is making/restoring a nandroid backup the proper (official) way to get rid of an unwanted theme?
are there other or better ways to do it?
thanks
Just flash the new theme you want it will overwrite the theme, you can go into the phone and delete the old file but they are so little why bother

thanks but dont want to flash a new theme... just want to know how to get back to original ROM theme
Did you make a nandroid backup?
Does the theme have a revert zip?
Flash the rom again last resort.

Well some/most themes nowadayz have a flashable revert that will remove the theme....another way is to restore a Nandroid (that you should've made prior to flashing a theme)
Last resort is to push the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, Phone.apk...etc....all stock apks from your ROM package back to your phone and reboot....or just re-flash your ROM

Hi all.
My phone is running on XXKPH deodexed, with CF-Root addition (as seen on my signature) and all working fine.
I just flashing a new theme (Honeycomb KPH) then I found my phone getting bootloop, so I had to restore to the original theme. I tried to flashing a new theme again (Dark MIUI KPH) and get bootloop again, I've restore the original theme again.
My question is, how to apply theme successfully without getting bootloop again and again?
Thanks for your help.
Did you mount system before flashing new theme?

If ur using CWM to flash themes u may experience problems as those themes u tried aren't compatible with CWM3 and above, I had the same problem so now I'm stuck with stock theme until Ginger real is released

I had the same problem. Couldnt do anything about it. I had already backed up my rom before flashing. So got my ace running again.
Yeah I'm currently using CWM. Thanks for your information, I'll try to apply manually with Root Explorer...
I installed a custom theme and was wanting to try out a different one. I am on the UnNamed 1.0.3 rom, btw. Do I have to revert to the stock 1.0.3 theme before flashing a new one in CWM or can I just flash the new one without reverting?
Thanks.

You can just flash the new one. When you flash a theme, it replaces system files. Flashing a new theme will just replace the old theme files.
Thanks for the quick answer! You guys here are the best with helping out. I have always been an iPhone person, from the original to the 4, but finally wanted something new that I could actually mess around with. I can't believe it took me so long to go android!

Lol....that's what a lot of people say.
The only thing is, that some themes may not "theme" all of the same applications. So if you have a situation where one part of an old theme was retained, it means your new theme didn't change everything that maybe another theme chose to customize. In this situation, there are ways to revert that part to stock or even to a different theme. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there lol.
Good luck.
If you end up changing themes alot, you can always just flash the rom again and then do whatever theme you wanted. Flashing a rom will always undo all theme changes.
Let's say I was to flash the same rom again (UnNamed 1.0.3). Would I need to do a wipe first? Thanks again for all the help.

Generally, no. Most people will say yes. If you're updating from UnNamed to a newer version of it, then no.
where can i find the original theme that my vibrant came with, its rooted so any ideas?
Do you just want the theme, or do you want to flash back to stock?

just the theme. flash back to stock is when you want to unroot right?
Themes are very rom specific. You should probly turn to the themes and apps forum to find a stock theme that matches the rom your using. Read the op carefully to make sure the theme matches. The forum search icon will help narrow your list.
hey guys there is a stupid question..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467814
in this rom you can decide between themes..
so if you took an and flashed it, how can you return to the standard one?
That Rom uses jkays mods so if you are asking how to restore a stock theme on that Rom then jkay always has a stock theme to go with his mods. If apps are themed then you can research that in that thread.
If your asking how to restore stock Rom then search intratechs thread. It's all there.

If you are on a certain ROM and flash a theme and want to go back what you need to do is re-flash the "stock theme" again.You will need to ask the Dev if he has the Stock Theme to reflash.To avoid not being able to go back then you could make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM so if you want it will always be there just incase no-one has the Stock Theme to re-flash again.
Well, I'm on rooted stock, and I want to be able to install the original task switcher instead of using the HTC one as well as other things that involve being deodexed. So my question is how do I deodex? Is it easier for me to just go ahead and install a stock, deodexed ROM or is there a flashable zip that does it for me?
I'm not sure where to go from here on this since I was using a Galaxy Nexus and didn't have to really worry about this stuff since I could just easily flash a package or get a new ROM without having to worry about really anything at all.
Thanks!
Anything?

Thanks for that, but the thing is, I currently can't backup/restore everything. I was just wondering if there's a flashable zip to take care of it.
Say I do flash that ROM over top of my current stock rooted ROM, what will happen? Anything dreadful?

If you can flash a ROM, why can't you backup your current one?
