***Informative Information***


  • Install a theme
After you have root, which you can find out how to get Right here, and download a theme:

Installation Instructions:
-Rename it to update.zip and place it on your sdcard.
-Turn off phone and start in recovery mode. (Home + Power)
-Press Alt + S
-Press Home + Back once update is complete
-Enjoy
  • Restore original fonts
Restoring your original fonts is easy just download this:
Font update
Then follow the same instructions above for installation.
  • Posting a new theme?
So you just made your theme and are ready to share your greatest work with everyone?

Just keep in mind a few things:

When you post your theme please start the title of the thread with [ *device* Theme], where Device is the device it was built for. This we know what it is and what is was made for.

Also please include in the title what version it is for, such as RC33, ADP1.1, adp1.5, etc.
Lastly, please use the same thread for multiple versions of your theme. For instance, use the same thread for an adp1.1 version and for an RC33 version.

That's all we ask, thanks for working so hard on your theme and allowing us to use it!
***Informative Threads***

Manuals for creating themes, and questions about creating themes go here.
The information here should further assist beginner themers to discover what certain files do and control within the apks that we generally theme.
Just as the title says. These instructions are for those using windows. Any questions about this should be posted here along with any pictures of your custom boot images.
Just as the title says. This thread contains information on how to install new fonts and some help with making your own fonts. This thread also contains an ever growing amount of fonts that have been made to work on the HTC Dream. If you have questions about fonts, pictures of fonts, or have a new font to post this is the thread to do it.
Just as the title says. This thread contains an ever growing amount of wallpapers that have been made to work on the HTC Dream. If you have questions about wallpapers or have a new wallpaper to post this is the thread to do it.
Just as the title says. This thread contains an ever growing amount of icons that have been made to work on the HTC Dream. If you have questions about icons or have new icon(s) to post this is the thread to do it.
I found a way to edit these images and make them look as good as Google's!

Sorry I thought this would be the best place to put this...

I learned the hard way that JF1.51ADP themes do not work on JF1.51US builds and will put the phone into a loop (i did this twice to verify)... I have not found another sticky that specifies this, so I thought perhaps this one should include that.

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place, just delete this post then.
