[Q] Themes on stock rom? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] Different theme choosers?

So I noticed that the theme chooser apk in Eclipse 3.1 does not theme some things that the apk in Blackbean or SmoothRom does. For example, camera and keyboard. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the apk between the ROMS?
thanks
Hi, I believe Theme Chooser is just the software that allow you to apply themes.
The actual modifications of the theme are in another apk that should be called "yourtheme.apk" or else.
So if you want to modify/swap images, do it in your "yourtheme.apk" not in Theme Chooser
Oh wow i wasn't aware of that. I will give it a go and see what happens. thanks

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

no because to theme or make changes you need to deodex your rom first
U Can use Deodexed SystemUI in ur Odexed Rom...U just need to delete the .odex file With Aroma File Manager...Or else if u gonna Delete it Via Root Explr. U Wil Get FC And Statusbar gone..

[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
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:
