I'm currently running Cyanogen 5.08 on my N1 and decided to try the Metamorph application. I was having trouble finding any themes that said they were 5.08 compatible so I decided to try one that was listed as 5.06 compatible but after rebooting I kept getting force close messages so obviously something went wrong.
I'm new to Metamorph and just followed the intructions of unziping and then installing the theme.
I'm really interested in the Kspec theme but interested in any that might work on 5.08. Do I need to install them a different way because I am using CM? Thanks for any help on this.
For CM 5.0.8 or 5.0.7 just remove any xml's from the theme before you apply it. Since these 2 versions of CM have the abilities to change notification/status bar text colors you don't need those xml's. At least you could do this until the particular themer updates their theme.
Just remove all xml's and leave *only* the images.
If I delete all xml files how do I install the theme? Don't I need to select the main xml file to select within the Metamorph application when it asks me which theme to install?
Does this mean just delete the xml files embedded in the different folders?
Thanks
No, deleting the xml is definetely false.
Delete the services folder in the theme and the folder /framework-res/res/layout folder.
In Cyanogen 5.0.8 you can change the text colour in spare parts.
Or you will have a look in my themes. They all work with this rom, too.

you know? I'm still on cm5.0.6 for GlassBar but now I can move to cm5.0.8
before I tried to change clock and date color but I have to use windows OS to
do that Bcuz I dont find xml editor on linux
thanks
Ok I tried using glass bar but I'm still having problems. Its begins to install but when it gets to "Applying framework-res.apk theme 7 of 7" it just stays there indefinitely. My phone doesn't freeze or anything or ask me to force close the app so I'm confused.
Could it be that I'm running a custom kernal along with CM 5.08?

just wait tel restart the UI and will apply , if you not got full glass just re-apply
only the last one "framework-res.apk"
Yes, right. It should work.
Play a bit with the applying speed in metamorphs settings.
Or look at the first post. I've added some helping manual with problems at metamorphing in my theme threads.

Does anybody out there know how I can just apply the skinned android keyboard without applying the entire theme?
Thank you.
I had the same question posted in his thread with ni answer yet. All I need to know is which apk the stock android keyboard is...I don't know which one. I'm used to Sense which is clicker.apk for calibration and HTC_IME.
If anyone knows it would be appreciated.
Open he heme in winrar go into the framework.apk in th keyboard image and extract it... get the original theme from enoms thread and put the image in the dame place on that theme
Resign the framework.apk then resign the .zip

I don't have the 1.2 keyboard though. Can't seem to find it searching. Can someone post a link to it or a link to the keyboard apk?
Thanks.
I did this by accident but it works. I flashed CyanogenMod 5.0 Beta 3 and then the Googgle add on. Then I flashed the extra memory zimage. Next I flashed the NexTHEME but found it didn't work with the memory hack. So, I flashed back to CM 5.0 B3 (only CM 5.0 B3, not the Google add on). I ended up with the NexTHEME keyboard skin on CM 5.0 B3. If you flash the Google add on, you will end up with the stock keyboard. I flashed the memory zimage back. Next I used the MetaMorph app and added the black notification bar. I did not wipe between any of the flashes. So far, I've had two random reboots in the last 48 hours. Other than that, things are working very well on my phone.
Okay... open the theme in winrar ... go into system then framework
scroll down until you see framework-res.apk
open it with winrar again... then go into the folder "res" then "drawable-hdpi"
find the files which start with "btn_keyboard"
extract them and then open the original theme that enom has uploaded and do the same proccess, instead of extracting the images copy these ones into it and replace them with the images extracted earlier.
all you have to do then is resign the apk ... then resign the .zip theme
i could do this if i had access to my own computer... maybe tommorrow
I wont have time for the next few days to sit down and move the framework around. Girl is moving in...
Updating to Cyanogen beta 2, then NexTheme, then Cyanogen causes a few too many random reboots. If you wipe everything, update to beta 3, update to the 32 kernal with mem hack, JIT off, I get 0 rebooted and its beyond fast enough.
If you made an update that would be hella appreciated lolittle.

Didn't work.
Can Someone please help me, i always support developers by purchasing apps, please help so i dont have to refund the app.
How long should it take to apply the frameworkres.apk??? its been appling for about 15mins now.
i tried a different theme, and metamorph didnt pick up the .thm file so i converted it, while installing it got to part 3 of 4 and restarted and now looks on different. Any ideas?
Ive tried 3 different themes still cant get the black status bar
if you have the newest metamorph, make sure you have a new style morph aswell, the old ones wont work with new metamorph unless the themer updated their morph

the kustom one. It contains no xml file at all, and the one i created from the .thm doesnt work.
I have the latest metamorph from andriod market v 1.9.8.3
EDIT: metamorph never asked me about busybox is this only need for older versions of metamorph?
anyone ?
Try THIS, credit goes to its creator (Danation @ ModMyMoto) All you have to do is put the .thm file in the same folder as this, then run the program. It makes an .xml file that you can put back in the Morph zip file, then you should be good to go. If it tells you it already has a valid xml file, tell it to make one anyways.
PS- follow the link, the version i uploaded is not the newest one

