I thought this was maybe a problem with the theme I downloaded, but I've tried 5 other themes now, and it's the same story. I'm running RC1, and am using RC1 themes.
I download a theme, place it on SD, wipe cahce and dalvik, install, reboot...and nothing happens. I go into themes and the same 3 are still there...I try going through each of the 3 themes, and they aren't what I've downloaded.
So what is going on?
anyone, anyone? Bueller?
Are you trying to install themes that can be used with the theme chooser? Or are they flashable zip files? Because if they are for the theme chooser the theme is a .apk and needs to be installed like a app. You can do this using most any file explorer.

I have tried both flashing them in recovery, and installing them through the market. None of them work. You go into "theme chooser" and the same 3 are still there that show up when I've flashed the ROM.
I've tried this with the RC build, and the nightly build of CM7...none of them work.

Name the themes...it may help isolate the cause?

- Bliss
- Honeycomb
- R2D2
- Mixer
- Monochrome
- Frost
Which are zip files and which are apk files?
Mixer and honeycomb alpha v3 are apk files installed as true blue stated earlier. R2D2 is zip file that is flashed but not sure if working on nightlies since RC1. Others I do not know of....

Honeycomb is the only one I've gotten from the market...the rest I've flashed in recovery.

The honeycomb theme from the market is an adw theme. The others that you flash will not show in the theme Chooser. Hope that clarifies it for you.

Oh, ok well I'll try that.
But that doesn't explain why when I flash things, it doesn't show up in theme chooser.

Flashed zipped files do not show up in theme Chooser. Theme Chooser themes are apk files.
Adw themes show up in adw settings and choose theme.
In short, tmo/cm7 theme engine (theme Chooser app) only accepts apk files themed for this engine. Some are on the market and some are available through searching.

ok with that being said
how would you explain the themes not showing up once they are flashed through cwm?
for example for me...i flash Bliss in cwm for cm7 RC1 and as soon as the phone boots it shows the new theme
but in Bballs case the new theme he flashed doesnt show at all...even though he followed the same steps as i did...flashing Bliss in cwm on cm7 RC1
any idea why its not working for him?

Let's think it through. All things being equal prior to flashing the theme, what possible causes are there? First, bad download. Second, things are not equal prior to flash of theme. E.g., some settings or theme each phone has set is different (system or cyanbread for example). Some ideas??
Where is this bliss theme?

well i know for at least me
i flashed Bliss on a fresh cm7 install...so the system theme was the current theme...other than that it was a normal install that i flashed Bliss
now Bball may be different...but im pretty sure he tried also on a fresh cm7 install...but i wont assume...im sure he can fill you in on what he did
EDIT: just to clarify my fresh install was cm7 RC1 and nothing else...no faux kernels or other icons or themes....flashed cm7 RC1 then after boot and initial setup i booting back into cwm and flashed the Bliss theme

Usually themes aren't ROM specific, they are Version specific. (2.2 themes wont work on 2.3 and vice versa) and maybe MIUI themes will not work with Cyanogen Mod.
Hope it helps,

Anyone try it with Mik's CM7 and flashing it without CWM recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102755
I want this, I don't like the black status bar, it makes my screen looks smaller and I don't like to hide it.

It should work, but I don't have CWM Recovery so I'm on the fence to try it out..
Yea. There's an update.zip file which I tried. Makes the status bar transparent with multi picture live wallpaper. Flashed with CWM.but there's no easy way to go back..
I have used it for a very long time ( when I had 6.5.2 ) ..... but it is not updated for 6.5.4 :-(
It replaces the systemui.apk ... so I guess only those who have 6.5.2 will be able to use it
For returning to black statusbar, backup systemui.apk and replace via adb.
Ahh ok guys. Not worth the trouble I guess?

You have to deodex Mik's or Andy's rom for this.
Did this last night, the theme is awsome!
I'm now on Andy's CM7.0.3 RC4.1 with this theme. Awsome!
So the procedure:
Take the rom in linux or windows with cygwin and jdk.
Load it into the kitchen.
Deodex it with the kitchen.
Flash the new packed rom.
Instal the theme.
Flash your own patch made with the patcher for MEIZU.
...
???
Profit!
is it possible with standard android 2.2.2 to have transparent status bar?
For all you guys that flash the patch, don't use the multi-pic live wallpaper. If on ADW, take off the wallpaper hack in the settings, and you will get it. I even think that LauncherPro has it too.
All I want is the.transparent status bar how do I apply ? nevermind i see should of read more

Mik's Rom isn't deodexed.
This patch needs a deodexed rom to work. So you first have to deodex it. If you want I can deodex it and upload it for you. Had the same problem, I'm using the same the but with andy's CM7. Tried it with mik's first, deodexed it and the patch worked. But then I switched the rom.

