1. Go to the theme thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=707
2. Select a theme and download.
3. Most of the themes are CWM installable. So, reboot to CWM recovery mode.
4. Choose zip from SD card and install.
5. Reboot device and VOILA!

Might want to ensure compatibility with your rom first...but other than that....follow previously stated instructions

[Q] guide needed to install theme on Darky's rom

Hello All,
I tried to install the “(VALLE-MOD)HoneyComb theme v.1.1!! MAJOR UPDATE with some minor fixes!”
From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958788
And the “[THEME]Generation X - V2.0 CYAN&HARD-BLUE ADDED - JPU/X/Y/JS3 - 4LOCK [04-02-11]________________________________________
From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898892
I start the phone in the recovery mode (CWR) and tried to apply the “Install from zip file”
I receive notification that the THEME was installed successfully but when I reboot the phone it stuck with the Galaxy icon.
And I have to apply the rom again.
I saw the application Z4control that can install theme with this app but I couldn’t find where to download or how to install it.
Can any one send me detailed guide how to install theme or how to install the z4control
Thanks in advance

I have the Generation X - V2.0 RED installed on my galaxy S using Darky's ROM and itt works fine.
This is how I install mine:
1. Install Darky's config app from the market and set your preferences. I use voodoo kernel + no modem install + all the other options.
2. Reboot in recovery and install the room from the zip
3. Reboot the phone and let it do it's thing to configure the room.
4. Unlock your SIM and make sure the phone works with the ROM
5. If all is well reboot in recovery and install the theme from the zip
6. Reboot and enjoy.
Now some questions, based on your symptoms sounds like a ROM issue and not a theme issue. Did your phone boot OK after you installed darky's ?
Also what model do you have I9000, I9000-M, T959, T959-D, etc .. ?
Hi Rebbinio,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I ibstall the rom, boot the phone, use darky's configuration tool, every things works.
Now i boot to cwr and applied the theme, everything goes fine but the phone won't boot.
I think i did everything you did except from uninstallung the modem and my phone was unlocked so....
I don't know, someone told me i should delete the framework.jar from the thene????,
Why did you click on "Update from zip"? ...
if you are on Darky´s ROM you just put the Theme on the INTERNAL SD Card... Reboot to recovery and flash it
HowTo:
Reboot to recovery
choose "Install zip from sdcard"
choose "zip from sdcard"
Look for the theme and click on it
Then scroll down to YES
Go back
REBOOT
The theme should now be installed and everything should be working

Maybe you can try backup and then delete "bootanimation.zip" from system/menu using root explorer first. Then try flash the theme again. If after the flash you got stock bootanimation galaxy s, don't worry just paste back the bootanimation.zip or you can flash other bootanimation.zip thru CWM. That is what I did when I flash Honeycom theme on Darky 9.3 beta3 ROM. And of course give them sometime to reboot. Hope you make it.
the same probleme please help

i had the cyborgv6 rom its nice. as a cyborg rom to install should be like this:
First if you want make a back up with for ex. Titanium backup or something else.
1. if you dont have xrecovery or CWM recovery search and find them and install one of them. see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974527 or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881614
2. download the stock kernel rom and put it on sd card.
3. Reboot to xRecovery (click back button on ericsson logo)/ ClockWorkMod(touch the screen instead of click)
4. Factory Reset (Full wipe) ------> For new users who want to this rom.
5. Install custom zip
6. Choose zip from sdcard
7. Find your zip file, and flash it.
(* If you have any bugs, try full-wipe.) For first time installing CyBorg users, DO FULL WIPE, or you will stuck at the se white logo!!
8. reboot

Are the instructions work the same? cause they have there a whole lot of files (Alfs Kernel Lastest v08a?)
same process! if you are in stock kernel(settings-about phone if its semc) just download only "Stock version rom in Attach Files " and follow the instructions
if i helped press, you know...

