It won't work if you do that. The folder in AndroidThemes has to be named exactly like what is read in the themes XML file and I doubt it's "gingerbread theme" lol. =]

[Android Themes] joenathane:
Good job Jadden! In addition you'll need to be rooted, if you aren't already.
[Android Themes] dEris:
I'd also recommend doing a nandroid prior as well.

[Android Themes] joenathane:
I took a look, it would seem there are a few elements that this theme won't theme on your phone because of your manufactures customizations, but you did get a lot of the gingerbread elements. It would take a bit of work to get the rest of the elements on your phone, some of the elements would have to be completely recreated... I might take a shot at it, but can't at the moment as my computer in disrepair as of right now, may be a week or so before I even have the capacity to work on it, my partition with my Photoshop install is dead...

Joe, Im using an App called Explorer, I couldnt find SUBFS in the android market and I dont have money to pay for Root Explorer, So im using explorer, it says I cannot copy and paste the build.prop over the old one because its a read-only file. How do I make it work?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Download this app from the market

"Mount /system (rw / ro)" open it and mount the system as r/w then use adb shell or a terminal emulator to copy the file over

su

cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

hella yeah it is!!! Number one missing feature from Photoshop is autosave, would be great if it had an autosave feature similar to Microsoft Office... although I haven't had it crash on me in while, but when it does, it sucks to lose hours worth of work that you forget to save...
[Android Themes] lube123:
i did what u said and it stays on applying themes for like 30 mins.. is this normal, if not what am i doing wrong
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Is your usb debugging turned on?
[Android Themes] lube123:
i need to be plugged into a usb? im using the metamorph appor whatever its called,
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Open settings> goto applications> go to development and turn on usb debugging

and then try to apply the theme again
[Android Themes] lube123:
hmm i tried that and still does the same thing :/
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
CS5 is the slowest and the must BS added to it, and nothing good! CS3 was the last good release! Nothing, I do mean NOTHING, has been added that was worth anything in CS4 or CS 5!

Prove me wrong!
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Make sure you are rooted, that you've downloaded and installed busybox(not just downloaded it, open it up and install it) and that you've given Metamorph superuser rights, open your superuser and make sure you haven't black listed metamorph...

Personally I love the content aware fill but check these videos out

http://tv.adobe.com/watch/photoshop-cs5-feature-tour/terry-whites-top-5-photoshop-cs5-features/

http://tnerd.com/2010/04/12/5-photoshop-cs5-features-that-will-turn-n00b-into-a-pro/

I do think that Adobe could do a better job with the upgrades but imo there isn't any program capable of touching Photoshops ease of use and feature set. I'll probably be sticking with CS5 for a long while, new features are nice but Photoshop isn't cheap...
[Android Themes] jadden:
Reboot and try again.

I use PS, for web, and I have seen little improvement and 99% more lag. I paid $1200 for my copy of PS, as my upgrade wouldn't work, so, I am not really happy with them!
[Android Themes] lube123:
rebooted, tried it, still dont work
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Can't say I disagree on any of those points, I think if Photoshop were cheaper less people would pirate it. Could be more bloated but I can't really tell, built my dream computer about a year ago... Core i7 920, 12GB Ram, Intel 80GB SSD boot drive, (2) 1TB drives in a RAID 0 for storage and programs and a Radeon HD 5770. Not much I can't throw at my PC that it doesn't run right through... Too few occasions where I can brag about all that present themselves :)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
What exactly happens? I might take a little while to apply, sometimes you might have to give it a good 5-10 minutes...
[Android Themes] boleminoga:
You are awsome, i will waiting for you work.

Thx for this.
[Android Themes] lube123:
it just stay applying for 20 mintes should i wait longer?
[Android Themes] jadden:
Do you have latest version of busybox installed? What did you install?

$ent from my bada$$ rooted a$cend
[Android Themes] joenathane:
No, 20 minutes is long enough... I'm not really sure what to tell you, It's worked for countless others, do you have any antivirus or task killers running? Try deleting the theme completely from your sdcard and re-downloading it, uninstall and reinstall metamorph and busybox(open the program and uninstall from there). Other than that all I can suggest is a flash back to stock because there has got to be something wrong with your phone...
[Android Themes] lube123:
it says busybox installs but id think it does
[Android Themes] lube123:
where can i get the metro stock rom?
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
I found that, if you have Busy box installed, that all you needed to do what set your phone to debugging!

Joe did a great job on this!
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Thanks for the support :D
[Android Themes] jadden:
Wait do you have Root Explorer
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
I did buy it! It is well worth it too!
[Android Themes] jadden:
Yes, it is a must have.But i was referring to Lube123.
[Android Themes] lube123:
yup i do have it. ...............
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
My Bad. SRY!
[Android Themes] jadden:
Open it up, go to Sdcard and check if there is asingle file called "Busybox".

