01-05-10 Update: Updated control file to .xml to be compatible with newest Metamorph. v1.1 is the new version, but the older ones including .thm control files are still there for people holding over.

20-04-10 Update: Added a notification icon. The first zip is still just the launcher icon, and the second includes both the launcher, and notification icons.

Compatible ROMs/Devices

Cyanogenmod 5 - 7.0 (Tested and works, and will most likely work for any version)

Nexus 1/Droid

Those are the only two phones I have verified that work. If you get it to work, let me know and I"ll add it to the list.

Got tired of the straight up blue text so I made it look more like the splash screen text, and sort of what the 1.5 looked like. I have two options, grab the .png and copy over the icon within the Talk.apk and push it back to your /system/app folder, or metamorph.

Let me know what you think. If this is a grey area because it's a Google trademark just delete the post, or let me know and I'll remove it.

Directions:

Download the zip and use MetaMorph like normal to apply a theme.

or

Make a backup of your original Talk.apk

Pull your Talk.apk from /system/app or just copy it to your sdcard.

Open the archive (don't need to extract it) and drag the .png into it, and overwrite the old one. Update the archive if it prompts you.

*If something stops working, just replace it with your backup, or reinstall the gapps. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.*

#As root, copy apk and modify it from your computer

#as root make /system read/write

#copy the updated Talk.apk or push it from adb

#remount as read only

#sync filesystem

#exit root, and terminal and the new icon will appear

#restarting launcher or rebooting will fix the icon text in launcher

su

cp /system/app/Talk.apk /sdcard

exit

exit

#follow directions to modify the archive and place it back on sdcard or push it directly

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system

cp /sdcard/Talk.apk /system/app (or from the folder Talk.apk is in) adb push Talk.apk /system/app

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system

sync

exit

exit

Looks nice.

hope you make som more icon skins:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
I really like it. Nice work. :D

Think you could give the voice icon some love?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
That's what I wanted to do, but I'm still trying to figure out what it should be. The only idea I have would be making a G into the handset.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JaydenR:
Works great using metamorph, thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] atolar:
Only works on nexus one? Can i use this on my g1?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
I'm on a droid, and know it works for both, but I can't really say if it works on G1. Only one way to find out though. Backup your Talk.apk and test it out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zonbal33:
Its pretty easy to switch icons. I wanted to change all my stock icons to the HTC Desire icons. Using adb I just pulled the APK's I wanted (Browser.apk, Mms.apk, etc). In adb I typed "pull /system/app/Browser.apk C:/apps" and that put the Browser.apk on my C:/ drive, and into the apps folder I created.

I then zipped the apk using winrar (Browser.rar) and then opened up the apk file. I found the stock Browser icon in the "drawable" folder and renamed the icon I created to the same as the stock. I then dragged my icon into the folder replaced the stock icon. It asked me to update archive, click yes. Now the Browser.rar is updated with your new icon. Now open up the rar again and drag the apk to your desktop.

I then went back into adb and pushed the apk back.

"push Browser.apk /system/app/" then type "adb reboot" and when you phone reboots the new icon should have replaced the old ones.

Or you can do this using Root Explorer.

Copy your new apk to scard. From root explorer move the apk to /system/app/ (make sure to mount r/w access from within root explorer). Then from terminal emulator type:

su

chmod 644 /system/app/Browser.apk

sync

reboot

Esocid, would you mind placing this and/or any other morph into this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654858.

Thanks just wanna get all Morphs into one thread :)

Copy and paste ;)

Nice work op, greatly appreciated
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
Love it!! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
Is it possible to create a morph that'll use this same icon in the status bar for Google Talk notifications? I use a black bar if that makes any difference. I think the stock ones are fugly :P

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
Not at all. The more people have access to it, the better.

I could, but Formel already has done what you are looking for, see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6155793&postcount=21

If you want a single MM just for a Talk icon and notification I'll just resize it and make a second zip that will do both.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] S_Dot:
doesnt work on enomther 181..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hi,

thank you for linking.

I think it would be better to use this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653043 for the icons in the statusbar. Have a look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
Could you please make the single mm?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
Updated the OP with a second zip with the notification icon included. Screenshot added too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
oh amazing!

thank you so much!

exactly what i wanted.

i dont want to sound greedy, but i've asked around a lot bu no results, so am gonna give it a shot here.

i dont know if you know how to do this, but would a morph be possible to move the battery % on cyan rom to the center?

i've found a morph, however it replaces the whole battery icon, and i personally use the android guy battery icon.

if this is irrelevant, just ignore

again, thanks for the gtalk notification!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
Glad you like it.

