How can I theme CyanogenMod?

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.

[Q] How to change theme???

Hi everyone,
Quick question, dont know if its been answered before or if wrong thread. I apologize in advance. So Im running cyanogenmod rom and have downloaded a couple themes. Everytime I try to change theme under the settings it crashes and closes. Does anyone know a fix or another option to get this to work. I also have a apex launcer that allows me to change the theme but not the ones i bought for cm10! Thanks!

are the themes updated for cm 10.1 and android 4.2.1? did you flash the latest nightly?

[Q] Themes on stock rom?

Is it possible to apply themes the stock (obviously a deodexed version) ROM?
Which way, please? Do I need something like a theme chooser?
Thanks!

There is no way to use a theme chooser. The closest you will get would be themeing Apex or Nova (launchers). If rooted you may be able to flash a package, but otherwise it is likely impossible.

Thanks, I'd prefer not to change launcher. Perhaps I found something: Zipthemer seems to edit Deodexed roms adding themes to them. Right?

[Q] can i install a theme for cm7 on a custom rom

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

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:
