Hey I'm an aggie too! Nice... Took a few semesters off though. Was in company B1 in the corps. My old buddies are going to be the Corps guys on the field for the Texas v Texas A&M game this year ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Awesome! I was in the Corps too (class of '06) and in the Aggie Band. I was in A Company. I was in it for the full four years, but I never actually graduated from A&M (I have my Aggie Ring though). I joined the Army National Guard and took a few years off for army training and deploying to Iraq. Now I'm trying to finish up my degree at an online college.

BTW, I have the download notifications displaying properly now. Here's a screenshot to give you an idea of my progress.

Now I need to find the values for the text under those toggle buttons and for the regular notifications. Does anyone know where I can find them?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
First let me just say thanks for the great mod Mr_Tricorder!

I seem to be having the same problem as mkearney, it won't let me revert back to stock. Tried a few times with debugging mode on and off, same result either way... It hangs at "Installing update...".
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I don't suppose you made a nandroid backup before applying the theme in case something like this happened, did you? ;)

Anyway, I don't know what to tell you since I haven't had any such problems.

EDIT: More progress today on the theme. I figured out how to change the text for the pull-down notifications. Should I make it all white, or just leave it like this with the bold blue text changed to white? I'm still trying to figure out how to change the color of the text underneath those toggle buttons to match my recolored icons. Once I figure that out, I'll post a new release. Any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
this must be how it feels when people that use my Swype themes see me post updates on my progress :D

sweet, its looking good so far man :cool:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
I tried to but it didn't take apparently (still new at this).

Anyway, I love the theme so it really doesn't matter... just wanted the "ability" to go back to stock if i wanted.

Looking forward to your next update.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Ouch, I've run into corrupted nandroid backups before. Not fun.

My next release is almost ready. I just need to find those pesky hex values for the text color of the toggle labels. I've hit a dead end on my search for that, so I've started work on some things I want to try out for the release after next.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I was planning on saving this for the release after next, but learning how to edit these .9 images properly was easier than I thought. I've replaced the blue popups with dark grey ones. Is this good for everyone, or should it be darker/completely black?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wazmoo:
make it completely black..looks better!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] monnietron:
I agree!!

Sent from my VIBRANT
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I think you may be right. It does look better this way. Don't worry, I'm taking care of that ugly grey circle around that icon at the top of the dialog box right now.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
Wow...looking amazing! +2 on all black.

Lovellkid
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] skater991:
???

ok so where is the new metamorph?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I still can't find those pesky values for the text color on the toggle buttons. Should I go ahead and release without it? I have no idea how long it will be until I actually find them.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonnybueno:
Closest I've come to figuring out that pesky text color is this

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="52.5dip" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<TextView android:textSize="14.659973dip" android:typeface="sans" android:textStyle="normal" android:textColor="@color/tw_color001" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/quickpanel_wifi_btn" android:background="@null" android:paddingTop="10.0dip" android:paddingBottom="9.599976dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/indicator_wifi" android:drawableTop="@drawable/quick_panel_icon_wifi_off" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

from statusbar_expanded.xml in twframework-res.apk

I can see that this xml should by all means control the white text because when i look in values/colors.xml i see this:

<color name="tw_color001">#ffffffff</color>

But i haven't been able to find any xml that controls the "on" state for the toggle buttons.

Keep in mind that i'm a noob when it comes to android, so I may have overlooked something. Maybe this will help you?!?

I keep secretly hoping that CM comes out soon so i don't have to deal with twframework anymore...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Yall doing more than anyone else... I gave up on tw weeks ago..

At first I thought "lets give something to the people that want to stay stock" but I don't care anymore... Its a headache..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Styles91:
I am having ther same issue! I have loaded the Black theme 10 times, because I love the way it looks, but everytime I do, my market and even using appbrain forceclose whenever i try to download any apps. I Nandroid back to before install and it works fine! If anyone can help, I would so appreciate it!

Thank you
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] skater991:
Have you looked into the way cm6 edits the values?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Go to settings, applications, manage apps, market, uninstall updates...

