Details!

Update.zip is 31.8mb in size as its a fair few .apk's ;)

Metamorph file size is just over

5mb

, so i have achieved a smallish footprint of this theme.

Modifications

Rework of Android UI

Customised Keypad dialler

Status Bar Icons from HelloMoto

Over 40 apk's have been modified in some way

Changed the Screen Lock pattern icons

Lots of stuff i cant think of.......

*I have only modified the apk's i am currently using on my ROM build (3.2 Beta 5; very LITE version)

Basically i have edited a lot of stuff, changed a lot stuff and borrowed a lot of stuff ;) To make this theme, i like it, now...

And am gonna be making a LITE ROM, based on MCR builds and also a ASOP build based on one of those builds...with this type of theme built in.

:)

FYI

Your Home screens will be reset, i cant do this yet (put them like i want), but in future i will be able to, just need to open the xmls with hextool..will be same result with the update.zip too.

I have used Beautiful Home here in my screen shots for my Home....i just wanted to show you a comparison of HTC vs Android (not much difference)

The Battery Widget is BatteryLife

The Settings Widgets are Beautiful Widgets

The News Widget is News Buzz

I did the Google search bar in the Android UI too :P

I am ultimately NOT responsible for anything that occurs from use of the provided theme. Use at your own risk and hopefully enjoy it.

How To Install Metamorph Theme

Always BACKUP your Hero (Nandroid or whatever you use)

For best INSTALL RESULTS for Metamorph & update.zip,

Re-install current ROM fully, let it install, set up, then reboot when finished

...

Then either....

see below for options....

Metamorph Version

1. Download the Metamorph application from the Market

2. Download AndExplorer application from the Market

The above are required, Metamorph uses AndExplorer to search your device for themes

3. Download then copy the .zip theme from this thread, to your SD card to a location you know of.

4. Open Metamorph, and select 'Pick Theme' after it checks your device ;)

5. Select the theme from its location, then Install All (Apply All).

6. It will extract the theme, and a progress bar is now shown in Metamorph as it extracts the theme.

7. It will then install each apk one at a time... it will take some minutes...and some more....:(.

When it asks to force close an app, please do so.

** I recommend keeping the phone awake during the installation to ensure it installs as quick as possible **

8. When it asks to REBOOT, it probably won't (even in newest Metamorph version), so just manually reboot by turning device off and then on again.

Update.zip Version

1. Download then copy the .zip theme from this thread, to your SD card (ROOT)

2. Boot Device to Recovery mode & flash as normal...

3. Reboot

RESULT

If you already run other themes in some form or another, the best install method above will benefit you most :P

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] EbiEre:
I tried your Theme and its still ob my hero,so i like it.

There is just one thing i dont like:

The dark black coloured Status bar at The Top. Its to dark dir me. When you pull it down its a little more grey, this colour i would like to See as Standard.

Hope you. get what i mean.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] shokka9:
I get ya bro....

But i prefer the Black bar ;), thats how i do it....

If you want i could make u a quick Grey bar like the pull down and post later tonight (am at work) and u can just update with Metamorph

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mjcook1984:
right ive installed it this is my first time trying metamorph so bare with me. i followed your instructions above it installed and i then rebooted and ended up with a few problems

-it removed my people.apk completely off the phone

-removed most my widgets from my home screen but i just added these back on

-it completely removed the htc picture frame widget altogether

- when i press the phone button it just brought up a text saying phone it didnt actually open the dailer

- lock screen was still the same

- the pattern password screen was still the same

ive restored my nandroid backup and will try again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mjcook1984:
still a no go for me im affraid i tried to install some parts individually but im still having problems. if you could do a update.zip that i can apply from the recovery menu id appreciate it as i like the look of the theme from the screen shots
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] shokka9:
@ mjcook1984

Thats strange.....what ROM are you running.

For it removing apk's; well thats something i have never seen. :P

All those widgets, are actually in the metamorph theme too, so it wouldnt remove them.

Try installing one at time.....bit tedious but hey. :)

Update.zip will come, i made one last night, but it doesnt work fully.

I even sucessfully installed this theme to my own ROM (based on Modaco 3.2 beta 5), it has no rosie etc.

Even tho the ROM didnt have some of the apk's it still installed fine and everything working fine.

I would recommend, wiping, then when fully booted, reboot, then use Metamorph again. NEVER UPDATE a metamorph theme ALWAYS replace.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mjcook1984:
thers defo something strange i just tried kos-worlds black eclair and that came up with the same problems.

im running modaco 3.1

ah just realised ive not got andexplorer ive been using astro will try again
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] shokka9:
Hmmm....i tested mine originally on MCR 3.1 (and 3.0 & 3.2) so it should work....

I know you wont want to, but try wiping, reflashing the 3.1 ROM, rebooting, then running Metamorph.

Strange. Have you used any other Metamorph themes before?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mjcook1984:
no first time ive tried to use it. just tried again with andexplore installed still the same problems but this time the htcpictureframe.apk stayed. i am using a custom theme that was applied from the recovery menu i wonder if that causing the problem. il re flash 3.1 and see if that sorts it
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] shokka9:
That might be it....

;)

Try again bro :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattimlett:
Hi Guys

Got a bit of a strange problem, I've got an XDA Orbit 2 (HTC Polaris) in which I have recently flashed with 3kostas244 rom. The rom is fine and works great on the device, however, my touchscreen has recently stopped responding and I have a password on the device, because of this I can't pair it to my pc through activesync. I think the screen may be related to a software problem but I'm unable to put the device into boot loader mode so that I can reflash it. Since I updated the Hard SPL to SPL-V2, the hard reset no longer works.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I could reflash this?

All the best.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
Try MyMobiler

You don't have to pair the device ... you just need an activesync conection.

http://mymobiler.com/

It's like a remote controll to you Orbit2.

You can controll it with you rpc mouse and keyboard.

good luck

fwt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattimlett:
Heya, I did consider that, however I'm unable I need to have a connection to activsyn to get the client installed on the phone, which it won't :-( think I might be at a loss this one, but thanks anyway.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Badwolve1:
When My Mobiler picks up a Winmo device, it installs auto
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattimlett:
yeah it does normally unless you have a password lock on the screen, by which point you need to unlock it so it can talk to activesync, seeing as the screen is broken because of software, thats a no go.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alex-V:
try this:

press and hold the camera button and reset with stylus

now you are in bootloader mode (3colour mode) plug usb cable on and reflash the rom you want :):):)
[HD2 General] Samoht2003:
hi all, i resently got the hd2, updated it with the new rom, and thereby hoped to be free of errors... however i seem to experiense a whole lot of error, more than i had expected... sometimes it wont come back from sleep, it only turns on the backlight of the hardware buttons. then i have to kill it by removing the battery. also sometimes it wont establish connection to the net, then i have to turn off the radio and turn it on again. the phone is 7 days old, and i have had the battery out 20 times allready... is this unusual? should i contact htc? and what are your experiences with their support?
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
I would recommend a hard reset and not installing any software or doing any "tweaks" and test that for a bit.

You should find that fully functioning and stable (on 1.66 ROM) from there add the software that you need and see how that goes and don't bother doing the treaks, registry hacks unless

a) you know what your actually doing and what it changes and​

b) you actually need the change.​
[HD2 General] Samoht2003:
ok, I'll try that is the new ROM from htc that unstable?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
as above.... test it with just the 1.66 rom, nothing added, and if it's still unstable get it replaced under warranty.
[HD2 General] thomaskleis:
1.66 ROM is also unstable...

..or if I may refraise: Using ROM 1.66 is no guarantee for stability. My HD2 crashes or locks often when I use the phone functionality. No program or app have made the phone crash. I have tried to monitor what apps are running but I´ve not been able to conclude anything. Hard reset has been done followed by a backup restore.

Now I am uninstalling programs each at a time to see if this improves.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
dont restore your backup, there could well be something in your backup causing a problem.

