question, will these morphs work across updates? specifically the black notification bar? right now it still says 4.2.7.1, will that one still work on 4.2.8? or are these morphs the same as the flashing method where each needs to be updated to every single update for cm?
[Android Themes] jroid:
no it won't work for 4.2.8. needs to be updated to the latest cm. bar mods and text color changes are all version specific
[Android Themes] Iridox:
The reason why it isn't working is because you don't have the newer root flashed that has the tools needed for this. You can download the newer version from this link: http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=567

Follow the instructions from the 2nd post... you can do it over bluetooth too if you want (I did, easier than fiddling with the USB mounting). Just rename the file to update.zip, drop it on the SD card in the top level directory and follow the flash instructions.
[Android Themes] roadrunnerx7:
what about launcher color mods? but only talking about the little handle
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
That would still work. The notifications are different though. That's why after each update I post a new White Notifications for my themes.

You don't have busybox installed if you're on a Droid and that might be your problem (basically you don't have copy functionality).

Install DroidSwap from the market and see if that fixes things.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks! I'll add it to the OP
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Keep them coming, i love the font packs.

I'll update the OP.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Hmmm, there's something weird going on in your case.

The only thing i can advise you is to go back to a vanilla install and only apply the morph. Don't apply any other theme first to make sure all your APKs are stock. If that works than it's not a problem with MetaMorph but with the theme you've installed earlier. I still doubt that changing an image in the market apk is causing this since there seem to be more going on from your log.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
And another 2.0 morph. Very nice, thanks.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
I'll check it out and add them. Thanks again.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
I will and thank you!
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Ah, cool. If that works you don't need to install DroidSwap.

Anyway to get the Black Bar Mod on 2.0 rom?
[Android Themes] d0pefish:
I have patched AndroidFiend's Black Bar Mod for CyanogenMod 4.2.8.

All credit goes to AndroidFiend; I just updated the status_bar.xml to work with the newer roms, as the existing Black Bar Mod in the Android 2.0 Stock for AOSP thread was causing the framework to crash/boot loop.

Give it a shot. :)
[Android Themes] xile6:
it does tho dont know y. Also framework-res wont change no matter what theme i use.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Show us results from DF in your terminal. :)
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I have noticed while watching DDMS that metamorph seems to work only on items in the /system folder, and am curious if this is what restricts us from morphing market apps. If one were to push an apk to the system folder, (perhaps renaming it email.apk, etc), would metamorph then be able to work on the apk? I will give it a try after work this evening, but thought if anyone knows immediately that this will not work, then I will not bother.
[Android Themes] jroid:
this has already been discovered by djengizz quite some time ago and he told me that he was working hard on fixing this issue. apparently it's still a work in progress however.
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
The problem with themeing market apps, is you can't resign them with the test keys. They are signed by the dev with their key, it has to be resigned with their key.

It doesnt matter MetaMorph or modding and trying to install it. To modify a market app, you'd need to include it in an update.zip. Even modifying it and pushing it to your /system/app doesn't always work. Including it in an update.zip does however.

You don't need to rename it, and renaming the file won't do anything anyways. the name you install has no effect whatsoever on the actual package name or the app name. These items are located in the source code itself.

So in the end, if you'd like to modify a 3rd party (market) app, this is not the way to go. Pull it from your phone, modify it to your liking, uninstall it, and try to push it to /system/app and if that don't work, include it in an update.zip, resign the update and flash away.
[Android Themes] crizznaig:
link is broke ... that makes me sad....
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Thanks for that, i'll ad it to the OP.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
I'm not sure. I think it should be possible but we need someone to create it first ;).
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Nice, thanks for updating, looking at it now.
[Android Themes] dabo318:
OK I've downloaded Droid swap but whenever I attempt to create a swap file it just says that its creating. I'm at work right now so I've just let it attempt to create the file. I've even uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and got the same results......I think I'm having every problem possible.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Well it's actually failing on the SHA-1 digests within the MANIFEST of the files you've changed.

I'm able to recreate those on the fly using SHA-1 and Base64 encoding and the MANIFEST.MF jar verification is now successful but i'm stuck now on one of the digest entries in the .SF file.

