If i flash another theme will it delete my old theme?
I have a similar question that I hope someone can help me with.
I installed a theme which I no longer like. I prefer to use the stock Cyanogen theme. I have upgraded to Cyanogen 4.2.6 and the theme is no longer there however icons from the theme are still on my phone. I have done a wipe and it still did not help. How do I restore the Cyanogen icons?

did you wipe your ext partition? i am guessing, no. boot into recovery, wipe your phone, wipe your ext partition, apply the recovery image that cyanogen gives you BEFORE YOU APPLY THE ROM. THEN ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THAT RECOVERY IMAGE, FLASH THE ROM.

come on man, common sense.
OF COURSE IT WILL.
if its the google apps...just flash my template to revert
I successfully installed the blue haze them for my myTouch. I am running the current cyanogen mod for it. That all worked great, but when I try to install any other theme, I get stuck at boot screen.
I tried the District 9 theme, the clone theme and a couple others.
Am I missing something? I'd feel a lot better if the first theme hadn't worked but it did and now.....GRRRR
Help?
it happens to me too but i dont know why. there are themes who works good and others not.
for example, install a theme and connect your phone to pc, do 'adb logcat ' it will show you all the steps that phone do!!
there are themes that (on my phone) goes on loop at 23% of something, others that launcher give problems and you will see all black!! (except for lockscreen).
if you want to be sure how to install a themes do this passage:
reboot to recovery
install the rom
reboot
watch if the rom works good (it should)
reboot again to recovery
flash the theme
reboot
do adb logcat

That's the best advice. And it's best to flash a theme unto a fresh unthemed rom, rather than a themed one. Less probability of having problems. Hope that helps!
so lets say I'm using cyanogen 4.2.15.1
I would wipe, install cyanogen, reboot, install theme, reboot?
Are there some themes that won't work on cyanogen that will on regular donut?
What about the theme CM theme updater? I can't get that to find any new themes.

Yes, the process you described is exactly right.
Yes, there are themes that will work on standard 1.6 that wont work on CM because CM contains LOTS of stuff from eclair.
CM theme updater requires a json to be input to search for updates for specific themes. it's not automatic.
ok thanks. I found that I needed to revert back to an older CM version to get that district 9 working. Its working like a champ now.
So there is no way to change the theme (when using cyanogen) without doing a wipe?
Sorry for being a noob!
no, you can definitely change themes without wiping. however, it does cause problems from time to time. I highly recommend metamorph for just this process.

Why is that download so damn slow?
Mediafire is a real good Hoster to download directly to my cellphone, but for now, it downloads only with 5kb/s . Just boring :S
I hope this Version works for me, until it's down in 6 Minutes^^
EDIT: Does not work :/

are u running 2.2+ android ?
honestly I'm running CM6.1 final with 2708 kernel/hack
I never tried installing manually and created the flashable update and it worked like a charm on CM6.1 Final 2708
It simply replace Vending.apk to the newest version and chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk also...
You do need a recovery that accept test-keys AKA rooted & unlocked BUT why aren't rooted yet ?
Thank you
This looks great. No problems I just flashed and it works great!
I got this to work by going into "Titanium Backup" and on the MARKET app, chose the wipe data button, then un-installed the old version of "Market".
Then I rebooted and ran the update.zip and it worked!
Hope this works for you!

I did even release a 2.3 sdk port to G1 since so much ppl were kindly asking for it
Nothing worth a mention IMO lol
I'm gonna give a few of my spare time to G1 dev <3 paste your adb logcat on pastebin so I can check
That would really help

Thanks for your input, update wanted ?
It could delete more & do it all, just being safe here...
I can't test on so many android devices atm !
95 downloads so far since a few hours not all bad it works !
ok it didnt work for me...im using mytouch 3g...it flashed but the market says loading then goes white...i didnt nand (noob move) but i know froyo will just reinstall all the apps but i dont feel like going through all that.
does anyone have a flashable version of the froyo market so i wont have to wipe? thanx in advance
I'm wondering how to flash this onto a phone o.o
I'm new to the flashing, rooting etc stuff ><
Edit : Continued searching and found out it has to do with recovery mode. Just cant figure out how to switch to recovery on galaxy 3
Did a nand backup, flashed the zip, rebooted, FC on Market before even launching, launched Market and a white screen. Restored from nand to get back up. Running OTA 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620)
Any ideas? Manual installation via ADB?
To save you the trouble of putting the adb method , you can refer to my post .
It does the same thing but manually and its working for sure (Eclairs and Froyo ) : )

