Applying Fresh Theme - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just curious as to how to apply a theme like Detox to Fresh 1.0.1? And if I want to remove it? Thanks in advance!

I haven't done themes yet, but I think they come as .zips and you just download them to the root of your SD card, then flash them like ROMs and kernels in recovery. Or FreshUpdater can sometimes do it from the app itself, but it reboots anyway so you might as well go the manual route.
I think. Download a theme. If it's a .zip, then do that.

All the themes i've seen have either been a flashable zip, or a Metamorph theme ( they each said how to apply them ).
Make a nandroid backup before applying a theme, then if you don't like it, you can just roll back to before you applied it.

the above post is correct. Most themes will come as a zip you flash them lieka rom. I suggest you nandroid before flashing (as always) the only way to get rid of a theme is to either flash the rom again, nandroid to a previous point before yuo applied the theme or flash a new theme over it (which may only change part of the theme)

Exactly like Silver said, i just want to add, if you want ro revert the easiest way is reflashing the rom(no need to wipe)

Thanks for all the awesome help! I got it all flashed and now it looks awesome!

[THEME] Minimal Matte ! FOR GALAXY S!

I have ported the famous theme, Minimal Matte onto our galaxy s.
it is orignally designed for the android 2.2 froyo and have ported it to android 2.1 (near abouts). It isnt exactly the minimal matte but is most like . screens are below.
Orignal Concept by: shiftedx
BUT made by : webstar1
Includes:
*Full Framework
*Launcher Pro (Themed)
*Geniewidget
*Skinned Swype QWERTY Keypad
* and more!
If you like it, please support me by donating below, ill be doing more ports and maybe even a custom rom .
Tested on a European JH1 Firmware with root
Download
Donate
EDIT: Ok so people are having problems flashing this:
The way i did it:
Downloaded Minimal Matte by webstar 1 directly to my phone
booted clockworkmod recovery and chose install zip not apply update.zip
then navigated to download/minimal matte
once its installed rebooted and voila, its worked.
im using a JH1 with root access.
make a nandroid backup before applying.
ive flashed this 5 times now and have had no problems
Just in case, THIS IS FOR ANDROID 2.1 not 2.2
EDIT: I forgot you also need a deodexed rom, here are some to flash:
Doc's RomMod
MoDaCo Custom Rom

Yup, ur free to post themed free apps (unless the developer has issues with it). But paid is always a No.
Btw:
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
just flash it with clockwork mod recovery or rename to update.zip and flash in backup mode (vol up+home+power when phone is turned off)

thanks anyway
*strange thing works through clockwork recovery
Black screen when rebooting. Forced to reflash in JM1new through ODIN.
What I do:
Downloaded Minimal-Matte-By_Webstar1.zip
Renamed it update.zip
Placed at the root of the SD
Launched clockwork mod from Rom manager
Apply update.zip
Reboot
Black screen! -> Reflash in JM1new + backup
What I do was the right approach? This is the first time I try to install a theme.

I don't know then whats wrong.I'll flash this on a stock jm1 and see what happens.
Try using theme porter to port the theme.

I know what might of happened, I have removed the bootscreen of samsung galaxy s where the S is made by tiny dots fusing. Basically if you flash this, I think it might wipe the boot screen as well so after flashing this, let the phone work for 10 minuets and the phone should definatley launch. You can get the bootscreen back by installing ryanz one click lag fix and the app had an option to restore bootscreen. Do that then uninstall app.
Try again but give phone time to work

Hi, sorry for my english i'm french
I waited for at least 30 minutes during the black screen but nothing happened. The black screen occurs after the animated galaxy S logo. The menu and return keys are lit during the black screen if I press them.
Has this worked for anyone at all

So was this theory proven correct?
I tried three times but it never worked (black screen). The last time I tried with a fresh installation: install the JM1new, root, installed rom manager, flashed clockwork mod, installed thre theme. Result still the same...
Use theme porter and see if it works
I think u must have a deodexed rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it worked for me with clockwork recovery
here are the steps i did
1. download I9000TGYJH1
2. download root/busybox @samdroid
3. flash I9000TGYJH1 with repartition
4. apply root
5. install clockwork recovery
6. download this rom
7.flash it with clockwork recovery
so you dont need a deoxed rom...
my guess is that it needs a jh1 rom
Launcher Pro uses an activation method to enable plus, you can include it freely.

