Installing theme over a rom - Verizon Droid Charge

Im new to this whole rooting rom thing. I just put gummycharged 1.8.5 on along with pbj oc and was wondering if I can install http://www.appbrain.com/app/minimalist-metal-adw-theme/com.david1171.minimalistmetal aswell. I tried and I cannot get it to work from the android market.
Thanks

It sounds like you don't have ADW launcher installed. Go to the Market and search "adw launcher" and download the free version. If you want to apply that theme you'll have to go to the ADW Launcher options and apply it through there.

Yup just install ADW Launcher and then apply. You'll be golden. I'm currently running the Honeycomb theme on ADW

Just be carefull applying system wide themes, unless they were made specifically for the rom your using, otherwise essentially you are changing the rom. For example, say the dev of yiur rom made some tweaks in the framework-res.apk to increase battery life, then you install a theme you found somewhere over the top, now you have lost the tweaks because you just overwrote the framework-res.apk with another one.
As said above though, you can apply any launcher themes without worrying about messing up your rom. hope this gives u a little insight.

So just to be clear I can't brick my phone by putting a theme over gummycharged correct?
Does anyone know if that theme I want conflicts with gummycharged 1.8.5

[THEME] MIUI theme + new blue theme

This a miui theme I compiled using rodriguez's rom framework. I had a lot of problems with the smooth green theme from xvenom89 over at the droid incredible forum and decided to port of parts of his theme + parts of rod's theme (such as a sweet lockscreen) + icons that I'd used in previous roms such as a different status bar icons like 3g, wifi etc... It is basically a green theme with a bit of color here and there. It should work on any miui rom, since I've only changed the framework, it should definitely work on a nexus and even a desire miui rom, since their frameworks are identical, it also has rounded buttons from the smooth green theme
Remember nandroid....these are all flashable zip files, which can be flashed from recovery, I've also included the original framework of rodriguez's rom which has the custom lockscreen and is identical to the stock miui rom except for the lockscreen, in case you wanna go back to the stock look and feel.
All I've done is copy and paste icons, the real credit should go to the devs such as rodriguez, xvenom89, djmcnz and ofcourse the miui team.
LINK FOR THE MODDED THEME: waiting on whether can post the theme or not
ORIGINAL STOCK LIKE THEME: http://www.multiupload.com/O3RW1NY9JB
made a new blue theme for all those people who like blue, changed the emoticons to the android stock emoticons, since they look better, I like to thank fllash over at the desire themes and app and riptide over at the evo 4g development and xvenom89 for the icons, also I did some of my own customization to put it all together, most of the stuff are themed. Again if you want to go back to stock just flash the original stock theme. Can't put any screenshots up right now. Nearly everything is themed blue, changed the status bar icons.

I'm using Amon's 1.7.0.1
I though so, with amon ra 1.70, the zip file has to be signed, this zip file isn't signed, I'd recommend installing clockwork mod recovery using rom manager in the market, to just flash this file and then there is an option in rom manager where you can revert back to amon ra.

Looks awesome! I'm on Amon RA too so I'll probably try this later on. Could we revert back to the original theme after flashing to this?
Just flashed this over Rod's ROM... VERY NICE! Really wasn't a big fan of the original (MIUI) colors at all. Rod has done a good job changing most but this really brings it all together! Thanx for the work, looks awesome

Yes, I've included the original theme aswell, that is the 2nd link posted, only thin that is different is the lockscreen, because I thought that that rod's lockscreen looks cooler overall.
@zoman thanks, will probably work on some of the colours, such as the bookmarks tab in browser needs to be reverted. I was a big fan of the minimalistic theme and this comprehends that theme pretty well.
hello Cpt. curry
i have request for you.
could you make a set of smiley icon for messaging in miui rom?
i just miss the smiley from the stock
Looks great. It really helps makes it come together. Hope this is maintained going forward
I've worked on it a bit and changed a bunch of things. I might be also realeasing a rom soon with the camera and the contacts application themed. Since I hate that ugly camera texture. It looks bad.
I just realized that I accidentally took a screenshot. Its stored on MIUI Screenshots on the SDCard. Does anyone know what tje shortcut is?

menu + volume down gives you the screen shot.
new theme posted up, its blue and its snazzy.
Edit: I changed the emoticons in the new blue theme to android stock however it wont work in the miui messaging app because the miui messaging app has its own emoticons which can't be changed because they're part of the apk.
so do these themes change the stock wood folders as well?
nah they dont the stock wood folders are to do with the miui launcher itself. I can change them but then I would have to make a rom itslf. You'd rather just flash the themed roms like rodriguez rom.
Cpt.Curry, I don't recall you asking for permission to make a port using either of my MIUI themes. I started both threads with "Please do not repost (or port & upload) my work without permission; do not claim any of my work as your own; I've put a lot of time into making this what it is today. Before doing anything questionable, ask yourself how you would feel if someone took credit for your work. Thanks for understanding." Did you read that? You did give credit for the work appropriately, but what concerns me is that you didn't honor my one request.
Anyways, If you guys like what you see here, check out my original Smooth Green thread- I've made quite a few changes from what Cpt.Curry is using in this theme and continue to work on it every 1-3 days. I've worked out all (as it seems) bugs and continue to theme the system apps. As always, check out the original thread for updates and to report any bugs you may find. Yes, it works on Nexus, too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793358
In addition to that, check out my Smooth Blue theme- again, where Cpt.Curry got most images from. I haven't posted an update in a few days, but the next one is ~70% complete and should be up within a few days. It, too, will contain all the latest fixes and is an improvement on the last. Check out its thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8404782
Overall, these are pretty much older releases of my themes with some extra [not necessarily appealing] color from different works.
Cheers.

Theme discussion for redemptive rom

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

Themes For Stock ROM - 2.3.340

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
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
@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?

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.

[Q] Can I choose any theme I want?

So now that I have ICBINB Rom installed, am I limited to my Theme choices? I noticed in the theme section, themes are posted for specific Roms. Is this how it is with custom Roms? Do Themes have to be made custom for the Rom you are using?
I have Go Launcher and Go SMS with all the themes I purchased. Can I use go launcher and Go SMS and all the themes with the ICBINB Rom? I don't want to attempt to install anything that may cause conflict and screw up my phone.
you could use those themes those are just from the launcher am i correct? if so then dont worry you could use any of those without a problem as long as you could run the launcher on there then you could use any theme for that launcher

Battery Indicator mod

I just set my phone back to Gingerbread stock and rooted it. I hate the fact that it doesn't show battery percentage. I don't want to put a Rom on my phone so is there any battery indicator mods that will change this on our phone?
search the theme and apps sections, and search the market for theme chooser themes.
one of those should be able to change that on stock ROM.

Theme chooser is only for cm7 based ROMs.
You'll have to find a flashable theme to change that... or use uot kitchen. It's very simple to use.
I have used Rom Toolbox, under Interface/Icon Changer.
UOT kitchen ftw, nothing like theming the rom your own way.
