[Android Themes] BlankDEP:
Can someone please help with the metamorph installation, I've never done one before and it doesn't seem to be working.

I downloaded the file, and its on my SD card. I open Metamorph, it does its check, and then I select to extract a new theme. I navigate to the file, it extracts, and then a window pops up that says ICSmorph (vnull) with a button that says close. After hitting close, I can select to apply all.

I hit apply all, and it pops up saying Please Wait applying framework-res.apk theme 1 of 1 with with a spinning circle.

It will sit there forever if I don't restart the phone or force close metamorph.

What should I do to make this work?
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Just take out the battery and put it back in and turn phone back on and you should be good
[Android Themes] BlankDEP:
I appreciate the help, how long should I leave it applying before I pull the battery?
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Once it get stuck saying applying for like 15 to 20 seconds then take out the battery and put it back in. Unfortunately it happens to most of so your not the only 1
[Android Themes] BlankDEP:
Awesome, thank you for the help
[Android Themes] Flip35:
Hey after i downloaded I have to hit the button on the right? Extract new theme? I'm asking cuz I'm also having issues with it, I got it to work earlier but since I had to reinstall cm7 for some fc. Issues I can't get it to work now n I guess I'm not doing the same steps I did earlier
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
No problem

---------- Post added at 05:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

Yes and either update it or replace it and follow the same steps i told person before
[Android Themes] mcfarlan:
I'm running CM7 -230 nightly on Droid Inc. I get the flashing whenever I am plugged in. When I disconnect it goes away....I think it simply means the phone is charging. Can't say why yours does not show it...
[Android Themes] MarcoPolo78:
Really digging this theme man ! Keep up the excellent work !
[Android Themes] fdroko:
great work !!! :D

because I get so the screen?
[Android Themes] DNicolasL:
I get the error "cannot open file"
[Android Themes] jayzeroeee:
Great job so far!

I know it's a work in progress, so don't take these as demands, just pointing stuff out. The power control widget should not be transparent, you can see how it looks here. Also, the pop up windows should not be transparent either, you can see what they look like here.

The entire screenshot gallery on Endgaget shows how a lot of things should look. Check it out here. http://www.engadget.com/photos/ice-cream-sandwich-android-4-0-screenshot-gallery/#4538972
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Omg I love this theme :D well done and keep up the work! Is there a way you can add a 4g icon or make a zip and also would like the notifications and status bar icons to be gray also? Thanks
[Android Themes] qbking77:
How to and review video is up :D

[Android Themes] x Taz x:
Theme looks great. Thank you.
[Android Themes] dLo GSR:
the text bar for searches ansld browsing looks odd on a qhd screen. also this shows the green battery bar

EDIT: also, couldn't get a SS of it, but the popup menu transparency in browser, etc is super transparent (~50%) making things hard to read.
[Android Themes] :
what are the extras for?
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
It warned me about the theme not working with my screen res (qHD), but I applied anyway and am not seeing any problems that others aren't seeing anyway, so that's cool.

I've only noticed problems with the google search (pressing the search button from the home screen). It just looks all sorts of messed up... A post a few before this also mentioned that general text bars for searches are weird (on qHD possibly alone)

And the vibrate/alarm/etc. icons in the status bar are white. You say that's how they are in the SDK...any way we could get a version with blue icons, even if it's not "stock"? Or could I just bluify them myself and slip them into the apk somehow? Not sure how to do that...

Other than that, looks great! You've done a lot in a short amount of time with this! Thanks a ton
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Hey where did u get the 4g icon from?
[Android Themes] db306:
Anyone know why none of the lettering shows in the drop down?
[Android Themes] juaninamillion:
Which font are you using? I'm using the ones that came from the sdk, butbthey don't look as thin as yours. Could it be my resolution? I have a qhd screen.

[Android Themes] lwfb:
Here's my screen, really loving this theme!

I'm more than happy with this, until I can get my hands on a Galaxy Nexus, that is :)
[Android Themes] B2L:
I was wondering the same thing. Other than that it's a great theme, everything is looking awesome on my Nexus S.
[Android Themes] b00sted:
dont work 100% on my OG droid but sooo sexy
[Android Themes] A2Eric:
Will it work on a Nexus One?
[Android Themes] c_live_lee:
I would think it will as long as you're running cm7.
[Android Themes] A2Eric:
i am running CM7 but getting an error "Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size". Just tried it anyway and it looks horrible. Oh well, will continue to wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Themes] dagnus:
this would be epic. only thing missing from my perfect experience. but over all, ****ing amazing theme and i really like the updates in 1.2.

sonny is a god!
[Android Themes] sino8r:
Do you think its more accurate than CM7's battery precentage or is that just the name?

