I themed Swype to be flat and black to better fit my aesthetic and making the metamorph available here. Note this is just a metamorph, not the app; you have to have the app already. Keep a backup version of your APK on hand in case this theme doesn't work.
The version I used for this metamorph was Swype_v2.4.44.10912_WVGA_English_ANDROID.apk. I think it should work across WVGA versions as long as they have the same layout.
Here's the instructions- 1. make sure you have the most recent MetaMorph from the market
2 with a file manager like root explorer go into /data/app and find com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
3 long press on the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk and select move
4 navigate to /system/app and select paste
5 long press on it again and select rename, name it swype.apk (all lower case) then reboot phone
6 open up Metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme
7 navigate to the BlackSwype.zip and apply the theme
8 reboot again
note you have to reboot your phone 2 times during this process.
Enjoy.

Have you tried the swype metamorph in the fist post of the twopointtwo thread?
Not yet, I figured since its for 2.4 swype it wouldn't work cause I'm on 2.10, but I'll give it a shot now and see how it goes.
EDIT: works, thanks

Awesome theme man, goes well with my blaxk theme.
Just an update, it completely removed swype from my phone. Had to use a back up of it to get it back. Now the theme won't even work.

This is a theme for Sky Raider 3.3 final that I just got started with. Only a few things are themed for now.
The icons are black (not all are themed right now) and the framework is mostly red (again, not all is finished).
Download: The file is 115.03 MB. Sorry there are TONS of icons! It is named v0Test, but don't worry, it is the right version.
Red Raider v0.1
Mirror
Flash it like any other theme.
MANY Updates are coming.

Sweet...gonna take this one for a spin when I get home.
Love the red/black gradients. Not so big on the font, but I can easily remedy that.
So I'm assuming this will automagically replace all the icons? What if I decide I don't like 'em? Any way to do this without replacing the icons?
Thanks, HTC!
Just open up the .zip file, go into system, and delete the 'app' folder. That will remove the themed icons.

What program did you use to take those screen shots?
Drocap2. It is pretty nice.
Yea it is, im using screen shots and it is terrible
Drocap is very nice. I also use PicMe, which is pretty dang cool if you're at your computer. Acts like a server on your phone, so you actually pull up your phone's screen on your laptop/'puter, capture it, and easily post it to your fav photo repository site. Between that and the Drocap/Photobucket app combo, capturing and posting screencaps is actually a pretty simple affair.
I am currently working on a v0.2 release.

Just wondering when v2 will be out. I really like this so far.

I just need permissions from a mod for one thing.
Then I will post it.
[¦] mobile [¦]
Are you waiting for permission for the red swype? If they say no, I also have a red shapewriter!
Are you going to mod the color on the market, phone, etc? Looking forward to seeing v0.2 and the screenies when you get it finished.
Thanks for the work and appreciate it.
This theme is mainly that of Bezerker07's themes found here
He gave me the ok to mash his theme with my Gingerbread theme making a BLUE and RED gingerbread theme.
As of right now, only the BLUE has been fully built and tested, an confirmed no problems. RED will be up shortly.
To install simply flash from recovery.
This has only been tested on SkyRaider3.5, any other ROM is on your own accord. Make sure to NANDROID before, just in case.

Looks good! Thanks for the work!
great job, again, ACD.
Great Work AC
Only one small request. I have tried to use the black nav bar metamorph from the OP of your other thread for SR black nav to get the black stock rosie I just get a rounded version of the clear black default launcher. If I could have the black stock rosie with this package I would be set........
Im not skilled enough to make it all into one. Any takers for either? I'll post in the other thread as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry forgot to add this to my last post, This is what I get when I use the metamorph for the black stock rosie on top of this theme. Thanks.
hey sorry so what do you want it to look like, ill get it set up for ya

I dig the current theme just would like to swap the rosie bars. Rather than the black clear I would prefer the blacked out version of the stock rosie you included in v1 & v2 of the green/black GB theme fro SR. Pretty much same request I made in that thread........
Thanks for the quick responses!
any word on the red theme yet?
I have recently came to what I believe is my resting place as far as roms and themes (for a little while at least). I am wondering if anyone would be willing to create me a custom facebook and market apk based on my current theme and wallpaper pictured below.
I will say thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to take this on. I wish I knew how to create an apk and I would just go at it myself.
Wanted to add to this maybe a black dialer keypad with red letters and white numbers.

I'm not saying I can't theme Facebook and the Market app for you but is time consuming and to be honest, I'm not into the whole RED thing BUT.....there's help after all! Check out this thread and contact the OP aka the guy that started the thread and see if he has a themed Facebook/Market app that you can borrow from him! If he doesn't have one, I'm sure that will properly be on his list of things to do for future updates to his theme! Oh and YES, the market and facebook app should work on a sense rom even though his theme is for CM7 (AOSP rom)!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042045
Hope this has helped a bit......GOOD LUCK!!
It is actually quite ironic that you would suggest that as I flashed CM7 back on yesterday and am using his themes etc. I have never been huge on red and black but there have been a couple of themes that just pop and I am kinda hooked on black and red for now.

I just happened to come across your post. Here is the market that I am currently using which will go perfect with your setup. Follow this and try the red transparent market. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888330
Also, we are putting the finishing touches on our red themed facebook.apk and should be posted today or tomorrow on the theme thread so keep checking back.
Will do!! Thanks!

I created this for MikG, but it should work for any Sense 2.1 ROM. To install, just place the apk on your SD card and install, then press Menu, Personalize, Skin, and select MikMik from the list of skins.

Thanks. There are several blue skins here.
Love the Orange, but noticed the e-mail widget is still black. Is there any way you can fix that. Thanks.

Skins don't modify the colors of individual apps.
From my Evo 4G with XDA app.
Sorry, just realized you were talking about the widget. Must have overlooked that one. Should have a fix up in a couple of days.

Unfortunately the email widget colors cannot be changed with a skin. I verified this by changing to several other skins (including HTC supplied ones), and they don't change the email widget either.
I've been searching hard for something very similar to this but in a red. Anyway you can do up a red version quick?
I'm still gonna use this for a bit

I'm no longer making Sense 2.1 skins. I should be coming out with some new Sense 3.0 skins soon, however.
Nice work dude!
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF USING THE FILES POSTED HERE!
Edit: thread looks horrible on xda phone app, will fix this when I have some time.
I want to thank ENDLESS2232, for working the 4g icon set I requested.
I wanted to, create a icon set myself, so I could use until I had the one he created(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643176), and since I have the att ones I thought it would be nice to share them.
I pulled these out of the HTC One X, and converted them to blue to match my black and blue theme on tweaked 2.0.
I dont know how to create a flash-able file so I copied the systemui.apk from my phone, and that is what is posted here. Therefore only use it if you are currently on black and blue theme from tweaked 2.0. (REMEMBER I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS SAFE TO DO THIS)
What I did was replace the file on my phone using "Root Explorer"
That is what it looks like:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Here is the systemui.apk if you want to try:
View attachment SystemUI.apk
Here is the icon set if someone wants to make a flashable file, or use ninjamorph:
View attachment 4g_icon.zip
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is it on my phone:
I have never done anything like this before, so I have no Idea if there is a better placement for these files on systemui.apk .... Any comments, are appreciated!
Thanks, I just copy and posted the systemui rebooted and now have a custom 4g symbol. The blue is a little fall, but still looks great.

Do you have a 3g icon like this. Also it could stand to be a lighter blue. It looks ok unless my phone is set to minimum brightness though. Thanks for this.
I went back to the original because this is too dark and the only way I can see it is to have my phone set to full brightness.