[Q] Q-MIUI v0.12.11.1

Everytime I try to apply the theme with the Theme Manager it never applies the theme. I reboot and I'm still stuck with the same theme, anybody else?
Have you tried changing the file extension to .mtz instead of .zip?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yea I changed it but all it did was disappear from the theme manager. Kind of a noob here btw lol
No problem dude. I haven't had this problem yet. Are you doing a complete wipe before flashing miui?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yea I am, I'm thinking of re-flashing to see if that would help. But then again I don't know how important the themes are to me now.

I had the same problem until I flashed the MIUI-v0.6-(1.1.26). Theme Manager/Browser now work perfectly.

Gingerbread Dialer

Is there a way to get this onto the Epic. I love the look of the all black dialer. Its sooo sexy but I cant find it anywhere. Is this possible?
If you want it that badly flash the gingerbread theme, otherwise no, the dialer . apk is too deep in the framework to change other than skins.
Yea...I've tried two themes and I cant get them to work at all for me. I flash them in Clockwork after doing the wipes indicated (cache 3x's, dalvic 3x's) and I even throw in a hard reset but when booting the phone back up I get a million fc's and then bootloops. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm on a deodexed EB13 ROM with the Genocide OC'd kernal and the Vanilla lockscreen if any of that makes a difference.
The themes by Mysteryemotionz have the dialer your looking for. For those fc's I would just relash the theme. You are using themes specifically made for EB13, correct?

Personally, this is what I'd try (we're on a tangent!)
Open up a (compatible) theme you want to flash, with 7zip. Open the system/app folder, and delete all of the apks .. you can keep the folder.
delete any apps in /data/app , if there are any apks in there.
You should basically be left with the META-INF folder (don't touch that)
and the /system/framework/* stuff
So all you will be flashing is the contents of /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk
If this flashes, then it means you had some kind of problem with one of the 'themed' apps included in the theme. The basic themed UI elements are mostly contained in the framework and twframework apks anyway. But that's what I'd try first.
i love the stock dialer, it is so super cool. i dont get why you want to change.

Yes sir. They all state EB13 compatibility. I've tried reflashing a few times.

I'll try this. All I really care about is the dialer. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
yeah.. i tried putting that dialer in, kept crashing.
Best bet is just a full blow out gingerbread mod.
Didn't work for me. None of the themes are working in my favor. Darn it.
I've tried wiping everything then reflashing with no luck. All the themes are said to work with EB13 as well.
Damnit. Guess I won't be getting it lol
Have u tried full wipe, flash rom (don't restore data), then flash theme?

Ya, if u really want to get to the bottom of it, i would try flashing the theme on top of the clean rom, without any of your data. If it works, then you know that something in your 'data' is causing your probs.
At that point, you could explore alternatives like restoring from a titanium or mybackup backup.

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its alright, i really just want a rom that has close to outstanding battery life, then i want to be able to change to my favorite boot animation and a nice lockscreen and has tethering that works mine isn't working.

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****
Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
will try thanks
said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav
MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

That's your keyboard, not the messaging app... if I understand your complaint. There are a few free keyboards on the market, or you can try the HTC IME Mod - it's here on xda.

Remove theme on Jedi ROM

I am running the latest Jedi ROM and just flashed a new theme. Let's just say I hate it. How do you remove the theme? I was going to flash a new theme but every one I've looked at says not to if you are already running a non stock theme. So, all I want to know is how to remove the one I've got on.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Cant be done AFAIK. You should have made a nandroid backup before applying themes/mods. Good practise and you have the ability to restore your ROM to its previous state.
Now if you dont like it, you can flash any other theme over it. It will again mod the system files and idont think there will be any problem.
Edit:- Most themers do make a Universal Backup flasher or a backup of the things they mod. Which theme did you flash?
Search your Internal SD for any backup files or something similar.
Reflash the rom?