I took a look at the apks and that was a lot of work you must have put into it! Nice job!

[Android Themes] Mustang302LX:
My dialer is still transparent but Google search is fixed.

Sent from my Thunderbolt running CyanogenMod 7 using the Tapatalk app.
[Android Themes] J0ESK0:
+1 for me as well. I would like to have this theme to be as close to replicating ICS as possible. As much as I do like the transparent dialer, it has no place in this theme as its not ICS.

Either way though, thank you again sonny, this is the best theme I've ever seen!
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Please vote for your preferred dialer background.

The one with the most votes will be included in the next update.

If more people choose the black background, I will keep the transparency code in there so can simply swap an image to get the transparent background.
[Android Themes] crissbm:
+1 for black background...
[Android Themes] avgjoemomma:
Thanks so much. The segmented one looks great on my N1 :D
[Android Themes] Mustang302LX:
+1 for opaque bg over the transparent. I like the black better.

Sent from my Thunderbolt running CyanogenMod 7 using the Tapatalk app.
[Android Themes] hurtz777:
I'm glad ya like it avg. I will try to upload v1.2 with segmented battery and my favorite hc battery as long as v1.3 isn't out by then. :-P
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
+100 for the black background. Come on people vote for the black background since it looks more official and you can SEE the numbers and contacts clearly, with the transparent background you hardly could see it :p
[Android Themes] hurtz777:
+1 for official black background on dialer!
[Android Themes] macmark88:
can you please permanently change the h icons to 4g? i have to change myself every update. its exhausting. thanks :D
[Android Themes] hurtz777:
Yeah I will admit I saved a lot of heartache and time and cooked those at the kitchen. Clicking is much easier then coding. :-P The battery is 1% interval accurate and works flawlessly from what I can tell. In my opinion those two were the best looking batteries with honeycomb being my favorite. I will have to agree with sonny that the stock battery fits the best with the theme, but it is so boring and I need numbers as well as many other people.
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
+1 i agree
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
that means that i'll be seeing 4g then, instead of h, so nooo!!! we don't even have 4g here yet =.=
[Android Themes] hurtz777:
I would like to see either the segmented or honeycomb accurate battery mod added myself for finishing touches since they blend in great. Does anyone agree?
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
I should have been clearer. Please use the poll to vote for the dialer.
[Android Themes] avgjoemomma:
+1 - I prefer this than standard battery meter or optional percentage display in CM7
[Android Themes] hurtz777:
Ok I'm a momo. Sonny where is the dialer poll?
[Android Themes] Mazda:
Why not just keep it the same and have a flashable zip for the ICS black with slanted grey lines, that way EVERYONE wins and nobody gets upset over the look of your theme?
[Android Themes] sino8r:
I agree! Its kinda hard to see... go for what is more ICS-esk.

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

I've been providing them since the official. Its just something I wanted but might as well share. I prefer the H+ but will continue the 4G and lower battery since that's what most want. I'm not trying to go against anything sonny has done but we have different goals... He wants everything to be stock ICS but I like a few changes here and there. I am not trying to upset anyone though either. Besides, those little changes I made were easy once you fix the images. You just use those old ones and throw them in the zip and resign. Not hard at all. Takes 2 minutes literally. Plus, those 4G images you use are already in the apk, lol! All you have to do is rename 8 files and sign. That's hardly anything ;)
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
That won't work. Its an either/or situation. Whatever is in my theme will supersede anything you may have flashed.
[Android Themes] sino8r:
My guess is he puts it on the market and I don't see any flashable zips there, do you? Sure, it would be easier but more people will have access to it on the market. That's just my guess.

Oppss... I better shut up now. Didn't mean to speak for anyone. My apologies. I just really like this theme and have gotten somewhat passionate about it, lol! Sonny's the man;)
[Android Themes] Robertleehadley:
Is anyone else's twitter app have purely grey text? Kinda weird
[Android Themes] nachopre:
Or at least, as you did before, share the file/s to change so everyone can do it by themselves

Thanks!
[Android Themes] cwburns32:
I have done some research both on Google and the search bar but I've had no luck. When I extract the ICS Extras zip where on the Android system files do you replace the icons, wallpapers, etc. ??

Sure it's a stupid question but I'm stumped lol
[Android Themes] thebeardedchild:
Yeah, it's a small sacrifice in order for the widget to look normal
[Android Themes] Mustang302LX:
I voted for the black BG and I'm shocked it's not winning.
[Android Themes] henrichg:
+ for black background
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Wish I could vote more than once for black:( because once you go black you never go back haha
[Android Themes] raddacle:
Black! Just Curious, Sonny what would you go for?
[Android Themes] cwburns32:
Anyone? I know it's crazy stupid but the ugly green messaging icon is fugly.

