EDIT:

A little more information.

I created a metamorph for the launcher.apk, applied it and rebooted, then none of my widgets loaded up.

Then I made a metamorph for the Contacts.apk. I applied it, and now my contacts and dialer are not installed.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
It looks like you need to free up some space in /system.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
1500kb isn't enough free space? The images I'm using to test are tiny.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
But the apks that need to be pulled apart are probably larger.
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
Gotcha...any suggestions on what I can remove to free up space?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I remove the following:

Calculator (use arity instead)

Email (I only use gmail)

Amazonmp3 (spyware in my opinion)

Music (I use Meridian instead)

Terminal (I use the terminal in SUFBS)

LatinIME (I use better keyboard)

It is also safe to remove (in case you don't use these)

Alarm Clock,

Dev Tools

Spare Parts.

Another way to clear space is to flash the CM ROM again since it overwrites most of /system.

Finally, if the metamorph is just too big, make it a signed zip and flash from recovery, then it will use all of the free space in your cache.

Any Word On The Market 1660 Issue?

Hey Stericson, have you gotten Market 1660 OTA'd to your phone yet? or can you tell me how to pull it from my MT3G ? I want to buy the donate version & start working with these morphs, so anything I can do to help.

~psguardian
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
Is there any way to make the Metamorph app check for free space? If I'm having free space issues, I'm sure plenty others are going through the same thing? It really can screw things up.
[Android Themes] snOwrOse:
omg

omg i totally can't understand it. ><
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Kinda having free space issues as well. After seeing others post upwards of 20000 after typing df in Terminal, I checked mine...... 4000 :( Ended up removing a few apps I never use and was able to get up to about 10000.

I will say Metamorph is a pretty sweet app though! Being able to mix themes up gives my phone just the right look. Thanks Stericson for all your hard work....bought the paid app after trying the free one. :D

Edit: Just noticed I've been a member since Jun. 08 but only have 4 posts....:o Guess I should be a tad more active. :p
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
Nobody seems to have an issue as much with metamorph..but steve doesnt explain this..I have this issue that I open up the program and it scans for some files and then closes out saying "Some files were not found or setup. Please make sure you have enough space in system/and that busy box is installed". But they are installed!! and i have plenty of room on my motorola droid..anyone know why this is happening?
[Android Themes] fldodger:
Yes you may have room on phone. But you need room it system/

type df in terminal and post your finding.
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
ok it says I have 143,744k 115,288k used, 28,456k available (4096 block size) whatever this means I dont really know LOL
[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
It looks like you need a little above 4MB in system. I had a little above 4MB starting from a stock CM 4.2.13. Then I created a Metamorph to change the notification bar and images, flashed it and it worked. My system space dropped down to like 3600KB. I then, created a Metamorph to change some images in the Launcher.apk, flashed it, and didnt work properly. Getting error messages on all my widgets saying, "problem loading widget".

edit: actually it probably depends on the size of the metamorph. But still, 4MB coming from a stock CM rom isnt that much to begin with.
[Android Themes] twigster:
Force close problem

I have tried applying two different themes, Blackpaddy and Dark Dream.

Blackpaddy was first and while it was installing it did show some issues stating it couldn't find certain applications (which were app's I had been running at the time), but still completed the install and asked for a reboot.

The boot screen displayed fine, but when the phone entered the home screen, if I pressed any buttons I just got force closes everywhere. I eventually had to remove the battery to shut it down and then I just reflashed the rom in recovery.

I then tried again with Dark Dream thinking maybe the rom version was the problem. This installed with no issues, but upon reboot, the exact same problem.

My metamorph version is the latest version off the market a day ago. And all I do is enter Metamorph, choose a zip file using AndExplorer, and it unzips.

Don't have a clue how to get it to work or if my SPL might be the problem.
[Android Themes] fldodger:
Every time you use Metaphorh you have to reinstall widgets.
[Android Themes] 98classic:
i am running aosp 1.6 on a cdma hero, installed busybox and it is in /system/bin phone is rooted....

when i try to run metamorph (from market) it says it cant extract zip file and to make sure i have enough space in /system and to see if busybox is installed..

/system: 174080K total, 73316K used, 100764K available (block size 4096)

any ideas?
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
im in the same situation as you are and no one seems to have a brilliant answer..nice going stericson
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Did you symlink the commands in busybox to their linux mappings?
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
And what exactly is that supposed to mean I am some what new to all of this?
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
By the way is there an iphone or a palm pre theme for android..i have the motorola droid..?
[Android Themes] niko1986:
Hello i'm really interested in trying Metamorph but i have a handset with 1.5 cupcake with no update from the manufacturer anytime soon. There doesn't seem to be much in the way for morphs for 1.5?

