[Metamorph] Flat Black Swype

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.

Moving file
Using root explorer.. After I copy the file from data app, when I attempt to paste in system app I get this message. "You cannot paste here because file system is read only" Does anyone know what the problem is?

super circle battery icon

im currently using free x10 froyo and loving it, however i do miss the super circle battery icon from the previous rom i was using. is there any way to just replace the stock icon without going into a whole "theme"?

Yes - [UPDATED 24.12.2010] X10 Theme Reference
Happy reading.

Man, that's an awful lot of reading and work for a battery icon. I do however wish it was part of the original Froyo ROM.

Yep, that's what learning involves.

Upload the framework-res.apk and I will do it.

I did it last night after installing Free X10 beta 3. It's attached.
It has Super Circle Battery Version B for white background, as well as the bootanimation fix (cobrato's post here).

NOTE: I've only tested this with Free X10 beta3. There's no guarantee that it will work on beta 2, and it definitely WON'T work on stock SE firmware.
I don't know how to make an xRecovery package yet, so unless someone else makes one (feel free), you'll need adb to install it:
1. Connect your phone through USB.
2. Copy framework-res.apk to your SD card root directory (/sdcard/).
3. Open a command prompt (in a directory that contains adb) and type:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
4. It will probably crash and reboot. This is normal. If not, reboot manually.

WARNING: Do NOT use Root Explorer to copy framework-res.apk directly over the one in /system/framework/! I think it crashes before it finishes copying, so it'll be corrupted.

Well, that didn't take too long to learn. Thanks to qwer23 for the tutorial and template.
This is a zip file for xRecovery. See my post above.

[Mod] System fonts

Hey guys, coming from a fascinate, we had some mods that I used and was trying out some with the Charge. These are system fonts that will show up in the menu in settings/display settings/font style.
We were flashing fonts from this thread.
They would work but we couldn't figure out how to get them to show up in the font style menu.
The credit goes out to thatdudebutch.
He made these apks and flashable zip to install, but when I tried it, my phone soft bricked. Not sure why, the pathway was correct, but just didn't work.
So, I just took out the meta-inf folder rezipped them, so there are about 70 font.apks in it. I can't believe they charge like a dollar for each font when you hit the "get fonts online" button.
To install, unzip the file and move the whole bunch to the data/app folder. They DO NOT go into the system/font folder. You need to be rooted and use a file manager like root explorer. They will show up in the font style menu and you can choose which to apply.
Download the zip here
Again all credit goes to thatdudebutch.

I'm on GB 2.3.4 leak and this is what I did:
1. Go to a file explorer, FE, that will allow you to edit internal phone files I use “Root Explorer,” and that’s what I’ll be referring. REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL IN THERE YOU COULD MESS UP YOUR PHONE IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION!!!!
2. In the FE find the “sdcard” and enter
3. Now find the zip you downloaded, I put mine on the root of my SD so it is easy to find, and LONG PRESS.
4. Extract All…now this may be different if you are using another FE; i.e.,
extract to or something of the sort
5. Go to where the files have been extracted
6. Yeah they are all here….
7. Hit menu and then “Multi-select” now if you are using another FE do what
you have to select all the files you want
8. Now that you are done selecting the files you want, copy it…
9. With the files you just copied, back out of the “sdcard” to the root of the
phone and find “data”
10. Now find “app” and enter
11. Whilst in the “app” folder paste the files you always wanted…your done.
Hope this helped

very nice step by step write up

Thanks man. Worked great for me.

Stock Clock apk?

Does anyone have the stock clock/alarm/timer apk that came with the phone? I kind of liked it.
Thanks!

If you know what the file name is I can post it for you. Odexed or Deodexed?

Here it is odexed, what I did was upload both SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk & SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.odex yet it only shows 1 file. This came from ED1.zip that is posted here on XDA.

Here it is deodexed and I only uploaded SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk from the ED1_Deodexed.zip here on XDA.

I think you are actually asking for the stock clock application, I was also. I pulled it out of ed2 deodexed I believe, it is attached and needs to be installed via CWR. It worked for me.

Perfect! Thank you guys. I really like that app. Timer for when cooking food, alarm, etc all in one.

Once i download this then what? Put on SD card? The .apk file.

You need to have Clockwork Mod Recovery installed. Boot into recovery, choose install zip, choose the zip file and install it.

I meant the samsung weather.apk not the clock.zip. The former file isn't in zip form.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

ok so I downloaded the samsung weather/clock.apk file, found it in root explorer, moved it to system/app folder, rebooted, tried to install and no go. Is there a step with the permissions I'm missing? If so what should be checked in the permissions box. It's not really a big deal with this particular file but I'd like to know for future files.

Thanks, stranula for posting the Clock.zip. I was looking for it, too.
Installed through CWR, it opens fine, but the FCs about 5-10 seconds later...doesn't let me Add Alarm. Any ideas? I did try install and uninstall.

put in /system/app (with root explorer as r/w) then long press the apk to get to the menu and go to permissions, check 'group' and 'others' as write too and 'owner' already should be, then reboot and install... that should fix it I think

Also, is anyone aware of a suitable replacement for the stock clock App? Like mentioned above, with the clock, alarm, timer and stopwatch all built in?

*should work with EVERY ROM! *
https://www.box.net/shared/cd113rdnixyk4krdh7ic
★★ Edit ★★
Use Google music or other music player app! The stock HTC music player disables DSP if you change the EQ mode in the HTC stock music player. Google music gives you a sweet option when pressing menu also quick access to DSP.
*****People are saying this only works with CM sources. It works on sense Roms unless they have CM sources which I doubt they do*****

Thanks.. been looking for a dspmanager that works on cool3d AceS Rom on
HTC desire.
The ones I found tended to need libs placed in various places and would
either not work or send in to a bootloop.
This works straight off, no extras needed
Also integrates fully with Google music 3.0, click menu then the sound effects
button and it gives the dsp settings.. great stuff.
Edit... Oh you already mentioned the integration.. teach me to read before
posting.

Don't try and install it, just paste the apk in system/app
and set the permissions as they are set in the image above by snake eyes.
Restart ! and Done!
Now open the app drawer, you will see DSP in it

Works well!
