Is the v3 in post 396 metamorph only? Or can I flash it from recovery? Or does the same file work for both?

Will flash it as soon as I have a clue :)

Edit: Oh, I think I get it. There are *two* files in that post. And, if I do indeed have a clue, one is for metamorph and the other flashable from recovery like the earlier versions...

Edit: Update -- flashed the CHM-CM6-RC3.zip file, looks great so far...
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Wow.... okay I'll make this easy for everyone.

Click this link here for the version that you flash from recovery.

Recovery version

Click this one here for the one that you apply via MetaMorph.

MetaMorph version

Do a nandroid backup prior to flashing or applying.

I am not responsible for anything that may happen that would be commonly be considered as negative. In other words... I'm only responsible for the good but not the bad. :D
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Okay guys... so I have to report for duty for the next four hours.

My shift should end at 0200 hours PST.

I can view your posts and feedback but I won't be able to make any adjustments or anything like that because all interaction will be via XDA App (powered by TapaTalk).

Any changes will have to be done tonight after my shift.

Thanks.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
I still home haven't had any feedback if either versions work. So it won't be released until I can get confirmation.

23 downloads, 0 feedback. Wow... just wow.
[Android Themes] stenomatic:
Sorry Binary. Had to get some shut-eye. After flashing the zip (not the mm this time) on my phone, It's been running as expected, aside from I got a force close upon boot from Launcher Pro. I don't think this has anything to do with the theme. I'm about to remove ADW and various other apps via adb, and I think this will sort that issue out.

All in all, everything looks good and seems to be compatible. If I run across any issue that I think is related to the theme, I'll report it here. Thanks for this awesome theme.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Thanks very much for the input the subject thats exactly what i needed. Out of curiosity, did you do anything to modify ADW Launcher such as MetaMorph or update or anything like that?

Also what device are you using?

I had known as the hard way that for some reason the size of the /system partition seems to me a lot more strict then it was in previous release candidates. Possibly because of gapps. RC3 is only a little larger than RC2. But i even ran into troubles flashing everything even with my MyTouch 1.2 device. And imI am running into troubles with mine i can only imagine what kind of troubles a G1 user would be experiencing.
[Android Themes] bukethead32:
Just flashed CHM6 RC3 on MYTOUCH 3g w/o headphone jack (recovery.zip not metamorph, been having issues loading busybox and metamorph). Currently no issues on CHM. Home pages move smooth, Internet pages loading pretty fast... Very good rom. Will post update tonight.....
[Android Themes] stenomatic:
I did absolutely nothing to ADW before flashing the theme. I have the mytouch 1.2 as well and everything still seems to be running very smoothly.
[Android Themes] timbang:
Sorry, I edited my original post that a) I figured out I was being daft and b) your updates to CHM have been working fine.

I have had some weirdness with a process coming up with a force close/wait dialog and if I choose fc, it leaves me on a black screen with the mouse cursor in the upper left hand corner. However, I'm not certain that this was caused by CHM. Happy to troubleshoot if there's anything you want me to take a look at.

TE Keyboard works now. I wiped and reflashed but still having the issue above.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
That's weird. I never touched SU app. Anyone else having this?
[Android Themes] mistere372002:
You just updated to the new superuser? Try and clear data in settings/applications for superuser it fixed my fc
[Android Themes] bukethead32:
Cleared data on supuser going to reboot and see what happens. Also had market glitches like keyboard would pop up and down. Is there a market fix that I should be using?
[Android Themes] bukethead32:
The above happens when I try and go into the log function of supuser going into settings and apps is ok.......
[Android Themes] Hollywood80:
No issues with Market, SuperUser, or anything for that matter. Running great!
[Android Themes] zenity:
Just went back to CM5.0.8 and decided it was theming time, loving this one, although I'm probably going to change out ADW for Launcher pro, but it's working wonderfully, after a completely messed up first install, ( tried to install everything at once, CM5, gapps, mtd patch and CHM, the results were horrendous, bootloops and fc's galore), worked flawlessly second time around though, after a little work on the /system/app side to get a little more space :)

Thanks dude, this is a keeper :)
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Thanks for the input guys. I updated the first page since it seems stable for the official release and I'll try to get it on CM Updater soon. Does anyone still use that? ROM Manager needs theme support so that we can retire CM Updater.

It sounds like it's just happening to you specifically.

Try backing up your data with Titanium, wipe and then reflash everything.

Sorry that you're having issues though.

What do you think?

Love it?

Meh? (Then make me a better one!)

I had a couple hours free tonight so I used my magic to make this.

I'll attach it too so you can feel free to put it in your signatures if you want. :)
[Android Themes] jadephyre:
I would change the font a bit, as it is too hard to read (because of the effects you applied to the text).

