You have to put the code in the update script to delete the cached wallpaper, so that it would display the default wallpaper, which would be yours. Im not the king of update scripts though, so I cant tell you the coding off the top of my head...

sweet...thank you.
anyone out there that know the coding in the update script to do that. I think the default wall paper is in the Framework.apk but you dont want to delete that right you want to delete the cached wallpaper

<APP> Rosie.apk with custom home wallpaper

EDIT-------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
ok so right after i posted this i stopped and thought about something. im not sure if your icon placement and widgets and everything you have on the homescreens are in rosie.apk or elsewhere so DONT DOWNLOAD THIS until i get an answer because i will feel really bad if someone does DL this and loses everything on their homescreen.
EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
so please dont bash me for starting a thread with this but i really got annoyed when i added a homescreen wallpaper but the quality was horrible. so this rosie.apk has simply one new wallpaper and it is the first one. it is the google X from the nexus one bootscreen with blue green red and yellow for the X and the rest is a dark dark black.
Install-
download the rosie.apk
open a file manager with root access and copy this rosie.apk over the one in /system/app
really simple but i love the amazing quality. if people want i will replace all the home wallpapers with custom ones. throw me some ides to put in the spots.
hope you all like it
LOL dont the widgets have their own .apk? I believe they do...From what I see there are no widgets in Rosie.apk.
yes
but i mean rosie tells it where to go so unless by some goddly chance they have everything i have in the exact same place then there will be nothin but errors for the widgets.
anybody else have any info?

I was hoping the black wouldn't be so dark
it wont let me copy over to system/app. says system is read only.
why don't I just put the wallpaper on my sd card and set it that way. seems way easier than replacing my whole rosie.

You need to do a adb remount to push it over...And whats the sssh?? LOL I have all my wallpapers on my SD card and its fine for me....
any screenshots?
so still no idea what will happen if you install this over your rosie.apk so if you do MAKE A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL
and screenshot of the background is in the attachments. i love that its true colors and true black the hero screen is great.
anyone download and try yet?

[THEME] [METAMORPH] Darkedge [ with video proof]

Hi all people ...i was just looking around in forums for a nexus one theme but there was not even a single good one out there but ten the Darkedge UI for motodroid got my attention and just wanted to have it on my nexus one so i just downloaded the MotoDroid version of morph and installed on my nexus using metamorph application and guess what it worked as a charm. It does not even lags and yes I have not modded any thing in the zip file.
THIS IS NOT MY THEME AND I HAVE NOT EVEN TOUCHED THIS FILES JUST TRIED ON MY NEXUS AND IT WORKED
THIS THEME BELONGS TO XEUDOXUS
requirments:
CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station (STABLE) [5.0.6]
just install using metamorph as a regular theme file.
I have also uploaded the icon pack of Darkedge. Apply it with Metamorph as a regular theme and it will update all the apps that you have and if you don't have that app then it will skip that task
--"use the nexus live wallpaper but change colour scheme to ZION and background to dark. NOW IT LOOKS PERFECT"
--use the icon pack morph to update the icons
--and the app morph in the original thread is the morph for updating the theme of some applications.......be carefull as some applications such as facebook.....are updated with black background with black text on them.....making it hard to read.

If you have any problem with any of the application then simply apply the theme one file at a time and skip the one that results in FC

OK......this slider in metamorphs settings is.....that it will delay the restart process after the theme is applied.....so if u set the slider too up then it will take very long to start the process resulting in geting stuck.....or if you set it too low....then it will restart too often making it extremely hard to copy all files in system.....and resulting in reboot sequence and eventually you will have to flash the rom again....so keep trying with change in the delay slider.....with gradual changes as if you were overclocking.... ..

not to be that guy, but did you ask for permission from the theme makers before porting this? It's not exactly warez, but it'd be the courteous thing to do.

Doesn't sound like he ported it. Looks like he took a chance of it working on the N1 and is reporting that it does. -- That being said...it'll be cool if someone could port it over as an update.zip!

never happed to me but check your metamorph settings and at the bottom you will see a slider. Try to decrease it and then just apply the framework and see what happens. But dont bring it all the down to 0 or it will reebot often

Not sure what format they need to be in, but here is what appears to be the .psd template for those icons:
http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/android/Android Launcher Pro Custom Icon Template Text Version.psd
They need to be in png format. That file is used to make custom icons with photoshop I believe. Unfortunately I don't have a computer so.. i need the png files.
You all just didn't look hard enough. There is a directory for all of his icons. Took me all of half a minute to find.

The files can be edited in photoshop, the only layers visible should be the text that you want to see as the icon.
After you get them how you'd like, save them as PNG files and copy them to your SD card and you're good to go.
can somebody just turn them into .png n post them plz

Not to sound naive, but why can't u just install that one then?

If it's a sense widget, then you need to adb push it rather than install it.

well i asked a question right before you posted "answer:" and your "answer:" had nothing to do with my question. what an @$$h0le you are. or atleast made yourself look to be. anyways, its not a big deal.
You can follow these steps to pull the smoke news widget out of the smoked theme mentioned. These steps also apply for the news widget. A lot of the time I do not have ADB accessible and this method can be completed with only the phone.
- Save the smoke.zip file to your sdcard (this is the smoke theme already mentioned in this thread)
- Open Root Exporer and navigate to /system/app/ and mount it as R/W
- Move the stock geniewidget.apk to the SD card (/sdcard) in case you want it back later.
- Now navigate to the smoke.zip file, press on it and choose view.
- Navigate to the smoke.zip /system/app/ folder and copy the geniewidget.apk to your phones /system/app folder.
- Most important part now - long-press on the file and click on permissions from the pop-up menu. Permissions should be "read" for user/group/others and "write" for only user. All other boxes unchecked. If you don't do this it wont load.
- Restart phone and the transparent widget should be good to go.
This wont work for all apps - so make sure to keep the originals if you are getting creative. You can apply this across handsets, but try to stay away from system-dependent apps like cameras and power control widgets.

Im the asshole but you answered to something that had nothing to do with you right? I never was answering your question, I was answering to the OP obviously what you do when you post in a thread...you respond to the original post but ok, i guess so... maybe next time.
Anyway, he updated the app again so anybody who decided to use the app in the link i posted, go and update. =)
I'm just about ready to give up. I have been trying for a couple of days to make mine look like the pick I posted. Can't seem to get it done. It's really not that important, just thought it would match the other sense widgets a little better.
This is as close as I could get. For some reason I cannot get rid of that blue background in the widget, must not be editing the right file.

What do you use to modify the settings.apk file?
Thanks. Note to self... Don't release themes right before leaving on vacation... Lol
To change it, I just pulled the settings.apk from my phone then used 7 zip to input the images I wanted.
Edit: please note the images I have swapped are not ones I have created. Its a mash up of numerous images from multiple themes from multiple devs. I never intended to give the assumption I created every part.
I have no skills with photoshop or any other image software. Like I stated in the beginning, all credit goes to the real dev's. I just modded my own files and decided to share them.

Honestly I almost used that one, but compared to the others it just looks to plain.
I found a sweet one, after a google image search, but need someone to make the background transparent.
I think I will put it in for now just to semi finish this one.
