I installed the ICE theme using metamorph and after going back to default theme using droid root helper a lot of things are still blue. Can anyone point me in the direction of a metamorph zip that can get things back to normal? I just want the default icons and dialer back...
Btw I'm running 2.0.1 on a motorola droid
I don't know how the droid works, but just flash the original rom file and it will get everything back to default. Or just open up the rom and replace the apk's with the originals.

I flashed the original ROM before it didn't work, thanks for the idea tho.
I'm really just lookin for someone that has made a metamorph file of the defaults from what I've read that's the only way to get back to it.
it happened to me too.. i've tried to reflash the rom (cyanogenmod) and icons werent changed.. so i reflashed android 1.6 and cyanogenmod and icons came back to normal XD

Well yea... because cyan doesn't package the google apps...
so am i just SOL?
Without more information yes. What rom, if they are google apps see above, if they are menu parts, most of them are in the framework files, so they just need to be pushed and reboot to see changes.
See the value of a nandroid backup... Worst case, backup your apps and settings then start over.

I did a nandroid backup, but when i made a new one to save my new data and apps it saved the new theme as well. Its things like the color of the text box in messaging and things of that nature that I would like to change back as I found a theme that works for me and I like these icons. I'm new to the android world as I used a blackberry for a long time. So what do you mean by push and reboot?
also how would I go about backing up just my apps and settings?
Hello. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, N7000ZSLR1, Android 4.1.2 Hong Kong version. There are something I am not quite satisfied with the ROM, I have rooted my device with Chinese one key root app so I wonder if there are some ways to customize the ROM.
1. The first thing is Notification screen. In this Android 4.1.2, when you pull it down, the shortcuts at the top will first display the tiles in picture 1, then it will automatically swipe to picture 2:
Picture 1:
Picture 2:
Is there any method that can modify / remove tiles at the top? Or at least make it like picture 2 in default when I pull down, no swiping.
2. In this ROM, the Task Manager no longer display in app drawer like Android 2.3.6, instead I need to long press Home button to go to "Recent App" screen and tap the pie chart icon at the lower left corner to open Task Manager. I'm curious, the system app is in \system\app, and it IS an .apk. So I wonder if I can at least make a shortcut from it and add to "Home Screen", I always need to use it and I don't want to download third party app for this shortcut.
Recent Apps screen:
View in ES File Explorer:
3. The default Launcher in the stock ROM is TouchWizHome, and by default there are no indication when you tap an icon to open the app. So I wonder if I can add some "effect" to notify me when I open an app, like dim the icon or glow at the edge of icon.
4. If you are a Titanium Backup user, please tell me that should I wipe system apps' data first before uninstall it. Because it always gives me a feeling of "unclean" if I don't wipe the data before uninstall it. I always uninstall system app to keep my phone slimmer and faster.
Thank you in advance.
first, to change anything with the user interface aka UI your rom must be deodexed, so you need to create a deodexed rom from this rom or look for it in a chinease android forum (defnitely you will find it).
once your rom is deodexed, you can flash one of AryaMod or Sweet rom mods to change the interface, i think most of them will work because of the same framework but make a full backup because they might not work.
if you only need to change the order of quick toggles in the notification panel i think you can do it from settings >> display
or you can make your own mods following one of the awesome guides in this forum but that will take you time and you may face bootloops

How about question 2 and 4?
2/ i think there is a resizable widget of the task manager, all you have to do is place it in your home screen and when you click on it it will open the task manager. i have no idea about how to make the task manager appear in the app drawer but sure there is a way to do it.
4/ yes i always use titanium backup to backup and restore my non-cloud-based apps but not from and to different android version. never restore for example apps that were backed up on jellybean to kitkat or any other android version cuz this will cause force-close and other problems. whenever you are going to install new rom just wipe /preload and /system (/data partition will be wiped automatically when you make wipe data - factory reset) this way you will leave no trace of old system apps data, config, cache or anything.
don't uninstall system apps just freeze them using titanium backup or directly from app settings if you are on ics or above. if you removed an important system app like google contact sync that you may think not important you may get force-close, unmounted storage, ui crash all the time and similar problems.
Hope i helped you

2/ ...Yes you think, but there is not, if it has then I'll place it at home screen from the start... I just want to know how to make that system app have a shortcut icon...
4/ But won't uninstall create more space for my system? I mean frezzing them will still occupy some space right?

It is just a safety procedure. Freeze the app and use your phone for a few days. If nothing funny happens go ahead and uninstall it to reclaim the space.
If you are absolutely sure the particular app you want to uninstall will not be needed anymore just uninstall it without going thru the freeze time.
ROM last updated: 11/8/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This ROM is similiar to my previous ROM: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling], but is based on the newer OTA/FW G930TUVU4CRI2 & is MUCH faster, at least on my phone (See Tmobile versions here). I did NOT base it on G930TUVS8CRJ1 (the latest) because that has bootloader ver8, which we don't have root for yet. (DONT take that OTA since you can NOT downgrade!) And if I had to guess, the only difference are some minor security updates, but mostly the security update that prevents root!!! (So no thanks!)
Description:
Stock Tmobile Oreo 8.0 modified (G930TUVU4CRI2)
This is a hybrid ROM, meaning: because we cannot unlock our bootloader, our options are limited. A hybrid, at least in this case, is where we start with stock, then strip away all the Crapware, add some fun apps, and do some tweaks.
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc. Yes, this means NO Samsung or Android Pay. There could be more apps to debloat but I haven't had a chance to revisit this yet. (Please provide suggestions if interested)
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM, very fast!
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
This will delete all of your data on the phone! (Not external SD card) This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Tmobile Wifi Calling works, along with Visual Voicemail & Mobile Hotspot
Many Aroma Installer app options
(Optional) KevinsFavorites option in Aroma. I'm not sure I'd recommend it due to my tastes. If you're looking for some good common apps tho, it includes: Amazon, AmazonMusic, AndroidAuto, AquaMail, Gmail, GoogleDrive, GoogleKeep, GooglePhoto, Hangouts, IFTTT, Pandora, RootBrowserClassic, TitaniumBackup, Uber, & Wink (If you install these and want to remove them later, use TitaniumBackup (or similiar) to uninstall
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & say Thanks!
Debloated
De-Knoxed
Decrypted /data/ partition (should be ready for Xposed, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet)
OTAs disabled
Speed & Build Prop Tweaks
Dual speaker option
Ruthless Launcher
Apps
AdAway
AOD Clock Face Themes
CPUSpy
DisableService
Kernel Adiutor
Samsung Video Editor and Trimmer
Xposed Installer
Many more...

