Themes for Donut?

I'm using an "official" type donut rom with root. I was curios if the cayn 4.1.11 themes would work for stock 1.6 donut roms?

I am curious of this as well

this is what they make nandroid for. it will either boot and work or it won't, since most themes only have .apks it is feasible that it will work, it may require another services.jar though, and if it has Stericson's Lockscreen then it probably will not boot, bc the modded services.jar in it will not work with akirah's rom (i have tested that).

i was searching for this (themes for 1.6) and finally found it today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
scroll down to post #7 and those work no problems. (with htc 1.6 donut)

as an update... i tried using a few different Cyan 4.1.11.1 themes and none of them worked. Ended up restoring my Nandroid every time.
So it looks like for now theres only Hero and Gchrome for donut?

There are only 4 themes available for Donut 1.6, one of which is for ADP only...they are in post #7 of the link that trexxcrap2 posted above...hopefully there will be more soon...I really would like the fadetoblue them for this build.

plz
can anyone of you post the links of the themes for donut here
i have unrooted vodafone htc magic 32b with stock donut
thank you

you need a rooted phone for themes

There's lots of old metamorphs floating around in the general android themes section. Flashables are harder to find since they're framework dependent. You'll need a theme converter to change the .thm file to a .xml file to use them with the new version, but after that any 1.6 rom should work. But of course, nand first.

Theme Question

Greetings,
I have recently been changing around my ROM to find a faster more stable version. However I am in love with the Hero. So I'm not sure whats the difference between a theme and a ROM? Can I run JACs Eclair2.1-beta3 with a hero theme? Any info is appreciated.

A theme is something designed to change the look of your phone. Your ROM is which version of the Android OS you are using. You MUST use a theme designed for your ROM. If it is a theme you flash, it needs to be compatible with the version of the ROM you are using. If you use MetaMorph, you have to ensure it is for the right ROM set. MetaMorph's can work on multiple ROM's whether it be 1.6(Cy, Super-D, Wes's, Dwang's), 2.1/Eclair (Jac, Manup, csto, King's) or Hero.
The ROM you are using is a 2.1/Eclair ROM therefore you must use a theme designed to work for it. There are a few 2.1 MetaMorph's but not many of us have began porting our work to 2.1 yet.

[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.

[REQ] JV1 theme ported to 2.2.1

Anyone interested or already working on porting the JV1 theme to JS8 or any 2.2.1?
I know you might think "Why not just flash JV1?", well for 1, there are still gingerbread issues with some apps i'm using. And we can admit that performance wise of JV1 is inferior to any of Darky's or Doc's.
I already started trying to play around framework-res.apk but I keep on ending up with bootloop. If you can share me tips on how you do your themes, i could probably resume on doing this.

I've been hoping someone would bring it over for a while now. The pulldown menu alone is far superior to the 2.2.1 version.

i've been PMing themers for tips and advices. hopefully they'll be helpful

Mod specific

Hi, i know we have a lot of mods for various roms like runny and arhd, my question is..can we use these mods on other roms that use the same sense etc,
I only ask because i know its luck of the draw if they do,for example i downloaded an ics theme for runny that was for another rom, the original theme seemed to leaved when even a small change was done in rctweaks, with this ics theme, the theme remains and is sweet..
Basically a long winded way..
Do the mods work on other roms because of the sense version,asop etc
or is it specific to the framework as i know when you use the kitchen it is based on that
Thanks in advance,probably is a stupid question yes

I don't work on any ROM's. Other than for me.
Rule of thumb
Sense specific mods won't work on AOSP/CM7.
CM7/AOSP specific mods won't work on Sense.
Backup & Flash, the only way for sure to know.

-
Hi andy,yep i understand you cant mod cm to sense and vice versa etc, but i mean
for example,ive got a theme for runny...but im running virtuious,both running sense 3.5.
some work for each other and some dont?
just curious to why

There could be a million & 1 reasons.
Framework differences, Sense version, kernel, installed system apps. The list could go on.
Your best bet is to make a backup, flash/apply the mod and see if it works. If not, restore.

Lol I use that method a lot, ill keep doing so
