[HEEEELP!] Phone stuck at boot screen after installing theme

I have darkyy's ROM v9.2.
So I installed this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11168640
And now my phone is stuck at the first boot screen.
Of course I made a nand backup, and I restored. Same thing, nothing changed.
I'm not worried about my data, I have backups for everything. I just don't want to wipe and restore everything.
Is there anyway to JUST fix the booting?
this happened to me first time i flashed steel blue theme.
all i did was just pull the battery out and power it back on. simple really. might work for you.
I took the batttery out like a thousand times.
can you get recovery mode ?? just try flashing the theme again. if that fails. try flashing back to the theme you had before.
Download and recovery are working. The problem was that the phone couldn't get past the first boot screen.
I did install darkyy's again and thank god it didn't remove any data.
But I'm still wondering if it was possible to fix the problem without installing the whole ROM?
did you try flashing another theme you didnt quite specify ??
if that dont work looks like you will have to flash the rom again
I'm also have this problem! what could the cause of the problem ? application ?

It's the "framework.res" file wich is messed up. There is only one way out of this situation. Reflash with ODIN.

But why it's messed up? by an app ? i noticed that when i apply a theme just before restoring my apps the theme pass and is installed, after a restore, always failed ! can an app block the installation of a theme ?

It happens if you're in stock rom and install an Deodexed theme.

It usually happens if you make changes on the theme. For example on the battery icon or the lock screen. So the key is not change anything on your own if you want a custom theme and be sure that the rom you have is Deodexed. I think Zip-aligned also can make troubles. It's important that both rom and theme work together.

Strange. There must be something. I have tried it twice. The one time was because i have change the battery icon. The second was the lockscreen.
How do you restoring your apps?

Have you tried to restore app only without data? I know it is pain in the a** but it can be usefull.
I have also tried to flash fresh with ODIN, install the custom rom and the theme before restore og apps. I have done it with succes.

Volume boost?

Hi Folks.
I've been looking around for some time but didnt found it, so i'm asking
Is there is any way to boost up volume of conversation in sgs+ 2.3.6 stock rom?
I've allready set the volume to the max and its way to quiet for me
especailly when im in city traffic.. Any app or script for make it happen?
Cheers
I think the vitality kernel was able to boost the volume.

either way, editing something in system (requires root),and BOOM-there goes your warranty
did you try some volume+ apps in google play?(you will still have your warranty but not sure if the app itself works what it is supposed to)

Thats where u wrong, I'v allready rooted my phone, theres easy wasy to unroot it when needed so you still have your warranty (except of situations where phone is bricked or unable to preform unroot od course)
I''ve tried some of google play apps but all they do is enhance sound of players but not the conversation it self...

Ive get this nitrality app, there is a option called FULL SYSTEM BACKUP is this is a ROM & kernel backup as well or is it only backing up that efs partition?
So feamode 1.4 can be use for flashing with new kernel, can i also use it to backup existing one?

try wiping cache partition and dalvic cache....
If that doesn't work... Reflash your ROM
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS ;-)
Dont know if serious or just trolling
Joke thread nonetheless
This may be an issue with one of the apps you installed after flashing 5.5.
If you need to stay on DK 5.5, reflash again after full wipe (factory reset, cache partition, Dalvik cache) and do NOT install all your apps at once, install one by one and watch for some time.
Once you identify the culprit, try to install this app right after another clean re-flash, watch again. If you cannot live without that app, move away to another ROM.

I love it when people are as relieved as you are to get back up and running! I'm a slim fan so that's my suggestion, go to the slim thread and follow link to website, all instructions are there....where it says flash a nightly or an ics kernel I advise the nightly, it's a more trouble free method, just make sure you follow the instructions, it's very simple, but please read properly and thoroughly
ICS Rom

I can suggest you F4k v.4...i use it in the last 6 days and its moving as a charm.
I run SlimICS 4.1.
When installed according to instructions, there are no glitches. This ROM saves both memory (low-footprint launcher) and battery (all unnecessary services were removed). Especially the extra free RAM makes application switching a charm.
Launcher may take a day to get used to, but the benefits are well worth.

basically the time when you rooted your phone something went wrong and it is currently causing you this issue that you are having right now.
the current issue you are having right now is common.
its like a hit or miss thing.
-root with no bugs
-root with bugs <------- thats where you are now
-no root
just root it again and it will most likely solve the issue.
It seems you will have to restore your phone with SUS.
Then root using this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
I had the same problem than you, it was caused by using a bad root script. I fixed it restoring and using the script i from the thread i posted, it does not include a recovery, remember to install it later.
may be is that point.. every time i root still not good.....
then i try the other bro that root , my device is root ^^