Does anyone have any links or advice on how to use this on 1.5 or is it not really possible?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
What it means is you are a rude prick, and I will not help the likes of you. Your comments in regard to stericson were uncalled-for, and you being uneducated is no excuse to come on here and be rude. I suggest you buy an iphone and be happy with those morons.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
All you have to do is reload the widgets, not a big deal...
[Android Themes] jroid:
Stericson I LOVE metamorph. This is going to revolutionize android.. I know your priorities are to stabilize the app and what not, but for the future i'd like to suggest that metamorph be able to make a back-up morph to the sd of whatever you're attempting to change before the change occurs.. This would be very convenient and would maximize efficiency and speed in creating themes. Good work dude this is awesome.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
This actually will be done, it is already planned. However it will be ater the official release and after the source code is released.

So, keep an eye on us for this feature to present itself.

Stericson
[Android Themes] jroid:
ahhh ok :) great.
[Android Themes] sassyness77:
help?

Okay I have metamorph installed, andinstaller installed. A folder on my sd called androidthemes with all the morphs in it plus the aosp1.6theme template I got from the other post about metamorph, as well as the contents of androidthemes also on the root of my sd but wwhen I start metamorph, it askes no zip should I dl it? I pick yes and then I get a fc? Any advice?
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Send me your DDMS log when it FC. Also what version of MetaMorph are you using? this was an issue in a previous release.

Make sure your using V0.7.

Stericson
[Android Themes] djmace:
Will this work on a HTc Hero?
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Yes it will work on a rooted htc hero.
[Android Themes] Ace42:
So rename zip to thm?
[Android Themes] djmace:
Brilliant news thanx.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
No the theme file(.thm) is inside of the theme, (.zip)

Make sure you have V0.7 installed.

You Developer's just keep amazing me with the kick a$$ stuff you are able to do with these phones. Awesome app man, just got into "attempting to brick my phone every chance i get:cool:" but the apps and info here just wont let me do it!:cool:

Great work again everyone involved with making this app!
[Android Themes] jroid:
weirdest thing happening, I updated to the latest aosp18 from eugene and installed metamorph 0.7, and explorer, everything is fine. However, i tried to flash some morphs that i made (which worked on aosp15 ) and the apps flashes it fine but no changes are made?? i know for a fact these morphs work as they've worked on my previous build no problem. tried rebooting, still no changes.. i've also tried uninstalling and re-installing the .apk; but to no avail
[Android Themes] Stericson:
send me your ddms log (logcat), and the themes your working with.

[Android Themes] Ace42:
can you post in red that this isnt compat with thmes for cyanogen roms?

I get Fcs all over teh place when using droid boot+hero theme for cyanogen.
[Android Themes] spigatelli:
I flashed Black Ice with it today. No force closes, no issues at all. It worked great. I wish more Devs would make their themes compatible with this app.

Oh and I am running CM 4.2.6 Again no issues at all.
[Android Themes] jroid:
sorry, nandroided back already
[Android Themes] Stericson:
I also use a much older cyanogen (4.1.999) and it works fine for me.

Please make sure what your using is compatible for the rom your using and please report all issues.

i just have black bar so i have to change the font color...

thanks in advance
[Android Themes] 98classic:
Yes, i read all the pages on this thread and it had been addressed once ran those comands on the terminal and still same results. Quite possibly that i didnt install busybox right though, let me check that further.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Well, I've managed to resolve my /system space issue.

Previous space ~ 4000k

Current space ~ 25000k :D

Thanks to Haykuro's SPL. Yes, I'm aware that the SPL isn't required for CM roms, but that extra space was just way too tempting. ;) "Mega-Metamorphing" here I come. :cool:
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
Well first of all, as far as me being a prick is concerned..if you gave explained and well thought out answers i wouldnt be frustrated..Stericson didnt stipulate the bugs in the metamorph program which is another reason I am aggravated...And steve doesnt answer emails or PM's..so thats why i am aggravated as well..and you dont know me...Im a junior in college...being rude is cursing at everyone and flipping out...Reason why im frustrated is because no one knows how to answer a question correctly..obviously im new...Maybe if i got an answer that made sense, I wouldnt have to be rude..Your a senior member I just signed up two days ago with some experience not as much as you..so lighten up..
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Okay. I can respect your response, and I hear that you are frustrated. I just see so many people blaming the devs for their issues that it really gets to me. Furthermore, had you told me that you did not understand my response, I would have gone further into it for you. Be patient, and have respect, and people will help you with anything on here.

As far as Stericson is concerned, he made an great app, and the "bugs" are not in e itself. Busybox needs to be installed correctly, which is often an issue of the ROM itself, bad symlinks, etc (there are instructions in this thread). The other main issue is space, which again is a fault of the hardware, or the ROM. These are not apps made for everyone, and come with complications, and risks. They are to be used with the understanding that we are all on hacked software, and sometimes difficulties do arise.

I have never had Steve (I assume you are talking about Cyanogen) answer any of my PMs either, but I have learned to live with the fact that my questions just do not interest him. Plenty of others are here to help though, and with a little patience it will happen.

