[Q] removing a zip file i flashed to a partition?? - Motorola Droid RAZR

so i have flashed cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and the corresponding gapps. when finding the perfect theme i wanted on my phone, i found that i needed to flash a particular zip file to make the theme work. now everytime i try to open the theme chooser it force closes the settings. is there a step i forgot? this is the second time i have done this and each time it takes about an hour for all my apps to download and update and i really dont wana have to do this again.
is there a way to just remove the contradicting zip file that seems to be hindering my theme chooser?
the last time i had cm10.1.3 on my phone with only gapps flashed, theme chooser worked without falter. im 99% positive i just need to remove the added zip file. any help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and i have tried wiping cache/delvik.

[MOD] DL09 AOSP/Puzzle Lock with Reboot Options (added accurate batt)

This mod is specifically for DL09. If you are on DJ05, you can find a similar mod here.
Most themes already have reboot options added, but if you're like me you prefer the stock theme. Because there have been no releases of the reboot options mod since DL09, I took the time today and added it to the DL09 framework (specifically the android.policy.jar, framework.jar, and framework-res.apk). Once it was added, I realized very quickly that there was a problem--it only worked with the stock glass/puzzle lock. This is because stupid me used a stock deodoxed android.policy.jar and not Adrynalyne's modified one from Supah Clean. So, I pulled the policy from Adrynalyne's ROM, edited it to work with the reboot options, and repackaged it with my prior edits to the framework.jar and framework-res.apk. End result: it worked!
Precaution
You must be deodexed for this mod to work! Don't even try to flash this on stock. If you don't know if you are deodexed, use a file manager and go to system>app and see if you see any .odex files. If you do, you're not deodexed. If you don't, you're deodexed.
Credits
(1) Untermensch - the original creator of the mod for the Vibrant. It was his guide I used to do this.
(2) Adrynalyne - as mentioned above, I used his android.policy.jar from Superclean as a base.
For those who are not familiar, I have attached a picture below to show you what the reboot options look like. Basically, they give you the ability to reboot, reboot recovery, and reboot download mode. Again, these can be found in just about every theme. Their purpose here is to give you the option to apply them to a stock theme.
Below are the zips to apply the mod. Simply flash via CWM and enjoy!
EDIT 1: I pulled the original zips because weird **** was happening when flashed over a theme. I realized later that all I needed to do was add the stock twframework-res.apk to update script to fix the problem. You now should be able to flash this over any theme you have already applied.
EDIT 2: Added accurate (circle) battery. I pulled images from one of the themes .... can't remember which.
Can somebody mirror this or, Ben, can you place a dif link? Totally would love the aosp with reboot options but I.get a dropbox error....something about files are safe but...( i.can't remember the rest). Thanx in advance

Use Root Explorer and go to Data>Local. Create a file (not folder) named enable_glass_lock. You can also simply flash the zip again (just don't wipe data after doing so). There is no need to wipe data before or after applying this mod.
So I can just flash this over my stock dl09 with otb voodoo 1.3ghz kernel and I get that sicc battery and reboot options and nothing else changes?

Well I ddnt wait long enough for you to reply haha I gave it a go not because of the reboot options but more for the battery circle. So I installed the puzzle lock option on my stock dl09 non deodexed stock rom runing otb voodoo oc 1.3ghs stock voltage and I selected to backup to be on the safe side. It backed up everthing then abortd installation so it said!!! After installation said aborted it sat at the backup screen so I held down all three buttons cause I hate raking my battery covr off. Ebooted phone. Flawless everything works perfect with that cool battery circle but I do not have the reboot options. Don't mind though just wanted my battery percentage in the status bar. So just to let everyone know at least you get half the mod haha. I'm happy. I am not deodexed cause I've done so much to this phone and just don't wanna start over. If someone know how to get me deodexed without starting over id appreciate it. If I'm saying something wrong forgive me as I'm not an expert in this. I mainly mess with my viewsonic g tab. I would alo like to just get my status bar black in color. But don't care to change anything else. But would deal with minor changes just don't wanna lose stuff and have to start over.
Thanks a lot

You could try xeudoxus on droid forums xUltimate, it's really easy to use and it just adb pulls files from your phone, deodexes them then you adb push them back. dont worry there are instructions on how to if you need the help, he also has an xUltimate that helps you edit hex codes for color changes on your apk and jar files, again instructions are available. here is the link with the info, and if you get stuck during the process there are read me files and a link supplied in the files to his site. Happy Modding
xeudoxus xUltimate
@DaleV I bet he may have figured it out since january.
@lord dredd, Hit the thanks button instead of bringing up an old thread that only may apply to your unique situation and try not to confuse new people with 6 month old threads.
good day.
Im looking for this exactly but for the EB05 build. Does it exist somewhere else? I'd even settle for just the AOSP lock screen.....

