[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jmanley69:
I think I saw it on this forum... or by a google search... but to install busybox, you download it (again, I think I got the binary from this forum) and put it in a folder like /data/busybox (or on MoDaCo it's in /system/xbin) and then you run busybox --install (or something like that) and it creates all the symlinks.

In order to use the functionality, you have to put into your path the folder where busybox is installed (or at least the symlinks). I found it easier to just install MoDaCo's ROM since you get a lot of other cool things like WiFi tether, apps2sd, superuser whitelist, etc.

Please forgive my "or something like that"'s, but I don't have the exact link to reference... I found the answer (like I said, I think on this forum) just by searching.
[G1 General] jak33:
ok so i just upgraded my cyanogen rom, apps2sd worked fine before but now when in install an app some times i get an error saying this application is not installed on this phone. like for example i just upgraded google maps to get navigation. it dissapeared from the apps list and when i go to market it shows installed but i cant click open of uninstall. any ideas? would a reflash or wipe fix this?

Try fix_permissions, or fix uid packages if you're using Amon_RA's recovery.

[Android Themes] djengizz:
Nice to hear :).

I've updated the OP and added a Hero icon pack.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Next things on my list:

-Create a full theme template for MetaMorph to revert back to stock or for themers to use as an example

-Create community collection packs like a clock collection pack (all the clocks from different themes), a widget collection pack, a battery collection pack, etc.

-Ask the creators of some of the more popular themes for permission to port their themes to MetaMorph

And i am also going to take requests so if you want to see something specific for your favorite ROM let me know and i'll see what i can do.
[Android Themes] epeets:
can't wait till there's more themes that use this. It works great! Much easier than having to restart>recovery>reflash rom>flash them. Strange how my widgets couldn't load without deleteing them off my screen and putting them back there. Not really a big deal though.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Yea, you have to reload the widgets or do a reboot I think...small side affect unfortunately...

Glad you like it!

Stericson
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Yup, that's pretty awesome isn't it.

I especially like the fact that you can just pick the subthemes from a morph that you like, no need to apply everything like you do when flashing a theme. Imagine making a collection of morphs you like on your SD card and just combining those into your own custom theme.

Whenever a new version of your ROM comes out or you switch ROMs everything is already on your SD and you just have to re-apply it. No need to wait for the themers to update or port their themes.

You are in control ;).
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
Just check my NFL thread from my Sig, I have ported 18 of the teams using MetaMorph, and in the next couple weeks, I'll release the NBA too. Screens are posted http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?p=1633#p1633
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Very nice, that's a great collection and you're one of the real early adapters :).

I guess they are not compatible with the app yet and you need the script version? If so do you have any plans on porting them to the app version?

And finally, if you do port them would you mind if i add a link to your themes in the OP ? That would be great.
[Android Themes] prash:
I have my systemforce3 theme in metamorph format. For now I'm not going to link the alienaqua metamorph here since it's included in the metamorph thread, and it was an earlier version which has been updated since. But anywho, here is SystemForce

http://www.injun.org/themes/Prash-MetaMorphTheme-SystemForce3.zip

(Screen shots on main thread)
[Android Themes] djengizz:
That's a classic, thanks a lot.

It would be great if you could convert the .thm file to the new format so i can add it to the OP.

edit: i can do it and re-up it if you like or send you the .thm file (that goes for any theme btw).
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
Yup, I started the first day after the script was put out. I played with the app a little and changed one of them for the app. I'll upload it to my site later and give you the link so you can add it to the OP.

Here is the link for the App version (note this isnt in my NFL thread)

When i run MetaMorph i get "zip was not found on your phone. Metamorph needs this to run. Would you like me to download it and set it up for you?" when i click yes i get "The application MetaMorph (process android.stericson.metamorph) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and Metamorph FC.

[Android Themes] djengizz:
edit: not needed anymore, fixed.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Very nice, it's in there, and i'm looking at it on my phone right now.

I've added 'for AOSP 1.6' cause i'm not sure this would work for things like 2.0 ROMs, Hero, etc. If you could do the same in your .thm file that would be great and it might prevent some user errors.

Nice addition.

Can't get Bootscreen to work with MetaMorph

I have been trying to load the "Red Droid" Bootscreen onto my phone using MetaMorph. It seems everything works but, when I reboot the phone, all i see is the bootscreen. The phone seems to boot up normal but, never gets past the bootscreen. I hear the SD card formatting and the buttons on the phone light up but, all i see is the "Red Droid" bootscreen. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Hmm, no, not sure.

The bootscreen is the only thing you applied? No other themes of things like lockscreen running?

