Anytime I install any of Cyan's roms and use a theme built for it, I cannot wipe without getting a Black SOD. I cleared my logcat (logcat -c) to clear away stuff that wouldn't be pertinent. I let logcat run for about 30 seconds.
Update: (further information)
I am NOT running Apps2SD and there are NO icons on my screen when flashing the theme. In addition, I have used the repair command to no avail.
Update:
This goes for xromhero theme, Ted's theme, or enochx theme so far. Will test others as time allows.
If you're having no issues with your theme, can you please do a wipe and see if the problem shows it's head? It's a simple fix, just wipe again and reapply the ROM.
PasteBin:

what theme are you trying to install? what spl do you have?
Next time, use pastebin ><
Anyway, as already asked, which theme? Does this happen on the base Cyan build?

I have 4.1.11.1 with the enochx theme. No issues for me.
thanks :-/
the first obvious thing is the error that says that your led driver is missing.
dont know why people are asking about spl...
Library '/system/lib/hw/lights.trout.so' not found
push this file...
you will find this file in your update.zip
push it to the exact same location and then post the logcat if the problem persists...
have you tried removing all the icons off the screen then installing the theme?
it appears to be missing both:
copybit.trout.so
and
lights.trout.so
neither of these files are in the CM 4.1.11.1 build.
Is it possible one of the apps in the xromhero theme has these two files. Though I am confused why two different phones doing exactly the same steps would not have the same issue.
Though if my thinking is correct copybit.trout.so and lights.trout.so are the drivers for the hero and my touch phones. The dream requires the msm7k.so files dont they?
So logically thinking here, is it possible that when the CM 4.1.11.1 or the theme is being installed it misidentifies the phone as a hero/my touch?
they might be symlinks...

Have you wiped after installing the theme? Go ahead and give it a shot and let us know if it goes to a black screen of death
I had trouble with a theme so I cleaned out my davlik cache, and that fixed it. You could try that. Otherwise possibly a reformat of your ext3. Gparted works well for that.
on some themes dont you have to remove the apps and the clock on the homescreen before you install a theme because usually the themes clocks are 4x3 and the normal ones are 2x2.

Updated the first post to answer these possible resolutions
Ok so I stress tested this on my phone.
Could not reproduce with xhero theme
However, with Enoch
if you wipe > install cm 4.1.11.1 > reboot, log in > recover/wipe > flash enochx > reboot it will black screen
However if you wipe > flash cm 4.1.11.1 > reboot, log in > reboot/recovery > flash enochx > reboot it works
in other words.....do NOT wipe after you install cm 4.1.11.1 allow CM to load fully and sync then reboot to recover and just flash the theme.
EnochX seems to be black screening on the reg screen load on a freshly wiped phone, though interestingly enough if you load enochx with out the wipe allow the system to come all the way back, then reboot > recover > wipe > reboot it seems to work ok

I understand it will black screen if you wipe prior to installing the theme. However, have you wiped AFTER installing the theme? This is my issue. The other night I had to wipe while I was out. This left me without a phone since I had removed the ROM from my SD.
It seems like there is something missing (or conflicting) in the themes. This might be a workaround but it's not a resolution to the issue.
Yes I was able to get the theme running then wipe and reboot without issue. I will try it a couple more times tonight to see if it black screens.

Appears your method of wiping-->install rom-->boot/login-->install theme works.
I still think that there is something missing somewhere or at least would like to hear a reason why it must be done in this order. I'm no longer getting all the F/Cs I was before.
Thanks man

after updating to JF 1.4.1. RC8, snapphoto can't find my sd card anymore. after starting the app, I get an "insert sd-card" message.
I can access the sd card from Astro. I reinstalled snapphoto. no change.
any ideas? can someone confirm the problem?

No issues here on the ADP1.1 version.... You "areeeee" disconnecting it from your computer right?
I'm having a similar problem, my camera won't work at all. With or without SnapPhoto. I goto blackscreen (where you usually go "take the damn picture, android!") and it just waits until force close comes up.
I didn't test out camera before installing theme after going to JFv1.41,
so I'll uninstall the theme and try it again tonight.
edit: I tested ContinuousShoot and it'll snap the pics and save them to sd just fine.
Works fine here (RC30 with "fade-to blue" theme) I did wipe my phone before applying JFv1.41.

