I researched what I am wondering about and haven't found a solid answer. How would I safely install only the dialer and the phone apks from this theme? Apparently, the apks in the extracted folder don't install as apps. Should I take out the apps I don't need from this theme's zip and then flash it? Will this cause unintended changes with the installation of services.jar and other such files over the current theme?

Also, maybe I am not looking in the right places, but how would I uninstall a theme that I have flashed using CW? I found some information on forums that Titanium Backup can uninstall a theme, but I don't find the listing of the theme in the list of apps in Titanium Backup. What is the way to do this? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
1. Answer for dialer and phone. Open the zip with whatever programs you wish to use. Me, I use 7zip since it's FREE! Open the system folder and delete the framework folder. Open the App folder, delete all files except the Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk and you may want to keep the Contacts.apk since it is themed to match the two other files. Once finished with that close the orginal file, so need to save. Copy the zip to your SDcard and flash with CWM3. That's all it takes.

2. Answer uninstall of theme. As this time there is no way to uninstall a theme. You may install a new one over the old one. Flash the rom again without any wipes then install you new theme. Using Titanium will only take you back to the last backup. But what if you have added more programs since you last did a backup. They will be lost, best just o flash the rom without any wipes. All of your programs will still be there. And you will back to the basic theme. Hope this is the answer you were looking for.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
I may have mixed some files up. Will take a lokk at it in the next few days.
[Epic 4G Themes] incisivekeith:
Yes, thank you very much for such a detailed response! That was exactly what I was looking for.

I want to confirm if I understand something correctly. Do you mean to say that when I reflash the ROM, without wiping any caches, all the programs and their data will remain installed/intact? My understanding was that with every flash of a ROM, even without wiping any caches, all the installed apps are deleted.

It's white with a black @ symbol. I only use one gmail account on my phone so it's no biggie...for now.

I may be taking a new position with my company in July though, and would need to get the stock email app working if that happens. Hopefully we'll have a fix by then!
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
The ACS rom will backup your apps and data and will wipe the system then restore the data without the theme. Not sure about about Bonsani & Midnight roms.
[Epic 4G Themes] SwimDrewid:
Bonsai 3+ and midnight 5.2+ back up/restore as well.

Have you check with your email provider on what the correct setting. Don't understand why you would get FC's. What you have is the stock email with only the icon changed. Please tell what rom you are using. Sorry if this question as already been answered.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Added new taskbar notification icons.
[Epic 4G Themes] SwimDrewid:
Thanks! But...

Oh noes! One of my favorite aspects of this theme is the large, dark digital battery icons. All those new fangled battery displays the kids use these days are too dabnabitty small! (old man eyes ftl)

Sent from my fully armed and operational epic battle station
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
I know the feeling, make the new gauge battery icons because of a request.

The digital battery numbers were make because I can see them without my reading glasses.:D
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Hey Timberwolf.......if you were referring to me, I really appreciate it. The only battery mods that I could find to work with EC05 were blue. Those damn digital #'s were the only thing with your themes that I wish we could change. I checked out the Impaler's battery mod app.....but they were all blue or green:( Thank you a whole lot for changing this. Still happy with ur "Red Alien" theme, but now I might have to flash this;) Way tooooooo many options my man, great job once again!
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
O.k., I don't want to sound like a dumb ass, but what am I supposed to do with the updated icons? (how do I incorporate them into the theme:confused:)

>>Also, could they be applied to any of your other themes with no problems?

>>Thanks again.....
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Check the OP for the 2nd set of gauge taskbar icons. I have been kicking the idea around for a month or so, then found these. Look good but hard to read for an old fart like me. Flash the zip in CWM3. No they will not work on other themes since I want both sets of 100 normal and 100 charge icons. Other themes do not support 100 charge icons. Some will have 9, 15 & 20 charge icons but not 100.

To Everyone:

Check in the Blue Midnight Theme for a new set of clear digital number taskbar set of icons.
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Ya, I figured they would'nt work with other themes. I just meant are they universal with your 4 themes?
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
I like the new icons. Specially the charger. I liked how everything had little boxes around them though.

I would like to see the power control widget made transparent.

My favorite theme. I keep coming back to this one
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
Also a skinned black gmail email notification in the task bar would be cool.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Some like the boxed look and some don't. Thanks for the reminder about the gmail taskbar icon I keep forgetting to to that. New taskbar (clear background with larger icons and digital battery mods coming for this theme sometime this weekend. If you want a preview take a look at the the Blue Midnight theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
I like it except for that metal grate thing going on in the background. Kinda takes away from that smooth look.

I'm using a black alienware wallpaper with a black alien and red eyes.

I'd like to see a boot up logo of a black alien with glowing eyes.

I'm working on making a theme with handcent.

