[Metamorph] Kawaz Advanced Launcher : 6 mods and 5 wallpapers inside (23.12.2009)

What is it ?
This is just two simple themed Advanced Launcher I use on my 32B with cyanogen 4.2.8.1 and Darkstar theme.
This is a metamorph mod, not an update.
As this is the first release, there's perhaps some bugs.
If someone want to use it in a theme, there's no problem, just let me know
Instructions :
Download
Standard version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_AL.zip
White version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_white_AL.zip
Arrow version : http://www.box.net/shared/85y0qqv2jc
Cube version : http://www.box.net/shared/z40q1dselg
Grey version : http://www.box.net/shared/lmnx20f08s
Hollow version : http://www.box.net/shared/6sdg95pnd3
And use it in Metamorph app (> 1.7). If you don't have yet Advanced Launcher, Metamorph will install it.
I think it can be used on any rom wich can use Advanced Launcher.
Thanks to :
Cachinjection for the initial Darkstar concept,
Feekyfrogy for the Darkstar theme from wich my mod is based on (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Bahnburner who has metamorphed Darkstar launcher (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Djengizz who motivated me unknowingly by sharing metamorphs and for hosting ,
Stericson for his awesome MetaMorph app,
Benjigarner for folder icons (http://benjigarner.deviantart.com/),
Siristhius for trash icon in white version (http://siristhius.deviantart.com/art/Trash-bin-icon-95130312),
And XDA in general

didn't work for me as well. I'm guessin' it's 'cuz of the update script. Said something was missing, thus making the addition/theme invalid. Looks great though! Can't wait to use it. Good job!

Its for MetaMorph, not a flash.
Good work man

Yeah..i didn't try to flash it. I used Metamorph, but it didn't work for me. Anyone have better luck? I just downloaded the zip to the root of my sdcard, then opened metamorph, picked the zip from the AndExplorer list from pick theme', but it gave me an error message.

I just looked at it,
The zip file and .thm file should have the same name
also
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.cpy
/system/app/
AdvancedLauncher.apk
/system/app/
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do here. The advanced launcher is still the Launcher.apk and the drawables are still the same. Just get rid of that Launcher folder, rename the AdvancedLauncher to just Launcher and the .thm file just needs to be
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.apk
/system/app/
For MetaMorph to work, the folder needs to be the exact name that the apk is.

oh, and by the way, for those of you who couldn't find the wallpaper he was talking about when they went to that site, just type in 'bamboo zen' when you go to the wallpaper link in the OP and you'll see it. It should be the first one. There's also an inverse one of it which looks pretty snazzy as well.

kool good to see some more darkstar offshoots, hope my next theme inspires such themeing projects.
just a quick one, i personally think that the the background image for the app draw chould do with some refining.
have fun yall

Hi,
Don't know why it doesn't work for everyone...
I'm using Metamoph 1.8.1. I just put the zip in /SDCARD/AndroidThemes/ (as Stericson said in his OP).
@Eessel : exact thanks.
@Jairomeo : zip and thm have the same name (it works on my phone)
I'm not exactly sure what i am trying to do in the .thm. I've just take the metamorph zip from Bahnburner's Darkstar Advanced Launcher and modify some pictures.
The metamorph install Advanced Launcher (with Launcher.cpy subtheme i think)and then themed it (with AdvancedLauncher.apk i think).
As it works for me i hope it can works for every one.
After the first time i use this metamorph, Avanced Launcher was successfully installed and i just have to apply AdvancedLauncher.apk subtheme, not Launcher.cpy.
I've just done a test :
update to cyan 4.2.9.1 -> return to standard cyan launcher
apply kawaz_white metamorph -> advanced launcher is installed and themed...
@cacheinjection : yes, i agree. I've try a semi-transparent image, but have some bugs with it. Perhaps in next version if i found a solution.
Thanks all for comments.
Finally, is there someone use it with success ?

OK !! I anderstand what happend !
I've try to re-download my mod and have seen that my host rename it !
So, i'm going to update the OP with that :
you should rename the donloaded file :
Kawaz_AL.zip for the standard mod
Kawaz_white_AL.zip for the white mod
Sorry for that.

Hello,
When I use a semi-transparent background for menu, i've a bug :
Normal :
With bug :
Icons are in double or triple...
Anybody knows why ?

anyone get this to work with Metamorph 1.7? I am having the same error...

Ive updated to last metamorph (1.8.1) and still having the error message ("id file could not be read or is missing ..").
I've tried with both black and white version, downloaded the files twice nothing work.
And that's a shame, this launcher look real damn good.
Im running Dwang 1.5, with metamorphed theme mainly borrowing to dark star.
Dont know what Im missing, if anybody does, please let me know

Have you rename the downloaded file as i add in the first post ?

Hi,
New mirror added to the first post. You did'nt have to rename files with it.
Thanks a lot Djengizz !
Please let me know if somebody can use those mods now.

Is there any way to use this skin on the home screen only? I just can't bear to go back to three screens (which is what Advanced Launcher does to my baby).

+1 for this - deleted as soon as I saw that I couldn't use it without losing 2 screens.

