This is not my work but I know theme junkies will appreciate it, originally posted by Dzol CP over at xda...

OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049735

Modded theme engine/theme Chooser for CM9/10+ for mdpi to run hdpi/xhdpi themes. Automatically addresses the dpi/and improper compile messages/issues when applying themes not intended for mdpi devices. Much easier than swapping screen density with every new theme application. Tested and verified with both market themes and non market themes:)

Known Issues:
May lose theme "preview" inside the theme choser.
The theme icon may also change. (Noticed mostly on non market apps)


**SOME x/hdpi themes using PA or CM10 dialer layouts may look wonky(MIUI Darkness for example)** lol :p

Here's the zip...

INSTRUCTIONS:
Make a backup!!!!
Wipe cache/dalvik and flash in recovery
Profit

**Some CM9 extras you may like.**

Small Gapps...

Use this in place of the standard gapps package after a fresh ROM flash.

This will give you a smaller download it includes just the basics Google Services and Play and require you to download all Google market apps. This will free up room in your system partition because all the apps and their eventual updates will be stored in data/app versus system/app. :D

Additional mods can be found in Androidhack's thread found here...

They include a center clock mod, JB keyboard and a trimmed stock trebuchet launcher.

If this helped hit the thanks button. :D
 
Even though i don't use theme chooser themes often, i really appreciate the work you're putting into this device :)

Its my kids phone so I'm trying to get him pimped out lol...plus I've seen a whole lot worse entry level devices get more love. I read a lot...look for fixes/mods that are universal and put out a theme or two, no big deal. Besides I don't ever contribute to the N4 community because there's simply a ton of stuff already. Thanks for the...thanks lol. :thumbup:

Working on a proper navbar mod. Just need to scale down the images and disable backlight in soft keys. :)

If you want to use the stock navbar now and are not concerned about the back lights of the soft keys or the size just add this line to the end of your build prop and reboot.