Unfortunately, I can do that but still would like to know how to replace icons, wallpapers, etc.
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Use ADW launcher or launcher pro
[Android Themes] raddacle:
Using ADW Launcher or Launcher+, hold down on an icon click edit, click on the icon, point to your picture/icon.
[Android Themes] bangdrum:
I can't get this to install from the market. I had the previous version installed at first so I uninstalled it and deleted the app data but it keeps saying it's a incompatible update. Any suggestions?
[Android Themes] carnegie0107:
Yup. Me too. Market still says that it's an update. I rebooted, cleared data for Market... nothing works. Any chance you could post the .apk here?
[Android Themes] cwburns32:
Thanks!

Now what about replacing it in the app drawer? I know I can replace icon on the dock bar but what about app drawer?
[Android Themes] raddacle:
Here is version 1.2 of the theme.
[Android Themes] raddacle:
Glad I could be of help!
[Android Themes] bangdrum:
Thanks bro.
[Android Themes] carnegie0107:
Wow read right past that post and didn't even see it lol. Thanks for linking me without pointing out my poor powers of observation.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Hrm. Won't download from the Market, so I downloaded the .apk, and I 'cannot open file." Redownloaded two more times, no joy. I've got all my colors and layouts and everything tweaked to look ICS-like... now I can't get the theme to work... gonna try pushing to /system/app, chmod-ing, and rebooting to see if that works.

EDIT: gotta love titanium backup. Used that to remove the app, then it installed from Market just fine.
[Android Themes] cosvel:
Great theme.... good job... with the morph files the lock screen looks amazing...

Thx...
[Android Themes] tarroyo:
LOL all good
[Android Themes] raddacle:
You cant install it from the downloads manager, you need to use a file manager like Root Explorer.
[Android Themes] hugospacep:
Improperly compilation!

I'm sorry but haven't the courage to read the all thread, but am I the only one

to get an error of compilation during the installation: "this theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied"

Thanks for your help.
[Android Themes] cosvel:
The metamorph file was updated too?

thx
[Android Themes] 2k4ever:
I've done my own little mod of this great theme

All I've done is changing the notification item background color

To me, usability trumps design and in this way black text is visible as well

you can get it from here:

http://www.multiupload.com/DIAGHTFA32

first apply a different theme, uninstall the ICS theme, install this version and apply it

I tried to change the dialer background as well, but the file provided in his post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18792411&postcount=1515) is a jpg one and therefore didn't overwrite the png in the theme

anyway, as it looks like v1.3 is getting the opaque dialer, i'll just wait for that version

1. Set default theme in theme chooser!

2. Unistall previous version BEFOR downloading new one from market!

3. Download from market!

4. Go to theme chooser and set new theme!

Maybe this should be mentioned in OP!
[Android Themes] Nikoldrini:
I experience problems in downloading v1.2 from the market, due to errors in file signature or something like that.

Can you put the .apk file here like you did for pervious versions? thanks and congratulation for your really good job! :)
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
I voted for Black :).

Compilation error comes from trying to apply it on a mdpi/ldpi device. It is already mentioned in the OP that this is for hdpi phones only.
[Android Themes] icke:
That's not correct...yesterday I had same error from 1.0 to 1.1 whithout uninstalling old version. After uninstalling old one everything was fine!;)
[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
Being an ICS noob, I confused this theme with that of the Launcher...

I take this back. I got this theme confused with the latest CM7 with the built in ICS Launcher (which is 1.3)

Overall, great stuff...

[Android Themes] sino8r:
I haven't seen black text yet on my notifications yet everyone keeps meantioning so I must be missing something or didn't notice it.

Guys, please stop with the racial jokes. Someone is going to get offended and the whole thread might get locked. I know everyone is too "pc" these days but you know how it goes. Everybody is mixed with something else in the USA (and most of the entire world) so it really doesn't matter. I'd just hate for sonny's thread to get locked because we were joking around about taboo stuff.
[Android Themes] Piemo:
I get a bluetooth icon under every icon in the notification bar (can't make a screenshot there) instead of the coloured bar; and also it's quiet impossible ti understand if wifi, 3g, gps toggle are on or off
[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Hey sonny, if you dont mind me asking but how old are you?
[Android Themes] Speakershock:
Im having a problem with the theme. It says that it is missing files for my phone (sgs running KANG cm7.1). I think thats why my toggles stay green. Anyone with the same problem?
[Android Themes] redrum781:
Anyway, I have Lookout security installed. I can only see lookout icon in notification pull down, text is black and therefore invisible. Please fix that.
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
change the colour in cm settings -> interface -> notification power widget -> tick hide indicator, or change the indicator colour.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
27.

