4. Reboot your device into Recovery Mode
5. Go to install custom zip option
6. Click, Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip, wait a little
7. Reboot Your X10mini / X8

If you want to back to stock android theme use X10 mini Stock Theme version.
Unpack it, choose FW version and copy required update.zip to SDCard, and then install it via XRecovery.

THREAD UPDATES:

Changes history from ANDROiD 1.6 (FW 1.2.A.1.174) to ANDROiD 2.1 (2.1.1.A.0.6) moved to attachment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

X10mini/ mini pro FW 2.1.1.0.A.6 INSTALLATION NOTES

1. Download package [2.1.1.A.0.6]X10mini_Xrecovery@draco_ag[XDA].7z, choose desired theme version and install it via Xrecovery.
After restart Your phone will have a long first boot, around 10-11 minutes (if You're updating from stock theme), but dont worry phone will boot successfully.

2. If Your phone will go to bootloop (continious restarts) after install above package, i also prepared 2 step installation process to apply framework modifications:

FIRST Use Xrecovery to install desired theme version from package: [2.1.1.A.0.6]BASIC_X10mini_Xrecovery@draco_ag[XDA].7z . Reboot phone and wait until it boot successfully.

SECOND Get and extract file: [2.1.1.A.0.6]UPDATE_X10mini_Xrecovery@draco_ag.7z. Copy update.zip for desired theme version to Your SDcard and reboot phone. Use Xrecovery to update framework.

ATTENTION: If You mess the step order Your phone will not boot.

If You have problem with SMS default app and not popup options use the attached version of SuquashiInputMethod.apk file.
Upload it to phone and use Root Explorer to copy and set the correct permissions to this file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LAST CHANGES (22.11.2011):

- Added beta version of theme for ThemeChooser

This is for testing purpose ATM. Please install miniCM package again, because stock miniCM framework/apps files are needed for testing. There is no preview available in ThemeChooser, when appying theme ignore message about missing assets and choose "Apply anyway"

REMEMBER: Theme will work correcly ONLY when You choose System theme in ThemeChooser menu.

You need to replace following files from zip package:

- Camera.apk
- DownloadProvider.apk
- Phone.apk

For all guys which have problem with restarts and hang ups.

Please don't forget to apply attributes to Phone.apk file, because phone will not work!

chmod 755 /system/app/Phone.apk

Ravencz · Oct 28, 2010

So.. This works good on Mini Pro, too? With the apps?
Oh and attached my backup from X10 mini pro including original framework-res

Which apps are u refering too.the apps in the 1st post work however to make your call slider white instead of blue you will have to download the zip file from the old thread originaly posted by pulloff and the zip file is posted by draco thanks to both.

Does any have the original phone apk. For x10 mini pro can you upload it.
Thanks

Right.. I'm refering to the apps with changed icons. I'm not sure if there's any difference between Mini and Mini Pro versions of this apk's and I don't wan't to "brick" and recover my phone for the 5th time

I've included the original files to my previous post.

Thanks for the back up are they the original files. For mini pro and are they from the latest firmware.

There is a discussion on pulloff thread about htc icons they work on mini with the latest firmware not sure if they work on pro.

hypersnap · Oct 28, 2010

When i open CMD and write adb shell --> i get $
then i write su, but i get permission denied?

I need the # right?

And when i do have the #, will i just copy the 40 lines from here, and then its on the phone?

adamo86 · Oct 28, 2010

1.2.A.1.174
That's the latest firmware

The files are straight from my X10 mini pro running 1.2.A.1.174 build
That's what I'm asking. I'd love to use the theme and have it fully black, but I don't want to mess with the funcionality of the apps, if they're different.
Oh well.. I guess I can always download the modified files, extract the assets and do the modification on my own.

Thanks a lot for the files .
I used root explorer.
Easiest way.

Make sure u have rooted your device and have super user installed.
U need root explorer or any explorer which allows you to r/w files.

This is the istructions.
Do it one by one if your scared.
Make sure you mount to r/w and also keep an eye on 1ow icon since it changes back to r/o. When browsing certain folders.

Copy framwork to sytem and set the permission,then move to framworw folders .
Copy the other apk files to sytem and set permission,then move to apps folder.

How to set permission
Hold on to the file e.g framework a list of option will pop up scroll to permission and tick the 1st two boxes on the first line and the 2nd and 3rd line tick the 1st box only ,then un tick any other box which I havnt mentioned.
Then reboot your phone.
Good lick

Don't use root explorer method for htc icon it dosent work.

You need to Accept superuser permissions in Your phone. Until application won't have it You will receive "Permission denied" message.

For second question - You need to input them one by one.
