however i dont know how to get rid of it. if anyone can help me with this please let me know.
I just want to run my Supra ROM.
Boot into recovery. Wipe cache and Dalvik only. Do not wipe data. Then reflash your Supra rom and reboot.
thanks!! i also want to delete the theme .zip file. how will i go about that?
Just delete it from your wherever you put it on your sd card with a file explorer.

do i do that before or after i reFlash my ROM again?
sorry if im asking too many questions, i just want this to do this without making a mistake
It doesn't matter in what order you do it. When you flashed that theme, it updated the files in your rom with the themed files from the .zip and that .zip has just been sitting on your card doing nothing since then.
oh okay thank you so much!

Hi, I'm a new root user, and I was trying to get LiveWallpapers to work on my rooted Droid Eris. I flashed the .zip file and the package apparently came with the Nexus Lockscreen also. I later discovered that LiveWallpapers just won't work on a Sense ROM, but I'd like to revert back to the Sense Lockscreen if possible. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

did you do a nandroid backup before flashing the .zip file? this is a must must must lol if you didnt the easiest way is to boot to recovery wipe data and dalvik and reflash and and make sure to do a backup. and what sense ROM are you using that doesnt support lwp

You can also pull HtcLockScreen.apk out of your rom's zip file and push it to /system/app/
Will this just revert back to original factory settings?
Oh, I guess i used the Stock Android 2.1 w/ Root Access.
Perhaps I should just load different ROM.
I found the HtcLockScreen.apk in the zip file, and threw it on my SD card, but i'm not sure what to do now. I tried using eoeAppInstaller but it said Install not successful. Not sure I quite understand what you mean by pushing the file to /system/app/

no need to put it on your sd card its useless there if im correct and if anyone more professional than me can verify you need to use command promt to run the adb app in your android sdk file and if thats the case search the threads for adb to answer your question
try here there are several that are based on sense and will let u set livewallpaper and have the slide lock that you seek just read up on them

Some themes will include a second flashable .zip that will allow you to go back to the base rom. If this is not the case for the theme you chose, then you would have to either restore a nandroid backup or reflash the rom itself.

Either you restore the nandroid backup you made before you flashed the theme or you make your own theme restore if you can't get one from the theme dev. What rom are you on and what theme did you flash?

Hi guys. I was wondering a few things. When you theme your phone successfuly, Im under the asumption that if you re-theme it with another them it goes right on top of it correct? How do you remove a theme and is it possible to do that? Or if there are different thems out there you like, how do you go about switching them out? Just keep putting them on top of eachother? Any advice would be great. Thanks guys.

I appreciate the link. But all its showing me is how to actually create a theme. I cant find where the answers to my questions are for the person that just installs the themes but doesnt make them?
Depending on what version of software you are running (1.26, 1.57, 1.83 ATT) I think the best method to completely re-theme is to use a program like Titanium Backup * Root, free version from the market, to back up your apps and data. SBF flash the proper version of deodexed files for your current software version to completely eradicate the current theme. After that apply your new theme and then re-install Titanium Backup to restore your apps and data.
You will most likely need to use gingerbreak to regain root after flashing the SBF. Since this will, most often, result in a clean wipe of your internal and external SD card, make sure to back them both up to your computer before flashing the SBF and proceeding. That way you can just put anything back onto the internal or external memory that isn't put back by titanium.
Putting one theme on top of another really won't hurt anything most of the time, but if the new theme doesn't use all of the same files as the previous theme did then you will end up with items from the old version that weren't replaced.

You can pull fresh copies of everything that the themes change (framework-res.apk, services.jar, blur-res.apk, are the main ones) and make a CWM update with those in it. Then you can install a theme, and in order to uninstall it all you need to do is go into CWM and use the backup update.zip.
To switch themes, I just keep all themes I have downloaded in a folder called THEMES on my phone. I just boot into CWM and use the backup .zip I made, then I install the new theme .zip and reboot.
If your talking about Gingerblur/Grey blur I think a SBF flash would be your best way to uninstall.
Thanks for the tip guys. I actually had GingerBlur installed before but wasnt all that fond of it. I went ahead and flashed the sbf of 1.8.3 back. Now I have the HoneyGlow theme installed and actually I like it a lot. I was just wondering what its like re-flashing themes over top of themes. I have Tansfers (I think thats the name) Recovery already installed with root access. I got the files already saved on the computer, but thats good advice to put the updates in folders on the phone and do it that way.
Yes, now On im gonna take that external SD card out when I flash. I also tried using Titanium and having a hard time with understanding how it works fully lol.

yes you can flash new themes on top of old ones. They just replace various framework files. all themes modifies the same set of framework files pretty much. so when you flash on top, it overwrites the current one with the new one, that's it. the important thing to remember is to flash a theme meant for your rom because framework files can change from rom to rom, so you may get bootloops (soft bricks) if you flash incompatible frameworks.
I did something stupid...
I deleted the Ringtonepicker.apk out of my root. So now when i go into the settings and try to change my rintone or notification via the sound tab, i get a force close.
Can anyone upload that .apk for me or point me to it?
Thanks guys.

Im running a custom rom, KingCobra 1.7 (Im a Rogers GSM user). And i rather not go through the process as i just got my phone setup how i like.
is there no way of getting the .apk back?
Please anyone with root, just go into /system/app and grab the ringtonepicker.apk
and upload that file.
This would seriously help me out....

FYI...just do a dirty flash - re-flash the rom with just a cache/dalvik clear. you won't have to set everything back up.
Modified the rom and i dont have the file i flashed again. I really just need that ringtonepicker.apk.
There is a method to my madness. If all else fails i will just reflash kingcobra 1.7 and re-do my mods, but its such a simple .apk replace that i cant believe nobody can do it.
Im about to flash an old nandroid just to pull that .apk, then reload my current backup just to put in that .apk.
But if someone could just up that file it would save me some hassle.

Sorry, but I am on CDMA so I would think the apk would be different for GSM. Here are the ringtone apks - just not sure if they will work on GSM.

Redownload the ROM you have, pull the ringtonepicker.apk out of the ROM. You've been told how to do it 4 times, I can't believe you can't do it.
We aren't here to do the work for you bud..
Once you flash a .zip file such as a ROM or a mod can you delete the .zip off of your sd card?
Yeah, you can delete anything after you flash it. But if you think you ever need to reinstall i suggest keeping it.
Doesn't matter if you delete
thank you!
