no need to apologize. i never took the time to learn metamorph files though im sure its quite easy. i've always made themes the old fashioned way because that's how i learned/progressed. also it is much faster to boot a flashable theme in recovery, while metamorph can take a long time doing individual steps for each themed apk aside from the framework. like JAguirre1231 suggested, you might want to work on the WHOLE theme to progress faster- don't waste your time giving links to the tiny updates- people are just gonna ask more and more random questions and make this thread bigger than it needs to be. the whole point is to start/finish this. you took initiative so i thank you on that; if you hadn't done so, who knows how long it would just remain a WIP thread. if you need help on finding things or trouble with certain images, feel free to PM me. anyone else interested in joining in....read up on themes- it's very interesting especially if you have a creative side. the guys here have posted many helpful pieces of information. if you ask, people will also guide you to where you need to go. plus, it is not only beneficial to you as an xda member, but it benefits others down the road. it's a process of giving and receiving help from each other, which is what xda supposedly is all about.

ps: if you're feeling blah/down or some xda member has flamed your a$$ recently, here's a good song to cheer you up ;)..........GOOD LIFE by ONE REPUBLIC.
[Android Themes] LBTaylor1984:
If your still working on this, and need help with compiling this with a ROM i'll happily help, i'm pretty good with PSD, and i've got my head round APK, and ROMs, signing off apks so perhaps we can CO-OP and build this onto the Nexus or the Desire?

PM if you like :D

Excellent Theme dude.
[Android Themes] newone757:
I could do this no problems, just havent had any luck signing apk's on ubuntu
[Android Themes] chancellorr:
Non of the MM's are working for me. I'm running ErisLightningBold 2.7
[Android Themes] opasha:
ok do what you can to help...and then upload your work, ill sign it for you and send it back to you no problem. i'm really starting to like all of you guys stepping up to the plate. this could just be the first community theme effort in a while :).

i myself am gonna work on the notification screen pull down to get it as close to that look as possible.
[Android Themes] LBTaylor1984:
do we have a list of whats being done at the moment?

perhaps we can all work on different bits and brings it together?

to share the workload I can sign with opasha to make sure the load is spread :)
[Android Themes] danwguy:
Sorry that was my mistake, for some reason the xml wasn't working right. here is a fixed one, I had to use a .thm file from another icon pack, change it to xml, and add the elegant steel icons and styles as of thus far. sorry for the mistake. does anyone want me to continue on with the MM version of this theme or are you guys only concerned with a flashable version of this?
[Android Themes] MilkPudding:
Whatever that's easier and works for you. :D Thanks a lot for trying to make the theme become reality.
[Android Themes] Ruff.005:
Can I use it in my spica??
[Android Themes] danwguy:
not 100% sure, if you are running CM5.0.8 it should work. it has all of the mdpi images so it might work... I would say nandroid backup then apply using metamorph
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Here's the camera themed with the images we were given. If we have an idea of what the selected and pressed colors are I will finish up the rest of it:

jbthemes.com/teamfuckwad/Camera.zip

CM-5.0.8-D/sS

It includes the images I used, the uncompiled .9.png's and the Camera.apk for easy pushing.
[Android Themes] Chevelle1768:
Just tried this on my Eris. Works just fine. The camcorder looks right, but the camera does not. You can see the black sides on it. Can you fix that? Or make the camera preview the same as the camcorder preview?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
It's all well on my Dream/G1 here. I'll see if I can help you once my main machine stops being full of liquids :P
[Android Themes] Infinite76:
Is this still in beta or is the metamorph available ?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
This is still in "WIP" phase.
[Android Themes] danwguy:
new version

Just finished a whole bunch of images in the framework-res folder so here is the update to get the status bar and notification bar, comes with all the work ive done up to this point as well. Only thing is on the notification area I had to change it around a little because I couldnt find the right image to theme the sub header background. hope you enjoy. and for those who don't know this is for metamorph and CM5.0.8 if that matters at all. I am still working on this theme and hope to have the full theme done soon. if anyone has any icon requests feel free to post them and I will work on getting them in there. one quick question if I may.... where are apk's stored/saved when you download from the market? need this tidbit of info so I can properly theme the market icons as well... thank you.
[Android Themes] chancellorr:
Again, not working for me. :/
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
He has the files one directory too deep, here is a fixed one.

jbthemes.com/teamfuckwad/eleganceicons_1.1.zip
[Android Themes] sawah:
I believe they are stored in data/app. Always looking for engadget and facebook icons, pandora etc :D
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
As you're downloading them they are stored on /cache as donload-file#.apk.

