[ROM] midNIGHT ROM v5.3 EXT4 (Awareness Edition) & BYOR Edition 05/15/2011

[TallGuyTech]

Swype stopped working for me a couple of days ago so I decided to update to the latest verstion (midNIGHT ROM v4.2 (FULL Standard Edition) NCIQ). I started with running Odin, then the OneClickRoot. I installed the above mentioned ROM. Everything is GREAT!

My issue happens when I load either of the Honeycomb themes. I have used both in the past (not at the same time, of course). I wanted to go back to the original. I do the 3x wipe, load the theme, then reboot. The reboot never completes ... it stays on the blue android with the swirl screen. After a while it vibrates, but never leaves this screen. To get back to my phone, I reflashed to midNIGHT ROM v4.2.

Any ideas as to why these themes aren't working?

Thanks!

Are you making sure that you allow the phone to completely boot up once after flashing the ROM before flashing the theme? If not that will cause a boot loop.

Read the OP from the thread you got the theme from to find out if it is compatible with bonsai based roms. Not all themes are.


Not sure who this is to, but thanks for the rep bump!

I got it from the developer's OP (Android Development).

Ok, didn't realize you were using the midNIGHT theme.

I'm stumped. I've never had an issue with his themes. Stupid question I already know the answer to, but I'm going to ask anyway. You didn't mess with anything in the theme's zip file did you?

Nope, didn't mess with the theme's zip file. I just tried to install each theme again and it gets stuck in the blue android with the swirl screen.

The themes I've tried are midNIGHT Theme v4 (Honeycomb).zip and midNIGHT Theme v4.1 Blue HoneyComb Battery (Reboot).zip. I like the original honeycomb battery. I've tried it with the prior v4.2 (BOYR) version and it worked fine. Not really sure what's going on. I used CW3 to install the themes, making sure to 3x wipe before installing. Maybe it's because I've tried to install the v4 theme ... then get stuck on the blue android screen ... then install the v4.1 theme. When that doesn't work I reinstall midNIGHT ROM v4.2.

I'm sure it's something I'm not doing.

I go into CWM v3.0.0.6 and this is what I do:
1. Wipe data / factory reset (3 times)
2. Wipe cache partition (3 times)
3. Go into Advanced
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Go back to main menu
6. Install zip from sdcard
7. choose zip from sdcard. Then I select the theme from the root directory on my sd card

Thanks for your help!

Here's what I'm finding while building my first EB13 theme..... Every time I have a bad boot, I have to reinstall the rom because even with wiping there is leftover data that can cause further problems.
