Everytime I try to apply the theme with the Theme Manager it never applies the theme. I reboot and I'm still stuck with the same theme, anybody else?
Have you tried changing the file extension to .mtz instead of .zip?

Yea I changed it but all it did was disappear from the theme manager. Kind of a noob here btw lol
No problem dude. I haven't had this problem yet. Are you doing a complete wipe before flashing miui?

Yea I am, I'm thinking of re-flashing to see if that would help. But then again I don't know how important the themes are to me now.

I had the same problem until I flashed the MIUI-v0.6-(1.1.26). Theme Manager/Browser now work perfectly.

Just curious as to how to apply a theme like Detox to Fresh 1.0.1? And if I want to remove it? Thanks in advance!

I haven't done themes yet, but I think they come as .zips and you just download them to the root of your SD card, then flash them like ROMs and kernels in recovery. Or FreshUpdater can sometimes do it from the app itself, but it reboots anyway so you might as well go the manual route.
I think. Download a theme. If it's a .zip, then do that.
All the themes i've seen have either been a flashable zip, or a Metamorph theme ( they each said how to apply them ).
Make a nandroid backup before applying a theme, then if you don't like it, you can just roll back to before you applied it.

the above post is correct. Most themes will come as a zip you flash them lieka rom. I suggest you nandroid before flashing (as always) the only way to get rid of a theme is to either flash the rom again, nandroid to a previous point before yuo applied the theme or flash a new theme over it (which may only change part of the theme)

Exactly like Silver said, i just want to add, if you want ro revert the easiest way is reflashing the rom(no need to wipe)
Thanks for all the awesome help! I got it all flashed and now it looks awesome!

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its alright, i really just want a rom that has close to outstanding battery life, then i want to be able to change to my favorite boot animation and a nice lockscreen and has tethering that works mine isn't working.

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****
Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.

will try thanks
said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav
MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

That's your keyboard, not the messaging app... if I understand your complaint. There are a few free keyboards on the market, or you can try the HTC IME Mod - it's here on xda.

First off, i know this is a repost but can't seem to locate where i originally found the thread/post. So to make it quick if someone has the link, feel free and post it. On the other hand, I tried to rename the bootanimation.zip located in system/customize/resource to replace it with another boot animation that i found in themes sub forums. When i booted up it was blank and pretty much skipped the boot animation. Is there any other way to change it besides that? Don't get me wrong, i just spent 20 minutes using the damn search engine which got me nowhere. Maybe I'm an idiot but whatever. Thanks alot
I'd say download again and install.
or
Rt click on the zip and make sure it's not renamed to bootanimation.zip.zip
either way you should
clear cache
What rom are you using?

Try pulling the mms.apk from the original ROM, push it to system/app over the old one, set permissions and reboot.
Good luck!

Did you happen to read the app description... Most themes troubleshoot this if you read.

I'll just spoon feed you the anwser. Here comes the airllplane!!!
Not really, just apply the stock System theme, reboot, then apply the theme you want.
Yeah, I read it.. It says "If you get the message, reboot the device and try again" and it didnt worked hehe
well, i must say i havent tried to apply the stock theme before changing...and just tried and didnt worked :/

will try that... hope it works.. but i have a bad feeling since when i tried to install that theme, it was at 1st boot after a rom installation (which i did a cache wipe)..
EDIT: cleared the caches.. same issue
AW: Theme chooser issue
Applys stock theme, reboot, apply third party theme. Done.
And use the damn search and dont ignore it when given the solution to your problem.
