Ah, sorry, I miss-read. Looks like I'll have to get it ported then. Might be able to squeeze it out tonight, I've got a bit of downtime right now.
[Android Themes] techbeck:
Yea, thats what I meant. The 4.2.8 morph does not work on the 4.2.9 CM update.

No hurry as I am using the flash version now. It will get me by for a little :)
[Android Themes] garz:
AWWWWW SHIEEEETTT! word! I'm excited to read that! :eek::D

There's really no need to port anything to specific roms. Just aslong as the metamorph updates are up-to-date with current version. All shall be well. Then again dwang is a different base.
[Android Themes] garz:
hahahah. unlike you, i'm on wg's build so i'm feenin for this update. i heard the speed on build 10 is insanity. and i'm still stuck on 8.5. so you can only imagine my anticipation to upgrade and still be able to use this theme.
[Android Themes] theslam08:
AMAZING theme :). Very nice work man, I like how you actually changed some more parts like the MP, and I like a lot of the ideas. Keep up the great work :).
[Android Themes] swivel:
Just flashed this theme over WG's Build 10 and it works perfectly! I guess there's no need to port. Sweet!
[Android Themes] garz:
huh? clean install of wg's 10? did you flash the update or the meta morph? and which version of wg's 10 did you use?
[Android Themes] techbeck:
If I go from CM to WG, will my settings be wiped and do I have to reinstall everything?

and which one of these should i DL?

WG-Build 10 - CFS with RAM Hack

WG-Build 10 - CFS without RAM Hack

WG-Build 10 - BFS with RAM Hack
[Android Themes] garz:
this is gettin really off topic, but for the sake of being informative... i'd go with cfs with ram hack for stability. and no, you dont have to wipe. just update over cm's.
[Android Themes] bahnburner:
With the metamorphs, there may be need for rom specific ports, only due to the black menu bar. Other than that, everything will transfer over. All I really have to do is transfer over a couple classes.dex, and I'm good.
[Android Themes] techbeck:
Cool, thanks. I dug around and found the thread about WG...:)
[Android Themes] bahnburner:
Alright everyone, the wait is over. No promises that this will work on any rom other than CM4.2.9.1.

Darkstar v0.6.1 Metamorph for CM4.2.9.1 - Download

Ported to CM4.2.9.1. No other changes.
[Android Themes] swivel:
Flashed the update.zip over WG 10 CFS w/RAM hack. Not using Metamorph.
[Android Themes] garz:
I back this up. Also flashed this theme over wg's build 10 bfs. Worked like a charm. thanks swivel.
[Android Themes] garz:
Awesome. I always love having these as a backup. Quick question... which metamorph file in this theme will flash over this hideous bootscreen that the original theme has...
[Android Themes] techbeck:
Sweet, thanks man...
[Android Themes] bahnburner:
The framework-res payload will do it. You could also use the bootscreen morph.
[Android Themes] techbeck:
Didnt the last metamorph have the advanced launcher? How do I get that back?

Thanks
[Android Themes] david1171:
metamorph replace images in the .apk you already have on your phone. if you don't have the advanced launcher, then metamorph will not give you the advanced launcher. if you have the advanced launcher, then metamorph will not change it to the stock launcher.

@bahnburner:

thanks for all your work again mate.

when i said i need someone to maintain the builds, i was just saying that im willing to do the port initial, but i need someone to keep it up to date etc.

as there doesnt seem to be a need for a wg build i will just be making a dwang one.

please let me know if anyone out there is willing keep it updated.

[Android Themes] DroBoyFresh:
Been thinking of making changes to this theme for my own use. Such as removing the curves at the edges of the screen (since it cant be consistently done throughout the whole OS), changing the colored accents (highlight, glow effect, etc) from green to cyan ,and also changing the battery from white to cyan to add a bit of color to the taskbar. Also thinking of changing up the pulldown bar (not sure how though). Also the popup menus are entirely to bulky compared to how slick the rest of the theme is. From the research I have done it seems changing from green to cyan would be the most tedious of the tasks. But overall Im just not sure how to start on this task. More research is needed.

Edit: Oooohh, also I wanna the black wood wallpaper as a background for the apps. I think that would look cool. :)
[Android Themes] swivel:
What is up with the boot screen? Sorry to say, and I mean no offense to the creator, but it's really bad. Ringer Nation? WTF is that, and what does it have to do with this theme or Android? The boot screen contained in the Metamorph version is very nice and makes more sense. Ultimately, it's just a boot screen though, and it's only up for a few seconds. I rarely have to reboot anyway.
[Android Themes] garz:
ringer nation = sponer site of one of the theme creators. some bs about his contract with them...*shrugs*
[Android Themes] mackster248:
Has anyone tried this for WG's ROM's?
[Android Themes] digitallysick:
My first time trying this theme, its great! Much better with the alternate bootscreen!.

My only issue is the font, its a little small and hard to see, wish it was slightly bigger Or a different font
[Android Themes] QDT:
Sure thing. Every time Wes is issuing new revision I can not live without applying Darkstar theme on it.

