How do i remove a theme i dislike or if i want to change it? do i flash/metamorph over it or do i have to go back to the nandroid backup an jus install fresh?
I think most people me included just restore. Don't think you can flash over it.
you should be able to flash the new theme right over it. I don't mess around with themes too much other than turning the notification bar black and I've flashed over the notification bar numerous times in a row before i found the one that i liked best with out having to do do a nandroid restore
Oh ok thanks guys

Right now I'm using Baked Snack 1.75 and manup's theme which I spent several hours fine tuning to my liking. If I were to try out another ROM and later restored a backup of this current setup, would it revert to the customized theme I now have or would I have to reflash the theme onto Baked Snack and tweak it once again?
Also, at this point do I need to keep the zip file of the theme on my card or can I delete it? And I assume that depends on the answer to the question in my first paragraph.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Didn't realize I posted in a Nexus One thread since I did a search for themes but the answers should be the same for my EVO.

BLACK HOLE
This is my latest theme for the Epic, and will most probably be the last before Froyo is out. I'm not sure the framework changes in Froyo, but I assume it will be no trouble to port all of my themes over to Froyo after the release. I hope you enjoy!

lookin good! only thing i would say is package a different wall paper in the mix. the dark blue icons dont play well with dark wallpapers. i would also say whip up a dock to match and youve got it!
Doc bar is in the works. So are plenty more extras.

do you know how the battery life on a stock deodexed di18 is compared to a custom deodexed rom. I really want to flash your theme. Also, does crake001 for the battery percentage mod work with stock deodexed and your theme?
i'm new to the android world but was successful with changing themes on my iphone. please help me by giving me step by step on how to apply this theme. i already downloaded to my samsung epic but is stuck there.
g.salas
I haven't played around with too many roms to compare battery life. I carry two batteries and don't really worry about it. I didn't do the battery in percentages on this one. It is on the list for the future. Right this second I'm using a blue battery widget. Flashing my theme over crake's battery percentage will erase his mod, but it might be possible to copy my framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. I'm not sure though. Keep checking back and the percentage mod will end up on here.

Alright, first you need to download the one click root method and one click clockworkmod recovery if you haven't done that yet. The next step is you need to choose a rom that is deodexed, or download the stock di18 deodexed rom and flash the zip in clockworkmod recovery. You cannot theme the stock rom that comes on your phone, it must be deodexed so you don't run into force closed issues. Once your rom is booted and running, just boot back into recovery and apply blackhole.zip. That isn't the basic as the instructions get if you need more help, pm me and I'll go into further detail, as well as provide you with links to everything you need. Everything you need is available here at xda. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

having some trouble with this theme i have tried it on the galaxy rom by noobnl and the epic experience and on both right after i flash it the browser,contacts,and messaging icons disappear.
Sorry to hear that! I haven't tested either of these roms with the theme. The only rom I ever themed besides stock di18 deodexed was andromeda. I'll contact a few people and find out if there is something I can change in the theme to fix this. I'll pm you with anything I find out and update the OP to let others know. Once again, sorry about that! I believe when apps dissappear like that it has something to do with noticing a change in the md5sum. So I'm guessing that I'll have to sign those apps individually to fix but I'll wait for some confirmation before having you flash a mistake again.

I found the root of the problem dealing with the theme erasing half the system apps out of the phone on flash. I re-worked the apps and just successfully flashed over Frontier GS 3.0 rom, but I know it will work finally because I had the aosp magic rom and my theme deleted all the apps on there as well. It was because I was still theming apps from the dg07 build instead of using the ones from di18. Since I was using stock di18 deodexed, for some reason the apps still took but when I flashed any rom at XDA, the results were bad. I will update the OP and post as soon as I post the fix. Sorry for any inconvenience anyone has suffered.
Theme is fixed, link is updated enjoy!
Theme update! I have been real busy but haven't stopped working on the theme. The dialer colors will be adjust next!
Included now is a fix for the power control widget where you can actually see the buttons. Also the camera is themed now, here are some pics:
**Notice in the pictures the button to switch from camera to camcorder is lighter than the rest, that was fixed before upload, they should all be the same.
Also I themed Tapatalk pro on my phone. Since so many people use it, I'll help anyone who wants their version to match. I'll supply the drawable-hdpi folder and show you how to copy it in.
wow awesome work! Where is that power control widget? does it live in another apk?
edit: I think I just found it in the settings.apk (?)
Yeah settings.apk, just pull out the pngs for the widget or you'll get the other colors as well

Stock DI18 Theme Template for the Samsung Epic 4g
This is for the themers to work from as a base and for those who wish to theme the stock DI18 rom on the Epic without having to install a deodexed rom.
Credit goes out to Raiderep and Crake for getting the ball rolling, and DearmasFamily for altering the code to make it work correctly. Thanks D, hope you guys enjoy.
This file deletes all the *.odex in system and framework, while installing stock files that have been deodexed and zipaligned. Should run very efficient! Hope you guys enjoy!
Flash in clockworkmod recovery right over the stock rom.
Download:

Should be updating tomorrow with even more optimized stock files.
Just updated link, found 2 media hubs on my phone.
I made a deodexed stock DI18 ROM already a few weeks back for this purpose.

This isn't actually the same thing. For the average user to get their stock rom fully deodexed, you are correct. They can run your update zip, then place a theme on top of it. But for the themers, who are testing multiple themes, or the users who use more than one theme and switch back and forth, there is a huge difference. Let me give you an example. If I'm testing out my mayan theme and I want to flash the black hole. Lets say the mayan theme has the fonts changed and black hole doesn't (not true, just for sake of argument). I flash my theme template to reset the font and then I flash the black hole or have the font from the mayan theme bleed through to the black hole. At this point I'm not going to flash back to a entire stock theme and loose all my settings, I'm just going to flash the theme template to reset the framework files to stock. All settings, including your launcher, phone apps, etc will remain exactly as is when switching themes.
Updated. I was told by Zienzu that there is an issue with the Media Hub not recognizing file formats. I replaced the Media Hub and its services so they should be just fine now. If the problem persists, please notify me.
Looks like the first go round when I had 2 versions of the media hub in there, one was the fixed and one the broken. I deleted the fixed version out by mistake.

