when i go to veiw a picture(meaning im looking at the picture) it wont rotate. bkmo said the problem was the stericson lockscreen. because when he put back the stock lockscreen it rotated again. so i think the solution there. but since the viewing isnt that big of a deal to me, plus i love the stericson lockscreen, im gonna keep my lockscreen so this is more for people wondering about the same problem...
google apps and themes:
if you flash a theme that modifies the google apps, flashing 4.1.999(and up) wont restore the stock app. clearly its cause he doesnt have the copies of the apps in there anymore. how do you restore? im not sure. i flashed a theme that themed my market red and black, then flashed his rom, then another theme, but the market stayed the same. im guessing that flashing the htc recovery, then the rom, will probably restore the google apps to stock, but im not sure if it requires a wipe.
does it?
because if it does ill just keep the themed market. its not really a problem, im just a little annoyed since im not sure if this has any negative effects. can anyone help on this? i dont wanna try because if i need to wipe, i dont have time to set everything up again. and i dont want to find out i did need to wipe and end up with having to wipe anyway. plus someone told me its possible to lose root somehow, and i only have 1 phone. otherwise i'd try this out myself for you guys. please someone try, or give some professional input on this. thanks!
It seems as that everytime I install a theme, it boots up, goes to the theme splash screen, and then the screen goes black ( as in, it's backlight, but theres nothing on the screen )
I let it sit in this state for quite some time ( well over 15mins ) and to no avail. I made positive to wipe/restore ext/etc. when I flash over a new theme, but I get the same problems. When I nandroid back though, I have no problems what-so-ever.
Any ideas? Thanks!
which version of cyans rom are you running
4.2.3.1, the same version the themes were made for. I tried themes that said 4.3.2.1, but I was pretty sure they meant the other way around, or not, either way, I tried like 4, 3 with 4.2.3.1, and 1 with 4.3.2.1, they all did the same thing.
Thanks for the response

Do not flash a theme over Stericsons Lock screen, flash it after.
If you flash CM then a compatible theme right after that, it should always work.
I'm not using a theme that has stericsons lockscreen in it. I don't know why it's not working, I don't have anything extra installed on the rom. Thanks for the help!
Stericsons LS is the cause of a lot of problems. Flash cyans ROM again... run it, them download and flash a theme that does NOT have this LS. I think all of your issues will be okay then. M_blend is a great theme without the LS.
Stericson and Cyanogen I think are working to get the LS perfect, but right now... it's not.
^ what theme, or themes, have you tried flashing since installing the ROM?
Trying to reflash everything as I'm writing, I'll edit it with the results.
I've tried; M-blend ( that looked really awesome, ) Freaky blur, Femio, and lucky's turn.
All the newest versions.
Edit: I reflashed cyan, wiped, cleared ext, everything. Flashed M-blend, black screen still.
FML. v.v
Lol, thanks for the help those guys!
When you flashed cyans rom, did you reboot and run it, power down and then flash the theme?
if not, that could be your problem. You do need to run the ROM before flashing a theme.
Two things I know:
1 - nothing is wrong with the rom
2 - nothing is wrong with the theme.
Are you downloading these over wi-fi or 3G so you know you are getting good d/loads?
Of course, I know all about 'stirring the pot' so to speak
I tried it again, and now it's working like a dream... *Insert Flaming for horrid pun* Lol xD
Thanks for the help guys!
hi guys. im new to this forum and would like some help on how to change the status bar on my milestone(droid).. my phone is rooted and i have metamorph installed and am running android 2.1 stock.
When i apply a theme to other apks from metamorph everything is fine but when i try to apply it to the framework-res.apk my phone reboots and nothing is changed i also tried to use AndoidCommander to pull the framework-res.apk manually, change the images and put it back in but it doesnt change any help pls? Thanks
Wrong section, and try using the search function.
sorry which forum is it supposed to be in?
also i tried to search but nothing seemed to work
ok guys i managed to at least push the apk using the terminal app.. but everytime it reboots everything starts to force close and i have to reinstall the sbf using rsd lite... do you know what im doing wrong please?
Um well I don't bother with theming myself, but in the absence of any more helpful responses, if you're running a stock ROM I imagine it's odex'ed & you can't theme an odex'ed ROM. You could look into deodexing the ROM but aiui it's quite a bit of work. Probably easier to find a custom ROM you like, which isn't odex'ed & start from that. E&OE.
thanks for replying mate the problem is that the milestone cannot run custom ROMs due to a locked bootloader... the problem is that i can mod all the apks except the framework-res.apk, which when modified using the terminal app, makes all the applications force close..
EDIT: ok i tried to deodex the modified framework-res.apk and push it on the phone but still didn't work any help guys?
I have searched everywhere and tried everything to get Spare parts to work on stock froyo rom. I've extracted the .apk from other roms with no luck, then I figured I would extract the .apk from a froyo built rom, and that didn't work. All I want to do is customize my status (notification) bar. Does anyone know if this is even possible or is their a different program I can use? I used to have it on CM 5.0.7.1 and it worked great.
Thanks
Anyone? I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Can someone explain why the spare parts apk in CM 5.0.7.1 can change notification bar, but when you use the same apk on a different rom it installs and displays, but doesn't work. Does it have something to do with the framework?
Hi I recently installed froyo cream sandwich and it works super fast but the bug that had the non readable text on the notification bar was present. I downloaded the update that fixes this bug but I am stuck in boot loop and doesnt want to run the rom. The Dev clealy stated to load on top of rom but no luck as ive been stuck in boot loop for 45 mins now so if anyone can help id be really grateful thanks
never used the fix dorianx made, i always just flashed rom then changed the color in settings... i know it would be nice to just use a flashable .zip for the fix but being you are having issues just do it manually

Thanks for the reply if you dont mind can you tell me step by step exactly what you did to make it work? I too did the color modifications manually for the ICS look but my notificacions are still very dark and barely readable. I love this rom and dont want to have to swap it out for gingerbread again just because of a minor setback.
i dont recall the exact but something like settings>cm>interface>statusbar>choose color on options like clock and such, then you need to go another setting and change some more. not running a cm rom at the moment so i cant check. just dig all over the settings and youll find it im sure
