OK folks, after much discussion, the rules regarding theming have been updated. It's important that everybody take a couple of minutes to read this.

*Please notice...As of late we see a lot of playstore links to paid themes popping up. Keep in mind XDA is a development environment and we love to see graphical modifications for our beloved expensive devices. We of course encourage theming using a "sharing is caring" strategy since that's what XDA is all about. And we are trying to keep it this way. XDA is not and will never be a marketing platform, so from now on we will not allow direct links to paid themes on the playstore. Basically these are the rules :


1) No direct links to paid themes.

2) You can mention your theme is available on the play store as "donation ware" if there is a free and exactly similar version on xda.

3) Paid version must stay exactly the same as the free version, update on playstore has to reflect version freely available on XDA.

4) Do not discuss playstore in your thread, but you may add it to your signatuee. (this does not mean you can create an obnoxiously huge banner). Please keep it to a manageable size.There will be no exceptions to these updated rules. Anybody found posting links to your "donation ware" themes on Playstore will be removed, and there will be consequences.

Thank You.
