_HoloActivity$HoloThemeException: You must apply Holo.Theme, Holo.Theme.Light or Holo.Theme.Light.DarkActionBar theme

I'm using HoloEverywhere-1.6.8.

I have a custom theme that is based upon Holo.Theme.

<style name="JumbleeTheme" parent="Holo.Theme"> ... </style>

I'm getting the crash below but it is only appearing for the following devices:

android.support.v4.app._HoloActivity$HoloThemeException: You must apply Holo.Theme, Holo.Theme.Light or Holo.Theme.Light.DarkActionBar theme on the activity (SplashActivity) for using HoloEverywhere

Has anyone got any ideas on why this is only occurring for such a small subset of devices and what I can do about it?

Because of the way that HoloEverywhere is setup, you need to have your theme be a sub-theme (for lack of a better term) of @style/Holo.Theme

AFAICT there is absolutely nothing wrong with either my code or with HoloEverywhere.

For some inexplicable reason those devices sometimes seem to lose the Holo.Theme attribute from the Activity's style. This causes HE to throw an Exception.

In case anyone else falls into this error this is the work around I am going with.

@Override
protected Holo onCreateConfig(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    final Holo config = super.onCreateConfig(savedInstanceState);
    config.ignoreThemeCheck = true;
    return config;
}

As this will cause HE not to check that a a HE theme has been defined.
