[Q] changing themes resets phone ? - General Questions and Answers

hellow,
first of all sorry if this has bin asked before i tried searching came up with no founds .
entering the thread name gave me no results aswell.
anyways ,
when i changed my theme on my X10 running CM7 it seemed to reset my icons and downloaded apps meaning i was back on to factory settings.
my question is is this normal ? kinda scared to change my themes after that!
or am i going about it all wrong and should i pick ADW themes instead of the theme chooser itself ?
thnx in advance.

it's not.
Changing theme should not touch your app/setting, ony icons/colors/fonts. :|
Probably something goes wrong with that change.

Aha,
well its bin a while since i picked my theme but i seem to recall it going straight to rebooting after loading x amount of time.
after reboot sending me into the settings guide you get when doing a full wipe.
BUT as you said that it shouldn't do that i tried again .
and the result was changing evrything as it should exept offcourse the icons i selected manually so it worked cheers!!

[Q] Auto Hidden menu -G2X (P999)

I'm a newbie in real trouble ....hopefully not by making a new thread on XDA.
If I 'm violating rules pl delete this.
I m with my G2X.I have stock 2.3.3 OTA rom.nandroid ,CWM ,Baseband July 2011 ,
Whenever I press "0" or "#" on my dialer it automatically goes to hidden menu.This cannot be undone even when i wipe factory data,clear cache,clear delvic cache,or by flashing a new rom(stock froyo or gb)..etc.
This problem makes number dialing impossible
Only way is to flash CM 7.then it doesn't come.
How can i undone this auto hidden menu from coming.
Thanks in advance
You answered your own question; **** LG/2.3.3 based ROMs, use CM based ROMs.

the same here , i think it started after i upgraded to 2.3.4 that was released a few weeks ago, i had to upgrade using the LG official flasher , its a must to upgrade the baseband , its really annoying ,
im almost sure there is some secret code to dial that will disable this menu , that is enabled some how
at last , i fixed it , this time i took a little more time to think of the matter and i came to a conclusion , this matter happens due to some thing happened in the part of the FW that doenst get touched when flashing or wiping the rom , so reflashing the rom didnt fix it , first thing i did i made a backup of every thing using the custom recovery , then i went into the menu (the secret menu that keeps poping up) i got into it by pressing # which always happens to bring up that secret menu , after that i did a factory reset which is found in that menu , not the one you get into it from the settings icon , it took some time to reset , a lot longer than i thought it might take , just leave it alone till it restarts , after that you will find your self in the initial screen , like the one when you flash a new rom , just skip every thing and go directly to your dialer and press # or 0 and see for your self that its fixed at last , no secret menu any more , just a normal 0 or # , now you can do a full restore from the recovery menu using your backup , dont worry , after restoring every thing the problem wont come back ,
good luck every body
i cant understand this step i do it but not work pls help

just do a factory reset using the factory reset option you find inside the secret menu , not the one you usually use by going into settings >privacy
this will reset every thing , i mean really every thing , and it will go back to normal
you can do a full backup and after finishing the reset do a restore , yes thats right , this will not bring back the problem again
I appreciate all the great work

[Q] Notification bar graphic problem

I have some graphic errors on the transparent notification bar.
This problim exists with different wallpapers and only while bar is transparent.
My phone is stock, no root.
Is there anyone with the same problem and know how to fix?
thats weird...
have you tried to see if the problem is still there after using a different scene / skin ?
if it is. Put back the stock wallpaper, and if it still doesnt fix it. try a factory reset.
has it always been like this ? or did it just happen out of the blue ?
It is still there with other scenes/profiles and with stock wallpaper.
I have this problem since first boot.
try a factory reset, if that doesnt fix it send it back
or root it and flash a different rom
Thanks! I will try to reset.
it seems to me its just a bug in the ROM or at least in the theme part of the ROM, providing there are no other issues with the phone i doubt it can be hardware related. So a wipe or a new ROM should fix it...
thats if you want to flash a new ROM ? Surely your into development and stuff because here you are.... on XDA lol
I will wait with unlocking until it is clear that there are no other problems with my phone, so i can send it back with warranty.
Hard resetting or flashing RUU will not solve this problem, I've tried it.
I have found more strange graphic errors in themes and background menue.
Can someone check this on his phone?
I will find out if it stands in context to the notification bar problem.
that looks like a damaged screen Is it only there on that particular app. or is it there all the time, even on homescreen..
have you checked for updates under settings ??
you could either root and flash a new ROM, or send it back and get a replacement.. i would send it back. because if it comes back after modding the device. They may not replace it.

Font installer Root app. Need help!

So I've installed this Font Installer Root app from the Play store and it worked fine changing the font after reboot. After I noticed the font isn't to my liking I tried changing the font again and after another reboot the old font kinda stuck and won't change. I figured if I do a factory reset it might change things back to normal but it didn't. Can someone please help me get my old font back and I know I'll never be using that app again. By the way I tried contacting the developer but had no luck getting a response. My phone is rooted but I have no custom recover nor any custom ROM installed. I hope I'm typing this in the right section.

Cant change the word "android" as boot animation!

Hi
I have gs5,lineageos 14.1, android 7.1.2.
I used to change the boot logo without any problems for long time(manually and using an app). One time I installed a bad animation (from 2011), since then unstead of cool boot animation the phone shows the word "android", Tried changing it back to random ones that used to work and stock manually and via the app but no change. I tried "galvic"(?) And cache wipe and no change either. The bootlogo is at system/media/bootanimation.zip .
I think the corrupted bootanimation from 2011 triggered some kind of fail safe strategy (??) So i need to disable it somehow?
Yeah btw I am an idiot and have no backup( man I think Ilearned that the haRd way today).
Any help will be appreciated & Thanks in advance.
Quick update :
