I am happy that you like it. Also, it is really nice to see that no one has yet bricked their phone from flashing the spl. I really think all bricks were from not following the correct order.

Originally I was going to make a theme for the ROM, but realized I could instead tweak the entire ROM, and by packaging it as one entire ROM, the instances of error have been minimal. I tried a few eclair themes/metamorph, but they never seemed to work without error.

I like to think of my self as creating mixes from the work of others, much like a DJ with music. That way I can give credit to others, while retaining a little bit of credit for the mixing I do. As I am sure you know, it is not always easy to make two media files flow together correctly :)

The double reboot is something I have been doing also, seems to really help.

The disappearing icons should only happen one time, after each new flash. This is a result of apps not being wiped from the sd, but to me is something I can deal with for now. In all honesty, this is something that I have seen happen on a few eclair ROMs, and is beyond my skill to fix at this point. Thankfully there are people better than me working on this as I write.

I forgot to update my prop file, hence the 0.9 build number. This does not affect the functioning of the phone in any manner. I will fix for the next update.

The ROM is nowipe, provided you are not coming from another ROM.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
NortherLite Edition is updated.

There was an issue with market apps not downloading, and not being able to sign into gmail/google talk. I realized that in my mad killing spree, I accidentally erased a few important apks. They have been re-added and everything works.

Additionally, my wife wanted a 3 screen launcher, but not something as lite as I was running. I made this for her, and updated the Northern Lite edition as such. It now has all of the stock apps, with the exception of email, and does not have the 3D gallery (slow and useless in my opinion), and does not have car dock (using the phone while driving is dangerous, regardless of whether it is hands free or not). The 3 screen launcher is so smooth, I recommend giving it a try.

As a side note, try PicSay (in the market). Not only is it an excellent photo editing app, it can function as a nice gallery, with multitouch zoom as nice as the iphones.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
So I've started running into an issue today. I had no problems this past weekend, but at work this morning I've had two random reboots. Both were while listening to music with my bluetooth headphones. The first time I was adding a widget to my homescreen, and the music cut out. Next thing I'm greeted by the G1 bootscreen.

I chalked it up to "excessive multitasking" (?). However, later on while my phone was just sitting there, my music cut out again. I looked over and there was the G1 bootscreen again.

What's weird is the previous 2.1 ROM I used had the same issues. Going back to Nex^2us (2.0.1) gave me no issues. Could it be something with the 2.1 ROM's?

Edit: Oh, and anyway to get the old gallery back vs. the 3d gallery? I'm definitely not a fan....
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I think it is an issue with 2.1, as I have heard this is happening on others also. I never use bluetooth headsets, so I would not notice this. Also I use meridian instead of the stock music player, which has given me no issues.

All of these issues will be resolved when we have access to the actual drivers and the OTA update.

The regular gallery should be installed along side the 3D gallery. Just erase the 3D gallery and it should be okay.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Ok, cool. It's actually a Bluetooth "pendant" from Samsung. Regular earbuds plug into this "pendant". I got tired of always having the cable connected to my phone and getting caught on my desk (or in my work). I'll try out Meridian and see about getting rid of the 3d gallery.

On a side note: I was able to make a quick morph of the launcher from the Cyanoch theme last night. Worked on the first try. :D
[Android Themes] DjRevler:
Plz share? :)

-- -- -- -- -- --

Quick question, which partitions are recommended for this rom?

as far as feedback:

Could u plz post seperate screenshots for each rom? kind of curious on how your new northerlite v1 rom looks compared to the full :)

well why not gonna get update to that rom now lol

also not to bash but i loved the font u use but i noticed that i was too big for sum system apps, words get cut off, etc, so by using the darkstr font got a more professional clean cut look!

check it out.

