i'm on CM 5.0.5.3 and every single time i do a morph that changes the services/framework it removes the custom trackball colors and forces it to be white.
Even though the option is still in the menu, no matter what color i change it to, it stays white.
One one morph, it also screwed up SMS popup making it light up white first, before the custom color.
I would really love to use the custom statusbar i made but being unable to change the color is a huge turn off for me.
So does anyone know how to fix this?
*edit*
these were the two morphs i used and got the same issue both times:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6029657&postcount=4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6155781&postcount=20
So there is the wrong framwork in the theme.
In framework res is it for the trackball colours and metamorph brings it new.
yeah thats what another person just told me. So how exactly can i fix/get around this?
I don't know.
One of your posted ones is from me.
The Problem on the cyanogen rom is, that there are three or four different fremaworks.
One with trackball lit, one with the percentage of battery, one with both, one with nothing.
For me as a MCR User it is too much work to get it all on so much different ROMs.
At second is the problem, that the new cyanogen classes.dex isn't properly themeable.
So I think, it will not work.
Sorry. If anybody has a good idea, please share it!
so basically there seems to be no way to fix this. So the only way i get a blue trackball is to have not use any theme. that ****ing sucks.
Be aware of morphs that include a classes.dex file next time. If one does include it make sure you know what mods have been made before applying that part of the morph/apply-all.

so is it the classes.dex or the framework xml files that are causing this?
Honestly all i want is to have a black bar with working trackball. i don't know why this seems impossible on cyanogen.

It's not impossible, You would just have to get a themed update.zip that has it all included. Metamorph for the notification bar will not be the best due to the issues you have found! I use metamorph on my widgets but flash update.zip to change framework for the black bar...try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640707
hope that helps!

Biggest reason why i use metamorph is because i like combining all kinda of images, including some i make myself into my own theme.
So i flashed that and rebooted. Nice blue trackball. Then opened up my morph and erased everything except the images and morphed that. And now it's perfect. white text where it's suppose to be, colors looking perfect and my custom theme ontop of it.
Never thought of just morphing the images i wanted over a flashed theme lol. Works pretty good. thanks for helping me figure this out.
Desire notification bar works too, and it looks better than the other blacks.

Whenever working with .jar, I find it is best to flash those in recovery that have been made from the specific ROM you are using, so that you get all of the features from it. I leave metamorph up to just doing images, since it is easier and compatible with more ROMs that way.

BEFORE DOWLOADING READ CAREFULLY. THIS PROCEDURE WORKS FOR ME AND MY BUDDIES I TEST WITH & I DO NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY TIME WASTED DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS SUPPLIED BY ME IN THE OP:
(there has been confusion about the changes in the new rom, consequently forcing me to edit the mod)
sorry about any issues everyone. let me clarify a few things while i answer some questions along the way. I tested both of these myself and spent all day getting my new mod to work with 27#1 and 27#2. between ALL the nightlys and the RC1 i have NEVER done a COMPLETE wipe. I got 4.2 and 4.3 to work with my 27#1 & 27#2. SInce all these issues that i cannot recreate, i will limit the use of 4.2 & 4.3 to everyone above release 27#2 to avoid further problems. i need more help testing to figure out what is going on for everyone else. i listed my procedure and thats how ive done it from the beginning and ive never had to wipe my data and have only had fc's with a program that i removed which did not come with cyanogenmod. so def. not cyans rom;my own fault. I will change the op to say 4.2 and 4.3 will only work on 27#2 until i can test further. i worked till 835pm thru 22 bootloops to finally figure out the issue and get them to boot on top of my 27#2 which i flashed ontop of 26 which i flashed ontop of 25,etc....flashing my mod inbetween every rom install to get all my addons back.

hello, when i woke up this morning and saw the awesome news i couldnt help but do what i do. so i themed my favorite kb cyan to match the cyan rom. im still testing it. i put this together so that anyone who wanted to flash just one rom and get everything else they needed in one more flash(if they wanted the xtras) plus a few other utilities that we are used to(a little remnant from sense as well). this is the version with google craps built in. thats most of the addition. the rest are small other than the sweet new kb. man cyan looks sooo much better than green. iim still editing MY own setup now. I will update this accordingly. the pack will include the new cyan kb, and the googles. I take no credit for anything here other than theming the swype, adding a bunch of files to their corresponding folders,signing, flashing,testing, and then ul'ing. I forgot to mention, i added flash 10.1 blahblah(it works awesome) and wifitether works too(see screens below) i was going to theme the adw, but im still deciding. if i do it will be a white transparent rather than smoke. maybe later today EVERYONE thank CYANOGEN, this is awesome.....

