I know some of you are into custom roms because they are customizable, fast, mods, or because they have theme chooser. One of the main reasons why I like custom roms is because they have no bloatware and because of theme chooser.
I'm posting this because I would like to have some feedback/ideas on creating a theme for theme chooser. Anything can help, well as long as it is relevant to this subject. I expect your responses.
BTW you can find some of my themes on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Alexis+Diaz

Why are more themers NOT using the theme manager in CM7? I think this is one of the absolute COOLEST additions to CM7 and cant find that many themes that support it.
What gives? It it SO much better than having to boto to recovery and flash every time, and if you dont like it, its SUPER easy to get back.

I still like to flash because I know it's made for my device. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong.. but theme chooser doesn't give you things llike widgets?
I use Sonnys themes here because it gives me a bunch of widgets and apps that are themed.. as well as lockscreens, notification pulldowns.
That said, I wouldn't have an issue applying a theme then pushing the widgets I want, but I haven't found any that are really my style.

I think themers are still unlocking the potential of theme manager. Over the past two weeks I've seen more and more complex themes being released. Personally I love the theme manager and how easy it make to hop from theme to theme.
I'll be keeping my themes flashable for a while still. In order to get them on theme manager, I'd have to re-do everything (again). Also, themes installed through the theme manager app can't modify a lot of things that make a theme look "complete" and I'd rather release a flashable theme that covers all the bases than a theme for the theme manager that only gives you half of it.
I want to implement my icons into a theme, and my questions are:
First question: Does the cm9/aokp (prev cm7 themes) have the capability of theming all application icons, including non-system apps?
Second question: Is there a way to make the theme only apply icons, and nothing else.
My goal is to create a theme that is just icons, due to the limitations of the theme chooser (my understanding is one can only have a single theme applied at once). This way someone could apply my icons, and then install a theme via flashing it, to have the best of both worlds.
Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't find an answer otherwise.

I Googled your question to find out that there's one theme in the play store that is a "cm9/aokp (previously cm7 theme)" they actually say they had to port it to cm9 (read the theme's info on play store), anyway the developer says that the icons come in a separate package -for the moment, IMHO and since these people have promised to have the third party apps in the coming weeks, then it is possible as long as there are people who have already been working on it.
Good luck.
Take a look at the Cobalt, Crimson Cobalt, and Purple Kush themes. They work really well and look good, they also theme 3rd party app icons (I noticed ES file explorer and Google Chrome were themed.) You can look through the apk to see the method of third party theming, i'm sure it isn't too hard with the theme chooser implemented.

TWRP App
It would also be cool if someone would make a TWRP theme app for building themes with the ability to supply templates for each resolution.
Recently I've been trying some roms on android. I've tried PA, Carbon, AOKP and my favorite so far, CM11. All of them have the Theme Engine from CM. But also of them also have the same 'issue'. Some features from the themes(like Icons and Wallpapers) sometimes aren't available. The only theme that I could use all of them so far was Flux. So, I'd like to know why, wether if the themes I choose don't have those features or those features aren't compatible. Thanks.

It's the themes you have that don't have all the features.
e.g. an icon pack would only show up in icons, wallpaper pack in wallpaper, font pack in font.. thought it wasn't that hard to figure out lol.

Oh, ok, thanks. It's that the screenshots for some themes also include a few things that aren't included in the theme itself.
Thanks for clearing that out;
Also, the pics may not be updated. It's not uncommon that an update has occurred but the dev didn't upload new screenshots.
