Install themes - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've never run into but does anyone know how to install a theme easily? I've only ever done it before by installing Rom but I like this current Rom and just want to get rid of these..thanks guys for being an awesome community.

You flash a theme the same way you flash a rom. The theme only overwrites the files that it needs to on the ROM. you need to make sure that the theme you are flashing is compatible. What ROM are you using?

I have a question relating to this: I want to use rovers cm7 nightly theme over cm7 nightly rom how exactly would I do this? are all themes the same if the developer doesn't give instructions on how to install is... sorry if this is a stupid question and thank you

this theme is sick nice work is there any chance you could port this one of the stock g2 roms?
Nice theme! I'm loving it so far!
One thing though, is there any way to make the battery status green? I'm not talking about the percentage number from the CM settings, i'm talking about the actual battery icon itself like how it looked in the stock theme?

Do I need to flash this over a fresh rom?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
For everyone wondering how to apply a theme.
It flashes like a regular ROM using ROM Manager.
Install ROM from SD card.
You DON'T wipe data and cache. You only need to start fresh if you have already themed the ROM.
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM!
Just in case things don't work out how you wanted.
Thanks very much for this theme. Flashed over the nightly; the only change I had to make was to apply the default Dark CM UI Tweak to make the statusbar/notification text white instead of black (black on black != readable).
Thanks for the feedback guys. Which stock ROM did you guys want a port to?
Sorry, I don't know much about the G2 or its ROMs.
Its an amazing theme, thx for the hard work, makes the G2 have a unique look, love the fly by animations on the lockscreen etc.

I would guess for stock:

Thanks, uploaded the first port for Fastludeh22's OTA Deodex ROM. I used Ryanmo5's Nextheme port as a template, so props to him.
Please report any bugs.
When i try to flash the fastludeh22's version i get an installation aborted... anyone else experiencing this?
i redownloaded the rom 3 times too

Well that was just the first try, I am waiting for some more feedback.
Which recovery do you guys use for the G2?
You need to turn off signature verification.

Flashed yesterday afternoon. Looks great. I experienced one lock up when trying to answer a call. Had tune in radio running so most likely completely unrelated to this theme. We are using clockworkmod recovery. Greatly appreciate your work. This is a great clean look with smooth transitions.

Good job mate
Bravo mec
Looks awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for, but I don't understand how to 'apply using CWM'..
Do I need to replace the original files with your files using root explorer for example?
Well done buddy, looks so clean.

CWM is a custom recovery image that you can use to 'Flash' roms/themes/mods etc. Check out the dev section for a howto and more info. Awesome theme btw, it's got the stock look but with a much more refined feel, great work
Forgive me for this, i did search but in my experience forum searches somehow miss out what im looking for, can I just install clockworkmod through rom manager or is it more complicated than that? Im on rooted stock ke7 so I understand I'd need a deodexed rom such as lightening rom before I did this, although I don't know what deodexed means lol
Awesome! I love the whole look and feel of it. Amazing, keep on the good work and for all your Launcher Pro / ADW users, you really have to try this Go Launcher EX. It has the same customisation. However the screen transistions are a lot smoother!
Just what ive been waiting for, lol this will be the reason i actually bother to flash a custom rom.

Clockwork is installed via Chainfires kernel for KE7 or KE2 roms, flash this for clockwork mod but if you want to use this theme first flash Villainrom and deodexed just means the rom can be themed really.
Hi together, I'm new on this forum and I have a question about this theme. Do I need to root my phone or not. If yes, then where can I find some theme without rooting my phone, because I dont want to lose my warranty! And sry for my bad english!
Changelog 01-06-2011:
- Shadow added on my icons inside my go launcher theme, see screenshots!
Didn't work for me on Lightening 1.1, everything force close and the phone wouldn't respond. All is well though as I have just flashed VillainRom and flashed this theme as well, this theme is exactly my style. Not all flashy and glowy. Its perfect! Thanks.

Use this kernel and it should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
But I dont get it.. Installed Villain 1.1 and still no luck.
The lockscreen is all messed up. I have the pattern lock and the dots are not within the circels but outside. Also Im not getting the awesome lockscreen you have.
I do and did have widgetlocker installed, but even if i disable or delete it Im not getting the lockscreen.
After flashing the zip i still have the touchwiz interface. Only thing that changed is messing up my pattern lock and changing the battery icon etc.
Also the messages are still rounded and not sqare as shown.
Or should I install your modified Go Launcher to get the phone like shown on the pictures in first post?
Could you please make a step by step how-to?
Changelog 02-06-2011:
- Some icons updated
Great Job. Can you please change network, Data and Wifi notifications to blue color like battery color (so all notifications will be consistent).
Thanks again.

Did you wipe cache and Dalvik first..Are you using CWM to flash and I would try flashing again..I've only tried it with EpicAOSPMod V-1 rom and stock kernel...It is"Universal"so I would think it should work for all others...Try it again wiping cache and Dalvik and let me know how you make out!!
I think ROMS with NO CIQ is CAUSING ALL THE F.C'S!!
Guys..I think it may be ROMS that have NO CIQ that is causing all the Force closes..I just remembered...I tried installing a similar theme on my AEMOD and had recieved the same PROBLEMS...That has to be the PROBLEM... Sorry guys...I will change the O.P and state to look out for that...There is a member who installed it also and had NO PROBLEMS...I wil lPM him and ask which Rom he is using..
Thanks for your interest in my theme, it really means alot and motivates me to update
I'm going to update the theme at the weekend, for more info have a look on the original thread, thanks.
I install this on I fresh flash (Wiped 3x ) on StarBurst ROM[10/9/11] [v1.5]
without any problems besides gmail FC. I just remove it and put the old on back in.
Thanks or the theme Dully and thanks Jay for posting it over here.

you say to wipe data + cache + dalvik 3 times, wont that delete profile and everything on my phone which has starburst 10/8 nightly installed?
if i wipe data? that sometimes causes phone to freeze because I would not be installing a rom afterwards?
if i want to install the newest version of starburst (v1.5) and this theme, what are the best steps to take to do it?
figure this should cover alot of bases that maybe not just me might have

This may sound silly, but If I were to open up the GAPPS zip you put up here, could I go in and remove items I don't want and have it still flash properly?
It would be nice if someone put up a CWM that only included the Play Market and Talk and whatever else you can't get on the Play Market...just to keep it as simply and small as possible....also eagerly awaiting for someone to post an inverted GAPPS CWM for Jellybean**

You can do just that... just open the zip file, no need to extract it and search for system/app folder and delete what you do not want to flash.

You're welcome. The only apps in there are facelock, gmail and talk. What is taking space that is not needed are a couple of the video files, sound files and the boot screen. I have a slightly smaller version I use for myself that I can post later today for others who may want to use it.
Thank you...I'll give it a spin tonight...the Gapps are getting real big...I remember back during the Gingerbread days, they were like 10mb or less...now they're hovering at 100mb if not more.

[Q] Theme installation help

Hey guys I'm new here and just wondering if any of you could help me install this theme + lockscreen onto my HTC One x, beware I'm really new to all this and have NO idea at all, so please be nice :>

Wrong section, this belongs in Q&A.
Anyway, those themes are only meant for Ice Cold Jelly ROM. What you do is download them, place on SD card and flash via ClockworkMod recovery. Easy.

2. then on your phone have your rom and the gapps from that thread
3. flash ICJ and then flash the gapps and that is it.

Okay I think installing themes is a little too ahead. You must learn how to unlock bootloader (voids warranty), install custom ROM, flash kernels etc. first. Just a search will help you find your answer.
