What ROM are you on?
If you're on Tweaked and you're going to change themes using TweakTools, it will automatically mount /system and wipe cache plus Dalvik cache.
If you're not on Tweaked, I'd recommend wiping cache and Dalvik cache as well. You can always wipe data/factory reset as well to be safe. Remember to mount /system in CWM.

Or the easy way and just flash the rom over the top....
now you have stock theme...

As cujo said, reflash the ROM over the top without wiping anything.
A quick primer on themes: they aren't just a collection of color or image changes. They're more like mini-roms that are built on top of a specific rom version. They change a lot of core apk's to do what they do. That's the reason that themes are built for specific roms and you should never flash them on a rom for which they are not intended. It's also why if you have a theme installed and wipe data, you will still be on the theme.

Froyo accurate battery mod

Here's an accurate battery mod with a smooth charging animation I made for Froyo using the UOT kitchen. Flash via clockwork/modified 3e and to be safe wipe cache partition and dalvik cache. Cheers.

Before I apply this, do you know where I can find the original stock battery? Or do you know how I can backup my current one?
Make a copy of your stock framework-res.apk
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
How did you make it? I went to the kitchen but I didn't know what to choose for the end tab like when you go to send it in. Do I upload my own framework or is there an easier way to do this? This is ok to do over the stock rooted rom right? Also do you know the exact battery color for the stock rom? I want to simply add the % and not change the color haha I love that blue.

How to port an apk.

How can I port a deoxed gb apk to another GB ROM that is not deoxed? Cuz I try just to install it and it force close it and I already wipe everything ...well where I saw the intructions how to install it the dude say it only for deoxed GB ROM base on jhv . and I wanna see if I can port it to.another GB ROM and how? any help would be great!!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
You can try ripping it from another ROM, then push it by using a root manager. Just make sure the apk you want is from a deodexed GB ROM as well.
I mean thats what I did but it force closed and I wipe and fix err but dosnt work ..

After pushing, remove the original odex, and then delete dalvik cache via CWM.
CWM --> Advanced -->Delete Dalvik Cache
Thanks that help I got it working thank yall !!)))

Hi I tried this and it did not work. I'm trying to use a newer version of a messaging app.

Titanium BU's New Dex Feature

Big problem I just discovered with Titanium Backup that everyone should be aware of... We all know not to backup/restore system settings between Roms...
Well now TB has rolled out a new feature that let's you move the DEX information into the system folder to save space on your data partition. Sounds good, right?
However, if you do so, make sure you don't plan on ever flashing a theme, no-wipe update or any other kind of mod to your phone.
See, with those odex files now in the system partition instead of the dalvik cache, flashable updates that used to wipe the dalvik cache to prevent force closes now can't. Even doing a factory reset won't solve it, because factory reset doesn't wipe /system. You've effectively re-odexed your ROM, preventing ANY changes.
If you've already used this feature, you'll need to either flash a full-wipe ROM to remove the odex files (factory reset isn't enough), or go in and manually delete them through adb shell. If you don't, any time you flash a theme or update to your ROM that doesn't do a full wipe, you'll have force closes.
Good post. (I always avoid odexed roms) . I've used TB for 18mo., and still dont know what 70% of the features do lol. Like market doctor. What is that?

Doesn't that attach your apps to the marketplace, in case you downloaded a file that was not on the market? Im not exactly sure, but that is what my guess would be.
to wipe system in cwm just go to..
mount/system/format
no probs

Well if you wipe system, you would have to re-flash because you would have no system.... which is essentially the same as re-flashing a full-wipe Rom...
The point is it breaks modding system files through normal methods (just push/flash without wiping)...
oic lol i fail'd

Try uninstalling and reinstalling it. I downloaded the FB app on this ROM and so far haven't had any issues with it at all.

Great ROM. Fast and smooth. No issues at all on mine.
Reboot problem after flashing rom
I had a bout of the reboots on Zeus and Revelations that would pop up after recieving a text and i cured it by following advice from Qster
boot into cwm.
Factory reset. Wipe data. Wipe cache.
Goto /advanced: wipe dalvik and optional fix permission.
Go back to main: /mounts menu: format system, format data and format cache.
goto voodoo menu:
at the WHITE text:
toggle - voodoo lagfix next boot: ON
toggle - system conversion: ON
go to main:
two options at this point: 1. flash from sd or 2. reboot RECOVERY and then flash sd
Go for it and i think this will fix the problem

Yes you need to wipe cache and dalvik cache from CWM
(Dalvik cache can be wiped from the advanced menu in CWM)
And no you will not lose any data so no need for backup..
Just be sure you dont factory reset by mistake

Did you clear the cache and dalvik cahce after installing the theme or not??
If not try to wipe your cache and dalvik cache right now(no need to install the theme again)
i wipe them only before flashing the zip
is that mean i need to wipe twice for before and after flashing the zip?

Not sure why it's happening
And if you wanna install a custom rom then first upgrade to xxkpq also pls tell me your requirements,as in if you want all the features to work or if you are willing to sacrifice camera and wifi tethering and stuff
And also backup using rom manager is diff from titanium backup.
The rom manager backup is a backup of the whole phone in case flashing goes wrong on the other hand titanium backup is used for backing up apps and the apps data data

.you dure deodex your rom? See in system framework use file explorer. If the odex still there i think you must try deodex once again..try cf root ganes and deodex in cwm..its more easy to do.
Try fix permission in cwm, it can help on fc.

how to deodex in cwm
i saw it in system/framework
all is jar , framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
no file name with odex

i tried this :
double wipe > fix permission > install zip > double wipe again > fix permission
It's not helping
after booting in , still got FC , than I tried again get into CWM to fix permision with no luck

Check in System/Apps (not in framework )
If you have got two types of file i.e. *.odex and *.apk then you are not deodexed
If you have only *.apk then you are deodexed.
To upgrade to xxkpq just download xxkpq from the development section and follow the guide(also given in development section)
