Have a NAND backup of my vWii, and I’m wondering where can I get themes (EUROPE ONLY!) and do that on my vWii. one person managed to do it, so I could give it a try, also, if possible, send me .csm for vWii.

DO NOT do, this stuff is just plain stupid and confirmed as not working and brick causing:
- Following a WII softmod guide. WII and vWII ARE DIFFERENT ! DO NOT USE MODMII ! FULL BRICK ASSURED
- Installing regular Wii IOS on vWii.
Installing non-critical IOS will result in those IOS having very limited functionality and crashing very easily, installing old System Menu IOS (IOS 80 atm) will cause vWii to brick.
- Installing IOS downloaded from NUS with NUSD. NUSD will not sign/encrypt the files correctly.
- Installing IOS extracted from NAND dump. Repacked wads are faked signed.
- Installing vWii IOS on regular Wii. This actually seems worse than the inverse. While Wii IOS maybe actually load up on vWii but still crash when trying anything, vWii IOS on regular Wii will not work at all. Also, users have reported very strange Wii bricks (among them being myself and FIX94) from installing vWii IOS on them, even non-critical ones... I have no clue why they do this, but new IOS for new hardware, there has got to be a reason somewhere.
- Installing vWii IOS wad files on vWii packed from a vWii NAND dump using a program on your PC. The program used to create the Wad file is fake signing the ticket. While it install fine and seems to works fine on vWii, it bricks the Update feature of the WiiU Mode, and prevent reinstalling The Homebrew Channel on vWii!
- Installing IOS, or deleting IOS that you do not want anymore, or re-installing a WAD version of the IOS if you didn't use YetAnotherBlueDumpModto create it.
- Modifying vWii System Menu in any way, including priiloader or "themes". Do not modify the System Menu's .dol, it has extra encryption that has not been publicly cracked yet. Also cannot install priiloader for the same reason. Since vWii System Menu is not the same as regular Wii's System menu, regular Wii "themes" are not compatible, and will brick vWii. AFAIK there are no vWii themes released at this time, and I myself am unsure about making or installing my own myself, as I have not tried it yet.

- Deleting The Homebrew Channel if it doesn't work anymore. The homebrew channel is not working because you messed the IOSes. The Homebrew Channel is working fine, do not ever delete it! it's your most easiest way to restore and fix a bricked vWii. If you delete The Homebrew Channel, it will be harder to fix your console.
- Deleting Forwarder Channels if you bricked your vWii. Same as The Homebrew Channel, a forwarder can be found useful to unbrick your console. Don't delete ANYTHING if you think your console is not working. Ask to other users on the forum first. It will save your console.
- Trying to do or install anything at all if you do not know what you are doing, seriously, read up and learn about everything before attempting to mod anything, this should be a given!

Thank you for Reading.:)

if you really want to try to theme vWii, do it on a neek emuNAND copy, not on your real console's files.
I don't remember if it's possible, Diddy (from wii theme team) might now better :)

go into usbloaderGX, settings, features, dump NAND.
it'll make a copy to sd:/nands/01/
you can change the path first in the settings>user path if you want another location.

to run it under neek, follow the tutorial link on the post above.
if you need more info to install/setup neek, you can read here (note that it's the wii version! lot of steps are useless for vWii): https://gbatemp.net/posts/6592730

use @MattKimura 's guide, which doesn't use that app as it's wii only.

you don't really need to know where the app is, because you don't have to replace that file manually.
follow mattkimura's guide and run the python scripts to extract/patch/replace the file automatically while being on WiiU mode (not vWii mode!).
