Not able to get rid of the re-load icon even with auto-play setting

You need to upload the theme via a Network connection  (once uploaded, disconnect the Network and the theme will stay in flash memory) so, before installing them in the gallery … upload the theme via a Network connection / Web Browser

The only way to install a theme without Any Network connection is via Custom Firmware running off a flashdrive (the theme resides on the flashdrive and not in flash memory)

2 points though … you still need Network Connection to Setup the custom firmware (initially) and also if someone nicks the flashdrive, you will lose the theme
