Rom vs. Theme

[chikibabe]

Can anyone help me by explaining what the difference is? And whether it makes a difference if you have the OTA 2.2 or leaked 2.2 in order to install either?

Thanks so much!

Well, I guess the simplest way to explain it would be this way:

ROM = Complete custom replacement/modification of the operating system

Theme = Modification of graphic files (for the most part) to change the look of the operating system

Hope that helps.

even simpler lol

theme changes look, while rom is usually look AND features.

I think of it like a car.....

Android is the chassis

ROM is the body

Theme is the paint and trim......