Anyway, you think you could post a log from when you're phone is booting and gets stuck?
[Android Themes] BookCase:
I'm running MarksTheme v4.2.7.1b with the Advanced Launcher and Lock Screen already implemented. All i applied was the bootscreen. Nothing more. I have since restored with nandroid. Here is the latest Log:

[URL="http://FastFreeFileHosting.com/file/29209/Log-Collector-txt.html"]Log Collector.txt[/URL]
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks for the effort but i'm afraid that i need the log from when it hangs to say anything about why you got stuck at boot.
[Android Themes] wigwag:
k heres the new one w/ aosp1.6 in the rom name

Power_Widget-Dark.zip
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Ah, thanks for that, updated.
[Android Themes] BookCase:
if you tell me how to get the log from that boot, i'll do it again. Otherwise, i don't know because the only way I can get the phone to boot up is by doing a restore.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
The easiest way is through adb.

Open a command prompt and type adb logcat while booting, wait till it gets stuck and copy and paste the output in a text file.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
I've also got permission from freekyfrogy to include the Darkstar theme in the OP.

[URL="http://FastFreeFileHosting.com/file/29236/Red-Droid-log.html"]LOG[/URL]
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks for reporting back, much appreciated.

And wow, there's a lot going wrong looking at your log.

Almost everything related to permissions is going wrong. I'm not sure how the droid bootscreen could cause this because these are only two images that go into framework-res but in your case there seems to be a lot more going wrong.

The first thing you should try is running fix_permissions (or fix uid mismatches i think it's called in Amon_Ra's recovery) and see if that's fixes some of the problems.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Oh, and i see from your screenshots / sig you're also using a theme already.

Maybe try to reflash cyanogen first without wiping, than apply the bootscreen and see if it works.

If that works try applying your theme again and see what happens.
[Android Themes] BookCase:
Hmmm. Okay, thanks. I'll try that and get back to you.

I'll try this, also.

I am trying to morph longhorns theme but MM will not work and says "theme control file is missing" any Ideas?

apllied wonderful ut theme cant read the clock or scrolling messages in status bar anything I can do to change the clock digits? and the colors of words in notifications to white
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
If you go to my post for the theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597391 there is something to flash for the notifications and clock. After you flash, you will need to reapply the framework-res.apk in the MetaMorph file.
[Android Themes] gtrplr71:
do I put the white notifications file in the same android theme file? sorry new to MM I am old school!
[Android Themes] gtrplr71:
got the same theme control message when trying to apply white notifications
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
No, as I said, you have to flash the notifications, it is a regular flash update. But since it rewrites the framework when changing the notifications to white, you will need to reapply the metamorph framework-res.apk. If you need more help than that, ask in the theme's thread so we don't clutter this thread with it.

This was requested. I have not made a Boot Screen yet, so it is the Boot Screen from my Ice Crystals theme

[Android Themes] BookCase:
Okay, so, this is crazy but, I am almost convinced the issue not with the bootscreen but rather with MarksTheme.

1st, I did the 'fix permissions/fix uid' which was a complete failure. Once I rebooted and ran MMorph the phone froze.

[URL="http://FastFreeFileHosting.com/file/29336/Stuck-log.html"]Here's the log[/URL] from that.

So, I reverted back to the default cyanogenMod. Everything worked well with the default CM and the bootscreen update was a success.

[URL="http://FastFreeFileHosting.com/file/29338/1-1-log.html"]LOG[/URL]

So, i decided to re-flash to MarksTheme and that's when the $hit hit the fan. Upon rebooting, the phone stayed on the bootscreen for over 20 mins. so, I did a force reboot. Once it rebooted, I had no service and EVERYTHING force closed. (IM, twitter, Backup, Dialer, Calandar....Everything).

[URL="http://FastFreeFileHosting.com/file/29341/FC-log.html"]LOG[/URL]

I didn't even get to try the bootscreen again. I immediately did a reboot and nandroid restore. I am now back where i started but, I now believe the issue has nothing to do with you, the bootscreen or MM. So...

I dunno.
[Android Themes] Ace42:
How to remove a metamorph theme? Would i just reflash a rom?

Thanks again for reporting back but i'm afraid you have to take this up with Marc who made your theme cause i also think this might not be related to the bootscreen.

[Android Themes] djengizz:

Nice, nice. I did the same thing with the dialer yesterday, works very well.

Thank you.

You might want to check the EclairDialer-VVM though, i don't think this is going to work since the dialer is not in a folder.

I'll test it in a minute but my guess is it won't work.

More than 50 morphs now in the OP, theme template has moved to second post.

