Hey tyler, why not do the same thing I did and add backup and restore to a seperate page called "Nandroid Option" or something? I can give you my xml code for it. I also replaced "Restore" on the home screen with "About Theme" to give people information on it and also, I set the "Backup" button on the main screen to Nandroid Options Let me know what you think.

Good idea, but personally I like the interface it has right now. Just a personal prefrence
I like that^ but personally think it'd be better without all the ics icons. Good stuff guys!

Wow latest update looks great. Would be cool if you could add ICS progress bar and fonts. Just an idea.
I just flashed something and that red background was "alarming" I thought I funked something up. Also the text was a little hard to read with the red background . Maybe black instead to red for the background?
There is a bug on the last page of data whip the menus carry over to that page. FYI.

The splash can't be modified. I was told by the programmer, they put that image into the C code
Thanks for the bug report. I just fixed it
here's a little something i made for the masses to flash TWRP and automatically have your theme https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D315775_7173530_083842
its a bat file for windows that auto reboots to bootloader erases recovery and flashes TWRP for the GSM NEXUS S (T-mobile /att / rogers )
Sorry sprint users
Simple download this extract it and run RecoveryFlasher.bat
it adb pushes the ui.zip to the correct folder on the sdcard to avoid confusion
if anyone finds any issues with it let me know
please note you must already have an unlocked bootloader and adb and fastboot drivers for it to work
Installed the theme this morning, doing a restore does not show the "Enable MD5 checking of backup files" text and checkbox. I can see a little line belonging to the checkbox but the rest is covered. Thanks, excelent theme.
love it but could you remove the virtual buttons ?

Thanks for this theme, by the way. It looks lovely on my EVO 4G. But I agree, the on-screen button aren't needed, since the hardware buttons work fine within recovery (at least they do on the EVO).

PLEASE DO A NANDROID BEFORE TRYING.
One of the things I’ve most liked about Hero was the ability to change the lockscreen background. I had an application named Lockbot from the Market, and though it’s a nice app, I found that it would drain my battery real quick. Plus, I would have random problems like the Notification Bar locking up and no SMS or Handcent pop-ups. I also really missed not being able to control my music like I could with the Stericson Lockscreen. So, I made a real quick and easy way to change the background using MetaMorph. It looks like a lot of steps, but once you get this set up, all you have to do is change 1 file, and you can change the background to anything you like. This is so easy, I don’t know why no one has posted this before.
Instructions:
Download Lockscreen-Background and unzip it. Put it in the AndroidThemes folder on your SD card. DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
Navigate through all the folders. framework-res> res> drawable
There you will find a picture named “zzlockscreenback.png”
Replace that picture with any png you like as long as it’s 320X455 and rename it to “zzlockscreenback.png”
1. Open MetaMorph
2. Click on “Existing Theme”
3. Navigate to folder named “AndroidThemes”
4. Click on folder named “Lockscreen-Background”
5. Put a check next to file named “Lockscreen-Background”
6. Click “Ok”
7. Click “Apply All”
8. Reboot your phone when prompted
9. Enjoy your new Lockscreen Background
Next time you want to change the wallpaper, just replace the “zzlockscreenback.png” to anything that you like, reapply the Metamorph, reboot, and you are all set.
Screenshots:

I have included the background that is in the 3rd screenshot with my MetaMorph.
The theme I am using is djengizz's Alternative Eclair lockscreen cause I think it looks real nice. I made a slight mod to it and made the gray bar at the bottom completely transparent, and have included it in this post, if you want it.
You can get Stericson's Lockscreen here.
Special thanks to djengizz and Stericson as they have done all the work. I've just made slight changes.
It's working great for me. Thanks a lot, i've been looking for a way to do this for a while!
No problem. Glad to hear that you found it useful.
Would this work on dwang ROM?
It'll work if he's ported over the Stericson Lockscreen. Might also work on a stock rom without the lockscreen, but I haven't tested it. You might want to make a Nandroid before applying just in case.
it didnt work on mine...do i need to install The Stericson Lockscreen( dont know how to couldnt find any instructions)
i did exactly wat you said...still have the default locksreen

If you're using Cyanogen's rom, a link to the Stericson Lockscreen is provided in the first post. If you are using a different rom, you might need to ask the rom developer to compile the Stericson Lockscreen for their rom.
I'll see if there is something that can be done with the default vanilla lockscreen, but I am away from home and won't have a chance to look at it until later tonight.
you could try making the image toast_frame.9.png in framework-res.apk/res/drawable the sizing that you are using for the lockscreen image and see how that turns out, since that is the image that controls the default lockscreen.

well i went to his website and downloaded the "attachments_8_.zip Lockscreen for Cyan 4.1.11.1" but theres 5 files...android.policy.jar framework.jar services.jar framework-res.apk settings.apk ...what do i do with those files...do i just run framework.apk and settings.apk??
Once you have the Stericson Lockscreen file, you have to flash it in recovery. Once you flash it, it'll be installed. Once it's installed, you can flash my MetaMorphs. Remember, MetaMorphs are themes. You can't theme something that is not installed.

