I think the original posted/creator of this thread may have permanently left us :(

I had spoken with the OP a while back ago and he was in the hospital for something very serious. Now I haven't spoken with them in a very long while.

If anyone has communication with the OP please let me know.

I fear the worst has happened to a great Android contributor.
[Android Themes] typeadam:
New to MetaMorph so forgive me if this question doesn't make sense. I'm running DamageControl Sense 2.1 ROM on my Sprint Hero. So I'm looking for a MetaMorph theme, I guess, that's basically the STOCK Android look. WHITE Notification Bar, BLACK text on it, BLACK icons (2.1 icons) on it. I do NOT need the bottom bar themed since I use Home++ but I HATE the HTC black top.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the framework-res.apk file need to be installed separately?

I was trying to install the gChrome morph listed on the first page but everything FC and nothing loads after I reboot the phone.

Thanks.

[Android Themes] zimphishmonger:
no real guide besides stericsons videos. My advice: download some metamorph themes and examine the structure, or 'unzip' the framework-res.apk and see if you can understand the structure of apk files. U will get the hang of it, and realize the potential this app has.

Most innovative app for andorid imo :cool:

Anyone with issues getting text color to change in the notification bar needs to read the posts with full guides here and my theme thread here on post #3.

And for Legend, I have a theme I'll post later. It's got a lot of Espresso and various custom images I worked on yesterday.

Ive watched some videos, it's all about unzipping, edit images, rezipping, and morphing?
[Android Themes] naviathan:
I'm new to theming and I'm very confused with this metamorph app. I've followed all the instructions, downloaded all the apps it says are necessary, but I can't get any themes installed. I don't get any errors, metamorph acts as though they've installed, but after it restarts I get nothing. I've been specifically trying to install the Black-Ice theme. I'm using a Moto Droid with Pete's ESE81 load. It's a basic load taken from the OTA and rooted, but that's about it. Will this just not work with metamorph?
[Android Themes] :

I finally finished my Metamorph theme, for now. I tried to run this one pretty deep through the ROM. I never liked the round corners on the stock ROM. It works on Fresh ROM 2.0d. If you find anything that should have been skinned, send me a message.

Skinned apk's are below:

Browser.apk

Calendar.apk

com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk

HTC_IME.apk

HtcAddProgramWidget.apk

The color icons aren't in the zip file. They are available in Fresh ROM 2.0d.

I am new at this and I have seen it many time but haven't figured it out.

I will search the forums but I am also looking for the original 2.0 stuff, like launcher bar and orange highlights, and white notification bar, or is it easier re-flashing it?

Not working

So I am having a rather difficult time finding themes that have xml files and I have the opac bar morph, but after 10 minutes or more of it saying applying, my guess is that it's not working, I am trying android_bluz and it went through everything, but once it gets to framework-res.apk, it stops, same thing at opac, sits on it for over 10 minutes till i just quit, running supercsdiv4 with class 2 sdcard.
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
The new version of Metamorph supports .xml files. I think you would encounter such a file after unzipping? ;)
[Android Themes] firststepstorecovery:
i wish that was the case... unfortunately im not getting either file...
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
Okay, in that case, you're sure it is indeed a MetaMorph file and not a file to be flashed in Recovery? Every Morph should have either a thm or an xml file included.

When both these are missing it usually means it's a Recovery-flashable theme... ;)
[Android Themes] infamous1985:

[Android Themes] acidwashg1:
so heres my story: upgraded to cyanogen 4.2.6, installed metamorph v0.7 and applied the transparency pack. no problems! upgraded metamorph to v0.8 and applied the blackbar mod by AndroidFiend. everything is working flawlessly and stable from what I can tell. this combination looks drop dead sexy too!

so in summary, big ups to Stericson for metamorph and your lockscreen. you're definitely on your way to accomplish all your goals for metamorph, it already seems really mature and I've definitely never felt more in control of what I see on my phone. and thanks to djengizz and AndroidFiend for your morphs and hard work. I'm gonna start reading up on how to make morphs so I can release a few of my own beauties.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks a lot, i've added it to the OP. Nice to see more full themes being added.

I've also added the gChrome theme and the Black Bar Mod by AndroidFiend.

