Is there a way to make a personal customized IconChanger theme ?

I have a few icons I downloaded (about 20) and I'm sick of changing them one by one after each ROM reflash ...
How do I make an IconChanger theme that I can import easily after reflash ?
Thanks !

[Q] Hensemode - themes

Hi,
I'm using Hensemode ROM and I guess I can flash some themes there. I found a lot of themes in the other part of forum but could you please tell me which themes work with this ROM? How can I find it out? As I saw, most of themes work with CM7 or m1ndh4x8r-RoMs. Can they also work with HenseMode ROM? Thank you

The themes are mostly UOT kitchen themes.
Grab systemUI.apk, htcresources.apk and framework-res.apk from hensemod, and go to: here.
Download your zip file and then apply it in cwm recovery.
Other themes dont work on my themed rom, because you then lose a lot of my build in themed stuff
Clarified?

[Q] Android themes question (very basic questions)

Hello I'm new to android. This is my first smartphone.
I had an ipod touch before , but that wasn't as confusing and complex as android is to jailbrake or install themes. Android overall is a very confusing system. It was very easy to theme and jailbrake my ipod touch.
I have been googling this question for some time and im still confused
My questions are:
How do install android theme?
Do all themes work for all phones?
Do you need a program to install themes (go launcher ex? what is that?)
And lastly are themes made for specific roms/phones.
Thanks.

Themes will be in a cwm flashable zip that you put on your sdcarx and flash in recovery.
Themes are very specific to the phone and rom that you are using. Sometimes I theme designed for one rom can work on another rom but that's certainly not guaranteed. Themes from a different phone will never work.
As I mentioned above, you don't need a specific program to install themes you just need to be rooted, which will install cwm on your phone.
You can find themes in the themes and apps section of this forum.

I just installed this amazing and fast rom :cm7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569895
And installed the Mate theme for ADW, so your saying that i don't need any launcher like ADWlauncher to install a theme? What the difference?
By the way the themes that come in .zip are complete?

Okay there's themes for the whole rom and themes for just the launcher. Themes for the launcher are found in the market and are only compatible with that launcher. Those will only affect your icons and app drawer. Themes for the rom affect your menus, status bar, etc. Now cm7 handles themes a bit differently. Cm7 themes are also found in the market (search for cyanogenmod themes). Once you download and install a theme you want, go to your app drawer and open theme chooser then pick the theme you downloaded and then reboot. No need to use recovery for cm7 themes.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense now

1 more question:
Do the zip themes that you need to flash in recovery don't use extra ram?
Example go launcher or adw launcher run on top of the system, while zip themes patch the system files so there is no extra service running. Is this true?

That is correct. All they do is replace the images with new themed images. No extra services running.

[Q] Flashable themes and getting back

Hi guys , till date I have only used theme chooser themes from which switching to other themes is easy , but Is it the same case for cwm flashable themes also ?
Will I be able to switch to other Cm9/aokp themes from Theme chooser ?

Flashable themes that are still around and being updated...theme the portions that are impossible to theme with the theme chooser.
To get back to your stock rom theme...
You must simply flash the rom again without wiping anything.
Keep in mind:
This will also remove:
A ) System apps that you've installed manually (like myself, I install Cerberus as a system app).
B ) Custom Boot audio.
C ) Your custom Kernel if you've installed one.
Anything in the /system/ directory that you changed.
This will NOT change your settings...apps (except system apps, as mentioned) or anything like that.
Themes from theme changer will still work after...
But the missing parts that theme changer themes (or the parts the theme developer left out) will still remain as the theme you flashed.

Thanx . That means if I flash a theme and I can switch to cm9 themes from theme chooser though some parts will be remain themed as it would become the default system theme ?

Yep.
At least if the flashable theme changed anything that the theme chooser cannot change.
Best method (always) is to select the system theme...and then the new theme.
This will clear out anything that theme chooser can theme.
BUT...to completely clear any them that was flashed, flash the rom.zip again.

No theme support after upgrading to Oreo?

Hello folks. Yesterday I upgraded to latest avaialable Oreo developer rom (global).
After I flashed I realised that there is no any theme store app, moreover when I get to settings/themes there are 3 stock themes and no option to download any more!
One of the best advantage of Miui Roms gone?
I tried to install theme by miui theme editor like I used to do before bo even if it appear on theme list it doestnt work. Any one could help?
Do you think themes will back on stable release?

Because themes aren't supported in your region
Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Region > set to Hong Kong, you'll then get themes.
Download themes then revert back to your region.

Thank you mate that was really helpfull. Themes now work. Is it the same with face unlock becouse I cant find it aswell (I read that oreo will support faceunlock feature)

i have the same issue. So every time i want to change theme i should change the region in order to use the theme app, or is there any other way to get it permanent to my region?
