how to install new themes

[stevek28]

i sideload gb36.apk and ran appinstaller. I guess this is not the correct way to install a gingerbread theme. I'm rooted (used gingerbreak) but haven't flashed any rom.

How do I go about installed that theme?

Thanks in advance

Normally all themes, kernels, mods are flashed using ClockWorkMod (CWM) and a flashable zip file just like a ROM.

I use IOH recovery. But I don't think you can flash an .apk file. Can I flash it using flashimage GUI?

If its an APK, install it with a file manager, and apply it in the theme Chooser app in the app drawer. Not all themes are flashable. If its an apk, install it. If its a zip, it may be flashable, but always make a copy and unzip it first to make sure they didn't just zip up the apk with some extras.

That theme wont work (or any others) unless you are running a rom that has the T-Mobile theme Chooser. Drop everything you're doing right now and flash a rom! Try harmonia or backside. Both have the theme Chooser.
