for example I'll refer to the contacts app
this is how I did it on my phone, no computer...
I used root explorer to copy the stock contacts app, then posted on SD card...extracted contacts.apk...went to the extracted contacts, then res, then find the folder drawable-(your phones screen resolution)...in my case the folder that says drawable-hdpi...then find the background image...mine was called custom_background.png. Then just replace that with an image of equal size...make sure the name is copied correctly. Then exit out, rezip the contacts...change zip to apk...copy and paste back to where you got the app...in this case using contacts...you would place in system/app....reboot and should be good to go

Battery Morphs to CM

I was checking the N1 Themes And Apps session and noticed this cool battery morph (Thanks to tr.slate).. So was wondering is someone can do the fabulous work of porting it over to the EVO, especially to the CM ROM
Now, if you unpack the zip file into your Meta morph theme folder in your SD, and load it with Meta morph, it work, just though that maybe having a flash-able option would be great.
See my phone SC below - I love it
Battery Morph for N1
I really like this one
This is for CM6-RC2: HDPI_dotsBattery_v10_signed.html
It may work on more recent nightlies but you'll have to find out for yourself

Special thanks to:
rion_J and y3ahright
Thanks for helping make
this theme better​
I am not RESPONSIBLE if your phone malfunctions or is corrupted in any way shape or form. This is also ONLY for Droid X and Droid 2 at the moment but I hope to make my way to other phones Fission supports as well....
Instructions have changed... You no longer need to mount or unmout system when in recovery. I have edited the install script to make it faster and easier to apply this theme over Fission as well as it being available on Fission ROM Manager and the Lite version as well... New instructions are as follows:
**After downloading the theme file place on root of your sdcard
**Reboot into clockwork recovery using Rom Manager or Bootstrap
** select: install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard> Galaxy_S_Theme_x.x.zip
**Select "Yes - Install Galaxy_S_Theme_x.x.zip
**Navigate back to main menu and select "reboot system now"
There you go, that wasn't so bad. This theme is now up on Fission ROM Manager and Fission ROM Manager Lite, this will make it a lot easier by making it pretty much one click theme update...
Follow me on Twitter and tweet if you tried my theme, thank guys!
@StuntinX
Future add-ons for next update:
**I want to hear your thoughts on what
you would like to see in this theme and
and I will take it under consideration
ONLY for DROID X and DROID 2. Will be ported to as many phones says people want just let me know. Also don't be afraid to voice your opinion, I would like to here what you think and might want changed.​Themed Facebook and Twitter applications have be added as a update.zip and you may just flash it as normal.

It's called "Signal Strength Widget" and you can download for free in the market. I use it cause when I use go launcher I hide the status bar, just for looks. Idk I like it. I also hope to clean up the install script so I can shorten the number of steps.
Thanks @kdkinc I put quite a bit of time into it and I hope to get it cleaned up a bit.

Just wanted to let you know, I've done this theme already. For every version of fission. The one of FRM isn't the one in this thread.
Can you get the power toggle in the drop down of status bar like the fascinate?
also date on status bar is black....hard to see

If you flashed the Galaxy S theme that was posted in the morning then no it wasn't my theme, I double checked, since then AngDroid put my theme up there, again I double checked this. If there is anything more I would appreciate it if these were PMs, thanks.
@tttuning the power control in the notification drop down has had a lot of people work on it that are way better than me and still have not accomplished this, so sorry it won't be on this theme unless it is ported by someone else. I think I will have that up in the next version. Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

Whats different between this and the Gala S version that Joe has been doing? Only differences I noticed was the % in batt, the date was left black, and unthemed apps?
im on stock 2.2.1 w/ root.
is there a way to add the reboot/silent options to my phone like in the above screen shots?
ive always wondered how to add reboot/reboot into recovery/silent and so to the power button menu.
There were quite a few differences but it is hard for me to recall them right now because I only had a brief moment to play around on his but this what I know for sure. This is only my first release and I already have a huge update coming with over 400 images altered, themed apps, TouchWiz launcher as option, Galaxy S boot ainmation (already in the link above) progress bars to match, themes icons, Gingerbread keyboard as option, clean up lock screen puzzle .pngs, and more I'm probably forgetting.
I am not claiming that my is better but if not with my first release then for sure with my second that my theme has more packed I to it.

love the boot animation so far coming from lucid to urs for a break lol
Boot Animation
What is the easiest way to get rid of the boot animation? I switched to this theme to try it out, but the Galaxy S tagging is a bit much on my Droid X. I flashed back to Gingerbread them, but the animation stayed. I also flashed the Droid X animation from Fission Rom Manager, but your animation is still there. I also tried SBF, but the animation remains.
any way to push the lockscreen without using the whole rom? if so does anyone know the adb commands?
I took this rom off having messaging problems sending and receiving. Other than that great rom just wished the dialer want that ugly green with all that blue in it, went back to stock fission 2.4.2 til lucid gets his up, love the lock screen tho

I just installed it, looks great! One thing: I added a couple folders to my home screen and when I open them, they look really stretched, as if the resolution is all off. Also, the name of the folder shows up way too the left of the top bar of the opened folder.

[Q] Need recommendation on Theme/ROM

I'm visually impaired using the DroidX 4.5.605 rooted.
Up until this Verizon update I've found my phone usable, but I need to do something to restore the usability I once had.
1. I would like a high contrast interface, though some have suggested black backgrounds and white text, I would also be ok with the opposite.
2. I would like to double tap to open items. Right now areas like SETTINGS open on signle tap.
Can someone recommend a theme and / or a ROM that would allow me to have both of these features?
TIA,
Cm7 has some themes that are black and white I run .602 gb cm7 rom works great

Emoji😁🚙🎧🍚✌

For anyone who wants it. I like them and I did this just to show my wife that android can do the same and better things than iphones!
1st I flashed a emoji enabler from here-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879056
Make sure you thank iridaki for this! I used the v3 zip for the bigger emoji's.
Next you can do 1 of 2 things or both.
I use the 4.2 keyboard w/ trace. If you use this you can also get the 4.2 emoji keyboard from here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056558
I didn't flash I just put the system apps and lib in corresponding places and rebooted. This will have the android emoji's.
Or you can download this mms.apk that allows you to insert emoji's and look mo like the iphone's emoji's. You get this from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33957466.
If I knew how to modify apps I would love to modify our messaging app to insert the emoji's.
Enjoy and please thank these people for their work
Edit: if you use the mms.apk you need to freeze the stock text app or you will get duplicate messages.

[REQ] JB Contacts with black background

Hello together,
I have a Xt925 running JB 4.1.2 (O2 Firmware, rooted, locked bootloader) and was wondering if anybody could provide me with an inverted contacts.apk or one with a black background. The one in my firmware has a white background color and that is really annoying.
I already tried other contact-apps and the best one I found was GoConteacts EX. Normally I would use it but it has this little bug that it breaks the contacts-sync as one can see in the playstore-comments.
So I basically ok with the stock contacts.apk except the white background. So if anybody could please help out here?
Thanks.
No one? I like black background too, maybe the apk from ICS? I update to JB and boom!, white background, I don´t like it...
I am using exdialer & contacts from the play store right now. I also installed the theme black ics for this app. It's not perfect but it does the job. The only problem is that if you add a new contact you get the white background again. In my case that is OK because I normally add my contacts in outlook on my pc and sync them. Dialer and contact lists are black and that is OK for me.
