Unfortunately I have not been able to run a theme over BB without it breaking something. It seems to be different for everyone, though, so if you have installed a theme over BB, please post your results.

I had to re-install Titanium...but all of my settings (like max # of backups) were retained. Other than that, I haven't had a problem theming BB.
Did you wipe and format prior to installing BB? I had first tried to keep data (that never works ) and I had to fix Flash, C2P, and a few other things before the phone was usable. I tried to theme it after all was working and it re-broke some of those things.
Since I installed BB "the right way"...haven't had an issue with the few themes I've tried (other than it uninstalling TiBu).
I have had trouble with the market, C2P and one of my paid apps. I have no problems on an unthemed BB, only after theming.
I should also mention that when I installed a "fresh" copy of BB, it was after Pete added some fixes (still Version 0.1...but it's "updated"). I don't know if that had anything to do with it?
I have themed my "good" installation with Blue Energy and Black Ice...market and C2P have been working fine.
I'm not disagreeing with you...just trying to deduce why you are having issues where I am not. What themes did you try?
Two things I've noticed. Drop Theme screwed up the market for me. Couldn't download/update any apps.
Also, I keep trying to apply the Team Chaos themes (RR and Blue Ice) and for both I get stuck at the "M" and it never boots. I also give it like 5 min, but nothing happens. Going to try the Clean Black now.
Edit: Clean Black has done the same thing. I just can't get past the M logo and have to restore. I'm on stock 2.2 with P3droid 1Hgz kernal. Thoughts?
Did you wipe data AND format your partitions (boot, system, data, cache) prior to loading your ROM? I believe that most people with issues like this have not done so. If you haven't wiped and formatted...it's going to be my very first suggestion to you. I'm running Blue Ice over Bugless Beast V0.1 and it works fine...so I'm sure it will work with stock 2.2 (FRF57)
For instance, I tried to load Bugless Beast V0.1 without formatting data (to save some time...) and I had all the problems that other people talked about. After I wiped and formatted...The only issue I have is that Titanium Backup keeps trying to uninstall itself (haven't figured that one out yet...just keep installing it from the market). All the other issues I was having are gone.
Well since I have a couple hours of free time before I go into a whirlwind week of work starting tomorrow, perhaps I'll give it another fresh shot. I did wipe the first time I loaded up 2.2, but not after the "second" update. Perhaps it's what has been causing my problems. I'll let you know in a little bit.
I'd be doing the same thing. I'd probably flash the ROM until I got it to take...
Maybe you could try to load a rooted, stock 2.1 ROM and then put 2.2 over top of it without wiping (much like an OTA update would work)???? Just a thought my friend...
No Shit!...why don't they "get" it! My wife has a Droid and I asked her if she wanted me to put 2.2 on her phone and she said no cause she'd lose the Pink Themed CM Remix from JRummy!
You know...I did exactly what you are suggesting to RedFlea...and it worked perfectly...
and hey-whileyou guys are getting the wives together, tell 'em to bring along my girl--she's ready to toss my Droid in the trash!

Did you see my thread on removing vending.apk out of the themes?
Too lazy to look up the thread, lol
After a month of reading and just plain fear, i took the root plunge. I wanted to thank everyone for making the root process so easy. I am loving this rooted phone! I chose a rom by fab, reinstalled open home with win 7 theme, now editing the shortcuts with better cut. Runs smooth, looks great too. Installed setcpu as well, chose 900mhz max, 900mhz min to see how that goes, so far its very stable.
Only issue i had was that i got stuck in a boot cycle after install. I think it was because i did not choose the wipe option during the root install, because when i pulled the battery and re powered the phone holdimg x down, i did a factory reset/wipe, then cleared the cache, selected reboot and everything went perfect and i flashed a rom.
And I'm back...Here are some Screen Shots
Can you share your wallpaper looks cool!
