Hey,

The theme looks really nice but for some reason when I used metamorph it says the theme is invalid when i extracted (something about control files).

How do you install the theme?

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] krazyphire:
Awesome! Darky's 9.4 JS8 based rom please!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] blazin619:
Thank you

CM7
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sthacher:
I installed this after updating to the last nightly CM7. Seemed to change a lot of text on buttons so they say diffrent things. Just wondering if this was normal, I flashed CM7 back and picked a diffrent theme.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
the 3/18 nightly?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ZduneX25:
Forget what I said. I was wrong. Sorry for disturbing you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheEscapist:
Causes bootloops on the latest nightly. :c

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Oh man, I'll try to get an update up within the hour ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
10:03 and it's up :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoppingshzhang:
How do you install this theme please?

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Flash it through CWM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoppingshzhang:
Thanks. Just installed!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheEscapist:
Damn, I only checked back now. :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheEscapist:
Any word on the latest nightly?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ninjuh:
Does this work with the 4/2/11 update?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheEscapist:
Confirmed working on the latest nightly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
:eek: flashed it to check it out, and Market is FC'ing. hmm.. any ideas. I did wipe my cache and dalvik as well. Theme looks great, but me market wont open:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Try reflashing update and then theme

Phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Cool.. ill try that. Gonna let my phone charge a bit but ill let you know.. thanks.

*edit* reflashed 04/02 nightly and then refladhed theme. Still same results..market is fc'ing.

*edit2* reflashed nightly, and opened market just to see. It opened just fine, but it's themed blue. I'm guessing from matted blues. Hmm.. not really sure how to go about this. Gonna try again i suppose.

***OK. I tried again. Market works with latest nightly for cm7, also works with escapist's kernel. The moment I flash the theme, market force closes when i try to open it. Beats me.. I have to assume it's something I'm not doing- but after wiping cache and dalvik, the only thing left is a factory reset which i don't want to do. And honestly, it shouldn't be that.. but maybe it is. I don't know.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Really weird, I haven't had this problem. I always recommend backing up before flashing themes just in case something like this happens. Have you frozen the market updater in tibu or anything?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I have not done anything with tibu in awhile. Not on this last install of CM7. I'm wondering what would happen if i uninstalled market and tried to install it again. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I wouldn't be surprised if that worked on the latest nightly. If it doesnt work and you have to reflash the initial to get it back, I'm really sorry D: just make sure to make a backup if you get it working again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
well even the initial doesn't necessarily have the market right? I thought the market was separate.. at least i had to dl and install separately. I still have the gapps zip in my dl folder.. i should be able to just re install it.. i hope:)

*edit* but then i loose the theme market that comes with the theme. lol.. i can't win. haha.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
...derp. Yeah, try the gapps zip, I don't know what I was thinking :p

If you can't get it to stop fc'ing after flashing the theme, and you have winrar, you could just make a copy of the theme zip and remove the vending.apk from system/app. I'll can make it tomorrow if you would like, just so you can have the market back until we can fix the problem.

Phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Well I have winrar, but I've never done anything that involves opening up a zip and messin around. Although I'm not afraid to try its just something I haven't done yet. Is it fairy simple.. locate vending.apk in system/app and delete..? or is a little more involved.

So I played with the phone for awhile last night. I didn't delete market as I was hoping to find a workaround. I flashed latest nightly and escapists kernel just to get back to where I was..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Evilspawn:
So is this working with themed market or is everyone having problems?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I think I'm the only one having problems..lol.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
That's exactly how simple it is (and pretty much how easy it is to make a theme :D). Open zip, go to system/app, and delete app. Then when you flash it, you won't be replacing the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Ahh.. ok I think I'm pickin up what your putting down;-) ill be next to my computer in like an hour. Definitely interested in getting this theme to work so I'm gonna dive in and go for it.

Hmm.. I'm sure ill be back with a question :/

Thanks for your help!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So here i am, thinking I'm actually getting good at this android modding stuff... Opened theme with winRAR.. went into system/app, found vending.apk and deleted it, but a window pop up and i got an error: Cannot create zy_xxx.

hmm.. do i ignore this. My options in that window are:close, break operation, or copy to clipboard. ..kinda stuck.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Evilspawn:
Yea true I flashed with no problems...lol sorry bud hope u find a solution....I could mess with it if I figure something out ill post back.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
That's never happened to me before... You could try dragging the vending.apk from gapps in there and just replace it with the stock one, or maybe redownload. I'll make it when I get home in a few hours if you are still having problems.