When done downloading they are stored in either

/data/app/

/data/app-private/

/sd-ext/app/

/sd-ext/app-private/

If they have files in the -private,you DON'T want to touch them. If you plan on theming these market apps, you'll have to move them to /system as market files must be signed with the develoers unique signature.
[Android Themes] danwguy:
So I wouldn't be able to just change the directory in the XML to data/app instead of system/app.?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
No as metamorph uses that to find the application. you'll have to do it from your phone, pull the files then use MM's copy ability to copy thos apps to /system/app/, just remember, we don't have very much space free on /system.
[Android Themes] MasDroid:
I would love to have this theme working on the Desire but MM does not work as it requires system write access while the phone is on, the Desire only has system write access while in recovery mode :(
[Android Themes] bastards:
You can not modify apks in /data/app that way, because you're not in possession of the key used to sign the apk.
[Android Themes] lele5800:
hi ,this theme is wonderfull..i like the font, can you post it or send it to me? please....

Thank You!
[Android Themes] crowstar:
I think its mdpi, so it wont work on the nexus or desire.

True?
[Android Themes] jackiechan8:
Could you do the hsdpa and gprs and edge icons in the notification bar also? You know the "H" "G" and "E". Also after chanching the pngs to framework-res.apk I lost the operatot name in the notification dropdown. Don't know why really :D

Oh and the clock color is still black, but I guess it's controlled by framework.jar?

And what's the font used in the pictures?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
That's because black on black doesn't do too well. Use spare parts.

Use spare parts. (And p.s., it's services.jar ;))

Comfortaa
[Android Themes] jackiechan8:
Well can't use spare parts because I'm not on CM. I just changed the pngs to my framework-res.apk manually and flashed that. I would modify the services.jar myself but don't know how to do that. (Can't even open the file)
[Android Themes] niscrome:
Have you tried spare parts by android apps in the market. I haven't tried it myself because...well I have CM.
[Android Themes] jackiechan8:
Yes I've tried that. It doesn't have the option to change the clock color. And the spare parts from CM doesn't work (ie it doesn't have any effect). Well I guess I'll ask help from the themers at samdroid.net :D
[Android Themes] sauudmir:
so much work you guys are doing on this theme... when i saw it i thought it could never b completed but now i'm having hope day by day that i'll see this finish up soon enough :)

i can't be of any help in this section cuz i don't knw anything abt theme building...

but keep it going guys ... cheers :)
[Android Themes] MilkPudding:
It's Comfortaa. Search the forum, I believe someone has made a MM file for it.
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Just found out about this mind-blowing theme! :) This is what Android 3.0 should look like. Maybe the Android 3.0 UI team should take a look at this!

Can't wait for the Nexus 1 version to come out!

I'm new to Android world otherwise I would lend a hand as I was a Blackberry theme dev.
[Android Themes] sauudmir:
is this theme completed?

i thought its still in progress
[Android Themes] AndroidFiend:
wow this theme is just pure beauty, great job! i hope you're successful in porting this.
[Android Themes] r0ark:
I installed the comfortaa font on my Nexus One (rooted Froyo FRF91) as linked in this thread and everything is working fine except for that it's a notch smaller than I would like. Can someone please point me to how I can make it a notch or two larger on the Nexus One? It's amazing that Google does not allow for the system fonts to be resizable. Thank you.
[Android Themes] r4mios:
If U have root, just install spare parts, it allows you to change font size and more. Dunno if it will work on Froyo though
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Spare parts has an option to change font size but only in the app itself, not for the whole system. Well, I'm on Froyo, so that might be the problem.

Anyone else?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Sorry, I'm in a place where I'm lucky to get infrequent internet connection. I've been using some images of other's and my own to make this. (I also used a program from droidforums, don't have a link, sorry).
[Android Themes] opasha:
wow u finally got the transparency to work! how? was status_bar_item_app_background_normal.9 responsible for the reason why people could not see through the tabs? i know there were two images that needed to be edited for those tabs...the main ones obviously status_bar_item_background_normal.9, status_bar_item_background_pressed.9, status_bar_item_background_focus.9. if not, i assume you some how edited an xml to make it transparent? either way...great job bro!
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Can you please explain on how to get notification pull-down to be transparent?

Here is mine, wip.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
No, it was the program from DroidForums. It's a Transparency Patcher for FroYo. (It's a problem with the services.jar ;)). When I get to a place with a faster connection than 20kbps I'll get you a link (Hopefully tomorrow).

I wish I could get the exact line to change so I could add it to the source and just build the services with it already in.
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Why don't you ask the guy/gal who made the Transparency Patcher about the exact line that needs to be changed?
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Here is the link and it works! Nice find!

