[averma1]

Let me know if you want me to post your theme or have a request
**DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!**



Download a theme from 2nd post and come back here for install directions - READ EVERYTHING BEFORE INSTALL

If you follow all directions properly this should be capatible with all roms


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1
A. Framework-res.apk extraction
1. Download Terminal Emulator from market
DO THIS WITH TERMINAL!
type following with an enter at end of each line

su
cp -f /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard


B. Framework-res.apk mod
1. transfer framework-res.apk from sdcard to your computer

**KEEP A COPY FRAMEWORK-RES.APK IN A SAFE PLACE FOR CHANGING THEMES OR GOING BACK TO STOCK, YOU WANT TO ALWAYS START FROM AN UNMODDED FILE**

2. rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip
3. download your desired theme and extract the contents
4. open the freamework-res.apk.zip(DO NOT EXTRACT THE CONTENTS! IT HAS TO BE THE SAME ZIP YOU PULLED FROM YOUR PHONE GOING BACK - CANNOT BE A NEW ZIP FILE) and paste in the modified files (make sure they overwrite whatever is in there)



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2
A. Download the package for your rom below
If your rom isn't listed, you can try modding files yourself with using this tutorial:

If your applying themes with a white notification bar (Droid X) all you need is Terminal and/or Root explorer from market

obviously you need to be rooted

and win-rar for windows available here:
WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files

thats it, if your trying to apply a black notification bar theme you'll have to check what programs are needed to modify the services.jar (that is unless one of the pre-made ones works on your phone)
