[Q] installing themes - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

My former 4.2.2 rom allowed the display of chopperthedog's mashup theme's larger pngs for status bar icons. I am now using an AOKP rom, and would like to use them again. I don't know if it is possible to hijack them from 1 rom into another, or where to find a version of his theme, nor how to install it. I have always used stock or no themes. I found his theme in a zip and flashed it, but my gnex wouldn't boot with it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Help a noob.

Ooops, just saw your pm on rootz. Those theme zips were from the ics days which is why you went into a bootloop. I really haven't done anything with themeing in about 6 months (I'm still on 4.1.2). Back in october I putzed around with making some theme engine apk's for myself. I think the theme you're thinking of is the old geezer mash up that I helped zaphodbeeble with. I did pass along an apk for the geezer mashup that zaphodbeeble did post on rootz. But I left it off at 4.1.2 and it does work on 4.2.2 but the toggles and a couple other newer 4.2.2 elements are not themed.
*edit* ahhhhhh you must have been running sourcery (I had heard some of my icons ended up in that rom). I'll pm you a link to the mashup apk.
good day.

RC UK Mods update 01-14-09
Maybe because its not asked about much,but ill try to post my themes in a RC8 version but no one ever tells me if they work.
I posted a RC8 version of Blue Star 5 but no one has commented on if it works or not so let me know.
tbh, i've found from experience that most RC30 themes work fine on RC8.
although most of the time they require a wipe and theres a much greater chance it can duck your phone up.
as long as you have a backup handy you should be fine.
edit: alternativly, just flash the RC30 firmware. i've not found any major differences between RC8 and RC30. and yes im in the UK

stoch sense theme

well it looks like i installed a theme that is not compatible with my rom, and my phone did not turn on to the OS again, so i downloaded a theme that is compatible with my rom, install it on DHD, and my phone comes to live again, that's the good thing.
the question is, do i need to uninstall the old incompatibe theme, or simply it was removed by being replaced with the new one?
is there a ay to go back to my stock sense theme, sine i dont like the new theme?
thank you all for the help
well, i'm running now the revolution DHD theme, but want to change it, back to stock or something decent with no lots of extra colors and change, i searched the forum and found the sticky themes thread, a theme named "MattedBlues-v1.6-Sense3.70-Jan20" download it, install it, but after that nothing did changed in the theme appearance, revolution DHD still there and no matted blues look, it didnt take effect, any solution, did i make anything wrong? any way to revert to stock theme?
any suggestion or help plz?

first i would like to thank Mike Channon for moving the thread to the Q&A section.
to update my problem, i 'm still on the DHD revolution theme, i realized that my camera, gps and wifi are not working, the camera make a FC always, videos are not playing.
i dont like the notification status, phone dialier and all icons.

-notification staus icons
-phone dialer canvas
-stock gray menus
-same connectivity drop down menu
...
i spent all the day searching with no luck, please any help in this issue is much appreciated.

[Q] Jelly Bean Status bar on Viper X

Hi, i am looking for at way to replace the standard HTC status bar with an AOSP one, is this possible, if so how?
I'm running Viper X 3.7.0 on my One X, I also tried some apps on the market, but i couldn't really get them to work.
Go into the venom hub and download the aosp statusbar mod. Install it and go to the venom tweaks and set the icons in the statusbar tab
Will this mod the whole notification area or just the icons? I'm trying to get as close to the AOSP look as possible without moving to an AOSP rom, so if you know any mods or themes that will bring me closer to that, it will be much appreciated
You can keep an eye on this one, its not up to date atm but the question about an update is asked already ....
Link doesn't stick ....hold on
Find it in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747433
Its an aosp mod
I think you forgot some of the link, but thanks anyway! Really nice of you helping me out here
Post updated
Yeah i see But it links to the Viper X theme thread, and i don't see the mod, am i missing something?
you tried installing viperx with sense removal option ?
Yes, it only removes the sense launcher unfortunately. I think it is a matter of editing the framwork. But then again, i don't know much about this.
Check in that thread in the OP for the geenyous aosp thread. I think its going to be updated to the latest viper (hope so) its one of the best out there once its updated
Looks good, will try it when it gets updated! Thanks again, it's much appreciated

You should look to get a different base since this is not so common. Also is this the xperia look you are trying to get? There are a few roms in the rom section that has a fully themed xperia look. Check it out.

There are none that i know of. The only thing is to individually look for some of the settings. Like there is 1 for lockscreen and the apps but that's all i know of and i have been on here for a while. While i am a fan of the xperia themes they are not all the great in terms of performance with the phone. The stock or AOSP stuff are usually the best you will get. Some of the xperia mods have been known to cause FC closure on some apps.
The latest firmware also is still not supported properly for mods. As you can see in the rom dev section they are all using older bases. The new rom only came out a few days now soo development for it won't be here yet. I suggest you try back the Chaos HD but ask for detailed instuructions for it.
I am using ultimarom by the way. Very awesome and you should give it a try.

Slick rom 2.2 g3 launcher problem

Trust me I wouldn't have made this thread if I hadn't tried for like hours here.
Something is wrong with either my methods or the rom guys.
Using slick rom which is ultrabloated.
There are simple add-ons for camera and all other stuff if one needs(g3 stock based rom)
I am not able to use g3 launcher on rom and dt2s is must for me (not notification bar but whole home screen).
I tried flashing the zip by ultralite rom guy and many other ways(simple to tough ones) but can't seem to make that launcher work on rom which is driving me crazy. I think dev has deleted a lil more than what he should have(I am no one to judge)
If someone can help me here, thank you.
Am being all paranoid about it(and am sick :|)
24 views and still no answers.(I wished someone had)
No issues. Changed the rom.
I will be deleting thread now(if I can't) moderator pls do.