(depending on what you have backed up)

hard reset, or ideally task 29 and reflash then just use it as it is.....

use ms myphone to backup your contacts and sms if you need to.

Hi everyone....i just have a few questions about HTC Leo..

i haven't got mine yet [still have to wait another week]...but i used to create themes for symbian phones specially nokia.....I'd love to do this for my Leo..

so, here are my questions:

1- what is the program used to create themes for Windows mobile phones ?

[ just like carbide UI theme creator for nokia ] or do i have to create it by a difficult and different progs????

2- how to change the icons?

i've seen alot of icon sets on the forum all in cab format and not included with the theme...that makes us reach the third Q

3- the icon set is made in one cab and the theme in another cab...is this the only way?

4- what is the proper size and format of the icon to be used [Jpg or Png] or should i use them in Ico format???

5- what is the program used to create the cab of the icon set ???

i hope that you all help me and thanks in advance....
[HD2 General] mohammed fayed:
another Q :

for wallpapers do i have to create them also in a cab format or this is an option...and if i should create them in cab format, what program should i use?????
[HD2 General] linhly:
my battery died when i was out, went home plugged it in the charger turned it on htc sense wont load and i have no signal. tryed soft reset still not loading.

what is the problem?

a problem has occurred with cporg.exe

this is a message i get on start up.
[HD2 General] Hojlind:
If you are brave or at least got your phone backed up, you could try a hard reset :) If you are able to access the phone, and its only sense that does not work, then i think you should back up the data and contacts you have and try it :) Dont know if there is any easy way around though ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bdfx69:
I have a Tilt2 and would love to have someoene develop a camera mode for HDR (High Dynamic Range).

In essence, on higher end cameras, you snap a photo which will take 3 (or more) rapid succession photos while changing the EV lighting. For example, On my Canon camera, I can set the step value to 1 or 2. What the camera does is snap 3 photos:

Step of 1:

1st shot - EV = 0

2nd shot - EV = -1

3rd shot - EV = 1

or Step of 2:

EV = 0

EV = -2

EV = 2

I can then merge the photos into an HDR image with 3rd party software. Other macros on the Canon may allow 5 photos in succession, so I my end result would be:

1st shot - EV = 0

2nd shot - EV = -2

3rd shot - EV = -1

4th shot - EV = 1

5th shot - EV = 2

Can one of you wonderful programmers create an HDR mode or help me figure out how I can add this feature to the Tilt2?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staunty:
I've found some commands to use but I am not sure if I've done them correctly. I was able to get a file out of the commands (a .apk file) but it seemed to be created as a document rather than a unix executable file. The icon appears as a sheet of paper rather than that black box of other executable files. I am on a mac right now so anyone familiar with it on a mac would be a great help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
What about just adding the .apk extention? cp /filepath/ /sdcard/app.apk then mount the sdcard and pull it over if you can't work out adb.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staunty:
When I change a file name and save it as a .apk, it doesn't seem to truly save it as a .apk. Normally, on a mac, .apk's are seen as a unix executable file and the icon is a little black square. If I change a files extension to <filename.apk> it just sees it as a document with the name <filename.apk>, NOT <filename>.apk. It doesn't recognize the file as a true .apk. I'm not sure if that makes sense but its a much more difficult process on a mac than it is on a PC. If i save a file with .apk at the end then try to sign it, an error comes up saying that the file is not a file.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
apk's are just zip files with a signing signature, they "unpack" like a zip/rar archive. There is no reason to open them with terminal. They are either damaged or you didn't copy them off your phone correctly, see the second sentence of my post.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staunty:
I know what you mean and I know how they work, I'm just not explaining myself correctly...I think I have it figured out though.
[G1 Apps and Games] zim2dive:
I'm (very) new to Android, so I may have misunderstood some things.

I have rooted and flashed the latest CM, and that is running well. I note that the cooked ROMs tend to offer us things in a 1.6 base that would otherwise require >= 2.x.