As Stericson said there's still an issue with unzipping the large morphs (for now these are the full gChrome theme, the AOSP 1.6 template and SystemForce 3). If you run into this problem (MetaMorph is stuck at unzipping and doesn't seem to finish) there is a workaround:

-Manually unzip the Morph you've downloaded (you can do this using AndExplorer)

-Open MetaMorph and pick 'Existing theme'

-Browse to the folder you've unzipped and select the .thm file in it (the .thm file has the same name as the downloaded morph).

-Now MetaMorph should show you the list of subthemes and you can go ahead and apply the subthemes of your choice or choose apply all.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks for your feedback and i'm glad you like it.
[Android Themes] jerzy448:
yea im running metamorph 0.8. dont know what the problem is everything else works with no problems. but great job on this i dont use themes no more just morph what i want
[Android Themes] jroid:
hmm dunno whats the problem, works on my end. try this, unzip the morph and place the folder in androidthemes. then click "existing themes" and press the .thm of the eclair-settings, flash, then report back the results
[Android Themes] jroid:
also I was having issue with my morphs when i upgraded eugenes rom from aosp15 to aosp18-19. they just weren't applying. i flashed over to x3 1.0 and they worked. if the above still doesn't work try this to see if it works. if it does i may have to change the .thm to be x3 rom specific until eugene changes his builds (who knows what it is)
[Android Themes] MetalMessiah78:
First of all, I want to thank djengizz for helping me out and allowing me to ask him all sorts of questions. He could have told me to "F" off and stop bothering him, but he was super helpful. Did a couple of mods to his Launcher theme, namely the background in the App Tray. I've always hated that carbon fiber look, and I really liked the Droid backgrounds, but not enough to keep as an actual background on the Home screen. Changed the App Tray background to the Droid Background.

They are very subtle. Blink and you'll miss them, but hope you like them. If you don't, don't flash them. Included Metamorphs for both Advanced Launcher and regular Launcher. If you installed Advanced Launcher as a Launcher replacement, you want the one that just says Launcher. Made a Light and Dark one respectively, depending on how sassy you are feeling.

​

Thanks to AndroidFiend for pointing out a problem in Landscape mode and djengizz for telling me how to fix it.

Landscape bug is fixed now! Original post has also been updated.
[Android Themes] jroid:
looks good man
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Cool, nice to see an idea turning into a concept picture and finally turning into a working morph.

Thanks for your addition, they're in the OP.
[Android Themes] MetalMessiah78:
Tried flashing this right now on the Cyanogen 4.2.6, and my phone went through all the motions, but never finished booting into the homescreen. Is it compatible with Stericson's Lockscreen? Other then that, I really wished that worked.

Thanks. Couldn't of had done it without djengizz help.

Thanks again for everything. I really appreciate it.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
No, i don't think that's going to work with the lockscreen. I'll add a warning to the OP.
[Android Themes] detox702:
Any chance that this will at some point be compatible with the lockscreen? I really do enjoy that screen.
[Android Themes] AndroidFiend:
ehh if your talking about black bar mod then idk about the lockscreen...i'll think about it :D
[Android Themes] AndroidFiend:
very nice i was wondering if in landscape mode will the image be different?
[Android Themes] MetalMessiah78:
Thanks. I never use auto rotation, so I tested it out right now and noticed that the background does get jacked up a bit. I'll see if I can fix it.
[Android Themes] AndroidFiend:
no problem atleast you know so probs now :o
[Android Themes] detox702:
That is what I was referring too.

On a similar note, would anyone know what steps would need to be taken to port a launcher.apk and power control widget skin from other themes to work with morph?

Not sure if this is the right place for requests, but with the black bar and black power widget on 4.2.7.1, only thing missing is a search bar to match. If this is the wrong place, point me there. Thanks
[Android Themes] dcplaya:
Everytime I try and use this, i reboot and then it gets to the "android" screen and then the screen just turns black, a simple re-flash of the ROM fixes it. I dont know if it has something to do with the Android 2.0 Stock Theme (full theme, no apps included) (screens) i installed as well but I dont think it does because I tried running the black bar in metamorph first and it still gave me the black screen before the android desktop
[Android Themes] biAji:
I download MetaMorph from Market and install AndExplorer...

