Hi,
Seeing as though development and support for this ROM has now ceased, does anyone know if there would be room for Themes to be done on it in the absence of the Dev ?
Failing that, has anyone managed to get any themes from other ROM's to work on this ROM ? I'd love a gingerbread theme for the ROM, but am not good enough to try myself.
Griff.
Stoney has released a cool theme. I imagine more will be released.

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.
Does anyone know how to tell if a theme will work on a specific froyo rom. Specifically, most devs say if a theme works on an AOSP rom, but what about Froyo + sense roms? Does any 2.1 sense rom work on a Froyo-sense rom?
Most likely not, but it kind of depends on the extent to which they themed it. Best bet is, if you find a theme you REALLY want. Nandroid, flash the theme, see whats what. If it works, woo! If not, well, no harm no foul right?
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.
I know there has been a lot of demand (especially here on xda) for an official MIUI ROM for the Galaxy S, however it seems the MIUI-Team are not planning so for the time being.
I've been searching and just recently found a developer by the name of tp4bama (from miui-devs and droidforums).
He has kick started things and I wanted to do my part by bringing his work into spotlight.
You can find his work here:
http://www.miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?1139-Theme-Miui-Galaxy-S-All-Phones
And also here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/104418-theme-miui-galaxy-s.html
Description:
This is a port of Benny879's original miui galaxy for the old miui. It is based on Manup456's original Galaxy theme. I touched up the notification pulldown, a few title bars and added a custom themed mms and dialer.
Currently on v1.1
If there are any changes that you would like to see, let me know.

I have very limited development skills, but I will help with this project (I'm good at testing/evaluating). I really want MIUI (the best ROM in my humble opinion) to rock the Galaxy S (and the rest of the series).
If I have not posted this in the correct section, or in the correct manner, I apologize and welcome a moderator to customize it. I only have the best intentions.
If tp4bama are here on xda, you can delete this/make your own thread and I'd implore you to continue with your magnificent work, my regards
reserved for later, if need be
reserving another spot, just in case
前排占座！！！！！支持一个，哈哈
I thought that this is REAL MIUI rom, but this is only theme..... :+(((
Perhaps the OP would want to change it to [Theme] instead?
Btw, the MIUI team's official devices are the Nexus One and Nexus S, according to miui.com there's a high chance the i9000 will be the first after these two to get a MIUI rom on 2.3 after the cyanogen team's Gingerbread port is stable.
If this is just a theme, it's in the wrong forum.

really? can you post the link of the thread?
Nice theme.
Here's a thread with screens of the next version of miui: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890954&highlight=miui
I hope it comes to the sgs too.
It's by far the best rom i've ever seen.
It will come to the SGS, if supercurio manages to carry on with the Gingerbread port, as the Kernel he uses is the Nexus S one, so once it's released for the Nexus S we can use it as well. Time will tell Wrote a comment over at MIUI dev to the creator of this theme telling him to bring it here, it'll get more attention and people working on it.
Just to clarify some things, this is only a theme and not a rom. Hint on why in the title of my threads it says [Theme] Miui Galaxy S [All Phones]. If you could please reword the op to reflect that Im not porting miui to the galaxy s only creating a theme that makes miui look like the galaxy s. You can keep this thread as long as you link to my download links. Hope this clarifies some things.

Thanks, how else should I modify it?
Hope you continue with your work (perhaps we can get the theme running on a ROM like Darkky's).

Thanks for changing that. I probably wont be able to get this theme to work on a Darkky rom? because im using a D1. Also you would have better luck porting a different version of this theme because this theme is not set up like other themes. There are no xmls or anything in these themes. But if you ever get a miui rom on the galaxy you will be able to run this.

You can't install on Galaxy S. This theme is not meant for i9000.

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.