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
[Android Themes] MasDroid:
Once developed, would anyone know if it would be possible to port this theme to the Desire? Metamorph does not work with the Desire atm as it does not have full system write access, only system write access while the device is in Recovery Mode :(
[Android Themes] dica:
where can i get the done work or is it wip???:)
[Android Themes] MasDroid:
Still WIP
[Android Themes] newone757:
if anyone is making a HDPI version I have an Evo4g willing to test
[Android Themes] mythamp:
As I took inspiration from Jedipottsy's theme, here is a link to my mod based upon his design:

Thanks Jedipottsy
[Android Themes] Jedipottsy:
Hey guys, back from my holiday. I must say im really impressed with the work you guys have done, its great to see ports and mods of my work being used :)
[Android Themes] lakeside00:
im also intrested in knowing if there is a hdpi vesion planned
[Android Themes] BurnOmatic:
someone make one for the Sapphire 2.2 froyo :)
[Android Themes] Jedipottsy:
hdpi should be quite easy, scaling the psd with layer scaling should result in a near perfect image, icons need to be remade but the main items should work great.
[Android Themes] themapleboy:
so are people still working on this or should i give up hope? / put up or shut up and start learning to theme
[Android Themes] jasonngu1991:
looks good :)
[Android Themes] jcarrz1:
ugh... i'm not so happy. none of them have the statusbar icons (Battery, bars, etc) right yet... that seems pretty easy. I might try and make a metamorph...
[Android Themes] DelsaDj:
I'm workin on it :D for mdpi device :D
[Android Themes] jcarrz1:
Thanks. I love the status bar look in the op, and the clean colors and textures are perfect together, and must be unchanged.
[Android Themes] danwguy:
The metamorph I posted up has that status bar with those exact colors and icons. Has the battery, signal, usb, 3g, edge, and everything else.
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Here's what I've done so far. hdpi version for Nexus One. I've only messed with the status bar icons and notification area.

If you look closely, you'll see that I applied some style in Photoshop so the icons look like they are engraved or inset into the background. :)

I have a couple of questions.

1) Does anyone knows how to change the dialer or dialpad background in Contacts.apk? I spent a lot of time but no luck. I made some headway but gave up. I found out that you have to add a line in the "twelve_key_dialer.xml" file in /res/layout-finger. The code you add is "android:background="@drawable/custom_background_dialer" in the <LinearLayout ......> And then you add your background and name it "custom_background_dialer.png" in the /res/drawable-hdpi-finger but it DID NOT work for me! However, that's who it was done on Wysie's contacts mod 1.1.

2) Anyone knows of a font that would appear as if it's engraved or inset, like how it looks like in the "Notifications" or "Ongoing" text of the ElegantSteel OP?
[Android Themes] MasDroid:
Likewise - for the HTC Desire.
[Android Themes] jcarrz1:
wow I had no idea. I'd love to see this done. I'm on cm6 right now, i'll try this soon.
[Android Themes] newone757:
looking great
[Android Themes] nafnist:
This look amazing.

I hope to be able to test it in the very near future ;-)

[Android Themes] palomosan:
Noob question, how exactly you install this theme on your phone, is this a flash rom or something different, thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] MasDroid:
This theme has not been made into a flashable zip yet... only official .psd files are available.

To my understanding, it's still very much WIP.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfiestas:
Hello, I'm from Argentina and data connections aren't as cheep as elsewhere. So I use APNdroid to "connect and disconnect" my 3G apn. The connection itself works great after I turn on the phone. But if I use wifi on the N1 and then I turn off the wifi antena the 3G connection never comes back on, even if I don't use the APNdroid and leave it turned on during the wifi usage.

It's simple, 3G works, I use wifi, 3G stops working.

I have to reset the phone to get 3G back on.

Any info or thoughts about this issue? :confused:

I'm on eclair 2.1 EPE54B so there's no froyo update for me yet. Don't want to root it quite yet, it's way too new :p

Thank you in advance!

[Droid Incredible General] br125:
What exactly do I need to use adb in ubuntu 10.4

I cannot get anything to work and I'm not too familiar with linux.

I have the sdk downloaded and my terminal opened up to my tools directory, but I literally cannot figure out what I'm doing, no commands work and I can't even find my device (adb devices)

I have exclusively used windows for adb on my previous two phones, but I'm using ubuntu more and more so I would like to be able to use adb in it.
[Droid Incredible General] x.v_:
Easy.

cd /path/to/sdk/tools

./adb
[Droid Incredible General] mtxpert:
ADB doesn't recognize my incredible in 10.4 when I do ./adb devices it is blank.
[Droid Incredible General] mtxpert:
I've tried with the phone set to charge only and to disk drive.