Please keep me updated. Thanks.
I don't think, the reason is that I did not wipe my phone before. JesusFreke said, a wipe is not necessary, if you go from JF 1.3.1 to 1.4.1, if you stay within your version (RC8 or RC30).

I'm having the same problem, happened with 1.41 ADP and RC30. Are you running apps from the SD card?

no, no apps running on my SD. I have moved some caches to my sd card. Don't remember which one. Do you know how I can check this?
Don't know if its related, I nvr bothered to check mine til reading this thread. Mine doesn't take a picture. It will focus then beep twice it will not snap
I'm going to reinstall and see if that helps.
Reinstall did not help.

mine's good .. pictures and camera and all just fine .. no themes installed .. went from 1.31 to 1.41 on RC30 via my home brew update.zip (because i have apps on SD) .. anyone use the same SD for update.zip as for files? check the FAT partition? i always use a secondary card to preserve my duplex partition setup that i have
I don't run apps off my sdcard yet. Original camera app works fine. Snap doesn't. I'm going to remove my theme to see if that's the issue.
That did it. Guess the themes aren't so compatible yet.
solved
I had to do a wipe. Now it works, so no JF issue, except that it is recommended to do a wipe. Maybe this was because I moved the caches to my sd ...
I haven't had an problems with the update, even with my apps on the SD-card (it was nice still having them there, even if I had to redo the thing to make the phone see them).
The only weird thing I've had going on is getting two notifications for each text message I receive. I'll always have two white envelopes in the notification bar. Still trying to track that one down, as I don't have any other SMS/MMS apps installed.
pre: not running apps from SD - did Alt+W before installing JFv1.41
TRoubleshooting issue:
retry (SnapPhoto uninstalled, fresh reboot) - blackscreen "Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding. [Same issue]
Factory data reset: Android system recovery utility JFv1.41 loaded, Alt+W to rewipe just in case (protip: rewipe until the paper is white) and Home + Back reboot.
After reformat, back to original conditions: [JFv1.41 ADP 1.1 | Macdroid v2.2] Same issue after a clean wipe - only software is that bundled with theme.
Going back to JFv1.41, Alt+W to reformat and installing (testing to see if works w/o theme) .... Camera works!
Installed SnapPhoto and rebooted: Camera works.
Reinstalled Macdroid v2.2 w/ clean rewipe - native camera produced original blackscreen/foreclose issue.
Just got done browsing Geo411m's thread for Macdroid v2.2 and I guess other users have had similar issues. I'll let Geo know.
Issue should be fixed in latest MacDroid release!
I really need to be able to post in the development section but sadly this forum doesn't allow it for noobs.
I did the following:
Flashed the LBC Wipe zip
Flashed LBC 0.6
Ran through the setup procedure
Ran Titanium Backup to restore previous apps
Flashed Sense 3 3D launcher
After than the phone gets stuck at the green android animation. If i press the power button it will do the CRT animation and turn the screen off. Likewise if I press it again i see the CRT animation on the android animation comes back.
This suggests that the phone is trying to load sense but is getting stuck. Can someone raise the question for the correct order to install it in the development section?
Thankfully I have managed to restore back to base LBC 0.6 so it isn't an urgent matter.
Thanks.
Another thing i noticed is that when I run the Market for the first time, it seems to automatically install a number of apps that have been removed from this rom such as maps.
Is there any way to stop it from happening?

Google backups and synchronises settings (including apps) to your Google account. Whenever I add a Google account in a fresh ROM it also starts downloading the apps I've previously had. There should be an option to disable this in settings. If I remember correctly, you can choose this during the initial setup.

