Same thing happens to me.
I don't wipe before the theme update and it still gets stuck at the green screen.
it might depend on the theme u are trying to use. post in the theme thread for support from the theme creator. if you are using a theme from the g1 thread, make sure it is for 4.0.2, and not for a previous build. and make sure the theme is meant for cyan's rom and not for another
I thought you couldnt one click root the cyanogen 4.0.2?
I did a one-touch root too and loaded cyan's 4.0.2 and have no problems applying the themes.. i download them from the browser and move them from the sdcard 'download' folder to the main folder and rename it to update.zip (using ASTRO).. and when i boot it to the recovery screen i select the update.zip file and reboot.. reboot takes about 5 mins after applying a theme but i'm good to go

This method works for me, too...I installed the Community Hero Mix theme for CM 4.0.4 with it, and it hung at the Green screen for a few mins before booting up fine.
The trick is to make sure the theme is for the right branch and build of your ROM...that confused the heck out of me for awhile before I figured that out! It might work if its for a different build of CM, but I haven't tried so I'm not sure.
can someone please point me in the right direction on how to install themes? if you install a rom, you have to install a theme on top of it? this is the only thing i'm really not understanding. appreciate the help

Don't 'have' to, but you can... main thing, make sure the theme you are about to flash is compatable with your rom version... good thing is I haven't seen too many (or any for that matter) bricking from a theme flash gone wrong...
1 because you can't brick your phone with adding a theme thats why you haven't and wont. If all fails just root it the "long way" here
Hi,
I rooted my DHD and flashed Revolution HD (2.1) ROM yesterday for the first time!! This site helped massively so thanks to all the devs and posters for the information!! I do have a couple of questions though, please excuse me if these are a bit obvious but until yesterday i had no idea how to even root it!
So i flashed the ROM and rooted fine, then i flashed a custom theme as well from clockwork mod recovery (installed from zip on sdcard). If i want to change the theme to a different custom one do i have to flash it from CWM recovery or can i do it directly from the CWM app??
Also if i now flash a different custom theme will all my user data (apps, settings, media etc.) be preserved?
Basically i like to change my theme quite often but if im going to loose my data everytime then ill have to pick more carefully!
Thanks in advance for your help and thanks again to all the devs and posters for making my DHD even better!!

Welcome on board ARHD user
You flash theme from CWM. Changing themes means giving new look to your phone, so unfortunately you ll have to personalize everything once again. Flashing themes would not remove your data but only your personalized home screen. You can however try mybackup and see if that helps you restore your settings.
Thanks for the reply!! Just flashed a new theme (revolution) and loving it.
One more question though, im trying to flash a different boot screen and animated framework to the theme but its not working
Im putting the zip on my sd card and flashing via CWM as i did with the theme but its not applying for some reason, is there something im missing?? Both the bootscreen and framework are made for the theme by the way!
Thanks

have you replaced the bootanimation.zip file? i do not know if you need to flash the bootanimation. I have flashed splashscreen but not the bootanimation so i do not exactly know. But i m sure if you replace bootanimation.zip file in /system folder it would work.
Thanks again for the reply. For some reason i went back to recovery 2.5.1.3 to flash something else and just tried the boot animation just in case it made a difference and its all working fine now!!
Cheers
Im having the same problem, Im running DHD Revolution Gingerbread beta 3.1 and the boot animations never work. Even if I do replace the bootanimation.zip file. Changed permissions to the zip file too.
Seems there is a difference in opinion on which bootanimation file to replace. I replaced the one in system/customize/resource.
Any ideas?
Gingerbread works completely differently i think. There is script that also needs to be modified to change the boot animation, i dont know what or where im afraid!
I was on gingerbread for a few days (i think it was mike's second beta) and didnt like it much, so im back on froyo leedroid for now. Might change when there is a few more themes about, bugs are all sorted and custom kernels are available!!