which of the files for download there is the rom? and how do I install the other files?
in the page you gave go to:
{
Downloaded:
LX v.0.11c(Alfs) LX v.0.11(Stock)
LXv0.10-Alfs LXv0.10-Stock
LX V11 GOOGLE APPS LX V11(ALFS)LX V11(STOCK)
LX XG!N V8(Stock)
LX V10(alfs)LX V10 (Stock)
}
LX v.0.11(Stock) THIS is the ROM for stock kernel just download it
the attached files (SensorPatch.zip ...) you can download them IF you want to make it better
by same procedure as to install, "put them on sd card-go to recovery - install custom zip-Find your zip file, and flash it-reboot" but not make Factory Reset (Full wipe) its unnecessary.
By the way on instructions i gave, from the step 4 till 8 are in the recovery. to go there follow the step 3 "Reboot and go to xRecovery by (click back button on ericsson logo) or on ClockWorkMod(touch the screen when you see ericsson logo)" you must have one of them if you already have a custom rom installed "GingerCruzt"

Help, please: Boot loop during Cyanogenmod zip install

Hello,
I'm not gonna panic, as I think Ive not bricked my phone YET.
Here is what I have done, I have a GALAXY S I9000.
Have been using it for quite some time now. 2 years ago, I have flashed it with - hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery - using Odin.
Today I decided to give Cyanogenmod a go, followed the steps here. - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
Since I have the hardoce's kernel, I skipped this Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery - and moved on to - Flashing CyanogenMod.
I will go step by step from here.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the internal memory also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
done these, no problem so far.
[*]Select Choose zip from sdcard.
when I chose this, phone rebooted, it was so fast something may have come up and I didnt see.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop:
- Galaxy S I9000 samsung screen comes up, goes away for a second, comes up again.
- A page with code appearing from the bottom comes up really fast ( logo in the middle changes quickly) then it disappears.
- whole thing starts again.
UPDATE: I got a picture of the fast screen that comes up. : http://localhostr.com/files/b5NzFRy/2012-08-27 05.07.32.jpg
Some observations.
- I can go into download mode when opening it with the key combo.
- loop only stops when I unplug the battery
I need advice on what caused this and how to fix this, please help me.

are you not able to get into recovery? If only download than you need to get back to GB and than do a progressive update from GB to ICS to JB
Flash it again. From what I've heard, it only flashes the kernel the first time.
I had the same problem today with CM7 today. Just reboot in recovery and flash again cm zip, form there on everything is gonna run smooth!

I think this pb is very common
1) DON'T WORRY !
2) Unplug the battery when bootlooping
3) Put the SGS in Recovery Mode (the CWM's version has changed)
4) Select the CM .zip and flash it AGAIN
5) When it's done, reboot system
This time, everything shoot be OK
Just be carefull with your IMEI (always have a backup of EFS folder !)

Anyone have a trick yet for CM 10.1 v.22 Nightly, I keep getting a bootloop on all their versions except the original one. This is so frustrating because I have to keep going back to stock and then update to ICS.

Same here, after the Samsung and CM logos, and splash animation, it says :
"Encryption unsuccessful.
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset...."
After I tap Reset phone, it goes to CWM recovery.
Do the factory reset and the same thing occured in loop.
I came from JVU and CF root.

How long should the first boot take after following these steps? And does it have to be from SDCARD, because I can't get the rom onto my sd card, I can only do it via usb otg cable

If you have TWRP recovery installed, then reboot to recovery mode. Then goto
1. Advanced
2. File manager
3. Follow the path
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]/data/system/[/COLOR][/B]
4. Delete the "theme" folder
5. Reboot your device.
If it's not working then again goto recovery and repeat the process 1 and 2.
Next follow the path
Code:
[B][COLOR="red"]/data/app/[/COLOR][/B]
4. Delete the corresponding theme folder. Check play store link of that theme to find the developer or package name for the specific theme pack.
5. Reboot your device.
I don't have CWM installed, but the process is pretty much same. It has Aroma File Manager inbuilt.
Oh,such a good methon!!
