A small modification in tiapp.xml or androidmanifest.xml can be done to use Holo themes.

   <manifest>
               <application>
                   <activity
                       android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
                       android:label="AndroidPicker"
                       android:name=".YourActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
                       <intent-filter>
                           <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                           <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                       </intent-filter>
                   </activity>
               </application>
           </manifest>
           <tool-api-level>14</tool-api-level>

Or custom themes can be placed inside /platform/android/res/values-11 and values-14 etc. or custom androidmanifest.xml with above changes can be used.

[~msamah] It sounds like Titanium already supports Holo themes: http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Android_Themes-section-34636181_AndroidThemes-AndroidHoloColorsGenerator. If it does, then we should resolve this ticket as fixed and set the fix version to whatever SDK release it was supported. As a reference, Titanium SDK 3.2.0 is the first release with the Node.js Android build.

You are correct. You can just modify the themes to use Holo if needed. Ticket can be closed/resolved.
Chris Barber 2016-08-24

Resolving as fixed. Not sure the exact version it was available, so I'm going to guess 3.2.0.

Closing ticket as fixed.
