[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Stock Themes - Flashable Zip Install Instructions.

Due to my evolving Bulletproof beyond it's ability to play nice with Bloater, until I can rectify the situation I am making an update available that will re-install the stock themes that Bloater was supposed to do. I did not realize how far I had divorced Bulletproof from Bloater until now.

The themes have always been a bit of a headache on this device, and I know how much a visual environment you've become comfortable with bothers you when it's stripped away.

I went ahead and removed as much as I did from the 1.0 release because Bloater provided the ability to just re-install anything you wanted back. There is more I would like to remove, but Bloater wasn't set up for it yet and I didn't want to arbitrarily deny anyone something they would use.

( For instance, friendstream is utterly useless to someone with no social media accounts, like me - yet incredibly useful to someone who does...as some members in the MT4GS forums do. To me it's bloat, to others it's a feature. )

I will need to ask for some patience from all of you while I get the bloater situation sorted out.

While i'm working on getting things sorted out, I would like to offer anyone using this ROM an option to flash a zip that will restore all of the Stock themes.

This update will clean up any possible bugged theme installs from failed attempts, and re-apply the stock themes to the selections in the options menu.

Stock Theme Installation Instructions:

1 - Download Bulletproof_Themes_Stock_Update_signed.zip to your sdcard.

2 - Reboot to recovery and do a nandroid backup.

3 - Install the zip from the sdcard.

4 - Reboot your phone, allow it to settle for a bit after loading up.

5 - Open themes in your settings menu, verify all are there (but don't switch to one yet)

6 - Reboot your phone again. Let settle for a few moments.

7 - Open themes in your settings menu, choose the one you would like.

8 - Enjoy!

* - Note: Even after the second reboot you may still get splash screen from a soft-soft reset after selecting one, especially if you run through them all one after another to check they are working.

Don't worry about it, just a shell reboot, and nothing to be concerned about. Just has to do with what I had to do to get the themes to register with the device again.

Please see the bottom of the Original Post under "Mods & Addons" for the download link to the Stock Theme Update.

EDIT: Download no longer available. Please use the updated Bloater app for theme management.

Enjoy!

This ROM was uploaded flying by the seat of my pants and with a few prayers based on hosting availability, timing and other factors. Now that i've had the chance to settle in a lot of things behind the scenes, I am able to start dealing with issues both apparent to users of the ROM and others that manifest behind the curtain.

I appreciate your patience while I pull this all together. I really want to make sure what's here is solid before adding to it, and much as I would love to kill all the pink and destroy kidzone and stuff, I don't want to get too far ahead of myself in rolling this ROM out.

I will do what I can to accommodate people for anything that pops up that's not quite as it should be.

Thanks!
