Homebrew [Question] How do I install multiple .cia themes?

[Shadow#1]

Just asking... why not?

Theme limit

 

[Shadow#1]

Hm... you suggest it's just better to stick with the dumped format then? (Now that I think... it wasn't really necessary to reapack them as one .cia)

Exactly

Theme limit

Well... that's a fair point actually.

I always say the right and correct point

All right, thanks everyone for the help!

Just asking... why not?

Also, another thing is that for me the .cia makes some conflict with my paid themes, unless I dump those themes and I add them into the bigger .cia using the Howling Tool I will get some issues with the themes erasing themselves and giving some weird errors with the theme shop. So, I'm going with the dumped format using Themely from now, thanks everyone!.

Don't use themely to install themes

Hm, what's wrong with Themely? It's outdated or something? It works fine for me at least...

No your mistaken it does not work fine for u as it has the BGM loop bug the only theme installer that has it fixed is Anemone

Got it, I will just use Themely for dumping themes and use Anemone for installing, thanks!

you can use fbi to install cia themes. there's a limit of 100. more will install, but it will force you to delete additional themes when you go to change them. I don't know why anyone would pack more than 100 themes though.

That's why .cia themes is not the recommended format

Also, the theme CIA automatically gets deleted anytime you visit eShop or Theme Shop. And it's super slow to navigate on the stock theme manager if you have way too many themes.

Hello, my issue is that I have some .cia themes that works fine on my console, but I can only install one at the time, and they are all .cia files.
So, when I install another .cia theme, the old one gets rewritten, and if I install one .cia theme alongside some paid themes from the theme shop, I either get an error code (that's easy to fix, I just need to delete the data on dara management) or the themes gets erased or something like that (It's a bit confusing).
So... what can I do here? I saw an app called Howling Theme Tool which I thought it could work to create a big .cia file with all my themes on it, but then I realised that the tool is not actually compatible with .cia files... what are my options? Thanks in advance!

There's a way actually, though might not waht you think of, and is somewhat quite painful as well.... There are two packed cia files out there that contains all the official themes in them, and you can install them both at the same time. However, 3DS console can only contain 100 themes at a time, so you need to manually delete at least over 200 (maybe over 300, I can't remember clearly) themes to access the ones you actually want. That could really take some time.
And due to legal reasons I can't provide the files or the link, but I just checked, they're still out there, so just google "Official 3DS themes" and you should be able to find them.

I've found all links for those collections dead Turd. More than 2,000 themes gone for good as far as I've found.

Kind of late, but try noShop on Google, I got all the oficial japanese, european and american themes from there. Some even with alt versions.
