[Theme] NexTheme for Droid X Froyo 2.2

[specmac]

Does this ver work on the new ota 2.2?

Not unless you're deodexed...I've heard xUltimate can help with that.

already done, was wondering if its possible to do this without the bootstrap. Without having a full sbf for 2.2 I dont really want to mess with the bootstrap incase of warranty issues.

I was in the same boat and didnt really want to apply the custom recovery. I did get the theme installed, but it takes a bit of work in ADB:

To start with, I'm running the OTA 2.2, rooted and deodexed using xUltimate.

I then unzipped the update file. Moved the following folders from the update file to the root of the SDcard under a folder called "theme" (from and to folders below):

/Fabolous_NexTheme_Froyo_DX/system/app/ ---> /sdcard/theme/app/
/Fabolous_NexTheme_Froyo_DX/system/fonts/ ---> /sdcard/theme/fonts/
/Fabolous_NexTheme_Froyo_DX/system/framework/ ---> /sdcard/theme/framework/

Then open a command prompt and enter the following commands (assuming you have ADB installed and working):

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/theme/fonts/* /system/fonts/
cp /sdcard/theme/app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/theme/framework/* /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

This manual apply method should work for his other update files as well.

By the way, Thanks Fab!

Supp fab. Can anyone help me get the black google search widget. it is not part of the update.zip for the droid x. If its not too much could you also include the music player widget from the original nextheme? thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the instructions specmac! Worked like a charm!

However, one hiccup. The clock in the notification bar to the right of the battery is in black text so it obviously doesn't show. Tried to find the "font" to see if I could match up a missing file from stock or the nextheme and can't seem to find it.

Any ideas anyone?

Hmm, not sure as I'm not having that problem. The font file doesn't effect the color. I initially installed the theme fonts, then later went back to the stock fonts. Both had the clock as white text.

Maybe Fab can help?

Repeated these steps on OTA 2.2 and they worked like a charm! Thanks for posting these steps specman and of course thanks Fab for an awesome theme!