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Push to Recovery
2.Flash cyanogen nightly
3.REBOOT
4.REBOOT RECOVERY
5.Flash the zip

let me know if anyone has any issues. i will help how ever i can.

I have to hex edit the value for the text. lemme find it and ill see what i can do. messing with taskers can sometimes be alot of editing when you have to make them all white all black or transparent takes the longest, just depends what color youre coming from. ill find that guide when i get a chance and ill post here or pm. you should give the white a chance, its very clean looking actually, not telling you what to do, just a suggestion that cant hurt.
I'm sure the white looks great. I'm just not a fan of it. When I had the Nexus One, I always changed it to black. Now, I keep my notification bar hidden since I don't really need it. I just prefer the black.
Don't worry about it if it will take too much time. It's not a big deal.
Thanks
Approve! nicely done man
This is dope, i usually think your themes are a little too much for me ( i still commend you for the hard work though, not hating in any way just not my taste sometimes ) but this is awesome. About to flash now, thanks man.

Dont be scared trust me. once you do youll kick yourself for not doing it sooner. i dont blame you for being cautious though( i value my evo greatly) ive been running it since i put this mod together, and man, team cyan are awesome. its so smooth running. if you have any issues i will gladly help you get rolling. only issues are the 4g and mms for me and i dont use either and i never have so i dont lose anything. i was happy with hero_overs pastry till this morning.

Great overall, Only thing bugging me is the font. Great work though!!
So how do you change the font? Are they gonna flash through zip?
Magnus, I must say, this theme is actually pretty decent. I know I've ripped on you for your themes before, but you definitely toned this one down a lot and made it a lot nicer to look at, so congrats on the job well done. I do agree with a few of the other people in this thread though regarding the font...its not an easy font to read, especially not on a phone screen. I'm not sure how the whole font things work, but if you can push any font in, might I suggest Nobile regular. Its a nice, clean font created by Vernon Adams that I think would have fantastic readability on a mobile screen. It is licensed under the Open Font License, so it should be perfectly legal to use it in a free project like this. I've attached a zip of the font to this post.
edit: I just pushed Nobile to my phone via ADB and it looks really nice. I think you should consider it for your default font for the theme, or perhaps find a different clean font that fits your liking.
I've been searching all day, and I can't get a working copy of the Froyo HTC_IME APK.
Does anyone have it, or have the ability to rip it? I really wish I didn't have to request it here but I've exhausted all my attempts here to find it.
Help would be really appreciated. I'm currently running Damage Control 3.5 which didn't get official Froyo Sense keyboard. The mod does not have arrows, which is necessary for EVO users.
-EDIT: If anyone knows how to rip it from a ROM, that information can help as well, as long as it's not too difficult. I can have a friend attempt to do that.

Awesome! Thanks major to the creator, gIMpSTa. And thanks to jonasl for the mod.

Thanks. For some reason, however, it says "Application Not Installed". Any reasons as to why this is happening?
Again, I'm running DamageControl 3.5.
I did, while waiting for a reply, find a backup made by Titanium that includes the keyboard as system data. I could not run a restore for it though. It feels like I just will never get that keyboard back unless I flash a new ROM.
So, out of the options below, what's my best move?
1. Troubleshoot the installation error.
2. Troubleshoot Titanium
3. Flash a different ROM
This might seem like too much for a single keyboard, but you don't know how much I miss those arrows...

I wish I had my comp, and I'd just post the apk.
Anyways dude, the froyo keyboard is nice, so I could see why you want it. I've tried swype, and just plain deleted that gimpsta crap after like an hour (its nice for people who can't theme, but just ugly compared to a themes froyo).
To rip the apk, just download a stock Rom, open the zip, and it should be in system/app/. From there, u have to adb push it to the system/app/ folder of your own.phone.
Another alternative would be downloading a stock Rom n deleting literally everything in the zip minus the HTC_IME and flashing it.