Apart from that I like it :)
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
I'll see if I can go back and tweak it up a bit. It's not as easy as it look using nothing but the internet and free apps such as gimp and paint.net.

It probably won't be until tomorrow because all of the scrap files are on my laptop and I just shut it down for tonight. It's my bed time now and I have a long day ahead of me when I wake up. Crime fighting tonight with the Menlo Park Police Department. ;)
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Okay, so I darkened the effects a bit.

Now what do you think? Compare it to my signature.

[REQ] CDMA Hero

Is there anyone this can get ported for those users running CM6 on the CDMA (Sprint) HTC Hero.

Thanks
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
It should work on all MDPI devices. Currently, it is only supported by D/S devices (MyTouch and G1) however it might still work. You should probably use the MetaMorph version instead to be safe.

By the way! If anyone can port this over to HDPI devices I would be indebted to you! I don't have an HDPI device so even if I tried to make it cross compatible... I would have no way to test it. Thanks!

And in regards to this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/themes-updated-community-hero-mix-for-android/

That was a surprise to me as well. I didn't vote for it and not sure how that happened but it was a bit misleading.

I don't straight up ask for donations (although a few bucks would definitely be nice :) )

The "twenty roms" is support for Cyanogen roms ONLY and currently supports only Sapphire (that is MyTouch) and Dream (that is G1) devices.
[Android Themes] dsMA:
I am very new to android and to the world of cell phones so I have to admit to having no idea what MDPI means or what a D/S device is either.

The reason I asked about a port is because prior to my post I did to apply the theme. I haven't used metamorph before so maybe the reason I couldnt get past the htc screen was because I was doing something wrong.

Here is what I did:

1. I downloaded the community hero mix version 3.0 file that is found in the second post of the thread under the metamorph stat section for cm6 rc1

2. I then put the file on the sdcard

3. booted into recovery

4. flashed from zip

5. rebooted

Was not able to boot past the htc screen :-(

I take it this is not the proper way to do things?

Note I am on a Sprint (CDMA) HTC Hero running cm6 rc1 with the 8-19 nightly flashed over it as well as the uncapped kernel.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
D/S = Dream/Sapphire (G1/MyTouch) devices

HDPI is the large screen devices such as Nexus One, Vibrant, etc.

MDPI would be the smaller screens such as G1, MyTouch, etc.

So if you have an MDPI device (not sure about yours specifically) then the metamorph should work that's in theory. However you would probably not be able to use the the MyTouch or G1 system apps on devices beyond G1 or MyTouch because it's a totally different device. Sure it depends mostly on the rom, but the is dependent on the device. Different device, different kernel and different framework. Different kernel and framework means different system apps. Different system apps means incompatibility with most themes. What probably happened in your case is that you tried to replace the framework on your Hero device with the framework intended for a G1/MyTouch. So when you put it that way... I would be surprised if your phone DID work properly if at all.

So... try the MetaMorph version.

Since it's RC1 then I would suggest using this one: http://nabzilla.googlecode.com/files/Community_Hero_Mix.zip

Good luck!
[Android Themes] SnowToad:
Please don't destroy me for asking, but what are the date and storage space widgets in the screenshots?

Cheers
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Retro Clock Widget by JSource

Internal Phone Storage by NetworkG3

SD Card Storage Widget by NetworkG3

And I won't destroy you. :P
[Android Themes] Snowtoad23:
Heh sweet!

And do you know of any similar widget which displays similar thing but for RAM? thx

Also the NetworkG3 widget says only for 1.5 cupcake - is this true?
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
For RAM? I haven't checked. There might be. Take a look.

If the widget says it's for 1.5 then download it and try it anyway. Most should still work... like the ones that you seem to like in the screenshots. I'm using 2.2 and they work fine for me. My only complaint is that the sdcard widget doesn't seem to properly graph the sdcards beyond 8gb. Since I have a 16gb it doesn't give me a color display on storage remaining like the Internal Storage Widget does. But oh well. ;)

Bug Report

Metamorph > File Name: community_hero_mixv3

Issue: While on the home screen, I notice that when I press the menu button, the "Notifications" and "Settings" icons are not themed. Can this please be fixed. Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Yeah it's been on my to-do list for a while but I keep forgetting. :D

Sorry. I'm writing it down and I hope to tweak it up among other things by next release.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
hey just wanted to drop by show some love good to see this theme is still alive btw cant wait for binary to get a new phone man maybe the g2..........i know ill be getting one we can collab on theming it haha
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
HA! Welcome back Nab! We missed you. New phone? Not likely. Not until I'm due for an upgrade again. I've been pinching pennies for months now and my $500 red light ticket doesn't help. (Aren't the police supposed to stop robberies and not commit them? :rolleyes: )

So I won't be supporting HDPI devices for another year at least.