Thanks for the heads up David. From what I understand, .9.png images need to be edited using Eclipse, which I don't have, but it's worth a try if a brave soul wants to try it and report back. Just be sure you do a Nandroid first.

You need to flash the entire Zip file from the Stericson Lockscreen link in the OP. You would flash just like you would flash any rom. If you have questions or problems with that, read up on the directions and troubleshooting in the Stericson link. Just make sure you are flashing the correct lockscreen for your rom.

Looks like you unzipped the Stericson Lockscreen and didn't resign it. Redownload Stericson's Lockscreen again and flash it. Don't unzip it or mess with it. Once you have it on your phone, follow my instructions.

Here is the image:
Just rename to zzlockscreenback.png, put in the correct folder, and apply through MetaMorph.
I'm flashing the modded lockscreen using metamorph but its taking a long long time, its been going for like 20 minutes already and it still says please wait and the icon's still ticking round, the phones not frozen because i can pull the taskbar down, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Am i doing something wrong?
ps. have already flashed stericson screen and tried the background change, worked perfect, good job, just trying to get the modded screen now.

It shouldn't take that long to flash either of them. There are no changes to the framework, just the images, so you should be safe if you kill it with a task manager and retry it. Better yet, restart your phone and try it again. Hopefully that works for you.
Updates:
11.25.2010 - Added a Stock Perception 4 reverter (Reverterator)
11.29.2010 - Massive rework for Perception 5, removed 1.3
12.17.2010 - Update for Perception 9
Introduction
This is a mashup of several different themes and APK kits. I took what I liked from each, made a few tweaks and ended up with this. The makers of the themes mentioned below get all the credit.
Items in the update:

Theme Mashup - Various elements pulled from the following
---- Dark_Soul[Doc18]
---- BlackFroyo - Samcrow
---- Darknessv2.3 - Reefermattness
---- (2) Manup456_REVOlution_1.2r1
---- Minimalistic Mod - inku
---- smooth-sense_evo1.0.25
---- and alot from Smooth-REVOlution1.1r2_1.0.1_nopercent
HOSTS file - Ad free Angry Birds (damn pigs stealing my eggs)
Battery Options - There are two choices
BlackBatt (SmoothREVOlution/Manup456) - Try BlackBatt, it uses 100 images like other percent mods. Battery life is better when you don't know the percentage of time left

How long would you consider long? I flashed with CW 10 mins ago and am still getting a blank screen. Suggestions? Ohh and flashing on Perception build 4.
2 min max. Thats too long.
What ROM are you using? Did you have any other customizations installed?
I've installed each of these several times and never had this happen.
Perception build 4. I have tried unsuccessfully to flash anything through the ROM manager app. When I flash it just goes to a blank screen. Im going to try and flash by going into recovery mode and let you know the results.
Thanks
update: flashed through CW recovery mode and it went fine. For some reason I can't flash using the ROM manager app. Anyway great theme. Have you tried to flash the a transition over the theme?
Yeah, don't use ROM Manager. It isn't really necessary with the SetiroN i9000 kernels.
Flashing the transitions from DesignGear's thread over this theme, or others, will revert the taskbar and other items to the theme originally packaged with Perception. You will be left with an ugly hybrid.
The changes are in the framework-res\anim folder (XML) and are easy enough to incorporate. I have a build with the bounce method running right now, but it is a bit off-putting. Not sure I like it.
I have a android.policy.jar that enables TapLock for Perception as well. I will be integrating it in the next version. The lock screen will look just like the one in the Doc's ROM images above.
Awesome I really like the taplock better. when should we be expecting the next version, and will we be able to just flash over the current theme?
I'll up it now. I'm dorking around with SetiroN i9000 1.4 kernel, so I won't do much more with it until after the holiday.
It will have the Taplock and Flyin' animations.
How do you uninstall?
Looks great though!

Flashed. Looks awesome! My Cognadian Bacon has been officially zoinkdified!
Like the theme and plan on using it. The only change I would like to see is make the notification bar background a little more opaque.

Restore your backup from step 4.
I'm not sure it is customary to include method to revert, but I can work this out later.
If you ignored the red-highlighted step (wink-wink), uninstall Launcher Pro and try plasticdarlow's stock revert. You can delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media to get the creepy eyeball boot screen back. That will leave the HOSTS file which you can revert or leave alone.

You read my mind. I darkened it quite a bit, but the transparency makes it hard to read if the screen underneath is busy. I'll update it in the next revision.
Which battery are you guys using? Part of the reason I made this was to get the BlackBatt back. I loved it when I had an EVO and I haven't seen the detailed version in any other Captivate themes. It seems that the general public likes the circle batt's, so I added it.

i am trying the one you recommend (blackbatt). I usually like the "B" circle battery but i want to try your and see how i like it.
Where did you get the launcherpro tweaks? I am interested in seeing what the changes are.
DocRambone made the Launcher Pro update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8994158&postcount=3852
Just flashed it and it is attractive. Thanks!
So I don't know whats going on and why I can't apply themes at all. I open Rom Manager and press Reboot into Recovery, which of course reboots me into CWM. I go through the options to find the zip file and click apply it. It says applying theme, but thats it then goes back to the normal menu and I do reboot and nothing...
Its not just this theme though, I have tried Dark Soul and others.. So something is going on with my phone. Am I doing everything correct?
EDIT.. Thats what I was doing wrong. I was using ROM manager to reboot into Clockwork Mod instead of just using the powerbutton option of reboot into Recovery.. Completely different menu when I do that and that worked.
Where do I get this Taplock everyone is talking about?
And what is the difference between Taplock and ASOP?

General Info
I do not have a Nexus S to test this on, so I would appreciate it if someone could a.) alert me, preferably on twitter, when a new build is made, and b.) let me know if the theme I post here works.
This theme is extensive with over 2000 edited .png files and more than 35 .xml files.
There are no icons included with this theme. If you would like icons, then you can use ADW.Launcher or ADW EX download Minimalist - ADW Theme.
If you would like to donate to me for my work in this theme, then you can download the Donate version of the above mentioned theme. Search for "Minimalist Donate - ADW Theme" to find it.
If you would like to port this theme to any other device or use any part of it for your own doing, then you can download my images and edited .xml files from this post.
You do not have to ask me if you can port this or use any part of it. You do not have to credit me for any of my work in this theme.
I will not be checking this page frequently, but I will try to answer any questions posted here whenever I update the links. If you want a quicker answer, then I suggest saying something to me on Twitter (@david1171_).
This theme is for the official CM7 Nightly ROMs.
Theme Info
The widgets are transparent with white text. I recommend using a dark wallpaper.
The font included in the theme is the Ubuntu font.
If you are using Amon_RA's recovery and the theme is not applying after flashing, then you need to use clockwork recovery.

Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now
Animations by rover.prince - http://bit.ly/iejwtm
I take no credit whatsoever for these animations.
I have taken them from rover.prince's theme at the request of some users.
Here is the thread where I got the animations.
Apply this with MetaMorph.
Very nice! Like it a lot, good work man
like this theme a lot. Is it possible to use default gingerbread look on the keyboard?
Thanks
Thanks for this! I was the one you emailed about this theme and the NS, and I'm really glad you made a version for this phone. It works without a hitch, and combined with the ADW theme you made, I now have a really good looking phone =)
Updated to cm_crespo_full-15.zip.
This has the new 2.2.11 version of the market in it, so if your market is still stock after flashing this theme, then you need to go to settings/applications/market and press uninstall updates.

Take the LatinIME.apk from /system/app/ of the Nightly build you are using and push/place in /system/app/ on your phone.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb shell reboot
or you can place it there with a file explorer with root access, but I recommend the above method as you stop your phone, so you shouldn't have to worry about any unnecessary force closes.
Updated to cm_crespo_full-16.zip.
would really appreciate if anyone is able to just get the pull down modifications as an update.zip?

