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?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
- 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?

Ok. What theme do you have selected in theme Chooser? Likewise for the other phone.

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

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.

Hey, I installed active launcher and i really like it, but i cant add the sony erricson weather widget, when i selct the weather widget it doesnt come on the homescreen. any1 plz help?
If you are using Stock rom with active launcher and weather widget, you can't add this.
And if you are on custom Roms then search for another launcher and widget from Application and theme section. A thread by sparks will be there.

Yes I did. Yes, Nova is set like default. On TW it works normal,but on any other launcher it doesn't work. It's maybe bug in ROM, but rom is very good and all other things work perfect and it will be very good to fix it.

I did this without result.. After restore to Phoenix v18 everything is ok. But, I downloaded S5 UPSM for kit kat and installed it on Phoenix rom, and tried to set widget and the problem is same, so I think that there is some bug in MOD

So one more try
Do a mega full wipe. In TWRP - wipe cache & dalvick, data, system, internal storage.
In Philz touch I think that is prepare for new ROM

You are right. It's a bug in the mod. I doesn't work with Nova or other custom launchers. No need to wipe anything, it will not solve your problem.

I have downloaded themes using the stock theme app and they always apply. The app gives a toast "theme applied" and exits. But even after rebooting, the new theme is not showing.. It is as if the theme app is broken or does not correctly apply themes.
The only theme that is working is the default Obsidian(magazine). And after applying any new theme, the default Obsidian still remains.
I have cleared app cache & data and even tested applying new themes with Xposed disabled but that has not worked so far.
Am on MM.
Anybody with a solution to this issue?
Have you tried FIRST apply obsidian (even if you are on obsidian), and AFTER THAT apply any other theme?
(hint from sokkoban)
