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!

Make sure you are completely wiping your phone before installing new ROMs and switching between them like that. This could be one reason you are getting bootloops.
Wipeing like there's no tommrrow still no go for the bx theme finally got the all black theme working thanks man out of all the members of xda u were the only reply to my quest for help and I posted 3 different threads on this I was sure I would find more help but guess not but thanks for taking the time to reply I appreciate it

Well my guess is that since CM6 is still an ever-changing ROM with new updates and versions coming out basically every day, that's why some of these themes you're flashing aren't working. It's possible that the theme someone designed works on a very particular build of CM6 (that was only available for maybe like a day or so), then as soon as something is updated or changed in a new ROM release, that theme might not be compatible anymore with the new stuff. I don't use CM6 so I can't say that for sure, but I bet it's part of the reason. A lot of themes are only compatible with very specific frameworks and apk's, so if any of that has been changed or updated, the theme no longer works properly, sometimes causing bootloops.
It says in your sig that your using darch recovery, and if you're not using the engineering spl, then that means you have no way of formatting /system, which when you're flashing back and forth between roms on the partition mod, you really need to do. So either change to the spl so you can use fastboot to erase system or go to clockwork recovery and do it there. If you change your recovery, you will have to redo the whole partition hack again from the beginning.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822949
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

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

FAQ
How to flash FireFly? (Method one)
BACK UP!!!
Flash to stock (FTS)
Wait for your phone to reboot and then re-enable debugging
Hook phone back up to pc and Master Clear (MC) using Odin
Load Clockwork update.zip (DOWNLOAD)
Load FireFly_X-X.zip to phone memory
Remove sim and external SD, and unplug USB
Boot into recovery and reinstall packages (You may have to reinstall packages twice to get to Clockwork recovery)
Once in Clockwork recovery (Green Text), select install zip from SDcard

I'm asking cause i was on darky8.1, then flashed directly to 9.3b1 which resulted in incorrect orientation(i9000), then i read the instructions which expected me to flash to base(resurrection), then flash a captivate fix and then flash to 9.3b1...!!!!
You should be able to flash directly as long as you flash FF 2.2 full not the update package.

Nope, you can download the FF 2.2 from the site. LINK
Pick any one of the mirrors. This will get you FF2.2 with the clock in the status bar.
If you want to remove the clock, you can flash the no clock package.
EDIT: Spaz beat me to it. Thx Spaz.
ok cool..thanks!! lookin forward to enjoy this ROM
..its really irritatin to have to flash to base ROM's and then flash to the updated ROM's....

I flash to FireFly 2.2 and its looks awesome + I've been looking for a ROM that had the fix for when I connect the AUX cable to the car radio I can talk to anyone on the phone and hear them on the car speakers... This ROM has that fix finally, I love it... no more Blutooth head sets. But I have a big issue and is that when I make my 3rd or 4th reboot my phone freeze on the "F" boot logo. It does that vibrating action once and then twice like when there's an error. I have flashed my phone before so many times and had no issues and I have been using all FireFly ROM's ever since It came to life. This 2.2 ROM I have flashed like 4 times and I keep having the same problem and I don't want to flash any other ROM only but this one. What can be the reason for this problem? Please Help!

That is quite a strange problem.
Lets try to troubleshoot it.
Did you install any third party app that needs to load at startup?
Did apply any themes?
Glad to have this open since i cant post on the original thread yet

Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it...
Thanks a lot for your attention...
Several Questions
I've been using Firefly since it came out and upgraded to 2.2 last week. I do have a couple questions after having used 2.2 for awhile.
1. Why were the dark apps removed (gmail & market)? It seems like Firefly has a darker theme and using the modified apps as default makes sense. Maybe a CWM zip containing all the dark apps would be an option or links to the forum pages? I was able to find dark versions of Gmail, Voice, Gtalk, and the Market by searching, but I think it would make more sense from a theming sense for these to be included by default.
2. What's the best way to remove the Samsung Apps? I flashed the zip and messed around with it a bit, but realized I don't need it. You can't uninstall it like normal apps so I was thinking about removing it with TiBu, but I don't want to mess something up. Suggestions?
3. I searched around the forums, but I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this: does this rom support call recording? Is this a kernel issue or simply a rom feature that Firefly hasn't implemented? If this is something simple to do without losing theming, I have no problem with that, if not consider this a feature request.
4. Not sure if this is a Firefly issue or an ESPN issue, but since flashing 2.2 my ScoreCenter app keeps reverting to the user Tron98001. I don't know who this is or how it got on my phone, but it keeps changing all my settings. Everytime I delete the app and wipe the data, it defaults to that same user when I install it again. If I change the user and settings, within about a day it reverts back. Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.
You can always try different modems, to see which one works best for you.

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.
As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

I did run into this problem when I flashed Fire Fly 2.2. The only way around it was to uninstall Launcher Pro and then install it again. I am not sure what caused the problem but this did solve it for me. The one downside of this is that all the screen setups that I had got removed. But that is minor to me since I move things around all the time any way.

That fix is still in the works in Xcal's kernel. We will have to wait till it is implemented all around.
Thanks for your quick response. I'll wait for the CWM zip to remove the Samsung Apps. I understand the legallity of call recording and it is something I just wanted to try out, anyways I have a follow up question then: if I apply the phone.apk and libs I found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938860) would I lose the theming of the dialer that comes with Firefly by default? Do you know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

Before reading that post, I want to apology for my creepy english ^^'
Hello all, so i've deleted buld.prop and when I rebooted my Ace, he wasn't booting, help ??
No just kidding...
Well, have some of Xda devs saw that there is a bug with all animations pop up on Gingerbread ? Or even the animation when you press the the Clock apk ?
This lag is on all stock Gingerbread firmwares for Ace, it wasn't on Froyo.
But as many of bugs, it can be fixed, for that you must be rooted.
Then go to /system/build.prop, choose edit it, and scroll until the middle of the build.prop txt.
Then somewhere you could see debug.sf.hw (I think it's about render UI with GPU, but not sure AT ALL)
If you add a "#" just before it, then all animations like pops up, or when you go in the multitasking will be fixed.
If you are not sure of it, then go on home screen, then longpress where there are no icons, then choose widget, see the huge lag ? And the lag of scrolling in the list ?
After editing build.prop with that, it will works normally
Just add "#" before it
#debug.sf.hw, save and reboot
The only problem is if you havn't installed CF-Root (it changes your bootanim) you will have a white screen on boot, but it boots normally...
But I have a fucin' problem...
It worked normally with all stock roms I had, but with XWKTM (recent stock rom) first, when I want to install Cf-Root b84, it's okay, but when I want to reboot, I have a bootloop... Black screen, when I press home, the screen gets a little lighter but thats all, he gets darker just after...
So reflash KTM...
And I found another way to root the phone, with a flashable.zip which weights 900ko
Boot is okay, reboot too...
So, go edit build.prop as always I want to say , but after saving, when I want to reboot, the same black screen, and still not booting after 2 minutes...
So I went back to KPO 2.3.3 stock, which I deodexed with flashable.zip and a CF - Root B84...
So I just wanted to share this fix, and then wanted to ask if someone knew how to fix the animations lag differently ?
Thanks...
Yes disabling rendering ui by gpu results in black bootscreen.For that you should use bootanimation.zip.Look for mdpi bootanimation here in xda,move it to data/local,set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
Yes, but it's not only a problem of black bootscreen, because on older roms it was booting, even if the screen was white...
But with that KTM, it isn't booting at all...
Guess u dint set permissions for build.prop
