Android themes

Dear Fellows,
I'm new to CM and its just my second post, I'm kinda interested in making/modifying themes on android phones. I have some queries regarding this..
1. do i need to create a new project from scratch and build my own apk or
2. do i just decompress other's theme apk and change it way i like (is that legal or acc to rule of android, CM forums etc )
3. Can i sale themes on play store using second method ( i know they worked but if its possible, i wont do if its not or illigal)
thanx for your reply in advance

1. There are plenty guides on the Android Theme section. I have written up a updated guide to create themes from scratch with extra info on how to theme your interface. There are some that show you how to theme using pre-made apks
2. Yes you can as long it is not a paid theme. A free one then its fine, you just have to ask the original themer for permission. So they know you're using his/hers theme as a base.
3. Yes you can if you have permission

Nova 3 not working please help!

Thank you !

Most of the games doesn't support ART which is the default and only runtime on which Android L .. So its not gonna work until the developer make their apps and game art compatible ..
And we are not allowed to discuss about pirated apps and games on xda so you should remove/delete your thread.

First it is a warez, any kind of warez are not supported here.
Second, because it is a warez there is no guarantee it will work, support the dev please.
Third, you ran it on a developer preview firmware, some apps doesn't work with L yet, and it is expected since it is a developer preview release.

Filed to install compiled apk theme on lollipop 5.0.2

hello guys ,
like many of you I too have installed CyanogenMod 12 and as many of you sound a new developer of themes Android .
Until now I've developed a couple of themes for kitkat with Android studio and have them properly published on the play store .
A few days ago I started to compile and install my themes on lollipop after obviously made ​​the appropriate changes .
The theme seems to be installed but after about twenty seconds of installation I get this error :
Failed Install Theme
And the app disappears from the themes of CyanogenMod . Have any of you had a similar problem ?
The process of completing and signing the apk is the same in that lollipop in kitkat ?
Any suggestion is valuable ,
thanks for your attention ,

Question about paid themes.

Hello all- I recently found a Chinese forum for the Mate 7 and there was a post in which a guy posted the .hwt files for about 20 paid themes. I downloaded a few and put them in the themes folder but none of them work. I am assuming they are valid because there are lots of "thank you" replies.
Are there model specific themes (only for UL00, tl00, etc..) or can I assume that paid themes can only be used by the person who purchased them ?
Im trying to figure out if paid themes can actually be shared ?
Cheers, LL13- :good:

Never heard of that before. You're sure that you've placed them in your HwThemes folder, that you only have ONE HwThemes folder (check your phone memory AND your sdCard) and you've done a reboot of the phone after you transferred the files?
Sent from my SM-N910H using XDA Premium HD app

Yes placed in the correct folder. I even transferred a mixture of free and "paid" themes into my themes folder and the free themes show up fine, none of the "paid" themes show up at all.
I do think there may be some kind of restriction on these paid themes in that they can't be used on other mobiles or shared.

Could you post a link to the forum please?

Sorry mate I did not see your reply !!
The themes actually do work I was just expecting them to be in a specific order but I have so many themes on my phone they were just randomly spread amongst the others. Some of them are great but the download times from the Chinese site is fekkin slow.
Here's a direct link to the files !
