Theres some mods in themes and apps section you could try. You may need metamorph from the market or flash with clockwork app. Check the bible/tips and tricks too, but always follow directions and do a clockwork backup first..gl

I am almost positive there are no flashable themes for any ROMS that are out now. ( Well any that are current.) If you flash an old theme on a new ROM you will must likely get a brick due things like the framework being changed.
Metamorphs can only be done through metamorph itself & themes in the markets are got home replacements only.

ok, so ive reacently rooted my wildfire and flashed it with cyanogen 6.
and i want to try a new theme, ive downloaded the theme injector and all that stuff. I understand how to install it BUT: if i theme my cm6 will the phone act like i installed a new rom and will i have to do all settings and homescreens again? or will all my settings contacts and apps still be on the same place just with a different appearance?
if you want me to explain better, let me know!

This is just a zip you can flash to erase whatever theme you are using (for stock ROM). This will install all stock apps, stock frameworks, fonts and boot animation. I use this when I'm testing themes. Much better than re-installing stock ROM because you don't have to do any wipes (keeping all your apps and settings) and it will keep your OC kernel active. Also much quicker than re-installing stock or restoring nandroid
Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone.
Changelog:
3/26/2011 Updated with nfinites 2.0 ROM deodex.
New! 4/4/11 Mikshift 1.1 version available (odex).
Instructions:
Make a nandroid just in case. Use CWM 2.5 or 3.x to flash (uses edify scripting). Busybox must be installed to flash.
Download:
Theme Eraser NFX (deodex) updated 3/26/11
Theme Eraser MikShift (odex) updated 4/4/11
Appreciate this. This is very handy and useful much better and faster than restoring nandriod

Updated, see OP
Ok, I'm coming from the moment and everything seems to be a little more confusing on the shift. I just perm-rooted my shift yesterday. Now I'm looking to theme it. I haven't installed any roms or different kernals yet, because I'm really confused on which one to do, cause a lot of them say something is broken.
So what i wanted to do was apply the cyan dragon theme. So I assume this theme eraser acts like a theme template and I have to use it before applying any theme.
Now the next problem I'm having I can't even download this or the cyan theme. Every time I click on the download link I get directed to the dropbox site and I get a 403 error. I even tried creating my own account and logging in and still don't know how to get the file. Don't know if its a dropbox problem but I've been trying since last night. I've never used dropbox before so maybe I have to do something different to get the file. Unless it's an xda thing and I don't have proper permission to download this file.
Any help would be appreciated, cause I really want to theme this bad boy.

This is not a theme template per se. You don't need to use this to flash a theme. This is for when (for example) your on cyan dragon and you decide you want to try a blue theme. This puts framework, apps, ect back to default (using nfinites rom as a base deodex) since not all themes have the same themed apps and you don't want to have some themed apps leftover on the wrong theme. This is also much faster than reflashing a rom, keeping all your apps and settings. If you're trying to flash cyan dragon then I recommend flashing nfinitefx45's stock 2.0 rom found in android developement first. The issue with the links is dropbox related and I'm planning on moving everything to multiupload later on today, then ill update the links.

I wouldn't recommend it. Mikshift is an odex rom and this is deodex.

Hey Dread,
If running the NFX Odex ROM, then which of the two versions would you recommend?

Well in that case I guess I would suggest the mikshift version cuz its odex as well... but it will basically become mikshift at that point...

do we have to wipe theme before applying another one, if we currently have one installed already?

Its suggested to do so. If you flash a theme over a theme there might be residual themed apps leftover as not all themes theme the same apps.

I have tried to import from my SD Card a few themes, i have tried this in ZIP & MTZ format via file manager and through the theme manager
I have downloaded the froyo themes from MIUIThemes.com
but when i click import it just goes back a page and there is nothing there... can anybody help with this issue ?
Thank you
Any update on this please?
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI-IRIS
wait until you reach 10 posts & post your issue on the rom's own thread & you will get help
I'm on Cobrato's MIUI & have no issues applying themes so can't really help you
I know its a pain that i have to get up to 10 posts! but oh well, I thought that was the point of this Q&A area...
it is but of course in the rom's own thread you'll get answers faster I said it as a friendly advice
by the way the zip themes won't work only try mtz themes & put them in your sd card in miui/themes for easier access
I checked the rom's thread but didn't notice anyone with your problem, but it seems that some have some issues regarding theme manager though
Thank you... I will click thank you when I am next at my PC.... but I did try the mtz files and still no luck... oh well