Also, don't be afraid to mess around with this stuff, you can always get back into recovery and reflash an update or the original theme to fix it c:

Phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
That's cool. I don't want you to go out of your way just to help me get the theme working correctly. I'm gonna try to download again and see what happens.. then maybe I'll try to replace the vending.apk with the one from the gapps zip. Still odd that i have the blue themed market now and it opens just fine, while the rest of the theme is gone. AND, to top it off.. I've gone into tibu twice and uninstalled market.. only to have the phone reboot and market is still there, fully functional. ...and blue. I am really starting to feel like a noob now:eek:

*EDIT* why i didn't try this first is beyond me. I simply dl'd the theme via PC and mounted storage and dragged it to the root of my SD card.. unmounted, check to make sure it was there.. booted into CWM, flashed... all is good. SORRY about the many posts of trying to figure out what went wrong. I usually use my phone for all my DL's and stuff, its just easier. For some reason, it seems to like the storage mount technique better. Anyway.. thanks for your help i appreciate it. Now i can finally enjoy this theme ;-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Lol it's cool, I'm glad everything's working now :D

Phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xnoctis93:
so just confirming, if i flash this and have issues and want to revert back to stock cm7 look, i just reflash latest nightly?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Evilspawn:
yay glad its working for ya;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yup, that will revert things back to stock cm7.. :)

haha.. thanks Evilspawn! I knew I could do it.. lol :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Demonic240:
I'd be very interested to see this on Serindipty.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Search is your friend.

Phone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Is this working with the latest nightly- 0409? Flashed it after updating and just got stuck in a bootloop. I rebooted and still got stuck in a bootloop. Anyway, just curious.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Working on an update right now :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Okay, so the update is up and it should work fine, but I don't know about the gallery. Quickpic needs a lib file, so I added it to the zip but I don't know if it worked. If it doesn't, I'll try to fix it ASAP. If it does, now your wallpapers' quality won't be ruined :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I may have spoke too soon. Looks like another nightly is available: 0410. Wondering if your last update will work with CM7's latest update?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Yup, that's what I made it for. I'm getting fc's on the browser though, so I'll try to figure that out today.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Awesome! Maybe ill wait till you get the browser working but excited to get matted back again :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aguila88psi:
Anybody know the html color code for the darker blue in the status bar?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Oops, I uploaded it a while ago but forgot to post it :x It's working now

the hex code?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sweet sauce!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aguila88psi:
the hex code?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I've found the lighter shade of blue to be 73b6d6 but I'm looking for the darker blue code.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
296c8c is the dark blue on the battery (darkest part, there's a bit of a gradient)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aguila88psi:
That's awesome, thanks!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
I'm in the process of porting this to continuum. One major problem I'm having is the menu text is white work the light gray background. Is there a way for me to change the text to black?

Also when I say menu... I mean for example when you are in the home screen and press the menu button.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] piburglar:
Since this is for CM7, and CM7 comes with the theme manager from T-Mobile, Why not just make this for that theme engine instead of making this CWM flashable? Would be nice, since its easy to revert back, etc.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] papercutMS:
Thanks for porting this great theme
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Wouldn't it be easier to change the background to a darker color?

The creator said that he didn't want to because it doesn't theme everything.

No problem :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Will there be a new update for every nightly release? Just curious how this works if I'm interested in keeping matted blues as my theme while also staying up to date with latest nightly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Maybe not every nightly, but I'll update if it doesn't work with the latest or if there's an update for the nexus s.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Awesome. That's good to know!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
Will this work for the 4.12 nightly?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
It should considering there weren't any framework changes and it was just for people with flashing issues.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah.. it does :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
yeah I tried it right after and it did :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] waghoba:
so what would be the best way to revert back to original after flashing this?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If your referring to the original theme that comes with CM7, all you have to do is flash the latest nightly and it will revert back to the CM7 theme (gingerbready)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] M973:
Andromeda3

