CM 12.1 Sultanxda's ROM "Theme failed to install" - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I recently did a clean install of sultanxda's CM12.1 ROM running version 12.1-YOG7D-20151220-STABLE-Sultan-bacon and I'm having a problem where most themes I try to install don't work, they just uninstall themselves and I get a notification saying "(Name of theme) failed to install." For some reason, certain themes work and certain ones don't, and I don't know what makes them that way. For example the Aquamarine theme from the play store works but the PitchBlack one does not, and the Smartfren theme from the CyanogenOS Theme store works but the Hexo theme does not. I've done things such as rebooting and wiping dalvik/cache to no avail. This problem is getting pretty annoying so any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] unable to install CM themes

today I stumbled upon a funny error: I'm able to install any app (unknown sorces too) but I can't install CM themes. I tried with L android theme and flux from play store and herathon (apk) from xda. Nothing. When I try from playstore it does give me "error -401" but I can't found anything related, so i just ask you. It's no big deal, I'm just curious.
I'm running on cm milestone 8 and I ran an fsck but there were no errors. Anyone has any idea?

If you're using [MOD] [NEXUS 5] Dalvik+bionic library optimization - Flashable, then see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54143201&postcount=2221
If you're not then I don't think there is anything you can do apart from wiping then clean flashing and it'll probably solve your problem.
Thanks very much. Now how do I replace such installd? In what folder is it (and is it in the rom or in the apk?). CM really like to screw up everything everytime.

Go into your ROM's original flashable zip and take out /system/bin/installd then go into your flashable Dalvik and paste it in the same place to replace it. Then flash the Dalvik zip.

A problem applying a theme

Hi,
I've been trying to apply a new theme on my OPO, and everything works great except the quick settings background, which keeps being all-black.
It happens with all kind of themes.
I have the latest version of blisspop rom so far (V3.9 30.8).
When I did a full wipe and re-flashed the rom the problem was solved, but I don't want to lose all my data and start all over again..
So I assume the source of the problem maybe some data or wrong setting optimizations.
the rom's white/dark theme option doesn't change the problem.
I also have Xposed installed on my device, if that affects somehow....
Please help!

which ROM has started for 6.0

Dont know which ROM starts to dev the 6.0 base one.
Hope to test and enjoy it.
Thx.
Apparently this one but I'm sure a lot of others are trying as well.
It's only been out for a short while so you have to give developers time to do this sort of stuff, I'm sure they have other important stuff to do.

It's 5.1.1 instead of 6.0, I've tried and replaced it immediately ... Finally I found and installed 6.0 but not from this one. The file was aosp_bacon-ota-eng.hamster.zip but I have to find the gapps ex Nexus 4.
Running aosp_bacon-ota-eng.hamster.zip now as primairy on multirom (TWRP). Moved CM 12.1 nightly to secondairy. Had some difficulties with installing Gapps (mm) in TWRP, but Slim_zero_Gapps beta for 6.0 installed just fine. Supersu 2.52 beta too. I find it pretty smooth for a experimental version. I replaced launcher with latest Nova launcher. Not working: Xposed framework, Titanium Backup Pro, Double tap to wake-up, and advanced reboot menu. I don't use themes so no clue on that one. Muzei is fine for me. Stock camera gives error when closing, but other camera's work fine. No issues with gallery.

Can't install most of the themes after update

I flashed my oneplus one phone to the latest release of cm (yog7dao1k6). However, now I can't install most of the themes in the app store. The themes will show that it was successfly installed, will appear on the theme engine for 2 seconds and the dissaper giving the error: "Failed to install theme". Anyone faced this issue? and what did you do to solve it?
Note: I wiped (factory reset) and flashed the rom and G-apps myself.
first, you post on wrong section, this should be on Q&A section
second, have you try to clear the data
third, if you have try it done with no success, try to wipe cache n davlik from recovery
hope it help

Reboot your phone and install the themes again. Then they won't disappear..

There was an issue with certain version of deskclock apk. Delete that from system apps ( warning you won't have any clock app, so if your alarm doesn't ring its on you) and try installing theme again.
Usually you can see the error in the logs. If it's not the clock app, then it might be some other app. Provide logs to get better help.

Themes for trebuchet

Hi, I have the ROM lineage 16 and I installed substratum to see if I put a different theme to trebuchet, but frankly I'm not really understanding it, I made some changes, but I don't see any changes. In fact, it is not clear to me how to use it, I will try again. Once there were no themes on cyanogenmod that were installed by recovery? Is there nothing like that anymore?