Haven't had this issue on vibrant but the hero was bad at this...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I haven't had this issue at all while testing my theme. It does take me to the Market terms and conditions page the first time I access the Market after flashing though, but after that everything seems fine.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Same here... Haven't seen this issue from any morphs on the vibrant...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] o2ak:
it wouldn't install for me at first but then i did the usb debugging thing and plugged in the phone, as someone earlier posted, and then it worked no prob. looks sooo nice. i have that set up with adw with a white skin. looks classy. lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I still can't even get this far. I must be more of a noob than you at this.

EDIT: It looks like the color for the "on" state is ff0074cc. I haven't been able to find it in any xml files yet though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Check OP for new version.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Reyland:
please post a link to get the old version,i flash this update and the pull down notifications panel does not look like the screenshot in the first page of this post,its ugly as hell and i dont think its the way it should look,so i think somethings wrong!

(i flash the new firmware and i dont know if thats the problem)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wazmoo:
I just flash the update and it looks fine..... it's probably the new firmware.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bummrusha:
Love this theme :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Reyland:
This is how it looks now!but the old version didnt give me problems at all with the new firmware and i can not use the black to stock zip because give me a lots of FC.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
What's going on with it? Can you post a screenshot to show what's wrong.

EDIT: Thanks for sharing the screenshot. It looks like those are .9 pngs that have had their formatting stripped out to make them regular pngs. Those icons aren't included in my theme, so I don't know how that happened. Also, it looks like the new firmware you're using uses different graphics for the toggle button background, so my theme obviously won't change it.

I probably should add this to the OP. This theme may not work with custom ROMs. I'm almost certain it won't work with CM once it's out for the Vibrant, but I plan on making a CM-compatible version when the time comes.

For the record. I run a deodexed stock rom (rooted, of course) and test my themes on my phone and my wife's phone (with her permission). Her phone is stock rooted and she is using a custom font, and I have had no problems with font compatibility on her phone. Before releasing, I revert my theme to stock using the zip file I posted and then apply the theme again just to make sure everything goes relatively smoothly. Other than the occasional soft-reboot issues (directly related to MetaMorph messing with framework-res.apk. No way to get around that), the only problems I have had is sometimes the theme doesn't apply all elements (re-applying them through MetaMorph has always fixed this for me) and making me go to the Market terms of service page the first time I try to access the Market after applying the theme (and one time signed me out of Google services altogether), but those are minor one-time annoyances. Also, I changed the order in which MetaMorph applies the different elements of my theme now so that it saves framework-res for last. This should help with applying all elements of the theme the first time so you don't have to go through MetaMorph twice like many people did with my old version.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Reyland:
this how it looks mine,and i cant use the revert to stock zip because give me forecloses!old version didnt give me problems at all!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Reyland:
sorry,im using i vibrant,i post a screenshot!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
It looks like you were posting while I was posting. Scroll up to see the changes I made in my previous post.

Here's the old version.

I'm afraid you're on your own for reverting back to stock. My black-to-stock reversion themes contain the full framework-res and twframework-res packages and will most certainly give you FCs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Reyland:
Thats what i want,i thing im gonna have to revert to the old firmware,thats a shame because this new one gave me 2191 score in quadrant just with the lag fix!and your old version didnt gave me this problem!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I just edited my last post. Scroll up to download my old version.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Reyland:
thanks man!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] christpuncher:
i'm on the black gloss currently. would i be ok just morphing this one right on top?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Not sure since I haven't tried it myself. If the black gloss theme changes anything that I don't change in mine, then those changes would probably still be left over.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] monnietron:
Any hope of getting a 1.2? Love this theme!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Samcrow:
name of .png

M_Tricorder,

What is the name of the .png or 9.png file for the thin white divider line in the OP on the notification pull down? I would like to change it to a different color, just need help finding the name. Thanks. Great theme btw!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Not sure. It's one of the files that I didn't bother messing with, so the white divider is part of the stock theme. I'm pretty sure it's in twframework-res in the black-to-stock zip file I have posted if you want to look for it.

As for a possible 1.2, I haven't really been doing any work on this recently, mainly because I'm hoping for the updated stock ROM and/or CM 6.1 for the Vibrant to officially hit.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] skater991:
b-help!