This theme, or any aspect of it ported to Andromeda3 would be awesome, I like it a lot. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Come to continuum...i have it ported over for it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] M973:
Thanks. Which thread is it in? (saw you mentioned in the Continuum themes thread you might create a new thread) -haven't flashed that ROM, still on Andromeda, but might try it :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Probably your best bet, I have js7, jpy, and kb1 covered. What's andromeda's base? It seems like a pretty simple port (though for my bluegb thread) if you don't feel like flashing a rom (and the theme works on at least 5 roms now :D)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] M973:
Thanks, giving some thought to Continuum (wanted to see if it was stable, bug free, etc., as I'm still a newb with ROMs, didn't want to be swapping modems, kernels, etc.) Though I know people who are on Andromeda3 on the whole are looking for some themes (re: AdamOutler's post in this section "Theme request")

Edit: another JS8 rom "Subpression" just popped up, might have to watch that
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
It's in the themes/app threads list. Called mattedblues for continuum
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
Thread appears like it's gone
[Captivate Themes and Apps] M973:
Not seeing it either :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
What the hell happened to my thread!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
No clue buddy, I was looking for it to dl again but it looks like it's hosed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
I'm not impressed by how xda handled that. I'll have to wait until I get home...I'm flying home today. It's on android-files.com if you wanna get it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheMathMan:
Dialler is black background in 0415 nightly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
It's supposed to be. I had a frequent issue of the phone and contacts apps disappearing, and this has fixed it. I saw that they were put back to transparent in the original MB thread, but I haven't gotten around to testing them yet. I'll see what I can do.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pheno.menon:
Could you port this for Inspire, please?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
Flashed and everything works but my lockscreen is black with the notification bar showing. How can I fix this?

*looks like more than that is messed up. a lot of stuff is screwed, I'm on the latest nightly
[Captivate Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Reflash latest nightly to get rid of theme. Chances are it has not been updated to work with the latest nightly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
yeah trying to do that now, can't even get the nightly on the phone though. neither usb nor downloading it within the phone's browser work.

do you know what nightly works well with this theme?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Sorrysorrysorry, updated earlier and forgot to upload. I'll try to get it up right now :x
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
thank you. I'm going back to stock now because the nightly flash didn't fix everything. I hope to use your theme and it works 100% with the latest nightly because its a great port :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Thanks :D

Hope you guys aren't too mad about the 2 packages. I support this theme for the i9000 too, and the apps work on both so keeping them separate from the framework makes my update packages smaller and saves me 30-40 minutes of attempting to upload with frustration.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
no worries. can't wait for the newer theme. not trying to be a bug, but do you have a rough eta? have to get up early for work tomorrow.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Forgot to change title, it's been up :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
awesome, gonna dl and try to flash. hopefully it all goes good
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
Hate to bug again, but I can't download the zip for the actual theme (not the apps.zip). I've tried multiple browsers, nothing works. Can you rehost somewhere else?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Megaupload and attached
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
So I am kinda lost. We have 2 downloads to flash through CWM. The apps and the actual theme correct?

What is the apps download? Like whats it contain? Themed applications I assume? Which ones?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Right, the apps package contains: themed browser, calculator, calendar, camera, contacts, clock, email, quickpic (gallery replacement, far superior to stock 3d gallery), gmail, sms, music, dialer, search, rom manager, sound recorder, superuser, theme chooser, market (no longer working unless you freeze the market updater after a fresh flash), and blue BobClockD3.

It also includes the font Zegoe UI and the lib file for QuickPic.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
hey man, your theme works great on the newest nightly. problem is the newest nightly is buggy as hell.

can you post what updates in the first post of the theme correspond to what nightlies? I was thinking of going back to an older nightly as it might be more stable or even the initial CM7 rom (is there a version of our theme that will work on the initial?).

Thanks!

*Edit: I'm not 100% sure but after talking with other users in the original CM7 thread for captivate, it seems the newest nightly is very stable and it might be the theme. I think you're on MIUI, but would you mind flashing to the newest CM7 nightly and trying your own theme and checking things out?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I've been using it since yesterday and haven't run into any problems, what bugs have you experienced?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
Tons of FCs with multiple apps, sd card has trouble being read, other weird issues. I'm doing a full run back to stock and back to the latest nightly. I never had these problems before I tried your theme out.

However, like I said, I'm not 100% sure its your theme. I'm a little hesitant to try your theme out after completing this 3rd total reflash, but I'm willing to do it to try and figure out the issue.

Especially since you're not running into any issues, I'm hoping you had a bad flash. The original CM7 thread said to not use flashable themes but to use the theme manager only. Can your port your version of mattedblues to be usable in the theme manager?