;)
[Android Themes] hyukei:
it's..... quite nerve wrecking flashing the spl when the brick warning is so big and bright lol.... cant help but keep praying that nothing happens to my phone ><

but.... no regrets! XD even the boot screen is... omg lol (the long 'virgin' boot got me a little worried tho.... lol)

way great job!
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
how did you change to that font? link?

ive noticed the stock font on this rom is big in places *Setcpu* to be one of them.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Well, tried Meridian and wasn't able to get through 1 song before a reboot. It's definitely the ROM acting up, but that's a BETA for ya. I can live with it rebooting every once in awhile....only happens when I'm at work anyway. ;)

I'll upload it tonight when I get home. Currently at work.

Edit: Attached the Cyanoch Launcher Morph. Now, I'm not sure what constitutes it being ROM/Version specific, but I put Any ROM/Version in the .thm file. I do know it does work for Blue_Haze 2.1v1.0. :D Oh, I guess it's for Eclair ROM's since it uses the "mdpi" folder 'extension'.

screenshot of Launcher

remove icon from Homescreen
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
If you would not mind posting the font, I will use it in the next update.

I like this, I will make it blue and use it with the next update.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Haha. I was actually going to make a blue version tonight. :p I will admit I do like the simplicity of the little arrow over the Nexus launcher. ;)

It was actually pretty easy to do as well.
[Android Themes] Zei:
Not bad at all actually, looks better and much smoother compared to most bulky tabs:)

Hey Dr. Clove!! Quick question...I was wondering if you were ever gonna make like another alternative Bar mod for blue haze. Say maybe the light blue you've been using and use it on the bar. If i new how to edit all the packages id do it for you
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Thanks. Credit goes to opasha and drpfenderson for their Cyanoch and Enoch themes. I liked the miniscule/simplistic launcher so I just grabbed it from there. I'm also not a fan of the big, bulky tabs (1.5/6 especially). :D

Also, on the status bar..... the battery, signal strength, usb, etc. images would have to be changed. Maybe turn those black, I guess?
[Android Themes] Zei:
Yes...sorry forgot to say that
[Android Themes] DjRevler:
uploading...

its in the metamorph thread.

here ya go

http://www.mediafire.com/file/atqmwoazdzz/Darkstar-fonts.zip

thanks to darkstar for creating/finding the font! ;)

u mean the trash RED DELETE icon? shouldnt it be left red? lol

unless u mean the white triangle thingy ;)
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
just applied this morph and wow, it completes this rom/theme!

first thing i looked at was SetCPU widget and all the lettering is there!

def will be a nice addon to next release!

screencap of my root section.
[Android Themes] hyukei:
is it me or the lockscreen is a little funny?

whats the point in slide to unlock when it can be unlocked by pressing menu button again? i dont like the 'menu-to-unlock' function as i have pressed it accidently several times before at work.

Any workaround or is it a WIP?

before anyone suggests the stock option to draw unlock patterns, i am using it right now... just feel it is a waste of the nice lockscreen
[Android Themes] secure_6:
ummm.... wow!!!

So, I made the jump over to the Blue Haze (Dark)... I gotta say that I was a bit leary of doing so. I was using your Cloverdale Black lite edition. I personally don't like the white status bar in the Blue Haze : I use my phone alot at night and that white light from it gets to be annoying (even with it dimed) Ahem.. not a complaint!!! Anyways... I love this!!! Im using the Nexus live wallpaper with Beautiful Widgets Home clock.. (transparent background).. my phone visually is the envy of every IPhone user in my unit... I'm talking 21 Iphone (regretters) users.

Which brings me to my question...

I saw this post..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627020&highlight=cyanogen... I tried adding this metamorph that would make the status bar transparent but it didnt work. Are you able to tweak this or add this to your Themed ROM? perhaps as an option???

I think the originator was on to something and I personally think it would be give the desktop a smoooooth seamless look.

Again, thanks for always responding and keeping up with this thread.:)
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I am way to busy to make more mods for this, but the good news is that it is actually quite easy, and I am always happy to help. What you want could be easily accomplished via metamorph. The files that need to be changed are in framework-res.apk. I recommend downloading a metamorph that affects framework-res.apk, opening it up, and looking at it. From here it is quite easy to make your own. Just ask if you have any questions at all. By the way, check out gimp, it is a free graphics editing program similar to photoshop.

