Hey all. I just recently flashed fission to my d2g and I am quite happy with it. I would however like to install the gingerbread theme with black pulldown and was wondering if I could just use FRM and install it that way or if I should manually install it. Or does it even matter? I just don't wanna screw anything up since everything is working pervectly right now. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Because for some reason, my threads seem to remain active and there have been many questions regarding this rom, I have decided to post the download and install instructions from the defuse site and also include a link directly to it. Again, I am not an expert. I never intended this thread to be a tutorial. I had a question and it wasn't answered and so I took a leap of faith and everything just happened to work out fine for me.
Just to be thorough, i also want to add that before I installed this rom, I installed the deodexed/busybox/rooted stock rom from the GRD sub-forum located HERE.
Then I followed the instructions located HERE
Below is a copy of the instructions quoted for the defuse site.
AGAIN, I AM NOT AN EXPERT AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MISTAKES OR MISFORTUNES! I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND IT JUST WORKED! PERIOD! I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES AND THEREFORE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX ANY ISSUES THAT YOU MAY HAVE!
IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS OVER ANOTHER CUSTOM ROM, YOU MAY LOSE SOME FUNCTIONALITY. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE STEPS, YOU MAY LOSE SOME FUNCTIONALITY. THIS IS THE EXTENT OF MY FISSION KNOWLEDGE. BE SAFE AND ENJOY!!!!