If thats too much trouble, no worries. I still appreciate what you've already done so far :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I don't think you need to reflash from stock every time, just try wiping everything and formatting system, data, datadata, and cache. Also, if you have recurring issues on the latest nightly, you may want to redownload it. People on the i9000 and the captivate have been using this without any issues, so I'm assuming something on your end isn't working right. If you want a version for theme manager, you can bug jabbawalkee about it but I don't think he'd be up for it. Sorry about all of the problems :p

On a sidenote, I just made a new app pack with the transparent dialer and contacts along with gtalk. Should be uploaded within the next 10-20 minutes as long as I don't run into any uploading issues.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
ok thanks :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Updated app package to v2!

Edit: Also, you shouldn't have to worry about what kaik said. I usually update with every cm7 update unless it's tested and working, and I always make sure I don't mess up the framework and systemui (theme package). The only risk in flashing this theme is if you're using a version for 5/1/11 on 5/7/11 cm7 and it isn't confirmed working.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
don't know why mediafire keeps screwing me, but I can't downoad MBAppsv2.zip. It just sits with the blue progress bar instead of showing the link up, in multiple browsers and refreshed multiple times :mad:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Multiupload

It has been... mirrored. I AM SO FUNNY.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
thanks. I tried to install in CWM. The actual theme installed correctly, yet the GBAppsv2.zip continually sent back "Installation aborted." The file is the right size on both my computer and the sd card so I don't think its a corrupted. :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Wahhhhh, I just tried downloading it and flashing and it all worked fine. I dl'd from multiupload, so maybe the megaupload one was bad? Same file so I don't know, maybe try downloading again?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
god damn... I hate how much trouble I'm running into with this stuff (totally not towards you, just towards cm7/general phone ish).

I have a new plan: go all the way back to stock (yes, I know, a bit unnecessary), flash the latest nightly, then straight to your theme (redownloaded, of course) before anything else.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Are you sure you're flashing everything right? Not missing the initial or anything?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
99.9% positive. I'm following the instructions exactly from the CM7 thread
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Weird, maybe you're just really unlucky with flashes :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
lol that makes me sad, hopefully this next one is the one that works
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
so my exact process was

1. go back to stock with 3 button fix working

2. redownloaded all the files, flashed following cm7's steps exactly

3. flashed nightly

4. flashed g apps

5. flashed theme + apps part

everythings working perfectly so far, I'm almost scared to restore anything via titanium
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Yeah, I wouldn't if I were you. Or at least make a nandroid backup first and not restore the data with the apps
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
yeah everythings still working well :D

I did do a nandroid and am only installing apps from the market, not from tibu
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mauijpm:
Thank You!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Good to hear, I hope nothing goes wrong :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Tested and working on the latest nightly, feel free to share any problems.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
Does not work with newest 5.04 nightly. I get a status bar FC and no status bar.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
I'll look into it when I get home.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] superj3211:
any news on getting it working with 5/04 update?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
he's probably not home yet/working on it now. give him some time to update it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Yeah sorry guys, I've been busy and wanted to flash the cappy bootloader back so I'll get to it right now. It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Aaaaaaaand updated :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] superj3211:
still not working for me, it installs and works but only thin that changes is the status bar, none of the icons change color or anything
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheEscapist:
Did you flash the apps package?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] superj3211:
you talking the google apps package?

yes, here is the order in which i install cm7

flash to stock, speedmod kernel, cm7 kernel, clear system/data/cache, let it boot, flash latest nightly, flash jk4 modem, flash google apps, let it boot and input google info, then flash the mattedblues
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
I believe he was talking about the mapps package listed in the OP of this thread as well. YOu need to flash both the mattedblues theme 1.5 and the mapps2 package
[Captivate Themes and Apps] superj3211:
o ok thanks, i didnt even see that
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
damn I was so tired I missed this lol. nice one
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Update to apps package for new quickpic, market, and gtalk. I'm not sure about the makret though, I'd recommend uninstalling updates (through settings>applications>manage applications>all>market) first. Feedback is always appreciated C:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
when you have time, can you update your theme to the latest 5-09 nightly?

thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
It's working fine for me :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mirrored:
ok thanks. just wanted to make sure before I screwed up my phone flashing an incompatible theme
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brendanmurphy:
