greetings all. having used redemption rom for a bit i know the quallity of heyitslou's work. so much in fact i was hesitant to switch to redemptive, kinda like contempt prior to investigation if you will. man was i being a tard. this is the hottest thing going for our dincs opening a whole new theming world to us do to the evo framework. with all the questions being asked about specific compatibility with this rom and evo themes i thought i would start a thread where we could post our experiances theming redemptive.(please excuse my typing im a chef not an office assistant.)
for myself i started with riptide9s color and clear. i love blue and his thread has some pretty cool addons too. the only problem was his theme killed the animations so i switched to pimpshits nameless blue/black theme.it is based off of riptides theme and has full animations. he like lou is contantly working to either solve individual issues or patch in requests. i even use the riptide addons as not all of them kill the animations.
so post your screenies answers, questions, etc that have to do with theming redemptive rom. also please do a thread search before you ask simple questions as the redemptive thread has a huge following and im sure its difficult to respond timely to legitimate questions. remember guys like lou and pimp**** work for free making our dincs rock so if you can please donate.
How to Make EVO themes work on Redemptive rEVOlution
How to make EVO themes work on Redemptive rEVOlution:
If you want to make EVO themes work on Redemptive rEVOlution there's only a few things to do...
If the theme includes framework-res.apk (most do) you will lose all the transitions from the Rom because this is where the files for the transitions exist this isn't a flaw in the Rom it's part of the theme. You can flash a theme with this file and it will work but if you lose your transitions that's why.
MMS: If you flash an EVO theme which includes framework-res.apk you will also lose the ability to send picture messages. I'v included this fix in the themed and un-themed versions of Redemptive rEVOlution version 1.8.
Fix for this download this app: http://bit.ly/cDzln9
Use this to delete the current apns.xml file and install a new one this will fix the MMS problem.
If the theme contains the HTC Music app or widget these will work but they won't recognize your internal storage. This is just something you'll have to live with if you want to have the themed versions or you can port the theme over to the compatible Incredible versions.
If the theme includes the PCSII.apk use 7zip if you're on windows or Ark Manager if you're on linux to delete this out of the theme's zip file. This method won't require you to have to resign the theme's zip file before you flash it. PSCII.apk is what keeps Internal storage from mounting.
These few adjustments will allow you to flash almost any EVO theme without breaking anything else.
and on a side note pimpshits theme has the external mount fix. not sure about the mms issue as i solved that through the fix posted in redemptive thread when both were having that issue.

Worked fine for me. Flashed MattedBlue over Alpha theme and all seems to be ok.
I'd still run a Nandroid though...just in case. I did. So I can flip between Alpha or MattedBlue now

I thought I'd share some themes for the stock rom. These themes are all compatible with the stock deodexed 2.3.340 rom.
NOTES:
1. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!! You assume all responsibility for what you do to your device!!!!
2. You must have root.
3. You must have Koush's Bootstrap Recovery to flash the .zips.
4. You must be deodexed first. Flash this zip to deodex if you have not done so yet. You may also use this file to return to the stock theme after flashing my other themes. DOWNLOAD LINK ------ MIRROR

Love it Mike! Works like a charm! Much thanks!
Thanks a lot Mike I have been looking all over the net for this. You should also posted at the Droid X Forums and Droid forums. You're gonna make a lot of people very happy if you posted over there, or I can do it for you with all credit going to you of course.
Is it possible to see more pics of the gingerbread theme on different screen...eg dialer market etc. Thanks

@maddog feel free to start threads wherever you like. I'll only be checking the threads here and at Droid-life (under DX themes), so just refer people to those threads for any questions.
@HCdroid This initial version of these themes do not skin any apps. Updates will be coming though that will include browser, market, dialer etc. Stay tuned
FYI waremike32 = unkleduke, I had to use my old nick to post the links here.
My phone did not like, i have stock 2.3.340 rooted and when i installed it almost bricked my phone. Would get stuck at the initial boot logo and go nowhere. Luckily i figured out taking my micro sd out and plugging the phone into usb while booting made the clockwork mod bootstrapper pop up so i could use my backup image. Almost had to SBF.
Not sure what caused it but man i wish i could get that gingerbread theme working!
Just got it loaded on my X. Everything I was hoping plus then some. Thanks for this!...very reluctant on running a custom ROM since I'm pleased with the stock one and this fit the bill perfectly.

Did you deodex first? First boot may take a few minutes. You should see the droid eye animation run for awhile. As long as it doesn't loop, it is probably running fine.

