hi
i looked around for a bit but couldn't really find a specific flashable file for what im looking for... is there a zip out there to revert to the original theme/settings that came with Bionix 1.3.1? im getting bored of the simple b&w so it's time to start experimenting with some themes... :x
also... quick question about davlik.. most of the theme instructions say to wipe the davlik cache before/after installing a new theme but dont really mention anything about the waiting period that is normally associated with wiping the cache when installing a new rom. is it necessary to wait the 15-20 minutes before using my phone or can i just go ahead and start doing things with it immediately after i flash a theme?
any helpful answers appreciated. thanks!
I have been looking for the same thing! The erobos ported theme has the zip but the link to download doesn't work anymore.
The dalvik-cache must be wiped when a new theme is flashed so you won't see traces of the previous after the flash. When the phone reboots after the flash, the boot time will take longer because the phone has to rebuild the dalvik-cache that you just wiped. This only takes about an extra 5 mins tops. As for restoring a theme, you can just push the origianl files from the Bionix-V ROM package back to your phone, if you dont want to do that, PM me and i'll make you a flashable zip that does this.

This is just a zip you can flash to erase whatever theme you are using (for stock ROM). This will install all stock apps, stock frameworks, fonts and boot animation. I use this when I'm testing themes. Much better than re-installing stock ROM because you don't have to do any wipes (keeping all your apps and settings) and it will keep your OC kernel active. Also much quicker than re-installing stock or restoring nandroid

Ok, I'm coming from the moment and everything seems to be a little more confusing on the shift. I just perm-rooted my shift yesterday. Now I'm looking to theme it. I haven't installed any roms or different kernals yet, because I'm really confused on which one to do, cause a lot of them say something is broken.
So what i wanted to do was apply the cyan dragon theme. So I assume this theme eraser acts like a theme template and I have to use it before applying any theme.
Now the next problem I'm having I can't even download this or the cyan theme. Every time I click on the download link I get directed to the dropbox site and I get a 403 error. I even tried creating my own account and logging in and still don't know how to get the file. Don't know if its a dropbox problem but I've been trying since last night. I've never used dropbox before so maybe I have to do something different to get the file. Unless it's an xda thing and I don't have proper permission to download this file.
Any help would be appreciated, cause I really want to theme this bad boy.

This is not a theme template per se. You don't need to use this to flash a theme. This is for when (for example) your on cyan dragon and you decide you want to try a blue theme. This puts framework, apps, ect back to default (using nfinites rom as a base deodex) since not all themes have the same themed apps and you don't want to have some themed apps leftover on the wrong theme. This is also much faster than reflashing a rom, keeping all your apps and settings. If you're trying to flash cyan dragon then I recommend flashing nfinitefx45's stock 2.0 rom found in android developement first. The issue with the links is dropbox related and I'm planning on moving everything to multiupload later on today, then ill update the links.

If running the NFX Odex ROM, then which of the two versions would you recommend?

Well in that case I guess I would suggest the mikshift version cuz its odex as well... but it will basically become mikshift at that point...

do we have to wipe theme before applying another one, if we currently have one installed already?

Its suggested to do so. If you flash a theme over a theme there might be residual themed apps leftover as not all themes theme the same apps.

I've had good luck with this. After ZipThemer builds the update.zip (& the undo.zip) I just move the zip files from the root of my sdcard to /openrecovery/updates, reboot to OpenRecovery & apply the update.

Couldn't get it to work. Tried with a working MM and got the .zip file but OR just aborted it when I tried using it as an update.
Did you change the update script format? (Edify HTC Generic works for me)
Tried with HTC generic and got bootloops. Didn't format but don't usually need to. Ill try formatting later to see though.
Any other settings you have differently?

Not that I know of. Apply the update wipe the Dalvik & cache reboot. Iv'e tried a couple & got bootloops but the undo option has always worked for me.
I sort of got it working. Are you able to apply it while you have another theme to restore a theme made by theme zipper?

I've combined multiple morphs into one update.zip but I haven't tried adding a ZipThemer theme into the mix. Looking at the ZipThemer output files I would think that as long as you're theming different apks you could build multiple updates but if you're targeting the same file you either have to incorporate multiple themes into one update or apply one update before building another. (Does that make sense?)
Hmm I was half asleep when I wrote that let me rephrase.
If I make an update.zip with theme A and later on flash theme B (a completely different theme) if I want to go back to theme A, can I flash that update zip created in themezipper?
This is what I'm trying to do so I can give out my themes.
However it only bootloops if I apply update.zip(A) to theme B

Sorry, I haven't really tied anything like that but if your're theming the same files ti doesn't make sense to me.
im sorry i have to ask.. i have looked for a couple of hours now and cant find any solid info on installing miui..
im a veteran at flashing tw roms and themes.. but with the lack of knowledge on aosp im a little weary on going forward..
im unsure if any kernel comes with the miui rom.?. what cwm i need.?. or if i need to odin it.?. what modem will i need? .. do i need to start from stock eclair? do i need to reboot before flashing a kernel after flashing rom? do i need to reboot before flashing gapps? do i need gapps?
my head is spinning.. if someone would give me detailed direction i would do my best to compile it and help others.
thanks
What I did as a noob which was easy even for me was EF guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035420
Then : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155477
well actually I just went from EF to CM7 that new guide seems simple enough though.
and the CM7 post he refers to for the fixed cmw is this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
Then just flash Miui from CM7 or straight to Miui from EF but it sometimes gives you issues. My personal experience has been to flash Jt's CM7 then to Miui
*Edit* Also if you need any more help just PM me I have an hour to kill or so.

had some trouble with some hash checks.. little behind
flashing new cwm then cm7 then miui... miui is all i need to flash? or do i have todo gapps
?
what color should the fixed recovery be? mine is still red.
sorry my bro from portland called. Red is fine you dont need gaps as you will be flashing it away anyways. if you're still having issues with hash checks download an earlier build of CM7 to install that first then Miui.
Edit Miui comes with Gapps, jt's CM7 doesn't but when you flash to Miui you will wipe gapps anyways is what I mean.
edit 2 Also depending on build you won't be able to 3 button to red cmw from boot so use terminal emulator or rom manager to reboot into recovery.
wow.. cm7 is so much better than what im used to i might just stay.. lmao..

Hello,
I have a general question about metamorph themeing. If I have extracted and installed a metamorph theme and did not make a backup, is there any way to go back to the stock theme? Thanks much!
No. It replaces the files in the packages so if there was no backup, they cannot be restored which will lead to re-flashing your rom (or flashing a new one).

Yep , unless you installed (and applied) the theme through theme manager which then you could simply install (and apply) or revert to your old one (same for launchers).

as memoix said install theme restore package or flash the whole rom without wiping.
Thank you so much guys. Done it and worked perfect. Then reinstalled the ICS theme and worked. Another noob question. The Kitchen app shows kernels available to download, if I do download it from there and install, is this a no wipe or would it wipe everything from my handset? Which kernel do you recommend?
Also I know it ain't as smooth as my friends one.
No wipe. Leave the same kernel or speedmod for stability.
I went to download rom on the Kitchen app, I am pretty sure I've got the latest version. It says that there's an update and tries to download but always stops around the 30% mark. Is this update an error?

Since I can't post in the development thread, can someone let me know if CheckRom will have an update soon for ICS. In a related query, why does the update on the kitchen app for the rom stop downloading after a while....
Does anyone else's home screen swipe lag a bit?
