What theme is it you trying to apply. If its not one i have all ready tried. Ill give it a go and try to troubleshoot for you.

Are you using the latest recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] c4warrior:
Yes, everything is up to date.

In a perfect world, I want the tangerine layout with the monochrome color :)

I've tried loading tangerine many times as well as cyan. So if you're helping trouble shoot let's stick with tangerine.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Ok tangerine has flashed fine for me. Do you all ready have a theme applied via the built in theme chooser?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] c4warrior:
Right now I have Rover's selected.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
I was thinking that maybe if you have a theme applied before you flash thatt may have smething to do with it. But if your doing full wipes before you flash tats not going to be the case.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
You might need to wipe data/factory reset as well before flashing the rom. I know it's a pain but once you have one of the themes successfully loaded you won't need to wipe data again for the next update. Backup what you really need with Titanium Backup and also do a nandroid backup. Once your theme is loaded and working use Titanium Backup to restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
Nevermind, CJ already said this, didn't see it before replying
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] c4warrior:
I understand. Believe me, I have fooled with this more than I should have. If it were a better color I would probably still be wiping and flashing :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Maybe sonny will be able to shed some light on your problem vthe next time he is about. Im confused though your doing everything correct.

Hopefully someone else might be able to shed some light.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] c4warrior:
Welcome to my world.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
After a fresh RC1+gapps install, let it boot once and sync fully. Then boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, flash the theme, fix permissions, reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] BoscoTM:
I'm pretty sure Type Fresh is replacing the fonts in system/fonts. Any one else have the issue with the fonts being off center in the notification bar?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] c4warrior:
Thank you for trying. This resulted in the infinite loop as well.

It is strange to me that the same process breeds a different result but I have done this many ways and many times.

Thank you folks for trying to help but I think I quit. Reflashing is getting really old.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Does these themes work with new nightly build?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
No, only for RC1, next update will be for RC2.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DerIdiot:
Hello,

I'm terribly new to themes and I saw Lucid and really love the look, but I'm having one hell of a time installing it on my G2. I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1.1, I downloaded the file "Lucid_CM7_RC1.zip", when I try to apply it via clockwork recovery, it gives an Installation aborted. I'm going in and selecting 'update from zip' and just selecting the whole zip, is that not correct? Does it only work on CM7?

Sorry if it's been asked.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
These themes will only work if you are running CM7 RC1 and using the latest CWM recovery.

w
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] qzan7:
Yes only on cm7 rc1......

XDA app + my cm powered G2 = this post, thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] linkmaster_6:
Hey these themes look great on RC1 but I can't get them to work on nightlys. But I did have a question. Why are you not makeing these themes for cyanogen's theme engine? It seems silly now that he made that to have to flash zips. I would much prefer that over the current method. Just my two cents
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DerIdiot:
Hah, I flashed to nightly 3 before I saw that it doesn't work on the nightly builds. Back to RC1 then!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DerIdiot:
I must be doing something wrong, I flashed over CM7 RC1, rebooted. Turned off and pulled the battery, booted into CWM recovery, went to 'apply update from zip', navigated to the theme and went to apply it and hit yes. I get 'Installation aborted' every single time.

Incoming 'you're doing it wrong!'...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
It's not silly because, as I already mentioned in previous posts, it takes a lot of time and effort to port everything to the theme engine and it's scope is limited and not all the details of the traditional themes can be included.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Select 'install zip from sdcard', not as an update zip.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DerIdiot:
^ Success after downloading again, must have gotten a bad copy. In any case, it doesn't look like the screen cap. I'm assuming I have to install the extras as well? It's a shame Google didn't make Android have it's own built-in theme engine so you didn't have to port like this..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Yes you have to apply the extras, instructions are in the 2nd post.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] linkmaster_6:
Well what could be ported over? It would still be really nice to have at least some of the theme in the theme manager. If you need some help I would be happy to help you. I have some expreince in makeing android apps
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] aceman118:
I really like the bliss theme but was wondering how I would go about making a couple small changes. I don't really care for the current battery set as well as the system wide selection color of green. If I just wanted to pull bits and pieces of a few of these themes and package them together is that possible? If so is there guide or tutorial on how to do that somewhere?

I've already got the apks pulled apart and I see the various png files I would need. I just wouldn't know how to get it built back into an apk. Does it need to be signed differently or anything?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
No need to sign/unzip any apks. Just open them in WinRAR and drag and drop your images to replace mine.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Nerdess:
Hi !