Here's the deodexed version: http://www.multiupload.com/4EDXYIMXMA
^ I dont know what yuo've done but on flashing your rom, only 200-700kb is free on the internal memory! where as other wise its above 30mb!
somebody do something to make that transperant bar work with cm7 6.5.4!!!
What about neojn devoid froyo rom, can we get transparent bars too
Froyo roms don't support transparency in the statusbar as far as I know.
They are missing the SystemUI.apk in whichs classes.dex the class for the Statusbar is in which one variable has to be changed.
okk its working for me...
S1ckness(thnkz to him) above posted deodexed version of miks 6.5.4 download tht first
1- backup your data using tb. boot into recovery wipe all ur data do fresh install
cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mik-6.5.4-deodexed.zip
2- after installing reboot..
3-again reboot into recovery
3- install this small patch(zip file) download the attachment (i extracted system.ui.apk and framework.res.apk from the above rom and patched it through UOT Kitchen)
4- reboot
5- install a zunes them (meizu_v8_0_for_cm7_by_zdunex25-d3h0m0i.zip) theme given in 1st post.. (Extract MEIZU_MDPI_by_Z25 from the zip + wallpaper.png)
6- to make it work if u are on ADW launcher in its setting untick wallpaper hack..
7-if using launcher pro(like me) download multi live wallpaper from market nd set a single image(wallpaper.png or any wallpaper from ur gallery thru multi live wallpaper) as a wallpaper using multilive wallpaper.. You can find multilive wallpaper in live wallpaper section after installing it.
for me its working great. am using the 6.5.4 miks rom posted by the guy above some post + franco v17 cfs kernel + dark tremor data2sd.. trust me its working awesum...
here are my screens
Honestly if lp user have to use multilive wallpaper then its actually not worth it. Multilive wallpaper isn't that lite. Makes scrolling and stuff laggy for lp. It should be like you can use any any wallpaper without multilive and should work.. perhaps sometime somewhere in future. But this method isn't just worth it.

This is the transparency patch made from Zdune's patcher. Works great for me on CM7 nightly. Saw that there was a few people asking for this but couldn't paste it as a reply since I've never created an account
Both the patch and undo CWM zips are inside the attached file, you will have to extract before flashing

Can i get some instructions too because I'd like to know how you did it because I've been tryingh this since zunex25 released his meizu theme

@vicious von just follow the patcher options on Zdunes website, just copy the files as I mentioned in the 1st post
also i have it working great on meizu right now, the transparent statusbar requires you to use live wallpapers to work. You can use the multipicture live wallpaper from the market to get the transparency with regular picture
I used a patch that was posted in the themes and apps section, has worked on every version of cm7 except for the Ba2TF. Glad to see this!

I've modded SystemUI.apk a ton of times to center the clock and also add a transparent statusbar. If you want to get this to work your have to set the permissions of SystemUI.apk to 644 after you replace it.
The easiest solution is to take your framework-res.apka nd SystemUI.apk, go to UOT Kitchen and simply set the transparency values there and it will build you a CWM zip that you can flash.
Also....how do you get the transparent to work on go launcher ex? I know you have to use multipicture live wallpaper but how do you get a normal wallpaper and still have transparency?

Updated OP with zip for weekly 20
This is my first thread in XDA. Now coming to business. I would like to share with you all the Blue ICY color in Original Oxygen Theme. If some one want entire UI ICY blue color in the same Oxygen ROM look and feel.
Believe me it is 100% stable. The entire greenish boring screens of oxygen turned to ICY blue
Below are the changes:
Original Oxygen Boot Animation in ICY Blue color
Phone Call progress screens in ICY blue color
Phone call screens in ICY Blue color
Contacts in ICY Blue color
Desk clock widget in ICY blue color (only hands)
System Check boxes Radio buttons all in ICY blue color
System Popups, Dialogs, reboot menu
Status bar Icons
Status bar Notifications
This has been done by manually editing the APKS + UOT. The APKS moded are
phone.apk
Contacts.apk
deskclock.apk
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
How to use: Simply flash it through recovery. Tested in Oxygen Rom 2.8 latest version by popdog123 recovery ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0. In case of Amora Recovery mount /system before flashing.
Version 1.5 You will love this.
Call accept reject icon changes (UOT mixer icons. Cool looks now)
Status bar and charging icon fixes
Misc beautification changes
Version 1.4
Framework updated to Oxygen 2.8
Call progress screen changes
Headset Icon changes
Version 1.1
Original Oxygen Boot Animation also in Blue color
Battery percentage minor changes
Any point feeling to go back to original Oxygen look? Flash the system_signed_Original.zip in the below attachment list.
Credits and Thanks :
popdog123 for the awesome rock stable Oxygen Rom
UOT kitchen
Screenies
Please refer the first post.
New version added with blue oxygen boot animation.
Good effort. Will try for sure.
It would also help if you can provide way to unpatch this one. Thanks
Thank you for the suggestion. I have added the Original version also in the post which also is flashable to revert back.
will it work on stock (deodexed ) lg rom??
it will work only on oxygen.
