[Q] Can someone explain theme chooser for CM7

[Q] Can someone explain theme chooser for CM7 - myTouch 4G Themes and Apps

So i'm not sure how the Theme Chooser works. All the themes i've seen for CM7 are based off of the nightly build, so its not always kept up to date with the latest build.
Is it just because CM7 is still new and not in RC that themes are still being built with the whole ROM?

The theme Chooser is meant to give you options, you can change the look of CM7. They included 3 themes in there so far. Go in the market and type CM7 themes. You install them and they will automatically appear in theme Chooser. Try MAU5 OR HONEYBREAD, they look pretty clean! Reboot anfter choosing. You could also try theme mixer and flash it in recovery. They will always he making themes for this Rom as it is one of the most popular ones role usually run. Theme will be made during nightlies and I'm thinking even after the RC comes out. Hope this helps...

MIUI Fonts. Apply in Theme Manager.

Thought there were MIUI users like me who love to change the font but found lack of supply in MT4G's Themes and Apps forum. Here's the link to treasure island:

Some of the fonts I love are not included in there, so I decide to package them myself

Put the mtz into /sdcard/MIUI/theme and apply it in Theme Manager > Font
Happy Theming

Do you mean theme chooser in CM/AOSP roms? If yes, that's another story. To my understanding, those mtz packages cannot be applied by theme chooser. It can only be applied to theme manager in MIUI rom.
Try searching "theme chooser" in market. It should display some of the themes that applicable to 2.3 CM/AOSP roms.

Theme Chooser Themes?

Does the Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4 theme choose have any theme that i cud install and choose from the theme choose like CM7? cuz I can't find any and yes i did search for it.

Nope the theme chooser is not fully functional on WB or any other stock-based 2.3.3 rom.

[THEMES] Mioze7Ae's Unofficial CyanogenMod 6 (6.3.7) Theme Ports

Hi everyone,
Here are some ported themes to CM6.3.7's new framework. All themes here have been tested on the ODEX version, but should work on the deodexed version too. Flash in OpenRecovery and wipe dalvik-cache before rebooting!!!
Gingerbread
What's themed: Framework, Phone, Contacts.
Remember to set these in CyanogenMod settings:
CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Status bar->Clock color->#ffffffff
CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Date and provider->Date color->#ffffffff
CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Notifications colors->Notification ticker color->#ffffffff
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?h62ctff5xtynf2t
Revision History:
v1: Initial port. Menu popup has black text on black background, therefore unreadable.
v2: Menu popup has white text now
v3: Ported ring revamped lockscreen images from CM7.2, changed the custom app image on the lockscreen.
v4: Added Phone.apk
v5: Added Contacts.apk
GingerBlur
What's themed: Framework, Phone, Contacts.
Remember to set these in CyanogenMod settings:
CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Status bar->Clock color->#ffffffff
CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Date and provider->Date color->#ffffffff
CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Notifications colors->Notification ticker color->#ffffffff

Revision History:
v1: Initial Port. Most of it works off the bat!
v2: Ported lockscreen images from Droid X and Motoblur framework.
Ice Cream Sandwich
What's themed: Framework, Phone, Contacts
This took a little while as I had to play around with the drawable/*.xml and value/*.xml files to get the right effects in the original theme.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?5bkaa90r1pw3mpc
There are quite a few CyanogenMod settings that you need to set, so I've simply uploaded the theme.xml file I created:
View attachment 983442
Just rename it from ics.txt to ics.xml and place it in /sdcard/CMTheme. Then apply it through CyanogenMod Settings > User Interface > Tweaks extras > Select a theme
Revision History:
v1: Themed framework-res, Phone, Contacts. Modified horizontal progress bars, checkmark and radio button backgrounds.
ICE9 by jasonevil
All credit goes to jasonevil for his magnificent custom ICS theme, and thanks to him for letting me port it our phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327602
What's themed: Framework, Phone, Contacts.
Cherry picked ring lockscreen from CM7.2
Blue button text
A few cherry picked assets from the ICS for Milaq's CM6.3.5, since they were not present in this theme
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?pom8wcz64cltd8q
Please apply this CMTheme.xml in CyanogenMod settings to get the blue text in the notification area/status bar: View attachment 1005379
Revision History:
v1: Initial port. Lots of xml and .9 changes!
Undo.zip
All my themes push various apks and fonts to the system, so this undo zip just replaces any possible changed apks and fonts with the default ones from CM6. This just saves you the time and effort of reflashing CM6 entirely, in case you've done some mods to your system partition (like I do )
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?qvus5c1fczcvcfx
Revision History:
v1: Replaces all system fonts, framework-res.apk, Phone.apk, Contacts.apk
Themes that I want to port:

Androidian/Honeycomb - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948109

Oh man! Thanks a lot! With this CM6 of Mz is perfect in all side! Performance and Beauty!

