Root [ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme

I'm trying to download the beta Music app from the Android market. After it finishes downloading, it always says "Package file was not signed correctly" and it fails to install. Is there an easy way to fix this?

Which build are you on?

Did you try wiping market cache?

Did you try booting into recovery and wiping cache/dalvik cache?

If those steps dont' work:
1- Using a root file manager, move the following file to your sdcard:
/system/etc/init.d/01mvdalvik
2- From the settings menu, choose applications, select all, find the market, then clear market data and cache
3- Reboot into recovery, and wipe cache and under advanced wipe dalvik
4- Reboot and try installing from the market.

I like this theme a lot. In my opinion the font is good. It's enough of a change to actually tell it's different, but it doesn't make it hard for me to read anything.
One thing I would change is the color to a darker blue...just personal preference, but if you decide to do that I would love to know since I don't own a computer and can't theme myself. Lol I don't think you understand how grateful id be :)

Here you go, enjoy... DarkerBlue10-17.zip

edit: crap, i used the wrong font. i will do it again...

Here, i think this is the right font, i changed the blue too, like this better... BetterBlue10-17.zip

New launcher app that clones ice cream sandwich. Looks awesome https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2
Looks awesome, but needs some tweaking yet. It has the on-screen buttons (menu, home, back) they have a different placement than the V does, so it is confusing.

I didn't play with the customizing too much, so some of this stuff may be there I just haven't found it yet. It has 5 home screen and spreads all of your default apps across 3 screens, why not just condense them to one as default? It did not see a way to make page one loop to page 5 nor add more than one row of dock buttons. It also kept crashing when trying to load my Go Launcher wallpaper.

I only fiddled with it for about 30 or 40 minutes and it is very new. I will give it a try again in a week or so.

  • I'm using the current 10/17 build.
  • I had the Music beta app before with one of your previous builds (preinstalled).
  • I tried moving the 01mvdalvik folder to the sd card with root explorer, clearing the market data and cache, and rebooting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache. It didn't seem to fix the error.

This is what happens every time I try to install the Music beta app:

Didn't that come installed with BACKside? The one in the rom is a more updated version than what's on the Market. I tried installing it from the Market and also got an error, so maybe that's why. I could be totally wrong though.

It was in a previous build. The current 10/17 build has the old Music app. I've tried searching for the error on Google, but didn't find much.

Just search Ice Cream Sandwich on the Market. Its the theme developed by Kovdev.

nvm, i just saw your screenshot. You will have to long press on the app drawer icon, go to edit, click the icon, then click adwtheme icon packs, should see the round icon in there. just select that.

Try plugging your phone in, going usb storage, go to your your usb, then android, data, delete com.google.android.music and com.android.music. then turn off usb storage and try to install and run the app.

Alright, finally got it (mostly) right

I present my first public theme, "Think Pink":

pinkhome.png


pink1.png


pink5.png


pink4.png



Notes:
Transparent status bar

Kept the clock white for readability

Heart battery indicator-gets smaller and lighter as battery drains, gets rapidly bigger when its charging (reminds me of the grinch's heart growing 3 sizes in the cartoon, lol)

Caviar Dreams font

I just checked the volume sliders, and they look kind of terrible :(. I didn't account for the color of the window when I chose the color for the sliders. sorry. I can change it if someone wants me too.

comments, questions, requests are welcome :D

Get it here: ThinkPink 10/18

One of you guys should start a new thread "BACKside Themes" where you can show off screenshots and offer downloads of your themes.
I am going to start said thread. I've been trying to find the perfect system them to go with my current GO Launcher theme with no luck. Maybe if we have a repository for all themes and an exchange of knowledge they will continue to get better.
sadielynn beat me to it. That's what I get for not refreshing my browser when I first wake up.