All you have to do is place on sd go into recovery wipe dalvik cache then flash the zip file. If you want to change the image in it just unzip the file replace PNG with your own make sure its about the same in pixel size the rezip and flash. Boom that easy. But remember the bigger the pixel size the bigger the lock will be. I prefer 80x80 for me but some prefer. 122x122. Make sure you back up your rom in recovery before you flash anything just in case something goes wrong you can boot into recovery and restore back up.
Also make sure if you have a sense rom that its a sense lockscreen zip. If its a no sense then there is a no sense lockscreen zip in the inspire theme thread and inspiremod55 don't mind making it for you just hit the thx button. There's a sense one here at dhd in theme thread.

Hey I just installed CoolDroid Revolution v 9.0 and when the installation finishes it just gets stuck on the HTC screen , I installed it again, and this time it gave me an error at the HTC screen, something about android stopped working.
I had a backup so its alright , but this seems to be the best rom for HTC desire , and i really want to get it working.
And If i use an older version of Android like GB , will it have some drawbacks like not being able to install the latest gapps and/or having limited widgets?
Thanks , :fingers-crossed:
BTW if you think there is a better or more stable ROM out there, that is the "best" in your opinion then please tell me
I tried to download and install Runny ROM and there was no download link , so i looked around and managed to find it ,
I installed it and it gave me a similar error, or similar errors, right out of the boot screen it gave me alot of errors, and i had to restore a backup.
I have tried CM10.1 CM7, Supernova, MIUI (camera dosent work, cant find a fix) ,Evervolve , jellynow , oxygen and alot of other ones.
They all worked fine, I liked MIUI but the camera problem threw that idea out of the window,
Runny ROM looks like a really good ROM , no other rom looks this good, but alas I need a fix...
That's still work in progress ROM. But it boots though.
Install a stable and fully functional GB ROM. Check out the Desire index there are lots of them.

And even so, there are too many , and I need advice on which one is the best...

I installed it in this way:
1. Wipe everything except as card.
2. Flash superwipe twice (it will automatically reboot recovery).
3. Flash the Rom (Select custom in and then stock a2sd).
4. before any rebooting flash m2sd and select 1st and 3rd option when asked what would u like to move to sd-ext. Do not touch any other option.
5. Now reboot.
6.use root explorer and mount system to r/w and go to system/app or sd-ext/apps_s and delete and replace the HTC_IME.apk with the one in this link then set the same permissions as the other apps and reboot.
cm7r2 hboot is recommended.

-m2sd is a script that you should copy it to your sd card prior to installing the rom, it a zip file and you can find it in first page of cooldroid revolution v9 treat.after you install the rom you may install m2sd and choose the options which i already mentioned.
-Root explorer is an application(from market) by which you can have access to root and system files and able to replace HTC_ime.apk file.( you may do this after installation is over and after the first booting.
at the end you need a fast SD card too.
I love this rom it could the the max of desire. but I installed CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5 it is smooth and run all the options that you want except Sense 4.
good luck.

you may use camera illusion from store but you wont get high quality. stick to the same rom until some body fix sense 4 for desire. or you can use theme sense 4+ sense 4 clock+ weather on this rom as I do.

I ment to use another camera instead of stock camera on CM10.1 JB not on sense 4. other than camera this rom has no issue. you can design it like sense 4 too:
1- download and install theme sense 4.
2- download and install sense 4 clock and weather widget .
3- change transition animation to cube out.
it will be like sens 4.
I have installed stock 4.2.2 & is it just me or have people noticed music & various other widgets have vanished?
Is there a place I can install manually?
Thx

If that helps in any way, there is nothing missing here :/ I installed the stock 4.2.2 this morning and I have all the widgets...
Maybe it's a problem with the .zip stock ROM?? Maybe they will work just fine if you re-install the stock ROM.
If you want to push them manually, extract the .zip stock ROM on your PC, go to system/app and find all the widget apk files and push them to the system through a root file explorer
Hope I helped
