How to UNTHEME

I was wondering how to untheme your phone if you flashed a theme on it? Is nandroid backup the only way? OR if you want to flash another theme but you already flashed one on your ROM can you flash another one on top of it and it'll replace it?

+1 i would like to know also..
You can flash another theme right over it. Just make sure while in recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced). You can even flash your rom right over it too.
This was posted quite a while ago in Themes/Apps. It contains stock SystemUI and Framework. Obviously if the theme you are running altered other things (dialer, phone, settings, etc.) then it'll just be a start.

Yeah I always thought the best way was to simply wipe cache/dalvik, then reflash the ROM.

I think that's the most straight forward method. Although I did notice something strange. I had the Midnight rom with the ICS theme. When I switched to Starburst, some of the ICS themed pieces remained. I wiped data, cache and dalvik, so I don't think that should be possible. On the EVO 4G CWM had problems wiping dalvik. Is there a way to confirm that it's actually been wiped?

I don't think there's a way to confirm it's been wiped -- but I've read in multiple threads that it's smart to wipe 3x each & to wipe system FIRST before cache & dalvik otherwise you'll run into issues.
You can tell if dalvik cache has been wiped by hiw long it takes to boot you after you wipe dalvik. If it wipes properly the phone will take a while to boot the first time.

[Q] stuck in bootup

The phone is just stuck in the startup screen, after 1 month of flawless performance..... what can I do to fix this?
Have you tried wiping dalvik cache?

If that doesn't work you are probably looking at a wipe and reflash of whatever rom you are using. Good luck.
I probably should have mentioned that I am using the stock ROM..never flashed anything

Rooting Issue

Hi everyone,
Having an ongoing issue after I have rooted. Every time I try to play a flash video (youtube etc.) or play any kind of game my phone freezes for around 3 seconds, crash and then restart the whole system. I noticed however that when I plug in the headphones into the jack it sometimes gets rid of the issue while other times it will still restart the phone. I didn't install an custom ROMs, just straight unrooted and I have tried unrooting but the issue still remains. I tried finding an appropriate RUU for my phone but as far as I am aware there is none available for the 1.29 Vodaphone Australia version. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Yes I tried factory data reset as well as wiping cache through recovery. What do you mean by dalvik cache?

Yeah that didn't work.. Any other solutions?
Maybe installing a new rom will help. Try arhd ... Looks like stock rom. No visual changes.

Hey I just tried installing a custom ROM but the issue still remains.. really don't know what to do at this stage..

This is normal in my Xperia S (only a question)?

I have 6.1.A.2.45 version of ICS on my Xperia S and my question is that every time I start off the phone after I get a notice saying: Updating android: Optimizing # of applications ... This always happens to me each to start the phone. and it's annoying because it takes longer to start.
I have the phone rooted with CWM v2 for locked bootloaders
Its a bug, just factory reset if it bothers you.
Its a root, cwm or rom bug?

It depends on what have you flasged,moded lately.It is occurring at specific mods....
Hit Thanks if I helped
Its very strange because i only install the root and CWM, Nothing else more.

I noticed my phone did that when i "cleaned the dalvik cache" using titanium backup as the sony roms seem to create a 0kb file in the dalvik cache folder which tells the phone to to not rebuild the cache.

this is not a bug this always happen in all ICS rom when u clean dalvik cache as far as i remember
I guess JB too does the same when u clean davlik cache
try booting your phone without clearing devlik cache
if that happened then there is a problem
hope i helped

wait you optimizing them.........the system optimizes them on its own as if freshly installed
yeah it is annoying the more apps you have the more it takes times
I am noob at Linux distros but it seems like the prefetch file used in windows(cannt be sure about this )
you dont have to clear dalvink cache daily just do it when you find your phone laggy or heavy like you do with battery status when you find your battery life is not as it supposed to be

I have official stock ICS and kernel just rooted and installed cwm v2
and whenever i clean dalvik cache it re-optimizes application
there is a definition about dalvik cache on wiki search it on google since i still cannt post the link
so dont worry and this is not a bug this optimization is in all roms base on 4.x.x versions as far as i know
it is a bit annoying i know but cannt do anything about it i guess

wiping cahce and dalvik will affect the battery cache/stat?

Okay, I will install an update to my custom ROM in recovery, so I wiped cache and dalvik and installed the update. I just want to know if it will affect the battery stat/cache by wiping the cache and dalvik?

No it wont affect at all..
Jm!
Not sure, but I think it does affect the battery and wiping the Dalvik cache because when (sorry for my english) I apply it, my battery goes very fast and with time and use the term returns.

it won't affect a thing
The only way to affect battery stats is by doing a battery calibration, using the app or a recovery that supports it, or by flashing an update which replaces the actual "battery file", which I forgot the name...