I'm using better keyboard. It looks great stock or with the tron theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
The metal grate will not be in the theme. The thing that will change is the notification icons. Which KB are you using and can post the apk as an attachment. A different animated boot screen maybe in the future. Have my hands full for now. Thanks for posting:)
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
I found "Better Keyboard" in the market. There are 2 versions. The paid version supports "skins", while the free one comes glossy black. No reason to change from the free version, that glossy black looks great with this theme:D
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
New notification taskbar added to the theme available in OP.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
I downloaded the free and it didn't work on my phone. From what I could see the KB looked gray and not black. But if it works for you then good. What is different about Gingerbread KB vs the other KB's that come with the phone?
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Better ergonomics for me. Seems way more responsive than Swype, especially when in landscape and using multitouch. Better word prediction/correction along with slightly better key placement for me. There are a few other things, but I can't remember them all. Guess it's all a matter of personal preference. Some people like Swype, I could never get used to it though. I don't know why ur having so many problems with the keyboards from the market. Once I get my phone up and running again, I'll extract a copy of my GB apk for you. Maybe it's a modified version, don't know for sure:confused:
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
Ik

Paid version is the same thing. That black glossy keyboard looks great. Paid version allows themes. I have a matrix and tron theme.

I also use swift key. It's amazing. I just wish it could be themed. I'm stuck between the two. SwiftKey and better keyboard are definitely worth the money though. Swift predicts what I am going to say next very well. Better keyboard feels quicker though and you can theme it.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Leeboy posted several links for me to dl 2 different GB KB's. Will work on them and see want I can do. Sounds like most want a Glossy Black theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Appreciate all the hard work. I posted those links so u could just take a look at them. I don't know if their for everyone, some people are crazy about Swype. Different strokes for different folks. Like u said "it's all about options". And the more the better. If they appear to be something u can work with, instead of putting them in ur themes, perhaps u could just post an optional set of different colored .zips?;) Thanks again for looking into this.....
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
If anyone is interested, here is a link for some different colored "WiFi Tether" apps. They go very well with any of Timberwolf's themes;)

>>Please note, the selected color will not show up until you activate the app!

>>Please give credit (THANKS) to the developer if you choose to use the app!

[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Just thought it might be worth time to note, but any of these launchers that ur using do not support the paid versions also. I use ADW Ex, but was thinking of trying Launcher Pro....the paid version. When I went to the market and tried to download, the bottom of the description said "does not support themed versions". I noticed this with a couple of other launchers also:mad:

>>This kind of crap makes me want to use warez. Oooops, guess I should'nt of said that!
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
The themed Lpro8.5 is a full version. You just need to buy the program and input your key to get the full features of the launcher. Also I have not released a version of ADW Ex. Only LPro & Touchwiz 3.0. Several months I did release a black themed ADW 1.3.6 (the last of free of the ADW launchers)

Attn: Leeboy

I need a beta tester for the 1st release of black glossy Gingerbread KB.

See attachment below for file. Still needs more work. Need to hit the bed so no hurry to give feedback.

If you already has a version installed you might have to remove that 1st. Off to bed for me.
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Looks sweet....gotta give me some time though, got my hands full with some other stuff at the moment. I'll try to get to it in a few hrs. Looks killer, hope it works;)
[Epic 4G Themes] Paleryder:
Great Theme, and thought I was done messing with themes again, you do a great job Jstine TYVM
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Thanks, you are not alone in liking theme. Black Alien is really not my bag, I'm a blues kind of person. But I really like my Red Alien theme and I'm not a color red person.
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
O.k., I finally got done putting your modified keyboard through it's paces. Everything works great......EXCEPT the vibrate on keypress. I don't know if its something on your end or the version you downloaded did'nt have it. That is something I've grown used to and must have:( Other than that, I have'nt noticed anything else, it looks really good:D

>>I guess the only thing I would change is that damn orange word prediction on top to another color. Maybe change the color of the letters on the keyboard to a cyan blue or red to match your other themes. Or it might look better to change the glossy background color of the keys from black to red or blue and keep all the letters and word prediction white, depending on your theme of course. I can't complain, you always come up with some very eye appealing artwork....thanks for all the time you devote to this community;)
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Don't understand why vibrate is not working but I only put about 30 mins into the job.

1. Correct the orange has to go

2. Planing on leaving fot/letters on with black,red and blue keys with more gloss in the buttons.
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Ya, I don't understand either. I've been playing with it all afternoon and no matter what I do, I can't get it to work:mad: I'm not blaming you by any means, so don't take it the wrong way. Just was something I wanted to point out. Other than that, it's been working great!

>>I got called back in to work tomorrow, so I don't know how much time I'll have for testing until this weekend.:(
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
When I get the vibrate to work and several color options available I will the download links. I have the next 3 days off, so should be able to get somethings done. Thanks for the help
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
You bet, I'll try to check in and see what's been going on at the end of the next few days.......I won't be too far, these damn phones are addictive! Good luck with the keyboards and take your time, I mean it. I'm in no rush.....got too many other projects going on right now. And then there's that damn girlfriend of mine whose never happy:rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Themes] Paleryder:
QUick question regarding LP new version , tried to update and said dosent have the right sigs, I'm not sure I care to update it and loose custom black alien shortcuts any thoughts ?
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
If you cannot really wait till I get around to updating the LPro in Black Alien to the latest version. Use SDXAppRemoval to to remove my version. Then download from the Market the newest. Right now I have my hands full trying to get the Gingerbread Keyboard to fully work when vibrate and several themes.
[Epic 4G Themes] droid newb:
What is that and where would I find it?

