Hello all, this is my first theme release! This is a metamorph framework for MDPI devices inspired by HC Reedited icons by dj_deez. Also included is the honeycomb lockscreen font. More details included in the readme.

Tested on Froyo by Lazslo

How to use Metamorph:

Always Nandroid before flashing any theme.

1. Download and install the Metamorph app from the Android market.

2. Open Metamorph, allow checks and Superuser. Press menu, open settings and increase Metamorph Delay to 3500 or so.

3. If this is a new theme, choose Unzip/Extract new theme and navigate to downloaded theme zip file on your SD card.

4. Click on the zip file and Metamorph will extract the theme files automagically.

5. Information about the theme may be displayed. Select "Close" when done.

5. A list of all the sub-themes will be displayed. Click ‘Apply All!’

6. Select "Continue" to apply framework-res themed files.

7. Reboot if it doesn't happen automatically.

Tips:

- Once you have completed all the checks in the Metamorph, you can Disable startup checks in Metamorph settings. You can also Disable the warning regarding framework-res too.

- After you've Metamorphed once, you can delete the theme zip file from your SD card if you'd like. The extracted theme is saved in AndroidThemes on your SD card.

Extras:

Included in the extras folder is a wallpaper pack as well as a dock and icon set for ADW launcher. However I'm sure they will also work with launcher pro (not tested)

Enjoy, Comments & Criticism Welcome!

Hi, is there a way to connecty vibrant with bionix to a ad hoc wifi? Theres aguide, but it was for othwr phone, not shure if i should use it or not..

Thanks!
[General Topics] oka1:
Well not alot on this but a couple of things that you need to remember, if you are trying to do a peer to peer, then both sides need to be enabled, Also, if you are doing a open wifi remember to open the browser and click accept terms if use agreement.

The Adhoc can be done this way :

Here is a site explaining it

[General Topics] groggycl:
can't get it to work. The ad hoc connection I am trying to connect is a win7 ad hoc. I did it so I can connect my phone and use it as a remote for xbmc and windows mouse/keyboard.

Any other option?
[General Topics] hitokiri_jaguar:
I did the same thing, you can use connectify (type connectify.me) in your pc and connect to it in the phone as with any other wifi connection

or you could use PCremote and bluetooth

I recently migrated from free x10 to this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945264) with custom kernal (z/tripnraver) and ever since then, android system has been using more battery than cell standby and even sometimes display, and my battery time is much less than usual. when i moved from free x10 i restored data, btw... anyone know why this is happening to me?

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] case0:
Was really surprised to read this in a review just now, I had no idea:

" There's also an issue with power consumption. The dock doesn't exactly have an on/off switch, so even when not in use it'll eat up power as it waits to see if you've docked an Eee Pad to it. ASUS expects to address this with a future firmware update for the dock next month. The update will put the unit into an ultra low power state when docked if the tablet is in standby, and power down completely when not attached to the tablet."

So when my dock comes its going to be pretty useless unless I leave it plugged in all the time. Not impressed! :/
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] djdevine2:
Where did you read this?! That seems interesting....
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Magnesus:
It's from anandtech.com review.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] case0:
Yeh, link here - http://www.anandtech.com/show/4277/asus-eee-pad-transformer-review
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Lorimere:
Kind of a bummer. But not a big issue for me when they say ASUS is aware of the problem and an update will be out shortly to fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] foxmeister:
It may be no issue at all given the dock hasn't shipped yet. This might be the reason it is delayed.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] quietas:
It was also noted that Asus expects to fix this with a firmware update soon. Sleep mode while docked and when not docked an extreme sleep of some sort.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] digitheatre:
for the keyboard that has already shipped out (if there's any?), how ASUS perform firmware update on the keyboard dock itself?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] knoxploration:
The same way they perform an update on the tablet. Or the same way a DSLR manufacturer updates the firmware in your lenses. Or any other firmware-updatable hardware system updates firmware where only one part of the system is net connectable or has a UI.

The update is queued through the tablet, and the next time you attach the tablet to the dock (or perhaps the next time you're updating the tablet's firmware with the dock attached), the tablet handles updating the dock's firmware.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] digitheatre:
ok. thanks for the explaination.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nxt:
Also in some videos I've seen when the person goes to the About "Phone" and goes all the way down there is a section saying "Dock Firmware Version"

So yes it's definitely updateable.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khartaras:
So, due to the huge amount of threads with information for the X8 I found, I think getting the info you need is pretty confusing.

Before you get started here are some smilies to motivate you and cheer you up: :) :) :D :) :)

There. Feel better? I'm sure you do.

Download THIS: http://ul.to/l7wf2z6q

That pack has everything you need.

Not saying that this is

THE

A Warning

Updates and Basebands

Advanced

If you need basebands for your X8, here's a helpful thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976538

Flash them with FlashTool.

Custom ROMs

Alright, when it comes to custom ROMs, it's mainly personal preference. I'll list some ROMs I've tried (and recommend).

7th May 2011 update: Because ROMs just keep getting updated, I won't be making reviews anymore, just gonna place the links to the ROM threads.

For Beginners!

I have tested and can vouch for all of these ROMs.

More advanced ROMs

These use CyanogenMod 7, and the reason why I say these are more advanced ROMs are that they need a little more configuration to get up and running then these miniCM roms.

Time for FAQs!

Frequently Asked Questions

This section will (hopefully) answer all your questions related with the X8. If you still have any doubts, go ahead and post here, or send me a PM.

SuperOneClick is stuck at "Waiting for device"!

