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.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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
I wanted to mod the icons/themes, but do not know how to go about....
Is it all with the flashing new themes with CWM and even icons are the same?
Do we get icons for the default launcher with SGS3 or do we need to change the launcher to get the icons/themes?
Any tutorials would be real helpful,
Thanks guys
I have been using a Custom Rom for the Droid Razr called Avatar for some time now. Within the Rom they have included the application Theme Chooser. Theme Chooser allows the user to pick and download various themes to install within interchanging them by wallpaper, boot animation, resources, ringtones, etc.
I downloaded a theme because I really enjoyed how the icons looked. The problem is the transparent background of many icons and fonts are a Salmon looking Pink Color that I wish I could change. I could change this with the Theme Chooser App but it also changes to the Icons.
Is there a way I could just change the color?
Thanks for any help
I am new to themer and I like a lot of the themes but some have like the music bar or something that I'd like to remove or change with something else. Is this possible ? Or is the theme the theme and you can't change the home screen stuff ?
Thanks
Hi guys,
I would like to know what is the best app to edit a theme?
I have used the theme editor from the playstore, but when I applied the theme that I have created I had to do a factory reset because it won't let me change back to another theme. Maybe was an issue only with that theme that I have created, but I wanted to know if there was another method to edit themes through another app or something like that.
What I didn't like in the theme editor app is that it doesn't have an preview option for the theme, so I would only know how the theme would look like when I apply it.
BTW, I'm on EMUI 5
Thanks
