MetaMorph script instructions
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:
cd\
cd your-sdk-directory
cd tools
adb remount
adb push MetaMorph /system/bin
adb shell
cd system/bin
chmod 0755 mm.sh
chmod 0755 /system/bin/zip
mm.sh -i
Press 1 for full theme
Press the number for Fallout3-theme
Press 1 to continue
Once it is complete it will give you the command prompt again (#)
Once back to the command prompt type
Code:
reboot
Your phone will reboot, then your set to go

Longhorns Blow!!!!!
ROLL TIDE!!!!!
I'm not a fan of either so I don't care either way, but Longhorns was requested, Tide wasn't. I have a Tide theme too.
sorry for questions flashed white notifications no problems went to flash frameworks res and it says not a valid theme control file.
You just have to reapply that part of the MetaMorph file that you did before. So open the MetaMorph app, chose existing theme, navigate to the folder where you have the Texas-MM file. Pick the folder instead of the zip, inside the folder there is a Texas-mm.thm file select that. Instead of doing the whole theme though, you only need to select the framework-res.apk and apply it.
I dont like Texas...........................but this Texas Longhorns Theme is off the chain...........Still-------->> SAINTS all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever since I applied this theme my market app crashes tried to reapply vending.apk using MM to no avail. Any ideas? The market downloads and as soon as it starts to install i get FC

I applied it again, it did it to me the first time. I cleared the market cache and went to downloaded something and it installed fine. So just clear your market cache. If it still does it for you let me know.

I've never used GDE so I don't know how it imports from the stock theme. I know the other Home replacements allow you to chose the stock theme, I'd assume GDE has a similar feature?

Hey themers and modders,
I saw somewhere there was a transparent HTC_IME in a theme.
thing is, I dont remember what theme it is.
So my request it for someone to make the HTC_IME from here
thanks in advance.
agreed... that would be nice. i'm actually working on getting it now, if i do i'll post it here
WOuld be nice to se a screenshot of what you are talking about.

Nice, keep us posted here if you make any progress.

Would love to post it. but I can't find the original theme that had the IME. I can't remember the name. and I can't remember if its in here or the Dream Theme forum.
edit : found the original thread with the transparent HTC_IME
link
its the 8th picture in the first post.
thing is, i am not sure if its based on the original HTC_IME (that requires htc framework files) or the one modified to run on its own (like the one i linked to in my OP).
I have this one, its stock with 50% opacity added to the background. If you need it completely transparent I can do that for you just let me know.

- download astro file manager from the market
- put a copy of htc_ime.apk on your sd card
- select this file in astro, then select app manager
- press the 'uninstall' button
- select the htc_ime.apk file again
- this time, install it
this will remove the existing version which is causing the conflict and let you reinstall the new themed version.
for CM 4.2.3.1 just push the apk to /system/app/ using adb. reboot and you're done
NOTE: This will work with *ANY* rom/theme. As long as you can get MetaMorph running, its should work.
To flash simply put BlurAnimations.zip into the "AndroidThemes" directory on your sdcard, then go into terminal type the following:
Code:
su
mm.sh -i
Then follow the prompt. Select #2, then select the BlurAnimation.zip file, then once its done press 1 to select the frameworks-apk and hit enter to flash.
REBOOT is necessary after this.
Find out more info at the MetaMorph thread.
For those that have no clue what the Blur animations are:
-When you hit 'menu' key, it 'bounces' up and down before snapping into place.
-When you open or close apps, it zooms in and zooms out of the app image.
Before you needed to flash a theme that included these in order to use them. Now you can flash these on top of the default rom theme, or on top of ANY of your favorite themes.
To go back to defaults, simply flash your rom or theme back again.
(Technical info if anyone is interested: Blur animations reside in frameworks.apk in res/anim/ folder, there are about 45 files that you can pull and drop into any themes/roms and it'll work, this just does that job very very easily for you)
If anyone wants to do a little animation video/gif of this in action, please give me the link to post as example.
It only works on ASOP roms, not hero correct?
If metamorph works on hero roms (I'm not sure, try installing it) this should work on any rom as well. All it does is replaces files in frameworks.apk>res>anim which hero roms have as well.
Its better to do a nandroid backup before you run it though, just to be safe :]
This would probably work in hero roms, but not entirely sure, Just do a nandroid before testing.
Also, Awesome idea Prash, Blur animations on any rom without having to flash a theme, very nice.
Stericson
Thanks Prash,
Just wanted to let you know this worked great for my magic with the gchrome theme (gChrome-0.3.8-CY4.2-LS.zip). No FC's as reported in MM thread.
Not working in Rogers Mod :-(
Prash - I was trying to do this in "Enomther's Rogers Mod v1.9.1" and it says:
ERROR: The theme control file says that we are looking for the dir framework-res within /sdcard/AndroidThemes/BlurAnimations but it could not be found! Invalid theme.
I tried both options 1 and 2 (full theme / theme of my choice) - it is giving the above error when trying to apply the Sub Theme step :-(

Could you try again with the latest mm.sh files? I just tried the blur animations and it work fine. I'm sure even that rom has a frameworks-res directory, i usually do option 2, then pick the right file, then hit enter to apply.
Very cool, yet simple theme. Im lovin this new system for themes

Tried twice or thrice but ended up with the same error. Requested the frameqork-res.apk from enomther so that I can push it to the ROM to get the blur animations...
Not sure whether it is the issue with the ROM (since I ran it sucessfully in Cyan 4.3.2.1)
the blur animations work on hero. I am not sure if this method works on hero though, i would imagine since it is the same exact directory.
good job. works on dwang 1.13 on mt3g.
re-updated this but it doesn't work for the nexus for some reason only the bouncing part i tried everything even tried my own through searching..
Works just great on Cyanogen's 5.07 Test3 Rom for the Dream/Sapphire.
Very happy with it as on this Rom the animation style was "slide" instead of "zoom", and the latter is wayyyy cooler
So thanks! This makes my whole phone-experience much nicer

No problem glad I can help still trying to figure out how to make this work for Android 2.1 phones.
-------------------------------------
sent from my beos computer
I am using an Android 2.1 phone...
[Edit] Got to admit: while applying this theme the telephone reboots by itself (during the update). After booting up all works fine though. Just applied the new DarkStar theme which removed the blur-effect so after flashing that theme I Metamorphed this Blur morph again, phone rebooted, and works well yet again (Cyanogen 5 Test3 + hotfix + DarkStar 2 + Blur anims + Cloverdale's Blackbar + overclock kernel = phone heaven)
A Christmas theme was requested so I ported my Open Home theme. This is for the G1 and MyTouch. The MetaMorph files are for Android 1.6 ROMs, not for Hero ROMs
The base of this is my Ice Crystals theme.
To give credit where credit is due:

I didn't flash the white notifications before taking the screen shots., but if you flash that before apply the MetaMorph it will change your clock and the notifications to white, for example:
Any chance you can point in the direction of the info needed to create open home themes I would love to be able to spit out a few of those. I have searched but I can never find a template for open home or did you just use an existing apk.

The white notifications for 4.2.8 are now in the OP
v2 is now out with a Boot Screen
I placed the White Notifications for 4.2.8.1 in the OP. If you apply the full MetaMorph, remove the Contacts.apk from Cyan's update, place it in your sdk/tools directory and push it to your phone. I have not redone all the dialers yet for the eclair dialer.
Code:
cd your-sdk-location
cd tools
adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app
this is my first time using metamorph, so it may just be me being a noob...when i apply christmas-theme-v2 it just gives an error for each part of the theme and doesn't apply anything. i am using the latest cm rom 4.2.8.1.
i tried applying Christmas-MM-apkv2.zip and it ran, then it rebooted and started force closing everything and kept rebooting.
am i doing something wrong here?

Well the first one without the MM in the name is meant for the script version that's why that one didnt work. For the fact that after you ran the version meant for the apk version and it did that, well thats not normal lol
Reboot into the console and run fix_persmissions, most likely something just happened when you applied it.

So it worked after you cleared off some of your card then?
well it worked once. i cleared space off the card, then i unzipped and replaced the theme, then applied it and it worked. then i realized that i didn't do the white notifications, so i flashed that and then tried again, i've tried 3 times and it gets to the framework portion and chunks. it never completes. i've let it run for over an hour. so i dunno if it's something with my phone now or what.

the last thing i see in logcat from MetaMorph is always:
I/MetaMorph( 1509): Executing [rm -r /system/framework/framework-res]
I/MetaMorph( 1509): Executing [rm -r /system/framework/framework-res] os.flush()
so it looks like it's failing to remove something, so it never gets to putting the new images in. probably why the system becomes unstable afterwards...
If I have time, Ill port it to 4.2.9.1 as an update.zip

hey i flashed the white notifcation zip but when i try to boot it just goes to a black screen after the boot screen. so idk if i did something wrong or if there is something wrong with the zip. hit me back text or pm. cell # 850 221 9779
This is a black status bar theme that looks just like the one you had back in the days when you were running the Eris OTA ROM. This theme is for medium resolution phones like the Eris, Hero, etc.
Gingerbread ROMs
Tested with GSB 1.5 and 2.2, but it should install just fine on any medium-res GB rom. For now there is a single theme file that updates the top status bar. I haven't yet ported the pull-down notification panel.
INSTALLATION FOR GINGERBREAD ROMs:
Download the attached HtcStatusBar4GB.zip file and then install using ZipThemer with these instructions. ZipThemer is free from the market.
CM6-based ROMs (Froyo)
I developed and tested it with KaosFroyo v32, v37, and v39. It will work on most any CM6 ROMs with the same screen resolution as the Eris.
There are two themes, one which just sets the color and icons in the top status bar, and another that updates the notification pull-down panel. Install both if you want the full HTC notification experience.
INSTALLATION FOR CM6 ROMs:
This is now a ZipThemer theme, but also remains compatible with MetaMorph.
1) Install the ZipThemer version 1.1 or above from the Market. Its free!
2) Download the attached HtcBlackStatusBarTheme.zip. Also download HtcNotificationPanel.zip for the full HTC notification experience. The first sets the top status bar, the second modifies the pull-down notification panel.
3) Fire up ZipThemer.
4) Click "+Theme" and browse to, then select, HtcBlackStatusBarTheme.zip. Repeat if you also want to install HtcNotificationPanel.zip.
5) Optionally select a different output zip file, and/or edit the ouptut filename using the "+Output" and "*Output" buttons.
6) If installing both the status bar and notification panel at the same time, expand the HtcBlackStatusBar item and uncheck the "CM Tweak Extras file", leaving the corresponding item checked under HtcNotificationBar.
7) Click "Built It!" to create the flashable update.zip file. The output file is signed and ready for flashing! But don't flash yet, you have to set the notification text colors in separate steps, so continuing on...
8) Press Menu, Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweak extras -> Select a Theme. Select HtcBlackStatusBar if you are only installing the status bar changes, or HtcNotificationPanel if installing both the bar and panel themes.
Click "OK".
10) Now boot into recovery and flash your update.
The file FroyoStatusBarTheme.zip can be used to return the status bar and notification panel to the stock Froyo look and feel. This theme also contains a cmparts_ui.xml for setting the clock and text colors back to black. E.g., same instructions as above to install.
kellinwood said:
The is a black status bar theme that looks just like the one you had
back in the days when you were running the OTA ROM.
Please read the KNOWN ISSUES section below.
INSTALLATION:
This is my first theme and I'm still learning. THIS IS NOT A
FLASHABLE ZIP FILE! The theme must be installed manually via adb commands, so you must have the Android SDK in order to install
this theme.
1) Make a Nandroid backup first!
2) Extract the zip file somewhere on your computer
3) Using adb, execute the following command:
adb push sdcard/cmparts_ui.xml /sdcard/cmparts_ui.xml
4) On your phone, press Menu, Settings -> Cayanogen Mod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweak extras -> Import colors from XML.
Click "OK". Do not reboot yet. This step sets the clock and date text color to white.
5) Using adb, execute the following commands:
adb remount
adb push system/framework/framework-res.apk.theme /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push system/app/Mms.apk.theme /system/app/Mms.apk
adb reboot
KNOWN ISSUES
The home screen background image always reverts to the default KaosFroyo image when installing.
Sometimes, after pushing the apk files to the device and rebooting, I would have to re-add my Google and Facebook accounts. The sympom is an empty contact list, no icons in the call log, etc.
On rare occasion the phone would enter a boot-loop after installing the apk files. If this happens pull the battery, boot into recovery, and restore from a known good nandroid backup.