Cheers !
I just got this OTA update for market. I just backed up my old market, then installed this from the SD like a regular app. I didn't have any problems or need special permissions. Maybe someone could try this if they're having problems with the flashable or adb.
Two threads?
Ok so someone else started a thread for this in the development section which I thought to be weird, just wanted you to know, here is the thread. Personally I would rather just have one, yours : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872526

did exactly what he did here, nd works like a charm
is this flashable to sd card? I have cyanogen 6.1.0 android 2.2(froyo). Its probably a dumb question. But I'm asking this because theres another thread which indicated on his post that he didn't make his flashable. And its similar to this except that one runs on adb. So I'm wondering if this is flashable?

same rom..same problem
even doing adb doesnt work
Okay. So i have my g1 rooted. With froyo 2.2 cyanogen 6.1 ROM. As you may know, it doesn't come with google apps. So market isn't available. I've been looking all over the web. Trying each and everyone's market.apk and market.zip . All doesn't work. I tried normal install from a file manager. Nothing. Tried adb process. Pushing it. Still not working. Tried android command, still not working. And finally, your file, which i flashed. Still didn't work. All of them I got the same. When I open market, I just get a white blank, then after 5 seconds, goes back to the desktop screen. Any ideas to help me? Would really appreciate it.
Or I was thinking of doing this. Reflash the stock android 1.6 with root and then try the market. If it works, use nandroid back up. And then flash cyanogen 6.0 froyo 2.2 and restore the backup that i made with the market. DO you think that will work?
succesfully installed on my g1 cynogenmod but the market get fc when i try to download

Have you installed the google apps package after flashing cyanogen rom ?

Just wanted to post, thank you. Running SS4.9 on a droid, was having problems getting this app to work until your post. Downloaded and renamed to update.zip and so far is working like a charm.
Thank you very much.
Hey everyonee
im having seriouse trouble with my SanFrancisco phone from orange ( Zte Blade )
iv successfully rooted my phone and have clockworkrecoveryMod Working fab
but i have a couple of problems, i recently upgraded to froyo (android 2.2) using this page: Orange San Francisco phone handset – How to unlock, root and upgrade Android 2.1 to 2.2 FroYo The IT Bod
i have done this correctly and im happy with the result, (apart from all my data been lost, but i dont mind as long as i have froyo
but heres the problem,
I realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like this theme
Minimal Matte 1.5 CM6 Full Rom! 8/7 - xda-developers
http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matte.png
so iv saved the theme as update.zip and put it in the root of my phone,
then i opend clockwork and selected the theme correctly, and installation was succesfull,
but when i boot up again after the installation the android startup screen is stuck,
and also, using this new froyo, i cant seem to download and install apps of the market?
anyone helpp plzzz )))))))))
Just do these commands, you need to reflash your froyo rom, but your data is lost i think. Open your recovery and make:
1. Full wipe
2. wipe cache
3. wipe SD:ext
3. Flash your froyo rom, than reboot and you get back the original froyo.
Don't forget: every rom has a special theme for itself, you can't flash every theme with every rom. If you want an alternative read about metamorph.
is that rom even for your phone? Use the theme porter to inject the theme into your rom.

hmm, im not too keen on wiping all the data again :/
the phone originally came with android 2.1 but you can root and update it to 2.2, is it possible that the rom i installed just doesnt support the themes? do i need to install a patch? im not even sure i backed up correctly, even thought in the rom manager i clicked backup" it didnt really do anything, this idea of injecting sounds good, but wouldnt the same problem occur?
thanks for replying

nah nothing wrong happens when you port the theme to the rom you are using. i've ported like 5-6 themes already.
iv been using clockworkrecoverymod to install the themes under update.zip
but theres also the problem with the market, iv done alot of searching to find out y the apps wont install of the market, any ideas? thx
im gradually thinking it would be best to start clean, and if i were to start again how would i install 2.2 android onto a zte blade without hacking it?
thnx alot ;D
I recently rooted my fascinate, installed Super Clean v0.9 and the StupidFast v1.54 kernel. Now how do I go about installing a new theme? When I try to download themes from ROM Manager I get "error occurred while processing this ROM". What am I doing wrong? I see these screenshots on the forums of the awsome themes but I don't know how to get them. I've tried reinstalling ROM Manager but no luck. Thanks in advance.
BTW, my phone is running great with this set-up. Fast. 14-hour battery. No lag.

well, the good news: the hard part is over! Certain themes are only compatible with certain ROMS, so start by typing the name of your ROM followed by themes and see what you get. Probably a list on droid forums, usually.
Then it's as easy as downloading the .zip onto your computer, putting in the root of your sd card, reboot phone into recovery, mount SD card, install from .zip, look for the .zip on the list, and install. Obviously don't wipe any data.