(Opps, Must add that if you use EXT4 recovery and the associated APK recently released then remove the APK for it from the LBC v0.6.0 ZIP file and ensure that you un-install the program (not recovery) from your v0.5.4 system once you've restored it as the program was going through several pre beta releases and fails to upgrade after v0.6.0 install otherwise).
I detailed my install order HERE. Now if you don't have a v0.5.4 backup, I'd say simply run a full wipe and then proceed in the order that I did.
Even though my stages above don't mention the 3d rosie that's as I personally don't like it, but don't fear I did try it. I followed the steps above, then rebooted the device , setup as per normal then rebooted back to RECOVERY took a backup..(as didn't want to go through that process again!) and then flashed the 3D Launcher.ZIP to try it out - which I did but choose to revert to the backup as it wasn't for me!
Good luck.
Hi All,
I seriously read all 17 pages of SAUROM's Dev page and only found 1 other use having this issue but post has no response:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20344195&postcount=31
I also searched and most people have somewhat similar issues but not like mine where it works first time fine then upon reboot Apps disappear.
I've rooted my Infuse a long time ago and have been ROM'ing it for several months now. I've changed several ROMs and some have lots of pieces I love but has issues with something I really need (like bluetooth).
So I gave SAUROM 'One rom to rule em all' a shot. I actually really am impressed upon initial Flash. I made lots of changes, and then lost root/SU, then found SU-fix and applied. It worked for about one day then when I reboot my Apps (including Market) were dimmed-out. So I tried to search but no decent threads.
I thought perhaps another Flash of the ROM would fix, but same issue, then thought perhaps a kernel change so I did that too.
But I just did it again and during first boot everything looks good, I make changes add my gmail acct, use some Apps (actually last time I used Supercharger and installed busybox) but even prior to this it was doing the same thing. Then thinking perhaps it might have fixed it, rebooted and still same thing.
Is there any *.zip or setting that perhaps I can check to fix this? Some script that may help to check where this issue lies? How about fstab file that I can check and edit to fix this??
This happens every time I reboot! I installed apps last night and actually held off posting this, then this morning I rebooted and Apps disappear again (even Play Store).

First thanks for the response bigfau!
I have checked this to see if this option would be a good way to resolve my issue but weird thing is that these dimmed-out apps that appear to be on my sdcard actually go away. If they were truly installed on sdcard like SS above says, then I should be able to:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > On SD Card >
Select App > "Move to phone" but they're not there, only XDA Premium . (attached SS)
After a reboot, I have to go to My Files, App_Manager > App_Backup > user_apps > Re-install My Apps again. But any reboot puts me back at square one.
1. Uninstall and install your launcher app (don't restore)
2. Wipe your dalvik cache (if rooted)
Try this and let me know if that helps.

*Thanks, your response makes sense as I remember TWLauncher errors with this ROM and think yes my Launcher is the culprit.
Ive been trying to Uninstall and install a launcher (which I thought would be relatively simple).
1. I downloaded/installed 2 different Launchers (Launcher Pro & Go Launcher Ex) from Play Store.
2. Downloaded TW4Manager.apk, tw4key.zip, and ShareApp.apk (for TWLauncer 4.5).
3. Moved TouchWiz30Launcher.apk out of system/apps/ and backed up *just in case*, then rebooted into Recovery and Wiped Dalvik Cache.
When it was booting, it stayed on the Galaxy S boot animation screen for the longest and never booted.
I decided to attempt to Flash Saurom again, (wipe user data, which cache, wipe Dalvik Cache, install ROM zip) and I'm trying again.
But seems like I got some weird chicken/egg thing going on. I can only install apps while booted or phone is on.
Did i do something incorrect?

Isn't this how it works? I am not sure how you would install apps when the phone is turned off? Or do you mean screen on?

Hi diablo009,
Sorry what I was referring to was that it seems yes I can install Apps while phone is on, but they're only available during that time (after installed). Its like they are in RAM and lose them if I shutdown or reboot.
I'm sure it's not the ROM I used as stated in the Title because I've recently done lots of testing on my phone. I again Re-flashed the ROM again doing:
1. Wipe user data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, install ROM .zip.
2. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
*Ive tried this with and without reboot in between 1 & 2.
Still same symptoms, loads first time fine. Runs setup, is rooted, can install Apps, then upon reboot they're gone.
So I said okay let's test out another ROM to see if same results, and so yesterday I changed to GamerzRom v8.1, then upped to 9.0 and same results with Apps.
I've used different kernel's (DD_03042012.zip & kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip), used diff ROMs, and have also attempted to get back to Stock either by using:
-SGH-I997_UCLB3_INFUSE.zip (I guess this is Stock with Root & couple more things)
-Get back to Stock ROM by using Download-Mode and SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
After either of these, attempt to re-flash and see if problems go away but they haven't.
Weird thing is sometimes I lose SU/Root sometimes I don't. I'm sure it's something I've done to my phone or the filesystem which is why I'd like to be able to check it out, like fstab, mtab (if there's one), permissions or something else but I'm not sure what to look for =/
Thoughts or other areas I can check?
A checklist would be awesome right now if I could find one....
Backup the data you have on your internal/external SD cards, and format them please. And try to install an app, reboot, and let me know if the issue is still present.
SD
I had the same issue. I blamed it on a bad SD card. I removed the SD card all together and never had the problem since. I only had the stock 2gb card in there so it was not worth the hassle.

