I guess that's the million dollar question have you asked a cm dev? Maybe they could shed some insight k3vin said he ran a log at but couldn't read as fast but he saw some errors at the boot loop animation.

[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
It seems there is something that makes CM9 overly sensitive to change upon boot. I tried to insert the ported memo app and task manager into the ROM so they would be there when I reflashed and that also caused it to stick at the boot ani.
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
I think it has something to do with the android upgrading and optimizing apps after wiping cache and dalvik that's my guess because that's what comes up right after wiping those two...

Thats exactly what i was thinking its acting almost like a virus or a worm that activates when you backup or zip the entire ROM with theme

also had an idea that when i back it up to pull it my sd and on my my laptop to see if i could possibly find the corruption and where it starts
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
If you're looking in the theme, look in the META. I know it's not in the building process of the apk's within it.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried to place the themed apk's in the CM9 rom zip and flash it that way, then run through the whole backup restore process. That would be a good way to test the meta.
[Epic 4G Themes] K3VlN:
i can try this later on tonight
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
I remember doing that when the issue was first discovered and it would not boot. But I already mentioned the ROM didn't like me adding anything for some reason and then trying to flash it.
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
Yeah, sounds like the rom doesn't like the system folder touched at all.

Well the new ver. works perfect. My weatherbug app does not crash anymore with this theme:D. Awesome work.
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
Shane, here is the version with the blue circle. Although the only way I could install the theme was to reflash the ROM and gapps fresh with no data, boot, flash the theme, boot, then advance restore data from my nandroid. It seems Alpha 2 is even more picky than Alpha 1.

Updated OP.
[Epic 4G Themes] K3VlN:
this is what i had to do too because i couldnt just simply re-flash the theme even after i restored my original backup each time i re-flashed i got bootloop

im wondering since we are still so early in the CM9 builds and that the alphas that are coming out are basically stock maybe its not set up for running themes just yet. Could that be a possibility?
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
No, because all the theme is a modified versions of the stock apk's compiled using the same resources as the rom.
[Epic 4G Themes] K3VlN:
well i tried unpacking and swapping out the themed apk's then re-packed and just like kenny said it didnt work the file wouldnt even install
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
Yeah, it's pretty clear that the problem isn't the theme at this point.
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
Has anyone tried to just remove the themed apk's and push them to /system after installing the theme? Maybe that's what it is the apks not the systemui and framework?

Same results but I mean it could be more efficient then using a flashable?

I thought about that earlier but havent tried it yet might give it a shot in a few i mostly want the messaging apk i dont like the bright white one that comes stock lol

and i agree Shane the theme isnt the problem
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
Yeah, I hate that bright crap. I was able to do the talk apk for some Nexus S roms too. But it didn't work on all roms. I tried the contacts.apk, but there is a known issue with compiling it that makes it force close.
[Epic 4G Themes] K3VlN:
Ahh i was wondering why contacts wasnt themed...well in about an hour or so im gonna try to push the themed apk's with adb and see if that works
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
There are things you can do to theme it a bit, but you can't change anything in the values folder of the apk so what's the point.
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
Is it possible that it is just not deodexed? Doesn't that cause problems trying to theme?

its not odexed there's no odex files for each app like there should be.

[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
I highly doubt it. We've always ran into problems when using older versions of it in the past. Denverg figured something out to do it, but it's not been duplicated afaik. I asked him how he did it, but it didn't work for me.

I hope we're talking about the same thing here. lol

There are issues with creating a nandroid with this theme installed. From what the people that have been working with this are saying, to restore data you would have to flash CM9 then the gapps, then do an advanced restore, then the flash theme .

^^^ ok above is a little confusing to me.

Im running cm9 with tanto... I understand nandroid might not work after theming but before theming couldn't I just do a nandroid and then apply theme ect? I mean I don't have to wipe data and everything installed fresh just to apply the theme do I?

Sorry but that las part kind of confused me since I see some of you guys just flashing on top of existing setup

I also tried flashing theme after applying the tanto first so Im still trying to figure out what the issue is
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
Follow my steps.

1.make a nandroid with or without theme doesn't matter

2. Wipe data etc and flash cm9 and gapps

And advance restore data and reboot.

