First - after you have installed Metamorph you should launch it to set it up. I tried different versions of Metamorph and each of them failed to set up.

Second - If you have already set up your metamorph, search in the Android General > Themes forum for MDPI device Metamorph themes (Make sure your Android version matches the targeted version of Metamorph to avoid bugs).

sorry my english not good

my phone is rooted but not up rom #

I'm using original rom of LG P500. So Can i change theme?

Please? This is my first time using android OS
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
The original system APKs are odexed (Which means that in order to modify them you need to modify all the files related to them, search the web for "Odexed" to get more information). That's why to theme your phone you must have a deodexed ROM because otherwise it gets complicated (And if you theme an odexed ROM you won't be able to load the Android GUI).

You should either flash a custom ROM or make your own so you can apply themes from XDA and other sites.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
So, it's been about 8 months since I rooted my phone and I'm startin to want to learn more...

I rooted my phone and installed xtrSENSE4.0.6.1 ROM and I've spent the past 14 hours today, reading here and androidforums seein what options I've got now. I'm debating upgrading to the newer xtrSENSE...but I'd like to learn to customize/theme everything as much as possible, so I'm not sure if that's the right option for me?

I'm looking for some direction on things, what ROM would you guys recommend moving to, I LOVE my current ones performance.

My only internet access is through my phone, I'm using wireless teather to type this now, so errors are no option for me, saddly.

I only use the basics of my phone, calls, text/mms, camera, internet, youtube, music player so less is more for me...out of the 7 screens, I barely qualify for using 3, I play most of the Storm8 games, but other than that, don't use much of the stock apps and would like to rid of as many as possible...if possible

I see now, that we've got an option for an improved boot without trackball required, which sounds like something that I should install, just as a precautionary to be on the safe side of things...

I've been reading the "How to theme" threads but I get kinda lost, even in the super noob easy ones...I'm feeling lost as to what I should do, I need step by step with visual...I feel re tarded!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
i have become quite fond of the cm7 roms. they run fast and smooth. they all (i think, i know tazz and shed) have wireless tether working. you will lose sense with any cm7 though. themeing in cm7 is made especially easy in cm7 through t-mobiles theme engine. all you do is download and install a theme from the market, run the tmobile theme program, select the theme, and reboot. if you decide to go with a different rom, most themes are through metamorph which there should be several threads on. the froyo roims are also very stable. however, tazz's froyo with sense is the most complete sense on 2.2 and it is missing the camera and bluetooth audio. i saw you use the camera and so 2.2 sense may not be an option for you. it does have wireless tether though. if you like sense then a 2.1 like xtrsense is the way to go. the themes section should have all the information you need to get you up and theming. the only caution is to make sure the theme you select/apply is designed for your rom. amon ra recovery is usually the best way to go especially if you do not routinely check md5sums. the trackball usually starts to scroll left before failing, so unless you have that issue already, you probably do not need the trackballless recovery. however, as you suggested it is often better to be safe now then sorry later, i would pick an amon ra needing trackball over a clockwork without trackball since amon ra checks file integrity before flashing to try to avoid bricking you phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
Thanks for the insight, yeah, I'm runnin xtrSENSE right now, it's what I flashed 8 months ago and have left it, there's a new version now, I started thinking though, maybe I should try somethin else, and something that I can theme.

I'm a minimalist which is why I was thinking maybe a NON-SENSE might be better suited for me. From what I understand, the SENSE ROMs are harder to theme and the CyanogenMod ROMs are probably going to be more what I'm looking for, since they're suppose to be easier to theme?

I'm kinda lookin for opinions and basics of things to get started learning some more customization skills. I'm also a windows guy and am lacking knowledge in MAC and Linux, which is seemingly where Andriod is based.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
Vanilla ROMs and CM ROMs are definately easier to theme than Sense ROMs. Here's a good thread you can look through if you want to learn more. This is where I learned a lot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916814

Also all the devs here are very helpful and will always help in any way they can.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
Yeah, I've been spendin most of my time reading that thread and the threads linked in there, there's a lot to read!

What's a good day to day, stable Vanilla or CM ROM? Are those all AOSP? or just the CM's? Maybe I'll just have to flash'em until I find one I like, then go from there with learning Themeing
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
if you are looking for a cm7 rom, i am currently using gingershedbread 1.6 although i have also used tazz's and it works equally as well. i had been using froyoshedyo previously as it is a very stable 2.3 cm6.2.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauly2277:
I personally run gsb 1.6 an i really like it...but before that i ran nonsensikal black and blue :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
I'm running tazz blackened gingerbread now coming from his cm7 v6. Both are running great. The best thing to do though is try a few and see what you like best and what runs nest on your phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
I've downloaded both tenzomonks Vanilla 2.0.4. and Worksheds GSBv1.6 I'll have to check each of'em out Was gonna DL Tazz Froyos GB too and compare the three.

