I really want to theme my phone, running CyanogenMod 6.1.2.
I'm having trouble finding the best themes... the ones I like most are the Flavored Ice themes ( http://jbthemes.com/jairomeo/flavored-ice ) but I'm worried they won't work with 6.1.2?
Thus, I have some questions:
Does anyone know from experience if the Flavored Ice themes will work with CyanogenMod 6.1.2?
Where can I find themes for 6.1.2?
Will themes that are just for "CM6" work with this version?
Any and all help is appreciated!
Themes for 6.0.0 or 6.1.0 will not work due to framework-res.apk changes in both versions, but the only difference between 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 were some kernel tweaks, so if a theme works on 6.1.1, it will work on 6.1.2.
As for the question about your particular theme... I have no idea. You can always try though, just take a Nandroid backup beforehand, and you'll be fine. If the theme doesn't work, just restore your Nandroid.

I have cyanogen's 6.1.2 rom on my evo. I flashed a theme from a .zip but decided I didnt like it... How can I go back to the default theme from cyanogen's mod? I've wiped and reflashed the rom but I'm still having left over elements from the theme. halps!
ok so i got my SGS few days ago and i installed this rom:
SGSIL_PLX_JPY_V3.0 FullHebrew
and when i try to download a theme from the forum my device stuck in the opening screen and do nothing until i restore him.
im tired of this how do i optimize the themes for my rom?
Many themes are not supported for all ROMs.... and I wonder what ROM that is you are using, never heard of it ....
Ask on the thread if it supports your ROM before you flash a new theme
Peace
get either doc's or darky's rom. most of the themes work with their roms.
i from israel and its more comfortable for me to use hebrew ROM cause its my language and all my contacts and all those things...its still a JPY ROM and im sure that there is a way to optimize themes for this specific ROM
I just rooted my phone, flashed superuser and backed it up. Now I installed a theme, but after it gets passed the 4G screen it makes me force close a lot of apps, did I install it wrong? PLEASE HELP!
You installed a non compatible theme most likely. Restore your backup
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
How do I know if it's a compatible theme?
Most themes say which rom its for. If you were on the stock rom you need to find a stock rom theme
We're comin from a pure power source.
Damn, sorry I'm a noob, how do I know what stock Rom I have
Well, if you just rooted then you probably have the basic odexed ROM. Most of the themes are for deodexed ROMs.
Please correct me if the theme is for odexed, but I am guessing that is the problem. If you didn't make a nandroid you may have to flash your first custom ROM

nandroid shows up in the boot menu, and i flash the theme. Is there any sites you guys can recommend for themes?
2.3 root
hboot 2.16
How do I find if the ROM type and if it's Odexed?
If you haven't specifically flashed the stock deodexed rom, it's odexed. You'll need to flash the stock deodexed rom to be able to theme. The themes will need to be made specifically for stock, Sense 2.1/3.0, CM7/AOSP and MIUI themes won't work.
If you want more themes, you'll be better off flashing a custom rom. I'm not sure about the availability of Sense themes, but CM7 and MIUI have theming built in. These are both AOSP roms, they're not Sense which is what you're used to. MIUI is my personal favorite, and definitely the most themable.
You can always make a nandroid backup and try out different roms/themes. If you don't like what you flash, just restore your backup or keep flashing until you find something you like.

Hi,
I'm running Black Ice - and the ROM itself is good, but I'm not a huge fan of the skin. The lockscreen is very dark and the symbols have changed, and also the statusbar has different icons which I'm not that keen on.
How can I restore the default cyanogenmod theme, is there a flashable zip that removes all of the custom skins?
Thanks
You should just switch back to cyanogen. Devs take a base and add a theme to it because they are targeting a specific look. If its not for you then switch to something else. If there are other themes available for a Rom they will be posted in op or someone in thread will post a working one. I don't think they are interested in going for the cyanogen look since cyanogen already has the vanilla look down.
I know the black ice devs don't want the vanilla look, and I'm ok with that. But you can skin roms in different ways, so surely one is the default cyanogenmod look?
The thread mentions copying systemui.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm not having any luck.
And blackice has some great tweaks, which is why I'm using it
Black ice is derived from cyanogen so you should be able to extract those two files from framework in cyanogen and push them to your phone and then reboot. What problems are you experiencing while trying this? You could try using the kitchen to swap the files.
Not sure if this has been answered before and I've tried a few searches, but to no avail (apologies if this has been asked already)
Can Sense 3.5 themes on any Sense 3.5 ROMS?
Or is it that themes are limited to specific ROMS
Currently I've got ICS Theme on RunnyDroid 2.1, I like the theme and the ROM, just wondering if I ever decided to try another ROM, would I be ok to flash the theme without bricking my phone :S
Thanks in advance
