My current WM6 ROM won't install themes either.
Don't know if they did something to make them incompatible but I get the same problem you have.

\WINDOWS\ folder is where they should be placed...

I've seen what you're talking about. If you're running Windows Vista and trying to copy files to your device, it won't let you browse to the \WINDOWS\ folder to do anything.
Try using File Explorer and copy the file from wherever you have placed it and paste the copy in the \WINDOWS\ folder. It may also work in your My Documents folder, but I'm not 100% on that. The \WINDOWS\ folder should work though so that it shows up as an option in your "Today" options.
I use one that's got a Windows Vista Ultimate feel to it and like it a lot.... it's called BLGLOSS.TSK and I hope that my file attachment worked! I'm still quite the n00b at this stuff but have been madly cooking roms with Pandora, etc.... good stuff.

So basically what your saying is the automated install when you run a .tsk from any location no longer happens and you have to manually put it in a system folder for it to show up in the theme's list?
EDIT:
Yup apparently that is the issue! Theme's don't copy themselves when you run them from a memory card or wherever anymore.

If you don't fancy your themes clogging up your /WINDOWS/ folder (and who does?), they work just as well when dropped in the root of your /STORAGE CARD/. Note, if you put them in a folder in the storage card they won't get picked up under the Today setting, you must just drop them in the root.
With my themes in my Storage card's root, and my ringtones in my Storage Card's My Documents folder, the only file I have to copy to Windows now after a reset is the one I use for my alarm!
Personally, my favourite theme wesbite is here: http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/category.aspx?CategoryID=9&ttype=11 but make sure you've got "WM5 QVGA" selected in the drop down at the top or you'll end up with ones that don't work on landscape.

so wait were u able to make ur phone install the theme u wanted after you moved it manually to the windows folder or the root of ur storage ?

ok, i got the themes to show up under Setting->Today, but the theme doesnt look like how its suppose to....the theme that i posted on the original post shows a very big time on the today screen, when i set it on mine, the time doesnt even show up....only things like the background change....any ideas?

Fastindy, I think you may have got themes on PPCs mixed up with those on Smartphones. When you change a theme on a Smartphone, it affects the picture on the Today screen, as well as what info is shown on it and where. This means a Smartphone theme will have clocks, SMS counters, etc built into it.
A PPC theme, on the other hand, affects only the background picture, top and bottom bar colour scheme, and the Start drop down background picture. What info is actually displayed on the screen is determined by Today plug-ins - these are the things that show the clocks, SMS counters, calendar appointments, and so on.
On the Schaps ROM you linked to in the first post, the clock showing on the today screens is the HTC Home plug-in. It's available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327646 but I don't know if this is the newest/best version as personally I don't use (takes up too much of my screen for my liking).
Hope that helps.

if you go into folder options and tell it to show hidden files folders and drives, and untick hide protected operating system files then you will be able to see the windows folder from your computer.

ICS - Modifying a Stock Theme

I recently received my Galaxy Nexus - and love it!
My idea was to keep it as stock as possible, but I wanted to change the look and feel to be more minimal, without having to install a non-stock launcher or use a different ROM. (The inspiration for this came from Nitroz's 'Black Exodus' theme.)
Phone : Galaxy Nexus, Rooted, now with a slightly modified stock ICS 4.0.2
There were a number of posts all around the Internet that led me in the right direction. To the cast of thousands who shared their information - Thank You!! The instructions below are just a compilation of the work already out there, but hopefully as they are in one place they will speed things up if you want to do this.
I am assuming that any future OTA updates will reset this.
Instructions for a Newbie (like me)
Requires :
One Rooted Galaxy Nexus
Way of getting files on and off the phone - I am using ES File Explorer
7-Zip on a PC
The new icons
The icons are located in the APK files located in the \system\apps folder.
To change the SMS icon
On the phone
Backup the original \system\apps\mms.apk file
Copy the \system\apps\mms.apk to a PC with 7-ZIP installed​
On the PC
Open with 7-Zip (DO NOT EXTRACT)
Change to the res\mipmap-xhdpi folder
Drag and drop the new PNG file (ic_launcher_smsmms.png) over top the old one.​
Copy the APK file back to \system\apps on the phone
The phone does not require a reset, but you will need to add the icons back.
To change the Contacts and Phone icons
These are located in the \system\apps\contacts.apk.
Folder - res\mipmap-xhdpi
Files - ic_launcher_phone.png, and ic_launcher_contacts.png​
To change the Browser icon
These are located in the \system\apps\BrowserGoogle.apk.
Folder - res\mipmap-xhdpi
File - ic_launcher_browser.png​
To change the App Drawer icon
These are located in the \system\apps\launcher2.apk.
Folder - \res\drawable-xhdpi\
File - ic_allapps.png​
Removing the line above the App Doc
The file from the phone to edit is \system\apps\launcher2.apk.
On the PC create a blank file called hotseat_track_holo.9.png.
Overwrite the file in the /res/drawable-xhdpi directory of laucher2.apk

Just a thought, but Nova Launcher looks exactly like the stock launcher, but you can change the icons to whatevery .png you want directly from the homescreen. They will remain even after updates to the app. It's entirely up to you, but i thought that might save you a ton of work

And save myself 2 days of pain and frustration?? ;-) It was a good learning exersize, although when the config gets nuked by an update, and I don't have the time to play, I will look at using a different launcher. Thanks for highlighting Nova as an option.