[Q] help on uninstalling a CM 6.1.3 V054 related zip???

hello,
yesterday i installed wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V054 and really liked the look of it, then i installed a certain zip (not sure which one it was from the wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V054 thread, but it changed the dialer to the arc style and got rid of the colour icons in the setup menu etc) and dont like the look of it, is there a way i can uninstall the zip or do i have to flash the whole rom again and start from scratch? i installed all of the extras zips on the wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V054 thread page, so if someone could tell me the name of the zip that changed the look and feel then that would be great!
i would also like to know if there is a way to either change the clear background to white on the blue version of the market, or just revert to the normal green version? the blue version was also installed with a zip file in xrecovery.
thanks in advance,
woopypants
Well first of all if you don't know which zip file and where it is located, unfortunately you have to factory reset, wipe cache partion, wipe dalvik cache and battery status. Then install the Rom then the update and other zip files all from scratch but this won't take long.
Secondly if you don't like the blue market just flash new market and not the new blut transparent one.
Hope this helped
thanks for your reply, i the location of the zip file (its just on the sd card) and am pretty sure i know which zip file i want to 'unzip' so basically i just need to know if its possible to get rid of a certain file (as in unzip it, if there even is such a thing).
thanks for the tip on the market too
actually i realise know which file it must have been- "arc icon and ui.zip". just for future reference i would like to know if there is a way of unzipping a file, or should i just do a backup everytime before i uninstall a zip, so that if i dont like it then i have something to revert back to instead of having to reinstall the rom everytime.
By default, the dialer for wolf's rom has always been the arc dialer...so if you want to get rid of it, the best thing to do would be to flash over a theme like matted blues.
well you can install themes to cover them if you don't like them
eg. X HC theme by SEMPITERNAL

[Q] Theme compactable with Khalpower V4 GalaxyXT ROM

Since I saw some AMAZING themes but I was unable to install'em, I wanna ask if somebony is able to link some themes which are compactable with Khalpower's V4 GalaxtXT ROM, couse I tryed like 20-25 themes and from all only DarkFroyo V2 and 1 more works.
Thanks alot!
The Honeycomb-theme works fine on V4 (except that you need to replace the keyboard with some keyboard from the Market, but that's the only bug there is).

Kahl has this one posted somewhere in one of his threads. It replaces the stock LatinIME.apk & works fine. Just copy the zip to openrecovery/updates boot into Open Recovery, appy the update, wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partitions & reboot.

When i try to apply the galaxyxtv4 theme update, it does not work! i still have the red theme and i dont know what to do anymore. Isnt that how one apply a theme? am i missing something?
I believe others had issues with that update too. If you're running the PersonaRedv4 I think you can just restore the system partition from KP full GalaxyXTv4 (nandroid restore) & wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partition & reboot.
I was wondering... if I install propper theme which works woth this rom but replace apps from other theme (and apps are more - 6 in compactable theme and about 20 in that one that I will replace with), so will it work as it works with bootanimation, couse if I keep the working theme but put difetent bootanimation it still works.
I'd give a guarded yes. If the filenames of the apps you want to replace match EXACTLY (e.g. maps.apk is not the same as Maps.apk) then they will be overwritten. If they don't match your best bet is probably to remove the apps you want to replace before installing the new ones. You will be limited as to the size of the system partition so adding files as system apps could be problematic but replacing one modded app with another should generally be OK. Another thing to note is (I think) not all apps can be installed as system apps. Note that it is always a good idea to do a nandroid backup before you try making the changes so (when) things go wrong (and they will ) you can get back to a functioning device as painlessly as possible.
Hi guys.
I'm looking for a working Gingerbread Theme for the V4XT rom.
Could you please help me?
Thanx in advance.
I was wondering if this one coud work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9784619&postcount=13
I was previously used it on my original 2.1 Rom and it was absolutely perfect.
I have today tried to install many themes with the new khalpower v4.
Result was the follwing: I was able to get a decent outcome. Keyboard bug could be fixed but after a couple of theme flashes things started to get weired. First my gmail app stopped working.
After that I only got jibberish as fonts so that I was unable to change languages or anything else for that matter.
I'd very much appreciate ports for the new v4. Right now I'm using the fix described above. Thanks so much! Worked like a charm

