lack of themes?

---

What's with the lack of themes for the magic when compared with the g1. As far as I know g1 themes do not work with magic so why are there not many ports of g1 themes.

Anything that's compatible with Cupcake should work fine the Magic, I had not problems installing quit a few themes. My phones rooted now so i don't have it themed any more just running Hero ROM, much nicer.

I'm using r4 ion and when I tried to flash the hero 1.45 theme it just won't get past the hero bootscreen. Any ideas? Also what hero Rom are you using?

no G1 theme will run on top of magic. That is why it is bootlooping. We need the makers of the roms to provide us with theme templates before be can make themes- unless you want to theme a full version (which is what i do before installing).

What do you mean by theme a full version?

the full 50mb version instead of a theme template is just 13mb or so. the theme template when applied ony updates those in appa and a few framework files update (thats all thats in there)- i am gonna have a go at making 1 tonight- got a few pointers from Cyanogen.

any status update?
Following this subject with interest.

It takes time and patience to make a theme, but it's doable. Here's some pics of what I've been up to the past few days. I know there are already some other Buuf Icon Themes for the G1, but I started from scratch because I was bored. Here's some screenshots. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to change the lock screen, I'd like to put a big battery icon on it like in themes for the G1.

Oh yeah, and to give credit where credit is due:
