Quick Installation Overview

Step 1: Make an Advanced Nandroid backup of your current Rom with all options selected in recovery

Step 2: Install the DarkEdge Nandroid Starter or your Rom of choice (make sure to wipe data and cache multiple times)

Step 3: Make another Advanced Nandroid backup and make sure all options are selected in recovery

Step 4: Apply the DarkEdge Metamorph corresponding to your Rom (apply to the Nandroid Starter as well, updates will be added to the Metamorph, not the Nandroid)

Step 5: If it does not boot then use FwT or push /framework manually in recovery

Step 6: Once booted, use A2S (Apps2System) to move market apps to /system/app/ for proper themeing

Step 7: Apply the DarkEdge Apps Metamorph so the apps moved by A2S are properly themed

Step 8: Make sure you get an OC kernel, get your phone set up, stare in amazement, and ENJOY!

Quick FAQ:

Should I read the guide?

YES, we didn't make it for lack of reason.

Will I need ADB and what is ADB?

Yes. ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, but that really doesn't matter. It allows you access the phone from your PC in order to input commands. There are links available in the guide to get you set up with this, and honestly, if you are thinking about using this theme, you should get familiar with it.

What is FwT?

Framework transfer. Metamorph and ESE81 don't get along so well and most of the time, for most people, there installation will cut off @ the framework (the very final part of the main MM) and will cause their phone to black screen with soft keys lit. Since some people are unfamiliar with commands, Xeudoxus created the FwT program to manually move the framework, which is the next step in order to get your phone back to a working order AND have the theme installed.

What is A2S?

Apps to System. In order for metamorph to properly theme certain apps, they need to be moved from /data/app to /system/app. Xeudoxus has created a tool which will do all of this for you. It moves only the apps affected by the Apps MM available from us, nothing else.

What is my market FCing after downloading an app?

Please use the DarkEdge App MM and select vending.cpy. Your vending is messed up and we have the fix ready for you!

Will my ROM work with this theme?

This is a complete edit of multiple areas of the Android OS. Some roms will work, some won't. Join the IRC and ask if someone has tried yours yet. We are working on creating a list of ROMs that work.

TO EVERYONE WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY WITH INSTALLATION.

There is a lot being modified with this theme. It's not just an image pack like most others. If you want this theme, it's in your best interests to load up the installation guide and follow it step by step. At the same time, please join the IRC where there are people to assist you and answer your questions. The link is in the first post.

If you follow the guide, you will have 100% success unless there is an issue directly related to YOUR pc (which could cause hiccups with certain tools that are required). We can help you get around those as well.

The installation guide and IRC are your friend.

This is a guide on how to install DarkEdge for CyanogenMod 5.0.6.2 using Windows 7 64-bit (w/ Administrator Access). I take no credit at all, I am not part of the team or anything like that. I typed this up for a friend, but I figure I could help a few people out there.

Prerequisite and preparation:

5B. Select 'Pick existing theme'; select 'DarkEdge-CM-5.0.6.2'; select 'DarkEdge-CM-5.0.6.2.xml'; Apply all! and let it work it's magic
5C. 99.8% chance your phone will crash when it attempts to patch the Framework. Do not panic, relax, do a battery pull, and reboot into Clockwork Recovery (Hold Power+X upon startup)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6A. Once in Clockwork Recovery
6B. Make sure your USB cord is connected to your Droid (duh!)
6C. Goto 'Partition Menu'; select 'mount /system' & 'mount /sdcard'
------Troubleshooting: You can either use FwT or Android SDK manual file pushing-----

8D. Type or copy in:
--> adb shell
--> busybox cp /sdcard/AndroidThemes/DarkEdge-CM-5.0.6.2/framework/* /system/framework/
--> If using a different DE theme, replace 'DarkEdge-CM-5.0.6.2' with your new theme name (ie: DarkEdge-ESE81-Blue)
8E. If successful, from 'Partition Menu'; select 'unmount /system' & 'unmount /sdcard'
Click here to see how a successful push looks if done correctly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Reboot system and wait for the beautiful theme to load!
Note: It may take up to 2-5 minutes for it to completely load the first time. Be patient.
