Just had a quick question about theming. After flashing a theme, is there a way to uninstall the theme if need be. I've been reflashing the whole rom if I didn't like a theme or wanted to change a theme. So I was wondering if there was an easier way?
Nope. That's the only way to get rid of a theme if you are currently running a theme and want to go to not running a theme at all, you have to flash the ROM by itself.
I used to make a nandroid backup before i flashed a theme and if i didn't like it just restore that backup.

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.

I'm guessing you are rooted currently, so you have to find a ROM that is deodexed, install that rom, then install the theme. I think you are trying to install the theme over non odex.
To get out of the bootloop, just delete data in recovery and restore a backup.
Thx u for quick response. So the theme work only on custom Deodexed rom? Well, i will find the custom rom n try it. Thx again
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).
One last question, do you know of any good sites/places for metamorph themes? Particularly HDPI zips, thanks!

Hi. I have installed Pardus HD version 4.1.2 S4 Edition FINAL. After finishing the installation, I have then installed Deluxe Settings through Play Store and have made some tweaking using it. Is that all that I need to be able to fully "enjoy" the greatness of the ROM?
If so, am I able to flashed another theme to this ROM as I am not a fan of the white S4 theme that has been included with the ROM?
Really hope to have an answer to this. I'm merely a noob and needs confirmation before I accidently brick my phone.
Thank you in advance!

You should be able to flash themes, it's not highly recommended to flash theme on an existing theme, but I do it all the time and I've never had a problem. The worst that could happen is the you get a bootloop, just reinstall the rom and that's it

Hi Danny. If I were to change the theme, I should get the theme that is compatible with the JKay Deluxe Settings that I have right? Its that all?
If I were to get bootloop, will I be able to easily go to Recovery mode?
Thanks in advance.

To fully use the customization that jkay provide you should flash jkay compatible themes like this one, this is my favourite... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165980.
Yeah, just hold volume up, menu and turn off key at the same time, and it will reboot in to recovery
I have a thread on the Galaxy S5 forum concerning custom toggle icons and backgrounds. It came to my attention that these will work for the note II after my doing a little tweaking. Here are a few that I tweaked with the rest being in my original thread. Feel free to check this thread out and if you like something maybe I can change it to work on the Note II.
This will also change your status bar icons.
If you want to keep your stock icons but like one of the backgrounds, the background alone can be sent in a zip as well.
If anyone is stock and rooted and will give me a copy of your systemui I'll make a restore zip.

Best to make a backup first. Also it should make a backup of your systemui under vrtheme-backup on your internal SD.
I believe it will work but there is no guarantee
hi. you say we have to perform "a little tweaking". what should I do to make this work on my note 2? thank you
I did the tweaking already.
Hi Tulsadiver
These themes toggles work for me on DittoNote 5.2 - thanks
sorry. my bad
Hi, VRilski! Thanks for testing these for me.
DN4 last built, wipe cache and dalwik, install zip....nothing happened !! What's wrong?
No need to wipe anything. Just flash.
You can upload your systemui if you like and I'll take a look at it.

Ah ok.. because I tried many times with different methods.
Thanks.

Are you asking or saying that it does? Are you 4.4.2 or 4.4.0? Do you have a custom recovery? If so, make a backup first or at least upload your systemui here so that you can restore it. It would be nice if you would upload your systemui any way so I can make a zip for restoring purposes for people that don't like the results. It should work but if it doesn't do anything I would be happy to look at your systemui to see why.
