your newer FW and SystemUI, not the originals...

Some thimes I create I have to run through twice. My current theme I ran through teh kitchen twice then spent an hour modifiying images manually too

I think I've found a new hobby! [/QUOTE]

Yeah, it does get very addicting.

ROOTING FAQS

Hmm all seems to be well. It's certainly a starting point!

Ah yes - I'll have to remember to use those. I just uploaded the files directly from the .zip on my harddrive from when I initially downloaded it. Do you just upload them directly from your phone?

My first taste and I'm hooked! And to think it didn't initially interest me

SUroot

Depends how Im doing it. Usually I just take them out of my dgb rom zip (of which I have several floating around) and upload via computer. Then I download teh new versions and upload them too.

dan55

yeah I just grab the fresh system and framework files
each time. bit of a pain but has to be done :-D

ducky1979

All I did was pull the system and framework out of the uot file, and uploaded them, the best way to do it really, saves any potential problems.
I'm getting hooked on themeing

dan55

hi ducky,

oh right - you grabbed them out of the uot zip and then just copied em on to the system folders?

ducky1979

no i mean when i am themeing after ive already done it once. as i have the uot file on my desktop, i use an app called android sync manager, which allows me to upload files to the handset without plugging the phone in. i simply browse the uot file using 7zip and extract the framework and system files to the desktop, i then upload them to uot for the basis of the new theme, of course thats if im changing everything again, otherwise i just reflash the rom and use the rom files and start from scratch.

dan55

ah right i see

really hope that romtoolbox peeps sort out this feature soon - tis a right pain having to use uot all the time

cheers

...im sporting a yellow/gold theme currently on mw 3ox rom - looks nice - have sort of run out of colors now though :/

ducky1979

hahaha, i cant decide if i like my orange theme yet, i may have gone a bit ott, ive tried the animated icons an they look cool but not very personal, its a shame you cant change colours on the SCB with % battery icons, but i do enjoy having a bit of a play on uot, i was on it for a couple of hours last night!! the mrs was well chuffed

dan55

i bet she was

....i wonder if they will add some more icons ot the site soon? those standard ones are a bit dull

Jon_LTD

Just been doing another theme msyelf..

I think the word is "hooked"

dan55

i know it just takes over your life doesnt it - what with that and flashing new roms all the time

....having a night off tonight as did both last night

please do add a pic to the lovely new theme thread

ducky1979

well shes on the phone to her nan so ive made good use of the time!!
yet another theme being cooked!!

Jon_LTD

I shall do, Dan. But I'm trying to find my perfect theme.. I'm going to flash a new one now and see how it fairs. I'll give it 24 hours before I'm back on tomorrow cooking a new one!

dan55

ok thanks Jon

Ducky - are you going to upload?

i could load mine but with Go launcher and Widget locker running they pretty much look the same

ducky1979

im having a go at go locker at the min, i tried it when it first came out and it was very buggy and laggy but it seems loads better now.

dan55

have you tried WL? it is good imo

ducky1979

Yeah I've got wl, i just like a change, ive got quite a few paid apps I don't use much. I suppose I'm like you in that I can never settle on anything for long

dan55

yeah true - ive tried to stay with stock rom lock screens, but keep find im missing WL too much - as i like having my widgets on there (app lock, message centre and audio manager)

main paid apps are calendar related - plus email (EE) - as i hate gmail

dan55

UOT driving me crazy at mo. on my 3rd file build attempt :-(
when will there be an easier way....

SUroot

Have you tried the downloadable offline version?

dan55

show me where! :-D
hi Dan.interesting. how does that work?

UOT still wont theme my notifications :-(
...giving up

oh,I'm back on cm7 btw

SUroot

cant find it now. Maybe he removed the option

dan55

ok thanks for checking.
hopefully site will be fixed soon

Jon_LTD

It appears to be working now.. I'm tempted to have a play about but I'm quite discouraged tbh.

dan55

hi Jon.
have you flashed one? my files were missing bits
especially the notification section
cheers
dan

Jon_LTD

I ended up not bothering I'm afraid. Just too lazy sometimes

dan55

I dunno :-\ :-D

had to flash back to dGB to get mine to work..
that's the sort if dedication you need ;-)

Jon_LTD

Heh, I don't know how you manage to play so much Dan! I suppose that's the beauty of nandroid.

dan55

:-D nandroid be damned :-D
that was a fresh flash and all

.....helps that I couldn't sleep last night :-( :-D