Hi thanks for your help i appreciated it! I already tried to create the xml file using that program, but when i try to apply it only applies some parts of the theme not the black bar. Ive got chrome icon and messaging icons but no black bar. Any ideas?
Ive tried so many different morphs that are meant ot change my status bar to black but still none that work, it seems to just change the clock font to white, so i can hardly see it. This is really frustrating, i think i better refund metamorph before its too late.
is morph of kspec working for others? Are they using their own made .xml file? is it making their topbar black?
What am i doing wrong? Do i need this busybox?

Love the font but I wish everything was red. The mix of red and green looks a bit strange.
I'm too lazy to edit the htc resources apk... .9 pngs are no fun, and with no /system write access, its a pita to test themes. I need my phone right now and seeing as how vzw is a cdma carrier, its a pain to switch phones. Believe me, the green bothers me just as much as it bothers you guys... but I'm just gonna wait it out till koush ports cm to our phones. Having the source for .9 pngs makes things a lot easier for theming, and I don't want to waste any time.

Hey thanks for everything love all the red...its understandable that certain things will remain green....one thing tho...the date isn't centered properly on the unlock screen. The tab you slide down..
bump for less green... yay for "borrowing" from others. go donate to that guy somehow. Check out first post.
Good to see some of my work getting over to the incredible. As soon as I get some time ill try and port over my themes.
This is a nice and minimalist tweak. Thank you.
2 questions:
1) If I load just the framework file, will the stock Droid fonts stay in use? (would prefer those over your modded version)
2) Any chance you'd consider doing a blue version? I think the blue mixed with the un-editable sense green would go a little better than the red.

Is there a screen shot I can view? I put in a request (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806844) for my own set, but the developer is busy creating his own theme.
Calkulin has an Incredible rom out. Check the development thread. It has those same icons. I'm too much of a noob but someone might be able to rip them out of there...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803331
I created the same topic. I guess I missed this one! The colored notification icons would be beast!
If some would let me know where there stored I can pull them and try to make a metamorph file to patch them into any Rom..
Yes, please please do this. I would like them too.
I can't download his Rom. If anyone would like to download it and make a mirror I can get to work on it. Idk why its not letting me download......
i dled it no problem, looks like each notification icon is built into the apps apk, ie the gmail notification icon is located in the gmail.apk
most of them are located in the framework-res.apk.
edit: so i pulled all the ones i saw, i can never seem to MM to work so i dont make the themes but ill post the images if someone wants to make it
i labeled the folders so you know which APK they came from
again this is NOT a theme, it is just the icons in folders
In system-framework-drawablehdpi

Are you referring to the small icons on the top left of the main window of the screen shots of the ROM? Those are from the apk's.
Ok so I made a mm theme for the icons. I will work on the gmail and others once I get home. Just unzip this into your mm theme file and go. Make sure you have a backup because I don't have away to reverse this yet.

It is a MM theme. Download Metamorph. Make sure that you have S-off or MM will not run. Take the download the file put it on your sdcard in the Androidthemes dir. launch mm click on the buttom to the left to unzip the file then click on the button to the right to apply the theme.

Hey everybody, this is my first post here.
I recently installed Rubix Focused and the Linear theme for it. All is well and good except that some of the edit menu icons are themed and some are not. This really bugs me and I wanted to change them all back to the stock icons. I've found the icons inside of the framework.apk inside the linear theme zip, but when I replace them via 7zip and try to reinstall the theme, they aren't changed and my phone pretty much flips out.
Also some of the icons for other programs (Gmail, others) are also changed, I'm assuming whatever would work to fix the ones inside the framework apk would also work for changing out the icons in those specific apps.
So how do I go about doing this? I thought it would be a simple fix but I'm thinking I'm missing something during the process.
If you use the rubix zip u flashed...
Open it up with 7zip and pull ouy everything but the framwork-res.apk
Then reflash the new zip. I believe u can do this...read it in this forum somewhere...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Would I be reflashing Rubix's framework or the theme's (Linear)? The modified icons came from the theme installation.
Use the rubix framework if you want them to look like the stock rubix icons.

I replaced the icons in the theme with the icons I wanted and replace the framework file in the original theme's zip and deleted everything else, keeping the file structure to the framework file intact. It freezes whenever I try to install it now.

Alrighty, I ended up getting something to work. I used another simple theme mod's zip file and replaced the framework file with mine and installed fine. I'm guessing it had to do with signage or something.j Would life have been made easier if I used apk manager?
Yes, if you are just replacing images, apk manager would probably make life easier...
Sorry I didn't think to mention this before... was just trying to think of the easiest method to get you back to where you wanted to be in terms of look/feel.
