Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

I have a Q. when changing the theme to new theme, i get the wallpaper from old theme to the new assigned one!!!!.

every time when change to new theme, i have to go to change back ground>then choose the back-ground for my theme. then reboot

How to change themes normally without changing it twice? ( theme+back-ground) or it should be done in 2 steps: changing the back ground then changing the theme then reboot????!!!

Please help,,,,:(:(

Tnx

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

install theme > reboot > switch to theme.
Missing that reboot will cause various wierd problems unless you reset the theme, reboot, then switch back to it again.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

i know, but i mean e.g. now i am using worldcity theme from ovi. Now when i change this theme to black plastic theme and then reboot, i get the back ground of the worldcity theme instead of black plastic back ground theme.

It is happening every time to me when changing themes...
Hopw u understood me...:(

please advise

Noooooooooooooo one!!!!!!

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Install theme. Reboot. Choose theme. Wait.

On my phone it takes some time for all theme features to update - earlier this morning I waited for 40 minutes before it redirected the battery icon for Black Plastic to the correct ones for the theme. And the background image took a good minute or two.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

No no no. Right way to do it is:
- install theme
- choose theme
- reboot

During boot the Maemo OS refreshes all theme elements, so that's why it's required / recommended.

But the opening poster seems to have some other issue if his backgrounds aren't changing.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

yea, i am really having this issue every time changing the themes and really getting annoyed,, :(

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Make a backup using the built-in backup program and then reflash the device and restore backup. That's what I would do :)

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

will try then..:)
Thnx

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

My bad - thanks for clarifying mate :D

Dear D-livil,

I want to thank you so much for the support you provided.
U r the only one besides some how gave me & helped in seeking my Q.

Best Regards

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Well, Well, Well. I think i knew the problem.
when i change the theme to defult theme ( original came in N900 ), everything becomes normal. It seems some themes which are in the Extras have problems & need up-dates.

Themes i am having probles with:
1)- Underconstruction.
2)- Bright Blue.

Cos when i change to 1 of the above themes, and when trying to change another one, everything goes under mess.

regards

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

I still think there's something messed up with your device. Those themes does not have a common issue with backgrounds (ie. no one else has reported problems) and also both of those are working fine on my device. Reflashing would set your filesystem back to defaults and I'm pretty sure everything would work after the flash.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

but, i went through the flashing thread you provided, it has issues with windows 7-64bit.

my laptop is OS windows 7-64bit??!! :(:(
i read the options there, but found it complicated to absorb!!!
well, can u help me please??? i would be more grateful.
BTW, is this the right flasher to install?:
Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool for Fremantle and Diablo, installation package for Windows 7, XP and Vista (x86, 32-bit)

Regards

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

With x64 the easiest way is to disable driver signature check temporaly while flashing. Google for it :)
I have always flashed mine with x86 Win 7 so I can't give any specific instructions :/

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

i will do it in my old laptop (32-bit) then, :)
it is better

I have the same problem, but I'm using the same wallpaper on all themes so it's actually a good thing :)

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Coool, at last gotsomeone with same issue ( Thank God ) hehehe.
So, in ur case, u dont have any problems since no need to change the wallpaper...,
i will re-flash thre N900 & see.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

When doing the re-flashing, will i loose my applications which been installed?

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Yep, and that's why I told you to first make backup using the in-built program. It will backup list of programs you have installed (among other things like settings etc) and allows you to restore all apps with single click (after resoring backup it will ask if you want to launch appmanager for restoring applications also).

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

thanx,
will flash the N900 next week...:)
Thanks my friend D-Iivil for ur great support..
U deserve: +1000 Karama :).

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

My friend, i was trying to flash the N900, but i got this message in flashing windows:
USB not suitable, waiting????
wat to do

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Did you put your device in flashing mode?

When you get the flasher to the stage where it says the "waiting..." -message do the following:
- disconnect usb-cable if it's connected
- shutdown the N900
- open keyboard of N900
- press down "u" key and hold it pressed
- connect usb cable and wait until you see Nokia logo + usb logo on top right corner
- release u-key
- wait while windows installes drivers, after that flasher starts to flash the device

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

i did & this messege i get is after i enter the flasher command

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

I followed step by step from the thread, but seems windows 7 (64-bit) has issues besides i tried to disable the signing & still got same problem,

anyway,
it worked with my desktop...:)
just took 2 min.. cooool
will check & give the feed back
tnx

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Dear, i restored my thing to N900 every thing is perfect expect for the Angery level packs ( 1,2 & 3) they are not restored & when clicking on restore applications, i cant choose them??!!

Any help

Regards

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

You need to download them again , they are payed apps and afaik installation path is different

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

I suppose you need to re-download them from OVI (paid OVI apps cannot be restored). If you login to OVI with your account you should be alble to download them without paying them again. If not, then contact to OVI and tell them you needed to reflash your device and you need those apps again.

Never used QBW so sorry, no help :) Ask from the thread where that program is discussed.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Thanks Anyway..:)

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

OK, so after complete flash of my device the issue is here again.
I removed all the apps that I wasn't actually using and than created backup.
After flashing rootfs and eMMC I restored contacts, setting and bookmarks. Then I removed those defaults installers and restored applications. And with that I installed plastick pack. Changing from default to plastic went fine, but from plastic to default everything was OK except wallpaper. And every change after that with the same result. Wallpaper stays. :confused: It's not something that bothers me much. I'm not changing themes or wallpapers much but still, I expected this to be solved after flashing.
I could install apps manualy after flashing, but I have to restore settings. I have to many configured networks that I need. And I believe that contacts and bookmarks has nothing to do with that.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Hi there! Can you test if your wallpaper changes if you try to set it like this:
- go into desktop editing mode
- tap the gear icon
- tap top bar
- change background
- select the nseries theme as wallpaper

And also, what version of black plastic you're using? I changed the wallpaper changing behaviour to be same what built in changer does with the latest extras-testing and devel-version.

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

when i change themes, i wait for the new theme to load fully, (only the battery and icons shortcuts will not change) it takes about 3 mins on mine, i will reboot when i see the wallpaper changed.

so your saying yours dont change wallpapers even how long you wait?

Re: Problem in Changing themes--please help..:) :(
 

Yeah, it's true that wallpapers won't change immediately when applying new theme. It varies from 30sec to few minutes before it changes, reboot will make the new walls shown right away.
