Theme for CM40x

To install a theme on CM 4.0.x:

I am going to assume that you have the Cyanogen ROM up and running and rebooted and all is well...

Download the theme of your choice from:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=450

The theme MUST say it is for the version of Cyanogen's ROM that you are using...

I use the stock hero look from this thread:

Place file on your SD card. No need to rename.

Boot into recovery mode (Hold down power+home until you are in recovery)

Do NOT wipe, or backup.

Just select 'apply any zip from SD', select the theme file, and flash. Reboot

WARNING: You CAN'T uninstall a theme. If you wish to change themes, you MUST wipe and reflash the CM40x ROM and start over. I would suggest NOT doing a backup, as this will delete the backup of the original image done when rooting the phone. Also, the themes MUST be for the correct version of the ROM. A theme for 4.0.1 will NOT work on ROM 4.0.2, and so on. So if you update the ROM in the future, it will wipe the theme on its own, and you must reflash the theme when the correct version comes back out.
