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.

ok so my cyanogenmod 4.0.4
fireware 1.5
o.0 how do i install themes and stuff looking for a different look and yeah ...
i cant get my iphone back so i guess im sticking to this for awhile siiii smh wth was i thinking....
this is probably the most useful thing.
to install a theme flash it on top of your rom. if you can flash a rom, then you can flash a them, just make sure that your theme is made for the correct version of your rom, i.e. themexxxxx4.0.4 would not work for cm4.1.11.1.
Sorry if this question has been asked before. I did a search but could not find anything so it may be a matter of how I worded my search. I am currently running Cyanogen 4.2.5. I upgraded to CM4.2.7, but decided to go back to CM4.2.5 so that I could continue to use a theme that I really liked. So my question is, is it bad to go backwards with roms? I have found a theme that I really want to try, but it was created for a much older Cyanogen rom. It was actually created for CM4.0.4. Is this considered a bad thing with the G1? Mods feel free to move this thread if the Q&A section is the wrong place.
My specs
G1/Dream
CM4.2.5
NabzHero theme
Haykuro's Danger SPL
DRC83 build
Moving backwards as far as ROM's go isn't harmful if that's what you mean by "is it bad".
If the theme hasn't been updated since 4.0.4 it will not be compatible. The build has changed from the ground up since then.
Thanks for the quick reply. Let me make sure I understand you correctly. If the theme I found was made for Cyanogen 4.0.4 and I flash the Cyanogen 4.0.4 Rom it still wont work because the build is different? By build do you mean the fact that I'm on DRC83 is the reason it wont work?
Thanks
Contact the maker of the theme and ask them to remake it as a Metamorph theme. Then it should be good forever.
I liked NabzHero too, but updates were kinda non existent. Enoch is similar, updates with in hours of the new CM version and is available via the CM updater.
Wish Enoch would change the tab for the drawer though...I don't like the way it looks.
Off to pm Enoch...
Simple answer: No, it's not harmful, bad, or wrong to go back and use an older version of a ROM. But, if you're using an old ROM, don't be surprised if something you find here that says it works on Cyanogen won't work--it may be intended only for the latest version.
The build is fundamentally different since 4.0.4, but you can still go back and use it. But, you may have to do a wipe from recovery before you flash it. Just try flashing 4.0.4 over 4.2.7.1, and if you get errors, reboot recovery, do a full wipe, and flash 4.0.4 again.
Hey guys so ive got one of the Rogers dream phones,.I was wondering if it is possible to flash one of the themes (meteamorph)? The reason I ask is that these phones are EBI1 not EBI0 like the tmobile ones.
Being ebi1 makes it so that not everything is compatible, an example of this is the cyanogen rom, it is not compatible with out a special kernel for our phones.
Once again, are the metamorphosis themes compatible with our ebi1 phones?
I am in the exact same boat lol my provider is fido and I use the latest cyanogen on my rooted ebi1 rogers dream I jus thought that this was a funny coincidence oh and obviously I'm in canada ps . I reall would like it if brian the god who makes our cyanogen port files, ported the 10mb ram hack
Themes are all good. I've used the ones from the cm updater with no issues. I also tried some meteamorphs a while ago with no issues. I think there is an issue with meteamorph on the latest cyanogen thoe. not 100% sure
To the first poster, yeah that would be great because we can't get dwangs fast rom on ebi1. Do you know if anyone has asked him to port it?

Where can I get cm updater from? I didn't find it on the market. And am I correct in thinking that the cm updater does more than just update cyanogen roms?
EDIT ive found it and see that it can update the cm aswell as use themes. I still need an answer to my post after this one.
I am wondering if it is safe to use cm updater to update our phones because we require the special kernal to use cm. Do we need to apply a kernal everytime, does it do it for us, or do we do it ourselves. (This is regarding updating the cm itself not the theme)
Hey guys, so I am still waiting for a response regarding my above post but in addition I would like to say that I now have a theme using cm updater. I downloased the first one in the recommened list. I was wondering what the difference between advance and regular launcher. There where two options for this theme one with regular other with advanced. I chose regular because I don't know what a lanucher is.
i have heard that people have asked him but he hasnet responded with a definitive answer

