Right now I'm using Baked Snack 1.75 and manup's theme which I spent several hours fine tuning to my liking. If I were to try out another ROM and later restored a backup of this current setup, would it revert to the customized theme I now have or would I have to reflash the theme onto Baked Snack and tweak it once again?
Also, at this point do I need to keep the zip file of the theme on my card or can I delete it? And I assume that depends on the answer to the question in my first paragraph.
Thanks in advance.
No you will not have to reflash anything. The theme will be there along with everything else.
In summary: A nandroid backup will restore the phone to the exact state it was in at the time of backup. This includes all your settings, your apps, your emails, text messages, etc. So, if you install a new ROM and either hate it or screw somthing else you can restore the backup and it will be as if you never touched a single thing. Period.
Yes, you can delete the zip file of the theme from your sdcard. you will not need it again unless you want to use it later to theme another ROM.

OK so this is the deal. I flashed CM 6.1 and wanted to check out the Dark Froyo theme to see how it works. Turns out it doesn't, anytime I attempt to add a new account I can't get Gmail in there, Market/Gmail app don't even open at all. So I reflashed a fresh copy of CM6.1 after doing a data wipe/dalvik wipe and still appears like elements from the Dark Froyo are in there i.e. the black and white icons for gmail and market. Still can't get gmail to open or market to open. Any suggestions?
Nobody has any info about this? I haven't been able to find a relevant thread
Try doing a factory wipe from HBOOT.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
CM themes save an xml on the sd in the folder /CMThemes
If you delete that file, I think the theme and its options will be gone.
Dont forget to "apply" another theme in the CM Settings first...
I did the factory wipe from Clockwork, and mounted the SD to my comp to make sure I deleted it and the thing is gone. I moved to a different ROM for the time being, which is unfortunate because I really liked Cyanogen. I'm just giving Ultimate Droid a test drive for now.

I had the same thing happen with the iNexus theme. The only way I could get back to stock CM 6.1 was to an earlier nandroid backup. If you didn't run a backup before installing the theme, you will have to do a new install.

What do you mean new install? I downloaded the CM6.1 zip and put it back on my memory card and the flashed it again if that's what you're referring do. I mentioned that in my OP.
EDIT: I suppose this is all irrelevant now seeing as the speaker appears to be shot. Looks like I have to call in for a replacement.
I installed myn's rom and love it! In doing so I wanted to play around since this is my first ROM I have installed. I installed a transparent titlebar, battery mod, and gingerbread menus from his list of optional items.
I then found f(red)'s gingerbread experience modifications that are listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866158
Now i am kinda stuck.. Now in the menus i have white buttons with white text in them.. so in short, i cant see anything
How can i correct this? Can i somehow load Myn's themeing back and then lay what i want on top of it to get what i want? I just dont want to have to reload the rom and wipe my phone.. it is just a pain in the butt to do so.
so i am not thinking... right now i am doing a clockwork backup and will use ROM manager to apply the same rom on top of itself. Then will apply the gingerbread experience items one by one afterwards.
Did you do any backups before you started appliying mods? Best to do a restore then boot into recovery and flash the mod. if you flash over too much it tends to get like too many layers paint on a wall. Not sure if this help at all but ill look into it a bit more for you

That would have been too smart
Fortunately i have gotten my themeing back by just reapplying the rom but i just lost root it seems. I cannot use setcpu, wifi tethering, nor titanium backup.. but i have no clue why.
It is like i lost root. How can i get this back?
Do you have the SuperUser icon? Try clearing its cache. Did you try to reinstall SetCPU, does it pop up the permissions box?
i downloaded and installed an app called root checker which verified that i somehow did not have root anymore... crazy.
I just did a full wipe (cache and all) and reloaded the ROM and all is well again. no clue why it did this or how... what can i say.. it is what it is I guess.
I currently have ARHD 5.1.10 installed and when it comes out officially will install 5.1.11. What is the best (easiest and quickest) way to restore my widgets, icons and scenes to the way I have them now?
With ROM's being updated on such a regular interval there must be a one-click method?
Just backup in cwn if you want to, then flash the new ROM right on top of the old one. That way you'll keep all apps, settings etc.
Surely flashing a new ROM would wipe out my screens and replace with the "base" new one? I understand all the apps will be there but what about the layout of the icons?

