How To Flash A Theme?

Hey all.
Been drooling over some of the nice themes some of you folks are coming out with!
Noobie Question:
Do I just install/flash the theme same way a ROM is flashed?
I know how to flash a rom, but dont know how to flash a theme.
Thanks.
(Currently running DC 3.2.3)

Anyone?

If you're running DC and there is a theme you like in their DC Updater, you can download it via the updater and it will let you flash it through there. Or just download a theme, put it on root of sd, reboot in recovery and flash theme through there.

if you have clockwork installed you cant use DCUpdater, though you can use rom manager and 'install rom from sd card' and select your theme

[Q] Flashing themes to Revolution HD ROM

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!!

[Q] Flashing themes issue

Hello all,
So I'm having a problem flashing a them. I do the backup and the wipes and install it from the sd card fine. Reboot it and all but when the phone comes back on, it stays on the splash screen of the theme. I've let it run for at least an hour, pulled the battery and turned it on again and the same thing. I've tried 2-3 different themes to flash, and just the splash screen comes up and continues to play and that's it. I've tried flashing them again and the same thing. Can someone help me out? Thank you!

What theme are you trying to flash?
-Is it for the rom you're on
-If on CWM 3.0+, is it edify compatible?
-Is the file meant to be flashed from recovery?

I'm trying to flash rEVOlution and the matted blues theme. I'm running on cwm 2.6.0.1. I'm not sure if its edify or wether the themes are compatible with the rom I'm running... how do I check that?
Sorry for the noob questions, I'm still rather new with the whole flashing themes and all.

I would try updating Clockwork and flashing. If that doesn't work, I would try redownloading the theme, maybe you got a corrupt download. Make sure you are flashing a theme meant for that exact ROM (eg. sometimes X theme might only work with version 2, for example, and you're running version 3)

I used rom manager to update cwm and it updated. how do I update flashing? after the cwm update, which now i'm running 3.0.0.5, i tried to flash the theme and it said installation aborted, something about update scripts?
once again, thank you guys for your help! I'm not sure what else to do? sorry for the noob questions, once again.

What theme on what ROM? Are they compatible? If so then I don't know but if you posted your Q in the thread where you got the theme or in the thread for your ROM you'd probably get better answers. Just an idea.

Aroma Installer Freezes problem

As the title says I (like some other users) have been experiencing a lot of issues while trying to install any ROM that uses any version of AROMA installer on my N7100.
I googled the issue and i did look here for a solution but unfortunately without any luck... if this problem has been solved in some other threads i didn't find, I'm sorry for my incompetence and you can delete this thread.
If anyone still have this issue could be happy to know I solved it by flashing TWRP recovery 2.3.2.3, I've been putting my trust in clockworkmod recovery since i switched to android powered devices but for now this is the only solution i found to the problem.
thank you for your time and patience, hope I'v been useful to someody.

AROMA works great with CWM 6.0.15 and freeze with CWM above 6.0.15

If you got freeze in Aroma you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache,full wipe then format system and you got no freeze in aroma.
Sory for my english.

you can use mobile odin to flash any zip or tar you wish to flash on device
you can also flash the zip from any recovery menu

Android purists can think what they like, but the easiest way would be to use GNote 2 Toolkit by MSkip. Makes installation of TWRP/ CWM a breeze

twrp aroma
i have twrp, but ive heard you cant flash a aroma installer on twrp only on cwm is this true?

I had the same issue until reverting to 6.0.1.5. Since then I'm using PhilZ modified CWM and it works perfectly.

Thank you for the work.
Personnally i had to install using Team Win Recovery.
Recovery ClockWorkMod 6.0.1.9 made Aroma Installer Freeze...

i have the same problem, i wanted to reflash dr ketan's rom, im using CWM 6.0.4.7 and Phliz Touch 6.19.2, i've found out i have no backup, and aroma freezes during random moments of installation.. that was the first time i flashed something by myself, went great, for some reason i tried to change kernel, and now i can't use my phone.. i would appreciate your help guys so much,
//
edit: i've flashed twrp, and installation went flawlessly, i think i accidently deleted some CWM backup files, with aroma files being in folder.

This worked for me after days of trying
I found and Older version of Philz touch Recovery ( Version 5 ) and flashed it with Odin. My galaxy note 2 N7100 was earlier on Philz 6. now it says Philz touch recover 5. Flashed the Pheonix V17 form SD card without any hang ups this time and now works like a charm. It did not freeze even once. Donno this works on all occations.

nevermind - fixed it by installing a newest version of clockwork mod and redoing the install.

Please remember with the newest TMo 4.1.2 base there is a preload partition that is wiped when you wipe cache/dalvik. You WILL bootloop without preload. Jamison has modified the old TDJ wipe scripts to add preload back in and I recommend using those instead of wiping from recovery. They can be found in his Infamous 4.1.2 ROM thread in development.

Can't enter recovery after restore, following bootloop
Hi Everyone,
I was running CM 10.1.2 and wanted to flash Jedi Mind Trick v6. Followed instructions to flash Darkside Super Wipe, then ROM, then Darkside cache wipe. Phone began to bootloop after showing the Deviant Developer boot image. I tried to do a full wipe with CWM recovery but it kept freezing on the cache wipe. When that failed I successfully restored a backup (AOKP JB-mr1_build-6) but was still experiencing a freeze with CWM anytime I tried to wipe. I thought that it might help to install TWRP so I installed goomanager and successfully installed the recovery from there but now I can't get into recovery at all (neither from CWM nor from TWRP). The AOKP is still working as well as it ever did but I'd like to reboot into recovery somehow and maybe even finish flashing Jedi Mind Trick v6. Does anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong here? I'm a relative noob and this is my first post so your patience is much appreciated. Thank you very much for any insight you might provide!

1) You used Darkside wipe with a version of CWM other than 5.xx.
2) You used Goo Manager.
Those are your problems. You need to Odin a recovery to fix it.
You can find a TWRP tar file here:
