As a user, I would prefer theme manager. That way, you can switch back to stock. Restoring a backup isn't the same. Then I have to boot up and restore any new/updated apps and restore important data. It's just not worth it so unless I think I'll stay with a theme until I have to update my ROM, I'm unlikely to flash a theme.
Themers: T-Mobile theme engine or flashable zip?
Hey, I run cm7, I love design and graphics, so I'm thinking of getting into theming.
I have a rudimentary knowledge of how both methods work, and I'm not afraid of Google, and learning new things. I just want to know, which do you prefer for cm7 themes?
My assumptions:
Tmo theme engine:
Pros:
Easy testing / swapping
If you make a mistake, all your stock data is still intact
easy for users to apply
Cons:
Hard to compile APK's
Need to have githib setup etc... (already use Linux, so its cool)
Some problems with pngs I've heard?
flashable zip
Pros:
Easier to learn?
Easy to adapt to multiple roms?
Easier to put together?
Less programming needed?
Cons:
Have to flash through recovery
Not as easy to un-do...
??
What are your thoughts?
