Un-Metamorphing!

I used some metamorph themes and now I just want to go back to the default one that came with the phone. can some one PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make me a metamorph file that will do this? I'm getting really desperate and even did a factory reset, which did nothing except delete everything off my phone (i got it all back with my nandroid back up)... I really appreciate any help at all.
P.S. I'm VERY new so if you're going to give me advanced instructions please dumb em down a little bit thanks!

Basically, you should have nandroid(ed) before you metamorphed. Reversing would be doable by restoring that backup.
If you didn't, you could analyse what the metamorph packages you applied change and pinpoint them on your nandroid backup or original rom .zip, extract and make some reverse morphs...but I guess you don't know how to that judging by the thread.

What i've done in the past is just re-apply what ever rom ur using ex:cyanogen 4.2.14.1 over 4.2.14.1. That would revert everything without deleting your apps and settings.

I did the nandroid backup bt replaced it with a newer one so I wouldn't lose data which incidentally had a metamorph applied. And why would you suggest something and then just say oh i see you dont know how...
Sorry to sound snippy but people keep running me into dead ends. Thanks for the limited information you provided.

thanks I'll give that a try

shanicenicolle when you apply a new them rename your old nandroid before making a new one. Then when you want to go back just rename it to the right name and use it.

It's just easier than that:
Install the ROM again, thats it.
No wipe, no installing from some stuff.
Just install your romfile again and then you've stock rom. Takes only 5 Minutes...

I agree with Formel-LMS. That is the easiest way, it worked for me, but I nandroid everytime time that I settle with my rom with theme. Nandroid will set u back with every last pixel u had previously.
Good luck

Update.zip for . 340 Kernel, Radio Image, Bootloader, and System!

Hey all, Team Black Hat have released a series of update.zip’s that will allow you to easily flash the newest kernel, radio, system, and bootloader. Thought some might wanna download ASAP in case they get pulled.
Article About it here:

Direct link To Team Black Hat Thread and Downloads:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
Cheers! And all credit and thanks foes to Team Black Hat!

If I flash the system.zip from recovery will it take me from Tranquility 3.6 back to stock? What's the best way to go from Tranq back to stock? Thanks.

Flashing the kernel and radio as I type.

aaaaand SBF time lol.

Sorry.. just trying to understand...
I have downloaded these 4 files. Now I go to Bootstrap/Recovery and use the Update.zip option for these files one at a time? (in a particular order?) OR do I re-name them update.zip one at a time?
Secondly, I have ApeX 1.2.1 installed... it's working with .320 and I wonder if it will work with the new files?
Any advice on these 2 things. (please)
Thanks.

To answer your first question, we don't need to rename them. We can got o bootstrap and update them one by one. I don't think there's a particular order, however, I do think that we can only do one at a time (install one and then reboot)
I'm not sure about coming from Apex, i'm personally coming from Fission 2.3.1, and I am a little scared to do these....

Yeah no renaming is needed.
I am on fission 2.3.1 as well, flashed the Kernel, Bootloader, and Radio Image all one after another while in clockworkmod recovery, and had 0 issues.
U will have to *228 again after radio, but other than that u its fine.

So I just got a question..is this the file that is downloaded ota or put together by these guys? I only ask cause trying to understand why we can't just throw in our own stuff in this update.zip and resign it..but I am sure there is some kind of keys we will be missing

Did the 2.3.340 SBF also update the radio or should I use the .zip to update that?

Lol, if only it were that simple, unfortunately we can't because of the bootloader being locked, it wont pass security, so we can only modify or use their kernels.

If u did the .340 sbf u should be all up to date, this is more for .320 users and such. U can double check ur kernel, radio version in about phone though as well.

ive recently upgraded from my Eris to an X so im having a hard time understanding all of what i need to do, ive downloaded these files and saved them cuz im sure ill need them as soon as i learn everything can anyone point me to a cut and dry tutorial or some kind of explanation? thanks!!!!! loving the x already
edit: i am searching while im waiting for an answer, my bootloader says 30.04 but i dont understand the whole sbf stuff and i can get into clockworkmod recovery im not completely helpless just a little lost after playing with my eris so much.

