Root [ROM] Number Two (#2) v3.0.1 {ZVE}

is there a way to flash back only the original aosp lockscreen theme but keep the rest of the default 2.2 theme? i like the theme i suppose, but i love the look of the stock aosp theme.
or even if there's a stock ZVD theme (i flashed one i found on this forum and it didn't even change the dialer/contacts/etc icons to stock)

i stopped using broken out when i started using #2 a couple days ago. but instead of LD kernel (seems all it had was minfree) i use blizkrieg kernel for its features and OC and autokiller pro for advanced minfree along with ultimate juice defender. i'm new to android in general (though not new to linux or modding devices) but so far i love this setup. juicedefender makes my battery last 1.6-1.9x longer and autokiller keeps it from ever slowing down/lagging without actually being an aggressive task killing app, just a memory management performance enhancer.
 
right, i got that and i flashed it but when i rebooted the aosp lock screen still had the ICS theme (2.2 default).
you know, two white circles for unlock and volume off/on.

i meant specifically the look/theme of the aosp lock screen :)

I just flashed it over 2.2 and it flashed the stock lockscreen first try. i had that issue before also, but reflashed and it worked

It might..

try flashing the Stock lockscreen instead of AOSP

then flash the AOSP over it

Just making sure, you do know that the AOSP lockscreen is slide left to right? Stock is the slide up glass

i'll try that after i try flashing the aosp lock screen again.
and yes, of course i know the difference between the stock lock screen and the aosp screen. i love the way the aosp screen looks with no mods. 2.2 theme aosp is a little too simplistic.

the actual theme of the aosp lockscreen is in framework-res.apk
 
so i reflashed the aosp lockscreen, it still had the 2.2 default theme.
so i booted into recovery, backed up, flashed stock lock screen, now my phone won't turn on. it's stuck on the LG screen and doesn't even start the intro.
i can boot into lg recovery, but when i press power 3 times (actually two) it reboots, goes to the LG screen then stays there.

Try again?

Not much you can do if your not rooted and have CWM installed. Try pulling your battery and letting it sit and also your SD card.

i was rooted and i did have CWM installed. flashing the stock lock screen zip caused my phone to be unable to boot. and if i go into LG recovery and factory reset, nothing happens it reboots straight into LG screen and stays there.

also i pulled my battery and let it sit for 3+ hours earlier, just got back home right now. still stuck on LG.

You said you downgraded and the phone wouldn't boot up. Is that right or did I read something wrong?


What you say here isnt what you said above. So what exactly has happened? If you can get into recovery then why dont you just flash a ROM. Sounds like your system was erased so obviously a factory reset wouldn't work cause there is nothing there.

yeah, you read wrong.

this is what happened:
1: rebooted into CWM recovery and made a nandroid backup
2: formatted cache and dalvik
3: flashed a zip from SD: "stock lockscreen.zip" from the first page of this thread
4: rebooted phone, stuck on LG screen (red circle logo and white letters LG next to it)
5: tried pulling battery, letting it sit, didn't help. stuck on LG.
6: booted into LG (stock - vol-&+) recovery where it says press power to format settings and factory reset.
7: pressed power three times, didn't boot into CWM. instead, booted to LG and still stuck.
8: tried step 7 20+ times
9: followed the thread i linked to with the walkthrough on how to downgrade to ZVB so i can upgrade to ZVD
10: eventually after trying over and over, was able to perform the "upgrade" to ZVB and LGNPST even said the update was 100% complete/successful
11: reboot phone, still stuck on LG.

i don't get why you're acting snide. sure, i'm new to android but i'm not an idiot. i know what would and wouldn't harm the phone. all i did was flash the stock lock screen exactly how i said i did above.

This is what I read

xVermicide said:
yeah it does. in fact, i've followed this guide: http://androidforums.com/esteem-all...zvd-zvc-zvb-emer-pb-recovery.html#post3775233

to downgrade back to zvb so i can upgrade to zvd. i actually got it to go through the process and my phone said it was downloading, LGNPST said the "upgrade" to zvb was complete, but when i try to turn my phone on, it still stays on the lg screen.
Click to expand...

Clearly it says LGPNST said upgrade to ZVB was complete BUT when I try to turn on my phone it stays on the LG screen.

That's what I asked you right?

I'm trying to help you. Obviously everyone else is lost too because you made two different posts about the same issue.


If I was missing whatever else you did to your phone then fine, explain it. Not once have I been "snide".


If you want help I will read over what "actually" happened and see what I can offer.

So your computer will recognize the phone?
 
see here: http://androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/530145-rom-number-two-2-v2-2-zvd-63.html#post4795989

i didn't make two posts about it, i don't even see how you're confused if you'd read that^ post first.
and yeah, you asked me that. you also asked if you read something, which you did.
anyway, now that you know the extent of my problem, is there anything you can think of anything that might help?

i just installed different drivers (the ones that are passed around this forum, not the same one from LG websites) and my computer read my phone as "adb something something" which didn't happen before with the other drivers. should i try downgrading with LGNPST again?

EDIT:
yep my phone is recognized by my computer as all 4 or so devices it should be.
i even switched to linux and plugged in my phone, to find that it is an ethernet usb adapter or something. so i'm thinking my "internet connection" usb setting is still taking some sort of effect unless i'm wrong on that.

also, if it matters, my phone can still half-boot or whatever into the battery charging screen if i plug it into my computer too soon after turning it on.
but if i wait 30+ seconds and then plug it in, my computer recognizes it as android device, modem, ethernet etc etc. just no mass storage. so i think that's equivalent to internet connection usb setting?

I would try rooting and installing recovery via the AIO Root.

If that works then you can at least get into recovery and flash a backup or a ROM.


I dont see the drivers changing the downgrade. LGPNST either sees the phone or it doesn't, the drivers wont change the outcome.

Try the AIO first in the guide sticky. Or Ill link the touch recovery thats new and you can try that.


AIO root and touch recovery.

Choose option 2


If the phone reboots you know it worked. Let it run its course.
