Hey,
I was just wondering about themes for the HTC Legend. I have a stock Froyo ROM currently installed in my Legend. What is the difference between a Rom and a theme? Is a theme practically a Rom that we have to flash through recovery? If I install a theme in my Legend, does it replace my Rom I currently have installed? I was planning to get a Rom/Theme for my legend that has a nice style to it. (Transparent notification bar for example.).
PS: Can someone give me a good working nice style Rom? I wanna take a break from the current Rom I have to see what's out there. Thanks for the help. Sorry if this was a stupid question.
A theme is just that, a theme (try changing windows theme, you're still on windows!).
Cyanogen (the rom) has the theme chooser installed, which allows you to change the theme easily (no flashing, just install apk like normal apps). Make sure you pick an MDPI theme.

You mention you're on stock froyo, check out the guides on how to downgrade and install custom roms. Like this.
Thanks! Oh and I am rooted and just have a Froyo Rom installed is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion, the Rom I'm using is just an average HTC Sense Rom Froyo.
Check this thread for a comprehensive list of ThemeChoser themes. Make sure to pick mdpi ones.

Hello!
Can somebody make a Theme for a Sense-UI Froyo 2.2 AOSP Rom (like LeeDroid, Pays etc. ).
I want a port from The Skin "slate" from the RCMixHD v08.
I will very help me, when someone can make a flashable Zip from Framework-res.apk . Please Guys Help me!
I was copy the slate.apk but "I can not see the forest for the trees"
So I Hope for Help from a Themer from the XDA Forum.. So many good themes are here. And I canot imagn how long it takes to edit, compile, and signing so much pngs or 9pngs.
But for an experienced editor i think it will not take so long because the Skin is allready only to have to port or replace the right pngs.
So Help me Guys to make for me the best Theme for me.
Best Regrads
Leedroid is not AOSP mate...
HTC Official FroYo Sense FR91
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thoght that is the AOSP or OTA Kernel wich Sourcecode was release by HTC since couple of days.
So it dosen't matters. I realy want a Theme for LeeDroid or Pays or another Sense-UI Rom because with slate I love the HTC widgets, Calendar, RSS Feeds and Contact. and I dont need the Launcherpro Anymore.
I dont want a specific Theme, just a Base wich can I use than. The best thing, is when it will include in the Theme Kitchen.
Please help me.. I try to make but I canont. Just a Base flashable Base with framework-res.apk and the stuff wich is important to have the totaly look and feel of Slate. Like the blue radio buttons, indicators, hover effects. and the beautiful semi transprent widgets.
Thanks
There is a Theme over in the Desire HD forums which is 'supposed' to work for us as well but i have tried again and again to make it work with different roms (both 1.7x and 1.8x base) but it doesnt apply and the theme stays the default
It is also available for the HD2 in a cooked rom.
Can someone else make this theme work for us as well? Its very sexy and cool

Welcome the the Steel Blue CM7.
This is the first version of Cm7 SteelBlue Theme for Samsung GalaxyS.
It is based on Cm7 ROM that is still in Alpha stage of development, so the theme is also still Alpha.
Many of you will say that it is to early to make themes for CM7,
but the ROM is allready stable enough for that by our opinion.
Theme will follow development of the CM7 ROM.

Is this able to be used on the HTC Desire? Don't worry I do know what I am doing installing and stuff, just wondered if it was compatible. I don't want to find myself in a boot loop.
I found this randomly through the XDA forum, and it is listed in the HTC Desire, Desire Themes and Apps, so I am confused.
Regards
B2k
Sorry I have just realized that I have pulled and old thread, but my question still stands if the author is around.

Hi, links are down for me
Do you mind if you upload to mediafire? Thanks

I've installed the newest Mini CM6 1.0.0.0 and I can say that that is the best rom I've ever used. The only problem is the theme, and the lot of apps that drains so much memory and battery. So my question is: Can somebody make a clean Mini CM based rom with xperia theme? I tried to install themes today but they didn't work.
Clean... as it is the original miniCM it can not, not be cleaned....
Find autostart app and disable some background run apps...
And you should worry about not being able to install themes...
I installed a theme (Arc) with xrecovery, but it restored to some kind of sense and gingerbread theme. I've done all the steps as shown in the Mini Cm thread.
Themes don't change ui (graphical interface)
They just change icons, buttons, bars and backgrounds.
Open the update zip find framework apk open it and chage the images in the way you like.
How can I change the whole UI? The framework?
...everythink is apps... custom roms have some times changed ui... or just find a launcher app with the ui you like
Well, i've never had themes on my phone, except for when I had cyanogenmod on my hd2 - but then it was easy to install them with theme chooser... So, is it possible to install themes on our plays? (I don't even know if there are such themes available ) Pulling and then installing theme chooser and manager apks from cyanogen won't work, right?
Cheers, peter