HEY tri-C could you by chance create your all black but with a bettery percentage? i love your theme and want to keep it but want to see what the level is on the battery
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
If I knew how to do it, it would definitely be in there. That's one of the things I miss from my old G1 running CyanogenMod. Unfortunately, I still have a lot to learn, and I haven't really been messing around with it too much since an update to the stock ROM SHOULD be dropping any day now (hopefully), assuming Samsung and T-Mobile don't go back on what they said or hinted at for when to expect an update.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nemesis000000:
im stuck...

after applying and rebooting now i get com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again, i can hit force close but it doesn't go away, it keeps coming back so now i'm stuck in a vicious cycle... grrrr

help?!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Did you make a nandroid backup first?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] floepie:
All you have to do is install one of those many battery mods on these boards. Then, simply delete the 14 PNGs in the extracted MM Zip relating to the battery and apply this morph.

HTH.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] starkiller86:
I applied this morph and now Market will not open properly. It just stays on the Android Market terms of service, plain white screen, then get a server unavailable. Browser would not connect to anything after the morph either. Connected with with wifi and it worked, I tried with 3g again and nothing could connect. Restored with nandroid to before. I had full 3G but could not get a data connection to lock at all after rebooting several times. Now my device will show 3G but cannot connect, refresh or update anything...help??

EDIT:

I have restarted several times already and uninstalled busybox and metamorph. I can see I have a 3G connection as normal, but can't connect to anything...this didn't mess with the radio/kernel by any chance did it?? Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated..

Update:

I was about to do a install of a stock rom through clockwork when my roommate got home who also has an android device with t-mobile. I asked him to check his connection and it turns it out its the location/tower we are on. Went out with my roomates across town and 3G worked perfectly..problem solved..carrier issue.

One last question...I got the all black theme working nice (awesome I might add), but I was wondering how do I get the black themed market morph added on? I get an error when I try to load it.

"the theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing, or is not correctly written (contact theme creator)"
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] floepie:
Tricorder, great job on the morph. I've encountered one notification, Dropbox's notification that I successfully uploaded a gallery photo, whose text is black, and therefore, illegible. Is there another XML that needs to be modified in addition to those that you have already modified? Or, would that be something hard-coded in Dropbox itself? FWIW, I haven't encountered any other notifications with black text, but then again, I don't run too many apps either.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I haven't ever messed with the black themed market morph, so I can't help you there.

I've noticed this too (and also in a few other apps like Pandora). I haven't really looked into it, but I assume that it has to do with the Dropbox app itself. Some apps use their own values for notifications instead of using the ones from the system files. I don't plan on modifying individual apps since that would be opening up a can of worms that I would rather not get into.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Salithox:
great work.

I just wanted to say great work on the all black, i really like it. and its making me play around more with trying to learn how to make my own morphs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] 2girls1cup:
I tried this with Frank Twiz Final, cannot get the notification dropdown to theme correctly. Tried 3 times. Will try to revert back to stock and start over.

EDIT: just started fresh from stock. Then flashed the twframework-res.apk only. then rebooted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ELStiko:
great theme!!

I got it to work and it now matches everything on my phone. dark and sleek!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
mine looks like this now too after flashing the OTA update

tried to use the zip to go back to stock and FC city. phone is unusable and i didn't do a backup before applying the theme. whoops.

tried to reapply the odin file for the ota update and had some trouble (probably bc i had usb debugging enabled, which i couldn't turn off bc of the FC's). now all i get when attempting to do anything with the phone is an image with a phone, an exclamation point, and a pc.

