[Captivate Themes and Apps] malfuncion:
To be honest I have never used metamorph on the Captivate. On my G1 yes you could acheive that. I googled the metamorph tutorial Junkdruggler did and it looks rather lengthy and involved editing XML files. You can find that info here. Also, the files you would need to do my way with just a blank one are above. Just download the closebars zip and the "blank" zip. Then mod/inject your APK - or hell mine from above- and push it to your device. This is a rather quick ordeal.

Thanks guys, took me a little while to figure it all out and a lot of framework pushing to get it just right :) Let me know how it turns out for you! Hell post some screenshots when you are done. I want to see them :)

THIS IS HOW TO SAVE YOURSELF :)

Well, not sure what you mean "usual errors" with framework change? I havent ever had any issues with the framework replacements. I occasionally have then crash if I replace them while phone is on and not in recovery. A reboot fixes this though. Are you using a Cap rom or an I9000? This doesnt work on I9000 roms as thier APK's are slightly different- teh HDPI folder has a v4 at the end (IIRC). I can help you through this though if that's the case..

If it truly is a cap rom, I did experience a similar problem on my phone one time when I pushed the framework.apk. What had happened is I right-clicked the ROOT directory I had placed all the files in and said to zip it. This caused the folder to be INSIDE the zip. So the file structure went like this:

>>ZIP FILE I CREATED>>

--------->>FOLDER ALL FILES WERE IN>>

------------------>>FILE STRUCTURE OF THE ORIGINAL APK>>

Which should have been

>>ZIP FILE I CREATED>>

--------->>FILE STRUCTURE OF ORIGINAL APK>>

To better explain it- If you open the zip you created, do you see the RES folder, META-INF folder, assets folder, and then there will be 2 other files? Or do you see 1 single folder? If you see 1 single folder you zipped it up incorrectly. You will need to go into the folder and select all-> right click-> zip (send to-> compressed folder). This should fix it. If this isnt the case something else went horribly wrong. To fix it we will need to restore the original files you hopefully backed up. If you didnt back up you still arent totally hosed- just redownload the ROM you are running, open it up and navigate to the /system/framework folder and pull out the original frameworks. Then follow these instructions to get them back on the device.

Step 1:

A quick way to get out of this situation is to take the copies rename them back to twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk (or pull from the original rom package as mentioned above).

Hopefully you have the 2e recovery kernel, as you need it to get back to where you started. If you cant do clockwork, well you may as well odin cause you are a few flashes behind anyway.

K, so first you will need to download the update.zip I have included with this post. This is the clockwork recovery file. You will next need to put your phone in reocvery mode. to do this do:

adb reboot recovery

Step 2:

Next you will need push that file you downloaded to your SD. to do that you need to:

adb push <location of downloaded>\update.zip /sdcard/

Now, once in recovery- tell it to reinstall packages. This may reboot the phone. If it does, tell it to reinstall packages again. This should get you to clockwork recovery.

Step 3:

once you have a green clockwork recovery screen, you will get the chance to SU via ADB SHELL. You can then repeat the pushing of your ORIGINAL fles back to your phone and retry the process.

You could also pull the files you pushed to see what went wrong- but do that first as if you push before they will be overwritten with the original files.
