I ran into a bit of difficulty getting the DDMS (Dalvik Debug Monitor Service) tool running in Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit, but post #2 on this thread helped. To summarize:

  1. Use the package manager of your choice to install ia32-sun-java6-bin.
  2. Download the Android SDK for Linux, then extract the zip file.
  3. In the SDK tools folder, open up the ddms file in your favorite text editor.
  4. Modify line #72 to the following: java_cmd=”/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/bin/java”

As you can see, I’m running a clone of the theme on HTC’s Hero Android phone. This theme can be downloaded here. All the install took was downloading the theme, putting it on my phone’s SD card as update.zip, booting into recovery mode and flashing the update. Of course, you’ll need a rooted G1 for this to work. I’m running JesusFreke’s wonderful 1.5 build. Read this guide for instructions for rooting your G1.
