I have a few questions about theming apps. I don't know much about Android apps, but was thinking about looking into theming some. Before I do, I want to find out if it is worthwhile or if it will be constant re-theming after every update.

When an app is themed (like the Revolution Facebook version for example)
  • Can it be updated through the market or released APK?
  • If updated through the market, will it be overwritten when the app updates?
  • Do market updates only change the pieces needed or do they replace the whole app?
  • Are themed apps always complete versions or are they sometimes just the images and other parts that were themed?
