You know my Desire Status Bar? I don't like the green battery anymore. I like other colours.

So I'll share my theme for you. I hope, you like it.

Look here:

Installation and Downloads

At first I have to say something new!

The new Metamorph seems to be a bit unstable by applying themes with coloured text in the statusbars. Some of you have reported problems while applying it. So I have decided to make the theme applying in a few little steps.

This is a Metamorph Theme. You have to install Metamorph (or better: Metamorph Pro) from the market. Copy the following files to your SD Card in the folder "AndroidThemes"

If you have problems

Check following

Step 1:

Download and apply this

Main Theme File for Cyanogen and Enomthers

Main Theme File for MCR ROM

Step 2:

CMUI file for Cyanogen ROM Copy this to the root of your SD Card, delete the ".desire" extension. Go to Cyanogen Settings and Load this file

Text Colour File for Enomther ROM2.11. Install via Metamorph.

Text Colour File for Enomther Rom2.21preAlpha+Copy this to the root of your SD Card, delete the ".desire" extension. Go to Spare Parts and Load this file

Text Colour File for Modaco ROMs Install via Metamorph

Thanks to all, who have made it possible!!

What changes this morph:

- Statusbar

- Battery Icons

- WiFi Icons

- Mobile Icons

- GPS Icon

- Gmail Statusbar Icon

- Email Statusbar Icon

- SMS/MMS Statusbar Icon

- Google Talk Statusbar Icon

- Statusbar drawer

- Thanks xkonni for the Statusbar Drawer in correct sizes!

My Thanks goes to:

DocRambone for the Ideas

KnowFear for excellent explanation of making Metamorph Themes

Ohsaka for making it easy to change the services.jar colours with his incredible colour changer

Stericson

for his awesome metamorph app

HAVE FUN!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] technicolor:
really good work, i like all the notification bar icons and their colors. Can you get Gmail notification like a real one RED
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
does the market bug still exist in metamorph?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
If I get the ressources and the permission, I could implement it.

Could you please explain, what you mean? It only changes some png. On my nexus I can´t see any issues. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Know-Fear:
Check your PMs Formel.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] simms22:
nice! great job :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Huey85:
Great stuff - thanks! On a side note, could you share your wallpaper? :) Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
I like and am using this morph, but am not a big fan of the wifi bars color. Any chance you can make it cyan like CM's clock and power widget??

Also, it might look better if the "E" or "H" or "3G" were a different color than their upload and download arrows. More Cyan is always good. I think there is too much of the same color between the "E/H/3G", the signal strength and the battery level. It might be better if they were not all the same color.

Keep up the good work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Thanks for your replies!

I'll give it a try. I don't know, when I can look at it, but I will do it!

Thank you! :)

Thats the wallpaper:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Here is a Version with a new GMail Icon.

Please test it. Make a Nandroid before.

I couldn't test it for now.

Hey, thank you!

I love NubDial! You did a great App!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
The Gmail version works fine on CM 5.02. I might be just imagining it but it seems like the Gmail icon is bigger than it is supposed to be.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Know-Fear:
The gmail icon is the same size as the original stock icon. It may just look a bit bigger due to having crisper lines. I didn't include any shading.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
? Too big? Really? It's 38 x 38 as it could be in Statusbar.

Could you please make a screenshot?

I have it now on Modaco (only the gmail icon) and it's quite pretty I think. It's another like the well known from enoms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
hehe. Thanks man.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] technicolor:
great job on Gmail icon, it looks awesome. I will send a screen shot tomorrow morning.

Can you change the exchange email icon to different color icon too?? Now with gmail icon it looks too boring. Not a big deal just wanted to throw an idea :) no end to customizations here

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
You're right, man.

I've been looking for nice exchange, gtalk ans sms icons.

I think, I can do that.

I have a look at it.

Thanks for the Idea.

@Formel-LMS

How do you get that percent on left edge of status bar?