This is what even I am suspecting now. So only wanted him to format both internal and external. And this one reason I recommend no less than class 6 cards for phones, preferably class 10.
---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
1. Clean wipe and ROM install
2. Clean wipe with a different ROM
3. Clear dalvik cache and cache
4. Wipe data for launcher
5. Fresh install of launcher
6. Fresh install of apps and no restoring with TiBu
7. Formatting internal and external memory
8. Take out external memory
9. Change external SD card
There's your checklist, as far as I can think of. And I have marked in green the options you said you have tried.
Hi, you just have to replace the file vold. Fstab and place it on /system /etc
Pm with your mail and I will send to you b/c I have it with me but don't know how to upload here
The file is suppose to say that the apps must stay on the sdcard..
Qkster explain that to me very well, if I were you, I look in his roms thread..

Okay glad to report this has helped me! Not sure if the scard (internal/external) was bad or getting full or what but here's what I did:
1. Copied all my data (sdcard [int/ext]) to PC.
2. Format scard: Settings > SD Card/Storage > Unmount SD Card > Format
*Did this for both SDCard & USB Storage
Result in "Lady voice on partioning boot mesg, (basically inoperable phone).
*My fault because I didn't need to do USB storage? Should I have done both SDCard & USB Storage? Either way I think i wanted to restart from scratch with factory type reset/stock ROM.
3. Boot Download-Mode and ROM using: SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
4. Root phone and tried to Re-flash with custom ROM (Saurom) but need CWM recovery. CWM was in blue-mode, needed Green or Red to flash ROM.
5. Downloading SGS Kernel flasher and flashing it with Entropy's DD
For this I used: DD_03042012.zip, but for me I noticed Market and Maps were "dimmed" out and thought I'm back to square one!
Dunno if this was coincidence or something I did to cause this or what but I think it's important to note because issue seemed to reappear.
I changed the kernel to: kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip and dimmed Market/Maps went away.
6. Booted in Recovery, wipe user data/wipe cache/ wipe Dalvik cache, Flash ROM: JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM
7. Booted up, went through SetupWizard, then realized lost Root.
8. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
9. Boot phone, verified Root, installed some Apps, and rebooted & Power-Off over 10 times.
All looks good now!
So far its looking like my issue went away!
@OP: This happens many times when the android data files on the external SD get corrupted. And happy to know your issue is resolved
Barebone SGS4G KJ6 ROM
Use at your own risk, I take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your phone because of this ROM.
Here is a ROM that I made for myself, but what the heck, let's share. This ROM is very stock-like with just few usability mods.
Features
Will not wipe your programs or data, /data is preserved upon install
Heavily debloated. Most essentials apps are still there (like WiFi Calling)
No extra programs added, you need to add your own
ODEXed to save space in /data
CarrierIQ is completely removed
Extended Power Menu (including Screenshot)
Extended Quick Panel (10 buttons, including Data toggle)
1% battery (horizontal)
CRT-Off
Time zone version 2012b
/etc/hosts to cut ads out of the box (keep up to date with AdAway or similar)
Few conservative presets in build.prop and init.d
Basic with a Twist 1.1.3 kernel included
Notes
* Don't get confused about ODEXing, it's actually better to run and saves quite a bit of space in /data.
* Some Google apps (Maps, Streets, Voice) and Adobe Flash are removed from /system. Install them from market. Benefit - they can be moved to SD card this way.
* Original Swype is removed, is somebody needs it flash this.
* In case you need it, use this thread to add some bloat back.
* Factory Reset is removed from Settings->Privacy, use CWM if you ever need to reset all data.
* KJ6 modem included. Use this thread to flash a different modem if needed.
Install
Flash with CWM. Wait until the system boots up, then wait few more minutes for it to settle.