I'm still using nightly. Can i apply your themes though ?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
No, they will result in a bootloop.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] thecrucible:
Ahhh....I guess I should have read to the end of the thread before flashing...LOL...found that out the hard way.;)

That being said, the fonts should still work on the nightly builds, yes?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Yes, also you can flash parts of the themes. Just delete framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] funkadesi:
Hey Sonny bhaaji ;-)

Im using the CM7 RC1, the theme installed fine... CM7 comes with ADW launcher... so since its pointless to install launcher pro I needed to find out how do I change the ICONs , is there a NON-ADB way of doing it? I read and read through the thread but still no luck, sorry If I make you repeat something again.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Hey,

Long press on Homescreen/Custom Shortcut/Pick your activity(your choice of app)/Erase the Label/Click on the icon and replace it with your custom image.

Another way is by using Folder Organizer which I recommend because you can change the pictures of multiple items in one window even though you have to apply them one by one. Saves a little time.

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] funkadesi:
Thanks for the quick reply, I do have one more problem, it seems like my notification bar icons (Wifi, H, signal level) are stil the same, and are no way near the ones showed in your picture?

You think it could be a bad flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] UnSungHERO420:
Sonny i'm craving lucid on my #6 nightly!! What exactly will look different if I delete the framework-res and systemUI apks?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Do you have another theme selected in theme chooser? If yes, select the stock theme. If not, try wiping cache and dalvik cache and flash the theme again.

You can use framework and SystemUI also.

Extract the contents of:

Lucid/system/framework/framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ALL FILES

Lucid/system/framework/framework-res/res/drawable/progress_horizontal

Lucid/system/framework/framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content

Lucid/system/app/SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi/ALL FILES

In WINRAR, Replace those 2 apks in the theme with the one's from the Nightly and drag and drop the previously extracted images/xmls in the right locations.

Things like 1% battery increments won't work. You won't get the full theme effect, but it will be pretty close.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] UnSungHERO420:
Could I possibly replace the aforementioned apks in the flashable zip file and flash accordingly and sidestep the bootloop?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Yes, but only a few apps and the dialer will be themed that way. If you follow the little guide I posted, you can get almost the entire theme to work and it only takes like 5 minutes :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DerIdiot:
I'm loving your icons for the Lucid theme, they fit in really well with the layout I have going. I just need to make a few for ConnectBot and Terminal Emulator..

Thanks a lot though! :)

keyboard back light issue

I hate to poke holes in an otherwise excellent bit of work but i have a small issue that I hope is just something small and simple I've overlooked. With the theme applied the key board back light doesn't work correctly. Stock ROM, open keyboard back light lights Themed, open keyboard back light doesn't light. If I toggle the screen light setting via power widget the keyboard responds but fails again after it goes to sleep.

Am I confused or has anyone else noticed this?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pawel_podgorski:
noob need help with this

how the hell flash this themes ??

htc vision (t-mobile g2), nightly #8 ,clockworkmod 3.x.x.x

download Tangerine_CM7_RC1.zip put on sd flash from recovery and after reboot only thing what i have is boot logo,

any ideas ??

greetings
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
These themes will only work on CM7 RC1.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pawel_podgorski:
that explains everything

thx and am waiting for version for nightly
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
These themes will only be getting up dates when the next RC is released.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
Only way I found that these theme work is flash rom, gapps then boot to phone skip setup, then reboot to recovery and flash theme. Supposedly just wiping cache and then flashing works but not for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Hi All,

Lucid is on the market for the T-Mobile Theme Engine. If you like my work, you can support me by buying it :). Rest of the themes to follow except for Frost which was tricky to port. You will have a choice between 15 themes for the theme chooser :).

You can still get the traditional themes here on xda for free and I will continue to update them as usual.

Cheers,

Sonny
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
Thank you!!! just got Lucid and Onyx, had been holding off flashing nightlies cause I love Onyx so much.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Thanks :) and please leave a comment.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] makanimike:
At least the Helvetiker Font doesn't have any special characters (e.g. Umlaute: ä,ö,å,ü, etc)

Any chance you could add them, too? :)

regardless, thanks so much. Makes my phone look so much cleaner.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] J+Will:
Frost theme is sick! Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
BLISS Temporarily Removed:

The version that I was maintaining for mythamp has been taken down as he wants to put his version on the market.