THX!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yeah, thats Battery Monitor from skamped.

http://skamped.com/batterymonitor
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
It was not available in the market...I also tried from his website...Can You post .apk?

Regards.

Post Scriptum

To revert to original stock theme, is it enough to uninstall MetaMorph app?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Now I've updated the file in the first Post.

Changed WIFI Bar Colours, added a nice Email icon and added a nice Gmail Icon.

No big things, but it looks quite better with this.

I love the other icons. So they are still in it and I won't change them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yes, I had a look now for it and it isn't in Market anymore. Sorry. Search the other markets. It's a payed app, I think I can't give it away per mail. Sorry!

I think it's now in an alternative Market for Android. :o

If you didn't like the installed Metamorph Theme, go to recovery and install your rom new.

No Panic, you don't have to wipe or make all settings on Nexus new.

It just override the little things, metamorph has changed.

Nothing more. It's a thing for about 5 Minutes and you have your stock Theme back. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Breakthecycle2:
Is there a way you can make the button presets the same blue as the status icons? Like on how the Hero rom's they are green?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
DL link doesn't work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Oh, which Buttons do you mean? The buttons on the bottom, launcher with its handles left and right? Or the buttons in pulled statusbar?

The Link worked, I've just tried for a few second. You take it from first post?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
LOL sorry I just went over my DL limit...pls mirror it...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Updated again.

I think, that are the Buttons, you've meaned.

The link in first post ist the newest.

Has anybody a Mirror for us?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
Thank you mate! Now it's fine...I hope you can "Cyanoged" all colors present in this skin...it will be perfect! I also found Battery Monitor and I have customed its widget with Cyano...very beautifull indeed! Only one thing, it seems that your percent text size is bigger than the one that comes with app. Did you change it?

Regards.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
No, I've done nothing with it.

Could it be, that your Version is not the newest? There was an Update for that.

If you have installed my theme, could you please make screenshots from the taskbar pulled down (because of the pressed Buttons?) and the statusbar with gmail and email icons?

I'm on Modaco ROM now, I can't try this completely out.

Thank you (or another who could to that)!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
All pretty fine but if you could change the battery and signal color to Cyano like wifi one, would be the best...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
I hope these are the screenshots you required...as can you see, I would make cyano also battery and signal. Battery seems to have lost that kind of 3D effect that can be seen in Hero green theme, just like the other theme you made.

I also would clean the task bar pulled down appearing...too signes in my opinion.

THX for your work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yeah, thank you!

Now I've updated this theme again. I've put some statusbar icons to it.

Sorry, but the other changes I didn't want to apply.

I like this theme "as-it-is"

But, feel free to change the icons, what you want to change. It's more than easy. If you have a theme with the icons you want, copy it to the right folder. Thats all!

:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] asci:
@Formel

...I just have modified smt by myself, thx! Is there any way to avoid the widget messing up?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
No, it's because of the launcher2.apk which is modified.

If you have an own theme, post it in a new thread. We will see it and download it and enjoy it. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
I'm liking this quite a bit. Since the battery meter app doesn't exist anymore, do you think you could possibly toss the apk online?

I am porting over the battery images from this ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5486805&postcount=4 ) to your color battery indicator...I'll toss the morph here once I have it done (when I have some time to work on it).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
The updates look good, especially the cyan Wifi bar. Could you make the "E" "3G" "H" cyan aswell because I miss the cyan when it switches from Wifi to "3G"?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masse1369:
Is there an easy way to change the color of the battery and signal strength? I'm a complete n00b with this kind of stuff... Love the theme though...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] technicolor:
Awesome, good job on all the icons. I am for sure gonna use it should make it sticky or something....

Here are 2 screen shots with almost all the icons
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Huey85:
THANKS! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denimjunkie82:
This is the very first theme i've ever installed. And I love it, thanks for your hard work on it Formel. Not sure how I feel about purple battery, but I love everything else. Very clean.