Hide "Hurricane" (RCS) icon: Install System UI Tuner by Zach Wander from Play Store ->Open App->StatusBar->Auto Detect->Uncheck com.samsung.rcs Thanks @pshipley73 for the tip! (BTW I didn't implement the VoLTE/IMS fixes out there because there's too much flux right now with Tmobile & RCS - I didn't want to break anything!)
Known Issues:
Visual Voicemail may fail to register, but restart phone and give it a few hours. It works eventually. (Same issue is on stock)
RCS (Rich Communication Services/Chat/Advanced Messaging) texts don't show up in Android Messages, or Textra apps (Same issue is on stock)
Fix: (Use Samsung Messages) - You may be able to call Tmobile to get this feature disabled with your account. Everything they say online doesnt work. If anyone inquires with them or knows a fix, PLEASE let me know!
Regular earpiece doesnt have sound during a WifiCalling call. Fix: Use Speakerphone. My thought is that this is isolated to using the dual-speaker mod. (Can someone please confirm?) (This is NOT an issue during a non-wificalling call.)

My bad! I added the ROM link
Regarding the apps you list: I thought I made some of those options in Aroma, but Titanium Backup (or whatever) can easily remove any you still want to delete. Or you can edit my Aroma script and add in those deletes. I did want the phone to be a "tiny-bit" usable after installing the ROM (play YouTube, open pdf files, etc). Enjoy!
Very Nice!
Hi Kevin, how could I install GameLauncher in this ROM?
I'm very interested in using that app when playing :crying::good::fingers-crossed:

Yes, it is an application that allows you to do several things while you are playing. The GameLauncher includes GameTools, but I can not install it in any way, because I think you need a file or something like that?

Yes, but will not there be some .zip?
I mean, everything is installed at once, because if I install nothing more than the GameLauncher apk, although without the Samsung store, "Galaxy Apps" I can not update nor will the app work correctly .
In itself, I can not use GameLauncher to have installed GameTools (although I would have done the one to install the apk, the GameLauncher app will not recognize me any game), and without the Samsung store, they will not work well.

when you are on the stock with the root then use root browser to save these two files from stock
SamsungAccount_Star, SamsungCloud, under n Priv-app folder, once you run the hybrid ROM using flashfire then go back and restore these two files back to Priv-app folder which will enabled your theme store so you can run your gaming app

If you are using a S7_SM-G930T & have the stock partitions for this model (ie, you didnt flash a different pit), then you dont need to do it. The guide as-is is solid for a stock S7_SM-G930T. Flashing the pit from another ROM of mine wont hurt if you flash on a S7_SM-G930T. I have only tested this ROM on a S7_SM-G930T.

Thank you @zfk110 for jumping in. This ROM really is aiming to be anti-Samsung - I LOVE the hardware but honestly hate all the Sh$t they put on it. And I need wifi-calling. And WE ALL LOVE ROOT. WHY cant we have it!!! ITS OUR PHONE WE BOUGHT DAMMIT! So that's what this ROM is all about. But trying to put it back to how SamDung intented, after my ROM reverts all their shannigans, might actually be easier to just roll with stock Sorry for being blunt.
But I do get it, some apps are actually good. Just PLEASE dont ask for Android pay or Samdung pay!! I do have all the apks, but no where to host them. If you have a little time & initiative, check out this thread I made on how to extract an apk from an "ODIN" file (like TMB-G930TUVU4CRI2.zip from this thread) https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ide-how-to-extract-samsung-s7-ota-fw-t3862938 . And check out how to deploy this apk to system (not even sure they have to go to system tho) using ADB under Known Fixes for Messages here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3855911 ...or do what @zfk110 said Titanium Backup does have a ton of power to do things like this as well...

it has those two files, and if you want to go back to stock Touchwiz then install the whole zip using flashfire it will give you stock Touchwiz and theme store with Viper and some good rooted apps or you can just pull those two files from it

Aroma Installer looks bonk if you dont set the resolution all the way up. Once you go through it tho, itll set back to stock which is in the middle. (ie, when guide is finished, resolution will be in the middle)
Just discovered this! I have a G930v and I've been flashing G930u firmware then G930t radio (CP file) and I've been running strong on tmobile (LTE+, wifi txt'ing & calling all work). Anyone have any experience how this ROM compares?

Well I do not work the app (Game Launcher) in the Rom of Lanc-City, in the Aroma if it gives you option or has added it, that you can install GameLauncher .
I think something is missing, and I do not know what function.