Also, what does it do if I use it to remove LP so I can update it from the market?
[Epic 4G Themes] Paleryder:
Hey your crazy busy and I love this theme no biggie was just more curious if I could update LP or not. Thanx :)
[Epic 4G Themes] Paleryder:
Here is a link where ya can D-Load apk, it does just what it says removes apps/bloatware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=771255
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Use SDXAppRemoval.apk, you find a copy in the Gingerbread KB posting.
[Epic 4G Themes] droid newb:
Found it. Used it. Tried to get LP from the market after uninstalling and it gave me an "incompatible update" message.

I had to reinstall using the AppRemoval tool...and can't update LP.

Not in a major hurry for this so I'll just keep an eye open for a fix.

Thanks!

Will work on getting LPro for Black Alien updated tomorrow. So check sometime in the afternoon or evening.

>>P.S. Whenever you need another test run with the GB keyboard let me know. If it looks like too much trouble, maybe we can just stick with Swype for now. There seem to be so many great aftermarket keyboards floating around, might be easier to just "adopt" a different one with less problems. Kudos once again on all your awesome work bro!

I flashed last night love the theme only problem is a tw force close when the home button is double tapped other then that its great
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Touch Wiz is a known nuisance with various roms and themes. Try using Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher, I have used both flawlessly with all of Timberwolf's themes. (Launcher Pro is probably your best bet, since all of Timberwolf's themes are based on this launcher;))
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Thanks Leeboy once again, but about the TW3.0 has 3 versions. In Blue Glass and Black Aline I used a ported AT&T launcher with 5 icons. In the other themes I use Sprints. Have to run will finish this post later tonight.
[Epic 4G Themes] Aryantes:
Downloading now. This theme looks awesome. Icons look awesome. Everything looks awesome.

[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
I hope you know that everytime you bump this thread about an average of 75 more download this theme. It appears that they don't seek more than the 1st or 2nd page. When Gingerbread gets here, I'm going to make this into a Glass Black theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] Leeboy:
Already put in my thanks......was going to flash the "leaked" version, but would rather wait till it's official. Once the source is released and we have custom kernels with overclocking and EXT4 then I'll make the jump. Glad to see this theme will be upgraded and your work will continue with future roms;)

[Epic 4G Themes] WyldOne91:
I like the theme for the most part, the only thing I really really don't like are the icons up at the top...the blue ones that don't go with the theme at all and in my opinion, just look ugly. Not trying to offend anyone, just my opinion.
[Epic 4G Themes] swanysto:
Yeah, that looks really nice, I would definitely use it.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Need anywhere from 12 to 16 more hours of work left to do. About 3-400 images to edit or change. ETA Wed or Thur of this week.

I wouldn't say they are ugly, but I do plan on changing since they don't fit the theme. Would you like icons without the silver border? Or with the border & black & silver.
[Epic 4G Themes] rbrthrly90:
I think that the Silver border would be sweet... I just installed your glass theme... I love it... Thank you for all your great work....
[Epic 4G Themes] formula84:
I think your change from black blue panther taskbar to the look in glass V2 was great, maybe use the glass V2 taskbar and if you gonna give is a different color maybe a black or sliver background or none at all [transparent]. Since the bar is already black..just thoughts.

Also to the ugly comment, you really have to see them for yourself on the phone the picture does it no justice. When I first looked at the picture is really thought it would not like that good, once flashing I could really appreciate the amount of work that went into the detail and quality of the icons.... again I think the glass V2 TB looks better than the non glass version of it [very similar]

Thank for your continued efforts.

Looks great! Tried it on midnight 3.3 and I have to say, its badass! Anyways would like notifacation pulldown to go all the way down, and 4g icon in pull down notification to not have anything behing the 4g. Eg: instead of having 5 lines and the 4g instead have the 4g and then 3 line above the 4g. Also is there a way to theme the battery when the phone is off and charging? Just sugestions as you don't have to do anything but again great work!

After 6 hours editing images I got lazy with 5 icons, the 4g. "Also is there a way to theme the battery when the phone is off and charging?" Don't know which images to edit. have you seen this done on another theme?

I don't see why not since the midnight is based on the Bonsani rom anyway.

What was your request? Never mind I will read back few a pages.
[Epic 4G Themes] lilmikeyv:
OK...pics look awesome, but I just tried on midnight3.3 and got nothing but force closes...any suggestions?

Sorry I don't have an any idea. You might ask that question in ptfdmedic's thread. I have no problems with Bonsani rom. Did you have any othter theme install prior to installing mine?
[Epic 4G Themes] ryno502:
Great theme! One super tiny suggestion though. The unread text icon on the lockscreen is too hard to see. It would look better if u made the smiley face or the whole icon lighter.
