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.

I am rooted but have not tried any custom roms yet. Do you have to have a custom rom to use a theme? For example this theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913576
Kinda... you more or less need to be on a de-odexed rom to easily apply custom themes, which means a rom other than the stock odexed rom.
Although, if you follow the instructions in THIS thread, you can do it on a stock odexed rom (usefull if you want to use MobileAP or such).
And there is a stock deodexed di18 rom out there somehwere.
But you pretty much need to flash something that is deodexed to have an easy time of it.

Is it possible to remove the HTC apps (including the sense U/I and launcher) from the stock 2.2 rom and install the AOSP apk's? I tried using custom roms, but the lack of a stable 4G is causing me to go back to the normal rom.
Thanks!
Well you can delete the sense.apk for the ui and get the aosp design, but you won't be able to installed the aosp apks. [As far as I know]. Regardless, if its not an "htc sense apk" the apk should install.
there are a few roms... sense roms... almost completely stripped of it. non aosp.
vaelpak has a rom with a lot or most sense removed

...and non sense

There is a flashable zip that would strip sense down to bare minimum. IIRC the dev was OmegaSun..

hi
I want to go back to stock version either froyo or GB
but can I install themes on it or only for cocked ones?
also should it match the same version (JVB-JVH-JVO...etc) or it work on everything

You cannot install themes on stock ROM's per se, however you can install them on deodexed stock ROMs. Look through the Android Development section for the thread which contains the deodexed stock ROMs and install the corresponding theme (JPY for JPY, JVH for JVH etc)
I want to try flashing a rom with an ICS theme. I'm rooted with CWM5 installed.
Thinking about flashing that ASOP looking ROM then the ICS theme to go with it.
Is there any reason I shouldn't do this? My phone doesn't seem to suffer LOS at all. Can I flash the ROM then flash a stock kernel?
Most of the roms available support most kernels. There are at least 3 custom "stock" kernels available that would be your best bet at avoiding Los. Bubbys stock w/cwm, rogue stock, chris41g's new stock kernel...all would be fine to flash in cwm after you've installed a rom, I would suggest calks rom, or starburst as they are both compatible with ICS theme and are updated regularly

Better yet, just wait on the real ICS port being worked on. I tried the themed launchers and they were ok, but there's nothing like the real thing baby.
HI, I have a rooted EL29 version Epic 4g Touch, I like the touchwiz stock rom but wanted ICS theme is there any way to get it without actually putting on a custom rom ?
The ROM has to be deodexed for the theme to work or else it would be bootloop of hell. Might as well flash a custom ROM to avoid problems.
