[Vibrant General] cheema:
I have tried various ROMs and some of them are quite good. However for reasons not entirely clear to me, the authors of these ROMs, in addition to adding some much needed functional improvements, decide to blingify/theme their ROMs in such a way that there is no easy way to go back to Stock Samsung theme.

Some of us are just looking to add functionality and not looking to change the look.

Why don't the ROM authors provide a theme separately for their ROMs
[Vibrant General] metalfan78:
I agree, I love all the tweaks and functionality, but I also like the look of the stock rom. Options for themes would be great.

We're comin from a pure power source.

[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
I think its more wise to ask the devs if they wouldnt mind making a stock theme for you to add to thier rom....due to the fact that they build thier roms primarily to suite them and then share it with you...ever think of it that way?

not flaming you,i would love a stock 2.1 theme to go along with one of these well built 2.2-2.2.1 roms but you have to keep in mind this is work that takes them away from other finer things in life that they are'nt paid to do

...and a TouchWiz theme for Trigger :p

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042282

It's completely relative. For me the Trigger theme is much cleaner (less bling) and better looking than the stock TouchWiz theme. Same for the stock Gingerbread theme that Bionix uses.
[Vibrant General] cheema:
>Same for the stock Gingerbread theme that Bionix uses.

I would have been happy with stock Gingerbread theme on Bionix, if they did not take much liberties with it. Like making everything appear extra blue.
[Vibrant General] cheema:
> there is a touchwiz theme for bionix

Thanks. I had hoped that something like this would exist. But did not find it earlier. From the screenshots, it looks good and I will most certainly give it a shot.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Most 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms around here already have a stock theme. Malice, Trigger, Bi-Winning to name a few. Others like Heathen's roms are actually built on an improved stock theme.

If you adore such a theme that much try requesting it from your rom's dev or simply jump ships to another rom that fits your eyes. Just don't go all kong foo on devs around here blaming them for what ain't even their fault. At least blame the one responsible, not generically on the whole community.

How to get this to work.

There seems to be a semantics problem here. The app says S/N, which does contain numbers and letters. But if you use a serial number you get the dreaded "Unable to connect to server or phone info wrong" error. The problem is that the app really wants your IMEI, not your serial number. Put in your correct model number and your valid IMEI number and the app should return a result. It took me a while to figure out how to get it to work.

I recently rooted my Optimus G with the intent of deleting a large majority of the 4 pages of stock apps and bloatware that come on the phone. Shortly after, my phone bricked and I found a thread warning against the removal of Google Video...

I started the "unbricking process" and all was going well until I hit a roadblock finding my firmware. I tried finding the KDZ file directly on LG's server, and downloading it from the handy tool on this thread to no avail. When I enter my S/N or IMEI on this tool, the following message pops up:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will close immediately.

Specific argument was out of the range of valid values.

Anyone else have this issue?

The phone's firmware is on the LG server as I know this has worked for others. I am just having a big problem getting to it. I have disabled firewall and my antivirus.

Has anyone been able to find firmware through the internet vs. using this app? If so, how did you find the firmware downloads?

Would anyone be able to assist and download the file for my region?