While I applied the Eclair-Lockscreen by djengizz, I read the following in logcat:

And after reboot, nothing changed..@@ What should I do next?
[Android Themes] Stericson:
They need to be more specific on these lockscreens, but they require you to be using the lockscreen I developed, if you are not then you wont see a change.

The log you showed shows that the app worked fine, so I assume you dont have my lockscreen?

Stericson
[Android Themes] AndroidFiend:
what version of CM are you on?

dJengizz tested himself and he had no problems.

make sure you are on 4.2.7.1
[Android Themes] xallyx:
black status bar

This Morph app is amazing. I used the black status bar by dwang, worked perfect, only thing is the time is black also...I may have rushed to check it out=/ then I saw one for cyanogen but says I'm missing a file when I try to install it?

Do I have to do a wipe before installing each time? I've went thru the treads to be sure to not post something already here lol, and I've seen something about how to change the color to white, but its like ping pong on my g1 browser=/ is there a way to fix this?

And is it possible to make a font changing morph?
[Android Themes] AndroidFiend:
most likely you didn't apply the jar files
[Android Themes] biAji:
Thanks for your quick answer.. But I do have your lockscreen installed which download from here.

:confused: So, I really don't know what happened
[Android Themes] biAji:
You must have lockscreen installed. And I found they did not work well together.

You have to choose one of them. LockScreen || blackbar
[Android Themes] dcplaya:
I am running 4.2.7.1. Everything else worked except that

I am running Stericson's lockscreen and theming it works fine
[Android Themes] Stericson:
I'm not sure either, that log you showed me shows that a change was made to framework, because it was checked out by the system again. Now what exactly was changed I cannot be sure, but in this situation I would have to look at the theme you applied and verified that it is placing the correct files in the correct locations.

Did you reboot after the changes?

Stericson
[Android Themes] bloopblah:
i'm having the same problem also.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Can yall clarify what the exact problem is? are yall mixing two themes and getting a problem?
[Android Themes] biAji:
Yes , I rebooted after patch the apk as requested. And then find nothing different. It's weird. :cool: I count on you!
[Android Themes] bloopblah:
first i installed android 2.0 stock theme. then i installed the black bar. this is where i get the black screen. i don't know what the problem is.

i'd get the same result from just installing the black bar without installing android 2.0 stock theme.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
ok, then there sounds to be an issue with the black bar theme.

Ah, I see it says that that theme wont work with my lockscreen, thats because its editing a jar file, which makes it specific to a specific version.

Stericson
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks i changed it.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
And for the Black Bar mod / Lockscreen issues:

As Stericson says these are not compatible with each other:

If you have the Lockscreen installed you shouldn't install the black bar mod, that will break things.

The issue with the lockscreen not theming i have heard before but untill now i wasn't able to reproduce (it themes my lockscreen fine). Of course you need the lockscreen installed before you can theme it but i have reports of people theming it the way it's supposed to be done but still not applying. I need to look into this some more. I did however had a report that reinstalling the latest MetaMorph fixed it so you might want to try that if you run into this issue.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Can you please pull framework-res.apk from your phone and link it for me so I can review it and maybe find out whats going on?

Also if you could upload the exact theme you used as well I would appreciate it.

Stericson
[Android Themes] xallyx:
Ohh k i only installed what Ive seen in the first post for themes...
[Android Themes] Eduardo911:
I'm having what sounds like the same issue he's describing, posted it in the android 2.0 theme thread but saw this here just now. metamorph (latest version from market) installs the entire theme fine, no problems. this is on clean 4.2.7.1.

then i install the new 4.2.7.1 version of your lockscreen from a page or two ago, and that works in its default black box design.

now when i try to metamorph the lockscreen, using either the eclair-lockscreen or the eclair-alt-lockscreen from the first post in this thread, it acts like it works, tells me to reboot, etc, but no changes are made.

per your request here is my apk: http://miscetc.net/framework-res.apk

hope that helps
[Android Themes] djengizz:
And if you re-apply the framework-res subtheme from the full 2.0 stock theme, does that work?
[Android Themes] Eduardo911:
just gave that a whirl, same thing, still black box stericson lockscreen
