Custom Themes

[goph_man]

I am still a beginner when it comes to Mods and etc. I am currently running Aokp build 28 with franco kernel and the 4.0.4 radios. I am trying to install a custom theme however and am wondering how to go about it exactly. Do I just install the zip file from recovery without wiping anything or what? Any help would be appreciated!

Flashing Instructions

Normally the rule of thumb when flashing is as follows.. *** First make your Nandroid Backup if you haven't already.

• ROMs... Normally a full wipe.. Data,Cache & Advanced/Dalvik Cache. Although many users do what they call a "dirty flash" and don't wipe DATA so they don't have to redo their settings and personal data. This isn't always a good option but it works in most cases, so if you have problems then do the full data wipe.

• Themes.. Cache & Advanced/Dalvik Cache... This won't remove any personal data/settings but is recommended.

• Kernels.. Cache & Advanced/Dalvik Cache.. This is important to do, as kernels are a main link between your device and OS and you want to make sure you have a good proper flash.

• Mods & Apps.. Normally these don't require any wipe, see the devs instructions for what your flashing.

[TIP]Note: Above all mentioned above, follow the devs instructions for what your trying to flash.[/TIP]

Nice write up

One more thing i would add is Dalvik Cache is located under the advanced menu.
Took me a minute to find it the first time.