NEVERMIND. It said on Huawei's website but after a call it was a lie.
[Android Themes] lube123:
yup there is :3. my gapps always force closes on start up. maybe i need the stock rom or gapps.apk for it too work ? Idk
[Android Themes] jadden:
IT might resolve the problem.
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
If you can afford $1200 photoshop, why do you have a cheap phone lol.

I would say that Cs5 is just a small patch to Cs4... not enough for a full release

I recommend everybody reading that.Metropc and Cricket user's.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Big difference between whether something is cheap, expensive or a good value. This phone and service plan are probably the best value available on the market, $100 off contract and $55 a month unlimited everything. Before I had this phone I had the iPhone 3G(matter of fact I still have it, it's currently collecting dust) with AT&T, I was paying just over $120 a month and every time I got that bill, I felt like I was getting raped.

I mainly use the phone for Google Maps, navigation, wifi tether, calendar syncing, puzzle games and very light web browsing, oh yeah and making calls(almost forgot that). This phone does everything I need and want it to do. What it lacks are things I don't really need, a gpu and a faster cpu, and to get a phone with those things I'm looking at like $200 up front plus a 2 year contract @ $120 a month for the service plan I need or like $500 up front to own the phone and $120 a month for the service plan(to me)=a big waste of money. Money I can spend on things like Photoshop or potato chips, or money I can put in the bank....
[Android Themes] jadden:
So i was just thinking of buying the stupid cd for the source code, but for them to send it on email.

Then uploading the file so eveybody has one.

Only if they don't realease in a month.
[Android Themes] jadden:
So how's it going?
[Android Themes] lube123:
it worked and it's staying at the Android screen, is it bricked? :'(
[Android Themes] jadden:
No,That's happened to me i just well did the flash back to stock and it worked.

But im using Cricket

You have a point there. Contract deals are wallet rapists.

Does anyone use SystemPanel app?
[Android Themes] ixbrettxi:
I do, I replaced Advanced Task Killer with it, like it alot better so far.
[Android Themes] lube123:
I flashed back to stock(Metro), and i'm not going to do this anymore, i lost over 100 contacts lol (THANK NON-EXISTANT GOD I SAVED EM TO MY PC!)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
It sounded like your phone was already screwed up before you tried to apply the theme. Also this is why you should backup your phone before making any big changes...:)
[Android Themes] lube123:
well, what i did was , Flashed stock, did theme, bricked, Flashed stock again. Became too ***** to try again lol. I might try again after this backup is done
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
Sounds like some anger issues. Why don't you install amon-ra? From what i understand, you can make a backup of your existing setup in case of brickage.
[Android Themes] lube123:
Ok so i got **** going now. My only problem is here is what happens

The 1st time, it said i needed to reboot, my phone froze before i could click reboot and it just went to bootloader screen and restarted my phone. The 2nd time, i pressed it before the phone could freeze, and it said Android.process.core has stopped and the phone restarts, and doesn't apply. any idea what's wrong ?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Dude, you need to be patience and let it finish, once you hit apply in metamorph it will take care of everything, it will reset the phone for you. If your getting errors now and force closes you may have to flash back to stock again because you didn't let it finish...

Just hit apply and sit back and wait for it to apply and once your phone restarts it'll be ready to use...
[Android Themes] lube123:
I am patient, it said it applied and asked me if i wanted to reboot. the option wouldn't click and my phone restarted on its own with no theme.
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
@joe

Thanks a bunch for this theme! I should buy you a beer. Anyway, are you able to use a png or something to make the status bar have a gradient? The reason I ask, is that after your 1/10 update, that is basically the only thing I would like - even though it would not be "gingerbread-like"

(Also the lolpink bars - I tried to tweak it by changing some variable from -1 to 0, and ended up bricking after reboot.)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Should be possible, although it's not the easiest thing to do because it's not a standard png it's a 9.png which is a whole other ball game...
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
If i make you one, would you want it?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Would be cool to have options, I'd link to it in the op if you want...
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
Sounds good. Ill see what i can do

Btw, your theme is teh rock

Is this the right .9? I didn't see any marker pixels on any of the .9's in your 3.5 file.

