[Q] Boot animations and themes

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.

Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.
Thanks

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.

[Q] Can I flash a hero CM6.1 theme in a G1 ?

I have a G1 with CyanogenMod 6.1, my question is
Can I flash a Hero cdma theme (CM6.1) in my G1 ??
for example can I flash this hero theme in my G1 using Cyanogen 6.1 ? :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839824

do a nand backup and try it out...
if it doesnt work and your drooling over getting a hero look on your G1, try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784116&highlight=hero+launcher

If theme them doesn't contain a file which is specific to the device (Hero) it should be fine. So framework-res is fine, actually I can't think of anything that would be included that's h/w specific. Nandroid then give it a try.

I have a theme that is specifically for those that like the Hero look.
Check out my signature.
If you combine it with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784116&highlight=hero+launcher it'll be tough to tell the difference by looking at it.
Many report that the rom is actually FASTER with the theme installed b/c of all of the compression that I used for the png files.

[Morph] Lockscreen Background CM 6.1.1

I was trying to figure out how to change the lockscreen background. Found a post on the N1 forum. Rori~ was really helpfull and got this working in a mater of second. All the credit for the morph goes to Rori~, just wanted to share with fellow G2/CM users.
Edit: This morph has only been tested on the n1 and g2 running CM Rom 6.1 (stable) Follow the link in post two for the original posting. If it works on anyother rom please post your results.

I updated http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865565
Cool, it works on G2

Is there a way this could be implemented into the CM rom?
Like some kind of switcher in the cyanogen settings...

Sent my phone into boot loop, i'm assuming because I had a theme already installed?
CM 6.1 nightly 55 w/ gingerbread theme.

Could be... I'm on the stable rom, no theme, have had no issues

would this also work on Enom's rom?

It might, it has only been tested on n1 and g2 phones running cyanogen rom 6.1, you can try and post your results, make sure you backup first

sense 2.0?

ok so i searched and searched but could not find a definitive answer for my question. is there a flashable zip to install sense 2.0 on a sense 1.0 rom? like the portrait and landscape rosie and htc hub deal from myn's warm z, on warm2.2 rls5 respectively? i flashed warm z and loved it, despite the lack of 4g, even though i dont use it much, i just prefer to have a rom that runs seamlessly, like my current rls5 setup.
any insight would be helpful.

No.

NO..
sense is not just a launcher or .. some app....
it is deep imbeded into the os...it is too tied into the everything.

Sense needs to be integrated with whatever rom your using

The answer is : no, no, nin, いいえ.

Mikz new rom has sense 2.0 and is very slick/stable. Highly recommend it.

So did it ever fix it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

nope. why do you think it takes a team of professional, full time, fully paid, talented developers (htc) to upgrade a phone? takes quite a bit of work...

I am Not saying this will work, but in this thread they have a flashable.zip first you install the 2.3.3 gingerbread rom (sense 2.1 stripped out) then flash the zip to add sense back in. (Could try just flashing the sense on the 2.3.3 Evo Leak to see if it upgrades)
Now the landsacpe piece dosen't work yet, and there are a few other glitches with 2.3.3 until a kernel is released, but if your bored make a nandroid play around

you should have a working EVO Shift port!

You should look to get a different base since this is not so common. Also is this the xperia look you are trying to get? There are a few roms in the rom section that has a fully themed xperia look. Check it out.

There are none that i know of. The only thing is to individually look for some of the settings. Like there is 1 for lockscreen and the apps but that's all i know of and i have been on here for a while. While i am a fan of the xperia themes they are not all the great in terms of performance with the phone. The stock or AOSP stuff are usually the best you will get. Some of the xperia mods have been known to cause FC closure on some apps.
The latest firmware also is still not supported properly for mods. As you can see in the rom dev section they are all using older bases. The new rom only came out a few days now soo development for it won't be here yet. I suggest you try back the Chaos HD but ask for detailed instuructions for it.
I am using ultimarom by the way. Very awesome and you should give it a try.