New button and textfield images, not a big difference but something I have wanted to get done for a while.
Fixed DeskClock time text issue in landscape
Added Morph to OP for lockscreen icons for those that do not like completely transparent lockscreen. Please read the instructions and do exactly as they say.
Edit1: Also, I believe with the next release, I am going to restructure the way the links are set up in the OP. As it stands right now, it is an ineffective model that takes up a lot of unnecessary space. As anyone who follows me on twitter knows, when I mention my updates on there, I just link to a folder on media that contains folders of each supported device, then in that folder are the theme files for each device. If I go to just having a link to that main folder containing all the sub folders like I do on twitter, then I do not have to go about updating the links in 9 different threads with each release, and I do not have a space for old download files, since they can be gotten from the same place as the current download file. I think this method will make for a less cluttered OP, and save time overall.
Updated to cm_crespo_full-27.zip.
Working fine on 28, but you do lose the screen on/off animations....
mine works i had an issue with running spare parts on screen animations fast if u have that on turn it off should work then
Theme created to be used by MetaMorph, please don't try to flash the file. The .zip is attached to the post.
(TL;DR)
I was trying to make a minimalistic theme for my phone without modding anything, but those green Gingerbread icons were cramping my style. So I went and made these simple manual modifications for just myself, because, surprisingly, I found them nowhere else online, so I'm releasing them packaged so they can be applied using MetaMorph.
I realize that the world does not in fact revolve around me, and that you guys use different applications/do different things, so that's why I intend to keep this "updated". Please request any icons and I will make them and add them in updates.
(/TL;DR)
(READ, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT)
I've only used this package on Serendipity 4.3, but the icon files should be universal, however I will not make any promises. If you're brave enough, please test this on your phone and get back to me. I'll keep a list of compatible phones in the second post as well.
Also note that the LauncherPro dock and icons are not currently packaged with this theme. When I get to it (sometime later today/tomorrow), I will upload another zip with anything necessary for LauncherPro.
Same goes for my lockscreen. I'm using a modded WidgetLocker, and I will upload the files sometime later today or tomorrow, but I will not upload the APK, as it's a paid app.
I'll write up a tutorial on how to mod WidgetLocker in the third post.
(/r,yldoi)
The changelog can be found in the second post!
Currently themed:
Gmail (status icons only)
framework-res (most icons in status bar)
Vending (status icons only)

Changelog
Currently known to work on...

Cognition 3.04
v1.1 (1/29/11)
Same as v1.0 with 'Extras' folder; includes:
Widget Locker Images
LauncherPro Dock
LauncherPro Launcher Icons
Wallpaper
Font
v1.0 (1/29/11)
Released!
Tutorials
When you download the file, unzip it. It is not the MetaMorph zip, but it has the MetaMorph zip inside of it (MetaMorph zip folder).
Steps to do things:
Install font
Install MinimalisticText Widget
Install/customize LauncherPro
Install/customize WidgetLocker
Apply MetaMorph Theme
1. Install Font
The font.zip file is included in the Extras folder. Copy that to the root of your SD card any way you want...
1. ADB (Assuming you're on Unix based OS, if not, replace commands as necessary)
1. $ cd ~/[font.zip directory]/
2. $ adb push font.zip /sdcard/font.zip2. Mount SD Card to Computer
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. If not, 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Development' > 'USB debugging'
2. Right click/copy font.zip to root of the phone's internal SD card.After font.zip is on your phone, boot into Clockwork Recovery and apply the zip file. Once that's done, reboot. Your font should be changed.
2. Install MinimalisticText Widget
This one is easy. Go to the Market and download MinimalisticText. Then create the widgets that I have using it. I will not walk you through how to create widgets with MinimalisticText, as it's too complicated to type up. Trust me, you'll figure it out.
3. Install/customize LauncherPro
If you do not already have LauncherPro installed, please do so now...
Once installed, put the LauncherPro dock and launcher icons inside of the DCIM folder on your internal SD card. You may also put the provided wallpaper there if you'd like to use it.
Editing the dock image:
On the home screen, press 'Preferences', then 'Appearance Settings'. 'Dock background' is the first option; select it.
Select 'Custom' and find the custom dock image. That's it!Assigning custom launcher icons:
Long press the space on the dock that you would like to change. Then select 'Change shortcut' and change it to what action you would like completed. Then select 'Change icon', and select 'Custom icon'. Browse to the icon you'd like to use and select it. Your done!
PS: To make the arrow on the left open the app drawer, long press it and press 'Change shortcut' and select 'App Drawer'.
4. Install/customize WidgetLocker
This is a bit more in-depth. There's a perfect tutorial in this thread. The only thing that you must do is after you compile and sign the APK, uninstall WidgetLocker from your phone, then instead of putting 'com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk' in the /data/app/ folder, put it into /system/app. Otherwise, if you reboot your phone, it will disappear.
5. Apply MetaMorph Theme
This one should be a given. Download and install MetaMorph, push the 'minimal-white.zip' to /sdcard/AndroidThemes, open MetaMorph and select the zip file as a new theme, then apply it. Be sure to apply framework-res.apk last! otherwise your phone may not install the other mods.
More to come soon, probably

