I went into fix permissions and Im trying it all over again, including putting in the zip file AND the apk file and will see what happens..yeah no themes were working properly, not even the ones that the android cm7 came with, it would always stay the same, the only one that I noticed any difference in was some free honeycomb 3d theme that I found on the android marketplace

Ok so this is the error message that I see when I try to apply the theme "Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size" and it asks me to apply anyway or "bummer" I press apply anyway and NOTHING changes
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
sounds like there is a problem with your CM7 install. id recommend reinstalling
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TheFoolishness:
Just installed it. Loving it so far.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
I love the theme! Great job!! Installed it on my touchpad
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A05049:
Thanks so much this is a fantastic theme.

Is any way to make the status bar transparent?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] crump84:
Just put this on my TouchPad.. Looking really good man. It's nice to see some different theme options. Thanks for the work
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Puddynose:
Joe, I have installed (and love) your theme but I can't figure out how to get a battery percentage on my status bar. I only have a battery icon which isn't that helpful. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hotts23:
I believe that is just how the icon is, you can change it to the percentage style in CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks; however, you get either the percentage or the icon not both.

I have another question to add though, joenathane...on the screenshots on the first post the lines underneath the quick icon for wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc are blue when you pull up the notification bar....mine are green though. Any thoughts? I am running the latest version on HP Touchpad with CM Alpha 3.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Sorry but I don't have the time to maintain another version of the theme, believe it or not but i'm having trouble even just supporting the additional small clock version, there turn out to be all types of unexpected complications...

Glad you like it :)

Looking good!

No problem :)

Like hotts23 commented you can select that option under the CyanogenMod settings

Check my install notes(under "recommended") in the OP for instructions on that. ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Alpha 3.1

uploaded-

Metamorph is going to make supporting multiple devices and builds much easier!

If you are upgrading from an older version, it's not necessary but, you may want to first restore your original SystemUI.apk, you can do that by reflashing your ROM.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hotts23:
Ahh...that's what I get for not reading the OP fully haha :p. Thanks joe, loving the theme, keep up the great work!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Any ideas about the brightness widget? Still stuck on auto even after flashing latest kanged nightly.

Not a biggie, just curious ;)

Great work!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] coled91:
here we go
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
I'll look into it but I can't promise anything(it's the craziest bug) ...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
I figured. No worries :)

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Here are a few more things I've installed while waiting for CM9 to go with Joe's hard word:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
after installing the theme Status Bar repeatedly force closes. So for TP users, restore original SystemUI.apk is mandatory.

thanks for the update
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Did it continue to FC after rebooting? After installing the MetaMorph it'll repeatedly FC until you restart....

I'll try to reproduce, if anyone else has this happen to them after rebooting let me know.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
no it did not. however the status bar did get re-arranged. I corrected it by just applying the the default theme in theme chooser and re-applying your ICS.

btw, I did get a "missing asset" error applying your theme in MetaMorph. I continued to apply anyway and proceeded with the akp install and theme chooser process.

I have not had any luck with MetaMorph in the years past and I didnt expect i'd have any luck now :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] killdashn9ne:
My touchpad is having this issue as well. Metamorph borked it.

Any suggestions for getting back to something that worked minus a restore?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bkmo:
There is a great Market app called Zipthemer that works much more consistently than metamorph. You use it to create a flashable zip from the metamorph theme.zip. It will also allow you to create an undo.zip to flash back to a b4 state.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
just restore the original cm7 alpha3 zip and DON'T wipe anything. it will get you back to your working state. unless you did a nandroid before metamorph borked it or know how what to do after mounting the /scdard in cwm.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Thanks i'll checkout zipthemer..

I don't think there is any problem though, no one seems to have read the install instructions or release notes... In which I mention both that the softkeys have been rearranged and that once you apply the MetaMorph the statusbar will FC until you reboot and after rebooting everything will be fine.

edit: zipthemer just creates what I had before, a SystemUI.apk. Although I guess I could just tell everyone to create there own SystemUI.apks using zipthemer and then flash the update.zip.... I may do that if people continue to not read the install instructions....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
My softkeys are rearranged but not the at the arrangement as your screen shot. /Edit/ even after rebooting..

Understood. But please state that it will continuously FC after applying metamorph and you will have to force reboot. Reason I say that is because I've had my statusbar FC once and appear again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
You are very right, I've edited the OP and made that clearer.

