{MORPH} not working with themes...

I have had my N1 since release and been installing themes for a bit. I do realize they updated to a newer version (.xml) theme control. Unfortunately I did not backup my previous metamorph when someone did a wipe on my phone....
Since I'm an idiot first thing I did was download and install the newer version of metamorph currently v1.9.8 I believe....
Realizing none of my previous themes didn't work after downloading them again... I decide let me go and download some new ones from the metamorph thread.. My assumption that the first post had the information about the new theme control, I go to town on the downloading...
Of course, they are not updated.... Anybody else running into this?
I even tried searching for the old version online but nothing yet....
Basically only wanted a black status bar and kspec battery icon... But no luck still....

You'll have to wait until the devs notice the update, and/or add .xml support. I updated mine earlier, only because I saw the all the links in the main metamorph thread. It didn't even hit me when I saw the update in the market.
Either that, or you can create an .xml yourself and be ahead of the game. It's not really that hard. There's even a .thm to .xml converter if you're on Windows.

awesome. I think ill look it up. what theme did you create?

There is a detailed post on how to make the .xml file.

theme creator should update in a perfect world when are aware of the change...
I am not asking for alot.... Anyway, I could not find a reliable source for a converter and I think it is a step beyond my skillz to go and manually change the theme control files on my own...
Can someone give the name of a .thm to .xml converter? I will def be willing to pay for the app, but I could not even find a trial to know whether it works well or not....
Please please pleas.... I need to add my themes... I'm an addict..

I've started a thread right here in ths forum with a download Link to this toll.
Could you use the search?

When you find a morph thats not updated yet do one of the following
1) fix it yourself with the auto-xml generate tool. Make sure you PM/bump the thread
2) Bump the thread.
3)PM the author.
Developers have a LOT of morphs and its hard to keep track of them or search and update them all.

ahhh. Funny thing is I came across your thread but overlooked that download portion.. I had watched that tutorial on manually creating the file but I'm newbie at this Android dev stuff... Thanks for re-posting the link here guys...

YAY!!.... that converter worked wonders... only 2 themes did not work.. but hey, I got the main one... YES YES YES!!..
Thanks guys...

Yes, the converter is really cool! Great work!

**If you notice you don't have all of the theme then you likely flashed a new rom and my theme before rebooting. This will prevent the theme from fully updating. You can flash the theme a second time to get it working or follow this guide**
1) Shut down, Boot into Recovery
2) Flash Rom
3) Reboot
4) Shut down, Boot into Recovery
5) Flash this theme
6) Reboot
**Note**
If this is your first time flashing to this rom it's better to let the rom boot fully first, then reboot to recovery and flash the theme. As always when switching roms a full factory reset and wipe of dalvik cache is recommended.

No, this is for CM6 only ask the OP to port it.

URL updated in post 1, sorry.

Absolutely fantastic.
Only thing is the battery percentage doesn't align with the battery. I don't personally care, but I thought you should know.

Yeah I haven't messed it with the icons enough to fix it and that's why I themed Rodriguez's batter notif to red. I also think it looks better using more of the status bar
I may look into fixing it though if other people want to see it changed too.
-prodigy

Honestly man, I think it looks beautiful. I don't think the numbers would look good in the circular icon anyway. Seriously. Thanks again.
I do have a question for you, though. Any red/black icon pack you can recommend that would look nice with this? I have MBlend_Red, but it doesn't have enough icons for me.

Sigh. Figures. CM6 with Bluetooth, MMS, and GPS all fixed just came out, and the theme no longer works. Dialer spam force-closes as soon as the phone's done booting.
New build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722478&page=15
I totally understand if you don't want to keep updating these builds, though.

this is a badass theme...any way to make this for pmf 1.2?

Glad you like it I'm not too familiar with all the roms available for the Incredible so you'll have to send me a link so I can check into it. Themes, out side of CM6 require additional editing to get the notification colors changed. I can't promise anything but I would check into it.

I'm more than happy to test the new build once it's ready. This is definitely my favorite theme so far.

This is the best theme out for the Incredible on CM6.
I added your other Maps icon back in and changed the battery icons. Can you add this Maps icon to the next release?
Thanks again for letting me test!