Not much to do extra to make it work. Most of the time wiping Dalvik's cache is enough. If you get boot loop or very long time boots - wipe the system settings (not the SD apps!!) and you will have system working nice and smooth.
[Android Themes] garz:
Can anyone confirm that the lockscreen works on WG's rom?
[Android Themes] mackster248:
Ohh, alright. Thanks man!
[Android Themes] tnt8902:
Best Theme known to man!!!

This is the best theme that I have used!!! Its sleek and appealing.

I only have one problem. I'm having a few fcs for acore after I use the home button and at one point I had a fc and lost my signals for calls and net. I'm using cm 4.2.8 and darkstart 4.2.8 metamorph. Ne answers?
[Android Themes] zayg1:
I sen't you a PM about me making a boot screen for you. Here's a prreview if he decides to use it or not is up to him.
[Android Themes] Magnious:
I'm new here, and just had a question. Is there any way that you can make the "Text" on the white bar for the Darkstar White (skin for Weather Widgets Donate), Black in stead of white? The white lettering on the white background is really hard to see on my Droid.

Thank you, I <3 Sking BTW..just wondering if that could be changed.
[Android Themes] S0K:
Works perfectly with WG's rom, had no problems installing it and it looks wonderful :)

Not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a chance that later versions of this theme will make the rounded edges actually corner edges? I fell like it'd give more of a crisper theme.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
we already have a boot screen, but if you want to make another one thats fine.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Sorry to double post, but i thought this deserved a whone post of its own lol.

Darkstar 0.6.1 for Dwang 1.14

here it is:

http://android.piratemedia.tv/darkstar/builds/dwang/Darkstar%20v0.6.1.zip

its just the base package, (has the alternate boot screen already) but you can use the AL optional update for CM works fine. and i might do a stericsons lockscreen for this if its wanted.

but im still looking for someone to maintain the dwang port, as i dont have time to update both builds, im willing to teach someone who to do it.

[Android Themes] fridlack:
Anyone tryed this one in dwang 1.15?
[Android Themes] Mikey:
should work, since themes from 1.14 work on 1.15
[Android Themes] garz:
so I know you guys made a separate advanded launcher update due to popular requests. so I'm more then thankful/grateful.

but, i do have a request that i'd like in relations to that... could you guys make one of for the replacement advanced launcher 2.1 version as well.:o

I wanna change the icons on my home screen but bettercut isn't allowing me to do so in the current version you guys produced. It only allows me to change the icons of the original home screen which is useless for me. The personalization of my phone is 97% complete. due to this...:(
[Android Themes] csczero:
Advance launcher keeps FC on me.. not sure why tho.
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Any idea why i get some of the app names with [[]]]]] after them??

Ever since i applied this theme for DWang rom.
[Android Themes] garz:
wow...thats odd. must be something to do with the font. try changing the font using the metamorph. see if that fixes it.
[Android Themes] Mikey:
That fixed the problem....too bad i couldn't use the themes font. I loved it :)

Thanks
[Android Themes] garz:
you can still use the font. download the most recent metamorph theme update file and then install fonts.cpy file only. it should work like a charm.
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Nope the same....

Dragged the files out of Darkstarv0.6.1 *OP of this thread*...placed them into the metamorph folder fonts found in the post your morphs here thread, Morphs by bahnburner:

Tried it that way.

I am still learning how too use Metamorph.

Maybe thats the not the right way of doing it.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
yeah ok mate, ill do one when i get some time.

cache
[Android Themes] bahnburner:
You can always install it yourself, and then run the Advanced Launcher package, it will look for any file in /System/App/ named AdvancedLauncher.apk regardless of what version it is.

The problem with the font is happening because it only contains characters for A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and the most common symbols, if you're trying to display strange symbols, or non-latin characters, such as asian, arabic, or russian alphabet, the font doesn't contain that so it places an empty placeholder there.
[Android Themes] Mikey:
That bites =(

Thanks for this info =)
[Android Themes] DameonAndMeagan:
I have been trying to edit some .9.png files but had no luck. So instead of myself doing it. I would like to make a suggestion. Could you please put a white glow behind the search widget since most dark wallpapers you can't even see it, would be greatly appreciated. Also if someone can point me to the right place where I can learn how to edit .9.png files.. Thanks
[Android Themes] garz:
damn, you kinda lost me there...

can you detail that a bit better, maybe with steps. i am figuring you install the adv launcher replacement. then flash over that theme?
[Android Themes] Mikey:
Check this link out.
[Android Themes] digitallysick:
Can you change the font? The font that Enoch uses in this theme is very nice
[Android Themes] garz:

[Android Themes] opasha:
http://www.4shared.com/file/177785526/cbc90dd3/enoch_font.html

that's the enoch font zip file i created. just flash the .zip file like you would a theme right over your current theme and reboot. enjoy :)

Your sir are both a gentleman and a scholar
[Android Themes] opasha:
haha thank you, but how does this make me a scholar? :)
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
yeah that sounds fair, we try to make everything work on both light and dark wallpapers, so we will try and sort this for the next release.

as for the font problem on the dwang port, sorry about that, didnt see it myself when i was testing the theme (didnt spend all that much time testing, time is tight at the mo) but as others have sugested, grabbing another font and flashing it over the top tends to work well.