Try redownloading the MetaMorph, maybe you got a bad download if it told you there were assets missing.

eidt: Out of curiosity what was the ordering of the softkeys? It seems impossible to me that it could corrupt and randomly reorder the softkeys... but strange things happen sometimes.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
The latest also gave me the same message. it's not really an error since it continues to apply the modifications anyway. Not worried about it.

the "3 dots" shows up as the first in the order instead of last. and the arrow appeared second. anyway, just applying theme chooser from default to your theme worked fine.

byw, there's nothing wrong with your theme on my TP current. just had to tinker with it a bit to finally get it to show like you screen shot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] les02jen17:
I hope you wont forget my request joe! :D Thanks for Alpha 3.1! :D I love it! You're the best!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
My goal for the next release will be to pull everything in under the Theme Chooser apk, which would mean no more flashing or MetaMorphing zip files. Last time I tried I got nothing but force closes, hopefully I can figure it out this time...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] killdashn9ne:
Up and running now.

"no one seems to have read the install instructions or release notes..."

I read the install directions. However, after applying the metamorph zip, I was stuck into a repeating foreclose loop. Five minutes later, I held the back/power button until the device rebooted. Upon rebooting I no longer had a status bar.

So, I restored Alpha 3 without wiping. When it came up, it still had the ICS theme chooser theme loaded, but the metamorph settings were not applied. So, I tried again to apply the metamorph zip. I again encountered the FC loop, however in between FCs, I was able to properly reboot the device. When it came back up, it was fine. You gotta be fast between the FC messages to select reboot.

Not intuitive... not pretty, but it worked.

I'll just stick with the apk file going forward. I reported the Alpha 3 issue where I had to do a restore and now this. The flashing either via metamorph or cwm just doesn't seem stable.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] shywolf28:
I tried ur metamorph and works beautiful thanks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] agemyth:
I am a fan of how your TransformerBread theme turned out and gave this one a shot a week or two ago. I don't recall exactly the issues I had, but it was probably just force closing of my status bar and whatnot. I just reverted back to TransformerBread, so no damage done. Oh right, I think my power buttons in the notifications drawer also stopped working.

Getting the itch to try it again soon though, so if I do I'll try to pay better attention to any issues I may have :P
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
i also lost my status bar after forced reboot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] shywolf28:
On my first initial attempt I did lose my status bar, I had to restore to a backup i had and reinstalled by first installing the theme apk, applying it and then using metamorph, fc the status bar as stated in the instructions but after reboot, status came back up and no problems ever since. Hope that helps some other people, by the way i am using xron modified rom, vlt launcher if that helps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
worked second time around. i feel like everything is HUGE now though, some things are fitting on the screen. but, when an app requests SU, everything is compressed into a box that is too small

edit: some things are huge, and somethings are tiny. dunno how to fix this, changing LCD density didnt help (much)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BoomKaput:
Followed instructions last night and installed it without problems whatsoever. Now rocking the theme like a boss.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rnclock:
Gap in Indicators

Great Job. Just went the metamorph route with no issues. One questions I have (and I noticed this before I upgraded to 3.1 but was hoping it would fix it). I have a large empty gap between my wireless indicator and battery indicator. Have you seen this before, and if so, is it easily fixable? No big deal, just thought I would ask. Thanks again for a great job on this theme.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Question

Why is the menu button the vertical dashed line thingy?

Shouldn't it be the windows-on-top-of-window icon?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rnclock:
Never Mind. I did a complete wipe and re-installed Kang's 7.2 All is good now. Thanks again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
SU has been like that for awhile, it's not related to the theme...

The overlapping windows are the recent apps/multitasking button and the three dots are the menu, like in the screenshot, the three dots there above "sign in" are for the menu.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
What widgets are those news feeds on OP. And also regarding desktop visualizer, and where did those nice looking icons come from
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
I WAS ABLE TO DO IT!!!! :D

I've implemented all the changes all through the theme chooser theme! Which means no more MetaMorphs or Flashing zips! Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet Tweaked Beta 1 coming very soon! I'm just going to test it for a little bit to make sure there are no bugs.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Pulse News reader

I'm not sure if your question about the desktop visualizer is for me? I don't use it...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BoomKaput:
Yayyyyyyyyyy! A winner is US! I think it looks too good to be in alpha stage. *rambles like a drunk man*
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] trentgillham:
Need Help

Hey I used metamorph and it killed my status bar, and I need to put CM7 Alpha 3 back on my touchpad to flash it. The problem is I cannot activat usb mode without the status bar, is there another way to activate usb mode?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
boot to clockworkmod and mount sdcard from there and copy alpha3.

tip1: always leave rom zip in root just in case.

tip2: always make a working nandroid backup so u dont have to reinstall from scratch
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] trentgillham:
Yeah I have a backup, but if I use that backup will it revert my apps back to the ones from when I made the backup? Or will some of my data disappear? Like docs?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
if you restore from nandroid, it will wipe you memory and restore to the apps and cos you have contained on the backup. in otherwords, you will lose anything you installed or saved in the /system and /data. none of your data will be deleted in the /sdard.

