[Q] How to remove a theme I don't like?

---

I haven't installed a theme yet on my fresh install of CM6.1 rc1, but I want to... just want to know how to remove it before I do so. I searched and found a lot of info but nothing seemed to be directly what I'm asking.

Settings -> ADWLauncher -> Theme Preferences.

If you install one you don't like just reinstall the default one. I downloaded a bunch of free ones from the Android Market and tried them. Once I determined that I didn't like them, I uninstalled the download theme and then it doesn't show up under the Theme Preferences.

So does that mean I should be installing themes through ADW instead of flashing them from Clockwork?

I have only dealt with themes for ADW. If you have some themes that are flashable via ClockworkMod, then I do not have any experience with those. In that case 'nandroid' backups will be your best friend. Make a 'nandroid' backup and then flash a new theme. If you don't like it, then restore your nandroid backup and start again.

I created a theme at the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen so I could get the super circle battery... I have to install it from Recovery according to this page: http://circle.glx.nl/how_to/

Is there another way that I'm missing?

Create a nandroid backup of your current setup before flashing a theme. If you end up not liking a theme then just restore from nandroid to get back.

I finally answered my own question. If I had just read that page I linked to above a little better, I would have seen where they suggest backing up your existing framework-res.apk before flashing the new one. So I did that. Hopefully won't be difficult to put back if I choose to.

Now I just need to find a good ADW theme... preferrably free since I'm broke at the moment. =)
