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.

You could always flash a stock rooted custom ROM, such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429243 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Stock EL29 Kernel with CWM to flash the theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24014670&postcount=2
Is this what you're looking for, it's for builds EL13-EL29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528063

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.

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 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.

am on stock rooted FI03 with agats recovery and stock kernel ( also debloated it using TiBU and Calk's bare minimum script )
was wondering if there is a pure ICS theme for this available somewhere , just like we have on the nexus devices
If not then can anyone point me to pure ICS launcher ( no TW ofcoursse ) which has lenty of options to have custom icons.
regards
When you say "pure ICS" do you mean this?

Have you tried taking a look into Agats ROM? It is a stock rom with minor tweaks and ICS theme baked in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839909

Have you tried Apex launcher? Its like stock with a few extra options.
I wanted to know if I accept the stock jb update do I need to unroot? If I dont need to unroot can I flash a jb rom on top of the stock jb from sprint? Also if im not feeling jb too much would it be hard to go back to ics? I was on jb before with cm10 but it had alot of bugs. So I flashed an ics rom (strong steve odexed blue rom) to get back to 4.0. Since ill be on the stock jb would it be that easy to go back to ics from stock jb?
show me something worth my attention
Why not fash the JellyBean iteration of Odexed Blue, v1.2? It's an excellent JB ROM, and it's based on stock.
ROM - strongsteve's Odexed Blue LJ7 JB 1.2 Holy Grail
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Agat's custom TW JB v0.3.2

If you want stock, yes, you'll need to unroot, as the OTA requires stock recovery. Additionally, you'd be better off flashing a jellybean tw rom; as they're all based off official stock now. Just make a backup and flash.
