[Q] Problems with new themes - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

I have a Galaxy S and i have tried to install 2 themes yet but neither of them work.
I have the SamFirmware JS5 ROM. The themes that i hace tried are Spectrum and Black Android v4.1.1
In both cases the instalation works fine. The process finishes and apeears the end message asking me to rebbot.
So I reboot and when the interface apears on the screen, there is no change. The theme is the default one.
Am i forgetting something?
Thanks.

I believe the roms have to be de-odex before you can use those themes. Try Docs Rom kitchen you can get pretty much stock if you like and then install a theme over top

Thanks for your reply.
I have create a Rom from the site you talked me. How can i install?

Mod please move this noob post to Q&A...An hours reading is all that was needed to answer all these very basic Questions.

[Q] Need a little Dev Help

Maybe Im an idiot and sorry if this has been answered already I searched and could not find it. Ok so here is my noob ?? I am trying to cook up my very first Supersonic Evo rom using DRIXDAS Htc Android Kitchen, I am also trying to theme it at the same time. Now I have found and created some pretty nice stuff in both the frameworkres.apk and the htcres.apk, I think I have themed it pretty well, that being said I have been trying to add some already themed clocks and friendstream widgets to my rom. This is where the problem comes in, see i know that the themed clocks and friendstream widgets work on my phone because I have flashed the flashable .zip, after rom is up and running of course. However when i try to just add the .apk to the system app folder (either clock or friendstream.apk) then cook the rom with them already in, it doesnt work. They dont even show up. Now here is what I have tried. I have signed them using signAPK, I have also tried signing them with the kitchen, and of course I always zipalign all my .apks before cooking the rom. The process seems to go through well both signing and zipaligning, but when the rom boots niether are there. If I could get any input on this I would appreciate it. Thank you to all the Devs on here who have insprired me to try this, all being said I am having fun and learning A LOT!! Also if anyone could give me any pointers at all, like how to add a reboot option to the power settings of my rom that would also be helpful. Any tips that anybody can think of that I wouldnt know about would be awesome. Again thanx to Devs and anybody on this website for there imformative info on rom developing and theming!
Try just swapping the apks no signing or kitchen see if that works for you!
I presume you are using ubuntu so just drag and drop

Thanx but I tried that already, no go the niether the themed clock nor the themed friendstream were in the rom after it was cooked and installed. And I am using windows 7 so I have to use cygwin, only other alternative would be to set up ubuntu vm, wich I can do if anyone thinks that would make a difference.
Thanx anyways.
BTW Just as a side note I love the Kings UNleashed Ultra R2 rom, very nice work indeed sir!

[THEME] For any ROM. Yup, any single ROM.

So if your like me and like to change the theme's of your phone this is literally the website to do it!
uot.dakra.lt/kitchen <---- Copy/Paste that in your address bar.
It's a theme kitchen and it works on any phone, any ROM, and any version of Android (2.2 , 2.3)
-----------
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. I'm not at fault here, they even have a Youtube video on how to do it.
Sorry guys, let me lay things straight before confusion and cyber authority kick in, I DID NOT CREATE THIS KITCHEN. I give ALL credit to the person who put their life into it, please donate to them.
I just saw this on the internet and wanted to share with the XDA family!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay guys, some of you are having trouble with the kitchen, I'll just break down the instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Whatever ROM your CURRENTLY using, open it and find the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
{Remember, it'll only work with your current ROM, flashing it to another ROM will send you in a never ending boot, because I've done that, anyways, if you change ROMS, you need to re-cook the whole theme with your new current ROM's APK's}
2. Choose your selections, generate previews and what not
Froyo ROMS do not support transparent ANYTHING so do not select it. If your on a Gingerbread ROM then your good and you can check 'enable transparency in status bar' in the Status Bar section
3. Upload your APK's in correct order in the 'File Upload' category
4. As soon as step 3 has been performed, go to 'Summary' and hit 'Submit to Kitchen' If a category is red simply go back and generate the preview
5. If you get an error log in the 'Pickup' page, I don't know what happens so sadly you have to go re-cook your ROM again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys this should work like a charm with little to no trouble, I'm young and did this with a breeze.
Happy Theme-ing everybody!
Screen shots please =]

Thanks for the link man!!!! I just went and tried it out, and tweaked some things on a theme I have already now it's lookin really sweet!!! Thanks again!
@G1rome....It is a site so you can make your own custom themes, no screen shots available.
Original thread located in the "Android Themes" section:

Great find and thanks for sharing it in the G2 community, best way to theme a rom with your own personal preferences.
I gave this a try, seems easy & straightforward to use. However, do you have to make a donation in order to submit your created theme to that kitchen?

UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS
Will this work with stock rom.
@cubanito151 If you follow the instructions carefully it will.
It works on all roms.
Anyone else having issues with the mods sticking? I only did the battery icon mod and it worked at first but now its gone and back to the stock look.
This is pretty lame that its not sticking and reverts back to the old battery icon.

What ROM are you using?
And when will it not stick? When you do a reboot?

Good job mate

Looks awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for, but I don't understand how to 'apply using CWM'..
Do I need to replace the original files with your files using root explorer for example?
Well done buddy, looks so clean.

