I feel really silly for asking this but I'm trying to figure out how to install the blue icons in my pull-down notifications on the Diet ICS theme, I've got just about everything else "blue"d out but I don't see these zip files on the requested site. Am I supposed to flash an earlier version and then flash the current version over it? I just wanted to know if I'm just being dumb or if I'm actually missing something.

I used a blue theme from here and it did everything for me. It is for diet ICS but I used it over kyan to get the brightness slider and 15 toggle mod and worked fine. Should work even better over diet ICS. Just download the blue theme you want, place it at root of your sd card. go to CWM wipe cache, dalvik, flash! ( I would recommend making a nandroid if you don't already have a recent one just in case)

Yep, I think it was an issue with my previous flashing of some of the theme mods, I started fresh and flashed everything again and it worked like a charm! Much appreciated.

Sorry If this has been done before, I searched using multiple terms but didnt find something close to what im looking for
SO I flashed a theme that had custom Icons. I didn't like the theme so I flashed back the most recent build of cyan and wiped and still have some of the custom icons (gmail and market) but others are the cyan rom icons. Wiped again still nothing, im assuming it may have something to do with my apps2sd or formatting the partitions on my SD card but i'm not sure. I've flashed many a theme but never had this problem.

It is because those apps are not in Cyanogen's ROM. Flash the HTC recovery then Cyanogen and the icons will return to stock.
ahhhh, last time i themed it was before the whole Google cyanogen thing. Thanks a lot for your help
how would you go about flashing a new theme over a theme that i already flashed
Create a nandroid backup of course.
flash the rom you are using again without wiping data.
wipe dalvik.
reboot.
reboot back into recovery.
flash new theme.
should work fine
I always just flash the new theme over the old one.......haven't ran into any problems yet.

Hello,
I think the subject says it all. I currently have android 2.2 (can't even remember what ROM I flashed) after rooting using Autoroot 2.4. Now I'd like to update my ROM to cyanogen 7. How do I go about doing this?
It appears that if I go to power down and choose reset -> recovery that Android System Recovery loads w/ Build "RA-supersonic-v2.3 - HAUS MOD rev.A" -- I presume that this is the key to flashing cyanogen 7?
What I think I do is:
Put cyanogen 7 image (zip file) in root folder of SD card
Boot into recovery mode
Make backup (NANdroid)
Select Wipe, then Wipe data/factory reset
Select Flash zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Reboot
and I'm done???
But I would appreciate some more or less brick proof direction.
Thanks!
Personally, I would suggest Deck's or SalvageMod instead of CM7. Both are optimized and fly!
Well you would need whichever CM7 you want to flash (stable, nightly, etc). Also, you will need GAPPS. Probably want a custom kernel too, I suggest Tiamat 4.1.0 SBC.
Download and put on SD card. Boot into recovery.
Wipe cache and dalvik. Then nandroid, select everything you want. I typically keep on backup on my card.
Wipe everything except for SD card twice. Navigate to Flash Zips. Flash the ROM, then GAPPS, then mount data in "Mounts" then flash Tiamat kernel. Reboot. Let it sit, then reboot. Then do the setup

Thanks for the help. I installed cyanogenmod 7 and it seems to be working. I'm now restoring my backups. I don't really like the default skin and much preferred my old rom. I wonder if just changing the theme will help (I think I like the more factory setup... is that called sense?)
What is the advantage of installing tiamat kernel?
Thanks for the help!
The default skin is just a default. Take a look at my setup, picture in my signature). It doesn't look anything like the default setup for Cyanogen.

Tiamat kernel has different governors, has HAVS, and SBC. There is a sticky at the top of Q&A discussing kernels, it is really helpful.
Are you talking about the theme or launcher? You can always install another launcher from the Market. I have grown fond of Launcher 7. Themes, there are many options. Check Evo Themes and Apps section. You can also download themes to use in Theme Manager from the Market too.
OR, have you heard of UOT Kitchen? Google it, watch a tutorial. You can make your own flashable theme!
And yes, HTC's software is Sense. I suggest MikG, it has 4G and everything, much more functionality than stock software. It is Sense to

I'm trying to install the theme "HTC.Elegance-CM7-Theme v4.5.1"
To do so I've gone into the recovery menu
then I wipe cache and dalvik cache
then I load the HTC elegance theme zip file like I did to flash the cm7 mod and
reboot
however, it keeps booting into the default theme. What could I be doing wrong here?
Also, is there a graphical app that will allow quickly changing themes w/o multiple reboots?
Thanks!
CM7 seems quite slow. I may bail on this one and try something else. My last rom was sprintlovers and believe it or not I liked it a lot. Would MikG provide a similar experience or is something else similar recommended?
Thanks!

I guess you'd get a similar experience, its sense based, with all his extras. So if you lik sense, go ahead and try it.
Thanks again for all the tips. I ended up restoring my phone w/ NAND and then installing latest sprintlovers to get me up to 2.3. That's all I really need at this point, hopefully it does everything I need it to do.

