[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I haven't done battery icons in my morphs because theme chooser themes always cover that. I may eventually update mine with them, but for now, here is a place to get some: http://droidpirate.com/tag/battery/

The black volume popup is stock in CM7, unless I misunderstood your question.

In that case, I'll download the theme and check it out sometime. Steelblue added to my to-do list.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
I'm using a different theme and want to change the volume pop up to the black one u have. What do I dl to accomplish this?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I don't have a dl for that. If it is a theme chooser theme, not much I can do, the theme overrides any system files, even ones installed with metamorph.

What theme are you using?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I'm also working on theming the Lense lockscreen style. What do you all think of this? Run with it or back to the drawing board?
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
I like that. Only thing, it'd be cool if you had the hole rectangle pull down bar all black and had the numbers n all that in white. or something similar in that fashion.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
I'm using a sense type theme. everythings great on it, I just want the colors on the volume pop up to be black instead of blue.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I've considered that, but haven't yet found the .xml I would need to change the text color to white.

As for your theme, as I said, I don't think that is something I can change for you. Sorry.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
Try to figure out what themes I'm using LOL.

On my Gingerbreaded Evo-Shifted Premium XDA App.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
All basic and standard morphs updated with new themed Lense lockscreen.
[Android Themes] lorawithano:
i am absolutely in love with these. all the guys who worked on these are the absolute best. i feel like i've been waiting forever for someone to do this. absolutely beautiful work here, and it all works flawlessly on my end.

i'm running an HTC Aria with CM7-build 59 with UpwardSpiral's purple punch theme chooser app from the market, and used zip themer to package what i wanted to use.

i noticed that my slider is themed, even though i did not download the file for the slider color. not complaining, pleasantly surprised actually. in my package, i included the purple punch standard add-on, the FC pack, and the dialer.

absolutely everything has turned purple! LOVE it. market, all status bar icons, drag down control widgets, lock screen slider, many standard app icons, volume bars, dialer.... i mean really, everything.

just perfect. keep up the good work, guys!
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Thanks lorawithano, glad you like them, and thanks for the details in the feedback. Since I have no mdpi device to test on, it's good to hear those morphs are working. (Aria is mdpi, right?)

UpwardSpiral's themes really are great. No matter what I try, I keep going back to Orange Octane or Minimal Magic. :)
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
I'm searching around for more dialer skins for my phone and I can't find ANY. You should make some!
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
Btw I'm about to give one of those new lockscreens a try.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
That's one of those "I've been meaning to do that" things. :)
[Android Themes] san000:
Hi there, unknown contact call picture doesn't change in my device, it remains the same it was with Minimal Magic although I changed the png in your morph. The weird thing is that other png's I replaced have changed. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I don't know. You are talking about picture_unknown.png in a FC morph (Phone.apk), right?
[Android Themes] san000:
Yeah that one. I have noticed that it only changes when I chose a theme different from Minimal Magic. :confused:
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Oh, ya, that. The Theme Chooser overrides system files, even ones installed by metamorph. UpwardSpiral has a 3d andy for that pic in his themes. You aren't doing anything wrong.
[Android Themes] san000:
So there is no way to change it?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Well, nothing is impossible. You could decompile the Minimal Magic apk, remove that image, and re-compile it. Metamorph doesn't play well with market apps, though I have never tried morphing a theme.apk.

Sorry, if there is an easy way, I'm not aware of it.

That is an area where the theme chooser needs improving. For example, devs making a theme have to theme the battery, or we would all make fun of them. :) But once themed, that's the battery icons you are using with the theme. It would be nice to be able to have options there. Hopefully the theme chooser will be more flexible in the future. Still, I really like it, it's a great addition.
[Android Themes] san000:
I already tried that with ApkManager, but theme choser doesn't seem to recognize the theme once recompiled.