Random question - this is my very first time using a Metamorph theme. How would I go about removing a morph theme and going back to stock? Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Wow, mates, thanks for reply. Ans special thanks for the Screenshots!

Guys (and girls, if....), it makes me smile, that you like my statusbar.

If you want to remove a metamorph and go to stock:

Go to recovery and flash your rom again. You don't have to wipe or make settings new. It only push the original Images over the image you've done with metamorph. Thats an easy way, take about 5 Minutes.

If you want to change some icons: It could be easy, too.

You can recolour them via gimp or other paintprograms. The Icons should be 38 x 38

I don't wanna change some colours. I like it so. And: Some like red, some like blue, some green.... and so on.

The recolouring of my battery icons is easy. Fill the colour with another goes very fast, the most work is done, because the original Images was shaded, my not anymore.

So, have fun.

P.S.: If you like my statusbar and recolour them, you can made it open to this great forum and make other users happy with it.

It was nice, if you can give me credits in your posts. Nothing more ;)

Ahhh, P.P.S.: I have had a very nice sms Icon. If I found the place where it have to be, I'll make another update with it implemented. Stock sms icon is awful as the other statusbar icons.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
UPDATE:

I have implemented nice icons for sms/mms

Now it's okay! Love it really!

Link is new!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRKoniX:
Button Texture glitch

I really like your statusbar and other color/icon mods :D Great Job!

I have one graphical glitch. As you can see in the screenshots below the pressed button status is somewhat smudged around the edges, like a texture is stretched or something. Doesn't look sharp.

For me I personally would like to see the pressed button greenish instead of purple if that is possible (greenish like the active-item effect in the statusbar dropped state). Or dark-grey :)

I hope you can fix this small button texture problem :)

Thanks again for your great theme!!

(kernel/version info attached in screenshot system_info.png)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Damn, you're right. It's because of the two buttons someone wanted to implement. Sorry. I think I could only back to orange. Because of its a .9.png file and it's terrible to change. Oh no...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PeRKoniX:
I see, well switching back to orange would be better for. I don't know how others think about this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yeah, I think so.

The first post has now the link for stock orange, not crappy another colour.

If someone want Hero style green, I've uploaded it here:

Mine with some little modification

Hi all,

I just did some little modifications. Added cyano indicators with a 3D effect.

THX to Formel-LMS to allow me to do it.

Download File
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Nice. Can you put this somewhere else? RS never seems to allow me to download anymore.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
All I need to flash for this is services.jar and framework, right? I hate redoing all of my widgets from launcher flash.

btw,

What's that clock widget from your first screenshot?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Sweet, thank you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
You'll need to strip the (2) from the file name, Firefox added that when I downloaded. It'll throw off Metamorph otherwise.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Oh, I'm going to be reworking this to incorporate the battery percentage over the meter and then rolling up a new morph. I simply wanted to use this as my base. I may use different icons as well..not sure yet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wortiz33:
great work...how can i install it .....thanks again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
Here are a few screen shots, Formel:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
-install metamorph

-create a folder on your sd card named AndroidThemes

-toss the theme (still in zip form) inside that folder

-fire up metamorph, set it to always allow to run as root

-metamorph will do some checks to make sure all is well, allow it

-two options appear, Pick Theme / Existing Theme. Select Pick Theme.

-Select the theme

-the theme will extract. once complete, you can select which parts of the theme you want to apply. I suggest applying them all by default (Apply All!)

-allow metamorph to reboot your phone.

This is what you need to do for each new theme you want to use. Once you have used a theme once, you can select Existing Theme. Inside the theme folder name you will see a metamorph file (green m icon). Select that to apply the theme.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Thanks @deprecate!

Only one: Before using Metamorph, install an App like ScreenOn and pick Metamorph as an app that never lets the screen go to sleep.

