I encountered this problem back in v2.7.2 and tried again with the latest v2.8.0. Not a big deal, but it bugs (ha) me.

I am unable to use templates to override the smartpocket theme. When I do, I get strange results like this:

img_6007

If I make the same changes directly to the .tpl files in the smartpocket directory, everything is fine. I'd prefer to use templates though so my customizations aren't lost during upgrades (and that's what the templates are for after all).

I don't really see that as a bug since mobile theme is very specific and is handle differently; if i'm not wrong, you can have only one enabled where as several regular themes can be enabled.
You just have to build a custom mobile theme, child of Smartpocket

Ok, that's fine, but maybe mobile themes should be hidden from the dropdown on the templates page then so people don't try to override them. I'll go the child theme route I guess.

FYI, creating a child theme of smartpocket has helped me work around the problem for now. Thanks for the suggestion.