3. Go back into recovery flash the kernel, ics scrolling mod if you use it, and flash the theme and clock mod if you use it. And reboot.

I finally got it to work. The reason it kept bootlooping was the smooth scrolling link in this thread was for ics alpha 1 not 2. I tried every which way when adding until i pinpointed it to that which caused it. Thanks for the other help guys

Just going off the change log I would say yes. The question is the MMS. It will probably work, but there was a fix for the contact faces in it. Not sure if it's actually in the mms.apk or elsewhere.

[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
It's probably a modified android.policy.jar in that zip.

Edit: post that zip so I can see what's inside it.
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
Well i just flashed your theme the one one the OP the one for the epic 4g alpha2 and its the same exact size as the mystery zip and it did the same thing it came with the on-screen buttons.

Here is a link to the mystery zip i already had on my sd card. So i believe that they are both the exact same zip file just weird that they are different names.http://db.tt/h3cwrBDC

And like i said on this flash i did not flash the one i just posted a link too. I flashed your theme zip from the op.
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
Yeah, that's my theme, but not sure how it got that way. Maybe I have to rebuild for alpha 3. At this point you might want to start from scratch and hold off on the theme until I have a chance to work with some people on this.
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
Well i still like it and the on-screen buttons work perfectly so i might just stay with it for a while. I hope this weird bug or feature i found helps.

Its just weird how i flashed the same theme on alpha2 and that never showed up but when flashing on alpha3 it does kinda weird dont you think.
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
It might be something that was changed in the rom. Too early to tell, but I'm sure I will have my answer by the time I get home from work tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
Alright well hope I was able to help a bit at least. The only thing wrong so far is that when you have the phone on its side and you are using the virtual keyboard then flip to use the physical one the virtual keyboard don't close. You have to press the back arrow for it to close.
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
Its still pretty bad ass that the buttons work
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
I've used them before on the Nexus S. It's nice to see what they're like to use.
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
yea true so did you like the on screen buttons on the nexus s
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
Not with the on screen keyboard.
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
o you mean that there on the side of the keyboard when you type making the letters even smaller to press yea I know what you mean. Also sucks that it takes up a bit of screen space. But I think I can get used to it.

Will you be warning people about flashing this theme over alpha3?
[Epic 4G Themes] cgarcia200:
Sorry man if I caused any trouble on the CM9 thread didn't mean too
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
No, no trouble. There were a few too many posts about it so I just placed the link here for discussion. As far as a warning, everyone knows that when you flash any mod that's not specific for that build you run risks. With as many roms as I build this for there is no way for me to keep up with it. I rely on the users to tell me what works and what doesn't then I build accordingly. This community has been very helpful in this aspect. Way better than the nexus in that respect.

[Epic 4G Themes] Ragnar:
I didn't take it as a complain, but just remember you where talking about an issue that occurred when you flashed this theme. You should have talked about it here. The cm developers only want issues and problems relating strictly to their product in their thread. They want to be able to work on every bug and development but when people post issues and they have flashed a different kernel or theme which altered their rom, they don't like that.

EDIT: at least take pride in the fact that you got the head developer on the epic cm9 team to react to your post lol
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
Shane, if this does cause problems flashing an Alpha 2 theme on Alpha 3 which I am sure it does since CM9 is so finicky, then you may have to add a version check like they do on the i9000. Also I am guessing the mms.apk might have changed since it is mentioned in the changelog. As always when you get an Alpha 3 I will throw in the blue circles. I may just make it an add-on like you did with the clock instead of reflashing the whole theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] shane6374:
I'll do it tonight. It's funny though because CM9 only is this finicky on the Epic. lol

Once i get the rom downloaded it won't take that long to do.

sounds good but I might play with this version for a while

Been racking my brain on this nandroid restore issue when I finally realized it must be a problem with the CWM included with CM9 CWM 5.5.x.x. If the system boots fine then it works period even through power cycles. The backup and restore script is supposed to back up an exact image and restore it the same way. Something is going wrong there. Shane is there someone we can discuss this with who can look at the nandroid scripts? Maybe on IRC?