(GingerbreadAscend3.5\framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi\statusbar_background.9.png)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
I do believe that that's the one...
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
Ok, I am at work, and didn't bring my data cable or anything so I couldn't test it.
[Android Themes] mdneilson:
It fails for me in MM with the error that the theme control file may be missing... it fails at file 928. I've downloaded twice :( v3.5
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Try manually extracting it on to your sdcard and then in MM pick choose existing theme... Let me know how it works out for you...
[Android Themes] mdneilson:
items uneffected:

The phone tabs

none of the contact icons

the settings icons

the home menu (to select settings)

I don't know if that is all... I will edit if I find more...
[Android Themes] joenathane:
It appears you have the Cyanogen mod, which this theme isn't fully compatible with, sorry...
[Android Themes] mdneilson:
My sig is old, but I am running cm6.1 :/ Thanks, I wish it worked, it looks great.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
The CM should be ported to my phone soon, and you can rest assured that once that happens I will not sleep until this theme is fully compatible.
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
That statbar i linked earlier looks pretty nice, i just got a chance to test it.
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
I am trying to fiddle with the charging battery icons. When I open them in Photoshop, they get all messed up and are in Index mode. Do you know a way to fix this?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Please post a screenshot if you don't mind, also attach it as a zip file so that it retains all it's data, xda converts it to a jpeg. :)

I wonder if you can use a semi-transparent image for the stat-bar... I'll try it out tonight.

Yup, that's been taken care of for awhile now...
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
What do you use to edit the images for your theme? I'm using photoshop, but it looks like the .9's aren't being saved correctly. Also, the images that I am reusing don't seem to have the little "guide pixels" around the edges.

hw_customizetype=02 for the white text

and ro.config.PopupTwink=false to customize the pop ups

Has anyone changed the calculator or other native apps that are worth keeping?

[Android Themes] Snusdus:
CAn i use it om my mini pro ?
[Android Themes] Fodoom:
I can't exactly do the screenshot because it was a part of the original theme. If you can recall, the thing I am referring to is this: Let's say you have a pop-up similar to the one in my screenshot. Remember how the bottom of the pop-up in the old theme was blue, and occasionally made a little animation?

Also, I am trying to change the appearance of the USB and Caution icons in the top left corner. The ones in the res/drawable directory don't seem to change it.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Why not? Go for it.

For the popup try in the build.prop the popuptwink to true

and the icons are in the drawable-mdpi

ok i did everything theme works great but it still showing everything as white nothing has changed? just the nota bar?

and my time is gone lmfai
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Gingerbread is Android 2.3, the Ascend runs 2.1, what I'm working on is taking the UI/Visual elements from the newest version of android and making those work with the Ascend. So if you apply this theme your phone will look like android 2.3 but still actually be running 2.1...
[Android Themes] joenathane:
If we get the clockworkmod, that'll speed up the deodexing process, because i won't be as afraid of taking risk with my phone. There is a way we can get the clockworkmod, check my post out here

[Android Themes] Serris:
Could you post a link to your Metroid wallpaper? :)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
I've flashed it to my phone 7-8 times and never had a problem, 4 or 5 of those times was right after flashing back to stock/factory. Redownload the v0.1.zip, make sure you have busybox and that it's the latest version of busybox, I'm using the 1.18(not sure if that makes a difference), shutdown your phone, remove the battery for 30 seconds, and then try it again... obviously this requires root, so make sure you hit yes when superuser pops up for metamorph

I downloaded the Android SDK and used the emulator of 2.3 and did an adb pull of the framework-res.apk and pulled out the mdpi files...

Here you go sir http://min.us/mvjW0v

[Android Themes] joenathane:
Metamorph can be retarded, but i don't blame it, I fixed the issue with the new Ascend only download, download that my friend and join in the illusion that you are running gingerbread. :)
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file is missing. I hate my life, **** can never be easy.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Make sure to delete the old zip file off your sdcard and then redownload the theme. It works fine, I just redownloaded it and tested it again, the only thing i can think of that is happening is that your trying to open an older download...

Also make sure to look on you sdcard under /androidthemes for any old zips
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
I deleted everything lol. Even my tapaxdadownload folder. Reinstalled metamorph. Still says theme control file is invalid.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
That is really strange... i know for a fact it works, are you trying the "v0.1.zip for ascend only"?
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
I tried all of them lol
[Android Themes] dEris:
I love it.

1) Is the "3G" icon in the status bar changed yet? The screenshot says otherwise

2) If the Metamorph fails or I don't like this theme, how do we revert since there is not recovery for this phone and I can't do a nandroid?

3) =D

Change the 3G icon before anything else, and I will use it now and wait for the rest to finish, like text colors.
[Android Themes] dEris:
Also, I know how to disable the double signal icon and use the regular single signal icon. Let me know if you need to know how to disable that.
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
How'd you do that?
[Android Themes] dEris:
to

Edit build.prop

ro.config.hw_new_double_signal=1

Change to

Then reboot. :p