Flashing the theme just loads it into your phone. Once you've flashed it you need to go into your app drawer and select the app called "Theme Chooser." When that opens you can scroll through the various themes loaded onto your phone. Select the one you just flash and hit "Apply." Bam! You're all themed up!
Now, I have been reading and watching videos (qbking77 made some great ones) trying to understand everything before trying to change my phone. Now from what I understand, you need to root your phone, install a kernel, install CWM (preferred method of installing items), install a ROM, and then you can install a theme.
Qbking77 posted a video on "How to root and clockworkmod the Samsung Epic Touch 4G" but in this video it has links for a combined zip that will also install the eg30plus kernel. I have read that this kernel can have a LOS, so people have recommended the LoStKernel. So I take it I need to do individual steps? First root the phone? Then install the LoStKernel? Then install CWM? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Next question is regarding ROMs. There are so many of them, I get confused. Which is good? Is it a matter of which fits best with how people enjoy their phone? If so, I like having as pure of an Android experience as possible (I think that is called AOSP?) with great battery life. I hate bloatware, and want to install the stuff I want on my phone rather than what Sprint puts on it. I also dislike the layout, email, MMS, etc. that Samsung has put on the phone. Suggestions?
Lastly, themes. There are a bunch out there. I have seen some great ones such as brkear1967 ICS one. Though I am unsure. On my HP Touchpad I am using the Honeycomb 3D - SB theme (Awesome Theme) using Theme Chooser since CM7 was ported to it, but I know CM has not done a CM7 for this phone yet, which will probably come after they start rolling out ICS. Anyway, any suggestions when it comes to Themes would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much for any and all information people may give. it's really appreciated.
I guess, I am supposed to do Odin with the eg30plus kernel, then I can Odin to the LoStKernel?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I was not rooted and all I did was odin the lostkernel and I gained root with cwm. From there you can flash whatever you want through cwm. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much!
I would follow that video you watched.It comes with CWM. Then install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304600
It comes with the Lostkernel and is AOSP kinda. Then you can theme to what ever you please.
I recommend to start with this theme:

That is exactly the theme I wanted to install, but when I went to go install the ROM I kept getting Force Closes of everything. I couldn't even see my screen, only the force closes of the status bar, MMS, etc.
So, I had to take the battery out, and boot into CWM to restore my backup of just the LoStkernel.
Steps I took:
1. Copied zip to my phone.
2. Booted into CWM.
3. Factory Reset / Wipe.
4. Clear Cache.
5. Clear Davik Cache.
6. Install.
After I restored, I applied the SB Rom then put on the Nothin But Honey Theme. A very nice Theme and Rom, but really wanted to try that Theme you had suggested. I think my problem was, since I did these steps for applying the Starburst Rom, that I did a Factory Reset / Wipe instead of:
1. Format System under Mounts and Storage.
2. Wipe Data.
3. Clear Cache.
4. Clear Davik Cache.
5. Install.
I am not sure though. I think I could always, boot into CWM and restore back to just the LoStKernel, then do the steps above for the AOSP Rom then the ICS Theme. But again, not entirely sure.
Thanks!
Also, another thing...since installing the above SB Rom and Nothin But Honey Theme, I went from 94% Battery down to 66% Battery in a matter of an hour. That does not seem normal to me.
Tried installing a mod thru metamorph to put a background for the softkeys. Instead it DELETED the status bar and the soft keys. Now all that shows on the screen is the normal homescreen extended all the way past where the softkeys would be. Please tell me there's a fix for this.
*EDIT* I've wiped and installed a new rom. Still no dice.
COME ON ANYBODY!!!!!???????
Had the same problem after installing another ROM.
Restoring my backup solved the problem for me.

Sorry to bump this thread up!
But now i've got the same problem..
I'm running Jellybean 4.2.1 stock but recently rooted using the Gnex Toolkit (which is the eadiest thing!).
I've downloaded Rom Toolbox Pro via the Play Store and was checking out the possibilities of the app.
I saw the option to change the dpi from 320 to 240 at first, wich always looked nice on screenshots and such.
Then i was looking at the Theme Manager where i can change the status bar from stock to transparent and installed it in app.
After rebooting, suddenly my Status bar and my softkeys are gone...
After using the device without the back and home buttons, i did some research on it and found out my device needs to be deodexed before wanting to do it safe?!
I got no backups made, as stupid as i am, and tried installing all sorts of themes for the status bar..
The most obvious option to me is to wipe dalvik cache since that was said all over the internet.
I could really use some help on this, since i dont want to backup my pictures and music because im scared that when i do a wipe, all my data is lost -.-
I might sound stupid, but if there isnt any other option, i might install a different rom.

Since you're using the stock, you might want to try install the system.IMG you've downloaded via fastboot, wipe cache and dalvik via CWM (Assuming you have CWM installed), the same thing happen to me while installing mods, flashing system.img on top fixed it for me. The other solution is to flash another ROM, you might want to backup your apps via TB in case of both fails
EDIT: This is assuming than you've flashed to stock 4.2.1 via fastboot/toolkit, the easiest method to fix this by far is installing a ROM .zip in CWM, but if you want to stay stock for some reason you may want to try following EF Rant's return to stock guide and flashing everything BUT the userdata.img, instead you would have to boot CWM and then wiping cache/dalvik, or if it still doesn't boot, factory reset. It won't touch your picture and music, but back it up regardless to be safe.
Nav bar + status bar is related to SystemUI.apk, most likely the mod did not install properly, reflash the ROM zip.
Thanks guys for the quick repy!
Isn't there any way to reinstall the systemui.apk? I've tried clicking on it so it installs the apk but didnt work.
@reysonance: im gonna try the Factory Reset option. ill post an update as soon as i did the reset.
The only reason for me to root the device was so i could use the USB OTG option so i can place music on my carradio's usb using a file manager.
I dont know if i have clockwork mod on it, ill check it out tonight.
Thanks again!