To be honest, I'm only sort of a script-kiddie, so I have no idea how to edit the framework just yet. I just got back into grad school, so I should hopefully have some more time on my hands for stuff like this when I start in August, so we'll see. I'm actually trying to make a Voice icon, but haven't had much time. This was really easy because I just had to resize, edit the theme control file, and repack it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
sure i understand.

good luck in grad school!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
Updated OP with new zip for compatibility for new MM version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
it doesnt include the gtalk icon.

however i updated it using the converter, but it refuses to apply the theme.

it says theme applied but my gtalk icon is still the old one
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
Hm, that's odd. I changed the .xml slightly by adding a line between the two items it changes, so I wonder if that was the problem. That's the only difference I saw between my control file and other people's.

*Edit, Also another user at cyanogenmod.com posted that the original v1.1 worked for him, so I'm trying to verify he used it on the stock icon and see what I can do to get it working for you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
i tried it the manual way by placing the png in the apk.

that worked!

dont know why the metamorph doesnt work...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esocid:
Bump.

Tested, and works with CM 7.0 (2.3).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chssoccerplayer:
Hello all, a little information about phone:

Magic 32b

Stock SPL

Stock Radio

Cyanogen 4.2.15.1

Have been having issues the past couple of days with sms notifications not actually coming across. No sound, nothing in the notification bar, nothing. However, as soon as I open the messaging app, I see I have new text messages. Anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? I have already run fix permissions to no avail, wiped phone, ext, all that stuff, and still no fix. Any help is appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilbertinho:
Settings

Did you make sure that notifications is checked off in the message settings.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chssoccerplayer:
Yea, everything is checked and all that. It only happens periodically, if I have been active with the application, it picks right up, but when I haven't been in it for awhile I don't get anything until I open it back up...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilbertinho:
Task Managers?

Do you have any task managers active that might be closing the messaging application? That might be your problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chssoccerplayer:
I do have a task manager, but always kill it to close out of it. I guess that could be the problem, but how, then, do I verify that the task manager is actually not running in the background and killing off the Messaging app?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Maybe try uninstalling the task manager.
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
Ok,so I've tried alot of things to try to get this to work.I have adb working and have created a backup through there,but that's not my problem.I need to be able to do it on my phone like usualy because I'm not going to have access to have a PC after tomorrow.I don't know how this has happened but I flashed DCv2 (not saying anything is wrong with it) and wiped everything,including sd card.I assume that when I formatted sdcard it must of jacked something up.Any ideas? Please don't ask the usual questions,as I have done about 20 different things in 20 different orders to try to correct this.So I cannot create a Nandroid+ext backup,I can't restore a Nandroid backup,but for some reason I can make a regular nandroid backup (minus the ext).But that doesn't help as I obviously cannot even restore them.
[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
I'm having same problems after DC..............................
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:

[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
It happened after 1.1, I cannot backup or restore. It kicks the error about running it via adb. At first it was a power issue, now its constant.
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
Yea,just RUU'd (1st time doing so) and going to try to go back to DC once he gets that update out.Till then I'll just roll with my stock-ness.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tri0xinn:
Over the last 4 years I've used Winmo/Iphone/Webos and Android.. Winmo more than any.. but WEBOS is the clear winner to me... yes a bit lackluster in app development but it is moving along..

ANyway why no mention of Webos development.. obviously I'm ignorant in development otherwise I'd give it a stab. Webos is slick and would be fantastic on a screen this size.. plus flash 10.1... I'm sure anyone out there who owned/own a pre would agree . right? I still have mine.. just in case.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] untrueparadox:
almost impossible. with nothing of webos to work from previously, you have to port everything, i mean everything, to a new platform and write new drivers from scratch. lots of work there, not saying it cant be done, but i think its very unlikely.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tri0xinn:
Yeah.. figured probably not too easy..

If Palm and Webos doesn't get scrapped.. maybe HTC will make a device for them.. only reason why I was really looking forward to the HD2 was the hardware. Or maybe the Palm Pre 2 will have a larger display.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tri0xinn:
You know I was just thinking.. A webos theme shouldn't be too difficult... just a reorganization of the sense ui could work.. probably the most difficult apsect could be the swipes for closing cards/applications. It wouldn't have to look identical.. just a similar interface. If it was similar I could imagine it being very popular. Any developers familiar with Webos think this is feasible?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] diegos.s:
nonsense

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerhoyet:
I'm not really sure how VPN works, but I managed to get access to my Windows 7 PC using an app from the market and RealVPN.

I'm just curious if I can do it the other way around. Access my N1 from my computer using OpenVPN (which from my understanding is included in CM)?

Any help would be awesome :-]
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phattchumpy:
Do you mean that you installed RealVNC on your windows machine? It sounds like you're asking about vnc and not vpn.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
i think he means VNC :)

No problem, if your Nexus One is rooted, simply download "droid VNC serve" from Market, it's free, and it starts a VNC server on your phone so you can connect to it on your laptop.
[HD2 General] guney:
I'm pretty sure the answer to this is implied or even obvious to some of you out there from the technical specs scattered around this website (and others) on the different flavors of HD2, but I'm unable to reach a conclusive conclusion on my own, so I'll simply plead ignorance and ask it outright:

If I buy a US T-Mobile and attempt to use it on the AT&T network with my 3G AT&T SIM card, which of the following will happen, to the best of your knowledge?:

It won't work at all.

It will work, but only for EDGE access.

It will work as a 3G phone just fine.
[HD2 General] blakkheartt12:
It will work on At&t, but GSM only, meaning only voice and edge. You will not be able to get 3G, no matter what rom or radio you flash.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Yep, the above is correct. It will work on Edge only. However, do note that the phone would have to be unlocked first. If you just switch the SIM cards it will not work
[HD2 General] Titicaca:
currently, it won't work at all.

No one has reported to unlock this beast successfully.
[HD2 General] guney:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll stay away from this experiment then.
[HD2 General] eastside770:
ive got mines unlock and im loving it despite the t-mo brand at the top other then that im loving it.im only egde but it really doesnt matter.
[HD2 General] methodz:
buy the telstra hd2, it will work on att 3G
[HD2 General] nemets:
How/where did you do that?
[HD2 General] bearlo:
I successfully unlocked my T-Mobile HD2 yesterday (to switch back to AT&T) after visiting the following site: htccode.com

It'll cost about 25 Euros to get unlocked... Also, the support person is pretty responsive.
[HD2 General] dipaolnv:
In looking at the band frequencies for the HD2, it appears that you may be able to set it up for AT&T's flavor of 3G. Is this correct?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no, you are confusing gsm bands and umts bands. tmo us won't do 3g on at&t
[HD2 General] dipaolnv:
Yeah, the GSM(1900+850) in the band frequencies threw me off. I thought that was what AT&T used for 3G. Doesn't matter to me, I'm on T-Mobile anyway... and I keep my 3G off most of the time for battery conservation, lol.
[HD2 General] blakkheartt12:
Hello,

Does anyone know how to enable the T-mobile US bands to appear in the band selection screen. I see the normal GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900), GSM(1900+850), & UMTS(2100+900). I want to be able to select UMTS(1700+2100). Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Sorry to ask the obvious question, but are you using a USA TMobile HD2? (The European version will not be able to do this since its radio doesn't support it)
[HD2 General] blakkheartt12:
Yes I am using the US t-mobile HD2.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
im guessing you have flashed a different rom? don't worry about it.the hardware will use the correct 850 even though it says 900 mm.
[HD2 General] tri0xinn:
This is just a heads up to potential on the fence buyers of the HD2. I switched from Sprint... Had Palm pre. I've owned Winmo devices in the past.. Diamond and Vogue..those took patience and thought the screen size and capacitive touch of the HD2 would really make up for Winmo's annoyances. Not quite. The Hardware is a thing of beauty and like the reviews say HTC Sense is great but Winmo's ugly, annoying and unhelpful face comes through alot of the time.. at least as I use it. Winmo 7 non upgradable really wasn't an issue to me before but now I'm having a bit of buyers remorse.. it's a good thing the hardware should always be worth the $200 contract break.

Don't get me too wrong I feel ok about the phone.. it does what I want it to... but hand it to your average non tech'ish human and their initial intrigue and interest will 10 seconds later become "uh oh , what did I press?"
[HD2 General] wiggindude:
My problem with this phone is that it keeps locking up and freezing on me. And I haven't done any calling, texting. All I did was trying to transfer music over and the damn thing locks up all the time. My co-worker warned me about WinMo but I didn't believe him, now I do.
[HD2 General] petvas:
Is this your first Windows Mobile phone? Coming from the Pre you will have to change some habits when using the phone because it works completely differently. I know because I too had a Pre...