Fairly certain i deodex, but still it never got past the initial boot image, droid eye never loaded. it sat at that first screen for about 5 minutes, never moved on. I used my restore point and got it back to normal so all is well. Im still going to try it out again, ill try to deodex again and see if that makes a difference
It couldn't hurt to manually mount /system before flashing each .zip. Might help.
how do i deodex the ota 2.2.340?
Instructions on OP include a zip file to deodex 2.3.340. I used it and worked flawlessly
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Just to verify, if I make a backup before installing deodex and theme, restoring the backup will get rid of both and I will be back to complete stock?

All good now got the gingerbread theme up and running, much thanks to THE DUKE
Works great...... thanks !
Worked great thank you.
Works nicely, one issue!
For some reason now I do not see my live wallpapers on the home menu! Any thoughts?
Restore a backup, confirm your wallpapers work. Then reflash the theme and be sure to mount /system first.
What themes from the Desire HD work for the Inspire or what should I look for in a theme to make sure it works?
all themes should be fine. Unless a theme is for a specific rom. just remember you can't flash a theme over a rooted ATT stock rom unless it has been deodexed
When I asked this, it was before all the Desire HD Roms came in the Inspire sectiion. I already flashed the Revolution Rom and now deciding which Theme.
What does deodexed mean?

quick and dirty odex explanation http://www.forceclose.com/questions/2307/what-are-odex-files
in short, a rom in order to be themed has to have these odex files removed and their contents packaged back into the apk file.
if you try to theme an Odexed rom I don't think it will even boot.
so i rooted my inspire but decided i dont really want to put a different rom on because of the sound issues i see going on..that means i cant use any metamorph themes?

Correct. Themes will only work on a de-odexed ROM

I am pretty sure they resolved most of the sound issuse. Android revolution has great sound in my experience with it. It even appeared to sound louder then stock.

Galaxy Tab Original Blue Theme
This Theme/Patch is for everyone using ROMS based upon JMx firmwares who pine for the original Galaxy Tab bright blue theme.
I was inspired to put this together after flashing the brilliant Galaxy Tab MoDaCo ROM. I love that ROM but for some reason the JMx based firmwares have replaced the lovely bright blue theme with a rather dull blue theme. So...after a bit of testing and patience I have managed to put together a file which restores the original bright blue theme across the system and some of the inbuilt apps (Browser/Sms/Email/Contacts/MyFiles)
Details
This patch replaces a few files on your Tab. To change the system theme it updates:
framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
To update the inbuilt apps it updates:
Browser.apk, Contacts.apk, Email.apk, Phone.apk and MMS.apk
I have manually replaced the graphics in these files to ensure compatibility with the firmware
Installation Instructions
The patch is a flashable zip that can be flashed using Clockwork Recovery
Download from this link (version 2)
http://hotfile.com/dl/108620508/16a7538/OriginalTabThemeV2.zip.html
##WARNING## take a Nandroid backup before flashing, I'm not responsible if the flash doesn't work.
I have only tested this on the JMx based MoDaCo R1 ROM. In theory should work on other JMx based ROMs but I can't guarantee for other firmwares
Enjoy
Leod

Really there should be a rule: don't use rapidshare in the android forums, it's a pain, if not completely impossibile to use with any kind of android's browser.
And also don't use rar archives, as all the rar apps on android sucks big time

Come on mate, it's the first time I have posted anything, just trying to share the theme with anyone who's interested.
I've added a hotfile link as well.

No one has posted this so I compiled this theme ZIP file.
I did not change anything about the theme, it has been extracted from the base EP4P ROM and simply put into a ZIP file to be installed via CWM. No changes were made at all. I don't personally make themes, I leave that up to the people who have a much better taste in graphics than I do.
This is the stock EP4P theme, poop and all. LOL The reason why I'm posting this is that as some people may know, going back to the stock theme before applying another theme is recommended to do, at least by TeamGummyCharged. So, here it is and all of the eye gouging horror.
Pay attention to the versions of the files I have below. Only install the one that's appropriate for your ROM version.

Stock EP4D Theme.zip
Updated to include a link to the stock theme for the EP4D ROM that was just released by Verizon for the Droid Charge.

Thank you for doing that.
compatible themes for the allinone 2.3.6
I rooted my phone for the first time last night and have no idea where to start, and end, before screwing my phone up too bad. I did the all in one flash last night and am wondering if there is a compatible theme out there that I can flash to get rid of the "poop". Thanks in advance for everyone's hard work.
There's Black & Red and Black & Blue by stranula. There's also CoreDroid by ForeverSupra. Those three themes are compatible with EP4D.
So... take your pick. Look at them, see what you like, and install the one you like.
More themes are bound to come out now that the final version of Gingerbread is out for this phone. The developers will be more inclined to make themes now for the phone now that there isn't a "new ROM of the week".
Thanks!
That's awesome, thanks TR.
