Here is my first try and theming swype. Iam using it with the swype apk thats floating aroung in here. The only part that i havent been able to figure out how to change is the actualy tracing line on the screen, its still in the default blue color but i would love to know how to change its color.

It's a morph that will only work with the free version of metamorph since it only has a .thm file.
Thanks, just unzip the contents into your android themes folder and install with metamorph
Looks good, but my Metamorph (free) won't load it.

same here...
it Works fine.all you need to do its change the input back to swype because changing the theme causes it to switch to the android default keyboard. Did You unzip the contents and install using the metamorph theme file? In your sdcard you should have android themes/swype_black_n_blue/ then inside you should see the .thm file and folder. Are you guys also using the swype that was floating around here?
I'm using the actual Swype Beta, and I had originally just tried it from the .zip. When I extract it to Android themes and try to load it from the existing themes(even after replacing it) MM says "the target systems/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk does not exist, skipping"

Its because metamorph only works in system/app/ atm so u have to push your swype.apk to that folder.
Yeah, I didn't take the route of pushing the apk back into the phone. Kinda sucks no one has got it working.
Re: Swype Theme
Works fine for me. Just push swype to /system/app and it works without a hitch. Looks great! Can I request a buuf theme?
Glad to hear out works for you. Buff theme? Dont really know what that is, lol
It would end up looking something like this:
That's the Buuf themed HTC_IME that gIMpSTa made. Buuf is a pretty popular theme theme that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574139
Good job, I'm working on a black and white theme so the keys are all black with white letters. I will prob just have it as a apk to install but meta morph might be my 2nd attempt at other colors...keep up the good work!
works great. had to remove the folder nesting though.
how about HTC's keyboard look?
The buff theme looks real cool, ill go ahead and work on that tonight, as for the htc theme ill also put that on my list. Does anyone care to try and figure out how to change the color of the tracing line? i figure that its in one of the xml files but iam having a hard time accessing them.

I dont understand, what do you mean by moving the apk to system/app. all you need to do is unzip the file into your androidthemes folder then apply the .thm file using metamorph. then your all set.

Mind sharing those icons? just a zip of icons only i can do the rest
idk lol but i would love some new ones
I changed some of my icons here to mix it up a bit.
Here is a pic of the icons that were changed. Some are from the 2.1 ROMs and the others from the desire ROM. The apks are the original 1.5 apks so it will not add blue at all like the 2.1 icons zip found somewhere on here. It will look and work the same as now just different icons.
Download put on root of sdcard and flash from recovery. Nandroid backup Before just incase blah blah blah

I have almost all the ones i know of maybe i missed a few. If i did let me know.
Here is a zip of the desire and 2.1 icons at 48x48 as most are 72x72 normally
This is not an update.zip file and cannot be flashed it is only the icon.png files for anyone that does not know do not try to flash it.
Download Link
ok so there is a link for a flashable zip for the icons I made really fast they are built off of fresh 1.1 so if you use it you will have the blue highlites (I personally like them) and then I am adding a NON FLASHABLE zip of just the icons for those that want to do it them selves.
Flashable update zip here
I searched through this forum and didn't find anything so here ya go!
Is there a morph or something similar that will change the stock black background of the default News and Weather widget and make that black background transparent? I only ever use the weather part if that makes a difference.

Okay, pardon the complete noobness on my part, but how do I install/apply this? The only modifying I've ever done is straight through Metamorph...
its a metamorph theme...just extract the folder inside the zip to the androidthemes folder then apply it..
Thanks for the theme, but I was unable to install it. It said metamorph could not , because a file was missing.

I'm feeling kinda dumb here. This is my first time using metamorph.
I removed the nested folder and rezipped, but still get that same error.
The folder structure is as so:
TransparentGenie.zip
|
geniewidget (folder)
.nomedia (file)
TrebsparentGenie.thm
Inside geniewidget folder there is:
res/drawable-hdpi/(bunch of pngs)
I press the unzip/extract new theme and select the zip and it still gives me the same error. Am I missing something?
this is easier, modded apk (froyo)

Or Neutraface?
Actually, if anyone has any alternate fonts that'd be cool. I can't seem to find any good font threads... at least not for the incredible.
If you need a custom font, I'll be glad to attempt it for you.
+++++
NOTE:
I state now, in advance, that I've managed to install my own fonts on my device, using files I've personally modified, generously provided under the Incredible Revolution thread: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772973)
I take no credit for any products contained in any files I post or transfer to you, though I would wish I could give due credit to the creators, and if for some reason your Inc goes kaput, its not my fault, sorry.
It does frustrate me to see that some mods work flawlessly on some Dinc's and some don't. For what its worth, I've never bricked a phone and every mod, when followed exactly as people write it, that I've installed on my Dinc has worked fine.
+++++
PM me the name of the font you want to use and I'll give it my best shot. Links to download the selected font will help immensely, and most likely get you a response much faster.
Thanks!

I just added Metamorph to Gummy GBE 1.8 so that I could add the custom screen transition animations posted over at droid forums. It works!
In case anyone is interested, here are the transition animations. They're great... They can also be added through the theme kitchen, but the Metamorph method seems easier. You can change between them without transferring files back and forth from your computer each time.
Didn't really care for the 4g icon with GC so I used NinjaMorph to change it.

It will be in the system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi... then SHOULD be the file labled status_bar_backround.... but it hasn't worked for me. Worked EVERY time on the DX.
EDIT: And just like that... I'm able to edit it. It helps if you already have a custom theme... For instance... the custom theme changed my notification bar... so when I went into the drawable-hdpi folder I just looked for a file (near the status_bar_backround) that looked like the notification bar. Then selected it and then selected the file I wanted to swap it out with... Now to find the backround file I need to change the pulldown menu backround.

Heres an idea. Instead of using ninjamorph to swap out system/Framework-res.apk Why not get yourself a flashable zip file and extract it. Now take out the contents(keep the META FILE). All we are after is the zip file. Now copy your framework-res.apk to the zip file under system/framework. Now use ninjamorph to edit the framework-res.apk from within the .zip file. Once changes are made let ninjamorph swap out the framework-res.apk and just zip the file and flash. The changes should stick. A little confusing but ive tried and it works.......

Yeah, I've been thinking there is a bettter way. Don't know where to get/how to make a flashable zip file. I will have to research that a little more. It would DEFINITELY be so much easier if I could just extract all of the files out to my computer, swap them out "repack" them and flash through ninjamorph. Gotta get some free time to figure that out.

No transparent is not black. But the guide there tells you how to change it. It's task that takes 5 minutes of editing in Gimp/PS (took me 5 mins in Photoshop).
Ah - photoshop is out of my league!
I think uot must have the option, I'll add it to list of things to do when I get back home!

It will not work with uot. You need to manually modify the files as said in the thread there. Otherwise keep on with white on stock rom.

I also think there must be another way. when I start the phone, the status bar is indeed black, then yes it changes to white after use. you should be able to prevent just that the color changes! I though the picture alters the change will take place anyway, and then the font color is still dark and therefore not to read