Confused
I downloaded each file then rebooted into recovery. I installed each file one by one. I reboot system out of recovery and I get a black screen that says:
Bootloader
30.04
Err: A5, 70, 39, 00, 27
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB

btw as far as i can see by the numbers my version is the .340 and the 1.09.07P baseband....i updated mine yesterday

The .340 sbf is system only so no he wouldn't be up to date. His system would but not anything else. Still have to apply the patches if you want to be 100% up to date with everything.

[REQ] Serendipity

Hey guys, I put a honeycomb theme on my phone before realizing how much stuff I would have to do to make it look good. I decided to go back to the stock serendipity, only to find that it wasnt quite all there [lock screens, act stayed with the theme]. I was wondering if anyone has or could make a stock serendipity theme so people could simply flash that if they dont like they're changed them, or just wanted to go back. I ended up just reflashing the whole rom, and I know there is a better way. Thanks in advance!

+1 for directions, I had to re-flash a few days ago, and i couldn't find anything on how to backup / restore the stock Serendipity "theme"

I'm thinking you dl the full rom. open with winrar. take out the mentioned files and then do an adb push command to your phone.

Look inside the .zip theme that you flashed.
Whatever's in there, copy over the corresponding Serendipity files, and flash.

my phone can not be detected by computer anymore after flashing this !!!!! help pls

[Q] Icons

Hi,
This might be a very easy thing but i have a nexus one, running stock gingerbread 2.3.4 and it is rooted, i want to change the icons on the phone, like the ones which show battery, 3G, signal strength, etc.
If i can get icons and what do i use to instal it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok well I did a bit of looking around and I found this thread that says that they are saved in framework-res.apk but the directory isn't right because it's a different phone so I took the liberty of looking for it and it's in /system/framework/framework-res.apk so just remove the file get a file from a ROM that you like and swap them (just make sure the names match).

Oh awesome, will try that and hopefully will work, will let you know how it goes. Thanks

Make sure you make a backup, you will probably get a boot loop at best if you just replace the file. It would be easier if you just installed cm7 and used the theme engine.

[ROM][WIP] Flashable Stock HTC 626s Debloated 2.27.651.6 (Sprint/VM/Boost) (9-2-16)

Info:
This is a custom stock rom that is only for sprint devices (Sprint/Vm/Boost). It was made using SuperR's Kitchen. It is rooted and I tried to removed as much as I could. This is just a work in progress so there will probably be more that I will remove and will replace some of the apps with updated and better versions based on user input. Also included for those that wish to make their own rom is an decrypted rooted stock. I have tested these extensively, but as always make a full backup before flashing and do a full wipe just in case. I am not responsible for any damages or loss of data that may occur from flashing these roms.

Let me know if there are any problems/request you have I'll try to do my best to fix them as quickly as possible.
I would like to thank @Captain_Throwback for all of his help in making this rom.
*updated links 9-2-16

Nice! I'm downloading now. Thanks for putting in the time. Can't wait to check it out.

Let me know how it goes. I still have some work to do on it. Wasn't really sure what some of the files were. I'll be running more test to see what else I can remove and still have it boot. Wan't to get this as small as possible. If I removed anything that breaks something important let me know. As I said I'm not a dev and this is my first attempt.

No doubt. I have no problem putting it through the wringer. I'll let you know if I find anything, as well as any fixes that may work. I'm stoked to get back to my 626 and get to flashing!

I'll keep an eye on this. Just got the phone in the mail and noticed the extreme amounts of bloatware. Can't wait to root Dx.

Everything seems to be functioning correctly so far. Nice, lite and responsive. Flashed well, maybe 3 minutes total to complete. Boot up took even less. As of this post, no FC's or hangups found.
Solid rom! Thanks again!

Finally a rom for the sprint variants! I'll be giving this a try, downloading now. I hope it solves the low memory problems....

Removed most of the apps that were causing problems. Have another version that I am currently working on that will have the updates included and a few more apps removed. Only problem is this phone is very hard to make flashable roms for. Most attempts end with a boot loop. Still not giving up though.

A few things I have noticed: first is the HTC Account apk was missing so I couldn't sign in to install themes. I fixed that by downloading it from Google Play and making it a system app using rom toolbox pro.
Secondly I'm not sure if our phone has a magnetometer (compass) I would think it would have one. But it's not working.
Other than those 2 issues, this is a solid rom. Good job man. Keep up the good work.
I'm trying to get viper4Android to work but it keeps telling me my busybox installation is broken which it isn't.
Might wanna see if you can include busybox in future updates. Just a suggestion.

Oops, sorry noob here, got the 626s desire but connected to the bell network. if this is a sprint rom i guess i got to go back to rooted stock? The rom boots but hangs at activation. am i correct?

Unfortunately until someone comes up with a rom for your variant, you'll have to go back to your original rom. I hope you made a backup before you installed this rom.

I have the boost mobile variant and I still can't get twrp to work only Cyan recovery anyone know anything about getting two to work I used captainthrowback

Maybe I should learn how to read better. Is new so started off the bat with nothing on it so no backup I did with it. Worst case is I'm screwed lol.

You might not be screwed. Try searching the HTC website for an Ruu for your carrier. Once you find it lock your bootloader, then let it run its magic. Should return you back to stock.
@Sinister Drake I removed a lot of HTC stuff as I didn't think most people use it. If I do remove something you really need and can't find let me know and I'll re-add it.
As for busybox it does come pre-installed. Why some apps find it and others do not I can't really say. Doing a busybox check does show it's there.
Now as for the compass that is a issue that worries me. All my research says this phone has one, but it doesn't work even on my recovery. I need to know if it was something that worked on stock or if it was just false reporting by HTC, so I can narrow down the problem. It shouldn't be a problem with my rom as it is taken directly from the RUU, but I cannot be for certain until I get more feedback.

You know I screwed myself and went to quick because I had it rooted with twrp and oh look debloated firmware without paying attention to the Carrier, Doh! You know what silly, I called HTC Canada because bell is a Canadian outfit and they apparently don't supply ruu's like the states does. Oh well my bad 200 smackers later and a new phone. I guess on the bright side I can root it lol. Maybe one of the excellent developers will somehow create a bell version.

New version = https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzHOZHL6ZwXhRWxZNG4zc3lDSWc Removed an extra 200mb now total over 600mb freed. Also, updated the OP with the list of apps that have been remove. As always if I removed something you want and can't find let me know I will add it back in. Been using this version for a few days and found no errors, but make a backup just in case. Report any error you find I'll do my best to fix them.
Working on updating the apps to free up even more space. After that I'll be replacing some apps with lighter versions. Once I get any significant build I'll post it.
@kindlefire39 hopefully you can find someone else that has this phone in your region to make a backup for you. Once you get that you can easily use suprr kitchen to make a debloated version.

Is it possible to backup my new phone and use super kitchen? Or am I out in left field? I could be the first one with a bell mobility variant.

Once you flash a rom it overwrites the one you currently have installed. That is why it is good to make a backup before you flash. Out of curiosity have you tried to flash Captain_Throwback's rom? Its for metropcs but if you can get your phone to boot you can call your phone company tell them your phone is on a different carrier and you need the codes for the phone to work on their network. If you do get it to boot some things might not work, like the wifi, but it can get you through until you can get a proper rom/backup. Try posting in the help section asking for someone to make a backup of their phone. Heck even try asking anyone you know that has the same phone if you can borrow it for a bit to fix yours.

When I installed the rom I did not see Busybox, I installed it from google play. I'm still trying to figure out how to get viper4android to work to no avail. Maybe you can add it as a system app with the rom. With that being said, I've learned that another thing you have to do to get it to work is to use the selinux changer. with a quick google search you can find it elsewhere to download since it is not availble on google play anymore.
I do have to give you props though man, you're doing a fantastic job developing this rom whilst not being a developer. Kudos to you brother.
---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
Is it possible that you could provide the apk for the HTC clock widget? I really dig the flip clock style. I can install it myself, I just dont have the apk for it

Sorry what I meant is I got a second phone because HTC Canada couldn't help. I just bit the bullet. So with the new phone can I make a stock backup or through twrp than backup? If I have a stock backup, than I could custom it and delete apps that you did for yours in your list.
