themes for 4.0.4 on 4.1.9999

i found 2 themes that I would love to put on my phone but they are for 4.0.4. Is there directions on how to port them as I did find a 4.1.9999 theme template but really have no idea wtf im doing with themes. Should I downgrade to 4.0.4 instead, or would I really be missing on key features. I mostly just call, txt, and web, maybe use google maps if im stuck somewhere. Is it as simple as wiping and writing the 4.0.4 over the 4.1.9999 and any clue where to find 4.0.4, found the one link in the development forum in offfical thread but its dead. Thanks for all help and opinions.
these two are pretty badass...

I think that if you want themes you have really only 2 options.
Learn how to make themes for yourself because it's really not that hard. Just time consuming.
Go to a stable build (like 4.0.4) and use the theme of your liking.
The main reason why there aren't a whole lot of themes out there for the experimental themes is because they are EXPERIEMENTAL. Experimental = possibly unstable. Adding themes to even a stable build can mess it up. Also, if you are using an experimental build and have problems while your using a theme it is likely that Cyanogen wouldn't easily offer you support because it's likely related to the theme. Besides until you either make a theme from scratch or port over your favorite theme you have no idea how much time it can take. And nothing is more aggravating than to successfully port over (or make) a theme just to find out that another ROM update has been released.

can i just go into recovery mode and put 4.0.4 over 4.1.9999 and should I do a wipe? or will I have to do more than that. Thanks

Yeah it's best to wipe. Normally you don't have to with Cyanogen's builds, but as 4.1.9999 is 1.6 AKA Donut and 4.04 is 1.5 AKA Cupcake then it's a very good idea.
After wiping just flash 4.04. You shouldn't need to wipe your ext partition.

know where i can find 4.0.4?

That's pretty much why I just use a rooted version of the stock rom.

Yeah, right now im using the stock rom with netarchy kernal

Im a huge fan of the Damage Control and Fresh ROMs. Im a bigger fan of the Fresh ROM and am currently running his 0.5.3 version. Anything that has been removed by the developer you can always re add to make it your own.

I'm using Damage Control right now, but it gets the boot as soon as CyanogenMod is released.

Hey guys, could you either describe or post links to threads describing some of the roms that you're bringing up?
I mainly rooted my phone to customize the hell out of it, but now I'm interested in things liek overclocking it, and using less battery without losing use of my camera and camcorder.

Ok ok so which would be the closest to the features that sense offers by the way on those roms can u use sense widgets

if you really really like sense and do not want to get rid of it you don't have to. the ROMs like Fresh and DC uninstall only parts of Sense...and they put those parts in a folder. if you to add something back like FriendStream or FMRadio for example, then you just double click it to reinstall it.
from your two posts, i'd say use Fresh 1.0.1 or stay with your clean rooted rom. it's ok either way...the nifty thing about getting full root w/ NAND is that you can create an 'image' of you EVO. then load up the DC ROM or the Beast ROM...if you don't like it, revert back to your image and away you go. figure about 5min to create or restore from an image.
install something like adw.launcher or launcherpro and then you can actually see what breaks when your not using sense. (it is very easy, simple and non destructive to flip flop which 'application launcher' you use)
Fresh - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726090
I think Fresh may be a bit more conservative in his work than the DC team. HTC Sense will still be available on both once you are rooted and booted. it won't be until you install/use an alternate launcher that Sense widgets have issue. if you continue to use Sense then you can reinstall those component very easily.
i would suggest that you spend more time reading the Development thread. the answers ARE all here...unfortunately, threads like this one add to the overall chaos on the site. but its ok...search tools are your friend.
TJDuckett - read up on DamageControl and Fresh. Toast and Netarchy have custom kernels available. CM6 will be out soon, you will probably want to read up on it as well. use the xda search or google ( add site:xda-developers.com to your queries). good luck and enjoy.

Oh wow that's alot of good info thanks alot, i try to do as much research as possible before i post anything... one last question n i think i'll be good to go. When i did the nandroid backup image (i have clockwork recovery) that image when loaded is a full restore of how i had it when the image was created

I have a question about the flash 10.1 that's included... is it ACTUAL full flash, or is it the one that I read about on here (in the NO FROYO NEEDED! thread), that's pretty much bunk?
If it's actual, full flash, then is it one that I can just add onto what I have now?
Because, I'm running rooted 1.47.651.1 with damned near the exact same, custom theme, and don't really see the difference between what I've got and what's listed on this rom.
... definitely not trying to put down anyone's efforts, and in fact I'm asking, because it's so similar to what I'm running that it may be what I go for if it has something enticing.

[Q] Boot animations and themes

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.

Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.
Thanks

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.

Problem installing Roms

After trying my hand at installing a mod (cyanogenmod 10.2) I need to go a different direction and get a more stable rom. So I wanted to give cyanogenmod 10.1 a go. Unfortunately it fails on install. After reading through some forums I saw that I needed to install it after I load up stock fl26. But fl26 also failed on install. I'm going to prep for install with another rom but is there something basic I'm missing here?

Hey bud, Your thread the other day got closed (for asking what the best ROMs are), but let me give you some more pressing advice:
Do a lot of reading before doing anything else. It sounds like you might have jumped into this a bit too quick if you're having this many problems. I don't mean that in a bad way, not at all. None of us knew anything when we started... There is a lot to learn in terms of messing with what's inside our devices. If you can't get a ROM to flash right, I strongly suggest you stop - just set the thing down and read, before you brick it and have no more phone.
Every ROM has a Post #1 (the "OP") that has exact flashing instructions, and links to applicable downloads. Make time for that reading - the FAQ threads, the General threads, and the thread for the ROM you want to flash. Because you're on an older device, I promise you that all of the kinks have been ironed out or bugs are well-known (and not going to be fixed) and this is all available from reading. Okay? Good luck.

Install a stock GB27 one click rom. That should reset your phone, and let you install whatever custom rom you want.

I know right... reading....... like when you read a thread about "Best" Roms and it doesn't say best anywhere in the post. :laugh:
Thanks for the help Bud! :good:

If you would like... I can link you to a mobile Odin guide I put together for another member.. it's the easiest way to flash roms on this device( in my humble opinion )...
FYI... I sense that you might be a little upset with some of the posts...Rest assured... nobody is flaming you in this forum... These guys have tons of experience and just don't want you to brick you're device...
Also... this should have been asked in the noob friendly Q & A thread ( it's stickied at the top of the page )...no biggy, We are just trying to keep the Q & A section clean... for all of us to use...
Let me know if you want the link... and Welcome to XDA.. Epic 4g Touch forum...

ROMs, ROMs, ROMs... Need help.

So, I decided to root my device. It worked. Now I'd like to have a ROM. I want like Pure Android looking one, but with a lot of customizing options. You can tell me some good ones! But first, few questions.
-Does installing ROM reset my phone?
-Can it break my phone?
This question doesn't really go with ROMs, but can I get iOS styled emojis to my device? How?
Ty for the help, I'm noobie with these things! <3

All the ROMS at the top of the development threads are very good. Some of the best for customization are Blisspop and AICP. Official CM builds and F4K's works are also very good. Read each thread for current bug reports.
You may well lose what's on your phone, use titanium backup to backup apps, and DO A NANDROID BACKUP from recovery in case something goes wrong.
Unless you don't follow the instructions of ROM thread or overclock you phone to silly levels you shouldn't break your phone.
Not sure about iPhone emoji but if you search XDA or Google you should find something.
Your last question almost made me ignore this post. You can't ask questions like that on here! Will get you in trouble with forum MODs.
