[Q] Elelinux on Hero:Theme chooser fails - General Questions and Answers

Just installed latest Elelinux on my Hero and find that the Theme Chooser app will not change themes away from 'Elegance". I ran Rom Manager's 'fix permissions' and tried rebooting immediately after a 'change' but no dice.
Are these themes (Androidian and System) 'live' or in some other way beyond the Hero's capabilities?
How so I tell whether a 3rd party theme is suitable for the Hero? Is finding them a matter of digging through Deviant Art and suchlike?

BUMP
... so nobody else has any difficulty using Theme Chooser under Elelinux on a Hero??
If TC's OK on your Hero, please let me know as well. Then I'll just stop bothering, look for another distro or something else.

thanks for this information mate

[Q] need help porting theme

I'am trying to port a theme to the Epic from the Evo Forum and I have an issue with the market. After I modified the framework and the vending.apk the market is themed and semi works. What I mean is that it opens and its searchable, but when I click on an app it force closes and even when I try to click My Apps in the menu button it force closes. Does any one have a clue to what I'am missing or what I did wrong?
I have more Issues but Its just a matter if time for those since modifying what goes on resource.frameworks.apk to twframeworks.apk. As soon as I am done with it I will post it in the Themes Section.
Here is the Original post from the Evo section made by "Slayer69"

Hi,
For a start the thme you are trying to apply is not designed for your phone.
Edit: the reason it is giving you errors is that the theme you are trying to install is a theme that needs to be flashed from recovery. metamorph will only handle files that were designed for iit.

[Q] theme chooser custom rom

Hi ,
I'm trying to build a custom rom for the jiayu g4 with as base stock kitkat rom.
Now, I would like to add theme ability to the rom. Not with xposed framework or such, just a theme chooser like in the xperia and cm settings.
Can anyone help me with this? The intension is to have such setting (or app that I can link to settings) to easely change the theme.
If there's an option to do this, but specific for my kind of phone (so no theme's exist yet), I wouldn't mind theming a bit. In that case I could provide the users with 3 or 4 different UI collours and different icons or such to choose from.
Thanks,
Louis

You could try adding the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM and offer some themes for it but that isn't device specific as such. That would most likely be the easy option where something else could take a lot of time though.

How can i add the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM? Isn't the cyanogenmod theme engine built in in the framework and very difficult to add to a ROM?

It is built into the framework and requires an AOSP based rom. Also the version for that OS had a ton of issues that were never fixed as it abandoned for the newer setup

So you're telling me I must not try to add the cyanogenmod theme engine? What would be the easiest way to add some theme's then? It doesn't have to be theming like in cyanogenmod or such. Just changing the theme collour from as example black to blue would be enough for me. Then I can provide them with the themes black, blue, red, green or such.
Thanks for taking the time to answer

To do what you want you would have to rewrite all the base framework files and add everything in by hand. To be honest it will be far more work then it is worth. Your best option would be to make flashable theme zips, where you change all the color options to each and every single apk in the rom.

wouldn't it work to just change the systemui or such so the status bar, volume pannel, settings etc change collour and maybe some icons (like wifi, bt,..)? And then I could search for an app that automaticaly flashes zip's, that way the users just need to choose the theme they want and the phone does the rest himself?
Or is there a way to implend xposed modules into the system so I can use XthemeEngine without having to install xposed module? Or implend xposed framework and XthemeEngine in the ROM so you just flash it with the rest of the ROM? But in that last case, it maybe would be stupid to do the work for it as everyone can easily find out about XthemeEngine if they realy want to apply some themes. Plus xposed and XthemeEngine would be 2 apps taking space in the drawer and memory wasting for the users who don't want to theme..

Well thats the thing. The volume panel color shares its color with the rest of the menus in the rom, The settings is set by the settings apk and the icons are scattered across a ton of different apks. Some in the framework and some in the system ui.
The xposed route is up to you. I find no use for xposed myself.
Ill be honest there is no easy way to do this. What you want to do takes weeks worth of work even for a single color theme. This is due to everything being cross linked to everything else. You change the color for say the clock then the color changes in 50 other places as well.