Windows Mobile is really for power users that know what they are doing. If you customize it to your needs you will see that it works very well. The out of the box experience could be much better though...HTC has done a great job hiding a lot of Windows Mobile's annoyances.

Having said all that, I love my HD2 and Windows Mobile! I believe that the OS is the best choice for people that know what they are doing.
[HD2 General] petvas:
How do you transfer your music? Do you use the device at the same time?

Do you copy it on a storage card?
[HD2 General] wiggindude:
I got the instruction from member nessqn. Go here.
[HD2 General] umiss:
the only time my phone locked was when I installed an app that wasn't fully compatible.. Other than that it has never froze or locked and I've been using mine since it was released!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, he's right. The hundreds of thousands of very happy users on this site are all wrong.

I just had a look at that and have to disagree. I have my mp3 files (ALL mp3 - no derivation from that) in a folder structure on an external harddrive that is Music\Artist\Album\nn Song Title.mp3

I literally just copy the folder structure onto my storage card, but I never use ActiveSync for this. ALWAYS connect your phone as a USB drive. It's faster and more stable, and not really what ActiveSync is for.

Just a bit of advice :)
[HD2 General] wiggindude:
I don't think he meant that WinMo sucks just that it has issues with locks up and freezes. Yesterday when my cousin came over and I was trying to put music on the phone, after it was done, I wasn't able to let him play with the phone because it was so damn laggy, I was kinda embarrassed and told him I am still trying to set it up.
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
Haven't seen anyone one post about this topic.. but.. this is regarding the TMOUS Version that was just released a couple days ago...

Do the new users of that phone have to download these fixes? i ask because, i'm assuming that since they had some extra time for our version of the release.. that they would already implement these hot fixes into the phone.. anyone??

i also haven't seen/read any TMOUS user talking about these hotfixes nor the issues.. so perhaps maybe its something i should just ignore?
[HD2 General] lquigley:
Fixes?

If you have problems, check it out, If it's not broke? Why do anything?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mike390:
Ive been using villian 3.4 for a while now and have gotten it just the way i like it, i really want to move to 4.0 but i just find it so time consuming to install all the apps and change all the settings and add accounts etc, is there a backup program that will basically transfer everything over ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] silvake:
Try Titanium Backup, donate version.

Install it from the market and make a batch backup of all user apps + system data.

Then reboot into recovery and make sure you don't forget to perform a nandroid backup (to be able to revert in case something goes wrong).

Now you can install the new ROM and then use Titanium Backup again, this time to restore apps, settings, market entries, the works...

Good luck!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] knightnz:
I've noticed that the Sprint/CDMA guys have got some custom status bar icons going on, could these be ported over to the GSM Hero? The 6-bar signal meter looks pretty good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] naenee:
Since it is just graphics and tied to the same input, it would not be any more accurate. In fact, since 6 can not be divided by 4 and leave you with a whole bar, would it round up, or down - with 1 signal strength with a 4-bar display, would it show 2 or 1 bar on 6 and be less accurate as a result?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] herman3101:
I could be wrong but surely the signal bars get their strength info in the form of a percentage (the exact dbm can be viewed in settings), therefore 6 bars would be more accurate and have less of a rounding error than 4.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] naenee:
Ah, I see. Then a radial display would be even more accurate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pulser_g2:
IMHO, it all just depends on how many 'images' there are to display. If you only have 6 segments in a display, then it's accurate to (100/6)% = 16%. ie. you could be at -69.5dB, but as that is literally only just above -70dB (bearing in mind the logarithmic scale), you have a false perception of signal strength, as it's really weaker than you think...

Ideally, a numerical percentage indicator would be great, although impractical and the number of pngs needed silly, and I don't even know if you can have a 100-bar signal meter, with each 'bar' image just being a different number...

Food for thought for someone maybe???
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] developing:
I've actually wanted a signal strength meter with more precision than just bars; a percentage measure in the notifications bar would be perfect, but it does seem a bit unwieldy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] MentalDeath:
I like the idea it sounds neat
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ian_4614:
I agree,, a percentage meter would be worth paying for...
