This happens because the theme you uploaded are not compatible. They do not have build in the theme.xml which is a required parameter. Contact theme developers and request them to add the build to theme.xml or put the build on your own.

What I notest and what I understand its that most part of the themes are not compatible or there is some bugs with 1.8.1.


What you can do is install a test site 1.8.1 and keep the live one 1.8.0 until all/or some bugs/issues been solved.


Because there is lot of themes, and the developers of those themes need to make some fixes/make them compatible, or we need to do it by ourselfs... 


One more thing to learn! We just need to be patient! 


Also, always make a backup of your web site! My luck is having the backups, I think I restored to 1.8.0 about 10 times becase of the new update, if not, I had to make it all from zero. lol

Tiwakar, do you still experience the issue with the theme activation? 

If so, PM me your FTP access details, phpmyadmin access details or just Cpanel access details, as well as admin website access details, I'll take a look at the issue, as we cannot reproduce the issue on our side.

The issue is fixed, please check, the update has not been successfully completed. I did that again, now the themes can be selected and activated. 
Carlos Pires Corrente
Is this something that people need to do it manually themselfs or there is any link or any tutorial for each one try to solve this thing?

I'm sorry Carlos, are you referring to the update or the problem you have with the theme upload?

If update then these instructions: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/24134

If the problem you have with the theme upload you need to add <build> in the theme.xml file. You can open some default Oxwall theme and the theme you're having the problem with and compare it's theme.xml file you'll see what the build is.