I use Timeriffic, at a minimum, to switch my phone to mute/vibrate while I'm at work.

I am also using it as a partial power/battery management tool. ie. I have it set the phone to Airplane mode from 11pm-7am.

Timeriffic does offer the option to toggle Bluetooth automatically, but its disabled for me, which I'm guessing is b/c I've read some things that suggest that the API for this was not released until 2.0, thus progy's don't support it.

Question I have is whether

a) the app is simply detecting the OS version and assuming the feature isn't there

b) OR is the feature is something that can be back-ported into 1.6, altho then app in question may/not still realize its there and offer the user this control.

And/or is there any other 1.6 compatible time-based scheduler that offers the ability to control Bluetooth. Given my druthers, I would only enable it for 4-5 hours/weekday, and then all weekend, the times I am likely to be in my car, where I would use my BT headset.

thanks,

Hi guys...

I hope I wrote in the right section of the XDA Htc Touch Pro forum.

I ask you a simple question. What do you think is the most standard wm 6.5 Rom for Htc Touch Pro? I mean a rom without 3d part applications, with original icons, original taskbar, original startup screen, original start menu, original Htc black theme, original colours, ecc ecc... (Obviously also stable and performant).

I ask you this because it is difficoult to uninstall applications from cooked roms and I'd like to personalize one with my preferred apps.

Can you give me some suggestions?

Thank you in advance!!! :)

[Android Apps and Games] ekeefe41:
I hike and mountain bike. Many times when I am out in the wilderness there is just no data, so map information is unavailable. Also trail information is not a part of google maps data.

I was thinking a paid app for this would be great. You could charge for each map! You would need a web site where people could submit map images

Example: http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/trails/blueHills.gif

Then some software to sync gps information with the image.

Then sell each map as a single application.

Image data could be stored on sdcard.

If someone wants to do this... I have no $$$ just the idea. I would be willing to do the labor of syncing the map image to gps data when people submit new locations. I am not a programmer, so the coding would be all you :)

You could also just steel this idea :)

If you do can you at least give me free versions of what ever location i request :)
[Android Apps and Games] cashless:
Maverick, RMaps and a few others already do this and allow you to make custom maps, blah blah blah... Oh yeah, they're free too.
[Android Apps and Games] ekeefe41:
I am aware of "custom map" applications, I don't think either has the capability to place an image over the top of the custom map like the trail map above.

I'll play around with TrekBuddy and RMaps and see if it is doable

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
[Android Apps and Games] cashless:
An "image" would be an KML or GPX file that would in face overlay on top of the map. Both Maverick and RMaps both do this.

[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Hi All,

I've added a couple of folders into my HD2's Start Menu and sadly they resemble the old folder icon from 6.1.

Is there a location of the images for the stock folders? I noticed there is an "icon.ink" in the Games folder, pointing to:

"shellres.dll,-8229"

The other folders don't seem to have this shortcut in them, but they have the 6.5 (or Sense?) style icons also.

Does anyone know the location, physically or within the .dll mentioned above for the other folder icons?

I'm using Total Commander, so if that misses the other folders' icon shortcuts, please let me know.
[HD2 General] B.Maximenko:
Custom icons of folders and files in Start menu are assigned with string "Icon" in corresponding keys here:

So if there is a stock icon in your start menu, you can look its location and copy it for your new folder.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Excellent, thanks!

Will take a gander and report back.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Right, Ok.

All Icons changed and a few menus reordered. Thanks for your help!
[HD2 General] B.Maximenko:
I forgot to mention that you can also use software to make it easier. I use JWMD (search it here, I can't post a link) to reorder the icons. As for icons, I saved my customization to a .reg file and import it every time I do a hard reset.

By the way it is very comvinient to gather all the preferences into one .reg to easily restore custom settings after HR. I dump entire registry before and after changing some settings and compare the two .regs with my svn client which has a good tool for looking difference between two text files. Offtopic, anyway, but I'm happy with my "idea" and hasten to share it. :)

Glad my reply helped.