New version will be started from scratch and will be uploaded soon.

It will still have the circle battery % etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
New theme added: VIVID.

It will replace BLISS and is a lot more colorful than BLISS.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Rolled back to RC1 to test Vivid. Theme looks great, very colourful.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Check your PM :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] insink71:
battery percentage

Looks like CyanogenMod has put back up the battery percentage in their nightly builds (on or around Feb 22nd). Its the vertical bar with a numeric value to the left but it works nicely. As this was my main reason for using the themes (and even though I like the Froyo style a little better), I will probably be discontinuing my use of the Lucid theme.

That being said, very slick theme; I have enjoyed using it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jeremyt727:
Ok.. Sonny I'm running CM7 RC1 Rom on my nexus s.. I've been really trying to flash the Bliss theme and for some reason the furthest it goes is the boot loader. It just stays on the boot up screen and it took me to wait about 15 and still nothing.. now that's a long time.

Than I decide to switch the Framework and SystemUI apk from the Bliss theme over to the actual rom I'm running (CM7 RC1) and than for some odd reason, the CM7 RC1 rom would just go up to the boot up screen and that's the furthest as well as the bliss theme..

Idk why I seem to have trouble. What should I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Bliss has been replaced by a new theme: VIVID. Try flashing that. Also, wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions before you do.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Crey23:
Sigh...

So I loaded the Tangerine Theme....from the opening page, I followed directions....

Copied to SD

Rebooted in Bootloader

Flashed as a rom

I have done so, but cannot get out of an endless loop of the boot animation ...and "X".

How do I get out of this?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Boot into recovery, flash RC1 ROM, reboot, sync, boot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, flash theme, reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Crey23:
Thanks Sonny, I was freaking out, bcs I had a PC10IMG.zip on the SDCard, and every time I booted into HBoot, it would automatically launch the zip, and would not let me go into recovery.

Light bulb went of and took the sdcard out put it a reader on my pc, deleted the file, and rebooted into recovery and flashed #7 again.

I was freaking out !!!!

Thanks for the prompt feedback though, I appreciate it!

Cheers!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
No problem, but the theme won't work on # 7. Only for RC1.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jeremyt727:
Okay can you send me like a link to it or something? I can't find it on XDA.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rajackar:
So if I understand you correctly these themes can't be used with the nightly builds?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
The link for all the themes is in the second post.

I see from your signiture that you are using a nexus S, I might be wrong but I think you need to download the theme from the nexus S forums. All the phones framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk vary.

I'm sure that these themes are available for the nexus. S
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
That is correct, some of themes can be downloaded from the market and used via the built in theme chooser.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonny.theme.sublimegreen&feature=search_result

And its a great way to support the developer of these themes.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Problem with the market version

So, not sure what the problem was. I have a G2, and so far as I know it's an hdpi screen, which is what the market version of the Vivid theme requires. I bought the market version, and tried to apply it with the theme chooser, and was given a message that some of the theme elements were not made for my screen resolution or some such. I applied it anyway, and the thing that stood out was that the notification window did not have a transparent background. I got a refund, but I can only get a refund once, so I was hoping to get some answers before I try buying again. Sonny, thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Did you try rebooting?

Sent from my awesome DZ
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Yes, what Chris said, You have to reboot for it to fully apply. Working on a big update for all the market themes.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Okay, didn't notice that at first. works fine, looks better. Love vivid.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
Sonny, just downloaded Ember from the Market. It is yet another awesome theme by you. I am very thankful you have ported these to theme engine because I keep changing my mind on which one I like best :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Thanks a lot :). With the theme chooser, I can focus on making new themes instead of constantly having to update the existing one's :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] .ili.music.ili.:
I really like the Frost launcher and top notification bar. Is there a way I can get those without getting the icon packs? Is it a themed adw launcher?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
The icons are not included and have to be applied manually anyway. The dock is for LauncherPro, it may work with ADW.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Bigt2003:
Just flashed Vivid, and bought Vivid, Onyx, and Sublime from the market. Thanks for all your hard work.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Thanks for your support :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Bigt2003:
Quick question... I flashed onyx weeks ago, then just changed to vivid. Now my notifications are white text on gray background and hard to read. I tried updating the theme with the market one, no luck. Any ideas that don't require nandroid? My unthemed backup is pretty old...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Flash the ROM again, no need to wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Bigt2003:
I know, I know. I was just looking for a way so I didn't have to reflash my font, bootanimation, and kernel. Just trying to be lazy.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
suggestion

Sonny, love the themes. Had a suggestion. A lot of us run emulators, so it would be really cool to have a series of themed icons for various consoles which could be applied to the emulators. So, have an icon for snes, n64, psx, etc. Would be pretty sweet. Keep up the amazing work.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tbalden:
Thanks for yer hard work. You just had a sublime green purchase... works great with latest nightly.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
I use them too :p, will keep in ming for next update :).