Oh sweet ! Thanks man , this is great to have a thread with a collection of theme for cm6 . Would like to try the ics theme but for now , I'll try the gingerbread one first . FYI , DarkFroyo theme is coming
---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 AM ----------
Just a small suggestion , when you're porting ics theme to cm6 , maybe you can use this boot animation (cm9) , I'm currently running this as my boot animation .
---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------
Oops...help pls...I'm having a bootloop after flashing the gingerbread theme I wipe dalvik-cache > wipe cache > flash > wipe dalvik-cache > wipe cache > reboot , is there something wrong ? lol this is my first time having bootloop what should I do ?

Pull battery. Put battery back and power on, push and hold volume up key until you enter open recovery. Reflash CM 6.3.7&gapps, wipe dalvik-cache, reboot.

Glad you guys beat me to it! Lol. Looking forward to some themes! Thanks everybody!

Pls make one for odex version

Sorry guys! The one I uploaded was incorrect (blame my crappy organization of directory structure haha). I thought it was fishy b/c mine flashed just fine
Bear with me as I learn how to theme, this is only my second working one heh. It still has a few bugs to be ironed out (the most noticeable one is the menu).
Just to confirm, this is for the ODEX version. It's attached to this post. I'll try to update the OP!
Update: Please download v2, which has black text on menus fixed!

It looks like you're only theming framework-res.apk & since there is no .odex for that I think it should work on either the odexed or deodexed version. (I THINK)

I would love to do some theming too =) , is there any nice tutorial where I can learn about this ?

I updated the OP with v5 of the Gingerbread theme. I think it's pretty much complete now, unless there are outstanding issues. Please let me know how it is!
The ICS theme made for Milaq's CM6 is extremely slow for some reason...I'll play around with it some more this week.
An easier one to adapt first is GingerBlur...more on that later

I've added GingerBlur to the OP Check it out, and let me know if there are broken parts!
It's a nice change from black Gingerbread and ICS

Hi Molohov! Nice work! I'd like to suggest putting little numbers into the battery icons to show the battery percentage because its annoying not being able to see it (CM's font is too big for my liking). Oh, and do you have the CRT animation version of the odexed 6.3.7?

Which theme did you want the 10% battery icons on? It may require a metamorph script to do efficiently on all the themes.
I haven't compiled a CRT animation version of 6.3.7. The bug with the screen not turning off completely really frustrates me, but I haven't had time to really go in depth with it. I'll try compiling a version this weekend, just for you

Missing slide unlocker graphics
Hi molohov,
I am quite happy with your themes. btw, i noticed some of the slide unlock styles are missing (eg rotary) in gingerblur at least. I hope you can add it because it is my favorite. ^^
I hope we can have more themes.
By the way, this is too much to ask, but could you post some tutorial how to make a very simple theme. I was a theme creator on sony psp and released some of my works in public. This way i might be able to help creating more themes. thanks a lot.

I'll see if I can compile a quick and dirty theme porting guide this week.
Does anyone have sileshnair's old Gingerblur theme from these threads? My web sleuthing skills are particularly lacking today, or this is incredibly hard to find.

They probably have the lockscreen images that I need to port.

[Q] how to change default app icon ?

Is there any way for me to create a flashable zip perhaps, or anything which will change the default icons ?
I have the stock GB icons and i want the Faenza icons but i use the xperia s launcher, which does not support themes.

Which rom are you using now?(It may be lot more easy to answer if you let me know )
If you use CM7 or CM9 you can change icons through theme chooser-
In this case what you need to do is just build up APK that includes your icon pack.
For MIUI it's much easier to changes icons. Search for MIUI theme building on MIUI theme forums or here on XDA MIUI threads.
If you're using neither of above ROMs(like GingerBlur...based on Blur ROMs) it'd be bit more difficult-
There's two types of ROMs
-Deodexed ROMs are easy to change icons through CMW flash
-Odexed ROMs are hard to do it. You've got to deodex it beforehand
Some ROMs like Nottachtrix supports some themes so if you work on theme you should be able to do what you want.

I've tryed every MIUIv5 ROM I've found from AOSP's to stock based etc. Everytime doing full wipe. I can't see this theme ever in miui theme chooser
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392488&highlight=miui
When I click on it in file manager it says theme has missing assets or something like this. This theme is supported by miuiv5 but whatever miuiv5 I flash it cant see this theme. What should I do? Somebody has said that I should create theme folder in root>data>system but this folder already exists(same goes for internal>MIUI>theme). Why can't I see and apply this theme? Any clues?Can you help me and tell me how to get this theme working?
