You need to create nandroid backup (in recovery) before to install theme. So u will be able to do nandroid restore in case u dont like them or get some issues using it.

Make sure the theme your installing is compatible with the rom you are using. Or else you might get a bootloop, or like hawst said, some issues, like distortions in the UI of the rom.
And indeed make a backup, if you don't like to wipe and reinstall, like i always do, love to wipe. its part of my life :O

thank u!
thank you guys! the info was really valuable.

If the theme says you have to use ahome or something, then yes you do, but ones like mine, which are MetaMorphs, you just apply them via the MetaMorph app and it makes it perm on your phone. Other types of themes are flash updates, again, making it perm on your phone. Major diff on MM and flash themes are MM only affects the pngs, where flash updates changes the whole apk so you could lose custom stuff you did to it before.
Just make sure you NAND before applying anything just on the off chance you dont like it or it messes your phone up.
I cant find many themes for metamorph any suggestions where to find?

[Q] How to install and uninstall themes?

Guys i m using DARKYS v8.0 rom...
i have seen themes in themes and apps section?
See how to load the themes ///////
and by chance if i dont like that theme...........
How can i come to back default darky theme given by the rom/?
THis is very big doubt for me??
Plz reply guyz?
and sry for my bad english!
Darky's using R64's theme i guess. Most of the themes can flash to your device via CWM. Just get the theme zip archive and flash it via odin or CWM. If you want to get the defaulut theme on darky's rom, flash the R64's latest theme. hope i said everything correctly. if not, correct me
yeah thanks for the above information ..........
and can u tell me with ease how to install that WP7 theme and please tell how
to remove that completely if i dont lyk it//////////
Thanks in advance

Depends on what rom you are using like CM5, CM6.1, CM7, etc..
So find what version you have and do a nandroid backup..move the .zip to your sd card and flash it through clockwork
Go get MIUI rom, the most easy to have custom theme.
tried that

do you meen the ADW Launcher that is on the market ?
Just search the market for ADW Launcher EX, it costs €2,50 though...
I've tried out AWD Launcher EX 1.21 but I think I'm gonna stick with Go-Launcher, it isn't as ajustable as AWD, but the app-drawer is just great! The Go-Launcher app-drawer has 3 tabs, one for all the installed apps, one for all the recently opened apps (like history on a browser) and one for the curently running apps. So its got an easy accesible build-in task-manager. Very useful!
What do you mean nandroid? As in the backup feature on clockwork?

Yeah.

[UPDATED] Working ICS Style Transition Animations for CM7

Hi,
This is for those who are crazy about Ice Cream Sandwich and love the transitions animations of Ice Cream Sandwich Rom. You will also get a ICS like lock screen, similar to the one in Music Edition Rom.
Please Make a Nandroid Backup Before Trying This.
Disclaimer:- I'm in No way responsible for any damage to your device. Do it at Your Own Risk!
This one is an update flashable zip and works well. So, check it out....
Follow these steps:
1. Download the File http://www.multiupload.com/U31C8UJ4HB
2. Copy it to the root (/) of your sdcard.
3. Go to CWM Recovery.
4. Choose Install Zip from SD>>Choose Zip From SDcard option and then select the ics transition.zip from sdcard and press Home button.
5. Wait till it finishes flashing the zip.
6. Reboot after done.
7. And that's it! You have cool transitions animations from Ice Cream Sandwich.
Note: It is not an ICS launcher neither it is a theme of ICS icon pack collections. It only has transitions animations from ICS.
I don't guarantee if it works. So, try and see for yourself! Don't Forget to Thank me if you like it.
UPDATED VERSION...
THANKS to crazy_k_p for his help to make this working. You can try his cm7 modded rom Music Edition here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329551 . New Version v1.1 is released today.

Lol, happens....
Best to push the framework in recovery and change permissions.
Even better if u use a flashable zip.
Now u can either do a nand restore or if u have backed up ur original framework push it.
Btw
@yagya
What change did u do? I can decompile and take a look only after I return to earth.

I just added some transitions animations that I found somewhere in xda and followed the tutorial to make one for Galaxy mini too. But, it seems like it doesn't work.
Thanks! For those who have tried it... And Sorry it didn't work. Just restore your Backup and your device should be working. If you guyz want I can try to make it again though.
U didn't check it on urs huh!

I pushed it to /system/framework and my phone was working fine --though I couldn't notice much diffrence with the animations. I thought it was because I was not used to such tweaks and noticing differences but, now I think it was not pushed at all. I guess I should try again. Will rebuild and try it again --maybe tomorrow.
I Tried to make one again and tried it on my phone... But, it always gives force closes. So, I guess either it is not in my hands to make such stuffs or the ICS transitions are not compatible with our mini...
YOU ARE RECOMMENDED NOT TO TRY THE ABOVE ON YOUR PHONE.
If you want do a nandroid backup first, but it is sure not to work.
Thanks to those who tried it.
Then it's best if u remove it and give link to the source, from where u got this. At least ppl who want to try it by themselves can have a go...like me.

I don't think it's a stolen idea. When my friend bought a Lumia 710 I tried making my phone look like WP7 too. And that was probably before your ROM was announced.