Anyway thanks for your help and congratulations for you work.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
Haha well hopefully you start soon
[Android Themes] tremendouz:
cool, very nice, thanks
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Added colored number morphs for the dialpad to the bottom of the OP. Can be used alone or after another dialer morph. Grey/minimal xtreme dialer recommended with these.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
Very nice.
[Android Themes] e240:
So the correct way to get rid of these is to simply apply a differnt theme?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I included a white numbers morph for that. :)
[Android Themes] e240:
No I meant to get the stock sliders back and everything else that this changes to stock,do I just apply a different theme? And by the way I really like the minimal magic one thanks.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Oh. The fastest way to get everything back to stock is to re-flash your rom and gapps. No data wipe should be needed if you are re-flashing the same rom.

Edit: Except boot animations, for those follow the instructions in the second post.

Also, if you use ZipThemer to apply anything, it will ask if you want to create an 'undo' flashable zip based on what you currently have installed. Great feature.
[Android Themes] e240:
Oh okay thanks.
[Android Themes] e240:
sorry for asking this i know u must be busy but would it be possible to make a zip file for metamorph to just apply the stock sliders and other things back?. again this is just a request i dont mind reflashing the rom i just think this would make it easier for everyody. thanks for your work man really
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
No need to say sorry for asking.

I used to include a return to stock morph called 'Do Panic'. It became a pain to maintain as I kept including more things in different morphs. I removed it at some point and nobody complained, I guess most people using these are flash-happy Nightly users. :)

I'll rebuild it when I have some free time. It should be easier to maintain now that the main morphs are 'done'.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Added return to stock dialer morphs to bottom of OP as well.
[Android Themes] lorawithano:
yes, aria is mdpi. everything is just perfect, so kudos for the development without being able to test. i keep the orange octane, and punk pink from both of you guys on my SD for when my phone wants to change clothes. ;)
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
A full set of Return to Stock images morphs have been added to the bottom of the OP.
[Android Themes] :
Okay so here's a question because I am also interested in changing some things like the battery image and 3g icons to some that I have made and was able to add to an deoxed rom that was not using tmobile's theme changer using zipthemer. So let me see if I am understanding this correctly the theme apk overrides any Morph installed so if I change the apk to a zip ext and don't unzip it just open it and remove the battery and 3g images and then rename it back to an apk. And reinstall the edited theme apk. I should in theory be able to add the icon images to mpdi add on zip and use zip themer same as usual and have the battery and 3g icons I want show up after installing the update zip. Does this make sense.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I have never tried editing an app like that, though I would be pleasantly surprised if it works. If you try it, let us all know what happens.
[Android Themes] :
I am going to try it but does the theme apk over ride the morph. Another idea I may try is to convert the entire theme to a morph and not use the T-Mobile theme manager at all.

That's what I did on my previous rom that was not cm7 but a liberate 2.2 sense rom. I used your morphs and then extracted some things from the red remix theme apk had to change some image names to match what was in the framework Res of the 2.2 rom but it worked. My only concern is that even the system theme in theme changer is a actual theme a well not sure how to bypass theme changer all together if the first method of removing the images does not work. I will keep you guys posted to how it goes.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
The 'system' setting isn't it's own theme, morphs show up. Rebuilding the morph with images from a theme will work, just remember you can't use morph on market apps, so a lot of the theme will be missing.
[Android Themes] e240:
Thanks!!
[Android Themes] :
okay so none of my ideas worked but just checked some posts on dowward spirals thread and found this posted by another member. I have not had time to try this bit i will keep you posted as to how it works out.

EDIT: Just saw your post. When I add my own images to the theme, I basically just use apktool to extract the apk, then go into the projects folder and replace the images I want to replace. Then just zip it back up, and sign the file - you'll get a "signedBlueBionic.apk" or whatever file to use. It should install with no problem.

On a side note, if you want to make any other changes, like add a percentage battery, you can run the theme through UOT at http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/. You can also change all kinds of other stuff as well. I run it through there to get a percentage battery, and to add some other images not changed by the theme.

Be careful changing out PNG files - if you accidentally delete a png or remove anything, the theme will not install properly. THat's been my experience, at least. Also, when you install, you'll get some sort of popup error about the sizes not be defined or something like that. Just ignore it.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
Cm60 might have some changes to the apks for the zipthemer.. I'm trying to figure it out....If i just flash the rom im good.. But if i flash the zip that i made of blue bionic it throws the phone into a bootloop.... Any suggestions . Thank you..Please PM me..

