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

Can't seem to get themes to work

Phone keeps getting stuck at 4g screen have waited for as long as 15 min b4 pulling battery and restoring
First of all I'm running the newest public version on fresh. It is deodexed correct?
Have tried themes with different roms
I have tried putting themes on my phone using the recovery method and the Rom manager
Also have tried with both clockwork and ra recovery
Haven't tried again since I switched back to ra recovery. I will try after work
I may only have 2 posts but I have gotten this far by simply reading then trial and error. Tried searching for someone with same problem and cannot find anything please help.

what theme are you using. Something to watch out for is that some themes will say they are for CM6 currently themes for CM6 or ASOP roms do not work for sense and vice versus. some will have 2 versions of the theme and you want to make sure with fresh that you have the Sense version.
another thing since i dont know exactly what you are doing when you flash is make sure you do not wipe cache or dalvik when flashing a theme. I have always run into problems when doing so and when i dont have been just fine.
Lastly if you are flashing a rom before flashign a theme make sure you boot the rom fully at least once before flashing a theme. My normal procedure is to
factory wipe/cahce/dalvik.
flash kernel
boot into the rom
go back into recovery and flash the theme i want
flash any additional addons to the theme (some have these like manups and riptide)
flash to remove htc lock screen (i prefer vanilla)

Unable to Theme

So after yesterdays Clockwork debocle(and current for some, including me occasionally still) I tried multiple different ROM's.
I can restore through clockwork(doesn't say Nandroid though, says Backup and Restore) but I have to "Update" the PB13MG.zip through the bootloader everytime I reboot. Cyanogen loads fine but I can't add any themes to it, like IncRevo. After I do add I get into a bootloop
I really want to run Cyanogen with either ManUps original theme or IncRevo.
What should I do?

Flash the last version of clockwork recovery before the update.

I don't know what version that is unfortunately. Is there anything else?

Hey blue, no offense, but this is the wrong forum to post these types of questions. It's for development threads.
That said, It sounds like you flashed the latest version and it caused you issues. Try ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5.
You can download it here
EDIT: I suggest that one because that's what I'm running without issue.

My apologies. I hope a mod moves this thread appropriately then
Thanks for the help, trying it now.

No problem. Let me know if it resolves the problem.

Unfortunately no
I'm going to backup the internal card and sd card and re root the entire phone

[Q] Cyanogen 6.1.2 Theme Help

I will admit that I am a noob at this so... bear with the noobness
I have rooted my 3.30 EVO and have installed the Cyanogen 6.1.2 ROM. I backed up my nandroid and wiped using the partition option and the factory option as instructed in every tutorial. Cyanogen 6.1.2 works great in itself, the problem I'm running into is trying to install any CM themes...
I've tried installing the Project_BlissHD-v2.0_EVO_CM_6.1.2_signed theme .zip for CM 6.1.2 through the recovery (not even sure if this is the right way to do it), but every time I try, it tells me that the installation is aborted.
I wipe before each try and have even completely restored a backup and reinstalled with no success.
I have searched and searched for a thread that could help, as I didn't want to have to post a question if I could avoid it. So, how to I apply specific themes through CM? Here's what I've got:
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.2
Build 3.30.651
Used Unrevoked 3.3
And again, please forgive the noobness....

Clockwork 3.0.0.2 is only compatible with the new hboot. If you're on the old hboot, roll back to 2.5 and try it again.

I had the same problem .. I made a thread about it .. I'm about to try what BIG CHEEZE suggested

I use Amon_Ra ,myself. I would suggest using that one perhaps since it does a better job emptying the delvik cache.

Cheese, I'll try your suggestion about the rollback. I can just do that right in clockwork, correct? If that doesn't work, I'll try Jason's suggestion. Jason, which amon ra version?
And thanks to both of you!

Just use ROM Manager to roll back. You can flash Amon RA through ROM Manager as well.

You're welcome.
Use version 1.8 since I've been hearing some weird things about 1.9.

hummm
i get "An error occured while flashing your recovery" error when i tried to rollback to 2.5.1.4

I'm going to flash RA 1.8 right now.... let you know how she goes.

Ok, so here is how it went:
Flashed AmonRa 1.8 through Clockwork
Success
Booted into AmonRa recovery. Backed up a fresh nand, wiped DATA, CACHE and Delvik. Installed Cyanogen 6.1.2
Success
Cyanogen boots.
Success
Boot back into AmonRa. Repeat all the wipes. Proceed to install BlissHD pack for CM. Installs succesfully.
CM attempts to boot again, but just gets hung up on the splash screen, repeating a new splash every 3 seconds or so. Rebooted several times to see if that would help. No dice. Restored back up nand and am back to square one.
Suggestions?

It sounds like the theme you want is not gonna work with the stock cm6.1.2 kernel...my suggestion would be to try a different theme
I recommend barnacles10 ginger bread theme.

Also when you flash a theme...be patient on its first boot. Restarting during a boot that is loading files for your droid has had horrible results with my experience.
I was flashing a radio update and thought that boot loop was frozen..so I pulled the battery..restarted..and was stuck on the boot screen..then my battery dies while in the process of using hboot...and my usb cord wouldn't charge the battery..so I had to wait 7 days for a standalone battery charger to be shipped

That's kind of where I figured I was heading, jst. I'm going to play around with it tonight and I'll let you know tomorrow how it went. Might try completely different mods too... thinking about fresh.
Again, thanks a lot guys. BIG help.

The theme works great with cm 6.1.2. There are many people using it right now. I'm unsure of what could be happening here. Some phones are just picky. Mine for instance bootloops with any of myns roms as well as virus rom but I have no problems with other roms. I'm sorry my theme didn't work out for you.

Hey, it's no sweat! I've seen all the pics of your theme and I really wanted it. It's slick as all-hell, lol. And as for certain phones being picky, that's more than likely the case with my EVO. Since day one, my phone won't charge if turned off, and if I plug it in while it's off, I have to remove the battery to get it to turn on again.
Don't need to apologize to me... I should be thanking you for making something like this accessible to me!!!

You need the correct amonra recovery.

mikfroyo evo, with a side of aloysius 5 !

Alright, think I know whats up... I decided to humor a thought I had and install a fresh Cyanogen after a nand backup. I installed 6.1.2 and then installed the Gingerbread as recommended by jst. Only this time, I didn't wipe before I installed the theme. Worked like a charm. I'm going to try this with other themes too and see how it goes.

Kush explains why they don't work right here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897026

I got it to work fine by not wiping before theme install, just mod install. t3, your theme looks awesome on my EVO. Thanks!!!

[Q] Flashing themes to Revolution HD ROM

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!!
