Remember people, search is your friend. It won't bite!

In my experience, most theme authors have mini instructions on their first post of the thread anyway.

It's no skin off my back though, in General you do this:
Rename the zip file "update.zip", place in the root of your SD card, turn off phone, hold power and home buttons, ... wait for it to boot into the recovery screen ..., alt + s

Before following these instructions, check on the first post of the thread that has the theme you want to install. Like anything else you do in the recovery console... you could brick your phone... blah blah blah. Use the search if you are confused or in doubt about any of the steps. It has a lot more information than I and infinite patience.

Thanks but, I have tried the search and also did the above what you have suggested. And it freezes at the G1 splash screen. A tutorial should in a sticky if there is one anyways right?

you can only use a theme thats made for the rom you are using on your phone eg. Rc-30 ADP1 RC-33

When you install a theme, will it erase everything?

If i brick, how can i recover my phone

All i do to put a theme on is re-name the theme file to update.zip and alt +s?