I would mount the sdcard in cwm and copy over the alpha3 zip and flash it. it will retain your files.

did you read on the first page? try force restart first before restoring anything!!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] trentgillham:
yeah, i forced restarted, and have restarted many times again. I even tried reapply the metamorph files, but it didnt work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nomadman:
ok. then just flash alpha3 WITHOUT wiping cache/delvik. that will give you back your statusbar. i've done it the first time i applied this theme. it wont harm anything.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] trentgillham:
and thanks for the advice. My status bar is back! Ill just what until joe released the beta with the status bar tweaks in the apk file.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] litobirdy:
Hey i have cm7 alpha 3 and i have the theme of alpha3. and i tried to upgrade to 3.1 but I guess you cant do that since metamorph doesnt mess with systemUI but 3.0 did. I'm trying to replace the systemUI.apk in file manager but I cant copy files in any directory before sdcard.... what can i do? i dont want to install zip alpha 3 rom all over again and lose all the changes I've already made all over the place.

nevermind, i backed up just in case, and reflashed the alphga 3 rom and phew, everything is cool, then followed steps for the newest theme and POOF
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] trentgillham:
Thanks a lot joe. Beta 1 works great for me. The status bar looks good, glad you got it all into the apk.:)

Update: I do have on question. In your screenshots, in the notification pulldown the toggle buttons have a blue underline. Mine are green. Anyway to get them blue?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
I took a look at the layout and decided (back>home>quicknotify>search>menu>hide) looked the best and was most closely inline with Ice Cream Sandwich. I'm sorry it has to be a one size fits all, but I can't reasonably maintain multiple configurations of the theme.

Hopefully in CM9 the Tablet Tweaks will have an option to rearrange the softkeys...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] boxcar8028:
thanks for the legacy "non-tablets" version, its most appreciated. I love your themes Joe, I use them on my NC and my htc aria. looks great. thank you sir:D:D:D:)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rnclock:
Thanks for the new APK. I uninstalled 3.0 (was installed via metamorph), re-flashed ROM, and installed the new legacy 3.1 apk (on CM7.2 NC).

I find it odd however that my softkeys are in a different state (even after rebooting several times) Home>Menu>Back>Search>QuickNotify>Hide

Any thoughts? Not that it matters much, I love the theme no matter what.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
The Legacy is the old version, the Beta 1 is the new version.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
I've also posted this new thread in the general Android themes section http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19920508#post19920508 so other CM7 tablet owners can get in on the love.

I will monitor both equally.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SCWells72:
CM9 won't need Tablet Tweaks' softkeys. They're part of the core OS now. I'm not sure if it's possible to customize the order in ICS, though evidently it does dynamically decide which buttons are needed and only shows the ones that are. I guess with the menu button moving into the top-right drop-down menu and the search button going away, only the home and back buttons are still relevant in ICS.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
I'm well aware, but I figure that CM9 will have customizations specifically for tablets, that will hopefully include the ability to reorder softkeys and add say for example a search softkey or even remove undesired softkeys.

Not sure if you've seen this http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update but I think my supposition is in line with what Cyanogen is saying...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SCWells72:
Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that. I don't see anything in that post that makes me think they're planning to change or extend ICS's soft keys, but perhaps you're talking about something deeper in the comments. Either way, I get what you're saying about CM9 adding many additional customization capabilities above what's available in AOSP, and given that many folks will likely miss a centralized search button, it seems reasonable that would be one of the things they'd add.