I do have a donate button... but it's only been used a handful of times ($40 worth). :( Oh well... maybe I'll find a Nexus One/Vibrant laying on the ground all wiped and cleared of data so I can claim it for my own. Hey! It's more likely than me buying one anytime soon. :D
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
So I just fixed it, however I noticed another issue.

Because so many apps tend to use the lighter grey color I and also the images from the framework we get a combination of two different shades in the menu.

Say for example Contacts.

You have 6 in the menu.

Search

New Contact

Display Options

Acounts

Import/Export

Preferences

Accounts and Import/Export are all light grey while the others are a darker grey.

So I can do one of two things.

Go through every single app from the rom and gapps and edit the color of the ic_menu* png files.

Or I can use the original from Cyanogen's rom.

I'm going for using the original. Only because there might still be apps on the Market that also utilize these menu options with a combination of their own and you just can't theme Market apps without serious consequences.

Any objections on this?
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
WANTED: Lab Rats

PM me or send me a message on Twitter if you are interested in trying the experimental version for CM6 Stable.
[Android Themes] TeeJay3800:
You haven't made this final yet? It looks great to me! :)
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
I haven't made it final yet because:

I'm still at work.

You were the only one to test it thus far.

It MAY have something else that might need changing depending on problems which may occur from the installation process.

The more voluteers and feedback that I get the faster I can release it.

With RC3 I had over 20 downloads and almost no feedback. It broke my heart. :(

I mean... how am I supposed to know if it's ready for release when 20 people are downloading it and not even telling me if it worked or not? Did it work flawlessly for all 20? Or did all 20 have issues? If all 20 had issues (except for me for some reason) do you really want me to call it CHM Final??? I didn't think so. :p

So before I can release it I need two things

A few more volunteers.

Feedback from those volunteers.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
So Far, Soooooo Good!!!!

I'm actually getting some volunteers and so far 5 people have downloaded it and flashed it on top of their CM6 Stable roms and 3/5 have been successful and love it! The other two... well... they haven't gotten back to me yet. :D

I'm going for 8/10 (or better) in case your wondering and I have 7 volunteers so far (I sent the link out to two that haven't downloaded it yet).

So I'm hoping that the other two will be flawless and that I can get at least 1 more to volunteer and have a flawless install so I can release this work of art.

What's different?

I fixed the mismatch of colors (or shades of grey rather) in the Launcher's menu option.

I themed the highlights and presses in the Camera

I themed the Sound Recorder (not sure if anyone even uses it... but whatever)

I even themed the DeskClock app and replaced it with the one from the G2 dump as posted here.

Tweaked the framework a bit.

Tweaked some other stuff.

It was rough at first and I'm glad that it got ironed out a bit.

By rough, I mean you actually had to remove a lot of files from /system to get it to work. And you may still have to if you encounter issues flashing.

Best bets would be to move /system/media/bootanimation.zip to /data/local or just remove it completely.

That will save over 1mb of space.

Other tips include removing the Twitter app which will free up over 4mb of space.

You could also remove some of those bulky ringtones.

It goes without saying that I would like nothing more than this to be a flawless release so that is why I'm being so very careful about releasing this too early.

Feeback so far for CHM CM6

Well... all of my testers... sound off. Go or no go.

I'm still waiting to hear back from a few people. If you didn't see your post then make an official statement on here and your vote will count! I want to get this out already!

IF you discover that your theme doesn't seem complete (in other words your power control widget still shows blue buttons instead of green) then check your /system free space. I've had one person say that it he only had 40 kb free and that makes a huge difference! To do this:

adb shell

# df

And you need to have at least a couple megs of free space to make sure CHM installs.

Here are some ideas:

Remove bootanimation.zip (or move it to /data/local directory)

remove unwanted and unnecessary ringtones

remove Twitter (if you don't want it or use it and (can be downloaded from Market)

remove ROM manager (can be downloaded from Market)

Remove protips.apk (it's just the android tuturial widget)

Also... you need to let CM6 boot up first before installing the theme. If you flash the rom and the theme immediately following you have about a 20% chance if success. If you let it boot completely and use it like you normally would for a few minutes (calls, texts, emails, downloading from Market, listening to music, etc) then reboot to recovery and install the theme.

Why? Because I don't want you to have issues and assume that it's the theme that caused it. Also because the space crunch it reeks havoc on your device having original rom apps mixed with replacement files that are signed with testkeys.

