[Q] How can I get custom themes!? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok theirs a guy on here who made an awesome ICS theme that I want to get on my Samsung galaxy s 2. I'm not sure how to do this though. He says I'll need a custom deodexed rom (however you spell it) but it seems to me that custom Roms already change the setup/theme of your phone so do I need one ? Also am i gonna need to root my device first? Also is there a link to a good deodexed rom download that I can use?

Find the theme that you like and see with which rom its compatible with, then flash that rom and flash the theme over it.

there is tons of customs roms which gives u pretty nice themes.
1. Turkbey ROM fully themed
2. CHECK ROM - u can use kitchen app to theme
3. LIDROID ROM - you can apply diff themes using theme manager
4. TWlauncher 4.5, where you can theme the launcher

[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.

[Q] Is possible to get Theme Chooser to a stock rom?

Hi, I feel a little stupid because I wanted to get Theme Chooser, like in Cyanogen Mod, but in a stock based rom (Real ICS).
So... I tried flashing with this MOD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050462 But I did'n read all the post and I discover that It's not compatible with stock roms... Now I can't change a theme because the rom says me "No applications can perform this action." I did't do a backup before so I don't want to flash again my rom, any solution to this? is possible to get Theme Chooser to a custom room?
You have to flash a stock rom using flash tool, there's no other way.
Every CM-based custom rom includes the Theme Chooser, so you have to use another rom.

Well if it is not another solution I will flash -.- So... I tried CM before and my device have a little issues of compatibility (There is not a official rom for my smartphone) and I like so much Real ICS rom, but the theme is a little disgusting for me, really doesn't exists a change to install Theme Chooser?

[Q] How to change theme of custom ROM without flashing

Hi Guys,
Id like to know if there is any chances to change my current theme of my custom ROM without having to reflash all again.
Im using Zelly Cream ROM on my Xperia Ray.
Thx in advance
Can't you just install themes from the market? Although that is only possible if you have a theme option in your settings(android 4+). Once installed you change them via this theme option in settings
I mean, the custom ROM itself has different themes to chose from.
In AROMA installer I selected one of 4 dif themes that it has.
And I want to know if I must flash once again the hole ROM or just flashing it again with the dif theme will change the theme and also wont destroy my current config and apps.
Use Go Launcher

u can use go launcher for changing themes of ur rom widout flashing anything
google it for more
ADW Launcher is my personal favorite (its customization options go nicely with CM7 for my device). GO Launcher is really good though and has TONS of theme development support.

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.