I had this problem. I tried to install, you have to look on site if it has 2.2 beside it or 2.3, then if it doesn't work, reboot and try again. that got it working for me
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
well I'm glad your problem is solved
Make sure you get 2.2 themes and download them straight away from the MIUI online themes. When donwloaded you'll see them in between the selectable themes.
I had downloaded the 2.2 themes as the now work in the new roms
I am presuming that it was just a theme glitch on the 1.0.8 rom, but all other roms after have installed the rom quickly and easily.
But thanks for the replies with the issues as this may help other people who have downloaded the wrong ones
Hi, I´m a proud owner of a Galaxy Ace, it has the stock rom 2.3.4 KPH but I want to apply some themes, at the beginning I did it but the phone won't boot normally and a loop cycle starts. I already flash the device with the same rom (stock 2.3.4 KPH) and I did the deodex to the device. So, finally, my question is, can I apply some themes to the phone without suffer the same issue?
It would be great to have the Meizu theme on my Galaxy Ace, thanks in advance and regards from México.
Did you mount /system?

You're just repeating a general solution without knowing why. Not mounting system will just make the flashing be void and no replacement of the framework files are made. Here, there is a bootloop meaning the theme is not built for 2.3.4/not made for Ace.
He probably flashed a 2.3.3 theme. To |OP| make sure you're flashing a compatible theme.
I already tried with some themes from this forum (for the Ace specifically) indeed, but all of them weren't for the KPF, so, I guess that consegregate is right, those themes that weren't made for the KPF are causing the boot loop issue ? Do you know guys where I can find the Meizu theme for my Ace (KPF)?, I have my phone already deoxeded
Just to answer to myself (and everyone out there with the same question), I have the stock rom (KPH 2.3.4) deodexed and after apply the Meizu for KPN everything goes just fine, no boot loops, so I guess that the deodexed did the magic.
Thanks for your responses
I've trying to deodexing stock ROM 2.3.3 for LG P500 with xUltimate, but during deodex qcnvitems.odex I got fail:
**ERROR DEODEXING qcnvitems.odex** -auto-frame- (14:55:31.98 25.11.2011)
**DELETING PROCESSED FILES** -auto-frame- (14:55:31.98 25.11.2011)
**MAJOR ERROR** -main- (14:55:59.07 25.11.2011)
why can this be?
other files deodexing without problems
if u want easy way download adw launcher and in settings choose get themes
I do not like ADW, I take the Sense. In addition, I want to replace the icons of the status bar
Is there anyway to change my status bar icons? i changed them without backing up on metamorph and now i can change them to anything else. i want to use rom toolbox but it want change did i mess up something using metamorph?
First, this should be in the Q/A forums. You posted this in the development forums, which isn't suitable for a question.
Second, NEVER use ROM toolbox with the X2. It is only included with the CM releases as a package and does wonky things if you mess with it.
It's not rom toolbox we have to worry about its ROM manager I use rom toolbox all the time works beautifully for me as long as I don't try to flash anything with it or anything that we know we can't do with those types of programs on are dx2 so you can't manage roms with it but you can do just about everything else
I know what to use to flash roms an rom toolbox has lots of different applications suitable for the x2

Go into recovery and reflash your rom. Depending on if you are on Jb can't reflash your rom you have to start from scratch. If you are on any author version of Cm reflash the gapps. All other roms reflash wipe cache and divalk cache reboot you will be back to normal.
Uot kitchen, i.d.i.o.t, android tool kit, your looking for theme stuff, search for the terms i listed and it will get you started changing stuff how you want it

Dont spread misinformation. ROM Toolbox works beautifully with the X2, except for the boot LOGO feature. The boot animation function is great.
For the OP, I wouldnt use it as the icons are a bit on the ugly side. The ones offered on UOT Kitchen are quite nice. There are also a few other toggles which change things up like the actual status bar, pulldown background and toggle buttons.
