Problem with Themes Not Installing

I thought this was maybe a problem with the theme I downloaded, but I've tried 5 other themes now, and it's the same story. I'm running RC1, and am using RC1 themes.
I download a theme, place it on SD, wipe cahce and dalvik, install, reboot...and nothing happens. I go into themes and the same 3 are still there...I try going through each of the 3 themes, and they aren't what I've downloaded.
So what is going on?

anyone, anyone? Bueller?

Are you trying to install themes that can be used with the theme chooser? Or are they flashable zip files? Because if they are for the theme chooser the theme is a .apk and needs to be installed like a app. You can do this using most any file explorer.

I have tried both flashing them in recovery, and installing them through the market. None of them work. You go into "theme chooser" and the same 3 are still there that show up when I've flashed the ROM.
I've tried this with the RC build, and the nightly build of CM7...none of them work.

Name the themes...it may help isolate the cause?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

- Bliss
- Honeycomb
- R2D2
- Mixer
- Monochrome
- Frost

Which are zip files and which are apk files?
Mixer and honeycomb alpha v3 are apk files installed as true blue stated earlier. R2D2 is zip file that is flashed but not sure if working on nightlies since RC1. Others I do not know of....

Honeycomb is the only one I've gotten from the market...the rest I've flashed in recovery.

The honeycomb theme from the market is an adw theme. The others that you flash will not show in the theme Chooser. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Oh, ok well I'll try that.
But that doesn't explain why when I flash things, it doesn't show up in theme chooser.

Flashed zipped files do not show up in theme Chooser. Theme Chooser themes are apk files.
Adw themes show up in adw settings and choose theme.
In short, tmo/cm7 theme engine (theme Chooser app) only accepts apk files themed for this engine. Some are on the market and some are available through searching.

ok with that being said
how would you explain the themes not showing up once they are flashed through cwm?
for example for me...i flash Bliss in cwm for cm7 RC1 and as soon as the phone boots it shows the new theme
but in Bballs case the new theme he flashed doesnt show at all...even though he followed the same steps as i did...flashing Bliss in cwm on cm7 RC1
any idea why its not working for him?

Let's think it through. All things being equal prior to flashing the theme, what possible causes are there? First, bad download. Second, things are not equal prior to flash of theme. E.g., some settings or theme each phone has set is different (system or cyanbread for example). Some ideas??
Where is this bliss theme?

well i know for at least me
i flashed Bliss on a fresh cm7 install...so the system theme was the current theme...other than that it was a normal install that i flashed Bliss
now Bball may be different...but im pretty sure he tried also on a fresh cm7 install...but i wont assume...im sure he can fill you in on what he did
EDIT: just to clarify my fresh install was cm7 RC1 and nothing else...no faux kernels or other icons or themes....flashed cm7 RC1 then after boot and initial setup i booting back into cwm and flashed the Bliss theme

[FIX] Battery Icon <60% (racht's Floyo 0.25)

This should fix the battery icon when the stat is below 60% (the icon become red).
just rewrite framework-res.apk to /system/framework.
(like installing a theme)
how to:
make a BACKUP first.
download the framework-res.apk here
and follow the steps how to push it to /system/framework here
i know many others already know how to do this.
i hope this will help you.

its good. so I will test it

well mate it works! Thanks a lot.

It works well.Thank you a lot!

Is the attached framework-res.apk already rewrite? I mean is this the file to overwrite the existing framework-res.apk in the rom?

you can do this yourself. Just make a copy of this, and rename the apk to zip. make a copy of the zip file
extrace and then locate the png files and do some photoshop!
Then replace the contents with the new files in the zip file (I dont recommend zipping the contents. Just replace the zip's content)
you can make your own animation.!

Try to do it yourself.
if you are using froyobread:
do a BACKUP
1. go to xrecovery
2. go to backup & restore > backup
3. when its done, reboot phone
4. then, apply this
5. see if it works. if its not, restore your system.
and you cannot change racht's floyo 0.25 bootanimation. coz i tried it myself, not working. i think the hackdroid logo is a splash screen.

Hey guys... I have got a problem with this fix: When I installed the framework and my mobile rebooted, it said that many applications processes like LauncherPro and Android phone weren't working, I pressed on Close, but they always came to the first position, so I restored it, and now I'm scared... Hahahaha, what can I do?

thnks man.awesome

Thanks for this fix!

Thanks... You just save my day. Manage to change that framework from phone terminal emulator since I don't have Android SDK install in my laptop.

Transparent Status bar

Anyone try it with Mik's CM7 and flashing it without CWM recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102755

I want this, I don't like the black status bar, it makes my screen looks smaller and I don't like to hide it.

It should work, but I don't have CWM Recovery so I'm on the fence to try it out..

Yea. There's an update.zip file which I tried. Makes the status bar transparent with multi picture live wallpaper. Flashed with CWM.but there's no easy way to go back..

I have used it for a very long time ( when I had 6.5.2 ) ..... but it is not updated for 6.5.4 :-(
It replaces the systemui.apk ... so I guess only those who have 6.5.2 will be able to use it
For returning to black statusbar, backup systemui.apk and replace via adb.

Ahh ok guys. Not worth the trouble I guess?