P.S. After 10 years of school (6 years of grad school alone), it seems unreal that I will soon have Dr. in front of my name :)

All of these are in framework-res.apk, and are quite easy to change.

Thanks, I found the metamorph link and it is in the currently uploading update.

I was unaware that the red was the delete color. I left that intact, added a blue glow for regular selection, actually centered the glow (did you notice it was off-centered, and did not match up with the arrows, too annoying/sloppy for me to look at every day), and did away with those pointless arrows. I am very happy with the outcome.

Here is the workaround: Purchase a phone that 2.1 was intended to run on.

I made a transparent status bar at one point, but really did not like the results. It makes the icons difficult to see over most wallpapers. It would be easy for you to make a metamorph for this, give it a try and post the results.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
I might see about doing the Status Bar morph if I have any time in the next few days.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Okay, the newest version is up. I reverted the music app, and changed some other things. I really hope there are no more reboots when playing music. Please let me know the results. Additionally, the 3-screen launcher is now standard, it is too fast and small to make it an option. Flash the expansion pack to have 5 screens. The darkstar font is added, quite nice. Thank you for the idea. I made my own launcher (inspired by the enoch launcher), I hope you like it.
[Android Themes] sitimber:
adb push VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk system/app

get keyboard from expansion pack

idea when you press menu can you not colour the options there like on the settings menu

justs flashed and first impressions are very nice
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Yeah, definitely liking this. I'm so used to 5 screens though, but I'm gonna give 3 a shot and see how I can do. Hopefully my music problems are fixed....but it's ok if they aren't. :D
[Android Themes] Zei:
I'd be more than willing to help you out with this and seeing as I wanna learn more things about creating themes this would be the perfect opportunity. Please send me a PM bro

I never had any problems while playing music:confused: I like the simplicity of the newer one[I have 6GB worth of music on my joint] I can just push the music.apk from the previous update right?

That would look very nice.

This is why Im loving this theme. Everyone is sooo willing to contribute to the cause instead of putting it off on the OP. Maybe this can become a community themes ROM LOL
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
installed 1.5 and wow, alot faster then 1.0!

still looks nice, the darkstar font looks perfect with this theme!

and i love the launcher in this version!

side note.

never noticed this before but the htc dream charges CRAZY FAST when its powered off

went from 40% to 68% in like 2-3 minutes.
[Android Themes] Rabiez:
Dude... you are the man. My favorite theme for cyanogen ever came from you. My favorite 2.0 themed rom ever came from you. Now, here we go again... how are you so good. Thanks!!!
[Android Themes] secure_6:
My two cents...

1st: You kno whats cool about this particular thread??? Not once (that I can recall) has there been unwanted/unwarranted rudeness here... Coming from Cyanogen's thread (not him personally) but the folks on there are harsh if you ask the wrong question or didnt read the previous 100 pages first. It made it tough for a guy like me learning the whole root process on my own to seek help for fear of being made to look like an idiot or worse... being called a NOOB...lmao.

Since switching over to Cloverdale for themes to compliment Cyanogen's ROMs, the assistance and support here has given me the courage to try other things I thought I wouldnt have the nerve to do... MetaMorphing... changing the SPL... changing the boot screen...etc... just three months ago.. I had no idea what a rooted phone meant...lol

Its stoopid, and kinda corny.. i kno...i kno... but Im overseas... and my comfort when Im on downtime.. is laying on my back and messing around with my phone (seeing what else I can do to tweak it).. and Im happy and thankful for cool people like all of you here. I'd buy the 1st round if we were all out drinking but dont expect me to break up any bar fights...hahaha...

Cloverdale... Im loving your work and the latest ROM...
[Android Themes] EggPieAndCoffee:
Fantastic!! This ROM is absolutely the best!! I've never posted in a thread just to thank the creator but i just had to. All my friends have Droids but i still get jealous looks from them after installing your rom~

..And.. Am i the only one that loved the Droid font? :p
[Android Themes] hyukei:
Trust me I would... once they dish out one with a hardware keyboard lol... I'm addicted to it.

