FAQ

Written by ExtremeT. 16 comments Posted in: Uncategorized

Q) This theme doesn’t work.

A) Yes it does. As mentioned you can not load any theme by themselves. You must do it through whatever home replacement app you are using. Most home replacement apps you just need to long press the screen and select either settings or themes installed and pick the theme you want to load after you’ve downloaded it and it’s installed. It’ll load automatically once you’ve selected which theme you want to use.

Q) Do you sell themes outside of the Android market for people who don’t have access to paid apps just yet?

A) Yes. Eventually if there is a demand for it I’ll add a shopping cart or links for purchasing my paid themes on this site. Until then, just send me an email and we will set something up either through Paypal or Google Checkout.

Q) This won’t download therefore it doesn’t work etc etc.

A1) If it is a free theme/app/whatever it’s more than likely just market lag or connectivity issue so just try again in a bit. It is NOT the app/theme/whatever you are trying to get from the marketplace. It is impossible for a packaged theme/app/whatever to affect the downloading of items from the marketplace. Leaving 1 star on any dev’s applications because of something out of their control sucks.
A2) If it is a paid app/theme/whatever it could be what was mentioned above. Also google can take up to 3hours at times to process and verify a payment thru checkout. Even though the download button shows you won’t be able to download anything until it goes through with the payment. Lastly, if your payment is declined it’ll still show you the download button for up to 7days to give people a chance to correct whatever the issue was with the payment being declined. Again, it has NOTHING to do with the app. Before leaving a crappy rating for something the dev can’t control, email them and ask them if this is what is going on.

Current Home Replacement Apps that support aHome themes are listed below. You must have one of these installed to use a theme of any kind.
- aHome
- aHome Mini
- FreshFace
- Open Home
- Panda Home
- DxTop
You must have one of these installed to use themes. You can not use themes without one and trying to launch a theme by itself will do nothing.

Q) Will these work on my Droid/Clip/Mytouch/etc etc?
A) Yes. In fact the type of phone pretty much doesn’t matter as long as it has the Android OS on it and one of the appropriate apps installed to be able to use themes.

Q) How do I use the Keyboard Skins?
A) Just make sure you have the app called ‘Better Keyboard’ installed otherwise it will not work. When you have it installed just go into Better Keyboard’s settings and scroll down till you see the option for keyboard skins. Select that and then select the theme you wish to use, it’ll load automatically from there.

    Hi,
    I’m very interest to buy your theme outside market. My email is jr_gtp@yahoo.co.th . Here is i’m interesting in Tribal gold, military and sleeky red.

  6. ExtremeT says:

    I won’t be selling those particular themes in or outside of the market until they are properly updated, until then they are temporarily ‘retired’. When they are updated they will be available both on the market and outside of it.

  7. jessada says:

    Can you estimate when available? That would be great if I have your theme.

  8. ExtremeT says:

    More then likely in a couple of weeks, after christmas so like the first week of jan..also depends on how soon I get the two projects I’m working on done. If I get them done soon it’ll be before then.

  13. tori says:

    How do I install these home replacement apps I don’t even know where to look… it all looks the same

  14. ExtremeT says:

    Well the most popular ones are aHome, Open Home, and Panda Home. You can search the market for them by opening up the market and start typing the name of the app you want to find. This will automatically open up a search box. Just finish typing in the name and hit enter and the app you are looking for will be in the search results list.

  15. dave says:

    Hey, really like the tribal theme….but how do I change the wallpaper using openhome? Is it complicated or am I just stupid?

  16. ExtremeT says:

    As far as I know Open Home doesn’t support multiple backgrounds. If they do (a recently added feature) then it’ll be somewhere in Open Home’s settings or in the default wallpaper option when you long press on any home screen.
