D1, I'm still a newb to all this, but I do know that some themes are written for specific ROMs, but the only way to know is to flash the theme, before you do, do a nand back-up prior to flashing the theme. That way if it doesn't work, you can go back to your prior working set-up. Hope this works for you.

Hi,
i love the stock android rom. Actually im using stock GRI40.
The only thing i miss, is the HSPA icon differentiation.
Is there a possibility to just change this?
Thx
yes custom ROMs
or you can theme it yourself if you know what to edit on the framework
ok, using a custom rom would solve my problem, i know
to be honnest, i just want to have this "H icon" and nothing else...
I'm not into " theming and modifying", so i thougt someone else perhaps could have done that already.

In the development section you can find a stock 2.3.3 deodexed ROM which will allow theming (you can't theme on stock ROMs because of Odex files which are removed in a DEodexed rom ). If you don't want theming you don't have to use it but you absolutely cannot get the HSPA icon on a stock rom. It has to be deodexed and themed or using a ROM that has it natively (like CM7 which btw looks like stock gingerbread and is fiercely stable).
where can i find the t mobile theme chooser app? i would like to install themes and im on a sense rom.... i see that there are threads with themes but when i install em its only the theme

Root and flash cm7. Then you can use the theme engine all you want.

Maybe this is not the place to ask, but to avoid opening a new thread, here it goes.
I flashed cm7.1 in my Ace, but by mistake I uninstaled the theme manager. Since I didn't used any theme's, I didn't reflash the ROM in the moment. Now I am not willing to re-flash it and then reorganize the whole phone again, apps, data and what not...
Is there a way to install just the theme manager?
As far as I know you can flash the same rom without wiping, I've had to do it before after accidentally deleting systemui

Are you rooted? If so, there are many custom roms that are cm7 based that come with the t mobile theme chooser. Sense roms have their own skin changer app. This is a hero thread as well, but I'm sure this holds true with all of their cm7 roms.

So i'm assuming stock, and what theme are you trying to install? If its a Theme Engine theme in .apk format, like something you got from the market, then you would need a AOSP based ROM like CM7. If its a theme you downloaded somewhere else, and its in .zip format, then you need to specify which theme and/or where you got it from. Installing themes depend on if they were made for your ROM/phone.
Thanks for the info, is there a write up or section that tells me what is needed to install the cm7rom
thx

If you never modded your g2x before, that means you probably have the stock recovery, you need ClockWorkMod Recovery to flash anything custom, ROMs, kernels, etc. Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
It will walk you through flashing the latest CWM Recovery. Read and follow the directions carefully. When you have CWM Recovery flashing and working properly, then you can visit the Android Development section and find CM7 official, or a nightly. Good luck

I have seen many posts asking for things from the original oneclick that are taken out of ROMs, tomorrow I will pull EVERYTHING from the stock rom and put it up as an individual download for people who need stock apps/widgets/sounds/wallpapers

awesome.
sound good.

Go to this thread and download the stock Rom.
Extract the files from the zip.
You can then "borrow" whatever files you need.
Note: the above rom is deodexed. I am not 100% sure that all of the files will work. Check and see if you are on odexed rom.

Thank you. but i want to know how to pull the widgets out of rom. or if someone here can pull it for me as apk. what most important for me is. weather which is from AccuWeather, digital clock, analog dual clock and AP mobile news.
If you flash a theme from the download list in the development forum does it auto install without the ability to remove?
I would like to try some, but hoping they are options to choose similar to choosing a wallpaper.
If you're on a custom ROM then most have a theme chooser to change back and forth between default and whatever else. Also if you're on stock rooted in has to be de-odexed for you to apply themes. If your ROM doesn't have a theme chooser then you can download ROM Toolbox from the Play store and it has a theme chooser as part of it that should allow you to change back to default. I've only messed with themes from the play store but the one you flash shouldn't be too different

^^^Ok, that made it seem very difficult (no offense, poster)
You on stock TW or a TW ROM? No, it doesn't auto-install. Download a theme, go into recovery and flash it. If you're on an AOSP ROM, you have to install the apk then apply through theme chooser. Nothing is automatic.

Thanks guys.
I am on clean rom 4.5.
I'm assuming that if I flash the theme and do not have a theme chooser then the theme will be sitting on my phone somewhere unable to be applied...
I'll just make a backup and then flash it lol.

It really wasn't that bad was it? I just tried to cover all bases. Like he really has to be on a deodexed ROM for almost every theme. I have only seen a few themes for odexed ROMs. And then the rest of it was talkin about theme managers. I do tend to make long posts though and over explain things, only cause most of the newbies on here have to have it broken down like I did when I first started flashing, themeing, and modding......
Anyway
