Question [Q] all apps crashing after installing theme using romtoolbox pro

Hi all.

I have been pretty dum and did not back up my device, thinking it would all be ok, however... that is never the case for me. I installed a Theme using ROM Toolbox Pro, am using 3 Musketeers Insanely Cool Sense 4, and suppose thought would have a mess around with the look, dont ask why. i just decide to do silly things..

what has happened is every app now seems to be unstable, and comes up with an error.

anyway's i do have a back up of the old theme, but for the life of me dont know where to copy the files onto my device. I just hope that copying the files back will do the trick.

all else failing i will have to force myself back into re-installing the full rom, and startijng all over again, if this is the case does anyone know how i could get into my messages ap to make a back up of all my recent messages as quite a lot of these messages are important to me.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

Steve

Couldn't you just reinstall the rom.zip without wiping data, this should just replace all the system files with working ones... Make sure you do a back up though! If not just search the Play Store, there's loads of apps that backup messages, contacts, and call logs, try this one.. Here

ahh good thinking, i hadn't thought of re-installing rom without clearing cache etc..

backing up things is a bit more difficult as play store crashes. messages crashes, all the system things crash..

Thanks mate, glad to know there's always a genius in this site at all times.

I just wish i had thought about re-installing the Rom earlier, instead of rushing around trying to think of how to fix it the hard way..

all apps work and my messages are all still there.

Now i should really get back to my night shift in the office..

Cheers

Steve

Nuts..

Going to have to keep this open for a bit, I may have used Titanium Backup to try restore stuff when in my slight panic, and have noticed lost 6 Days worth of text messages, does anyone know how / if i could possibly try get these back somehow?


am so tired...
