If you are a MoKee OpenSource user, you will realise that the theme chooser is borked since MK43. Themes that used to work can't be used anymore, and if applied, the whole system will crash. A few months has passed since then, and now, we are glad to say that the solution is HERE AT LAST!!! 
The Problem:
In MK43, we separated some parts of framework-res.apk into mokee-res.apk to ease development. However, this also broke theme chooser. Themes cannot find the resources they want to redirect anymore, but the weird thing is, certain themes could still function normally. So the long journey of debugging started, but no results....till recently, we found this:
https://code.google.com/p/tmobile-themes/wiki/NewGlobalThemeEngineDesign
The main point is at:
After decompiling a few problematic themes, res/values/public.xml was found to be populated with 0x02. The T-Mobile Theme Engine originally accepted only 0x0a, but CM made some changes so that others can be accepted as well. However, due to the major changes in MoKee, the changes lost its effect. Therefore, we have to revert to the default 0x0a. To achieve this, we need to recompile the theme APKs with custom made apktool and aapt.