Okay, so as far as your problem is concerned, tell me what you have done so far.
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
Thanks dude, no harm no foul..now as far as my issue...i try to open up metamorph and it says busy box needs to be installed and all that annoyed crap..but i do have it installed because i used the droid rooting tools and followed the steps and metamorph is still not working the way its supposed to..i checked my system space and i posted it on the previous space..I am a bit confused on why it isnt working after following the right steps..ya know
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
these are my results..

ok it says I have 143,744k 115,288k used, 28,456k available (4096 block size) whatever this means I dont really know LOL
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Well space definitely isn't the issue for you. 28,456k available is more than enough for Metamorph to work.
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
Yeah thats I mean, I cant understand what else it could be?..I tried removing some apps and that didnt do the trick..
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
So it says Busybox needs to be installed...even though you already have it installed.....

Just throwing this out there, trying to help.

Click for "possible" help. :)

[Android Themes] 98classic:

[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Do you have root access (i.e. administrator for Windows users) on your phone? What is happening is you enter su to be root as a substitute user, and permission is denied. This implies either you did not root your phone, or there was an issue with the rooting process.

Assuming you did root your phone, do you have an app in the drawer called superuser whitelist?

You have plenty of room and if busybox commands work, it must be installed. Perhaps on hero ROMs busybox is installed in a different path then metamorph expects?

Do me a favor, run a logcat as metamorph tries to work, and post the results.

To do this, you will need adb installed. With the phone attached via adb, in the computer terminal, enter adb logcat.

Can anyone tell me how to remove system apps through ADB or terminal? THe only way I know to remove them is to remove them from Cyanogens zip, then flash.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Method One (easiest) Using SUFBS browser to /system/app/. Select the button in the upper left corner to mount system as rw. Long press to delete apps.

Method Two (easier) Using adb in your computer terminal,

adb remount
adb rm /system/app/<name of app>

Method Three (easy) In the phone terminal enter

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

rm /system/app/<name of app>
[Android Themes] 808xplode:
method 4

to remove the amazon mp3 app

you would boot into recovery then go to the console and type this

mount system
mount sdcard
rm system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk

so just replace the com.amazon.mp3.apk part of the code with the .apk that you want to remove

every time you flash a new rom you will have to do this

hope this helps you...
[Android Themes] andyp123:
using metamorph how do u return to the original theme?
[Android Themes] jdmoore81:
when i run metamorph i get stuck at please wait intializing screen am i doing something wrong
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
You need to use the base ROM theme template. Look in the OP of the particular ROM you run, there is usually a theme template to download.

I am thinking that it is waiting for permission to be substitute user.

First of all, I apologize for the "stupid" question, but I am surprised by how often it needs to be asked, do you have root?

Assuming the answer to the above is yes, go to settings, manage applications, development, and make sure USB debugging is turned on.
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
ok ill ask this again....i rooted my phone and i have the superuser tools on my phone along with metamorph..i dont know where i went wrong i even re-rooted my phone so does anyone have a clue why metamorph is not working?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
So what happens now when you enter

su

into the phone terminal?
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
it comes up saying..uid 10047 not allowed to SU...i rooted my phone idk y this is happening...the root was successful as well..and i dont get this..its pissing me off lol
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Unless SU whitelist comes up asking for permission, you do not have root access. I understand this is frustrating, and not at all what you want to hear, but it is the problem. I wish I could help you here, but something is going wrong in your rooting process. If you are using someone elses 1-click root script (or something similar), I suggest using a different method.
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
what you mean one click rooting?..wat r other ways to root your phone...do tell please?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I assume most rooting methods these days involve downloading someone's zip, copying some files, then running a premade script? Am I wrong in this assumption?

When I root a G1, I go through the process myself (i.e via adb or the phones terminal I enter all Linux commands needed), and thus know exactly what is happening, and can pinpoint errors.

I suggest going to whatever droid forum you prefer, and searching for alternative rooting methods. Also, go to the thread where you found the instructions, and ask if anyone else has had this issue. Chances are, you are not alone, and there may be an easy fix.
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
and i tried download that app superuser whitelist and its defective..it doesnt install...so idk why that happens..
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Because it needs to install into the system folder, and you need root for this. It is usually included in rooted ROMs.

Question: After you rooted you phone, what ROM did you install? Can you post a link to the process you used, and the ROM you flashed?
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
I didnt even know i had to install a rom..where do i find them then?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Can you show me a link to the root method you used?
[Android Themes] jmaio1:
yes here it is...

http://theunlockr.com/2009/12/09/how-to-root-the-motorola-droid-adb-root/
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
It appears there are no custom ROMs yet, so you have not missed anything there.

Do this

1. Download metamorph from the market;

2. Download andexplorer from market;

3. Via adb enter the following

adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/cp
reboot

Let me know what happens.