But yeah, you're right, once i get that sorted it might still come down to not having the devs signing keys and if that's the case i won't be able to hack it.
[Android Themes] kaizasoshi:
Nice!!! Thanks a lot man!!
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Did you try the tip from Iridox?
[Android Themes] djengizz:

[Android Themes] djengizz:
Could you maybe put a .nomedia file in your morph so all the images don't show up in the gallery once it's extracted on sdcard? That would be great.
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
One thing I don't know, is what allows us to flash market apps in an update.zip that gets around the signing? If you work around that, I wonder if there is someway we could copy an app from /system/sd/app to /system/app and work a way around the signing of the file
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Thank you very much. I am very new to the aesthetic side of android, and this helps me quite a bit.

[Android Themes] djengizz:
No problem, the thing is i'm not familiar with the Droid so i'm not sure what is going on.

Your problem is probably that you don't have the functionality offered by busybox and i thought by installing DroidSwap you would get the needed functionality but apparently in your case that's not true.

The only advice i can give you is to go and look on how to get busybox installed on your droid and try again.

edit: there seem to be tutorials on how to do this on all droid, google for it.

CMLauncher MetaMorph v1.1

Hey everyone,

As Cyanogen made some modifications to the Launcher as of 4.2.8.1, I decided to update my morph for those who like the new darker background for the app drawer.

These are quite simple as they are made to be added to other metamorph themes, not used alone.

I have also reuploaded the original morph for those that prefer the original app drawer background (Pre CM-4.2.8)

v1.1 w/ Blue Tint added to pull tab select & pressed images

http://www.4shared.com/file/174133995/d24eb8b/CMLauncherBluev11.html

v1.1

http://www.4shared.com/file/174122929/62ba30be/_2__CMLauncherv11.html

Based on CyanogenMod 4.2.8.1 Launcher

Prash's custom app drawer tab

Cyanogen's customized Eclair app drawer background (dark grey)

v1.0

http://www.4shared.com/file/172471973/1650a9f2/CMLauncher.html

Based on CyanogenMod 4.2.7.1 Launcher

Prash's custom app drawer tab

Enjoy!

Please update the OP, thanks :D

*Nexus Power Widget (screens)

*Dinglberry Clock (screens)

For AOSP 1.6

**********************************************************
[Android Themes] djengizz:
You could try to apply the framework-res from Buuf only, this gives you the statusbar and icons for it. It will give you some extra bits and pieces but maybe that's what you want??

If not you could try to edit the zip and remove all those files from framework-res you don't want.
[Android Themes] roadrunnerx7:
i also had the market issue. and definitely it was because of the morphs, but! oly those that mess with the framwork-res(i tihnk). because i has used a launcher morph and everything was fine. unfortunately then i decided to apply the bootscreen, notification, power widget and the meltus hack. so i cant say for sure which screwed it up, but seeing the other posts here, it was the framework stuff right?

is there any plans to fix this?

btw, in case anybody was wondering that blackstatus bar mod for 4.2.8 also works for 4.2.8.1 :)
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
The market issue is not necessarily due to morphs, I leave my market alone when I morph, but still had the issues. I had to undo the tmobile update, then everything was fine. I think it is an issue with user-debug (testkeys).

For the blackbar mod 4.2.8, since the differences between 4.2.8 to 4.2.8.1 were minimal in framework, it should be fine. Just do a Backup first.
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
It does seem that some people are having issues with the market and some other things. I think it is framework related for some, but I think the market update is huge. This weekend I am going to try and go through all the files and see if I can find something I changed that may cause it. Problem is, I'm not having any issues, neither are my friends or GF, so my testing is limited to volunteers.

My reasoning for blaming the update is my GF got the update and it took off the theme to the market

Thats pretty much it. When scrolling through an app it isnt just the pressed and focused, those are also in the framework-res.apk You have a few that you could mod:

grid_selector_background (both pressed and focus)

highlight_pressed

highlight_selected

list_selector (both pressed and focus)

menuitem_background (both pressed and focus)

status_bar_item_background_focused

status_bar_item_background_pressed

I think that covers them all

[Android Themes] djengizz:
Nebrada has posted a nice blue selection effects morph.

Also my transparency pack contains the selection effects from gChrome. You can just apply the launcher and the framework-res for that. It will also give you another launcher tab and background but you could change that afterwards by morphing a new launcher (most of them won't overide the selection effects).
[Android Themes] schtuka:
Pardon the noob question, but how do I do that? By using ADB? Terminal? or program like Root Explorer?

Well, I just put the ZIP file in there without chmod and everything worked on Dwang latest clean. The only couple items I am not sure about are Droid drawer cause I got old tab as a result and I haven't tried Eclair lock screen. I just couldn't find Ericsson Lock screen for Dwang that supposed to be installed prior morphing.
