Is it possible to change the system theme without installing a custom rom - General Questions and Answers

I rooted my friends lg doubleplay (no custom roms whatsoever). And she really wants to change the system theme to blue or something. Is it possible to change the system theme without installing a custom rom. Can i just extract a theme manager from a rom and install it on her phone

There's a theme manager on the market, yes you can replace the system theme, but you need to be rooted and have cwm to flash it. If you are on cm9 search up cm themes if cm7, cm7 themes.

D1, I'm still a newb to all this, but I do know that some themes are written for specific ROMs, but the only way to know is to flash the theme, before you do, do a nand back-up prior to flashing the theme. That way if it doesn't work, you can go back to your prior working set-up. Hope this works for you.

Root and flash cm7. Then you can use the theme engine all you want.

Maybe this is not the place to ask, but to avoid opening a new thread, here it goes.
I flashed cm7.1 in my Ace, but by mistake I uninstaled the theme manager. Since I didn't used any theme's, I didn't reflash the ROM in the moment. Now I am not willing to re-flash it and then reorganize the whole phone again, apps, data and what not...
Is there a way to install just the theme manager?
As far as I know you can flash the same rom without wiping, I've had to do it before after accidentally deleting systemui

Are you rooted? If so, there are many custom roms that are cm7 based that come with the t mobile theme chooser. Sense roms have their own skin changer app. This is a hero thread as well, but I'm sure this holds true with all of their cm7 roms.

Miui music theme install problems

Hi,
I'm just trying to update my miui music player with the new ICS theme.. although it would seem that developers are releasing them as stand alone .apk's rather than a theme - this is fine if you don't have miui rom with the miui player installed as a system app.
But if you run a miui rom and have it installed as a system app the new ics miui music .apk wont install as it can't remove the original system app...
I've tried removing the original miui music system app with titanium backup and it boots into recovery, but signature verification fails when I disable this verification I have to boot back up to tell titanium to remove the system apk then it goes back to recovery and signature verification is reenabled by default - so stuck in a catch 22.
My whole phone is ics theme apart from the miui music.. can anyone advise what I can do to install the miui music ics themed apk?
Thanks guys.

Rom Toolbox and Themes

So I just started using Rom Toolbox last night (thanks seeker9 for the recommendation). I've changed system font, battery status icon in the status bar, changed my boot animation and experimented with underclocking the processor. I notice there's a theme manager. Has anybody safely used the theme manager with SuperCharged V5 or any other ROM with the Atrix 2?
I have and it bricked my phone dont use please

What specific part bricked your phone? The theme manager? ROM manager? I've only used the features I mentioned, "system font, battery status icon in the status bar, changed my boot animation and experimented with underclocking the processor". I manage ROMs with Atrix 2 Bootstraper.
BTW there are two theme managers. One called Theme Manager and one called Theme Chooser Themes. Since we don't run CM7 (or 9) yet its obvious we can't use Theme Chooser. I'm wondering about the Theme Manager though. Nothing there looks extremely compelling to me. Just curious. Not curious enough to brick my phone though. I might try Notification Backgrounds first. Anybody here try that?
I'd like to try the dialer themes too. Anybody try that with SupsrCharged ROM?

I've been using it for months and never bricked my phone once using it but changing the themes is the only thing i don't use because we don't have access to any ROMS yet

yep im using it also and you can use theme Changer without any Problems but make a Backup of your Stock theme so you can revert it sometime

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.
