What makes a theme work with one ROM and not another? Is it the framework-res.apk?
Just wondering because some people don't make themes for certain ROMs and I was wondering if there was a specific file/s that I can swap out to make it work on the 'unsupported' ROM.

Are there any themes available for the new zenherofx lite? ive looked everywhere and cant find any
You should be able to use almost any Sense 2.1-based theme... for example ones that work for Fresh, nfinitefx's stock ROM, etc. The only ones that will for sure not work are ones for darchdroid since it is AOSP based and not Sense. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
Yes, this is pretty much correct 8 or 9 times out of 10. Pay attention to which ROM the themes and mods say they are made for, cuz not all of them work on any ROM and may mess up your phone. Always nandroid backup before trying anything. Most of the ones for Fresh and DamageControl *should* work on nfinitefx45 ROMs, but aren't always guaranteed cuz of the differences in the frameworks.
Check out this 2.1 Catalog thread for a huge collection of themes, mods, etc.
I am running Perception 10.4, so how do I go about picking a theme? I know certain themes are certain phones so what do I look for when choosing a theme?
just make sure it is for certain build rom, for example, JPY, JPX, JS3.
you can go the themes thread to find a proper one; also you may ask the question in the corresponding rom dev thread.
Noob question here, or major brain fart...
I just installed a kitchen rom. and all things work pretty good. I want to install a theme on my SGS.
But i'm a bit confused as to what all the versions that themes are compatible on mean.
The base rom version i got was the ZSJPJ one. (I also have ZSJPK but i screwed up some apps so i went back to JPJ) i can always cook up another JPK one.
When i browse themes, i can't seem to find one that says it's made for JPJ. They all are made for different versions, and i'm coming to think i'm just missing something... For example a theme will say made for JPU/X/Y. Will that work with mine? Should i be trying the JVx ones? or the JSx ones?
Any insight would be appreciated...
JPx and JSx work fine.
JVx are fror Gingerbread (not the same framework).
okok, thanks. I was making sure... cause i dled one of the JPx ones and it caused some FC's when i booted up. Maybe it was just that theme.
Make a Wipe Dalvik cache after installing your new theme.
Im new to this whole rooting thing and im wondering what do i do now? How do i get the themes on my phone? Ive only used tethering so far so can someone tell me where to go and how do i go about getting the themes on my evo?
You need to flash a custom rom that supports theming - some themes are flashable zips while some roms support direct theming as part of the rom. CM7 has the Theme Chooser which uses apks that were made specifically for the Theme Chooser. MIUI has the Theme Manager which uses mtz files. I'm not sure if there are any Sense roms that include something similar. You cannot theme the stock rom as it is odexed. If you want to stay on stock then you can flash the rooted stock deodexed rom. There are a ton of great roms in the Evo Development forums, so head over there. If you have any further questions, post them in the Evo Q&A forum. Do your research first and only ask a question once you've read the stickies and any noob guides.
You need to start with a custom rom first, then you can figure out how to theme it.

HEY EVERYONE )) I WAS WONDERING THAT HOW MANY ROMS HAVE DIFFERENT THEMES....AND ROMS WHICH ALLOW FLASHING OF DIFFERENT THEMES BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE CHANGING THEMES......CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT THR LIST OF ROMS THAT SUPPORTS THEMES......PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Wow.
First go easy on the caps and the Smileys. Please.
Second most all custom ROMs will let you flash themes via cwm and cm7 based ROMs even use Theme Chooser to easily swap multiple themes.
Look in the Apps and themes forum for possibilities. Most all themes will list what ROMs they were made for or tested with.
Just....no more Smileys. Ok?
