Installing themes through Cyanogen Updater

This is a simple question, but I was unable to find an answer.
When installing a theme through CyanogenMod Updater, do I need to uninstall or revert back to the original theme before installing a new one? Or can I just install from theme to theme.
Thanks.

you would need to flash/reflash a copy of the original rom first, then reflash the theme that you want but you have to make sure that the theme is compatible with the rom your using.

Thanks...but I already figured it out.
I dont' need to reflash or anything, I just flash theme to theme with no problems.

Changed theme but some icons didn't change. Help!

Here's the background:
I was on Cyan 4.2.3.1 with Little Big Planet theme. Everything was perfect. Then I updated to Cyan 4.2.4 and no theme (theme wasn't updated yet), still everything worked OK, except some of the icons - the google apps ones - didn't change back to the standard icon. It retained the Little Big Planet icon. This was the gmail, youtube, maps, market, and gtalk icons.
Then I went to Cyan 4.2.5 and applied Buuf theme. I thought all the icons would change to Buuf's icons, but the google app icons still stayed at the standard icons.
How can I get Buuf's icons for these apps back? Thanks

I find that you always want to flash the original rom before applying the update to avoid these types of issues. In other words, don't go from a theme to a base rom and then to another theme. Just like you should not go from one theme to another theme before going back to base rom.

Yeah, the only thing is the google apps come from the HTC image rather than Cyanogen's ROM.
So my advice would be to reflash the HTC image, then Cyanogens ROM then your theme of choice, and do that every time you change theme.

Since I also have the maps with navigation, will I need to run those steps too before updating the theme?
One more question, should I wipe or go straight to reflashing the HTC image and cyanogen rom?

I would wipe first and flash the rom before doing the whole htc image deal.

Hmm... wiping and flashing just the base rom didn't work. I'm going to go try to wipe, flash htc image, and then flash rom again.

I ended up wiping, flashing the. HTC image, and then flaahing cyan. After that the icons went back to standard icons. No more Little Big Planet icons. So then I applied the Buuf theme and the icons stayed the standard icons, it didn't change to the Buuf look.
I've never had problems with any theme before this.
Is there a way to manually change these icons, or will the theme template do that?

Stock DI18 Theme Template For Themeing Stock/Non-Deodexed Rom

Stock DI18 Theme Template for the Samsung Epic 4g​
This is for the themers to work from as a base and for those who wish to theme the stock DI18 rom on the Epic without having to install a deodexed rom.
Credit goes out to Raiderep and Crake for getting the ball rolling, and DearmasFamily for altering the code to make it work correctly. Thanks D, hope you guys enjoy.
This file deletes all the *.odex in system and framework, while installing stock files that have been deodexed and zipaligned. Should run very efficient! Hope you guys enjoy!
Flash in clockworkmod recovery right over the stock rom.
Download:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9718693/Stock_DI18_Theme_Template.zip
Should be updating tomorrow with even more optimized stock files.

Just updated link, found 2 media hubs on my phone.

I made a deodexed stock DI18 ROM already a few weeks back for this purpose.

This isn't actually the same thing. For the average user to get their stock rom fully deodexed, you are correct. They can run your update zip, then place a theme on top of it. But for the themers, who are testing multiple themes, or the users who use more than one theme and switch back and forth, there is a huge difference. Let me give you an example. If I'm testing out my mayan theme and I want to flash the black hole. Lets say the mayan theme has the fonts changed and black hole doesn't (not true, just for sake of argument). I flash my theme template to reset the font and then I flash the black hole or have the font from the mayan theme bleed through to the black hole. At this point I'm not going to flash back to a entire stock theme and loose all my settings, I'm just going to flash the theme template to reset the framework files to stock. All settings, including your launcher, phone apps, etc will remain exactly as is when switching themes.

Updated. I was told by Zienzu that there is an issue with the Media Hub not recognizing file formats. I replaced the Media Hub and its services so they should be just fine now. If the problem persists, please notify me.
Looks like the first go round when I had 2 versions of the media hub in there, one was the fixed and one the broken. I deleted the fixed version out by mistake.

Lol this is not a theme, it deodexes the stock files on your phone from the phone. It has all the stock framework files sup you can flash this to wipe a theme off as well

Would it be possible to update this for EB13? or point me toward as to how to get a stock eb13 template? Is it the same as downloading the stock theme from the acs frozen rom addon? Thanks.

Not quite the theme template for SyndicateRom has been tweaked to work without carrierIQ plus there are a few other changes in it like reboot option, 3 images for the GPS rather than 2. Sorry for the delay on answering this question. I'm going to work on a stock EB13 theme template.

I dont know if you've started already or given up already on the EB13, but I was wonder if you were working on an EC05 stock theme yet?

Make sure everything is green in summary..And upload the two files SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk..
Download when its cooked..and install via CWM..
Always do a backup of your rom..

Following this method - does it add on to your ROM or does it install a fresh ROM with the theme in it?
I just tried Launcher7 - it adds a windows phone 7 home screen and app launcher (kind of nice for now)
Really don't like the dialer in GBX v10

white background
do any of these themes allow one to view emails black text on white background?

[THEME]Precision for Gingerbread from Vibrant. Still in heavy test stage

I am trying to make this compatible for other devices as well now. I know for a fact it works on Darkys ROM for Captivate so I think it may work on other gingerbread versions/Roms for the captivate as well. It has also been confirmed to work on i9000 jvp, jvq, and jvr gingerbread versions.
Flash it in Recovery. Always Backup first incase it causes any issues.

If Apps force close restore your back up, go into the theme zip and remove the apps that had problems then reflash the theme.
I do not have a Captivate, I am just going by what my testers have told me. So if you try it let me know how it goes.

Flashed over the top of the latest build of Serendipity VII.
Stuck in a bit of a weird bootloop.
- Booted up with the SVII boot screen.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to what seemed to be the TouchWiz screen with a few icons.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
- Booted to the GoLauncher screen I had, custom icons showed up.
- Rebooted by itself. Buzzed.
Keeps doing it endlessly so I am going to pop the battery out and try again.
Oh...When the screen does come up briefly I can see the theme's icons' in the status bar.

Restore ur backup. Then Go into the theme zip and delete settings and launcher apk. For some reason captivate doesn't like the sgs2 launcher. Then reflash it with those apk removed.

Are they gingerbread based? I dont have a captivate to test anything. But this theme might would work if they are gingerbread based.

you could install font changer donate version and install the font you want to use....not sure if it will work with the theme....but I use it for my Cappy on Mosaic VI and Laucher 7 Pro....I wanted the font from WP7 Segoe Light and was able to accompish that using Font Changer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchanger&feature=more_from_developer

I removed the font from the .zip file and that worked.
Not sure if that was the best way, but appears to have worked
thanks