I agree. No offense to Jonnybueno (I love his theme too. That's what I was using before) but I just really like the notification bar icons in this theme. Really sharp looking. That and the dialer looks sick. Can't wait to get this working on the new build.

Yeah I'll try to get this updates in to the new release, I just got back to work on this some. I hope to have the new release updated sometime today before I head out for a pool tournament. If it isn't up in the next few hours it may not be till later tonight or tomorrow. I hope to have it done earlier though.

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.

(previous post for 1st power-up below) only to be used on the 1st 2 nightlies
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.....
SCREENS
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Push to Recovery
2.Flash cyanogen nightly
3.REBOOT
4.REBOOT RECOVERY
5.Flash the zip
6.Enjoy
let me know if anyone has any issues. i will help how ever i can.
FYI this is just a MOD, not a ROM
please dont come here and attempt to flame me because thats not why im posting, so if you dont like this or its not for you, just move along....THANK YOU

OP, any way to get the Notification bar to be black with white texts?

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.

I used to think the same thing, but it seems that they're a bit more refined now and less clunky.
Good work, Magnus.

I agree, very nice looking theme here.
I'm too chicken sh_t to flash the rom tho with all the problems it has right now....but if I get brave and do it...I will definitely flash this theme.

All the people wanting a black notification... go to settings, cyanogen settings, and change the colors and reboot... that's it

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.

NICE!!!
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.

Is there any way to add a vanilla droid slider into the next build? I am not a big fan of the Moto Droid slider.

Is swype enabled on this version? If not, how to we go about getting it back on?
Thanks!

Get the Droid 2 system dump, find the Swype.apk, put it on your sd card and reinstall it using a file manager

Awesome. Lightning fast, contacts and Google are working great, and I haven't had any lock-screen freezes so far like I did frequently on 2.0. I love the new battery indicator addition.

Sweetness....
Matt, this rom is SICK! I just noticed a few of the bugs today with 2.0 and lowe and behold, when i get home you were already on it and had 2.5 out...... MAJOR KUDOS BRO!!! Keep up the WONDERFUL work, and btw...... the black bar is tight as hell.... 640k is a retard, don't change a thing.

Thanks Matt!

I had that issue on the tranquility rom, but I fixed it by replacing the blur calendar with the google one. Let me try this rom and see what happens.

Working on it. I downloaded his rom and double checked it. Looks kosher this time, so I am off to flash. I'm going to back up my google cal. If it fixes the issue I'll send it your way.

Add Aroma Installer To Your Rom!

So here's the deal,
I always loved the look and feel of the sidekick 4G but I never bought one when it came out, a few months back I found an
amazing deal on a perfect condition one so I bought it right quick only to find we have very little development here.
Well Im hoping to change this as i have time, with school, work, getting married in two months, house projects,
and other development projects i have had no opportunity to sit down and really play with this phone to see if
I could even build something from source on it.
Yesterday i saw the last ROM maintainer RicAndroid (pay him respect) here almost quit due to lack of respect for all his hard work
and having little more to play with, I decided I cant let this happen. So last night I whipped together a quick Aroma Package
that can be used with any ROM here, it will flash as is now and install a select few things to your phone no matter the
ROM you are currently running.
If people desire i can make a very expansive package that could hold many modifications to your phone, but for now,
as i have little time, I hope the few developers here can take this package and apply it to the best and most slim base ROM
and make their own fun to flash fully customizable ROM.
I Will Continue Making Bigger and Better Packages Only If people Request That I Do

So for now, I hope whatever devs, maintainers, cooks, whathaveyou, here will take this and make it their own
you do not need my permission, i do not require any credit in your ROM, i just hope those who still maintain ROMs here will continue
and those on the fence about learning how will take this opportunity as an easy start!
As Always, Happy Flashing!

Changelog and Download
*Please feel free to request anything specific you would like added to the next release, I wont not promise when, but it seems people will use this, so I'll make a few updates. But I would Like input on what YOU want
As always I encourage developers and the like to take this package and make it their own. Find a Rom, strip it naked, ad features to Aroma, and release to the public! Until someone moves this phone past froyo this will be the next best thing I hope! And I'm NOT promoting simple zip kanging here, be sure to ask the developer to use their ROM and give credit where do! (i dont need credit if you use these packages at all but the developers do!)

