Default RC33 and theme issues [Theme Developers] update!

Just thought I'd share what I've run across so far. After updating to rc33 the market would not work, I have since done a wipe, tried installing a complete them I converted to rc33 and it gets stuck on the second boot screen, so I decided to play with some files and see what could be causing it. I removed the framework-res.apk and replaced it with the stock one. Now I'm getting to the android logo screen, so something may have changed with framework and I am using the template to create this theme. I noticed I was still getting txt messages even though I was on the android logo screen, I've seen this before when I removed Launcher.apk and didn't replace it. So I replaced my launcher with stock and it boots up my theme, sorta.
I have a list of icons that do not take the new icons i've created.
Amazon
Camera
myFaves
Market
Pictures
Settings
Superuser
Terminal
Voice Dialer
Voice Search
Youtube

Everything else is working just fine and copied over. What kinds of problems has anyone else run into? I'm done for the night, gonna work on it some more tomorrow

**Update
including a link to a modified jf rc33 file that frees up system space by removing media files

I can't get past the Android screen. Is there a way to go back to RC30?

I updated to RC33 and had Buuf installed before the update. Installed the RC33 first then the radio, no issues. It even kept my Buuf wallpaper.

I just installed the light version of Buuf that the creator released a bit ago and had no issues updating that. Maybe he can shed some light

did you make a back up with Nandroid? You can also put RC30 update on your SD card and boot into recovery console and update back from there.

Not sure how the new Radio is going to work with RC30 though

I am not a creator but I have some input I guess. It is very puzzling.
I edited Stericson's stock theme template, changed app icons (removed some apps) resigned each APK, modified the framework-res.apk (did not touch any xml files, and tried to only modify images I thought were changed to create Blue Star 5 - my basis for theming). I zipped it up, signed the zip. And updated my phone.

It took a while to get past the android logo (which by the way did not change color as I expected with the new framework files), but eventually booted up for me. No problem. My case may be special, because before I applied my update I removed some stock APK's and all the stock ringtones, ensuring I had room to spare on my /system partition. I removed amazon, email, and IM - the APK's and ODEX's. My update zip that I used initially to apply my theme contained :
All APK's except those listed above - resigned all that I modified.
And JUST the framework-res.apk

I have since modified some more files in the framework and created another update.zip that just included that file - it applied just fine.

However, no one else has been able to install this theme on their phone (that I know of), and I can't figure out why. Maybe it is the space that I had free?

I am at work right now but when I get home I am going to start from scratch. last night I was using stericson rc33 and was installing the hole drawable folders to the apk.did not think there are new images in some of the apk.that is what you get when you try to get a theme out fast and I am going to look to make sure the images are still the same name .there is some new apk. in rc33 and not just voicesearch.apk and tmoimplugin.apk and like i said at work so i don't have the names rc30 has one apk. not in rc33

yeah tmoimplugin.apk is where all the emoticons for Im are stored.
I just tried editing the clock in launcher and applying it but it didn't work. Maybe it does have somehthing to do with system being too full, that could explain why only some icons are changing.

Anyone know how to get rid of the theme and wipe everything back to RC 33?
I don't have access to my sd card so I can't reinstall RC 33.