Do the colored number dialer morphs just change the color of the numbers? Or does it also add the trays underneath of the numbers? I would love to have blue numbers, but dont really care gor the trays.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
They only change the number colors, to get the trays you would have to install an xtreme dialer first.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
which morph files include the lense lockscreen?
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
also Dont Panic... You think you could make a dialer for these themes that look similar to the dialer shown in this thread?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031798

The paid version of NinjaMorph claims to be able to modify images in market apps. Given Stericson's rep, I believe him, though I have not tried it.
[Android Themes] :
Downloaded the free version and can't get it install on my phone. Wondering if phone needs to be s-off because the aria is not or if it just does not support my device. May send the dev a email and see if he has any ideas or answers. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Android Themes] life:
would the zipthemer work for icons as well?

if so that would make this really easy
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
@E.Cadro: Ya, you likely need s-off for that.

@life_420: It would only work for icons in system apps. Pretty sure ZipThemer would break a market app.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
From what I'm using from here, it all works on CM 7.0.3

F@#$!!!! Never seen this before.....

[Android Themes] jcbbas:

[Android Themes] matrx10503:
I did the MinimalMagicAddonMorph.zip

But I do not like the lockscreen lense style.....are there ways to change the lockscreen lense type?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Here is a morph that will return only the stock lense image for you. If you find/have another you like, just replace the file in this morph.

Hdpi: StockLenseMorph.zip

I'm open to suggestions, the lense style isn't one I use.
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
Oh woww nice! Desk clock n music player skins would be nice. Could you do a fm radio one as well??
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
Also is there a way you could upload just the lockscreen for the minimal magic.... I'm combining a bunch of things n when I flash a battery icon the lockscreen changes from minimal magic to a random one... which still looks good but I liked yours.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Metamorph doesn't work on market apps, so I assume no on fm radio.

To get just the lockscreen, download the minimal basic morph and remove progress_horizontal.xml. Though, none of the minimal morphs would interfere with a battery icon. What do you mean by random lockscreen?
[Android Themes] Sinistah_:
The fm radio comes with cm7 doesn't it? Cause idk if I saw iit when my phone was stock.

And I have a diff sense like theme combined with your minimalistic stuff, a battery icon, and a diff usb picture. And when I apply the last two, some how the minimalistic add ons go away and I end up without it. Or last night, I had everything cept your screen lock.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
It isn't on my phone. I just downloaded CM for the vision, and you are right, it comes with your rom and is theme-able. I wonder why CM for the Droid doesn't have the FM.apk with it.....

Edit: Just installed FM.apk as a system app on my phone, it FC's when I open it, so I'm guessing there is a reason CM doesn't have it included for the sholes. I dropped the apk in my Maybe Theme Later folder.
[Android Themes] matrx10503:
Thanks for that

I didn't mean anything by "I do not like it"...as in a condescending way

anyway

I wish I had suggestions though.....I don't know, wish I was more creative atm...All I could say is maybe just editing up the stock just a bit by like inverting the colors to say black/white since it all about being "Minimal".

But some diversions from stock look, could turn out great also.....
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
No offense taken, to each his own. This made me remember I forgot to add lense to the transparent morphs, so I just updated them. :)

[Android Themes] dzdeb:
Great stuff, working well on CM7 RC4.

There is one thing that I would like and have not been able to do myself.

I really do not like the alarm notification (for when an alarm is set but not actually ringing) icon and want to change it, but I have not been able to find where it is referenced at all. I was digging in the framework-res.apk and DeskClock.apk, but could not find it.

Any ideas on where it might be hiding???
[Android Themes] poontab:
Minimal was exactly what I needed. Thanks
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Ya, it's in the SystemUI.apk, along with the bluetooth and airplane mode notifs. Morph causes a FC loop during installation of files in SystemUI.apk and Phone.apk. That is the reason I have not included some notifications and changes to the in-call/answer screen in the full package. I will soon be releasing an option to theme those, but it will come with special instructions that require a battery pull. :( Was hoping not to have to go that route, but can't seem to find another solution.