You just need to add the bcrook Kernel as a theme. Follow the directions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592377
To Update:
1. Themes > Menu > Check Now
2. Select the newest bc-ebi1 file from the theme section
3. Click on it and download it, choose Apply Later when finished.
4. Download the newest Cyanogen ROM from the ROM section. Choose Apply Now.
This will reboot to recovery and flash the newest cyanogenmod. Then apply the previously downloaded port file.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the link andanswer, that will come in handy.
Another question I have is what's the difference between advanced and regular launcher?
You can look at the thread for advanced laucher and see the differences. Folders, change the number of home screens and more.
hmm i have a rogers dream and ive never had problems with themes, cm updater or anything. also ive never had to install any "special" kernel for any rom ive put on my phone.
im pretty sure i used the "rogers one touch root" guide in the dev forum when i originally rooted my phone.
is there a difference between the old and new rogers dreams? or are all this ebi1??
I use the enoch theme and it works great and looks even better. I think that most roms don't touch the kernel so they should be fine.

There is a difference but it isn't with the radio (ebi1 vs ebi0) its with the spl. It just requires the one click root to get around. You must have used haykuro's method to root which switches your radio to EBI0 making it compatible with any rom for the G1.

ahh makes sense, i used haykuro's method. thanks for the clarification.
hey i am using the binary something theme. When on the old Cyanogen rom it had the same theme but with the lockscreen, when updating to the latest CM rom i dont see the lock screen version anymore. (i am using CM updater)
Ok so I am now using the enoch theme, I like the blue accent and the transparent design to show more background. One thing that I miss is the lock screen, CM updater doesn't show any option for installing a enoch lockscreen. Is there any way to get a lockscreen? Also can I use any lockscreen even if it is not enoch? (Cm updater shows no lockscreens anyway)
Does the latest CM rom 12.2 not support any lockscreens yet? Or do I just need to add more sorces for themes in cm updater? If so could someone guide me into doing that.
could someone please answer as to can I use any lockscreen? and how can i get this done with cm updater?
I am new, and have rooted my Hero and am wondering how i would go about installing the themes that i see located in the forum?
Thank ya in advance!!
Themes are usually specific per custom ROM. Since you're just rooted, I'm guessing you haven't flashed a custom ROM yet? If you have, the theme should say specifically what ROM it's for.
I see the popular ones here seem to be fresh, pure hero and the one i want to install with the theme is ALosyius 2.1 so i am seeing that i need to wipe before i install the new ROM with the theme
How do i go about wiping?
Also the original ROM that installed was by regaw, but i don't see a specific name for the ROM
Had too many questions so I posted them all here:

check the thread where the theme was downloaded.
there are a million issues when applying themes to darkys ROMs. i have experienced this many times.
the problem is the ROM takes up to much space under /system / data ( i think ) and you have to remove certain things from that folder in order for the theme to successfully apply itself.
Some work 1st time, some dont work at all.
Thanks for the reply.
Is that so? What would be the best ROM for applying themes if that's the case? All I read and hear is Darky's ROM this Darky's ROM that so I went for that instead.
I think I found the problem - I didn't have CWM installed... We'll see how it goes.
Oh right, well now you have CWM try again and see how it goes.
if you wanna change ROM i suggest making your own at www.romkitchen.org << fantastic place for customising ROMs to your own liking.
i failed again, i don't know what im doing wrong! hahaha.
i made a new thread cause i had too many questions.
All you hear is darky rom this darky rom that is not from this forum . Its just one of many .Read the posts in development section for a flavour of roms .
Bit like saying we all know MacDonald's therefore its the best food in the world .
jje
haha you have made a new thread and no body has replied.
you would of been better off sticking to this one.
I've had to reinstall 2.3.3 using ODIN four times now... What do you two suggest I do when it comes to choosing roms? I'm sick of having to reinstall every time I get the bootloop cause the installation of a theme went wrong.
2 options man..
Stop flashing the theme, or try another rom.
Easy as that
I don't try the same theme every single time, there's only one theme I've been able to flash and it was ugly as shet.
Any rom recommendations?
Is your current ROM 'De-odexed' Meaning, is your ROM a custom ROM or a stock ROM
I believe it may be de-odexed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
Darky's rom v10 RC4
yea it will be de-odexed.
try another ROM.
www.romkitchen.org
I've decided to reinstall Darky's ROM. I just read somewhere that it may be in the bootloop cause of the bootanimation.zip or something and that if I delete that it'll get out of the bootloop? I got out of the thread, I forget where it is
/system / media bootanimation.zip