Took a few tries but got it back to previous state with odin. be careful if you have the ota update.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] camalot:
can you post the twframework-res.apk from /system/framework? that is where the problem is at. i am using a mix of this theme, the evo theme and "stock aosp theme"
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Michaelr219:
Mr Tricorder...

could you post an updated status_epanded.xml for the new ji6/ji7 rom...

it is incompatible :(

ive searched so i can do it myself... but havent found the right direction... i dont really know hex or how to decompile/recompile...

the most complicated thing i can do really is .9 pngs lol

please help.. and thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] camalot:
There is a tool called APK manager, I think it decodes the binary xml files, and stuff like that... i am going to see if i can figure it out too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Sorry I haven't been doing any theme development in a while. I just made a JI6-compatible version today that I'm trying out with Bionix 1.7. Once I'm satisfied with it, I'll have it up on the OP for download (most likely tomorrow).
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Michaelr219:
awesome!!!!!!

thx kindly bro, we all love your work
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Just released an updated version for JI6-based firmware. It is identical in appearance to version 1.1, which is still available for JFD-based firmware.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
so for some reason after applying the updated version 1.2 when receiving a notification the background of the notification area (the strip with said notification across the notification bar) still has the default appearance. anyone else having this or do i need to reapply the theme?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Michaelr219:
yeah, i noticed that too... and two other things

1. the music player notification has blueish text instead of white

2. and the download bar is still green

these are all things i can live with considering that this is still one of the cleanest themes among these threads, but maybe we will see diff results in 1.3 :)

thanks again tri_corder
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
hey tricorder, i really appreciate your work. 1.3 would be even more appreciated if you have time!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] negativedrew:
Hey Mr Tricorder. I love this theme, but I've been modifying it to work with some other stuff and maybe you or someone else can help me.

I like using this transparent/Flyers status_bar_background that I made. I edited the quickpanel images in the theme to stretch all the way across, and now that part looks fine but I'm still left with that thin grey area (which is using the status_bar_background on top of grey again, for some reason. it's the same issue with the repeating droid images in the droid in notification background thread)

Does anyone know what image to edit to connect the black between the quickpanel top and the T-Mobile line? Can it even be done?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about. Can you post a screenshot?

1. I'll see about it. I don't really use the music controls that much though, so I really haven't been focusing that much on them.

2. I like the green download bar. What color would you rather have it?

I'm really glad to see that you're modifying my theme to suit your personal tastes. I would much rather see more people do this than read requests for specific changes that may not mesh with my personal tastes. As for your question though, I don't know off the top of my head which file is responsible for that grey line. I see no such line on my phone, so I assume it is one of the separators in the twframework-res folder that I changed to all black. I could be wrong though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Michaelr219:
white :)

im actually doing a lot of framework edits to come up with a theme that has a few flavors... it is a combination of some of the work already here on xda...

i just havent figured out .xml

other than that... i can do it all, ive tried to find literature to learn, but no luck soo far.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] negativedrew:
Yeah I dunno. It's not actually a gray file. Whatever it is, it's transparent. I don't think it's a thin file at all, I think it's the lack of a file. I wonder if making quick_top longer would do it or if it would cause problems. I suppose I could nandroid and find out myself haha. I don't actually have anything to edit layout.xml with, but do you know if there's something in there that sets where the t-mobile line starts? If it could be edited to start right at the bottom of the quick_top file, it would work. If that's the case maybe I need a hex editor or something.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] negativedrew:
Ok, I tried it. I added 30 pixels to the length of tw_quick_panel_top.

It didn't break anything but it didn't solve it either. It just moved that transparent part down 30 pixels. You can see a little bit lower of the background there now. (why is the bg in there twice anyway!? Haha). So I'll take another look at the files and see if there's a transparency somewhere I missed, otherwise I dunno

EDIT: I was looking around in a stock pull of tw-framework and I noticed that the original status_bar_background (aka the gray stock background) only has a height of 13 pixels, so I'm guessing the layout is set to stick a copy of the "background" in there. So now I know that the "background," at least in stock tw-framework is just another divider. But because of that, it means that layout.xml would need to be edited to remove that instance of the framework using the background, and I have no idea how to do that.

Sorry to use this thread as think tank, I just loved your theme and wanted my flyers background in there too ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
I've since applied a different theme and then went back to yours which caused the notification area to be even a little more wonky. the image shows what it looked like with yours its just now the text anmd background are different colors (not caused by allblack 1.2).

to be more clear, allblack has a strip across the dropdown shade with the default appearance. the image below shows what area of the shade i'm talking about, although looks slighely different because of the additional theme i applied.
