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

Minimal Black for CM6.1 Stable *UPDATE*20101214

*UPDATE: Totally revamped the theme for CM6.1 Stable.*
I probably will not port this to AOSP(although that is the Rom that I use). I just overhauled my pc to stock and am building up from there to try my hand at developing. "hint" Incentives tend to change my mood.
**WANTED** Just a couple of screen shots of those who may run this(I'm on AOSP and have intentions of changing).
***FYI Don't flash a new rom and theme at the same time. Flash the rom and boot up FIRST and get settled in. Then reboot in to recovery and:
*make a nandroid backup
*wipe cache and dalvik cache
*flash and enjoy

This is a HDMI port I did for a minimalist look. So far it just contains a white status bar and all except like 6 notification icons are themed. After resizing all of them, you can believe me, the status bar and notifications are quite themed.
Credit to ClassicalGas for the great work.

Man been busy lately Are you porting these manually... like file by file? Its nice to see a port that actually gives credit to the original author.

keep up the great work dean.d we aospMod users appreciate your efforts buddy

Yes, I have done this manually to try and bring the full quality of theme. had to resize what seemed like an unlimited amount of pngs. So yeah, I really respect others for the work that they do and the help they provide.

Thanks, I really enjoy your rom alot. I had to go back to CM6.1 to port Orange Glow and it was bad. I was slapped in the face with lagginess.

I'm glad you got it to work. As I said, I haven't tested that one.

Well I have tried for a couple of hrs to get the lockscreen working for the nightlies but failed. Has anyone else got the nightly to boot or tried cm6.1?

Well I'm glad you got it to boot for you. I am sorry that the I could'nt get the lockscreen to work. Mine just boot looped. I'm going to try the theme injector and cast some magic spells and try again. I have just ported a black version for AOSP that I'm about to post but I will try again to get the lockscreen working. I think the problem is the Phone.apk that has to be themed. It gave me a hiccup on AOSP as well the first time I tried it. I'll keep you posted on the lockscreen though.

Stock Rosie

Can anybody help me with getting back the stock rosie?

Did you delete it? Just reflash your ROM.

No, I didn't delete it. I am using a custom rom that has the sexy rosie built in which I'm not in love with and would like to have the stock rosie back.

Thank you... Not sure if it is because of the omega rom I am using, but when I flashed this it did restore the stock however without the dark borders around the 3 rosie icons making them look like separated buttons... any ideas?

Perfect Theme

Just want to share what I think is the perfect theme (IMO).
The theme is not for our phone it's for the I9000 however, if you know how to dissect a rom you can pull just the images and swap them with your favorite GB rom. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANYTHING BUT THE PICTURES or you'll probably end up reflashing your rom.
Note: with some roms, if you copy all the pictures you may lose the H or 4G and it may display only 3G after you transfer the files. You can do some light editing and fix that. This is the only abnormal thing I've noticed by using this.
The thread owner does not want people to use the theme for porting the theme, he says we can use it for our own personal use, hence why I didn't port it over.
** If you bork your phone or your rom or whatever, I didn't make you try this **
If you like his work, make sure to thank/donate.

He is probably a newblet like I am. I'm using infused rom and don't see anything in regards to if it is jvs or jvr. Help!
*edit* seeing as I don't see anything about it for my rom I'm going to assume it isn't

Infused is an infuse ROM, jvs and jvr are for the galaxy i9000 phones that can be flashed using hellraiser. I'm also on infused and i'm using this theme by using just the images. Like it was said before, if u r not comfortable opening apk files and swapping out images, it may not be a good idea to try this, unless u don't mind reflashing if something goes wrong

Hey, or you could actually answer the questions instead of being elitist. I've been flashing ROMs on the Sony X10, Xperia Play, and Captivate. This is the first time I've run into the issue where the ROM creator didn't specify in their thread whether the ROM was JVR, JVK etc.
Anyway, I received a boot loop flashing any of these on top of S7 Hellraiser. If anyone else has tried, let me know.

Thanks for the reply, maybe I'll try this later to get my hands a little dirty. I read you correctly in that I only need place the images into my infused update file and then flash the phone with the update? Don't have to resize or anything?

Right, u download the theme and the room. For every apk on the theme, replace the images on the room with the ones from the theme. When you are done doing that, flash the rom.

If you go to S7's website you'll see that it says it's JVO based and the theme creator (antonda) does not have the theme for the JVO framework. That's is probably why you are getting the bootloops. If you want this theme on S7 you'd have to go through the process of swapping out the image files

please delete

Good luck charge users...

Thanks. If you are talking about the analog clock, it is here. That's the only clock in the center screenshot since the digital clock in the statusbar is part of the theme, so I'm not sure what clocks you are talking about. The wallpaper is here. I'm using ADW but the the text icons were made with simpleicons (free in the market) and the dock was custom made by me.

Thanks for this. If I give it a whirl but want to go back to the original theme, is there a way to do that?
I really wanted to like this theme but it messed up my apps, settings etc.

What version of Clockwork Mod Recovery are you using? If you're not using the 12/7/2011 version 5.0.2.7 that imnuts posted, then you will wipe every time you exit recovery on InfinityROM (has nothing to do with the theme). Additionally, you must wipe both Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery before flashing this theme. I've installed this theme and Grillrd's MinimalInfinity and have had no issue with messed up apps, settings, etc. with either.
In order to go back to the original InfinityROM theme, you either need to flash a Nandroid backup from recovery or reinstall InfinityROM. Always make a Nandroid backup before messing with anything in recovery and always keep another backup for apps and data (like Titanium Backup) current as well. Can't stress that enough.

I posted a zip to revert everything to the original Infinity theme in the second post. Are you SURE you are flashing this theme over InfinityRom1204? That is the ONLY rom this theme is meant for. Also like Karate said and I posted in the first post, make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing this. There where some issues some people had on an older cwm and Infinity that caused wiping so maybe that's your problem. There should be no reason this theme messes up anything.

Running this now. Pretty frigging good looking, just wish it would show up better in light without having to turn up the brightness.

Look on first page for link.

I see that the updated infinity 10-11-11 rom has had some framework changes. Anyone tried this theme with the updated version? I assume you will probrably not keep the framework changes with flashing this theme since it is for a older version but will it work? Also will there be an updated theme for this 10-11 version of infinity? Loving this theme hate to lose it!

Can't report from personal experience, but someone was reporting in IRC yesterday that it was causing him bootloops over 1211. If you try it, make sure you have a backup.