I've had problems with a Metamorph theme, because phone goes to sleep while installing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
I have my phone set to timeout after 10 minutes when not plugged in and to never time out while charging...that fixes the sleeping issue :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nDrg:
I installed this theme and it looks great but it kept restarting my phone every 30 seconds or so :s
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wortiz33:
to deprecate ...thanks man...you rock!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hm, strange. Which ROM do you have?

Had you any force closes, except of Market (Vending) at installing and is your screen going to sleep while installing it?

It's the first, who have a technical problem with it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
will this work with latest cyanogenROM?? (5.0.3)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:

It did!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:

Sorry for that. :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] billy_boolean:
Unable to install it on Cyanogen 5.0.3

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
It's a Metamorph, no recovery update.zip.

Instal Metamorph from market, push this file to the folder AndroidThemes on you sd card and install it with Metamorph.

It's totally easy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] billy_boolean:
Ok thanks....

I'll try now
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Papichulo06:
Im not seeing the sms/mms notification it still looks like the old one. Are you using a different sms application then stock?

Please Download and install again (only framework-res updating is okay, too)

I've update an older version yesterday night, I think it was to late for me yesterday...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hey guys,

do you like the new Background at pushing an icon on homescreen?

Is it okay?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] polo79:
so root is NOT required right? because morph says root is required.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Metamorph is right.

You need root to use metamorph.

No chance without that.

Sorry.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] polo79:
not a problem. will just have to root sooner than i wanted. cause this notification bar is just perfect! lol thanks anyway.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
Any interest in changing up the colors for the wifi/E/3G/signal strength/battery?

It would also be cool if you could add "Notification" and the bottom of the notification pull down window. I think Docrambone has it on one of his themes.

Not really.

But feel free to change and share with us.

These two mod are awesome on this phone, and wanna get rid of the white status bar and i'll be set :)

Hopefully i can install this :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
You can install this, I think.

My morphs doesn't change the whole *.apks

It changes only some icons.

But please make a nandroid backup. Launcher is no problem, but one file is changed in Framework that CAN bring you problems.

I don't know if this is changed in your *.apk but i think it is not.

I try to change some icon (like wifi, battery and signal) with icon take form iphone.

I don't like signal and battery color and wifi signal.

I can use a icon in different dimensions? (Now are 25x25)

Done and work very well in my N1

Tell me if u wont

this the my new icon
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Added a new Status Bar Drawer with correct sizes.

Looks now much better.

Why don't u use my normal Hero Status Bar here in this Forum? It was ready as it was. With the Icons, you've changed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
This isn't super important or anything but if I wanted to change the look of the bottom graphic of the bottom status bar of the pulldown window, what would I need to edit? I'm looking to replace it with a more default looking black bar.

Other than that, I LOVE this mod. Icons are sweet :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Thank you for the blossoms (so we say in germany...) ;)

I have a new Version in first post with the more stock looking bar, but the screenshots are with the old one.

Have you tried that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
Yup. Grabbed the Cyanogen version from the 4shared link.

Still shows the attached look. Looking for a more stock look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
I think, I didn't understand you.

What more stock do you mean?

It is the default bar from HTC Hero. If you want to have the Nexus Stock looking only in grey/black I can tell you, that it didn't look very good.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
Aha, gotcha. Ya, I was thinking Nexus stock. But if it looked crappy, then no worries! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
OK, now I understand.

Load the theme that you want to install.

Open it with WinRAR or 7-zip or so (you don't need to unzip it!!)

Then place the attached *.png to this folder:

framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/

Done!

Copy the zip again to your androidThemes Folder on SD Card and apply.

Now you have your own StatusBar with a more Stock Pulldown.

This is Stock Nexus, only more gray/black.

Is it ok? Then make a screenshot please! ;)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
Renaming these to "update.zip" (no quotes) and flashing in recovery mode and it's not overwriting the stock boot animation. I guess try pushing the bootanimation.zip via adb (extracted from your .zip)?