CWM is a custom recovery image that you can use to 'Flash' roms/themes/mods etc. Check out the dev section for a howto and more info. Awesome theme btw, it's got the stock look but with a much more refined feel, great work
Forgive me for this, i did search but in my experience forum searches somehow miss out what im looking for, can I just install clockworkmod through rom manager or is it more complicated than that? Im on rooted stock ke7 so I understand I'd need a deodexed rom such as lightening rom before I did this, although I don't know what deodexed means lol
Awesome! I love the whole look and feel of it. Amazing, keep on the good work and for all your Launcher Pro / ADW users, you really have to try this Go Launcher EX. It has the same customisation. However the screen transistions are a lot smoother!
Just what ive been waiting for, lol this will be the reason i actually bother to flash a custom rom.

Clockwork is installed via Chainfires kernel for KE7 or KE2 roms, flash this for clockwork mod but if you want to use this theme first flash Villainrom and deodexed just means the rom can be themed really.
Hi together, I'm new on this forum and I have a question about this theme. Do I need to root my phone or not. If yes, then where can I find some theme without rooting my phone, because I dont want to lose my warranty! And sry for my bad english!
Changelog 01-06-2011:
- Shadow added on my icons inside my go launcher theme, see screenshots!
Didn't work for me on Lightening 1.1, everything force close and the phone wouldn't respond. All is well though as I have just flashed VillainRom and flashed this theme as well, this theme is exactly my style. Not all flashy and glowy. Its perfect! Thanks.

Use this kernel and it should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
But I dont get it.. Installed Villain 1.1 and still no luck.
The lockscreen is all messed up. I have the pattern lock and the dots are not within the circels but outside. Also Im not getting the awesome lockscreen you have.
I do and did have widgetlocker installed, but even if i disable or delete it Im not getting the lockscreen.
After flashing the zip i still have the touchwiz interface. Only thing that changed is messing up my pattern lock and changing the battery icon etc.
Also the messages are still rounded and not sqare as shown.
Or should I install your modified Go Launcher to get the phone like shown on the pictures in first post?
Could you please make a step by step how-to?
Changelog 02-06-2011:
- Some icons updated
Great Job. Can you please change network, Data and Wifi notifications to blue color like battery color (so all notifications will be consistent).
Thanks again.

Did you wipe cache and Dalvik first..Are you using CWM to flash and I would try flashing again..I've only tried it with EpicAOSPMod V-1 rom and stock kernel...It is"Universal"so I would think it should work for all others...Try it again wiping cache and Dalvik and let me know how you make out!!
I think ROMS with NO CIQ is CAUSING ALL THE F.C'S!!
Guys..I think it may be ROMS that have NO CIQ that is causing all the Force closes..I just remembered...I tried installing a similar theme on my AEMOD and had recieved the same PROBLEMS...That has to be the PROBLEM... Sorry guys...I will change the O.P and state to look out for that...There is a member who installed it also and had NO PROBLEMS...I wil lPM him and ask which Rom he is using..
Thanks for your interest in my theme, it really means alot and motivates me to update
I'm going to update the theme at the weekend, for more info have a look on the original thread, thanks.
I install this on I fresh flash (Wiped 3x ) on StarBurst ROM[10/9/11] [v1.5]

you say to wipe data + cache + dalvik 3 times, wont that delete profile and everything on my phone which has starburst 10/8 nightly installed?
if i wipe data? that sometimes causes phone to freeze because I would not be installing a rom afterwards?
if i want to install the newest version of starburst (v1.5) and this theme, what are the best steps to take to do it?
figure this should cover alot of bases that maybe not just me might have

[Q] ROM Toolbox Pro Issues

Hello Everyone,
I recently downloaded the "ROM Toolbox Pro" app onto my HTC One V. At first I wasnt sure of all the things you can modify your phone with, but after looking and playing around for a few hours I got the idea. I noticed that you can change your [3G] icon to different colors and so forth for other icons on your phone. When I reboot the phone after applying a new boot logo, and Icon it didnt work at all. My first thought was that maybe you cannot modify anything with the Stock ROM? If anyone can tell me any information about this, that would be wonderful!
Also if I need to switch my ROM to something else, can someone please send me a link to a good ROM for the HTC One V that doesnt have any issues, and the full setup on how to do it? That would be wonderful!
Thanks alot,
WizzyCreator

Boot Animation - Install
I've had problems with getting new fonts on my Samsung Player 5 (ROM: Chip1.5).
Worse, the Boot Animation and Randomizer won't let me change the boot animation any longer. It was working (especially when I had the standalone Boot Animation app). Not sure what happened?
Thanks.

Try installing Sphongle ROM or Omega ROM. They are quite perfect for everyday use. I've been using sphongle from last 8-9 months. Rom toolbox works perfectly in it.

Same case with me I have deodexed my rom and still cannot change the notification background.
Do you know where the original notification bar background file is located?
s6 and rom toolbox pro
Can't get the galaxy s6 edge to custom reboot with rom tool box pro~
I was able to change the font~
So it does work~