Thanks again for the great work on this theme! I'm amazed you were able to get some of these changes into a single APK!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] LakerChick4life:
Just downloaded the beta one(Hoping that this time it will work for my touchpad..so let me understand, because you put everything on an APK I dont have to download metamorph to make it work..just install the APK and open it with theme chooser?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
Correct, no more MetaMorph.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] LakerChick4life:
Thanks so much will try it out and let you know if it works!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rnclock:
All good now. Thank you. And having only APK makes it so easy now. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] eyeballer:
Great work on the theme, just installed beta 1, hadn't installed any of the previous versions. On both my nook color and my touchpad this theme seems to re-order my buttons with back in the most left position:

Also in the ss you can see the button with the three dots, this acts as a "menu" button however, I currently have quick notifications disabled, but if I enable it, then that will be have the menu icon.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] angomy:
I have the same problem as eyeballer. I only use menu back and quick notifications, and they're showing up in the reverse order (notifications, with the icon abbreviated into three vertical dots like eyeballer's, then back, then menu.)

I'm running mrg666's Mirage 7.2 build and not pure CM7 though. I also had flashed the circular battery mod he had made. Not sure if either of those 2 are causing it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
This is a screenshot of Ice Cream Sandwich running on the SDK emulator

Notice the button placement

And this is what the buttons look like when running a legacy app that doesn't have an "action bar" or integrated menu button, the menu softkey only appears when it is needed in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Starting with the first button you have >back>home>recent apps/multitasking>menu

with this theme I'm trying to emulate the look and feel of Ice Cream Sandwich as close as possible...

ICS Beta broken on my CM7 SD card install

Hi Joe,

Great work on the Transformerbread and ICS themes! I've been happily using the alpha versions (large clock) of ICS on my SD based CM7.

When I updated to the beta however, the status bar would FC and would not recover, even with multiple reboots. I'd have to go back to the TB theme to recover the bar, and then reinstall the latest alpha.

No big deal for me, as the alpha works very well, but, just thought I'd mention it...

If this is a problem, I'd be willing to help however I can, but I'm not a Dev, just an old, seasoned software beta tester from WAYYY back.:o

Thanks again!

Dan
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dna59:
I'm running CM7 off SD card and had no trouble. I uninstalled the alpha before I installed the beta.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danvee:
Did exactly that..twice. Still get a status bar shut down. Weird...

Transformerbread works perfectly, as does the alpha.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BoomKaput:
Reflashed rom, uninstalled Alpha 3.1, and installed Beta. No problems so far, looks great as ever. Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] danvee:
Joe, I'm back on r143 :eek: as subsequent nightlies are pretty unstable on my NC- even the RC:confused:. I've tried the latest nightlies and they install OK, but, when I use Titanium Backup to restore all of the apps, I get random reboots during the stage where Go Launcher populates the 7 screens. It's not soley the launcher that does it, as I've tried all of the major players with the same results. When I have time I'll dig into that issue.

On r143 there is no such issue, and the alpha version of your ICS theme works flawlessly- it's just "broken" (for me) with beta 1.

More a mystery than an irritation, as it's working very well as is. I just question when something that previously worked perfectly suddenly stops doing so.:confused:

Thanks Again!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:

Accurate Battery Framework Mods + ICS Beta 1 Theme APK

Well I spent a few hours compiling the framework mod and ICS Beta 1 theme apks so we could have a 1% interval accurate battery mod and battery icon choices instead of the crappy 5% interval battery that comes on stock CM7 Alpha 3. Please follow the steps below to implement the accurate battery mod. I have also included a CWM flashable for both XRON-fied Beta 1 and CM7 Alpha 3 if you would like to go back to stock. I have included the chroma ICS wallpaper that was used in the screenshots in the shared folder if you would like to see how sharp it looks with these mods. If you like my mods please give me thanks and thank joenathane for doing the dirty work to create the best ICS theme out there!

1.) Download either a CM7 XRON-fied B1(Beta 1)or CM7 Alpha 3 flashable CWM zip with the 1% accurate battery mod of your choice. refer to the screen shots below to choose the accurate battery mod of your choice.

2.) Download your 1% accurate battery mod theme apk of your choice. I have added the stock ICS wifi signal bars to the theme apks with wifi in their label. I personally like the stock ICS wifi signal bars over the Honeycomb wifi signal bar.

3.) Install the theme apk of your choice through a file manager or just hit open on it after you download it.

4.) Go to Theme Chooser and select the the theme you just installed and hit apply.

5.) Reboot in to CWM Recovery Mode and flash CWM flashable framework zip that has your accurate battery mod of choice and then finally you can reboot the phone and enjoy the way a battery should really look!

I have shared a folder in my mediafire account and you can download all the files of your choice from http://www.mediafire.com/?3ah5c4t5j2858.