This is most likely caused by the lack of USB drivers for your X8. Go ahead and click Driver Check in SuperOneClick. If the window that pops up says "No issues found!" the problem is NOT your USB drivers. Otherwise, download PC Companion (which comes with the USB drivers for the X8) right here. Install PC Companion and give your PC a reboot.

My Pinch Zoom isn't working!

First off, let's be sure you know HOW to use your pinch zoom. Open Gallery, or MultiTouch Visualizer, and place one finger after the other. Spread them apart and it should work. If not, things get a little bit more complicated. Install and prepare the Android SDK on your PC (instructions below). In the CMD window, type in "adb shell" (without quotes). Then write "cd /system/lib/modules" (also without quotes). After that type in "ls" and look for a file called x8gesture.ko. If it's not there, refer to the post below for instructions on how to install modules. If it IS there, check the first post of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004740.

I'm working on this section whenever I have time, which doesn't happen a lot, because of school.

Are you sure you extracted the files from the xRecovery zip? Extract the 3 files from the zip and copy them to the /system/bin folder using root explorer. You need to be rooted, too.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mtechfan:
I bought the same kind of thing for my X10 and loved always having a spare battery on hand. So I got a package for the Arc as well.

I gave the batteries the full charge/discharge cycle and they perform just as good as the original battery :D Also comes with a USB port and an extra Micro USB cord.

Pictured: Original Battery on left, aftermarket one on right. The external charger plugs directly into the wall and has a usb port and cable(which charges the Arc fine).

Got it from eBay and it was very affordable.

And... yes I watermarked the image so some douche doesn't steal the image to use :p
[Xperia Arc Accessories] commodoor:
It looks nice, so you get two batteries and a charger. nice what was the price if it?
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mtechfan:
I got it for just $9.98 US + $2.99 for shipping. Cheap IMO, but they have more auctions. It came with a free capacitive pen thing, but I don't care for it.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson...085490?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf6708bf2
[Xperia Arc Accessories] diggedy:
That is quite cheap. How are you finding the batteries though? Usually cheaper ones usually only have around 80% of their specified rating.

On an unrelated note, last night I actually found out what the word "douche" means. Quite funny
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mtechfan:
They seem to last just as long, if the capacity is less. It is not noticeable. No worries though... I got a spare! ;)

LOL! You learned a new word :p
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Step666:
If that.

There's also the potential problem of them not being manufactured with the same quality control etc, so being more at risk of swelling, bursting, over-heating and generally destroying your phone in some sort of horrible burn-y acid-y way...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] kiyu727:
Ye, I wouldnt be able to put in a battery like that in my beloved Arc.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Xajel:
I just hate turning off the phone to change the battery.. Imagine the phone can run without a battery for some seconds :D

larger batteries are better, but you can't find original larger batteries so you have to depend on 3rd party makers...

I'm thinking about Mugen Power batteries now thought they don't have Arc compatible batteries yet... the nice thing about these is they provide larger capacity ( and also bigger size ) but they also make the back cover that can hold the new bigger batteries and they make a lot of them for variety of phones... just take a look at their site !

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Step666:
I've looked at Mugen before.

If they release a larger battery for the Arc with a cover that basically fills in the concavity (ie makes the back flat), I will have to give serious consideration to it - if it's a reasonable bump in capacity that is.

If the replacement back were to bulge though, I would rather have shorter battery life and a slinkier phone though...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mtechfan:
Well, there are crappy ones and good ones. I have used them (aftermarket) in my X10 without any problems whatsoever, so if you don't trust them then don't buy them. Don't whine and complain about something if you have not used it yourself.

I know what happens if you plug your device by USB all the time, it will break! When it happens to you, you will start a thread to complain about it and I will be here laughing :D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] FrAsErTaG:
with all my devices ive purchased a cheap hongchong battery charger with spare chinese battery's. Originally the batteries are as good but after time they dwindle, thats fine though they cost bugger all.

Ive never had issues with swelling, overheating etc but I do not have a habit of overcharging things.

Ive used these style batteries in my diamond,hd2,g1,magic,n1,desire and soon the play.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mtechfan:
Yep, 10 bucks is not very much. You can buy batteries alone for even less :p
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Xajel:
If I want a second battery I'll go for original batteries... but I hate changing the battery ( infact I hate turning off the phone then turning it on again, and what I hate more is adding another battery to what I'm already carrying !! )

that's why I prefer larger batteries, sadly SE and most other manufacturers don't offer these, specially SE for the Arc as I know SE response will be ( larger battery will be larger physically and this will require modifying the back cover to be larger and this will destroy the design of Arc !! ).. I'm okay if that battery will just make the back cover flat, I can live with that... but I can't live with carrying another battery and the hassle of changing the battery...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] FrAsErTaG:
Each to they're own I guess the one minute to change battery and reboot far outweighs having to place the phone on a charger.. I don't carry a spare its just if I'm at work its 4 pm and my battery is low I don't care because one minute after I'm home its 100% again...
[Xperia Arc Accessories] PollPixx:
Well my experience with 3rd party batteries is they perform well in the beginning but their life time is significant less than originals.

By the way the watermark doesn't stop people from using your picture. If I have to I can remove it within three minutes and no one will notice it was there, but most people don't know how to do so or prefer searching for another picture to use for their own benefit... Best and only way to keep your pictures to yourself is not putting them on internet:D
[Xperia Arc Accessories] mtechfan:
Yeah, but such a large watermark takes time to remove. Removing it and reposting my image gives me all the proof I need of malicious intent. That would allow me to sue the violators ass off. I have caught people before and claimed damages from them, copyright law is on my side because I have that watermark on there in the first place :D

It is possible, but they don't do. So if my zip works on all roms, you can simply apply your rom how it is described in the rom thread and boot it to be sure the rom works and then flash my zip.
