Well you would probably want to flash back over your original rom and then the new theme. Its not necessary but some themes theme more stuff then other and you might get some mixing. Wiping dalvik helps also but is also not necessary.
For instance some times theming goes into other app like facebook but your new theme my not if you then flashed the new theme the face book them would still be there. Sometimes this can produce nice results and sometime not so much.
Thanks for the help I appreciate it didn't wanta do it with out at least checking the forums first

Okay, I have a Droid X, I rooted with z4, got kouch's bootstrapper and running 928s theme. I am lost on this entire process of switching programs. Im suppose to be deoxed by the 928 theme, but dunno if I am. I guess I need help picking a new theme and figuring out how to do it from where I am now.
If you successfully loaded a new theme then you are definitely deodexed now.

Or just use root explorer, got to system, then apps and see if there are any deoex files. If not, you are fine.
Is it a big deal to flash a theme over a different theme if you're staying on the same rom?
Say I come across something else I want to use...should I install the rom and then put the new theme on, or can I just flash the new them over the old one?

You can just flash over, but if something is themed in the old and not themed in the new then you will still have that bit of the old showing. Also, this probably should have been posted in Q&A, just for future reference.

Good to know, thanks.
A follow up question...is there any way to uninstall or remove a theme? I like the one I'm using now, but in the past I've added some themes I immediately regretted. Can those be removed without reflashing the rom?

Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash your current rom. You won't lose anything except the theme.

You may need to reflash gapps, as well, if the theme themed them.
Good to know, I appreciate the help.

If you are running Khasmek's awesome K-Lean V2 for CDMA here is a minor theme for it! Its an Orange theme based on GenerationX for the Samsung I9000.
Boot into Khasmek's red recovery and install .zip from SDcard! (no need to rename to update.zip, just install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and find the file)
Changes include full framework-res, Settings.apk, default font, and Services.jar edits. It is patched for Transparency.
ALWAYS do a backup.

First boot may take a while as the services.jar edit causes boot to take a bit longer then usual. do not panick, remember you made a backup! RIGHT!?
I'm not responsible blah blah blah... I'll be adding more themed apps as I go, but if JT and Khas get CM7 up and running I'll probably move to that as well.
Everyone thank Khasmek for a FAST *ss ROM and Kernel... glad to see some dev work on the CDMA version of this... thanks bud!
(also no need to wipe data, if you have any issues (which you shouldn't), try wiping dalvik cache ONLY and try booting again)
Enjoy!
OH, by the way, it looks best with LCD density set to 240 instead of 180... IMO.
This is so cool bro! Love this theme, using this theme. Thinking about proposing to this theme.
You're the man.
Yaay finally a theme for the VZW tab. And the K-lean theme too!
Got it installed, looks great. Thanks!

Yeah !
Just wanted to say thanks to you all for all your hard work so far with the Verizon tab, as we all know there really isnt much out for it as far as roms go and to see Boush and you themers finally making it happen is awesome, thank you guys again !! I am going to try the orange theme today can't wait. Also if there's anything I can do as far as testing etc. lemme know Ive been lurking for a while and really appreciate the stuff you guys do. Thanks, Jason
Edit: Is it ok to use clockwork mod recovery to do this ? I tried and can't get it to work this way, what other way is there to do it ?
what's Khasmeks red recovery ? referred to in first post of this thread ...anyone ? I can get into clockwork recovery all day long and tried to wipe dalvik cache...still no dice
Can anyone answer this? I've flashed stuff before using heimdall and am not completely dumb when it comes to this...
Can someone give me a hand I feel like I'm talking to.myself
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App
The prerequisites for this appear to be Boushh's KhasMek voodoo kernel/recovery and K-Lean ROM, both of which have their own threads in the Galaxy Tab Android Development forum. If you havn't done those yet then I would assume that this theme will not work for you until you have taken care of that.
I have been putting off trying out the K-Lean ROM due to the required factory reset, but it looks like I might need to try it tonight now that themes are appearing for it.
Offered for German Theme Tab
Is that offered theme for the German Galaxy Tab are very good.

not working
I have K lean mod v2 and voodoo kernel on my tab and ive tried bootstrap recovery, choose zip from sd card and scroll down to KhasOrange I think its called I try to apply the zip and the installation is immediately aborted, nothing happens. Not sure what Im doing wrong.
Edt: I was thinking of renaming the file update.zip even you say not to in the installation instructions...would doing that be ok to do ? or not help at all ?
Got it !
I figured out my problem and I think it may be worth mentioning that you need to have the must up to date vodoo kernel in order to get this. I finally figured out what Khasmeks "red" recovery is !! Love the theme so far and hope that this means that the door is opened for more themes for our verizon devices.
Great theme!
By the way I only have Boushh's kernel in my tab, not his rom. 10 min of use, everything right so far. Will post again tomorrow.

A default theme is what it would look like after a fresh install
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
the default theme, if i'm not wrong, is the android stock theme. which is the one, in my opinion, every rom should include as default, or at least, as an option (cm 6.1.3 from wolfbreak is awesome, but i don't like the theme)
i think you can get it reflashing the rom

Why don't you just extract the framework from beta 4 and use it on wolfs cm6.1.3
Or install beta 4 and add Cm settings, then add apps etc from wolfs rom?
Just a thought
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the reply guys. Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm currently using Z's freeX10 beta 4 and the thing is I don't want to reflash every thing or else I'd need to customize everything back to the way it is. Too time consuming haha. Basically I want it because when I installed another theme before, some aspects of the theme remained on my phone even though I installed another theme. I'm not sure how to get rid of them, so I was hoping the default theme would get rid of them. I'll attach pictures to this post in a few minutes to show you what I mean. And yeah, I did try to extract the framework from the beta 4 but i failed miserably, It didn't let me install it through recovery
EDIT: attached pictures from phone. basically I really hate that youtube icon and I wanna get rid of it and revert it back to the normal one.
You wont be able to install framework through xrecovery, you would have to swap it using root explorer and change permissions, reboot then it should be fine
But make sure you copy the framework that was on before just in case anything happens, and/or backup using xrecovery for safety

Hi, guy. I'm new to android, inspire 4g is my first smartphone. I spent a tone of time learn how to root, radio s-off, sim-unlock my device. I used the "hackerize-ace" package V9. I'm currently using 【rom】 Android Revolution 4G 3.2， 【bootloader】 ace-hacker SHIP-S-Off(something like this), 【clockworkmod recovery】 3.0.0.6 (something like this) 【software version】2.2.1 . I'm having a hard time trying to install a new theme for my phone, can anyone help me out? provide me with more detailed steps? Thank you very much. If you need more information in order to help, please let me know.

What kind of trouble are you having? What is happening when you try to flash the theme? I am assuming you have flashed the rom then a full reboot then flash the theme.
ummm, I flash the rom, then reboot device, then use rom manage to install(in recovery). But, the theme did not appear the same as post. And some places, like the phonebook/contacts list looked mess up.
For your contact list, sounds like a font provlem. Your best bet would be to ask the theme dev.

Make sure you are installing the 1.84 version of whatever theme you choose. That may be your problem.