I've tried following this:

a couple of topics concerning a rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d

I greated a 51-android.rules file and it looks like this now:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct} =="0ff9", MODE="0600", OWNER="mbambic"

I've restarted udev a few times and killed the adb server and done ./adb devices to restart it, no luck.
[Droid Incredible General] x.v_:
Do you guys have USB Debugging enabled?

Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging. MUST be checked.
[Droid Incredible General] br125:
yes, I've used adb numerous times on windows
[Droid Incredible General] x.v_:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

I'm no expert, but this is what I followed and my phone shows up in adb devices. :P
[Droid Incredible General] mtxpert:
OK, that was my bad with debugging not on.

Now I'm getting the following:

#./adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

????????????	no permissions

I've tried with and without the rules file I created in /etc/udev/rules.d called 51-android.ruleswith the following entries that has been chmod a+rx

version 1

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

or version 2

UBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct} =="0c9e", MODE="0600", OWNER="myusername"

or version 3

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

based on this info:

$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 022: ID 0bb4:0c9e High Tech Computer Corp.
[Droid Incredible General] mtxpert:
Got it:

edited the rules file:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", SYMLINK+="android_adb", ATTRS{idProduct} =="0c9e", MODE="0666"

Rebooted phone

Turned on disk drive

restarted udev

killed adb and started again
[Droid Incredible General] br125:
I keep getting no command 'adb' found when I try to type any command
[Droid Incredible General] abibibo:
Assuming you downloaded the sdk pack, your problem is that adb isn't in your path. Take a look at h t t p://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html. To just temporarily add it, at the shell prompt enter:

export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/tools

Also, you may have permission problems when running adb. The easiest way around this is to run adb as root, i.e.: sudo adb (but you'll also have to add adb to root's path then).
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
Ok, so you used both lines in your 51-android.rules file? Interesting, so you're making the driver specific to the DI? I've been operating with just the first line, which allows to use the DI and the G1, but then again, I've also been unsuccessful at rooting :D

In Linux Mint 9 x64 Isadora (much the same as Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx), I added the path command to my bashrc file in ~/user. Not sure how to make it global (prob would go somewhere in the mysterious&powerful /etc), but I'm the only user on my system, so for my purposes that doesn't matter :)
[G1 Apps and Games] techbeck:
Is there way to change the action buttons (left, right)? Right now they are set for my dialer and browser.

thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] techbeck:
I figured it out
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
For the people that haven't figured it out...

Long Press the Application to start Dragging of the application.

Drag it to the desired action button, and release.
[G1 Apps and Games] qbdx:
you can add an additional 6 shortcuts if you enable the dockbar in the UI settings, and then slide the home button up until you see a tiny black ^, then drag the additional icons into that area
[G1 Apps and Games] silvrhat7:
Hmm, this doesn't seem to be working for me. I installed the new CM5 w/ Darkstar theme. I'm dragging the icons onto the LAB and RAB spots on the toolbar below, but the icons just get deleted or it prompts me to uninstall the application.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
Long pressing in the Dock will remove it from the Dock. Nothing ive seen in ADWL prompts to uninstall an application.
[G1 Apps and Games] blas4me:
Stay open

You can uninstall by holding app over the nexus launcher, I just found that out about a week ago on youtube, and I'v have ADWL for a minute. You never stop learning!!!!!!:D[/QUOTE]
[G1 Apps and Games] blas4me:
Hope this helps

CM5 w/ Darkstar theme might not have the option to change icons for LAB,RAB might have to flash ADWL to get that option. Try one of his latest ADW.Launcher.0.7rc1_mdpi.zip, it's hot!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sloth3:
I know its still kinda soon and all but do you think that there will be something along the lines of this quick install for the pre for the evo soon?? I used to have it for my pre and I liked it a lot. I just think its an easier way to out themes and tweaks on your phone. Lets get some devs on this :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] dchamero:
AS far as I know, It does not exist, but it would be awesome.

I mean, I understand the ROM approach, and all is good, but is a little bit too much.... For instance, right now I have OMJ's rom that gives me anything I need, but, let's say, I want to add something.. like to edit the hosts file to avoid ads, I only have 2 options, either load another rom (and again wipe everything, restore from a backup, and manually tweak the data that was not backed up, like some edits inside contacts, quick dial, etc), or manually tweak the hosts file, but there is no software to help automate any tweaks like Quick Install.... (or patches or anything like that)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sloth3:
This is why we should make this a sticky and get people to make this happen. It would be so convenient and easy for the people that dont know what to do when it comes to the ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
agreeeed! quickinstall and preware...aww man bring back the memories....
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Can someone explain to me what this quick install thing is? Maybe I or one of my co devs can help make it happen