Lol this is not a theme, it deodexes the stock files on your phone from the phone. It has all the stock framework files sup you can flash this to wipe a theme off as well

Not quite the theme template for SyndicateRom has been tweaked to work without carrierIQ plus there are a few other changes in it like reboot option, 3 images for the GPS rather than 2. Sorry for the delay on answering this question. I'm going to work on a stock EB13 theme template.
I dont know if you've started already or given up already on the EB13, but I was wonder if you were working on an EC05 stock theme yet?
hi guys,hope someone can shed some light on what am about to ask.
i have just cooked up a rom on Doc's & Stefunel's ROM Kitchen,XWJS7_Wipe-v9_8_1, with most of all aps,all is working fine,plus installed 1 of Generation X Themes CY with boot,all good.
my question is,is there a way to put the 5 lock screens which i did have with darkys 9.3 final ?
if so how would some one like myself go about doing this,would it be a simple apk install for lock screens.
really sorry if this has been asked before,but could not find anything about it.plus i couldnt post in the dev part as not got over 10 posts
i dont like to spam and prefer to do some reading,which really does help.really starting to understand the android,first 1 loads of fun so far.plus a few tense moments aswell
thankyou for all the time you guys make the phone as cool as can be.
I'm pretty sure that's theme related. I guess if you changed your theme to the one from darky's rom you would get your 5 lockscreens back.
As to how: I have no Idea, there's probably a description in the design and themes section.
good luck
Download the Stockmod plus theme, it's basically just the lock screens and tyhe extended power menu, it works fine with docs rom, I'm running it myself.
edit. I just re-read your post and you already have a theme, this one woudl replace that.
I use it and just apply my own settings with launcherpro to make my dersktop look nice.
yeah theme is installed and i have 4 unlock screens,but would like to get that 5th 1,rotary i believe.
Small update to what i have tried to do.
1 found the keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock_land.xml in other themes.
2 copied them over to the Generation_X_v2.0CY_JPUXY_JS3_NOBOOT.zip
3 flashed in cwm but didnt work
never mind
You need to flash a theme which has it built in. I know black android does and it works great with a cooked rom.
Looks awesome too.
since I'm a bit of a themer and I did my custom theme by myself,

Hello Im a new member of XDA and currently reading a lot of threads in the forums and they are really helpful.
I have recently rooted and flashed Cm7 to my Nexus S to mess around with it and see if i like it or not.
I like the extra features but however i cannot stand the launcher UI. I dont mind thats its the stock look but the icons on the dock settings on CM7 is not my taste.
I came across the Matteblue Theme by jabbawalkee and its beautiful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848
However im not very experainced and i do not know how to apply this theme.
I have downloaded the icon pack and the fonts but i unzipped the icon pack but Launcher Pro or ADW launcher doesnt recognize it in my phones SD memory.
Can someone help me how to apply this theme and flash the fonts.
Also i love the look of the stock dock in jabbawalkee cm screent shots and i do realized its from cm6? is there anyway in cm7 to make it look like the stock dock?
Thank
just download the right version of the theme for cm7. go into recovery and flash (install zip from sd card) it on top of the ROM that u've flashed. Just reboot and it'll be done. U'll have the theme running on your phone.
I cant seem to find the downloads? Only the " Other Downloads" that contain the fonts and icon packs.
i think he must've removed the DL as he must be coming up with the new version. just post in that thread for the download link. someone will mirror it for you. i don't use cm7 so i don't have the theme otherwise i would've uploaded it for u. i have infinity version of the theme though, if you are interested in that?
I need a download link to matts blue. I will try out the infinity version also.

I dont think i will be flashing other roms any time soon but thanks for your help.
Is Infinity a better Rom?? Ive been reading and lot of people recomended CM7 and so far i like it, nice and stable and speedy.
I am trying to make this compatible for other devices as well now. I know for a fact it works on Darkys ROM for Captivate so I think it may work on other gingerbread versions/Roms for the captivate as well. It has also been confirmed to work on i9000 jvp, jvq, and jvr gingerbread versions.
Flash it in Recovery. Always Backup first incase it causes any issues.

If Apps force close restore your back up, go into the theme zip and remove the apps that had problems then reflash the theme.
I do not have a Captivate, I am just going by what my testers have told me. So if you try it let me know how it goes.
Flashed over the top of the latest build of Serendipity VII.
Stuck in a bit of a weird bootloop.
- Booted up with the SVII boot screen.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to what seemed to be the TouchWiz screen with a few icons.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to the GoLauncher screen I had, custom icons showed up.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
Keeps doing it endlessly so I am going to pop the battery out and try again.
Oh...When the screen does come up briefly I can see the theme's icons' in the status bar.
Restore ur backup. Then Go into the theme zip and delete settings and launcher apk. For some reason captivate doesn't like the sgs2 launcher. Then reflash it with those apk removed.

Are they gingerbread based? I dont have a captivate to test anything. But this theme might would work if they are gingerbread based.

you could install font changer donate version and install the font you want to use....not sure if it will work with the theme....but I use it for my Cappy on Mosaic VI and Laucher 7 Pro....I wanted the font from WP7 Segoe Light and was able to accompish that using Font Changer.

I removed the font from the .zip file and that worked.
Not sure if that was the best way, but appears to have worked
