[Q] Downloading and changing themes on rooted thunderbolt - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I am a complete noob and just started getting into using my phones complete capabilities. So that being said I have managed to root my thunderbolt and want to find/download/apply and xbox 360 theme. Is there anything special i need to do such as anything in bootloader before i can download and apply a new theme?

The theme has to be compatible with your launcher. If you're still running Sense, you need a "skin", not a theme.

i would say try adw launcher and the xbox theme from the market. *Note* you dont need to be rooted to do this*

Most, if not all, themes are launcher specific as stated before. Launchers like ADW you just download the theme, open the settings for your launcher and find the themes area. Apply your theme and reboot.

[Q] CM7 theme question

I am using CM7 for the first time, and I really love the ability to change the themes with just a few clicks. I have used a lot of different themes but none of them ever seem to theme Google Talk. I have even used the metamorph mods to change everything else. I have searched all around and still have not found an orange themed Google talk. At the risk of being flamed for asking for something does anyone know of an orange and black themed Google talk to match the orange octane theme.
Mine changes all the time switching to gingerblur theme and galaxy S theme.
Probably redownload the file. And really install it
Thanks for the help but tried that and it still didn't theme Google talk
Are you rebooting after installing the themes? Most themes need to be reboot to fully take effect. You can d/l "notification restart" free from the market so you don't have to reboot every time you apply a theme

Cm7 theme suggestions?

What's the most beautiful devastating cm7 theme you guy's would suggest to me? I just want a new cool look with some colors and some originality... not those boring themes.
thanks
I based my theme off of a theme called Mixer, but then I pulled what I consider the "best parts" out of multiple themes and combined them together, to make my own CM7 theme.... plus some of my own editing as well.
I also like the Elegance theme too. Just go check the CM7 Theme Chooser thread in the main Android theme forum, it has links to over 200 themes.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I suggest theme chooser themes on the market gives you like every theme out there in a list with links to the market or the web to download
im using epic blue n bold. looks amazing, also if they arent ment for qhd just use it to see what you think t wont kill you
Look into the LunarUi and MIUI theme for CM7. I like those two the most.
Thre are plenty of threads with CM7 themes in them. You'll just have to look through them all like the rest of us until you find what fits you. Theme Chooser Themes is a nice wee app as was already suggested. Make sure you also download any lockscreen sliders and extras that come in morph/zip themer files so youget the fullest experience from any themes you try. I would suggest finding something you like through Theme Chooser Themes, then go to the webpage on a PC so you can see everything properly.
I am currently using the Minimal Bread theme with the Honeycomb Lock for the lockscreen.

I have 3 solutions:
You can try a custom launcher GO Launcher Ex is one of the best out there. Not only does it give you custom themes but also additional effects for desktop and app drawers believe me i've been using it for like 3 months and still find amazing things i can do with it
If you are rooted you can create your own MOD for changing icons and stuff by using UOT kitchen (Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen)
Else you can go to mods and themes section people have all sorts of MODs there for applyin. But for this you need to be rooted again.
Hope it helped

Rooted Themes?

Just Rooted my GS4 Verizon. I noticed that some of advantages for rooting your phone are themes. I can already do themes without root. What do themes do with root access? What are some good ones if there are any that take advantage of a Rooted phone.

Big difference between launcher themes (icons) and a system theme which can change the framework, systemui, apps, etc. As far as what themes to use...well, you are rather limited while running Touchwiz. You can try the Xposed Framework + HK Theme Manager + CM10/11 themes though with how TW is, this usually is an incomplete process. Check out the Play Store for CM11 themes to get a better idea of the differences between a complete theme and a launcher/icon theme.

Manually install keyboard theme

I've got an unlocked ATT V10 on T-mobile. As we all know, theming is disabled on the ATT variant. I've tried every trick to try to get themes working on the phone, but nothing has worked. Every time I attempt to install a home theme, font, or keyboard theme smartworld will force close as soon as downloading reaches 100%. No theme is installed.
I know what you are thinking, "just use Nova launcher or a different keyboard". I am using Nova, BUT LG keyboard works best for me having to cycle through 3 different languages. AND there is a keyboard theme for the default keyboard that I had on my G3 that I really really want on my V10. The question is: can keyboard themes be side-loaded and installed? If yes, where can I find that particular theme? I don't have my G3 anymore or else I would download the theme and try to find the apk(if there is one), copy it to my V10, then install it. The theme is trisection_white.
Thanks friends