I flashed the latest ARHD 5.1.11 and of course the screens all changed to the base ROM versions. I then used Titanium Backup Pro to restore Apps and System. All the icons appeared in the same places as I had set them up in 5.1.10 however all of the widgets were "broken". I use Multicon so I have a lot of widgets so this was no good.
I Nandroided back to 5.1.10 and all is back to the way it was.
Is it possible to get back you previous icon and widget arrangement after flashing a new ROM? Titanium Backup Pro almost worked. Perhaps I chose the wrong restore method or option or do you have to sit there after each flash and painstakingly manually restore the icons/widgets after a flash. The missus is getting a little fed up!
What are your experiences?
Hello, I have searched this forum on how to do this, and found that all i had to do was to re-flash my rom and that should revert it back to the theme that the rom came with. The only thing is it broke somethings and i get FC's randomly.
Is there a better way of doing this because the only other way i see is to re-flash the rom by wiping data/cache after i try a theme. I would prefer not to lose data/settings because its time consuming to get it all back to the way i had it.
Thank you.
The other way is find out what files were replaced with the new theme, use 7zip to pull them out of your ROM, place them into the flashable zip replacing the files there, then reflash that and everything should be back.
Now to get rid of your FCs, clear data in the files FCing and go to Titanium Backup and clear data in Google Services Framework. Then make sure to enable journaling to prevent further FCs.
Hey guys,
Right now, I have an unrooted, GB i927 (stock rom). I held off on the previous stock updates through Kies to ICS, since there were some features (read: silly little things like the date and carrier switched places when opening the notification center, the YB contacts addition, and I think that was it) that I didn't like. Now, seeing as how GB is slowly being phased out of development, I am looking for something to flash. I am aware of the newer UCLJ3 update via Kies, and have considered that, but it doesn't fix the silly little things I mentioned. I have also looked at dman's CM10 port, but that is still in beta. Therefore, can someone suggest an ICS rom to flash? I am looking for something with the physical keyboard working (a must, as well as the backlight working), theme support, and no YB plugin in the contacts! Also, if someone has a rom to suggest, would I have to update to UCLJ3? Or does that even matter? (I'm pretty new to the custom roms on Android, so some help would be appreciated.)
Thanks!
Flash dman's deodexed JL3 and flash 14 toggles. It gives the phone an awesome feel.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
Is there a specific version of 14 toggles to flash? All I could find was ones built for specific phones/roms, so I'm not sure if there is a i927-specific or just a general version.
And also, I have heard about the T-Mobile Theme Engine, which is on CM (shows up as Theme Manager?). Would this rom have the support for themeing as well?
literom 0.8.4... has 14 toggles already pre-installed.
I recommend backing up everything with titanium backup, doing a nandroid backup ... flash stock w/ Odin, factory reset and wipe cache, then install CWM then literom 0.8.4 per the instructions. Restore your apps/config etc. with Titanium and you should be good to go.
I created a batch that held only my apps/settings (IE: email, accounts, wifi hot spots, frozen bubble so i dont loose my level, SMS Messaging, call log, widgits I use, apex and config). I run my back to backup, I run it to restore with a new flash .. really saved time in trying new roms
Good luck!

What did you do did you make an update.zip? That did not work for me. Just wondering because I have the pro Titanium backup and now what I do after I install a new ROM is I return the apps I want 1 by 1 via Titanium. Also how do you backup your Text messages via Titanium backup? As well is there a way to backup your 10 speed dial numbers I hate having to redo those after every new Rom.