Nope, never bothered with power menu. I don't reboot the phone too often and to say the truth don't even remember when last time I needed to take a screenshot. I use ShootMe and QuickBoot when I need to, they both do the job just fine.
Yes, power menu is fully modded now, including Screenshot option.
Thank you for this, Anton! Love your kernel. Is this ROM ok for OC/UVing with you OC/UV kernel? I think this will be the second ROM I have ever installed. Haven't bothered to try anything since first getting Val Final.

Yeppers it does.
I updated the link. I actually took it down on purpose, wanted to look at something but never had time.
I was troubleshooting an error message during boot time, so I traced it to the CIQ trying to execute some on-boot code, which was removed by Krylon. Strangely the original code itself doesn't do much, it's initilizing a broadcast receiver with an empty onReceive method. Removing this was a moot point, it probably didn't do much. I disabled the BOOT_COMPLETED permission for the service to avoid the error message.
So I looked at the CIQ more closely. What I found is a little peculiar. The main CIQ code is integrated quite deeply into the framework, it cannot be removed easily, there are just too many calls that send various metrics to the CIQ Agent. The main CIQ classes are not in the framework.jar, they are in ext.jar. Probably that's why nobody noticed them and never tried to modify them. What is strange that many calls seem to be not implemented. For example the sumbitMetric is an empty method, shouldSubmitMetric always returns zero, etc.
It's possible that T-Mobile decided not to use CIQ on our phone (at least extensively), but instead of removing it completely just plugged few calls.
I'm removing the "CIQ removed" description because it's actually not removed, although may not be doing much.
I cannot get it to boot. After the "Galaxy S 4G" screen, the screen goes back then nothing ever happens. I rebooted into CWM (which still shows Team Acid's logo) and tried fixing permissions to no avail.
Given that the OP says it won't wipe programs, data, etc, was it possibly a Bad Idea™ to have wiped everything before installing this ROM?
Update:
Indeed, installing from a blank phone (literally, I wiped everything) didn't work for me. I flashed Bryan's one-click with CWM, it booted, rebooted into recovery, flashed this, and it booted. Now for testing. Thanks, Anton!
I had the same issue as well... Thought it was just my phone

Would be interesting to look at the logcat to see where it's stuck.
There was a possible problem with 1.0.3 that I pulled off. The current one that I re-uploaded - I tried to install in on both fresh phone (after factory reset) and on top of a running ROM , everything seemed fine.
The problem was with framework-res.apk. I had to resign in because I changed some permissions in AndroidManifest.xml (related to CIQ), but something went wrong the first time.
There is a little bit of controversy with signing of framework-res.apk. Some say it's OK, some say the original cert should be kept. Maybe somebody else would chime in and tell me if I screwed it up or not.
wont flash
I wipe everything, the ROM installs, and then black screen...noting. Let it sit for 20min however this did not resolve issue. I was able to install Valhalla no prob. flashed your rom on top of Valhalla and then my phone boots your rom. Do i need to install on top of another rom? I should just be able to whipe my phone and install your rom correct?

I can probably capture that because I can use adb to get into the OS. I ran top to see what, if anything, was hogging CPU but there was nothing obvious & CPU usage was minimal. I have the phone running now but I'm willing to wipe it again and re-flash. Mind you, I did more than factory reset. I was quite literally trying to start from scratch, so here's what I did (if this helps at all):
Backed up /efs to my PC
Backed up the SD card to my PC
Wiped cache
Wiped Davlik cache
Wiped battery stats
Performed a nandroid backup
Copied the backup from /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup to my PC
Formatted /data, /system, & /sdcard
Rebooted back into recovery
Copied the ROM to the SD card
Flashed it
Let it cook for ~20 minutes
So it was quite literally a blank slate.

I appreciate all of your hard work. When I get the chance I'll download the latest, follow my steps above, & let you know what I find.