Thanks for the update... I also felt the tab was too bulky but dint mind too much as the rest of the theme is pretty epic lol
[Android Themes] Rabiez:
The tab is my favorite one that I have seen on any theme I think. The font goes with everything beautifully and it runs lightning fast. I really can't say enough about this rom. Oh yeah, wallpapers are killer as well.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
I tried to throw a morph together this morning with the Droid font, but it didn't work when I tested it. I even used the Darkstar font morph as a template (changing out Darkstar for Droid where applicable).

Maybe I'll post it up later (with a disclaimer) and someone could possibly see what's wrong. *cough* Dr. Cloverdale *cough* :D

Edit: I think I figured out what was happening. The Morph (Droid-fonts.zip) had the Droid-fonts.thm file, Droid folder, and original folder all in there. After it not working in Metamorph, I noticed the the Droid and original folders missing from the Droid-fonts folder created (by Metamorph) in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/.

I'm not too sure what caused this but I just extracted the .zip and copied the Droid and original folders from /sdcard/extracted/Droid-fonts to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/Droid-fonts. Then went back into Metamorph and chose 'Existing Theme' ->Droid-fonts.thm ->Droid.cpy and it worked.

I know that's not the way it should be done, but maybe someone has an answer to that issue as I'm still learning the in's & out's of Metamorph. :D Here's the morph.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Yes, you can just push the previous music app and it should work fine. I plan on the eclair music player being added to the next update, I just want to make sure it works correctly.

My intention was to let this become a community effort. I will continue to produce the base ROM, but if people want to add metamorphs, etc, I will add them to the OP (Or maybe the second post can be our "add-ons" section).
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I am happy to hear the positive feedback. I too am loving the way this runs, and cannot wait to have all of the proper drivers :)

Thank you very much.

Part of the reason I wanted to start a thread was to give people a place they felt free to ask questions, and learn how to tear apart/rebuild ROMs. I have been very happy with how respectful and helpful everyone on this thread has been. Thank you to all of you for making this such a nice thread on which to post.

P.S. A year ago, I did not even know how to run simple commands in Linux. It is amazing what having this phone (and switching my OS to ubuntu) have taught me.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I did like the droid font, the decision to change was based on two things: 1.) It really does run outside of many text boxes, 2.) I grow tired with the same thing all of the time. I really do like to change things to keep my phone always looking new.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
The morph looked fine, I am not sure why it was not working for you. The only thing I can think of, is if you applied all, it would give the original font when it was done.

I repackaged it to only have the droid font. Give it a try,
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
I didn't do 'Apply All'. Just Droid.cpy. Hmm.... guess it just means I'll have to do some other morphs and get better at them. :D
[Android Themes] antoniusrex:
just upgraded to 1.5. i seem to have trouble with my keyboard not showing up. has anyone else had this?
[Android Themes] intyleritrusted:
First of all I love this theme, and the only force close I've had is when I was trying to get through the phone set up. But otherwise very stable and very very fast.

BUT what is up with the atrocious battery life? within 3 hours I went from 100% to 42%, while I was IN CLASS, in other words, not using my phone at all. The battery life usage statistics are saying

Cell standby 69%

Phone Idle 23%

Display 8%

Voice Calls 2%

oh wait it just went down to 27% from 42%, it was at 42% a half hour ago and its been sitting next to me sleeping. My battery easily gets a full days of work with manup's eclair rom, so its not a dead battery. I have set Cpu scaling the cpu down to 245 mhz when the phone is sleeping, and advanced task manager to close any apps running in the background, and no I'm not using live wallpaper. Anyone else having this problem?
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
my battery usage with 1.0 and 1.5 are the same as they were with cm 4.2.x and king's 2.1 eclair.

get almost a day from txt/facebook/music

also 1 bug ive noticed *doesnt bother me* might for others

is when you have auto rotate on it doesnt rotate the home screen and some other apps.