Since the votes are tied now, how about this:

Its transparent, a bit darker and has the slanted grey lines.
[Android Themes] Mazda:
That looks perfect....I like it!
[Android Themes] equilni:
How about a third & fouth option for the poll - a darker transparent background & a black background.

I would like the dialer black, but a darker transparency would work too if I had light wallpapers....

This is ugly imo:

http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ICS-Dialer.png

from: Droid-Life ICS Nexus Gallery

Quick suggestions:

1. Anyway to get the quick settings icon/link in the notification dropdown like:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/images/4.0/lock-camera-lg.png

I didn't see the icon in the SDK, closest was a grey one:

(path) drawable-hdpi/ic_sysbar_quicksettings.png

2. You notice there is a 4G icon with the signal icon here:

http://www.google.com/nexus/#slide-plus

Anyway to make that happen (for 3g/1x too)? I am not crazy about having a second icon for my signal.

[Android Themes] Jiggs82:
Oh ok cool...Im 2 years older than you :p and I like the new dialer but still would love the notification pull down and sub menu darker black lol
[Android Themes] qman66:
where would this be located in root explorer?
[Android Themes] withbloodskies:
Loving this. Looks very nice.
[Android Themes] qman66:
where is this located in root explorer?
[Android Themes] 2k4ever:
better, but i would prefer it without transparency at all - just like ICS
[Android Themes] Babis_ECE:
This looks perfect!

+1 from me. :)
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
I thought that ICS from Nexus Prime has transparent dialer as the new feature, just sdk dump doesn't..
[Android Themes] sino8r:
That does clarify some unknowns for me. It really does look great in the flesh and this theme is pretty close to that.

To sonny:

As far as the dialer, you should go with ICS. I mean you did say you wanted to stick with pure ICS and not cater to everyone's personal opinions, correct? If you don't stick with that, you might as well throw in all the everyone's mods and likes but you'd still have people complain. That's the way it is, man. You should go with your gut and your original plans to keep it as pure as possible. If people don't like it, they can mod it themselves and share what other's want. That's the whole nature of xda, imo...

And I guess I'm the old man of the group, lol! I'm 30 ;)
[Android Themes] e195aea:
the poll right now it's 50% - 50%!! I prefer it all black too..:)
[Android Themes] thy4205:
The greatest theme of the year :)
[Android Themes] e195aea:
Super +1. You're right!
[Android Themes] formaldehyde:

[Android Themes] te_quiero_forever_girl:
I think the poll for whether the dialer background should be transparent or black with slanted grey lines is kinda unnecessary. Just keep the original (the current one) with the transparent dialer background, then simply make a flashable zip for the other. Simple as that. Personally I'd prefer the grey background cuz it looks more like ICS :-p and it improves scrolling

And about the theme. The notification pull down should look like this

http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php...sshots/gsmarena_037.jpg&idReview=663&idPage=3

(the 2 blue lines beside the circle at the bottom of the bar), and the clock should be white. With those, it will make this awesome theme perfect :x Thanks sonny
[Android Themes] Arh1tekt:
Even thought the slight transparent with lines looks great and feels like something Google would do, I would suggest staying with the real ICS theme which is black background on the dial/phone app. my 2 cents..
[Android Themes] AlexNC75:
This is my only complaint with the theme. When I get multiple notifications, they all blend together since the background is black and there are no dividing lines. But I guess the theme is true to ICS, so I can not really complain. The release ICS is the same as the theme. It would be nice if Google at least put a gray dividing line between each notification.
[Android Themes] nishanty13:
I agree with this guy

Is there a way to get the lockscreen to look like this?
[Android Themes] kladd:
App MagicLocker with the Android4 theme.
[Android Themes] drob311:
If magic locker makes your phone wonky (it did for a bunch of evo shifts) just use the morph zip in the op... it isn't the exact ics lockscreen but its close and doesn't wonk up my phone... lol

That's the worst screenshot ever... sorry :)

Using adw? Go into adw settings. Go to themes and change your dock icon to the line dock icon found in the extras zip located in the op... launcher pro and go launcher you have to change the dock background to the line dock pic in the extras zip or you can use the ics launcher...
[Android Themes] Zlatty:
Did you apply the ICS morph?
[Android Themes] drob311:
It doesn't matter... they have to be changed in the cm settings...