[Android Themes] lukekirstein:
Not sure if this has already been posted, so sorry if it has.

I wanted the alt-boot screen with Stericson. So I flashed Cyan->Stericson->Darkstar Stericson->Darkstar Boot Stericson (some other combos I tried black screened upon boot)

Noticed the Darkstar Boot Stericson file missed some changes in framework-res (like in the dialer, a couple apps, launcher). Since I'm assuming all that's in the D.B.S file is Stericson's lockscreen and the alternate boot (in framework-res), it needs to include all the other changes. Basically make it a full update.

Remember, when you change framework-res, it changes everything in framework-res :)

i am unaware of this problem, i have had darkstar, stericsons lockcreen and the alternate boot screen installed since before i released version 0.6.1, and have had no issues with it what so ever. sorry to hear you have had problems, in you op you say us installed cyan - stericson - darkstar stericson - darkstar boot stericson. however you didnt say you installed the main darkstar package. is this a typo or reality? if so please try installing the main darkstar package before and of the optional updates. also you should not need to install stericson stand alone, i know i havnt, and my phone is fully functional and stable.

hope this helps, and i havnt misunderstood anything you have said.

thanks for the feedback as always.

I have been told that it currently works on the WG build, i havnt used WGs build myself, but im sure someone who uses it could try and give you a hand.
[Android Themes] eskimoroll:
Works fine for me with WG. My setup is a MT3G with Amon Ra's latest recovery and stock SPL (you may or may not need Danger SPL for WG's latest since you're coming from a G1). The steps I used was to apply cyanagenmod 4.2.9.1 (after a clean wipe of course and after applying HTC recovery), rebooted, then I applied the fixme script that WG put together to deal with the G-apps force close issue, rebooted, applied WG 10.2 (CFS w/RAM hack), rebooted, applied Darkstar (the zip, not the Metamorph), and I was good to go. Everything is working great, it's fast as heck, and it's beautiful thanks to the Darkstar theme.
[Android Themes] Naatan:
Hi,Your theme looks awesome! I just have a question .. I'm using the latest cyanogenmod with the kernel patch for 32a.. can you please tell me how I can apply this theme? Thanks! :)

Thx for the answer, I'm going to try the zip file and not the metamorph....
[Android Themes] Shady Gambino:
This is probably my favorite theme, I really like the continued development. Great work.

There's a few issues I have, thought I'd throw my $0.02 in:

1.) I like the old Power widget way better. Hate the little On/Off text; poor readability, adds clutter. I loved how with the old widget, the green glow would indicate on, soft white off. It fit the simplicity and motif of the theme better, you didn't need status text. I would suggest replacing the current widget with the old one.

2.) I miss the themed stericson lock screen. It fit the theme so much better. I know you can replace it, i just don't understand why the themed version doesn't come with the theme (I'm using enomther's theOfficial, when I try to replace it with the optional themed version it hangs at boot, so probably not your fault).

3.)The clock is unreadable with dark backgrounds. (I don't care, just thought you should know.)

I think I had a couple more critiques, but I forgot. I don't mind the curved edges at all; at first I wasn't sure, but now I think they make this theme unique.

Anyway, thanks for all the work you put into this theme!
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
@Shady Gambino

thanks for your feed back,

with the power widget, its hard to please everyone, some people didnt like the green, me included.

but i get what you mean, we will continue to try and perfect the power widget.

hopefully we will end up with something everyones happy with.

as far as the stericsons lockscreen goes, all i can sugest is that you flash to stock CM then install the latest darkstar, and then the lockscreen.

if you have already done that, try a fix_permissions, and if all that fails, try to wipe your cache, just cache not data or apps.

with the clock, i know what you mean, to be honest, i did it pretty quick, and will continue to try and make it better in future builds.

hope that helps

and the optional bootscreen is really cool.

Darkstar Update news:

So i have been recompiling some of the framework code, along with some other code from another project.

however what i have got is some new window transitions, custom made by me specially for this theme, and an update to the progress bar i.e. in volume. to make it much more rounded and with a proper gradient, so it looks just like the one in the concept.

got a few tweaks to make, and if i can get it done quick enough, i want to add a couple other new tweaks etc before the next release.

As far as the dwang rom, as its only a .1 release, id imagine that it would work fine, looking at the change log, there doesn't seem to be much that would cause problems.

For the ASOP port sorry but I have no information on that one.

[Android Themes] neatchee:
Hey Cache. The reason .10.1 isn't showing up in the CM-Updater is that there is an error in the program so that the numbering scheme goes 4.2.1xx, 4.2.2xx, 4.2.3xx, etc. What this means is that the cm-updater app thinks that 4.2.10.1 is a LOWER version number than 4.2.2.1 (for example). As I understand it, they are working on releasing a fix.

In the meantime, in order to get 4.2.10.1 to show up in the cm-updater, you need to enable "show all updates" in the preferences.

As others have said, thank you SO much for your contributions. I love this theme very very very much :D Have a happy holidays!