Problem parsing the package

Ok so I just unrooted my vibrant cause i like touchwiz and wanted to use it. Later on I downloaded an app and whhen i tried to install it it said problem parsing the package. So then went to use the apk i used before when i was rooted. Same error. I really dont want to go back to any custom rom to use this. Please help
Even the sims 3 that comes with the phone says problem parsing package
Rooting has nothing to do with it at all. What ROM are you on and what ROM are you coming from. Parsing issues come from signatures in the APK.
Example: ROM1 has a cool blue-colored app called Smellthefish.apk. You leave ROM1 and go to ROM2 and want to install Smellthefish.apk but it won't install from the market and you get a parsing error. You try to install the cool blue one from your TB backup and again get the parsing error. This is b/c ROM dev modded the Smellthefish.apk to MAKE it cool blue. When he did this he de-compiled the apk, edited the XML, resigned it and re-compiled it back and cooked it into his ROM.
What you need to do is uninstall Smellthefish.apk and then go into settings>manage apps and make sure it isn't there. Go into Market while you are in there and clear cache and data. (You may want to boot into recovery and clear /cache and /dalvik-cache too) Go back into market, sign in and now you should be able to download Smellthefish.apk and let the funny faces begin.
To dispel any rumors Smellthefish is not real and Rooting does nothing to your ROM but give you Root Permission, which means that you can get into files like /system, /data, /cache,...

clarification on installing Omega Rom

Hi Guys
I have decided my first Rom will be Omega.. hoping I an keep it for ages as I dont relish jumping from ROM to ROM.
I have read lots of posts about Omega and the official thread but I still cant seem to find a complete step by step installation guide.
is the newest version v28? it says on the thread (Indies thread)
Please read the following before flashing v28:
1. Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup, in case you need to restore it.
Uderstood
2. If you want to flash theme or kernel, please make sure first they are compatible with Jelly Bean Omega
Understood
3. Please update Omega Files to v1.03 from Play Store More additions to v1.03 will be added soon.
I have to download the Omega Files app BEFORE flashing the ROM?
4. Get New Play Store from here: Play Store v3.9.16 - install via CWM Recovery
Fine but when do I flash this? before or after flashing the ROM
5. Contacts mod with Greek index, download from here and flash it with CWM Recovery.
Dont know what this is about?
Ok clicked the link in the sig to be taken to where the Omege Roms are, there is JB and one for ICS. i assum its the JB one i go for if i want JB
do I flash using Odin or do I boot to recover and install from SD?
currently just running stock rom..all i have done do far is rooted phone installed CWM and Titanium and busybox oh and Rom Manger

Hi
Dl the omega .zip file, then flash it via the recovery.
The kitchen app must be updated after the flash. For the playstore, it's the same flash it after.
I don't know about the contacts. Maybe someone else can help you.
Don't worry, it's very simple with this rom, moreover you got AROMA so you will be able to choose some option at the installation.

3. If this is your first Omega install, then simply update the Omega Files App through playstore once your Omega install has been complete.
4. You can flash the playstore at any point before or after. I would suggest after you have installed Omega Rom.
5. If you dont know, prolly dont need it so dont worry about it. Sorry I personally have no clue what it is.
Reboot and flash zip via SD, Very easy to install with the Aroma Installer.
thanks done now with no prolems.. i think
however even though i went for the Bloatware removal installation and i did a factory reset through cwm recovery, then wiped cache then delvik cache, under storage it says i just have 6.5gb remaining even though the list above adds up to nothing really due to bloatware removal. seems the storage for my phone prior to flashing rom is still stored somehow?
Any thoughts on why and how i can fix this?
edit just installed es file explorer and under SD card all my apps are there prior to flashing ROM, although not showing in dock
I just deleted everything manually of the SF card
is Omega v28 supposed to be only have 11GB total space even wIth the bloat ware removed.mine shows 11GB free now thought it would be n more though
I am really looking the ROM though, quite slick.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
11gb sounds about right. It doesn't sound like the factory reset worked 100%.
Sounds like you got it sorted now.
Now enjoy adding themes and mods!
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
I am indeed
Just flashed Siyah Kernal, 15 toggles (love it), and Blue theme..
I need to just get my head around the Stweaks now so I can sensibly try some overclocking.. saw a guy on youtube who has this overclocking pull down notification with a nifty little schedule that could overclock/underclock depending on the situation. I'd love to know if that is something available through the Omega ROM?
Haven't heard of that app personally. ...
I have undervoted my phone to -50v and very impressed with battery life. Generally get 5+ hrs of screen time and 2 days on 1 charge.
Haven't tried overclocking as it runs smooth as is
Not sure which blue theme but give motomoto blue a go if your not using that 1
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
Yes its Mottomoto I haev installed. love it.
the overclock app I saw that lets you set profiles is called Android Overclock from Playstore. Its not free though its £1.49. looks like the one i saw though.. havent bought it. i'll see what I can do from the Stweaks first once I figure out how to use it
Once problem and it seems the only problem I see is that the battery life has depleted to 60 % since 7am. thats just a bit of browsing and installing the Siyah Kernal and Mottomoto theme and 15 toggles.
Normally I play resource intensive games on a 40 minute commute, plus calls, internet and streaming to spotify and on stock I would have close to 80% by the 9am.. and maybe 75% by now. so seems to be depleting rather fast. All connections off, sync off and auto brightness set to minimum..
any thoughts?.. I am using the Siyah Kernel from the Omege Kitchen.
