I believe we have to use XPosed for all ROM theming. I have a guide in my signature.

I'm gonna jump on the locked sprint version. Just wanted to make sure that i understood before I flashed. You're saying that after flashing it, it is Not rooted? Also, are there any known issues I shouldn't worry about?
I really appreciate the work you do here. Thanks.

If you flash this and it doesnt work, what do you do then? We dont have an SBF for 2.3.5 do we and this will lock your bootloader and prevent a downgrade.

If rooted and bootstrap recovery works, shouldn't we be able to flash a nandroid backup to downgrade? I'm not sure if either of these are possible so I'll wait before trying anything.

I dont believe so. Once you install the new bootloader, youre stuck.
I want to give this a whirl, I just want to make sure I have a fallback before I do.
Ok, I flashed and it and it seemed ok ...I could not access settings....everything else was ok ...I made a backup first but now when I try to get into bootstrap to restore it doesn't work.....I was locked with root and bootstrap....but I am now stuck....any help ??????
I installed root checker and I am rooted .......just fyi ........stilll cant figure out how to restore nandroid.....

bootstrap is not working at all? or the restore is failing?

Bootstrap is not working .....i did my nandroid with bootstrap first.....

Is there a way to stay stock and just do the menu button mod to get rid of that stupid bar at the bottom of the screen? I don't want to flash a new rom just yet.
Thanks in advance......

Fully stock, meaning unrooted and locked? No.
If you root, unlock, and load twrp recovery, you can flash the deodexed stock rom from this thread, then flash Runandhide05's zip from this thread (the second one down is the one you're looking for, I think). That will still give you the pure stock experience, but with the mod you're looking for.
Thanks. I figured that I would have to root but I wasn't sure if I could just mod the stock rom or if I need to flash another one.
Thanks again for the answer.
I think the issue is the stock rom is not deodex. The mod requires a deodex rom or someone needs to make the mod compatible with odex, which I have no clue if that's possible.
It was 95% of the reason I decided to unlock my phone sooner than I was planning. The mod really does feel like the way HTC designed the phone to work but then was strong armed into going in the direction they ended up.
i thought he could just root the phone.. not unlock the bootloader.. just root and then u can use root explorer.. am i wrong

I was kinda thinking the same thing. But while you can put a modded apk like systemUI in an odex ROM, and just delete the associated odex file, and you can edit the keypress in the kl file with root explorer, apparently part of the mod is in android.policy.jar, which , apparently you'll need to be deodexed to use the existing modded one.

i put a theme from metamorph on my transformer prime and now the home button and the whole system bar is gone.. please help me
What theme did you apply? Can you post a link?
I would assume that you are rooted and unlocked, correct? Do you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed? Can you boot to that?

i rooted it but didnt unlock it, i think all i need is a stock systemui.apk but i cant find one anywhere
Virtuous will have the most recent stock systemui.apk in it's zip... just download and pull it out.
Sent from my Atrix
Ok I have been reading and if someone can confirm what i think is the case that would be great.
we can theme system ui apk but not the framework apk.
we can not adb fonts if we are on a locked bootloader, having root is not enough.
so with a locked bootloader and root only we are limited to what zip's we can flash or what apk we can adb.
of course no hacked kernels with locked bootloader.
thanks guy's.
You can do anything with /system on locked boatloader if you're rooted. The reason why you can't theme the frameworks is because no one deodexed it successfully.

hear hear..
@hackit
main thing that can not do in locked bootloader is pushing kernel.
How could you conclude that with rooted phone can not theme the phone?
do you have this problem? rooted and cannot them?

No I have not tried yet. Just haven't seen much as far a themes for locked bootloaders.
I found a few posts on the HTC and Samsung threads about decompiling ics systemui.apk. I have already done work on the framework.apk.
But with saying that I have yet tried to recompile framework. So it may not work. Fingers crossed.
When and if I get a working theme ill share.

I recently received a replacement phone and was bummed out to learn that it is a lot harder if not impossible to unlock the bootloader in this version.
What options do I have to get onto an AOSP rom? I have already rooted using towelroot by using the method for NG6.
Once rooted can I just flash cwm or something and go from there?
I really, really hate touchwiz guys.. :crying:

I'm stuck in the same boat. Cynanogen won't work. Some ROM that works with Safestrap is needed. I can't find a ROM, so I am debloating this thing like crazy.

There are multiple threads available that would answer the questions in great detail. No you can't flash CWM or TWRP, Safestrap is our only option. Nor can you use pure AOSP ROMs as we can't flash custom kernels so...touchwhiz it is. If you are looking for AOSP
look and feel then I would recommend Eclipse. Empty Galaxy 4.4.2 is also very nice (not really AOSP themed) and comes with Nova Launcher baked in. Blackbox is also a solid AOSP hybrid Rom and so is Chaos.
