[GUIDE] How to change default theme on CM7.2!

Warning if you follow this guide wrong your ROM will boot into a STAGE OF FAULTY.

which means your ROM will boot but...when its booted,the phone will be blank white, since it cant read what to display.

Also when you reboot into recovery when phone is on, you cant tell where the buttons are so best if this happens is to pull out the battery, wait 15 seconds and hold your recovery combinations.

OK here is how you do it.

First you MUST have a CM7 Rom, nightly will work too.

Now you need to have a theme you want to make default for me ill choose, ICS Transparent, what you have to do is find out the signature name of the theme, mine is something like this, com.android.ACHEP.Ics.

now go into your build.prop

under android.sdk type this

*Theme~

ro.id.default=your themes name goes here, so mine is Ice Cream Sandwich

ro.com.default+ID.Theme=your signature of theme goes here, mine is com.android.ACHEP.Ics

ro.edit=your android sdk number so mine is 10

ro.start?=then right here when will the theme apply, write "On Boot"

so it should look something like this

*Theme~

ro.id.default=Ice Cream Sandwich

ro.com.default+ID.Theme=com.android.ACHEP.Ics

ro.Edit=10

ro.start?=On Boot
