I need help in removing a theme(ipk file) from my pre.

boosted21 · 09/14/2009, 02:28 PM

Alright lastnight I downloaded and ipk file for the darth vader theme, it was ok but I do not wanted it anymore. I tryied researching on how to remove it and found nothing, does anyone know how to remove that file from my pre? Any help will be appreciated! I have Quickinstall 2.03, I've already whiped my phone to stock but of course it still there.

Thank You in advance.

Scroll down to the bottom of my post and install the uninstall .ipk. It should restore your theme to default.

This worked almost all the way, but not quite. I still show the following icons themed in the launcher:
Help
Sounds
Screen & Lock
Device Info
Location Services
Backup
Regional settings
Wi-Fi

These are left overs from the Mac OS (realize it's not your theme). Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I tried downloading that default theme and it doesn't seem to change anything. I still have the theme there. I've also tried to use the "Revert to Default" option but it's greyed out.

Are there any files on the phone itself that I need to delete or something?

Nihao · 02/23/2010, 04:05 PM

you can use WebOS Quick Install (v3.01) to uninstall themes.
click "Tools"
select "Themer"
click "Revert to Default"

k_harris00 · 05/20/2010, 10:33 PM

wat i did was go to WOQI and was loking for a homebrew to help restore everything but i found something even better i could not delete my theme from preware because it wudnt show up in installed but when i was browsing themes i saw it tried downloading it again but it said alrdy installed a theme.... yayayay

the thing in WOQI is called Emergency reconstruction utility. read its description by clicking it

TrinityisLife · 07/27/2010, 08:50 AM

Do what?

I'm having the EXACT same problem. =\ Any help appreciated, as webOS Quick Install does not recognize the theme, will not allow me to revert to default, and all other themes have bad links. Here's a screen of the message I get when I try to manually download and add a theme: img225.imageshack.us/img225/1761/prex.jpg
Also, that download link in the post above goes to Bloomburg.com. =\

beenoo.bs · 11/30/2010, 12:10 AM

when ever i download theme from preware error installing ipkj

thatplayer89 · 11/30/2010, 10:05 PM

im wondering why no one figured this out yet, but all you have to do instead of going to factory theme , download internals and then go to media/cryptofs/appa/usr/lib/webos-quickinstall and then delete the theme xml and it should start downloading themes agian

I don't understand this? Where do you go to factory theme? download internals? I can't remove my theme. I tried the uninstall ipk twice and it didn't work. the theme is still there. and i don't have any sounds for when i toss a card out of the way or when i receive texts. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Cantaffordit · 12/19/2010, 01:31 PM

factory theme is an option in quickinstall that puts back the default tbeme. Sometimes that's needed to get rid of a stubborn theme.

Cantaffordit · 12/19/2010, 01:34 PM

and you have to restart the pone after a theme change.

plus, always uninstall a theme before installing another one.

nadine_hope · 12/19/2010, 01:52 PM

yeah but the thing is.. I don't know how to uninstall. thats the problem here

Cantaffordit · 12/19/2010, 01:54 PM

first, can you get back to factory theme in quickinstall?

then we can talk about using preware to install/uninstall stuff.
