try rebooting before you install the theme.
Make sure the theme is compatible with the version of cyanogenmod. Different version of cyanogen require different versions of the theme.
Next time this happens do post a logcat, at it will be much easier to pinpoint the issue. Both of the above posts hint towards two very common causes of the black screen. Try what they suggested, and run a logcat while the phone is booting: Plug the phone into the computer, and assuming you have adb installed, enter the following into your phones terminal
Code:
adb logcat

yes the theme is 100% compatible with my version of cyano.. (4.2.12.2)
my friend, the boy who made this theme, tried it on his phone and it works perfectly!! (same thing happens with other themes)
i've tried also rebooting before i install the theme.. nothing changed
@cloverdale: ok im trying logcat, 1st with cyano and a 2nd with theme installed..
edit: i dont know why but after reinstalling the theme the phone doesnt start.. i've tried 3times.. the funny thing is that when i do fix_permissions there arent any errors.. insted i know that it must return some errors message like no such file or directory.. it doesnt happen..
yesterday when i tried it, i red this error and now no.. bha.. :/
guys i've installed the new cyano, 4.2.13 ..
im sorry but i cant upload file bigger than 19 kb.. so i should write it here..
but the text is too long so i cant..
when cyano starts normally i can see the desktop..
when i install every themes, i cant see the desktop -.-
yesterday, with old cyano (4.2.12.2), i tried to replace:
mms.apk contacts.apk launcher.apk phone.apk settings.apk HTC_ime.apk alarmclock.apk camera.apk music.apk
after rebooting there was that problem.. NO DESKTOP!!..
please help me i cant install any theme and i dont know why..
i've also tried to reinstall android 1.6 then cyano.. i still have changed the recovery from cyano to 'RA..
are you using a update.zip theme or metamorph? try wipe
i dont use metamorph, just put my zip in root of sd, then "apply any zip from sd".. i used cyano's recovery and amon ra.
yes i wipe.. everything!! also the dalvik cache.. reinstalled android 1.6 yet!
i think is fix_permission that doesnt work.. 'cos if i replace phone.apk and others with the one of the themes..
black screen!
but i use advanced launcher (the one black) and alarmclock of other themes and i havent any problem..
up..
does anybody know how to solve??
i was reading this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604294&page=1
the trouble is the same but he solved changing rom.. i dont want leave cyanogen's rom
Try this (This works for me when I'm having trouble):
Whenever you flash anything, boot into it, then reboot.
So flash CyanogenMOD, boot into it (meaning choose Reboot in recovery), everything looks good? reboot.
flash w/e theme you want, boot into it, if everything's fine, reboot.
flash stericson lock screen (if you want), boot, reboot.. etc etc.
So you flash your zips sequentially (ROM, then theme, then ALauncher/Stericson Lock), with a Reboot from Recovery between flashes.
You get the point. Hope this helps.

errr.. lol. You don't wipe after flashing cyanogenMOD successfully. After it boots correctly, and you're happy, you go back to the Recovery mode, and you flash the theme OVER cyanogenMOD without wiping (you already wiped once to flash cyanogenMOD, you don't wipe again to install a theme).

Great, glad you're having fun . Don't forget to check out the Dark Star theme, it's win .
Author of Enoch here,
Just wanted to point out that there are a number of users having problems with this in my thread. Some have been using it for a while - but from what I can see here, it extends to other themes as well. From looking at the logcats I've been sent, it seems either a PUID mismatch issue, or a permissions issue.
However, a few users have tried that to no avail. Many other users seem to be able to install the theme with no problem, but a select few get this exact error. Something is not letting home load at all.
I've recently installed metamorph, and installed the red theme, but some of the icons, signal bar, ev-do, etc are still gray, dunno if they werent themed or what, so i tried to install a different theme, and it goes through all the motions, but nothing happens, even after a reboot, still red theme. Also, metamorph pops up it needs to reboot dialog box, an i keep clicking yes an it says rebooting.. then pops back up an says the same thing, so i eventually just have to power the phone down myself.
Anyways, is there a stock htc hero theme file I can download to get back to normal or do I need to do a nandroid backup restore? Also I read somewhere that if you didn't have a enough room on your system partition a theme might not install properly? Thanks for the help.
i would uninstall metamorph, and then apply your update.zip again.
yeah i've done that a few times, same results.

sounds like you may have to wipe, and flash your current ROM again.
i have the cursorsense rom and If i can have the dafault hero theme it would be great!
Hello,
I am hoping somebody can give me a little advice on my issue.
I updated to the OTA 2.2 via the full SBF file, i then rooted using the one click root. I then installed the 928 black glass theme that deodex's at the same time.
Everything was running fine. I them wanted to change some of the icons by modifying the framework file. I booted into recovery and created a back up before attempting to change the framework file. I them made the changes to the icons i wanted to in the framework file. a sent it back to the phone via ADB. However the phone was stuck in a boot loop. I then pulled the battery and it rebooted into recovery. I selected my backup and it started to load. The problem is it gets to where it says "Restoring Data" and it just hangs there. I let it sit at that point for over 20 min with no change. I also have tried to go into the advance recovery and just restore the data file on its own, but it also freezes.
Anyone know what might be the issue here?
Thanks
Having a problem on my wildfire after installing MEIZU v8.0 MDPI/HDPI for CM7... my screen is all black and get the status bar only, cant do anything, cant change to another theme and cant get into astro to uninstall or anything also wont connect via usb so i can try fix it that way can someone please help or have any ideas how i can change from this back to another theme? i just managed to connect via usb and deleted the apk but the problem is still there once i can select settings its all black apart from the status bar, im starting to get scared
You can solve it by flashing the same rom on top of the previous one, but wipe only the cache.
I don't know if it will work for the Wildfire, but my Hero doesn't lose any data when I flash the same rom over the old one.
Whenever a CM 12 theme misbehaves after installing where you cant access other things on the phone apart from constant popups of applications closing and misbehaving, what is the right solution in such a scenario to get back to normal working of phone ,
I have read something regarding deleting a folder from TWRP which resets the theme,
If anybody knows any solution apart from installing the ROM again.
Thank you in advance..

reflash your rom, dirty(not wiping anything).

That actually won't help as the theme would still be installed and applied. You should be able to delete the theme apk from the file manager in TWRP though. Haven't tried it myself but that should make the theme engine default back to system theme.
Reboot to safe mode.. Atleast you can do that as the reboot menu appears on top of everything regardless what's going on the inside..
Just reapply stock theme..
And reboot..
