Root [THEME] Halloween Theme for Megatron 6.0.4

After creating the Red-n-Black theme, I decided I wanted to do an orange and black theme for Halloween. While I haven't put as much work into this theme as I have my pride and joy, I still packed a lot of goodies into this theme. Enjoy. :) NOTE: There's a known issue where the default wallpaper doesn't change for some reason. Hard as I try, I can't figure out how to fix it, so I've included the file that was supposed to be the default wallpaper, and instructions on how to install it manually with ES File Explorer. WARNING: Some people have had issues with this theme on their phones. If that happens, you may need to do a fresh (re-)install of Megatron 6.0.4, then flash the theme. Also, your first boot-up after installing the ROM will take a few minutes, so be patient ;)

Halloween Theme - Click the theme to download.
Default Wallpaper - Download this if you want your phone to (more or less) match the screenshots.
Default Megatron Boot ani/sound - This theme changes the boot animation and sound, so I've included a zip to change it back.

Theme installation Instructions: The meat and potatoes of....um, well, the meat and potatoes that is this theme. :p
1. Download the theme, and move it to the SD card on your phone, if necessary.
2. Reboot into ClockWorkMod. Using Volume up to move up, Volume Down to go down, and the Power button to select, follow the next steps.
3. From the main menu, choose "Wipe cache > Yes - Wipe Cache". When that's finished, you should be returned to the main menu.
4. From the main menu, select "advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache > Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache". When the phone is finished, it should return you to the "advanced" menu. Select "+++++Go Back+++++" to return to the main menu.
5. From the main menu, select "install zip from sdcard > choose zip to install", navigate to where you copied or downloaded the theme zip to, select "Halloween-theme.zip > Yes - Install Halloween-them", and enjoy the show. :)
6. After the theme is finished installing, reboot the phone by choosing "reboot system now" from the main menu, and enjoy your eye candy :D

Default Wallpaper Installation Instructions: Just like olives in a martini, no theme is complete without a good wallpaper to go with it. :D
1. Download the default wallpaper file, and move it to your SD card, if necessary.
2. Using ES File Explorer (included with Megatron), navigate to where the file was saved.
3. View it using ES File Explorer's Image Browser, then press the menu button.
4. From the options that appear, select "Set Wallpaper", and use the box that appears to select the area of the photo you would like to use as your wallpaper.
5. Exit out of ES File Explorer, and you're done :)

Megatron Default boot ani/sound Installation After the Halloween party's over, we need some way to clean up the mess, right? ;)
1. Download the boot-ani-backup.zip, move it to your SD (if needed), and flash it like you would the theme, except clearing the cache and Dalvik aren't necessary.

Every time I wipe casch and dalvik I can't get past the boot anim... I have to restore a backup .... I got the theme installed but I had to flash black and white theme and then flash this one ... why will my phone not boot past anim when I wipe casches? Am I doing it wrong?

After you wipe cache and Dalvik it takes 2 or 3 minutes for your phone to boot up while the boot animation is going. How long did you wait?

Not a problem. Believe me I freaked out the first time as well. I thought it was taking TOOOOO long and did the same thing.
 
Odd, since I didn't touch the power menu, and it's working fine on my end...:confused:

Well my wife wanted to use this but the power menu keeps force closing 2x I tried this now and it keeps force closing. Oops

Please understand that I in no way intend this reply to be offensive, rude or condescending, and hopefully is not taken as such.

I don't know what to tell you, man. You're the only one as far as I'm aware that is having this issue. All I can suggest is try Chev's suggestion; pull the android.policy.jar from the Megatron 6.0.4 zip, and use ES File Explorer or something like it to load the file into /system/framework. A lot of time and effort goes into making these themes. As a specific example, I spent 4 or so hours trying to fix just the wallpaper loading issue, and very nearly scrapped the whole theme on that alone; Slayer can verify. You could say I put a little of my soul into all the work I do, and negative comments (or ones that are taken that way) hurt more than intended.

Now back on topic, are you using Megatron 6.0.4? I used the framework-res and systemui apks from it, so I imagine the theme is only going to work with the ROM (but I could be wrong).

Please disregard this post. Someone else tested the theme for me, and they're having issues as well, so I'm pulling it indefinitely until further notice. I apologize, psycho4us4, I should have taken your post more seriously.
 
I have been using this theme for several hours wit no issues at all ... power menu is workin fine ....

Yeah, i may have jumped the gun a little. It appears that the tester's problem was their phone, and not the theme itself, so i'll be re-instating the link, but i'll definitely be adding a warning message, just to be safe.

With fresh install, the theme has worked. No issues with power menu and no force close's. Also I didn't have to change the wallpaper or download it. It was there.
 
Not a problem. The issue was I was still on the beta release and the official release. Should have thought about that last nite.
