Root roms and themes

[reefrecon]

is there a difference between a rom and theme? if yes than does the theme install the same way that a rom installs?

Yes, a ROM is firmware for your phone and a theme is kinda like a skin you put on a ROM. They are flashed the same, but you have to make sure the theme is compatible with the rom.

welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!
moved you over to the rooting section.

there is a big difference between the two.

a rom you can flash by itself but if you just flash a theme, it will not work as it only has parts of the rom. it is not a whole rom.

for themes you only need to wipe dalvik cache and cache to flash it.

edit: like windsoclarenc stated you need to make sure that you have right theme for the right rom. most themes can be found on the op for the rom.