Also I have noticed that if you try to use the MetaMorph version, it may not work. You can try it but I couldn't get it to work with my device. So just a heads up there.

So... soon. Very soon. I'm going to try to get in touch with a couple of stragglers that haven't given me feedback yet and hopefully we can get a release soon. I'm hoping for 80% success rate (with a minimum of ten testers) before release and each of the posts above are from different testers. So we're almost there! :D
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
I still need one more positive result for my 8/10 release requirement.

So far I'm 7/7 so if I get one more then I can release it.

Anyone?

Or should I just release it already? :confused:

Input?
[Android Themes] spaceman_g:
It's ready to go

I say go for it, As I said in my post, the only time it got tangled up was when I tried to rack all the updates in clockwork mod. If people follow the instructions about flashing CM-6 and letting everything settle and THEN booting to recovery and flashing CHM-6 they should have no issues.

I have a magic, so I don't suffer some of the problems with memory encountered by g1 users... that said I had to pull my audio files from /system/media to my sdcard to make sure everything went well.

Metamorph? Hasn't worked properly for me on ANY theme since CM-5, if people want to mess around I have found the theme-porter and repacking the update to be the go.

It's ready! I would suggest posting it on the CM forums as well for a bit of cross posting donation gathering.:D

Regards,

Geoff
[Android Themes] |Tch0rT|:
I can test any builds you want and give feedback. I love this theme. I pretty much HAVE to use it or my phone doesn't seem right. Every time I see Cyanogen release a new version I pop over here to see if you've updated your theme.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
I'm flattered and honored.

I'll send you a PM for the beta.
[Android Themes] |Tch0rT|:
OK cool. :D
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
You, my friend, are going to be a very special experiment. I'm counting on your feedback as it is EXTREMELY important because it will determine if it gets released or not.

I just made some EXTREME changes that were actually kind of nail-biting! :eek:

I did a clean install on my device of both the rom and gapps and then flashed the theme.

EVERYTHING went smoother than silk toilet paper across a baby's butt! (I made that up... work in progress)

Please get back to me as soon as possible with the results.

A copy of this with the link will be provided to you by PM.

Thanks again.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
IT'S OUT!

The results are in!

Ladies, Gentlemen, Droids, we are go!
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
It's all yours!

It's yours for the taking!

A heads up first! When you install the theme it will say that it is deleting files. Don't freak out! This is normal. So obviously you should always make a nandroid backup prior to flashing.

When you install CM6 you will have about 2mb of free space in /system directory.

During the installation of this theme it does the following

delete SYSTEM:app/ADWLauncher.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Camera.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/CMParts.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Contacts.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/DeskClock.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Gmail.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Mms.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Music.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Phone.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/Settings.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/SoundRecorder.apk
delete SYSTEM:framework/framework-res.apk
delete SYSTEM:media/bootanimation.zip
copy_dir PACKAGE:app SYSTEM:app
copy_dir PACKAGE:fonts SYSTEM:fonts
copy_dir PACKAGE:framework SYSTEM:framework
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
copy_dir PACKAGE:sdcard SDCARD:

What does all of that mean? It will delete the above mentioned system apps and replace them with the themed versions. It also deletes the bootanimation.zip and places it in your /data/local directory to save system space. So you will lose less than 2 mb of space in your data directory (for your downloaded apps, etc) but it is a necessary evil otherwise the theme may not install.

Do you already have a custom bootanimation.zip file in your /data/local directory? Back it up first before installing!

Awesome theme guys and great work.

I am wanting to install this on my HTC Eris. I currently run the newest version of Kaos Froyo and I wanted to make sure I do it right. Which file do I need to download?

Thanks,

[Android Themes] kanttii:
Thanks for such a great theme!

However, for me it's not working - after a full wipe (radio etc) and installing CM6 & in the end this theme, I can't get any further than start of boot, because it fails loading the core services: "service 'XXX' died

Install procedure:

1. CM6

2. BC kernel

3. gapps-tiny (regular won't boot either, again core services)

4. CHM for CM6 stable

CPLD-12 (From Singapore)

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Any help?
[Android Themes] timbang:
Did you reboot between any of the 1-4 steps above?
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Exactly. Because to ME it seems to be an issue with the ROM and not the theme because you can't even flash gapps. Do a wipe (erase system, data, cache, dalvik-cache) then flash CM6+gapps and REBOOT. After it is all booted up, sign in, use Market, restore your backups and stuff. Make a phone call, setup your voicemail handler, etc. This is to make sure that EVERYTHING works without the theme installed. After you have verified that everything works then you might want to make a backup of your working device.

Afterwards flash the theme and let it boot. It should work for you at that point. If not then post the results here. If not then make a backup of your working themed system and enjoy!
