Hi guys i am fairly new here so i can nott ask the question on the relevant dev thread
i recently installed the: [ROM][CM7.2][RC4] Reincarnation Rom Series v.5 | Touchwiz Nature UX Edition [20/03/2014] onto my galaxy y
i would like to know if it is possible to install a CM7 theme straight on top of this ?
i really have no idea and i would appreciate some guidance
cheers BZ
you can install any theme chooser theme (most ldpi/mdpi themes will work - dont try hdpi only themes or higher)
there are loads on xda and the google playstore
just install and then apply the theme with the theme chooser app that already comes with cm7
Thank you Marcus for your help and fast response
i appreciate it
After having a look through the app drawer and the settings it would seem that i have no theme chooser in this Rom
unless it is hidden somewhere or has been removed for stability maybe, i really don't know :/
any ideas are appreciated
BZ

some custom roms may remove it or hide it from launcher and place it in rom settings instead
look in system/app with a root browser
you should have
ThemeChooser.apk
ThemeManager.apk
if not you can try installing them with system app installer (playstore) or push to system and set permissions to rw-r-r and restart
iv included them in the attachment
if they dont install you will have to change to bieltv cm7 and not use port or custom versions
Thank you again m8
if it wasn't for your guidance i'd be lost completely
much appreciated
they were not installed
so i followed what you said and installed them, and now i can easily change the themes, yay
thank you again m8 for your help and and knowledge :good:

Hi
I have been using CM6 Nightlies for a while now, and I have been lurking about in the theme section for a while, and I would like to know how I can theme my Cyanogenmod roms?
Is it a case of actually flashing themed roms instead of Cyanogenmod?
I know ADWLauncher (included in Cyanogenmod) can be themed independently, but I am still a n00b to themes so would like to know what the best options are!
Thanks
Stu

Check out the threads over in the general android theming forum, especially this one
Sage words below
TIP: Your first theme should really just be a mixing and matching of other themes to get use to the process.
TIP: d/l and look at other themes and see what the have done, using the same process below you can port and mash themes. To see what is themed go to the res/drawable-xxx folders and sorte the png's in there to newest at the top and you'll see what they have changed.
TIP: system/app/xxx.apk are where most apps that are themed are contained in these apks you'll find a res folder and in there you have a bunch of folders. you really on need to look in the drawable-xxx ones mdpi, no-dpi, land and so forth. these pngs make up the apps look and feel changing them will theme the app.

If you would just READ the threads here you'll find the answers
Anyway, just so you won't say I posted for nothing:
- Froyo themes: flash the theme via recovery (I won't answer if you ask what a custom recovery is); ROM must be deodexed.
- CyanogenMod themes: install it like a regular .apk and select it from Theme Chooser
Hi everyone.
As no one on the rom thread want to help me, I'm asking here.
Could someone tell me how to add Theme Choser to this rom ? It may take ressources but I don't care, I want a nice phone.
Thanks.

It's not that they won't tell you, it's that you won't be able to do it, because it will take you a year to do it, even more so if you don't know crap to smali.
Theme chooser isn't only an APK you install. It's hours of modifications to framework.apk, systemui.apk and other programs that can get modded by themes (now contacts.apk and mms.apk)
It's just simpler taking CM base and building your own rom from it rather than taking an existing AOSP based rom and trying to merge in theme chooser.
HOWEVER, for the not so faint of heart but nowhere as hard as integrating theme chooser, you can simply mod the graphics of the rom permanently. Many people have done so quite successfully here, for example with rasbeanjelly rom.
Hi, i have stock v20d rom i want it to look like cm10, but i dont want to install cm10, there are available any framework-res.apk which looks like CM ?
you can try xposed framework its a root app to make mods without really touching your system files or modding them well u can read more about this awesome tool here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then with the framework installed you should download some modules(apk) in your case you would like to have xthemeengine module
its like having theme chooser in cm but for stock look for it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240180 also there is a lot of info about it you may read
then you can download themes or port them by yourself or maybe in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240180 they can also port the theme for you
if you have the time read the above thread and you fill find some cool ported themes like me
im using crystal blue 2 ported theme

You can't - the ones you listed will force close or not function correctly - different framework
if you want to change the look use a theme in theme chooser

I have already said - get a theme (xda or playstore) and apply in theme chooser
Or make your own theme for theme chooser (search how)
or replace all the pngs in the apps yourself