Oh that's awesome... I'll install Perception when I get the chance (probably later today, the rest of the day is kinda busy) and see if I can figure it out.
The Framework.apk theme worked on Cog 3.04. Didn't try the rest of the them, just wanted the white status bar items.
Thanks, looks good.

That was the main reason I made this when it was for myself; glad you like it! Will add Cog to the list ~
couldn't get it to take on firefly, but it'd be awesome if it did ...
everytime i use metamorph something happens and i get put into a bootloop. i've given up on metamorph and start theming my own via 7-zip and root explorer.
Any word on the newer serendipity versions? I have this theme running on 4.3 like you stated in the first post and I love it, but I'm going to update to 5.7 and would like to know if anyone has tried it

Sorry I stopped/never did really update this; I don't really have the time.
But to answer your question: yes! It should work on any Serendipity versions. I'm not currently running the theme, and have lost interest in using it, so I'm not going to flash it over my Serendipity 5.7.
Anyway, one thing that may help you realize that this will work: unlike CWM themes, this one only replaces/adds files that are going to be changed. If the file isn't changed, then it will not replace it. By that, I don't mean that it will replace framework-res.apk. I mean that it will only replace the files inside framework-res.apk, so if there's anything that Mikey added (for example, the rotary lockscreen), it won't be touched. Only the themed icons will be changed. Hope that makes sense
dowloading this theme!!! looks sick
screenshots are broken.
Alright thanks man. I tried it on serendipity 5.7 and its working just as it did on 4.3, and looks just as cool. Since it looks like your pictures on the first page arent working, here's what the status bar looks like, which is the only file I flashed, for anyone interested. Goes great with all the white on my homescreen.

Styles.xml, I believe, in res>values. You have to decompile the framework-res.apk

No, I can't find the correct XML value to change. I changed the text color for TW Softkey... no change. Then i did TWmenusmall... also no change. Those two were both in twframework-res.apk, i couldn't find any values in framework-res that looked like they were relavent to the problem.
In other news, started working on more aosp-like version of this and it's looking good so far in my opinion. keeping the transparent pulldown of course.
Nice job!
I would like to add that I think the XML issues likely lie within Framework-res. I think if you search inside the folder for xmls consisting of whatever light colored background image is, you'd be able to find it (decompile framework-res first). If I get a chance, I'll check for it.
Thanks for bringing this back, I hope it gets more action than previously. Also, inside twframework-res, I think the original v1 of my theme had no transparency on the notification backgrounds, which may look better (I added 50% transparency, and I honestly think now that it's too much.)

I actually just found it last night in styles.xml. It was called TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item or something like that. But thank you. And thanks for the other tips. I actually liked the amount transparency you put on the notification bar. I guess for some reason I like to see what's underneath it. We did lower the transparency of the actually items on the notification bar though --the grey bars whatever they're called.
Very nice theme. I've always wanted a green styled notification bar. Currently flashed back to syndicateROM default theme, but will re-flash once black-on-black menu issue is fixed

We have the menu text color fixed but if you hit "more" on any menu, that window still has the problem so it wont be long now. As soon as that's fixed we'll update the OP with the new link.
Edit: fixed. OP update coming whenever flimsy gets on.
OP Updated!
do I need to do something special to run this? i have a fresh ec05 install. after i flash this theme and reboot, I press the power button to get to the lock screen, I get the vibrate notice thing where it vibrates 1x and then 2x quickly. Then the homescreen keeps rebooting.
Ive re-downloaded the file 3x
You need to be deodexed. Flash these in this order:
Wipe 3x, flash this
http://db.tt/bnopj3J
Reboot
Reboot to recovery flash this:
http://db.tt/Ot6Vobm
Then reboot
Reboot to recovery one more time, and follow theme instructions.

[Question]
Is the TSM tab on the '4-Tab' working with this theme? On SRF 1.2 it crashes and reboots my phone, regardless of what Custom App I choose.