[Android Themes] DjRevler:
idea!

lol

well i was thinking u should have YOUR OWN little metamorph section in ur RESREVED SECOND POST!

Single individual morphs for the nexus launcher icon, fonts, etc

just an idea so that if sumone wants to tweak out ur AWESOME rom to there likiing dey can! ;)

just an idea lol

cuz ive been noticing sum people like the changes, sum dont, so now dis way evey1 can b happy...
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Be sure to get the new update, it is nice. Also, check out the second post, it is set aside for community additions to the theme.
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
just flashed 1.6 all booted up fine.

going to check out the new adds and will get back.

edit:

--Added (and themed) Google Maps with multitouch (amazingly smooth).

<-- very very smooth nice addition!

--Added Cyanogen's multitouch gallery (not so smooth).

<-- definatly not so smooth, blocky transition but nice addition aswell for future smoothness

--Returned to Eclair Music App (fully themed). All Music-Reboot errors should be fixed.

<-- glad to see this back i had no reboot problems with it before

--After first boot, subsequent boots should be faster.

<-- definatly alot faster second+ boot thanks for this!

--Added stock keyboard.

<-- i use betterkeyboard so i dont know what its like.

--Added blue color to menu items.

<-- more blue with the black is always good! more more more !

--Overall ROM is smaller, more efficient.

<-- probably why the rom flashed so quickly! which was nice
[Android Themes] hyukei:
just a question... i am using G1

is the live wallpaper only half working due to my phone being 'not meant for 2.1'?

for eg, the galaxy live wallpaper does not swirl

just would like to know before i try to 'fix' it ><
[Android Themes] antoniusrex:
just installed 1.6 and keep getting force close on the camera. any one else with this issue.
[Android Themes] hyukei:
FC on mine too
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
FC's on trying to open it? I was able to open the camera app, but after that had no control......then the 'Force Close or Wait' menu.
[Android Themes] antoniusrex:
that's what happens to me
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Then yes, I get it also. Dr. Clover posted on his twitter that he's working on a fix. :)
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I think this is correct.

It is fixed, and a new version will be posted soon.
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
i dont get F/C with camera but it does act really weird. will install new version when posted. thanks for being quick with any problems anyone has! sure helps those who like this rom and wanna stick with it.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I assure everyone the fixed update is uploading. The upload kept failing, then I realized I was out of server space. It will be posted as soon as this attempt finishes uploading.
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
No prob, Dr. Clover. We're all a patient bunch in this thread. :D
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
The fixed version is up. Let me know if there are any other issues.
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
flashed 1.7,

i did the backup launcher before, flash rom, restore launcher and i get problem loading widget on all widgets on the 3 screens, i try and delete to replace it and i get "android.proscess.acore has stopped unexpecteddly try again" error and the widget doesnt delete.

*edit*

trying to reflash rom without the launcher backup/restore will update when it boots

*edit 2*

did nanoid to last update and then rebooted, then recovery and flashed 1.7 and its running fine

so it was a problem with the launcher backup/restore.

camera still works the same, didnt get f/c in 1.6 but i when i take pics in both 1.6 and 1.7 i get a scrambled screen when it takes pic goes away, pic is perfect. and goes back to camera as usual.

one more thing, do you guys recommend nanoid or bart backup ??
[Android Themes] ihackyourtech:
when I tried using the backup script for my homescreen, it said file not found. A little help? I hate having to redo my homescreen after flashing.
[Android Themes] Zei:
This used to happen to me when I use to use ALOT of metamorphs and eventually had to wipe the phone and reflash one of cyans ROMs

MyBackup Pro allows you to save your android homescreens and restore them later. Check Your PM.

Dr. Clover, thx for the updates because I was getting SOOOO many random reboots to the point where it would even boot up anymore. Super smooth and fast.
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
I just use the straight rom no morphs

is there anyway to get this rom to work on the new rogers radio?

kinda getting annoyed with the daily phonecalls and txt msgs.