Hey! I'm not really sure whats up with that. I am downloading DC right now to see whats inside. I made a new flashable. Maybe it will work. Before you flash it i would remove any extra keyboards you may have installed. Then also look in your /system/app/ folder and see if there are multiple copies of htc_ime.apk. there really should be only one. lastly, i would go to >settings>applications>manage>all>TouchInput>Clear defaults(dunno if you can do this) but maybe clear data. Then reboot recovery and flash this file. Maybe it wasnt working because it needed the clicker.apk as well.
Hope something works for ya. These files are from fresh so maybe that is why they don't work. ???
Has anyone figured out how to get this keyboard to work on cyanogen?
What exactly is the clicker?
I just ripped the APK from my Stock Froyo install for HTC_IME.apk, which should be the right keyboard. I have the clicker installed from that other HTC_IME Mod apk that's been around for a while, but that's not the multitouch version and doesn't have the arrow keys.
I'm going to see if the same hacks the guy who hacked the first one will work on this new APK. But I can't play around with it yet.
Check out APKtool to decompile the APK and look at the source for the other HTC_IME mod to kind of see what he did.
I too would like to use it in my CM install.
the clicker is what allows you to calibrate/recalibrate the touch input
Did anyone get the 2.2 keyboard running in AOSP roms yet?

OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Months... months i tell you i have been using android. hero then evo. And i just now realize you can use the volume keys as arrows thanks to you. I have learned how to theme, i have learned how to customize stock ota's into custom rom's for myself, i have learned how to compile kernels from source by dual booting into my linux build. I have learned so many things... and yet, just figured this out.... sometimes i wonder about myself and my sanity,.
on topic now, i think the touch input keyboard requires more than one apk to be installed, or an apk and a library.
can anyone post up a themed version of the stock or new MIUI rom flashable 3G indicator, themed to match this (or both):

I can edit it with photoshop if I can find it. Can anyone give me a hint to the file path?
EDIT: Hah...ok I suck and fail.
I found the apk and edited the images. Looked great. Put the apk back together. Unistalled the original apk and tried to install my modified apk. Would not install. I'm done with it for now. I guess I will read up on signing tomorrow although I thought I had read that system apps didn't need to be signed.
I'll play with it more tomorrow.
do adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
And the images should n in the drawable-hdpi. Folder if not just look around until u find the images
Then pull the framework from your current Rom and replace your images with the images you want then repush your framework hack to the phone and reboot

I can edit it with photoshop if I can find it. Can anyone give me a hint to the file path?
EDIT: Hah...ok I suck and fail.
I found the apk and edited the images. Looked great. Put the apk back together. Unistalled the original apk and tried to install my modified apk. Would not install. I'm done with it for now. I guess I will read up on signing tomorrow although I thought I had read that system apps didn't need to be signed.
I'll play with it more tomorrow.

If you figure it out can you pack a zip of just the 3g icon in blue as well for me?
Thanks man
Thanks for the tips. With a little help from google, I was able to figure it out.
Which icon did you need exactly? The 3g toggle or the notification bar?
well, i did it and replaced some old icons with cooler looking ones, but the 3g icons (along with similar data icons) did not show up. all of the other ones showed up. also, i read a thread where this dude got 4g icons from another rom and installed them on his phone to make it look like he had 4g, but then hours later, he experienced loss of mobile data... and now i think i am too... any suggestions?
I'm sorry I can't help you. I am learning all this myself and wouldn't pretend to know where to start on that. All I can say is that if you are going to make any changes then backup early and often.
The 3g toggle icons I was looking for were in system/app. I merely reskinned them and dropped them back in.

i wanted notification bar icon
I'm running a theme and mine is already skinned. I think either way you would still have to adb push it onto your phone. I did some googling and took a crash course on changing system icons.
Once I figured it out, it made sense (i know that sounds stupid, but after i did it, I was like oh yeah I get it now). I know that's not a big help, but I'm new to this and wouldn't want to bork your phone. Maybe someone more knowledgable will come save the day.
Otherwise I would google in terms like editing apks and adb pull adb push etc. and maybe you will figure it out too.
Hell I can't wait to ruin my phone now that I am armed and dangerous =)

Lol, i actuallly finally figured out how to extract the png's, so i am going to edit in photoshop, then replace the current images with the app ninjamorph.
*didnt work* left a huge blank space on noti. bar and when I rebooted to see if it would show, I bootlooped*
Well. I spent last night learning to resign edited apk files, so literally nothing on my phone is safe now.

