I've ported one of my themes from the HTC amaze section to my T-Mobile SG2 now I've made a update.zip with the necessary scripts and flashed it and it completed then I rebooted and nothing changed . Prier to flashing I went back to regular Rom then flashed theme. Any one knows why the theme did not show ?

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
hey guys
i've done a search on here and Google, but can't find an answer, i've also tried twice, with 2 different .zip files, but i can't get the Gingerbread Keyboard to work on my Desire.
i am on 2.2 (LeeDrOiD V2.2f), everytime i flash it via recovery (Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7) my Desire will just stay on that pink circle, then reboot, then go back to the pink circle, the only way i can get past this, is to flash a rom.
any help would be great

The "going back to the pink circle''-part means your phone has ran into some kind of error and is rebooting (this is called a bootloop). This will happen until the error part is fixed (restoring a nandroid or flashing a new rom).
Are you sure your ROM is deodexed?
And are you sure the zip you're trying to flash is compatible with the Desire?
I'm not 100% sure if its deodexed, but I have flashed a .zip circle battery, and that's worked perfectly everytime, I did find a "how to get gingerbread keyboard on HTC Desire" thread somewhere on Google

I've been searching and trying different suggestions, but nothing has worked.
I have CM 6.1.1 installed on my phone and I have installed a theme. I am trying to find a process that works to install another theme and to update certain parts of a theme (battery icon, wifi..etc). I've tried wiping cache & delvik, using ninjamorph, metamorph, update.zip. The closest I've gotten was updating battery icon using metamorph - it changed the images and would load, but then everything would foreclose.
As of now it seems that the only way to do this would be to reflash the rom and then put in a new theme.
Thanks for your help
When you flash a theme it replace system images. So say you try 2 themes, theme 1 does have new images for battery icon... theme 2 does not. If you flash theme 2 over theme 1 you will still have theme 1's battery icon. The way I do it is to re flash the rom between themes. As long as you are using the same rom no need to wipe and re set up your screens, just flash rom and flash new theme. As far as doing "mashups" of different themes I suggest doing a lot of reading the answers are out there. Try the general android themeing sub forum for all devices.
and then there was root....
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!!
I have SkyDragon put on as a custom rom, I rooted my phone and my wife didn't know and did the OTA update... After that the only thing that would boot was TWRP, So i put SkyDragon, Is there a stock rom i could use? Should i just keep useing SkyDragon? I was thinking of getting cyanogenmod rom, But it hasn't released yet. I want something that has great customization, I use G3's Tweak box and Xposed. I like changing the icons i like putting whole themes on also. But Skydragon doesn't have a theme chooser under settings so if i do keep it what could i do about useing themes? If You say Cyanogenmod is better i'll try it out, Problem tho... I try to boot recovery and all i get is the phone i safe mode? I tryed pushing a boot.img image and everything and nothing has worked its like SkyDragon is a stuck rom? I have tryed flashify and also useing CMD to push adb in recovery and still nothing. Thank's i hope i can get all my questions figured out
