Rooting an i7500L

I own the same device as you do too. I never tried Mustymod or GAOSP, but I can tell you that Galaxo 1.6.3.2 works just fine.

 

Nope, I even wrote a guide on how to do it. It's right there.

By installing Galaxo, you don't change the baseband, which is what causes problems with flashing firmwares.

 

The only casualty with Mustymod is that you lose bluetooth and the camera. As soon as they get that sorted, its what I will be flashing to.

 

No one is working on Mustymod anymore. Korline is working on the camera for GAOSP, but it's no easy task (now that the 3D is almost working).

I haven't heard about bluetooth.

 

Well, you should start by overclocking your phone, you can do this by going into the Galaxo configuration app and selecting one of the two "O/C" options. Don't forget to click on Apply settings.

You can now apply themes to your phone. Not a lot are available, but you can create your own easily if you find the right icons or if you have some photo-editing skills (I use photoshop, but GIMP is a free alternative).

I installed Helix launcher, another launcher, but not the one from the market, because your phone will slow down a lot if you have multiple launchers. And I customized a theme to get what I wanted, so I used some stuff from GalaxAir and I made my own too (using metamorph).

You can also use the wifi tethering that comes with Galaxo.

 

Android Market.

 

ct2020 is right, with Galaxo you'll need to have it as a .zip, or if you install it from the market you have to delete the original launcher (it's locked in memory).

Anyway, I didn't remember where I got it, so I just uploaded it for you.

HELIX.zip

There you go.

EDIT: You have to put it on your phone, do a nandroid backup, fix package permissions, apply any zip and select HELIX.zip

 

You can easily change the icons yourself for any application using Metamorph (it's free).

To find out how to do so, I suggest downloading a theme to use with Metamorph, such as Galaxair. You'll then see how simple it is to make custom themes, and with a little experimentation you'll be able to do your own. Explaining it would take much longer than just checking out an existing theme.

Once you've done that, you can take the application you want (.apk file), and open it with winrar or something similar. In it, you should go in the "res" folder, then usually in the "drawable" folder. There, you'll see many pictures, and if you check them you'll recognize the application icon. That's the one you have to replace, and then put that into your custom "theme", ready to be applied using metamorph.

I hope that wasn't too complicated.

 

Metamorph is only used to apply some themes (and I think Darksense doesn't work with Metamorph, if you had to install it via the recovery).

I'm not quite sure if you can modify market apps easily.

 

Oh my, I'm such an idiot.

You probably just wanted to change the icons, right? Well, you don't need to get into the metamorph business at all, and in fact it's much more complicated to use on market apps.

You simply need to download an app to change the icons. I know bettercut does it, maybe Anycut, so there must be others (and free ones!).

 

you can not use metamorph on market apps at all, if you would, the app would disapear since market checks if it gets changed. if you