Thanks :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Sweet, can't wait. don't foget, yongzh just released n64oid...

Can we start a thread with suggestions for apps we'd like to see themed? maybe the most popular apps or widgets could go to the top of the ol' priority queue?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Already themed nesoid and snesoid, will try to add n64oid as well.

The themed icons will only apply to the market themes and I don't think it's appropriate for me to start a thread where the apps are not posted here.

But you can always post your requests here :).

EDIT: Added n64oid also.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Bigt2003:
Sonny, I tried to download the vivid extras but I get a "file is not a zip file" error.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Just uploaded it again. Also attached here.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Bigt2003:
Thanks! Once again, you rock!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
UPDATE

All themes updated for CM7 RC2.

Uploading new themes now.

Please test and post feedback.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
differencees?

so, is there any difference between the new rc2 version and the market version?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
morphs?

so, what are these morph files all about? just tried flashing the vivid morph on rc2, and it failed.

Also, any chance of themeing beautifulwidgets? in particular, the beautifulwidgets home weather widget.

Love these themes.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Morphs are not flashable but to be applied via Metamorph, they are to go with my market themes. You can get the Beautiful Widget skins from within the app.

Edit: Just saw your other question, the market themes are actually a little more detailed than the flashable versions with more themed widgets and icons.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Hi sonny.

Been using luicd all day on RC2 and nightly #14 and have encountered no problems. Haven't tried any of the theme chooser themes yet but will have a play round tonight.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Hellboy42:
I just flash the vivid theme and i don't understand what i have to do with the Morph folders .

How to use the morph and the extras folders ?

Is there any way to use it with theme chooser ?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
.The extras folder contains wallpapers, sometimes themes apps and icons which need to be applied via launcher pro, adw ex or desktop visualizer, again all available in the market.

All of sonny's themes are available to download from the market if you want to apply via the built in theme chooser.

The morph folder are for use with the metamorph application available in the market and are designed to be used alongside the theme chooser themes, because of the limitations of the theme chooser app not all elements are themeable.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] 99formulam6:
Just to confirm, since my phone is doing the same thing...do I need to flash the entire ROM again, or just flash the theme again?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Hellboy42:
Tell me if i'm wrong :

Buy the theme and apply

Install vivid icons pack 1 or 2 on the market

Install metamorph and apply morph folder

Enjoy
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
No need to apply the icons with the market theme. They are included.

Edit: those 2 icon packs are not mine.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Hellboy42:
I just bought your vivid theme on the market

installed via theme chooser and apply the morph I found here.

I won't really see changes after applying the morph :confused:

Lots of questions coming (sorry i'm a noob :D )

The dialer is small size :( . The numpad take only a quarter of the screen in the middle. Any thinghs I did wrong ?

the clock widget is not included ?

Is there any way to have ADW dock looking like on the Frost theme ?

How can I have the four unlock icons ?

How can I change the app drawer icon ?

That's all for the moment ;)

Thanks for this theme
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
The dialer is a little smaller in the market theme. The clock widget is beautiful widgets from the market.

You can change the app drawer icon in ADW or launcherpro, same with the dock. You can change the lockscreen in CM7 settings/lockscreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Hellboy42:
Wow impressive response time

No way to change the dialer size because it's really a problem for me with my big fingers ? Or i will switch to dialer one because the sence one miss me with its search features
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Yeah sorry, options are limited with the theme Chooser.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] chuck peirce:
Huge Ups

Been anxious for the new RC. Can't believe Sonny turned this around so quick. :eek:

Best themer around? I'd say so.

Thanks a ton, Sonny.

Running Lucid all day on my g2. Sexy as ever.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] 99formulam6:
Is there any reason installing the rom again will fix the text coloring issue? I installed the theme again and it is still the same. My notifications and call log are very hard to read.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Can you post a screenshot of the problem? Make sure you have system theme selected in Theme Chooser.
