Custom themes.

[SystmDcln]

I have been wanting to change the theme on my G1, I recently rooted it and installed the Cyogen mod, but I have been looking for a better theme. I have tried FreshFace and Ahome, and I can't stand how it's really just a fancy layover, it's slow and just feels clunky. Are there any custom builds that are efficient with custom themes? Or are there ways to install custom themes without using an application that just lays over the original?

Awesome. Very useful link. I have gone and read over it, and now I have tried to install a theme and have ran in to a problem. As I said I am running the most up to date Cyogen mod. I named the theme update.zip and put it on the SC card and rebooted, installed it and now my phone won't go past the "T-Mobile G1" screen..went to recovery mode and wiped/factory reset and reinstalled cyogen and the theme..same problem...phone works fine until I try to add the theme.

The last thing I Read on Cyanogen Build 4.0..... his warning was not to install any themes ... that are not specifically built for that exact version or you may meet the death of your phone ...
