If it is would someone be able to walk me through the installation. I am confused as hell!

I may be wrong but, I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted and running a deodexd rom to flash a theme.

You will need to be rooted and also you will need to flash cm7 for that theme to work.

That's what I suggested. You also suggested the added step of unrooting and rooting again though I think that's completely unnecessary and would be a huge PITB just to get the calendar back. There's no need to throw unrooting into the mix. He should just flash the (rooted) stock ROM.

Actually he didn't mention if he flashed a custom recovery or not so he might have to run RUU if he can't flash the stock ROM. I didn't think about that.

You can't just install calendar.apk because its a system app.
You would have to push it to /system/app then run fix permissions.
Flashing the stock ROM through recovery would be easiest.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Assuming it's a sense rom, I would just download any sense rom, then push it via adb to the /system/app folder, chmod 0744 {filename.ext}. Done.
If it's AOSP, then same instructions, but grab an AOSP rom.
I would just reflash the rom you flashed originally. Wipe Dalvik/Cache and you should be good to go.

Ok, it's been a while since I rooted, but, when I did you had some form of a development rom and had to flash a different one right away. There were several "stock roms" to choose from.
It may be different now, so maybe I'm wrong. If so, get over it.

Umm no if he was rooted properly. Not boot by bout basis. You are OK. Your S-Off. Just would need to put latest Amon RA recovery named PC36IMG.ZIP in root of sdcard. Then let hboot flash it. Then flash rom like normal. Works that what I did

You can if you did a nandroid backup before flashing. Just restore.

i never have full root on my phone before the update...i used the temp root process...before i took the OTA update, i rebooted my phone so the temp root was gone and thats when i updated...not knowing that i wouldnt be able to temp root or permenantly root after taking the update...if i would have known...i wouldnt have updated
I would say give it a few days. I'm pretty sure someone will have EVO rooting again. Next time I would recommend unrevoked 3/forever.
WWW.unrevoked.com
It is so easy & fast. Root in 5min or less. Still able to unroot later if wanted/needed.

Worth a try, but I would definitely do a google search and have several RUUs on hand to try in case you get an error (i.e. attempting to load software older than original) with the first one.

[Q] Will 2.3.4 OTA break S-Off?

After searching the forum and reading many posts, it still is not clear to me if the 2.3.4 OTA (I'm being prompted for 4.06) will break S-Off.
When I rooted my Incredible using Unrevoked3, the custom recovery wasn't out yet or otherwise wasn't included. I believe that I am still running stock recovery (haven't flashed any ROMs).
If I do this update will I lose S-Off or lose root?
I know this topic seems redundant, but I haven't read a clear answer.
Thanks.
I'm wondering the same thing.
I just got the last issue on skyraider 4.3 working again, and I don't really want to start over.

What if your phone is only rooted? If you update will you lose root? I don't actually own a dinc but my friends wife keeps asking me if she should update and if she will lose root if she does. Also if she has to reroot after the update do you know of any issues doing so?
I'm having enough issues trying to get everything working with rooting my htc vivid
Thanks for any help.

If the OTA actually can be accepted with your custom recovery (debatable), you would lose root IMO. I think what Stang means is that if you're s-off, you can reflash clockwork and superuser, and reaquire root easily. So it doesn't break your ability to root again.

You will brick your phone most likely. If you have a rooted phone, and you want the new OTA you shou8ld wait for a dev to include it in their latest rom. The most recent ota, from what I understand is a connection manager and the only usefull feature it turning off soe radios. There are already several good apps out there that do that for people, so imo you don't need the newest ota.

This probably depends on how one rooted. I rooted mine on froyo just before the GB update with Unrevoked Forever and I've run every OTA since then. Just have to reflash recovery and superuser afterwards.

[Q] New to the Inc2

Hey everyone, just got a Inc2 as a replacement for a Droid X2, could someone point me in the right direction to get me started? I would like to eventually be on an ICS build if there is a semi-stable version out there. Thanks alot!
Welcome to the Dinc 2! Well first of all if you want to root and all that jazz you should follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726134 if you're on the new 6.01.605.05 software. As far as ICS roms go, I would personally recommend Nitsuj's UKB V rom, it's ICS with sense 4a and it is probably one o the most popular if not the most popular rom for the Dinc 2 right now. If you want AOSP ICS I recommend Aeroevan's CM9, it is fairly stable. Another recent rom that I recommend is Paranoid Android, the tweaks for it are amazing and almost everything is working fairly well! I hope you enjoy your Dinc 2!

Also there are lots of super stable gingerbread ROMs. Plenty of options to over clock and under volt.
Have fun with the phone!

Ok so just making sure the process goes: Downgrade for S-OFF, root, install cwm, and flash custom rom?
Coming from a locked device to this is a whole new world haha

After you gain S-OFF you can flash CWM and then flash the superuser zip to gain root. It should all be together in the s-off thread. You can also use 4 ext recovery, it's a touch recovery and it's been working great for me. Oh, and before you install a rom make sure YOU MAKE A NANDROID. If something goes wrong you can go back to a working phone. Feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions or just post them here. Good luck and enjoy!

Read as much as possible on your new firmware and s-off. A lot of people are having issues with bootloops with sense roms after s off with the new firmware.

Ok already running into a problem
f. Place the misc_version and tacoroot.sh into your /Android/android-sdk/Platform-tools folder. (platform-tools may also just be named platform, depends on which sdk version you have)
g. Place the RUU_Vivo.....zip folder in the /Android/android-sdk/tools folder. (Leave it as a .zip file, do NOT extract the contents to the tools folder)
For the life of me, i cant find this folder...
I did not have to use the taco part. But youtube has good videos on the revolutionary part that helped me allot with the adb commands.
Have you achieved S-OFF?

No, I gave up for now. I still need to figure out why the folders in my above post are not there when I try to find them.

Actually, you are supposed to create that folder as a space to work from on your pc. That's where you unzip all the scripts to that you call from cmd.
Well, that's what it looks like to me, anyway. I didn't have to downgrade from the most recent version.

Hey everyone, just got a Inc2 as a replacement for a Droid X2, could someone point me in the right direction to get me started? I would like to eventually be on an ICS build if there is a semi-stable version out there. Thanks alot!
