themes and customization

[theforerunner]

ive been meaning to ask, on the IHO rom, and also on the harmonia, theres a "theme chooser" in the home icons. I have downloaded one theme called Cyanbread and it allows me to choose between the default and the cyanbread using the theme chooser....

now, this is different from using themes in ADW launcher, so im wondering how do i just get themes for this theme chooser? do i have to look on the market for just "theme apps" ones that dont require launcher applications?

Mainly im just trying to change the way my status bar looks, IE the color mostly. thoughts?

There are CM7 themes for Theme Chooser on the Market.

It's not a flashable theme. You apply it with the theme chooser.

I found it on the Marketplace. It says it's for HDPI devices only. What is that and how do I know if my OV is one? (OK I googled and it's apparently the screen type, but I still don't know what my screen is.)

The V is mdpi. Generally mdpi is screen res of 320x480, and hdpi is 480x800.

There is an mdpi version on the market. That's what I'm using.

Which one? I found one by Sekhon for mdpi but it's been "installing" for 10 minutes.

Wish I could remember. It doesn't show up in the app drawer, of course, and it doesn't say in the theme chooser. After my kids go to sleep, I'll try to look it up.

Okay, I got a chance to check it out, and it is in fact the Sonny Sekhon one.

Did it install for you eventually?

No, I rebooted and it was in the Theme Chooser and I got the warning message when I tapped it. I booted again and it still went to the default theme.

I tried to uninstall it and it sat on that screen for over ten minutes too. I just flashed a fresh rom to get rid of it.

 

[flapjack.fiasco]

That's weird! I've never encountered that issue before, and installed it at least 5 times.

I'm running BACKside on a newer OV (came with Android 2.2.2). I wonder if it's a version problem?

 

[flapjack.fiasco]

I wouldn't think so. The only thing different between the new and old is the screen (and therefore, the screen's driver). I don't think that the theme is directly interacting with any drivers. I would try it on a fresh install, before restoring any apps and see what happens.

Maybe I'll try it again. I just reflashed and the only thins i added were gmail and Google voice.

ADD: I just realized my gapps is for 2.3.5. Don't know if that is a problem but I'll see if there is one for 2.3.7.

 

[flapjack.fiasco]

Have you tried Harmonia 2? It's IHO based, and you don't have to flash gapps at all, it's prepackaged.
