[Q] How to apply themes to tab with ROM Toolbox? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to apply a downloaded theme to my Tab using ROM Toolbox the other day, but when I tried to apply the theme, I got an error message that said something like "theme did not compile correctly, contact the author". So, I applied the system theme, rebooted, then applied new theme again and I got the same error.
Is it possible to apply themes using ROM Toolbox? Or do I have to go about it another way?
I am running pershoot's CM10 build.

[Q]Installing themes…settings

I'm having an issue when installing custom themes on Wolfbreak 2.2 rom. (More than likely user error).
I follow the install instructions..as u understand them. Download zip file...install using xrec(install custom zip from SD card)..reboot...go into settings/cyan/user tweaks and choose "theme"...then reboot to see applied theme.
The problem I am having is after first reboot the theme is applied...and going into user tweaks and selecting another theme does nothing. After reboot the last installed theme is still there.
Could someone explain what I have done wrong?
TIA

[Q] Get any TouchWiz-Style Launcher on VillainROM

Hi All,
as you may see, I'm new to XDA and even though I'm familiar with linux, I'm new to the whole Android thing. I successfully flashed VillainROM onto my SGA and noticed that I don't like the stock gingerbread launcher. So I tried to get any TouchWiz-Style launcher on my phone:
I tried the "TouchWiz Launcher for Gingerbread [V4]":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049501
I had to replace the "update-binary", but finally it doesn't match the screen size of the sga and moreover it always crashes when I'm trying to start any app.
I also tried the "Honeycomb" theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104335
Some icons and the general menu style changed, but the launcher didn't change - could that be because I couldn't figure out how to install that "minimal.zip"-file?
I somewhere grabbed "TW4_for_Tab - 182dpi.zip" of which I thought it was made for the sga, but it failed to install.
Besides, I tried some other TouchWiz (4) mods of which I can't find the reference anymore. Some of them didn't install (the well-known "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip") even with a replaced "update-binary", so that wasn't a success either.
I figured out how to mount the unmodified 2.3.3 Samsung-ROM and could access the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - but I didn't try to move it to my system folder because it isn't de-odexed - is it a problem to put a non-de-odexed apk (and it's .odex) onto a generally de-odexed phone?
Now I'd like to know if there is any easily usable TouchWiz I could use. Some enhanced version of TouchWiz with additional features would be nice, but I think I would also be satisfied with the unmodded Samsung TouchWiz.
Thanks in advance!

Extracting a teme

Hello im running trigger, and i have a theme for it, but its a .zip file and metamorph no longer supports those, everytime i try to unzip it it gives me an error message and the converter doesn't convert .zips, i tried to figure it out by searching, but its impossible im really stressing out, i can't update from clockwork either..someone please explain to me how to install these .zips on metamorph since there are no other ones on here
lets get a little more info here, what theme is it? (link would be great), what version of trigger are you running? Also sometimes with metamorphs you have to apply twice for it to work.
trigger 2.3.5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156123&highlight=trigger
and this theme - Vibrant HD v1.6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058508
but ive tried multiple themes on metamorph and i can never get any of them to extract it just says control file missing blah blah blah
Also every time i try to install a theme through clock work recovery it fails and i get stuck on the vibrant screen and have to use odin to go back to stock, is there a problem with ROM manager? or am i just an idiot? lol
The theme you are trying to use is a froyo 2.2 theme. I don't think this will work on trigger 2.3.5. You need to use trigger 3.2 final I believe.

^This^ If you want to use that theme use this version of trigger. If you want to keep your current version of trigger and theme it then search "CM7 themes" in the market and use the "theme chooser" app included with trigger 2.3.5

[Q] removing a zip file i flashed to a partition??

so i have flashed cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and the corresponding gapps. when finding the perfect theme i wanted on my phone, i found that i needed to flash a particular zip file to make the theme work. now everytime i try to open the theme chooser it force closes the settings. is there a step i forgot? this is the second time i have done this and each time it takes about an hour for all my apps to download and update and i really dont wana have to do this again.
is there a way to just remove the contradicting zip file that seems to be hindering my theme chooser?
the last time i had cm10.1.3 on my phone with only gapps flashed, theme chooser worked without falter. im 99% positive i just need to remove the added zip file. any help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and i have tried wiping cache/delvik.
