You can't install a theme without a Launcher

You'll need a CM ROM to use that, the clues in the title. Themes can be installed in a few ways and generally what they're for either in the title or the theme thread.

"themes can be installed in a few ways". Launcher themes, Theme Chooser, X-Themes, themed ROMS or themed apks, you'll need to read the threads for how to install each one/way.

Hello XDA, and my question is: ''How I can set default theme on CM9?'' :good:

No. What I mean is I am finishing up an new ICS ROM. And I want a different theme to boot into DEFAULT the first time it boots without the person to need to select it. Example: Sense4 Theme in Cyanogenmod's theme chooser. Have that one boot as default the first time after initial install of Custom ROM instead of System theme. "WHERE IS THAT SETTING LOCATED!" I Know how to choose a theme in theme chooser.

In CM7 you can choose the default theme by editing the build prop. Then when that CM7 rom is installed, that custom theme is used instead. There has to be a way in CM9 too. HELP I'm not making one for X10 but found this Post asking the same question I am asking. This answer would help alot of us Devs

How to replace Touchwiz icons?

Hi , I think stock icons of touchwiz launcher are very ugly, is there a method to replace them? Something like apply a theme. I have demolition v10 stock root deodex xell5.

there are many alternatives to change the stock icons
1. DO IT YOURSELF
decompile APK's and literally change lot of img inside
2. INSTALL A LAUNCHER
launchers like NovaLauncher, ADW, GoLauncher, etc support themes that are meant for their launcher
3. FLASH A ROM THAT SUPPORTS THEMES
ROMs that are AOKP/CyanogenMod based/AOSP/MIUI have lots of themes
if you are the android fanatic type, i suggest AOSP/AOKP/CM
if you think apple's icons look rather dashing, then i suggest grab MIUI
cheers!

Maybe I forgot to say that I prefer stay in stock deodexed rom with original touchwiz home launcher. So I think the only way is decompile apk... is apktool good for this?

Note 3 Neo Themes

Hey Guys,
I was able to successfully root my Note 3 Neo (N750) with help of Philz recovery (many thanks). After doing usual nandroid backups, Xposed and stuff.
I wanted to change look and feel of my phone. Since there are not many custom roms and most of the cool themes are for CM, I tried my hand at HKThemeManager to apply CM themes on stock samsung rom.
Did anyone had any success?
I would like to port themes to be compatible with stock firmware. Devs/seniors please point me in right direction.
Thanks,
Nikhil

I dont think it is possible to use CM theme in Stock Samsung. If you are using S5 launcher then google you will get some theme for it.
Ok. Although HKThemeManager allows using CM themes on stock roms, but I am not able to utilise it due to some kind of permission error. Any way I like stock rom on note 3neo due to features and functionality (it's so feature rich).
Any idea how to change caller id interface? (Not uci app pls)
I use mihome launcher and download themes from the launcher itself.

you can push the apk file of the launcher you have downloaded to /system/app
and delete the stock touchwizhome launcher in system/priv-app
to use the custom launcher as a stock launcher

Theme Store Themes
Hello. I talked with one of the devs on miui forum and he said official store themes will be added once stable version of miui 10 is published. Until then we can use the themes currently available. Yes, the error message does appear on most themes but they do apply giving us custom icons and wallpapers in most cases. Only the statusbar remains unmodified as it is different from miui 9. Hope this helps
I think its avaible when we get Stable Miui 10.
Stable MIUI 10 is out but no sign of compatible/error-free themes for it yet.
Go to miui forum.....and download thrm

but how to use them? importing/applying in theme app gives 3rd party theme error, and importing/applying in miui theme editor, miui changes to the default theme after some time.
To be precise I'm using masik rom........for this u can apply directly..........if u re on miui 10 beta then use theme editor from playstore and apply

Most of them aren't quite useful. Moments later your theme will be reset to default one

Hahaha, it's mi themer I guess. I use xiaomi.eu so no problem to apply 3rd party themes
Try the third party app called My Themer for Miui and download mtz themes from google, search the Final Casper mtz and you will find the download link and upload the mtz file into that My Themer app, then you can apply that theme and it will change the whole look, status bar too

Yes the stable version is out and no sign of changing.. the not bar is pure waste.