UCCW Import Help

So i wanted to finally try uccw after hearing so much about it. I dont know how to use the app to make my own themes it looks so complicated. But I found a couple that I like on the web. I downloaded the file and need help importing it. I unzipped the downloaded file and inside it has 4 files: one is a true type font file, second is a uccw file, and the last two are png images. My question is where do these go?
So far after reading around the web I know to put .uzip files in the uccw folder on my sd card.
I put the uccw file into the uccw folder but dont know where to put the font , and png files. i tried placing them all in that folder but when i go to import from the app it doesnt show anything..
Could someone please explain where to put these files and correctly import them? This is all new territory to me,

Bump. Anyone?

I found out that uccw file goes in the uccw folder. The font goes in a fonts folder on the sd card. But where do the png image files go? I have a image_fonts folder inside the uccw folder so I put them there for now. When I open the app I still can't get it to import the skin. However when I use the widget the skin is there. But it's not displayed properly. It's not using the png files I don't think. And there is also an ugly logo.
Here is a pic of what I mean

This what my uccw folder looks like and all of them work properly. You see a folder with the same name as the uzip file under each uzip, the .PNG or picture is in that folder. The weather icons are in a folder named weather. This app definitely has a bit of a learning curve but is pretty cool once you get the hang of it. Hope this helps and good luck!

okay ill try making a folder of the skin and putting the png files in there. But the files I have are uccw files not uzip files. I think its from an older version.

I hope I understand your question correctly. You should be able to import the uzip files directly into UCCW. In the app, press menu, select 'import skins,' navigate to where you have the skins (uzip files) stored, then select that file. UCCW should load everything up, placing all the files within the uzip file in the appropriate directories, and, voilà, you can now use the skin of your choice. Hope this helps. Good luck.

True, basically don't unzip or do anything with the .uzip file. And if I remember right, you can import the file from wherever you downloaded it to. It really is a cool app once you get used to it. With hotspots and all it has become my all in one widget basically. Good luck with the import, just remember, the app does the work. I'm still trying to build my own, that is taking some time to learn. I'm not sure if you know of this, but here's a spot where there are lots of premade files. They are throughout but there are some great ones in there.

Enjoy.

Thanks for all the help guys appreciate it.

ok i don't know where you guys see the import option but in the latest version is missing

Just restored my phone, but UCCW will not let me import any of my saved files. There isn't even an 'Import' selection when I use the 'New' button...what's up? The file I want to import is already on my phone, as a .uccw...

Most frustrating...had a few brief moments where I could create my own by getting my images from Photos, but that stopped working, too...

Create APK Error

Hey guys. I'm new to this whole process. I decided to try my hand at putting one of my Zooper widget designs up on the Market, and I'm trying to work my way through the process. When I try to create the APK file using Zooper on my phone, I get the following error:
Failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /fonts/BebasNeue.otf: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not sure what to do. In a random attempt to solve the problem, I downloaded the BebasNeue.otf file from an online font site, and tried placing it in both the sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts folder, AND the normal sdcard/font folder, but this did not help. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I even tried creating an sdcard/fonts directory (with the 's') since that's what the error message is giving, but to no avail. I'm assuming I need to have a folder somewhere, but I guess I just don't know WHERE Zooper is looking for it.

did you figure this out?

I created a fonts folder on system root, and still get the error about fonts missing. i have tried to copy the font to the new font folder on the system root and get an error thats theres not enough space. not sure what to do next?
Thanks for any help.

Trying to create such a folder but ES file explorer says there's no space left (actually there's 4GB left). When creating in recovery it's not there after boot.
Got root access for ES.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago.. My problem was that I had the same fonts both on fonts system directory both on Zooper fonts dir. When I picked the font for an element it seems that I chose the system font and not the Zooper one (in fact the same font was reported two times in Zooper dialog).. When I picked the other font the export zip was finally successfully..
Another suggestion I can give is to check if font file has white spaces in its name, and eventually remove it.. Hope it helps!
EDIT: @Hornet991 try to rename your file to something like akami.ttf with lowerspace chars..

Tried again and finally found a solution for me. In font dialog, zooper says "save on sdcard in fonts/" so i simply created such a folder on sdcard/ (internal) and copied akashi.ttf in it. then renamed it "akami.ttf" to see which font is the new placed, cause I had the original akashi.ttf still shown in zooper-dialogue. chose the new "akami.ttf" and it saved properly.
Thanks for your support.

[FIXED] Font Error While Saving APKzip
This is the only solution that Works:
The "problem lies with the in-built fonts of zooper". Notice that the Error comes up due to any font you use except for the 'Normal' font and a few others:
These are the fonts that caused error for me:
1. Roboto all the variant)
2.Robot Condensed (all the variants)
3..Akashi
3.Squared
4.Future and
5.Disco
The Solution is to never use the in-built fonts always use your own downloaded fonts and put them in the folder /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts. And remember to check the option "Store external resources...." while saving your work.

[Q] No Zooperwidget Folder

Hey all,
I've been trying for a couple of frustrasting hours to install zooper widgets (new time android user), and for the life of me there is no zooperwidget folder on my Oneplus One. The internal storage doesn't show it and it doesn't give me the option of making one myself. I create a new folder, name it ZooperWidget, and it resets into "New folder". Afterwards I can't change it, or do anything with it.
I also tried saving a template in ZooperWidget, named it "test", in the hopes that the app would make a folder itself in which I can save other templates. Alas, no luck either.
However, I can see through file manager that my phone has a ZooperWidget folder, in which the "test" template was saved. But I don't know how to put any templates in it from my download folder, nor does it show on my PC.
I've tried for several hours so far, searched on every forum, restarted my PC, my phone, nothing seems to be showing the "ZooperWidget" folder, nor can I find any explanation on how to install zooper widget templates.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm all very new to android.
Thanks in advance!

What file manager are you using?
