I have a custom module (just as the API suggests):

function hook_custom_theme() {	
  if(isset($_GET['m'])) {
    return "my_subtheme";
  }
}

This module works so long as 'my_subtheme' is defined, and enabled. And, since it is both defined and enabled, the subtheme works, partly.

I have a page.tpl.php for the subtheme 'my_subtheme'. In this subtheme, I have the following line:

<?php print render( $page['my_region'] ); ?> (#1)

I have the region 'my_region' defined in the [subtheme].info as:

regions[my_region] = My Region

I also have blocks defined in that corresponding region at '[site:name]/admin/structure/block/list/my_subtheme'. However, the mobile page doesn't display render( $page['my_region'] ).

I've replaced (#1) above, with the following:

<?php if ( $page['my_region'] ) {
  print render( $page['my_region'] ) . '<div>yes</div>'; 
}
?>

The page outputs the following content:

yes

However, I do have the following (parallel / siblings in HTML structure):

<div class="clear-block" id="main">
  <div class="region region-[my_region]">
    <div class="block block-views" id="block-views-[my_region]-block_2">
  
      <div class="content">
      </div>

    </div>
  </div>

  <div>yes</div>	
</div>

The above shows that $page['spotlight'] exists, but doesn't properly display, hence the empty

If instead of (#1), I do the following:

<?php print gettype( $page['my_region'] ); ?>

The outputted value on the page is:

array

This time I did the following change to (#1):

<?php print dsm( $page['my_region'] ); ?>

And I was able to construct the following:

<?php if ( $page['my_region'] )
  { 
    print $page['my_region']['views_spotlight-block_2']['#markup']; 
  }
?>

I was tripped up a few times trying to write template files for the 'subtheme'. Remember when acquiring the 'template suggestions', to goto the view > theme information > change theme to get the full template suggestions as defined in:
