[G1, MT3G] Fallout 3 Metamorph [WIP]

I'm going to work on finish this throughout the week. I'm tweaking things based on feedback.
Thanks and Credit goes to:
beagz - For all the help with the themes
Stericson - For the great strides in themeing, and MetaMorph
Cyaongen - Great ROM's
Manup465 - transparent folders
brandenk
jbourque - black gloss popup
Ohsaka - colorChange.jar
sir*mez - Some framework and app menu icons from M-Blend
LatinSilEighty - keyboard
jonnybueno - framework and notifications from Smorg
If I owe you thanks and left you out, please let me know. i don't want to not credit someone for their work.
The first beta is using a lot of the menu icons from Sir*Mez's M_Blend Green, As I update I will be replacing certain things, but I wanted to get this out there so I can tweak it more based on feedback. Battery was borrowed from @zapote21
I'm still making some edits to the framework and dialer, I can make the links available if anyone is interested in it.
The new themes are done using Stericson's, Kastro and Riku's new MetaMorph method for themes. Instructions are in the 2nd post, including links. It is your responsibility to read the instructions, failure to do so will only make me laugh at you when you post "How do I make it work?"

Assuming you have the sdk downloaded and adb setup:
1. Download the white notifications file and put on the root of your sd.
2. Flash this as an update.zip
3. Download MetaMorph.zip
4. Inside MetaMorph.zip is a folder MetaMorph, extract that to your tools folder inside your sdk directory (so you should have a MetaMorph folder with 2 files inside of it.)
5. Create AndroidThemes folder in the root of your sdcard, place the Team-theme-full.zip inside. Once done, unmount your usb, but leave connected to PC
type the following (you can copy also, to paste in the command window, you MUST right click, CTRL+V does not work)
Code:

I've never played it, so I am open to suggestions of things to add into it.

Yeah you really should its a great game does the metamorph file work for 4.2.7.1 cm I just downloaded it an it said that it was for version 4.2.6

The MetaMorph will work for any 4.2.x, I just havent uploaded an update.zip yet to flash to change the notifications to white for 4.2.7.1 yet, that I will have uploaded a little later tonight. That will change your time and such to white, otherwise they will just stay black for now. You can use the MetaMorph now, flash the update when I get it up, and you will just have to reapply the MetaMorph's framework after that.

looks nice. i love the game, you should make a call of duty theme? that would be great.

great theme
I hate to waste a post but the title says it all only thing I can think of is putting the pipboy wallpaper in everything else is great

I'll search for the wallpapers, if you know of any give me a link and I'll add them in also.
Added notifications for 4.2.7.1 in the OP

Alright cool I can't sleep I've been looking @ old themes to tweak I have no idea how to theme but I know someone that does an I'll get on that now it shouldn't take long.

exactly lol
I have to same exact pic lol that is what I was talking about though

Ok cool, tomorrow if I have the time, I'll put an update with that wallpaper and if I can get a few more things done. I'll be out of town the rest of today until tomorrow morning and Sunday so if it dont happen Saturday, it'll be early next week.

He's official name is not a pipboy, just "vault boy".
Then you can see more materials about him
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_Boy#Vault_Boy_or_Pip-Boy.3F

I have the entire set of "loading slides" extracted from the PC version of the game. You know, the Vault 101 ads, the posters of the Brotherhood Of Steel helping Uncle Sam to his feet - all of those. Including the famous "PLEASE STAND BY" one.
If the OP or anyone else wants them, let me know.

I added the script version for download for anyone who likes that better. Still hoping for the screens so I can add them to the theme. Anyone else have idea's to further improve on this?

Still hoping for the new wallpapers
Also, The white notifications for 4.2.8 are now in the OP

Theme-Porter [v1.0] [Any Firmware / Rom Compatible] [WINDOWS]

Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Betas are spread out through-out the thread (they provide a lot more features)
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run batch script
- The new folder is now themed
Requirements: Windows environment
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.
NOTE: For now u can only transfer themes from 2.0+ to 2.0+ roms and pre 2.0 to pre 2.0 roms. Big reason is because of the mdpi folders whereas before there was only one. Will implement it as soon as possible.

amazing concept... and most likely awesome work like your others.. keep them coming!

definitely gonna give this a try .....
thanks

has anyone actually tried this?
I would try it myself but i don't have the time atm.

Had a minor hiccup in my script , fixed/uploaded.

I just tested this script by doing the following :
1. adb pulled /system/app and /system/framework from my phone into the old folder
2. place cm6 into new folder
3. Ran script
4. Pushed files to phone and it works perfectly

Sorry. I'm relatively new to this, so how do I get the framework/app?

excellentnuke said:

Well u can either extract app/framework from ur theme's update.zip or pull it from ur phone by doing
adb pull /system/app <drag app folder from theme-porter folder here>
adb pull /system/framework <drag framework folder from theme-porter folder here>

HOLY SHIZEN!
now if u can possibly implement the transformation of HDPI to MDPI id pay u at least 20-30 bucks for that..
in the interim..thank u very much for your contribution!

Hmm interesting idea. Certainly possible, however not all images are to be resized equally, some more than others. I'll look into it, can't promise though
Edit: Very hard to do, basically u'll have to have a list of image filenames where each must be noted as to what resolution they must be on a mdpi device.

im sort of new to this. i have a question.
will this work if im using an update.zip theme in the old folder
and a clean rom in the new folder?
ex.
i wanna port the Elegance Theme for SuperD for Dream
to
SuperE for Dream.
and another question.
if this is how it will work
can i then create an update.zip out of what comes from the new folder?

As i said i'll improve it if ppl find this script to be useful, i'll base it on # of downloads lol
For now u'll have to extract the framework and app folder from elegance theme for dream into old folder and extract framework and app folder from super e to new folder. Then run script, once done ur new folder's stuff will be themed.

do i have to then push the files from the new folder over or can i use your create update.zip script and flash the new themed apps and framework?

Yes u can do that or u can just push the files. Yea an update to this will prolly have an option to make the new folder into an update.zip.

thanks man. the combinations of these 2 scripts will help me to make a rom how i want it.
great work. keep it up

Ok so the # of downloads have reached my defintion of *in demand*
So these are the changes im thinkin of bringing, feel free to make suggestions.
- Make the "new folder" into an update.zip once the script has run through its paces
- Have an option to pull app/framework directly from ur phone
Those are the only 2 i can see as being useful, if anymore let me know.

crossing platforms doesnt work.
tried to move the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7 (which is android 2.1)
to SuperD 1.11 (which is android 1.6)
i also tried transfering Elegance for SuperD 1.11
to SuperE 1.0.3
the fonts transfered. nothing else did.
but i did successfully transfer the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7
to SuperE 1.0.3

[Release][Program] Universal Theme Porter (Beta)

I've decided to go ahead and make a tool mostly for themers to make their life of porting the endless amounts of pictures from rom to rom. Now, this doesn't mean users cant use this as well, but PLEASE make a nandroid before hand. It's in beta so don't expect it to be perfect. I have an auto updater with it as well so ill be updating it that way.
*** i had no idea there was a working theme porter on here untill after i made this. I tried i think 1.3 and it failed so i decided to make my own. I just came across the 1.0 posted last month.
WILL NOT PORT GAPPS IF ITS NOT IN THE STOCK ROM.
Im currently working on a fix for that, if you want gapps, throw them in the stock rom your self and then port it.
Notes:
This has only been tested on Motorola Droid.
Instructions:
1. Make a nandroid. I don't want to hear whining if it doesn't work and you lose everything. I'm also not responsible if this bricks your phone. Even if it does, you have recovery, then you have SBF.
2. Download, DO NOT simply just run if your using IE (Who uses IE anymore...?)
3. Select the theme as "Select Theme".
4. Select the STOCK rom you are running as "Select Stock Rom".
5. Hit port and sit back and watch.
Limitations:
Only supports Update.zip formats, for now. i may support Meta Morphs in the future.
Only moves .pngs to new rom, Meaning if the theme has custom .xmls in it, it WONT port.
Change log:
Code:
Version: 1.0:
Ability to port themes from one rom to another.
Progress bars on extracting / moving (Title of console window)
Output log on screen (Not great, will work on.)
Version 1.1:
Added Auto Updater.
Added some crash fixes.
Version 1.2:
Fixed bug where if theme has no themed /system/app's it would crash.
Version 1.5 (Initial Release):
Fixed Progress bar on extracting / moving to archive.
Implemented Suggestion/bug reporting system.
Some general bug fixes.
Added audio on port completion.
Version 1.5.1.0
Added options form.
-Change colors of output console.
-Save last used .zips (toggle)
-Play sound on port completion (toggle)
-Fade out on exit (toggle)
Download:

Hmm so it will port the default wallpaper xD

Did you heard about MetaMorph? From your description I think it does exactly the same and more and it's some kind of standard in theming world.

I've heard of people having lots of issues with metamorph over a standard update.zip, and at least in the moto droid community we use update.zip's over metamorph's especially since metamorph was buggy with Froyo for the longest time, I do not know if it still is or not.

Oops, i meant it'll only port over .pngs. sorry for the typo lol

Hey cool, haven't tried it but does it work for porting eclair/froyo themes to cupcake/donut roms ? and vice-versa ? A lot has changed since the firmwares (including some .9 being changed to .png and vice versa). Checkout the last beta i posted, it had support for that, u cud prolly use most of the schemes.
@Brut, correct this is a lot like metamorph but metamorph is firmware dependant whereas this isnt/shudnt be. For eg, title_bar in pre eclair/froyo roms was a .png and now is a .9 png. Metamorph just inserts images and hence would cause problems. This only brings over files if they match and in some cases like my script renames them to match the firmware's naming convention (eg, pre-eclair/froyo didnt have mdpi,hdpi, just plain drawable). Hope that clears the air.
Also another thing that makes these have the upperhand to metamorph is the capability to take a dump of ur phone, put the dump of a rom u want to try and BAM ur theme is ported to that rom. Whereas with metamorph, id have to go out and look for the individual morphs that helped me accomplish the look/feel of my phone.

Hey, i actually have not had a chance to look at donut/eclair themes. My first Android phone was the moto droid so ive never done anything with a donut rom. i will make sure to take a look into that though. Ill go take a look at your latest beta now and see what i can come up with. thanks
Edit: i just took a look at your script and very nice work i have to say also, i may in the future decide to add support to 1.6 and lower to 2.0 +. it'll port most of it over as is except for the .9 and everything that does get ported over wont be resized properly as it does in yours. This should port eclair to froyo fine. ive actually ported over a mdpi to hdpi just fine with this so im assuming it works fine. in anycase thanks for the heads up.

Ahh, ok, thanks for explanation.
But I don't understand, how such tool would work so it'll be flexible and reliable. I mean... it would need to guess what to do. Human could look at files and say: "Ohh, this file was moved here, so I should rename it to xxx.", but what about the computer? How it will know how to port themes to other platforms? Of course you could implement hooks for specific situations as porting between eclair and froyo. But what about custom frameworks from manufacturers? What about changes made by themers? I could add, rename, remove anything I want, so how this tool will know, what I did and how to port my changes to other systems?
Maybe I don't understand something.

Correct its definately not perfect and apks modified more than theming ie smali\xml edit will have to be left out.
Also user must select which firmware theme is and which rom is.
Still its a step up from metamorph imho. In the end the user must recognize a products limitation and react accordingly.

Just go inside of the final folder and zip all the contents with a winzip, and make sure it zips as a zip file and not a zipx. after you're done you can use a program to sign your zip like RegawMOD Zip Signer v1.0.

The supplied zip file is not flashable for some reason - have had to manually add them to a ROM.

Going to test this out tomorrow. Any success stories?

I'm giving this a run, but I'm trying to port an hdpi theme to mdpi... will let you know the results. All in all, this is really nice work!!!

Unfortunately for me, the theme I wanted to port is giving me issues because it's a UI rather than a theme. I was trying to get DarkEdge on my Eris. I did want to say though that every thing worked beautifully and this is really an incredible resource for the android community.
From me to you on Cyanogentazz [insert latest version here] Eris

This works great now that it get that instant update! Thanks for the work!

One Click Theme Injector (Updated 11/15) With HDPI to MDPI resizing!! RE-READ THE OP

READ THIS FIRST:
The original post is here alot of questions have been answered, here browse around there first.
UPDATE 9 PATCH TWEAKS:
This new version will port your favorite hdpi theme to an mdpi rom... yes 9 patch resizing. I want to be the first to say this is not 100% and it probably never will be, and over the next couple of days we can discuss this.
What it will do is resize every 9 patch in a rom and move it over to the mdpi theme. Yes this is the same method I used for all my hdpi ports.
What it might not get is the 9 patching data correctly, which means that it might get stretched incorrectly, most times you won't noticed but others it will be obvious. This will happen anywhere from 1% to 30% of the 9 patch pngs in a port, but all you will need to do is redraw them using the 9 patch draw tool in the adb folder.
My next version will have this included along with some instructions, along with font and boot animation porting.
Please respect other peoples work. If you port a theme using this and repost it don't just link back to the op... mention the author and give them props.
Also want to say I spent a looooong time trying to figure this out, and I tried many different ways, and I'm open to others suggestion on making this better
Oh and don't forget to to install Image Magick, its included and the HDPI to MDPI will not work without this.
This tool will take your favorite theme and inject it into your favorite rom... provided they are compatible with each other (might work if they aren't but thats for later). I did this cause alot of themers and people who like themes are always waiting for the nightly theme to get applied, well this will do it for you.
You can think of this as almost a theme installer.
INSTRUCTIONS by Norm12:
1. Download and extract.
1.5 Install image magick from the image magick folder... just run the installer and its ready to go. This is important the hdpi to mdpi will not work without it.
2. Copy both the theme and rom into the 1 click folder---the extracted one.
3. Open the 1-click folder and you should see your theme, rom, lib folder, and the injector script.
4. Doubleclick on the injector script----if you did everything correct it will open a cmd prompt
5. Enter the names of the rom and theme when asked...I did use the exact names and added ".zip" to the end.
5.5 Answer y if this is an hdpi to mdpi port otherwise n.
6. Hit enter and wait. When it is really done it will auto-close the cmd prompt. This may take 15 minutes.
7. Your newly themed rom will be in the same folder as the unthemed rom and theme zips. If it worked it should be slightly larger than the original rom. Enjoy
!!!IMPORTANT... BECAUSE 7ZIP SHOWS OUTPUT IGNORE THE "EVERYTHING IS OK" LET THE SCRIPT FINISH WHEN ITS DONE IT WILL CLOSE ITSELF IF YOU DOUBLE CLICKED IT OR IT WILL RETURN TO COMMAND PROMPT!!!
Ignore any errors your seeing while it runs, this is normal like before let it run completely through till it closes out.
Run time could be up too 20 minutes (60 with HDPI to MDPI) on a big theme/rom, but faster that waiting!
You must now install Image Magick if you would like to use the hdpi to mdpi resizing!
ISSUES:
There also seems to be an issue with the gallery3d.apk and the differences in the mdpi and hdpi version. For now remove this from the theme your porting otherwise it won't come out right.
Update 4:
HDPI to MDPI porting!!!!!
Update 3:
Removed verbose but added optopng verbose just let it run. It works but you have to let it finish, the cmd window will close it self.
Update 2:
Added verbose output so that you guys will know to close it out before its done...even tho 7zip says everything is ok... just let it do its thing.
Update 1:
Had the optimization stuff commented out... sorry its back on.
Script will clean up now after it finishes.
JAVA CLASSPATH:
Its needed for the signer to work properly goto a command prompt and type in java -version. if you get and error back java is not in your classpath and needs to be.
just right click on my computer, then goto properties, then click on the advanced tab, at the bottom click on the "Environment Variable" button.
Now click on the new button... the one on the bottom for system variable and put in this
variable name: JAVA_HOME
variable value: C:\<path-to-where-java-is>
Now click ok and select the path system variable and then click edit. IMPORTANT only append to the end of the value this... ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
then click ok and ok out of all those windows and open a new command prompt and type java -version you should get no error if you do your path to java was wrong follow the steps above again and make sure the path is correct.
WHAT THIS WON'T DO:
It won't port over xml or smali edits.
It wont port over what it can't find... so if your theme has a facebook widget or something but the rom does not then it will ignore that.
It will not port over fonts or anything other than the framework-res.apk and all the themes apks in the system/app folder. If this is popular Maybe other stuff can get included.
WHAT THIS WILL DO:
Shrink a 9 patch from HDPI size to MDPI size.
Push over all the themes pngs from the apk with it to the roms matching apk.
Optimize every png in the theme you are porting over.
Zip align all the apks in your newly themed rom.
Sign the newly themed rom.
Give me feed back.
I might make this easier and make the injector steal the apks for injection right from your phone and then inject and make a flashable to put right back on... tell me what you think.

Thank you. hasn't caught on in this forum yet i guess.

I'll try this out now, this seems easier than the theme porter that's already on the forum.

Looks promising! I will try it out right now!

will this work for porting themes to the HTC Tattoo?? does it rescale the theme to suite the phone?

This will port any theme to any rom... provided they are compatible. So while you can go from a sense theme and inject it into a AOSP rom, it probably won't catch everything since it works off of matches. It also does not have any scaling included.
The biggest thing with this is that the theme and rom have to have a same file structure so all rom come and the have the system/app folder and the system/framework/framework-res.apk, this is what the injector looks for. So honestly you could build a theme from a buncha different apks from other themes it will inject that into your rom and give you back a flashable zip. So a good theme structure example would be Gommarah's Black Mod in the HERO CDMA forum.
I do however have a way to port HDPI theme to and MDPI ROM but its not 100%... if I get enough request I'll put it in its just the process I use to accomplish this is very complicated and requires some extra software, its also adds a significant overhead to the script run time (and 3x longer to run) It works in the since the it will shrink the HDPI 9patch png but the 9 patch data is wrong about 10-20% of the time. This won't cause the roms to force close but will just make some of the 9patch pngs to stretch wrong and would require a simple edit in the 9patch draw to fix it.

+1 for hdpi to mdpi scaling!

Any others want the hdpi to mdpi scaling? I've considered releasing it.

Just curious if I did this right as I am still fairly new to this whole scene and this whole process seemed to work way to easy. But basically I got both the rom and theme converted and then signed both zips. Does that mean that I can now successfully flash the new theme? Thanks in advance!

There is no need to sign anything, the injector will sign the final output zip. Take your theme zip and your rom zip and place it in the folder next to the script. Then just run the script when its finished you will get a a new zip called themed-<roms-name>.zip.... this is ready to flash (optoed, align and signed).

First of all,great software worked as a charm...
I subscribe to the resizing,all the best themes are for HDPI...would make this the best theming tool out there for android

thanks that did it!

what if the rom needs has a seperate gapps.zip with it? thanks!

Just put the gapps system/app files into your ROM's system/app files. Then inject your theme, the tool does the rest

thanks again for the help! yall really helped, and rather quickly too!

Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done

lol... +1

Now I can port my themes for the whole world to share. Thanks for the find...and thanks for sharing.
sent using a phone.

Now what would really be nice would be if someone designed an .apk that did this on the phone(while adding the originals to a "theme-revert.zip" and the new theme to "theme.zip"). Then you just make one theme and post the link to the .apk.
The closest i ever found was zipthemer but it didnt work every time and thats no good.
If only someone could port the open source t-mobile theme choser to samsuck.
So this is it until someone who knows how to code jumps on that idea lol. Still glad it exists and that i bumped into it. And even more so that two of main people i had hoped would make use of it appear to be willing to do just that.

You bet. If this works, there are so many things that can be done, oh man. It will rain themes, well at least for FireFly to start with.
Again, thanks for pointing this out.

From the limited testing ive done it seems to be working 100%. The only real potential problem im seeing (and the script might have a way to handel it) is porting a theme that uses drawable-hdpi to an apk that has both an hdpi AND hdpi-v4 folder in it. I would hope its defaulting hdpi to hdpi-v4. Lol... But i dont know.
Edit: and even that hope is based on the possible incorrect assumption that andriod will allways pull from the v4 folder given the choice? Anyone care to enlighten me?

I think it does. Isn't the non-v4 there for compatibility reasons with older os versions? I saw something like that a little while ago, in a theming guide
Herp derp Captivate XDA app.

Well after a lot of testing i can safely say that it does not know how to handle hdpi vs hdpi-v4. And since our rom maintainers have decided to mix and match at will without smoothing anything out this script will not work a large majority of the time, depending on what rom you are on.
Quickish fix is to go into the apk before using the script and renaming all the drawable folders to match both the "themed" and "to be themed" apks. Then after the processes you can go in and rename them back to there original names.
............. Im also assuming that if you kept the folder name changes the xml wouldnt know where to look for the images???? I know little to nothing about how android handels that, if someone would like to chime in please do.

Well I most definitely be playing with it this weekend. Thanks again for the info.

Maybe it could be tweaked.
Like after line 55(like roms) (and line 130 pre to post)
Code:
if EXIST "%~dp0old\%dcrt%\%%~nF\res\drawable-hdpi-v4" (rename "%~dp0old\%dcrt%\%%~nF\res\drawable-hdpi-v4" drawable-mdpi)
if EXIST "%~dp0old\%dcrt%\%%~nF\res\drawable-en-hdpi-v4" (rename "%~dp0old\%dcrt%\%%~nF\res\drawable-en-hdpi-v4" drawable-en-mdpi)
Line 240 seems to be for eclair. Most roms here are froyo.
It is possible. Daneshm90 knows his stuff and keeps it fairly simple. If you come up with something he would probably add it.
I will see what I can come up with.
Edit: Extracted file to C:\Theme-Porter_beta_3.
I added the above lines to to the script at lline 57 and 58.
Added files per directions. No errors. Changed files are dated 3/17. Untouched files still old date.
I may reflash soon to test it. Will follow up.

Looks like that would take it one step closer. The main problem would still exist with those changes. It wont take images from a drawable-hdpi folder and migrate them to a drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. I posted in the op and asked if there might be a way for him to add an option to force the images into the other directory. I would assume it would be similar to part of what the script does to handle hdpi to mdpi conversions.