[THEME/METAMORPH] Espresso [v0.3] [Blue Magic and SuperCSDIv4] [3/26/10]

Alright, well this is my first "theme". Well not really a theme, i just put it together from different files on the forums. I take no credit for any of the images and stuff in this theme
Anyways, i think the Blue Magic theme is just plain ugly, so i decided to fix that once and for all.
Update.zip for Blue Magic MKIIr1 and SuperCSDIv4.
Metamorph should work for any rom.
Note: For Metamorph, You must have Eclair Dialer for the contacts.apk images to work.
Includes:
- Advanced Launcher
- Eclair Dialer
- Eclair Icons
- Espresso Launcher and framerwork-res images
- White Text for clock
NOTE: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!
Download is in Second Post

v0.3 has been released!

I am BEGGING you. Please make this theme for SuperCSDIv4.
I will thank you FOREVER. And so will a LOT of people.
I recently made a video on SuperCSDI and the only thing it was lacking was a nice theme like this one!
PLEASE! LOL =D
-XOXO Chris

haha alright. Ill try my best porting it.

Ported over to SuperCSDIv4! Download, flash, and enjoy!

Gonna give this a shot now.
edit: Flashed it over CSDIv4 w MLIGN fix and it works beautifully.
One thing I noticed so far that could use a change is the icon highlights in the app drawer. The text is white when your looking at them but if you highlight one...the text turns black and you can't read the name of the app anymore. Same exact problem with Fast Test... I love the icon highlights...but I don't understand why it has to change the text to black on highlight.
Please fix =)

Can we get an update that doesn"t have the advanced launcher? Can we get a themed regular 5 screen launcher please? Advance launcher is slower and too unstable. Love the theme BTW.

Okay. Didn't know the regular launcher was still in there. Thanks.

ya i noticed that too. Ill try to fix it but have no idea how. Ill take a look at it.
As for the advanced launcher, it was the only alternative to Blue Magic and default in SuperCSDIv4. I plan to release a metamorph of this version very soon so you can flash it to which ever donut rom u like.

thanks for making blue magic pretty lol

Weird, when I try to flash it I get
E:Failure at line 1:
copy_dir PACKAGE:app SYSTEM:app
Installation aborted.
Why would that be?

[06/22/10] ReDrUm Theme for Eclair MDPI [METAMORPH]

hEy Yo PpL!
Time now for another theme from yours truly. I decided to go with a red style this time, and maybe I will make different colors of this theme, if the desire for it comes up. I also decided to make this a metamorph so that everyone is happy and everyone is happy at the end of the day. Also makes it easier on me so I don't have to make a gazillion different versions. Lol. I know it's a lot of files to morph, but trust me, it will be worth it once it's all done...if you're into red themes, that is...lol
THANKS TO: Stericson, Cyanogen, Ander Webbs, Eliot Stocker, LostEden, SIRMez, Ted417, and Castaway1
HOW TO METAMORPH THESE FILES:
Go into the Android Market, and search for Metamorph, and then download and install. Once it's done installing, open Metamorph, and it will ask to do some checks and when the Superuser Permissions come up, click Allow, making sure that 'Remember' is checked on...once that is done, just press on 'Unzip/Extract new theme' and navigate to where you downloaded the file. Click on the zip file, and then it should unzip it for you automatically. Click 'Close' on the pop up, and then click on 'Apply All!' which should appear on the bottom right button, then just wait for it to do its thing. If a warning comes up about the framework edit, just hit continue. Once you press the home button, as is usual of metamorph edits, there will be a brief pause and black screen while the page reloads, and it should be done. Hope I explained it well for you. Let me know if you have any problems.
IF YOU ARE USING A CM BASED ROM To change the color of the clock/date/network/notifications, you can do so in Spare Parts. For other roms, you'll probably have black text..lol
REQUIREMENT: Download and flash this first IN RECOVERY!!! This is ADW's launcher v0.8.6(his latest), which i find to work perfectly with this theme, but you can use any version you desire, and it will still work: http://www.jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/ADWLauncher8.6_Replacement_MDPI.zip
FURTHER TIPS: Wallpaper in screenshots is included in theme under 'Wallpaper > Wallpaper Gallery '. And also..to get back to your regular rom and gapps after using this theme, just go into recovery and flash gapps, then flash your rom...or if you are using a ROM with gapps already installed, just flash the rom over this to nullify the changes
But without any further talking..I give you:
ReDrUm Theme: THEME DOWNLOAD FOUND HERE
Screenshots Here:

2. extract the file and inside you will get a folder named "iPhoneToday"
3. just copy this folder in your main memory or sd cards in /program files/ and replace the existing iphonetoday folder. (before copying quit iphonetoday)
4. From my iphonetoday folder copy the fonts from the folder named "fonts for clock and date" and paste it into your /windows/fonts/ folder ...
5. restart the iphone today plugin ....(the desktop version) not the plugin one
and feel the SeNsAtIon of SENSE 3.0
the theme has some icons linked to other programs which are in my device ..so when u use the theme edit all icons to your programs on your device...and the dockbar at the bottom has three icons ..leftmost is the next page command, middle one is the dialer link(i use iconsoft phonex) and the right most is the options link for iphone today....u can customise them to your likings..