Its fairly easy, I took the plunge a few days ago and all is well so far. Still much to learn for me the curve is steep.
Updated to MetaMorph. All the details are in the first post.
Thanks awesome. I miss Sense but I want Froyo. I can't wait for a Sense Froyo ROM for the Eris.
Thanks, glad you like it.
I don't miss Sense myself, I just think HTC did a better job with the status bar than Google did.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
One problem. The bottom graphic of the notification shade is still the original Vanilla white. Was it suppose to change to the black like in the Sense UI?
I also couldn't import the XML file via Cyanogen menu. There was no option to import. Only options were to load themes from SD and it only had Stock and Dark as options.
KaosFroyo v35.1
Sent from my FroyoEris using Tapatalk
This theme does not update the notification panel (the pull down part), so yes it remains stock white.
I haven't installed v35 yet... didn't realize it was out until just now. I'll post again after I get that sorted out.

Thanks. I fixed it myself. I could make this theme, I am just lazy =] That is why we need people like you <3
I've added another theme for the HTC pull-down notification panel. Download HtcNotificationPanel.zip and install it using the same seven steps.
I updated the instructions in the first post for CM6.1 (KaosFroyo v35 and beyond).
Thank you!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I love Froyo, but missed the HTC Status bar.

Once you copy the file into /sdcard/CMTheme, continue at step 6...
6) Press Menu, Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweak extras -> "Select a Theme". Select the "cmparts_ui" theme.
Click "OK" but do not reboot yet. Then proceed to step 7.
This is just what I've been looking for. Unfortunately it's such a chore to install it whenever I flash a new ROM I stopped doing it (I do not like the light status bar). It takes me at least two passes of about 15 steps and it never applies the first time. Metamorph always seems to reboot the device in the middle causing me to start over. It is possible to make this a flashable zip? That would be great.
I am installing this theme as we speak, but how long does Metamorph usually take to patch this stuff in? It's been doing the framework for like 10 minutes now.

It would be my first flashable zip, but I think I can handle it.
If I understand how they work, it means that entire files in the filesystem are replaced and not simply patched like MetaMorph does. In theory this means that the update.zip should be targeted at specific ROMs or major OS version (2.1, 2.2, etc).
Which ROM do you run most often and what is the OS version -- 2.1 or 2.2? Are you just upgrading the ROM versions or going from one ROM to another (e.g., from KaosFroyo to CELB, etc).
Also, are you installing just HtcBlackStatusBarTheme, or both HtcBlackStatusBarTheme.zip and HtcNotificationPanel.zip?
FYI, the MetaMorph delay setting really does help to stabalize the Metamorph install process. I've got mine set to 5000 and it only reboots when patching framework-res.apk, and the reboot seems to happen after it has successfully patched anyway.

MetaMorph usually crashes just after successfully patching framework-res.apk. Usually the device just reboots but in your case it appears to have hung so pull the battery. Be sure you set the Metamorph delay setting to the maximum value (5000). This seems to help a bit.
Also, apply the sub-themes one-by-one instead of using "apply all".

I use Kaos Froyo, currently on v37. I do flash both zip files and have gotten it to work a couple of times. I think it took four tries last time and I did have the max delay in MM.
Thanks for considering my request.

EDIT: To get any of these Swypes you are going to have to borrow a script from one of the themed Swypes that Eldrydotcom made.
Link >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279993
After you get that zip downloaded just go in and take the Swype Eldry made out and putt he Swype you want into the zip in the proper place. To be more exact:
1. Find the zip on your computer
2. Double click to open it. You don't have to extract it or anything.
3. Go into the system folder.
4. Open the app folder
5. Delete the current Swype in there and then put the one you want in there.
6. Rename the zip so you know what Swype is going to be put onto your phone.
7. Flash the zip in cwm
P.S. When flashing the script will say things and in my case I used the script for the Red and black Swype. It said something about it being for Red and Black Swype but that's just because that is hard coded into the script. It will put whatever Swype you have in the folder into it's home on your phone.
After flashing the ICS themed one I have on my phone right now my system force closed. I just had to reboot and it was fine. I don't know what caused it or if it has anything to do with any of this but I was fine after the reboot.
Also Check out Eldrys themed Swypes they are awesome. The red and black one went perfect with my phone when I was running Revolt with Revolted Red theme.
Remember hit the thanks if this helped and of sourse thanks Eldry for making the script to make this all possible

Yeah. I have to edit the OP I forgot that Swype is a system app not a user app on this phone.
Thanks for pointing that out.