Thanks to everybody that has been contributing and keep them coming :).
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Oh and a little heads-up for all the themers creating new Morphs:

Make sure you put a .nomedia file in your morphs. This keeps the mediascanner from scanning the extracted folders in the AndroidThemes folder so the images in there won't show up in the gallery.

I'm seeing more morphs now without it so make sure to include this file so the users of your morph do not have to work with a huge gallery full of theming images.

Yes you read it right, I have created a small font pack for metamorph! Includes 4 fonts for now, however, i will be updating it to include more in the near future ;)

The Fonts are for ANY ROM / VERSION!!

It includes:

Original Fonts (to revert)*

Droid Logo Font

Huxtable Font

Jura Font

Also if anybody wants to contribute to this morph plz feel free to send me any fonts and I will add it to the collection. Each font pack will contain a max of 10 fonts before changing the font pack # (eg. Font pack 1,2,3, etc)

Of course, major thanx to Stericson, Djengizz, Kastro, Riku, and everyone who contributed to MetaMorph and the continued updates!

NOTE* A reboot is NEEDED in order apply the changes.

[Android Themes] roadrunnerx7:
forget it wag, im not sure what happened but i tried it all again and it worked the second time. the first time it was like installing it then everything just froze. still dont know what happened but it works now so thanks!
[Android Themes] djengizz:
What version of MetaMorph are you running ? Make sure you have the latest from the Market cause the zip loop was something that could happen in an older version.

The zip was included because it used to be downloaded by the application which would leave people without an internet connection not able to use MetaMorph. Since zip is now included in the app itself i removed the separate zip download.

Let me know where you get stuck exactly and we try to work this out.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Awesome, those are the kind of mods that really give added value to MetaMorph (and i love the Droid font, i might nick that of you for my theme).

Also smart to include the original font so people can always revert. Thanks a lot and i'm looking forward to more.

A little side-note: They all worked fine for me but i've noticed you've already included some fonts in the theme control file that are not in the morph (maybe for future use?). For now i removed those and re-upped the file.

I hope you don't mind and if you do give me a shout and i remove it again.
[Android Themes] gtrplr71:
everytime i use morph my market crashes after DL I cleared the cache and that worked for a few minutes but then it crashes again no matter what theme I use
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Could you specify what morphs you tried that were causing this?

A lot of these morphs don't even change the market so there might be something else going on.
[Android Themes] gtrplr71:
It started on UT theme and I did a nandroid restore back and then used black Ice with the same result each time I restore the market works fine.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Well both of those change the market so there might be something going on although i've tested both and i didn't have any problems.

Could you maybe supply a log of the market force closing?
[Android Themes] gtrplr71:
I already went back with nanroid I did not think about the log. I will reapply today I need to do some running around is there anyway I can apply only the top status bar from black ice by itself?

i have the most recent version that was updated today. I get the SuperUser Request, it tells me that metamorph wants to run: /system/bin/sh as root:root. i then select the check mark to remember my setting then allow. After that i go back to metamorph and the same thing. "Please Wait setting up file: zip over and over and over. ive even done a hard reset and started all the way over and tried again but still the same results.
[Android Themes] Iridox:
To fix that you need to use a terminal app like Better Terminal and do this:

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cp /sdcard/zip /system/bin

**At this point, flip back to metamorph and let it recheck, then flip back to terminal

cp /sdcard/zipalign /system/bin

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

sync

reboot

There you go :-) Just did it on my Droid a few moments ago.
[Android Themes] dabo318:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

went back and ran metamorph

#cp /sdcard/zipalign /system/bin

cp: not found

# mount -o ro/remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount: Invalid argument

# sync

this is exactly what it gives me

times 2 and 3

$su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#cp /sdcard/zipalign /system/bin

cp: not found

went back and ran metamorph

#cp /sdcard/zipalign /system/bin

cp: not found

# mount -o ro/remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# sync

i guess it was my fault the first time, but the second and third time i did it exactly as mentioned and still the same results......i don't think its meant for me to have a superdroid...........sigh*

Restore Non-Blur/Cyanogen Images

Here is my first morph/theme, but I can say that I have tested it, and it works with no issues on CM4.2.8. Since I am only replacing the anim folder in the framework-res.apk, it should work on many ROMs.

I have always had a true dislike for the blur animations. The pop up menu almost makes me motion sick if I have been drinking, and since I am in grad school, I am required to drink most of the time. I was so happy to flash CM4.2.8 and find these gone, only to find them reappear upon metamorphing a theme. Instead of starting a thread in the dev section in regards to fixing MY ISSUES NOW :), I decided to learn how to fix it myself. This will do nothing more than restore Cyanogens animations after you flash another theme.