What theme are you using? I may have the special pack ready for it, I could send it to you......

Np, sorry it took so long to get out.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
It works though.... coming soon, special 'finishing touchs' packs.
[Android Themes] soypoi:
Do these themes work only for a specific rom or would I be able to download to another rom?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I have only tested them on CM7. I don't know any reason why they wouldn't work on something else. They only make changes in framework-res.apk and Contacts.apk.

Note though, these are not meant to be stand alone themes. The Theme Chooser can theme things Metamorph can't, and vis versa. Combined they allow for a pretty complete theme without having to flash a rom.

If you try it, please let me know how it goes, and what rom you are using.

Thanks.

Edit: If it works for you, I'll theme the battery and a few other things to make them a bit better for other roms.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
These are awsome....

Any chance to use the multi DPI version of the Xtreme dialer for the HDPI ? I used it on mine and it works but because I am using 185 dpi it looks smaller than normal.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Thank you.

That pack isn't done yet, but will be soon. I plan to have the 'finishing touches' packs released by the end of the weekend.

If I am understanding what you are asking correctly......

To use the mdpi version/icons on a hdpi device, download the mdpi version, move it and extract it as normal. Once extracted, use a file manager to go here: sdcard/AndroidThemes/"dialer morph folder"/Contacts/res

You will see a folder there called drawable-mdpi-finger. Rename it to drawable-hdpi-finger, then run the morph.

Not sure if those icons will work for you though either.....

Edit: Now that I have some coffee in me, I'm pretty sure those icons would just be even smaller than before.
[Android Themes] dzdeb:
Sounds great. After you letting me know that the icon was in the SystemUI.apk, I was able to switch it myself, but if your update is going to make it easier to do that would be awesome.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
How did you do it? Were you able to do it without a FC loop during installation?

Mine will be pretty easy, but I hate releasing something that requires a battery pull to complete.
[Android Themes] dzdeb:
I pulled the SystemUI.apk, opened it with WinRar, and pulled the stat_notify_alarm.png, made my changes, and then pushed it back into the .apk file through WinRar.

Then using adb...

adb shell mount /system
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app

I have been doing this for any of the .apk's in /system/app to change how some of the icons look. But it takes forever, mostly finding out exactly where the icon files are stored.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
@dzdeb: Thanks. Was hoping you had a magic solution in metamorph. Ya, this morph way will be faster to do them all. I think I'll update that to the top of my to-do list now that I'm done with this:

Minor update for all Full and Basic morph versions.

Background of volume bar will be transparent black instead of grey.

Pointers on sliders are now the theme color.

Full version also gets a cleaner black & theme color pattern for the waiting to download bar and now USB Andy stays the same color and raises his other arm when USB storage is in use.
[Android Themes] dzdeb:
Well, I am not too familiar with metamorph. Just started playing with it yesterday when I picked up RedRemix.

For now it can at least work as a temp fix for some of those tricky icons. Maybe I will whip up a few .bat files to make it quicker. Or even better... a little program that will let you select what things you want changed, let you load up you own/found icons and push them.

EDIT:

I looked at the thread with UpwardSprial and realized that maybe the .bat's or a program won't work for everyone :(
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
Just a little icon to add might be the charging icon on the lock screen.

I'm getting a 500 error when I try to download the undo zip for the mdpi dialer morph. Is this due to traffic, or is there an issue with the link?

EDIT: must have had something to do with the fact that i was trying to download it from my phone. the file downloaded fine on my PC, then i added it to my own dropbox folder, and it downloaded on my phone fine from my account. eh. technology is flawed.

Hey guys, in a couple of screenshots from the Orange theme in the OP, the contacts list has a transparent background and it's market app has changed colours. I'm using the cyan theme and morphs like these have not occurred for it. Am I missing something or has it not been implemented yet? Thanks.
[Android Themes] rion_j:
man, these are awesome! thank you very much. i've always been leery about using morphs, but these worked perfectly! question: do i need to use the revert back to stock images before changing themes? or when changing themes, you simply use the morphs again if you want? i thought i read in the OP that themes right over morphs?