As for icons and what not, I know there's packages and theme zips you can download and pull images/icons and things from those, but can you pull from ROM's themselves? Without installing to the phone?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
Yes. Just open the zip and go through and find what you want. A lot of the icon's could be located within apk files which can be opened with 7zip or winrar. If they are theme icons then they might be located elsewhere. Just browse around until you find what you want lol :rolleyes::D That's what I did.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
Well...I've got fewer than 10 posts so I'm stuck postin this question here rather than in the Vanilla ROM thread...

I flashed the Vanilla 2.0.4. ROM succesfully to my phone, but when doing a wipe, the Wipe SD:ext partition failed, I tried twice, failed both times, proceeded to install the ROM and everything went fine, I'm just wondering if that's going to cause any problems in the future?

I'm also wondering if I can totally format my SDcard and have a fresh phone, I've got everything backed up on the computer so I wouldn't think it'd be a big deal if an error occured, I could just put everything back on via backup on computer, right? Mabye, delete one at a time on the sd? Just would like to clean up a bit
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
i'm not to familiar with tenzomonk's rom. most roms do not require you to wipe the sd card unless you need to change the partitions on it. however, i am not sure why your wipe of the sd card failed. if you are running windows, you can boot to recovery, mount sd card in recovery (very easy if you are running amons), when it shows up in your drive list, right click and format. then copy your flashable rom file to your sd card, unmount, rewipe data, reflash.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Did you put an ext2 or ext3 partition on to your SD card? In other words, your SD card is normally a single FAT32 partition. Amon's Recovery gives you the option to create an ext2 partition and a swap partition - generally for apps2sd on 2.1 ROMs for the Eris - and also a way to convert that ext2 partition to ext3.

Wipe:ext will wipe an ext2 or ext3 partition on your SD card if you have one. It will not wipe the normal FAT32 partition on the SD card.

If you did not create an ext2 or ext3 partition on your SD card, then wipe:ext does nothing.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
Yeah, I've never done anything to the SD so I'm assuming it's FAT32 and that's why it failed then, thanks, now I know why.

I've been trying to change the keyboard on this ROM with no luck, in the Vanilla ROM thread, there's a link to an HTC_IME.apk for the sense style keyboard, but when I installed those, nothing happend, I followed all instructions for setting up, using EStrong to install, then switching from android keyboard to multi-touch and the first install, the milti-touch wouldn't pop up, then I uninstalled/reinstalled and it "works" but the only difference between the two is the background color, milti is grey, droid is black...

I've got a few other things I'm wanting to change but I can't post in the Vanilla thread yet so I thank you guys for all your support and suggestions in this thread thus far
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
One other thing now too, I forgot to mention, I've only messed with this keyboard change and I've installed Dolphin browser, and it pops up saying storage space is low, yet under phone storage sdcard, it says available space is 6.17gb out of 7.39gb and phone storage is 139mb
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
This is a nifty keyboard solution i found. It is an online kitchen that lets you make your own custom keyboard. As far as i know, it would work with your ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654179 . I have personally used it and found it to be quite user friendly, easy to use, and free. I used it on KaosFroyo v32 FYI.

Does it give you the "low space" notification in the status bar? If so, when you go to menu->settings->storage "internal storage" What is listed as your available space? Is that where you see the 139mb free? Could be a rom issue? With GingerShedBreaad 1.7 and about 50 apps installed, I have 67mb free and never get the status bar "low space" notification.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamikazeChris:
I tried that one too, same results

To quote myself:

So I'm wondering if maybe I should wipe and reinstall this ROM again, and maybe clear my SDcard as well, any suggestions on what format to run on the SD if I do format? The low storage notification pops up when I long press to switch keyboards, nothing in status bar
[Surround General] itsjaylin:
If I'm on WiFi, will MMS use my data plan or wifi?
[Surround General] vel0city1:
MMS goes through your texting plan on AT&T. It doesn't count as data usage.
[Surround General] itsjaylin:
So it uses no data at all? Then why does it require data to send mms?
[Surround General] vel0city1:
You don't need a data plan to send an MMS, but it needs a data connection to send the information because it still routes it over the 3G connection.

Because of the way it routes the MMS as opposed to regular web traffic, they track it and don't bill you for data usage even though it uses the data connection.

That's how it is with AT&T on a locked phone, but I don't know about other carriers or if you are using an unlocked device.
[Surround General] matrx10503:
T-Mobile yes can over wifi

http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm24195.xml

Other carriers....I don't know
[Surround General] DaveNavy:
Yea and T-mobile supports wi-fi calling as well and At&t Does not.

Pretty sure it has to be a T-Mobile Device With Wi-Fi calling option in order for that o work...could be wrong though.
