I have a share, a real one.
If you select a theme to apply from your sd and it ends up that it is in the wrong format as it's older and the themer never updated it, it offers you the option to have the system reconfigure it to work on new format. Took less than 3 minutes and worked as well as it possibly could as I don't see anything that is glitchy.

I thought it was exceptionally cool and a great idea and implementation.

Yea! Now I have made an actual contribution!
I feel all warm inside
Though that might just be the malaria talking

Who's been spreading these lies that I had a trick for everyone?
I was merely providing a tip, which the thread's title led me to believe, would be fitting here.

Now if I had a trick, that would be dangerous.

Ladies and gentlemen for my next feat I will pull a Chinese man out of my Droid running MIUI!

What I do when applying a theme is use only certain parts from different themes, like a lockscreen from here, icons from there, dialer from here, and so on...........

Ah yes the Frankenstein Theme method, first tried unsuccessfully by a young Slovakian boy.
I say unsuccessfully, as the following day all that remained of the village was dust where residences and shops once stood; Oh and lest I forget, a single chicken which walked and "begawked" along that which was once the main thoroughfare.

Let it be a lesson for us all. Kung Pao, just be wary of your brew.

That's almost equal parts tip and trick! Thus I shall dub thee a triptick. Not to be confused with a triptych, that's a horse of a completely different color.

Yes, and to be clear, it’s inward towards each other like a pinching motion. Love this feature. It was removed a few builds back, but has since been put back in.

If my side still aches tomorrow, the doctor advised I drop by to prevent a full fledged busting of my gut.

Killer!

Chewy you are like the Jaws of out of left field unexpected explosions of humor, always just beneath the surface at the ready for the perfect moment.
DUN UN
You just write some relatively normal posts lulling all into a false sense of knowing what to expect from you,
DUN UN
and just as we're letting our guard down,
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN
you always deliver a knockout uppercut of hilarity. Leaping from the water right onto the boat, "Orca", as the genius of the hilarity swallows us like Jaws swallowing Robert Shaw!

DUN UN

and then swim away under the cover of the oceans black depths!
