Correct the reason there is a flash install process is to change the theme of the cm7 UI to match the metro style and add special Widgets. You could keep the ui the same and make the tiles by adding the metroui folder and using visualized app so you don't need to flash.

Hi mate I have sent you an email but for anyone else email me and ill send you the build.prop file. If you already have one just follow these steps.

To get this to work for me I didn't overwrite the file as it does not work for some reason.

1st – Backup your original build.prop in the /system folder to somewhere but keep a copy there still as we are going to edit this.

2nd – Copy my build.prop to your sdcard

3rd – Long press on my file and open and edit in text editor or equivalent, select all text and copy.

4th – Exit the file and navigate to your /system folder activate rw access at the top of the screen so you can edit the file.

5th – Open your build.prop and select all text then delete, once deleted paste the text from my build.prop file you should now see the device name says a GT 1000 etc

6th – Close the file and it should ask you to save it, disable rw back to ro and exit file browser.

7th – Reboot your device and once your back in go to menu/settings/about and see if your device name has changed to the GT 1000 if it has exit and open google play type in "gameloft" and all the games should now show and allow you to install.

If this helps you mate please thank me on the forum, I am new to the forum and I am trying to build my credibility up.

Take Care

Keith

So, if I'm from another CM7 I would have to flash the second ROM and then follow brobots 's instruction then I would have to do the theming myself!

And can you send the build.prop file, I saw your instruction involving copy & pasting text, why can't we move the whole build.prop file to the system directory, then we don't have to do it too long and confusing, my email is: pmdcorporation@aol.com

Thanks A lot for this theme, and I thanked you on both of your post, expect to see another awesome update soon.

PS: Does this work with CM9, if it's not, could you consider porting it!

There are a few ways you can look at this, if you just want to add the Metro them icons to your screen just download the image pack in BroBots175 step 3 and install appalizer then set it up. the only reason to flash the rom is to give your cm7 interface buttons the metro look (i.e. back button, menu button etc), however you don't need to.

I don't know why the build.prop files does not work when you just overwrite the file? maybe it's signed in someway? I do know that it works in the way that I described so thats how I do it.

Default Tiles for apps and games.

Hi I have made a few tiles for games and apps that I use. I haven't followed the theme too much as I like to see the correct images on my games icons, but I have added a download link incase anyone wants them. I have put two pictures below so you can see them.

I'm a Windows 8 Consumer Preview User Myself.
Adding the ability to add wallpapers would be nice for that port.