First release

Can you please describe what it does?
It just adds a bunch of APKs, including 2 launchers ADW/Zeam and then some theme stuff?

yeah of course, as of right now this is just proof of concept, I dont have the installer add much. so what you do is download, put on sd, boot to recovery, and flash it like a ROM
when you do, recovery disappears and Aroma pops up, here it will go through a bunch of options. right now this package has a couple launchers to pick from, a couple music players, and a few boot animations (probably not optimized for this phone)
it is possible to add most anything, such as in another phone i have it flashing different systemUI.apks that will modify the placement of the clock and the color, also making one that flashes splash screens (the one when you first boot phone, here its says sidekick or whatever) and this can be changed to any image.
really I dont think ill make a large package for this phone, unless a bunch of people request i do so. but my purpose is to have developers add it to their rom (a slimed to nothing rom) and have just about every app service whaterer be flashed as users choice. can also choose kernel, have it wipe phone for you, really anything that can be flashed in recovery can be flashed here

Noob explanation. Aroma installers are GUI for installing ROMs. The allow you to pick and choose what you want installed rather than forcing you to use the ROM as is then taking out what you don't want. All with a pretty user friendly interface. We have them for some things on the amaze

yes exactly, i often have long winded answers to simple questions
and for those that arent familiar dont think what i did above above is as good as it gets, really its just something i slapped together in 20mis taking parts from other aroma installers i made for other devices and changing things to work here.
and like i said i hope others will take this on and make it their own, id be happy to build some polished up ones too if everyone wants it, just dont want to spend time on anything that just will go to waste

Awesome...thanks, man! I lost my temper a while back, yeah...but I'm sticking around. This is great to see some activity here again!

Great I'm glad to here you're sticking around! I hope this gives you more to play with as you've done great work with ROMs thus far, this should just add one more element!
And now you won't have people in your threads asking to remove this or add that, you just give them a great stripped down base and let them choose!

Thank you and RicAndroid for helping to keep this device going!

Wow, never thought that aroma installer would be applied with the sidekick
Wanted to make a Aroma Package myself, but the lack of time and knowledge didn't made it possible
Demkantor, I'm definitely interested in getting a fully Aroma package for the Sidekick
I would be brilliant because of all the hard work of all the devs themers, that have been there for the sidekick, would be used in your 'own personal' Rom
What Aroma Installer does : you install a Rom by choosing yourself the kernel, launcher, apps, bloatware, everything by choosing out of a list. Of course depends of what is included in the package!
edit : for all the devs out there, thank you for helping to keep the Sidekick alive.

I'll be using this at a later time, dude. For now, I'm excited to announce that I have finally fixed the Jump key bug....on my own, BTW. So, now....anyone here have any other comparisons with GOV you want to throw my way?

All right since you guys want it ill try to find some time tonight or tomorrow to build a more expanded one, I have some ideas in mind but it would be nice to know what you all are looking for too

Did I motivate you to fix it Ric? And let me know when you apply it to the other ROMs so I can update NexusCM

You sure did....lol. I dug through the whole framework until I found what was wrong. There were entries in the recent_apps_dialog.xml and recent_apps.icon.xml that were not correct.
Oh, and I already updated CM.

You should add customizations like the status bar stuff like green wifi signal usb ect
The lockscreen mods ? But by them selfs so it don't take over a tab in settings
Full fonts that have all the characters
Font sizes? (For this I have seen font size (for root users) works but its paid for an beta)
hummm the background of notification center?
Animations like opening a app it will flip or slide in or something
These are just ideas that I could think of at the moment
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

Those are great ideas but by in large they would need to be ROM dependent as they would be editing the systemui.apk, like status_bar.xml files and the like
But there are some things of this sort that could be done in any ROM, no matter the base so I'll see what I can come up with.
Maybe when I get some more time I'll build a ROM with these types of things implemented so for now hopefully ricandroid or someone working on ROMs may take this up....
Anyway I'll post another package shortly, don't have time to add in everything I would like to but that just means I'll have to keep going!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

ok new aroma! check second post, this is a much larger package (over twice the size of the last) so i dint get a change to test everything, if anyone is will to run a few tests i would be very appreciative
as always, Happy Flashing!