Is there any way to pack the png's so that I can flash them or install as an apk?
Anyone know how I'd do this? I already have the edited png's.
Can I send any of you guys the folder with the icons and you can help me out with this?
Thanks again
It seems the easiest way to change or theme icons is to not unzip them. Just open them with 7zip and make your changes, then close it. They will stay compressed and all of the info and size will remain intact.
Once changed you will have to resign the apk or zip file.
I spent the better part of 2 hours reading up on it using these forums and google, but I do not in any way feel knowledgable enough to instruct you on the finer points. There are oodles of topics on editing apk's and signing them when you are finished.
The steps seem pretty clear:
1. download or pull apk
2. open with 7zip
3. make changes keeping sizes and file names the same
4. close
5. re-sign the apk or zip file (most likely have to delete the existing files to the original signing which will be replaced with your own)
6. push or install the zip or apk (make sure the original app is uninstalled prior to reinstalling the changed app)
There are various methods and tools. The most helpful thread I found on signing is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
I hope this covers it all and is helpful to you. I am new at it and can only tell you to backup everything and if you are unclear on any of it, then don't attempt it.
Read all the posts related to it. There is great info and plenty of feedback on known issues or mistakes others have had.
Wondering what needs to be done just to change certin aspects of a theme. ex: im using blue steele w/ puzzle lock but I still have the ginger red swype. Id like to switch the keyboard around. Any ideas our suggestions?

Read my guide, pay attention to the "creating a flashable package" part, basically to alter any file/folder on your phone you would simply need to place the file/folder in the appropriate folder structure within that zip, then flash. (This is all done while the package is still in the .apk format, you would need 7zip to open it and do the editing while it's still packaged, you never extract)
It'd be easiest for you to just go back to pick and pack, then flash the puzzle lock - that would get everything else back to stock that isn't themed.
I figured that would be the easiest route but Im feeling froggy and want to do it the hard way.i'm about to start digging into your guide now.

If you can find a swype that has been themed for another phone, you should be able to easily port it to the pnp version with theme porter, then add that APP to my puzzle lock theme and flash. Let me know and I'll include it in the theme.

There's a really cool Swype keyboard in that BlackFroyo theme I'm hoping someone jumps on I tried to just overwrite the .apk and that didn't work out so well for me.
Well I had to just pnp to the original swype for now, running around town with too many projects for the day but tonight its on. Ive got two mezs to play with

Yea, I tried pulling the widgetlocker .apk from my phone, editing it and pushing it back and it dissappeared from my app drawer, so I'm still learning about those issues.
You guys could port that swype keyboard to pnp (using my guide) and create a package that only flashes that app to your phone... once i'ts ported it could be added to any existing theme's too.

As you know, I know nothing about themeing but when I tried to just overwrite the .apk file it gave me an error saying that the app wasn't designed for my phone (or something like that) and would have limited usability. And then came the onslaught of the FC loop. Would making this a flashable install fix that or is it because the app itself just doesn't work with our phones?

that's why we have to port them to the pnp version first, it just copies all of the .png files to our version (that already works on our phone) then you would be able to replace it through root explorer (or make a flash package) sounds like you were trying to use the .apk from the other phone? Never do that btw

LOL Yeah I learned that lesson. Thank God for nandroid backups. It actually wasn't that bad just couldn't use the Swype keyboard anymore (even after putting our .apk back on). Maybe I'll give your guide a try. It kind of intimidated me the first time I read through it but maybe just pulling a single app will be a good way to start.

Skip reading the part about framework and decompiling. App's are wayyy easier, you should be able to just use theme porter (as long as the folder names within the theme'd version matches what's in pnp's version, should have -v4 i believe so you may have to rename those in the theme version.) Or you could manually move the .png's by opening each one in 7zip side by side.
