Installing Themes
From CyanogenMod Wiki
Note - You must be running Cyanogenmod before attempting any of these steps. I have only tested this on CM Recovery 1.4, and I am not sure if the themes will install correctly on anything lower (All Amon_Ra recoveries are based off CM-1.4 recovery). You have been warned!!
Note: Cyanogen and the rest of the CM support system are NOT responsible for any problems you have while running a theme. Do not post issues on the tracker if you are running a theme. You may find help in #cyanogenmod for the more popular themes, but please be up-front if you are running one.
Important note: DO NOT flash a theme for a different version of CM, e.g. Enoch 4.2.13 should not be tried on CM 4.2.14.1
[edit] Directions
It is strongly recommended that you perform a Nandroid backup before flashing any theme.
- Download a theme you like. Some popular ones are Enoch X, sir*mez, nebrada, Barina and gChrome. Make sure you download the correct one for your CM version!
- Copy the zipped theme file to the root of your SD card.
-
Flash to it like you would a CM upgrade:
- Enter Recovery Mode by starting up the phone holding Home+Power, then hit "Apply any zip from SD" and choose the theme zip. Allow it to finish (you may not get a 'finished flashing' message and it'll sit at 'Formatting Cache'; once you can see the menu, you can reboot).
[edit] Theme Uninstallation
If you decide you don't like a theme or want to go back to stock for any reason, re-flash the 1.6 base (to untheme the google apps/icons) and the latest version of CM (no need to wipe). Or, you can restore the nandroid backup you made before installing the theme, keeping in mind that any data/settings/etc. created since making the backup will not be saved.
