Root synidate theme

How do I go back to the previous theme if I don't like the one I just added? And is this just like flashing a new ROM where I should make a nandroid backup?

If you don't like the theme you're on, just flash the theme you want. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik 3X. You can make a nandroid backup if you want, but you don't have to. You should be ok.
 
Nevermind. Found one. I'll look for others, too. :)

edit..haha..shoulda refreshed teh page before I posted. I posted the same one.
 
Welp, my phone didn't like that. Was fine til I tried to restore all my apps/data through Titanium. :(

Alot of problems happen when you restore apps after flashing a ROM. I make it safe practice by just reinstalling them from the market or source one at a time. This way you can know what rogue app doesnt like the ROM or what not. :p

It was fine with the rom, but not fine with the theme. :( But for some reason, my phone wiped all my apps/data somewhere in the process of applying the theme.

Now that I have successfully restored everything, should I be able to wipe cache/delvik and flash the theme, or will it wipe all my stuff again? I mean, is it normal for flashing a theme to wipe your apps/data?

I think your problem stems from installing both apps and data. Try just the apps. I'm not 100% sure, but I think when your reinstall data, it can contain bits and pieces that correspond with old roms/themes and cause fc's.
 
When you batch apps and data w Titanium, it starts with all the apps first. It was in the middle of restoring the apps...hadn't started on data yet. But I will try doing them all separately next time.

cant comment on titanium never using it, but I always run a back up through CWM3 and it restores it just fine after flashing a theme.
And I always wipe the cache and delvick before flashing a theme and never have any problems.
Try using the back up with CWM3 and see if that works maybe?

I did, and it didn't restore much at all. But then, it was the backup that it automatically did during the root process. I have not tried just rebooting into cwm, telling it to backup, and then wiping and restoring.

With Titanium, it restores almost everything, even your settings. The only thing I have to still go in and fix is my ringtone/notification sounds.

see with a nandroid backup (at least for me) i dont have to mess with anything after backing it up, it restores all apps and setting everything. i try and make a backup a week just to keep it updated. love it.
 
Okay, I will do that...save a backup regularly and try it the next time.

When u guys flash a theme, do u wipe data or just cache and delvik?
