I have been working on getting themes to work on this tablet, and I have gotten past getting the app, but not actual themes. No themes show in the app (themes wallpapers icons) i have tried changing it to a lower DPI, same thing, however if you go into Wallpaper in settings you get the downloaded option, I am trying to figure out how to make them work

Hi... Am sorry to bother you guys... Its been a week that I rooted my wildfire and have it running on CM7...
The problem is...
Hope the hell in the world do I get themes installed with the default wallpaper and layout...
please help. Am new out here...
And have been trying to get some solution for the themes.

More information is needed as to "default wallpaper and layout" ? as CM7 for Wildfire originally has a Theme Manager supplied with a few themes for you to change it. For more information on choosing the right theme or applying your desired themer, you may refer to this link:

No theme can change the layout of your phone. Initially, I was under the impression (and still am) that the themes cannot change your wallpaper as well, but there are a few posts which state that themes can change the wallpaper. (Yet to see it myself though - But, I am very sure on the layout part)
Besides, theme choosers use a lot of 3rd party apps like clock / weather widgets, minimalistic text etc to get their desired layout that best suits the theme. If you don't have these installed, how can it work?
Hey Thank you Xeno for your reply...
What you said makes sense...
But the question I would want to ask if, if a theme is download on the phone... Is it not supposed to load the wallpapers, clock, calender, etc. on it own?
I am sorry, I might sound to be a dumb A** but am new here and EAGER to learn.
I purchased a few themes thinking they would be fully loaded but to my surprise they werent.
For E.g.:
I Purchased the MattedBlues LauncherPro Theme from the market.
A pop-up came saying 'Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your devices screen size'.
From what I have read, I selected CONTINUE ANYWAY and Rebooted!
And all it changed was just the COLOR for Icons. Rest all remained the same, I mean the wallpaper, layout, icons...
Is there is a beginners guide I need to refer to for CM7?
Thank you in advance Buddy...
It's a LP theme buddy. If you needed the entire thing, you should have purchased the Theme Chooser Theme for CM7 (Which I have - And, it's fantastic, may I add ). And no, no theme can change the layout as I said before. Different themes theme a different number of elements, so again, your mileage may vary.
For the MB Theme, it is the colour that is the main appeal. They follow the stock look, but change the colour. It can be seen in the screenshots as well.
One last thing - Most of the theming stuff are for HDPI Phones, infact, the MB LP Theme explicitly says no MDPI version, and the Wildfire is LDPI. So, one's mileage with theming stuff will vary a lot between themes.
Basic Ready Reckoner: (What I have stated below are the "best case scenario". Some themes may change one or more elements)
- LP / ADW Themes changes the icons, the launcher specific widgets, and the wallpaper
- CM7 Themes changes the entire UI essentially - Menus, Status Bar, Default Widgets, Icons, Dialer etc. It cannot theme elements like the Lockscreen, some system menus etc
Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
I posted this in the nova launcher thread "Can someone please tell me why this launcher doesn't recognize transparency? I just want to use custom icons in the dock without having a black background."
I got responses from multiple people stating that they are able to use transparent icons. I imagine this is only rezound specific. Anyone else having this issue?
So no one else has this issue?
I'm bumping this because I'm also curious, the 3 default dock icons are transparent, but I cannot for the life of me get my own to come up transparent. They come up fine in LauncherPro so I know they are transparent.
*edit*
OP, I figured it out, I don't know why exactly, but when I chose browse files instead of browse gallery they come up transparent.
I think this is rezound specific due to screen resolution maybe. On my galaxy tab I can choose from gallery and transparency works fine, but not on my rezound. I will use select file instead.

I'm using custom icons with transparent backgrounds in my Nova dock. I do see a faint(very very very faint) box around some icons but I can kick that out in editing.
Hi, I have just updated my phone to B330 and have installed google now as my launcher. I have a theme installed which shows the icons as i want them to but when i set google now as my default launcher it changes the icons to ones with coloured backgrounds. I have tried to go into themes and set the icons i would like to use but to no effect. Hopefully someone can help. On B180 i was using the spectrum pure theme which seemed to work but now does the same thing.
Has anyone else run into this issue on the Mate 20 Pro where only pre-installed themes are shown? If I tap "Customize" 9 can change the lock screen and home screen options with a custom theme, but there's no options to apply an entire custom theme.

I'm going through the exact same thing and its driving me mad. I cant even blame it on a system update or anything, I went to bed and when I woke up, my phone was reverted back to the original theme it came with out of the box,
the "My Themes" "My Fonts" tabs are missing, all my fonts are gone yet I can see all my themes Lock Styles, Icons & Lock Screen Wallpapers however the tabs are missing along with any option to apply is missing.
When I download a theme or a font from Theme or Font Manager and try to apply it from there, tells me its been downloaded and to go to "My Themes" to apply it & Restart. However following those steps also brings me to the above mentioned.
I'm having the same issue on my P30 Lite in Canada. It seems like we aren't able to use the theme store because of my location? When I first got the theme it worked for a couple weeks. Nothing now!
Delete the stock themes app "disable to downgrade", then install the latest from apk mirror
Also, disable auto update so it won't update from the play store.
I tried that and it didn't work