You have to deodex Mik's or Andy's rom for this.
Did this last night, the theme is awsome!
I'm now on Andy's CM7.0.3 RC4.1 with this theme. Awsome!
So the procedure:
Take the rom in linux or windows with cygwin and jdk.
Load it into the kitchen.
Deodex it with the kitchen.
Flash the new packed rom.
Instal the theme.
Flash your own patch made with the patcher for MEIZU.
...
???
Profit!

is it possible with standard android 2.2.2 to have transparent status bar?

For all you guys that flash the patch, don't use the multi-pic live wallpaper. If on ADW, take off the wallpaper hack in the settings, and you will get it. I even think that LauncherPro has it too.

All I want is the.transparent status bar how do I apply ? nevermind i see should of read more

Mik's Rom isn't deodexed.
This patch needs a deodexed rom to work. So you first have to deodex it. If you want I can deodex it and upload it for you. Had the same problem, I'm using the same the but with andy's CM7. Tried it with mik's first, deodexed it and the patch worked. But then I switched the rom.

Here's the deodexed version: http://www.multiupload.com/4EDXYIMXMA

^ I dont know what yuo've done but on flashing your rom, only 200-700kb is free on the internal memory! where as other wise its above 30mb!
somebody do something to make that transperant bar work with cm7 6.5.4!!!

What about neojn devoid froyo rom, can we get transparent bars too

Froyo roms don't support transparency in the statusbar as far as I know.
They are missing the SystemUI.apk in whichs classes.dex the class for the Statusbar is in which one variable has to be changed.

okk its working for me...
S1ckness(thnkz to him) above posted deodexed version of miks 6.5.4 download tht first
1- backup your data using tb. boot into recovery wipe all ur data do fresh install
cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mik-6.5.4-deodexed.zip
2- after installing reboot..
3-again reboot into recovery
3- install this small patch(zip file) download the attachment (i extracted system.ui.apk and framework.res.apk from the above rom and patched it through UOT Kitchen)
4- reboot
5- install a zunes them (meizu_v8_0_for_cm7_by_zdunex25-d3h0m0i.zip) theme given in 1st post.. (Extract MEIZU_MDPI_by_Z25 from the zip + wallpaper.png)
6- to make it work if u are on ADW launcher in its setting untick wallpaper hack..
7-if using launcher pro(like me) download multi live wallpaper from market nd set a single image(wallpaper.png or any wallpaper from ur gallery thru multi live wallpaper) as a wallpaper using multilive wallpaper.. You can find multilive wallpaper in live wallpaper section after installing it.
for me its working great. am using the 6.5.4 miks rom posted by the guy above some post + franco v17 cfs kernel + dark tremor data2sd.. trust me its working awesum...

here are my screens

Honestly if lp user have to use multilive wallpaper then its actually not worth it. Multilive wallpaper isn't that lite. Makes scrolling and stuff laggy for lp. It should be like you can use any any wallpaper without multilive and should work.. perhaps sometime somewhere in future. But this method isn't just worth it.

[Q]XXKQB themes

When I install XXKQ7 theme on XXKQb it's wrong?
(sorry for my bad english)

I'm not sure but it could cause FC's, you can try to make a nandroid backup and then flash a KQ7 theme, if it fails just restore the backup.
but RavoxX is making a KQB version of ICS, and I don't know about fadzlihellmuths themes, we'll see ;P

Thank you Broodplank1337

[MOD] Statusbar Tweaks for Stock firmware **DISCONTINUED**

DISCONTINUED. New updates on this THREAD
Hello!
I'm parasmi from the Galaxy Mini Forum.
Just want to share this mod to the Galaxy Ace users
This mod adds customization to statusbar clock, battery, and signal. It also includes Battery Bar and will enable you to change statusbar background color and transparency (needs root access). It's accessible via Setings > Statusbar Tweaks
I don't have an Ace but I tested it on my phone using your DDKQ8 firmware. No guarantee in will work on other firmwares.
As always, flash at your own risk! Backup is a must!
Credits:
RomanBB for Statusbar Tweaks sources
pvyParts for additional Statusbar Tweaks sources and Battery Bar
Screenshots (taken from my ROM) HERE and HERE
@ROM cooks - if you will use this in your ROM, please give proper credit and add a link to this post.
Enjoy!
Installation notes:
-Again, your firmware should be DDKQ8
-You should know if you have an odex or de-odex firmware
-You only need to install 1 zip file from the attachment. It will depend if you are using CWM or Stock Recovery AND if you have an odex or de-odex system
If the zip file doesn't work, try manual installation -
1. Extract the contents of the appropriate zip file
2. Using Root Explorer, copy the extracted APKs to your phone's /system/app/ folder. Override files if prompted
3. Set permissions as attached
4. Reboot
5. To use custom fonts, create a folder /system/TEAM/font/ and place any font file a rename it to 'clock_font.ttf'. Set permissions as attached

Reserve just in case

I use Lovetz's Odexed CyanogenMod 7.2-cooper-KANG-RC1-Android 2.3.7 on DDKQ8, and installed this in a hurry (cause I've been hungering for transparent status bar for a long time). But after reboot, I lost settings option from the menu. As you adviced, I used odex patch and its an odexed Rom over DDKQ8 base, so whats wrong? Its not for CM7?