Wow, you really wiped everything from your phone
I'd appreciate if you send me the log. All you need to do is to save the file with "adb logcat -d >MyLogFile.log" after couple of minutes of this black screen. On an factory reset phone ODEXed ROM should boot very fast the first time because it doesn't have to build Dalvik.
I just tried downloading from my own link and reinstalling, everything seems OK. I also tried installing after full phone reset yesterday, it went fine too. I don't want to reset and restore everything anymore, too lazy
If it proves to be the certificate in the framework-res.apk, I may need to put the original AndroidManifest.xml back.
Hey Anton,
You can snag the logcat from here. In case anyone wants them & to clarify what I did, here are the steps I followed (similar to above but more detailed):
- Boot into CWM
adb reboot recovery- Disable voodoo lagfix
- voodoo lagfix- disable lagfix- /system lagfix off- Reboot
- Create a backup directory structure on your PC (mine is in C:\Users\username\Downloads\SGS4G)
mkdir backupscd backupsmkdir efs nandroid sdcard- Backup /efs to your PC
cd efsadb pull /efs/- Backup /sdcard to your PC
cd ..\sdcardadb pull /sdcard/- Boot into CWM
adb reboot recovery- Wipe cache
- wipe cache partition- Wipe Dalvik cache
- advanced- Wipe Dalvik Cache- Wipe battery stats
- Wipe Battery Stats- Create a nandroid backup
- +++++Go Back+++++- backup and restore- backup- Copy the backup to your PC
cd ..\nandroidadb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/- Format /data
- mounts and storage- format /data- Format /sdcard
- format /sdcard- Format /system
- format /system- Reboot into CWM (necessary for CWM to see the sdcard contents)
- +++++Go Back+++++- advanced- Reboot Recovery- Copy the ROM to the sdcard (this is from the directory in which the ROM is located on your PC)
adb push ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.0.3.zip /sdcard/- Flash the ROM
- install zip from sdcard- choose zip from sdcard- ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.0.3.zip- Reboot & let it sit for ~10 minutes
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to ensure there was transparency in what I did.
stephen_w,
Seems that it's not framework-res.apk issue, it's not complaining about any certificates.
A lot of unknown permissions in the log, but it's OK, we've removed some of the system packages that grant those permissions but they do more harm than good in the end.
The crash has something to do with that: *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: PowerManagerService. Hm......
Question. If after loading the ROM you shut down completely (power off) first and then boot instead of rebooting right from CWM, will it still do the same?
Btw you don't have to clean everything that extensively. Just do factory reset to erase /data and flash. Dalvik and /cache are cleared but the installer, the /system is completely overwritten anyway.
Weird...it flashed fine for me with no wipe....
I did move on and never gave it a break in....but it did work

I usually don't do it that extensively at all. I was writing a process for myself in case I wanted to really clean it out So this gave me a good excuse to test it. I was having some weirdness which prompted me to write the instructions for myself.
I haven't tried shutting it down after the install. I can certainly try that for you, if you like.
So its something to do with power management. That's weird. Is there something we did to our phones before that is causing the issue now?

Doubtful. Nothing I can think of, off-hand. I have to wait until later this afternoon/evening to reflash it and try powering off vs. rebooting from recovery. If you have the chance, please feel free and let us know what happens.
Hello guys,
I've got a problem and after searching Google, XDA and the OnePlus forums, I decided to ask for help. Please help!
I reverted my OPO back to stock COS 13.1 from SultanXDA's build, last night (and lost my whole internal storage in the process - apparently the COS recovery Factory Reset is a FULL wipe, internal storage included, not just a data wipe. Thank you Cyanogen *presents middle finger* ) and everything works alright except for one thing: the theme manager.
I am on the latest COS update (screenshot attached) and the problem with the Theme manager is that, no matter what theme I have installed, it still shows up like the second screenshot attached.
When I try to apply it, it applies well, but it has no wallpaper. So, applying themes works fine, except for the wallpaper.
I already tried to clear cache, app data, restart, set storage permissions to allow for the app, even tried a factory reset, nothing helped. Did anyone else encounter this? If so, how did you fix it? If not, do you guys have any idea what to do? Please help, I'm already pissed off that I lost everything on internal storage and didn't make a backup because nothing should touch storage unless specifically requested and except for a bootloader lock/unlock, so I'm a few inches away from throwing this phone out the window, literally!
Help!
You talking about how it doesn't show the status bar correctly? I have this going on also...
As for the wallpaper, notice how it says customized, tap on your theme again and then tap reset.

It doesn't show the status bar, icons, wallpaper, anything.
I tried resetting it too and it shows up with no wallpaper, same icons as system etc.
A no go...
Any suggestions?
OK, so after searching franticly for the past few hours, I've found out what to do to fix this:
1. Go to Settings > Apps
2. Click on the menu dots in the right hand upper corner > Show System
3. Find Themes Provider > Clear App Data and Cache
4. Force close, along with Theme Manager and Chooser
5. Restart.
Hope this helps everyone else who might be having trouble with this
