sO....HeRe It Is!
NOW HAS OVER 1,000 DOWNLOADS! THANKS! 05/08/10
*NEW UPDATE 05/06/10* So, I updated the Hero theme with the new xml Metamorph format. I also added a few things to framework. Added sliding animations as well instead of the regular ones. Hope ya like it! [/B]
One thing though...IF you do get a Pop Up about Market messing up...no worries. This happens because of the framework-res change with metamorph.
BONAFIDE SOLUTION: Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications...look for Market..click on it..and then click on 'Uninstall Updates'. Once that's done...BAM! yA dOnE! All fixed! So yeah, apart from that..this thing's good to go!
CYANOGEN USERS WANTING THE BLACK NOTIFICATION BAR: Flash the Black Notification Bar first(recovery), then flash my theme(metamorph)
SUGGESTIONIf you have a white notification bar, and you really don't think the black hero launcher matches that, you can always go to my other thread and download the white hero launcher I have there. There's a screenshot in the OP of that thread if you wanna see what that looks like. Here's the download link for the white hero launcher tab for those who are too lazy. : http://www.mediafire.com/?unnyzzjmjnr
WORKS ON ALL 1.6 ROMS(Tested on Cyanogen and Fastest, but works on all)

The htc calendar is from the market and it's called 'Pure Calendar Widget' and the people widget is also from the market and it's called 'Contact Sidebar'. Hope that helps!

giving this ago right now gonna use cyanogen for the full effect so ill report back tomorrow
Has anyone tried this on anything other than cyanogen?
The metamorph should work with any rom. and i see that you have a darkstar theme already, so that should take care of the black bar. but i also would want to know how the metmorphs work for other roms. it is really is made for any 1.6 rom. maybe you can. try it out and let me know.

Hmm...well, i will take the framework-res.apk off and get that fixed. Thanks for letting me know. I was debating just trying to make the framework available for metamorph as well and seeing if it works since that's much simpler and easier. Sorry about the inconvenience.
EDIT: WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED THE FRAMEWORK-RES AND WILL TRY TO GET THAT BACK (FIXED) ASAP
Must have for hero themes...
If you love the sense ui look as much as I do, then you should download "PandaHero - Hero Style Home" from the marketplace. I have attached a screen shot to get a better understanding of why this is needed. For the first time, the buttons at the bottom actually function like they do with sense ui. The left for apps, center for phone, right for settings. Absolutely must have app for anyone who loves hero themes.

I have actually tried this app before, and yes, you are right. It is very much like having sense on the g1, but the thing that got me off that app was that it runs like the sense ui rom on the g1, which is...slow. Very slow with this app..which is why I wanted to make this theme because I really like sense ui, and I didn't want the slowness that came with it, and this metamorph gives one the sense look without slowing down the phone because it is only 2MB. I'm glad you shared though, because ppl might not mind the lag, and it's beneficial because ppl don't have to flash anything. Again, thanks for sharing.

No problem man. Believe it or not, I didn't really mind the lag of actual hero roms, so the lag from this app isn't that bad in comparison. The ONLY reason I didn't stick with hero rom's is because I love my bluetooth more then sense ui.

Hey guys...me again!
So, I decided to start this metamorph on a new thread because the other one was getting a little crowded with the new design, so I decided to make this new one strictly for theming of the Launcher2 looking tabs.
PLEASE NOTE:
That the little side buttons don't move. This is not a direct port of the functionality, but just the look of it, for people who are dying to really have that nexus look, but don't want to switch to OpenEclair. The buttons are two on each side, because most people have the five homescreen thing going on, but I will make one with one on each side for the people who only have three screens. Also, this is also meant to be installed using Metamorph, and not through the recovery image of your phone.
HOW TO METAMORPH THESE FILES:
Go into the Android Market, and search for Metmorph, and then download and install. Once it's done installing, open Metamorph, and it will ask to do some checks...once that is done, just press on 'Pick Theme' and navigate to where you downloaded the file. Click on the zip file, and then it should unzip it for you automatically. Click on 'Launcher.apk' which should appear, then click finally on 'Apply it!', and just wait for it to do its thing. Once you press the home button, as is usual of launcher.apk edits, there will be a brief 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.
So without further I do...enjoy!

This doesn't reboot when you are done with metamorph. Did you go according to the guide that i showed you at the top of the thread? You could just go back to 'Home' without having to reboot unless it was a framework-res edit, which this is not. Try redownloading the file and then going thru the process again, and let me know how that works out for you. And selrct 'Replace' in Metamorph if you do redownload the file. So..let me know. And also, let me know what process you install this, to see if you do something wrong in there. Hope that helps!

Okay..so here's a little mock-up that I need some feedback on. I wanted to really give the nexus look, so i added the little home button to the bottom of the launcher rather than on the top, and made the top dark. But as in the screen shots, I think it looks better with the four row launcher on super d's roms. What do you guys think? Should I start making them like that and then keep this as the style or make this as a seperate for ppl who want the little home button inside the launcher? And what do you think? Good idea? Like it?
THIS IS DOPE! (haha i just said dope)
quick question, is this just the icon, or does it doe the cool 3d/animations when you open the launcher?? just wondering

lol. I'm glad you think this is pretty 'dope'! haha. But unfortunately, this doesn't have the animation that comes on the nexus launcher..just the regular pull up method, and then it goes to that. I'm yet to post a link for it, cuz i wanna know what the masses think. I actually might just go ahead and just post it anyway for those who just wanna try it out.
i like it, its very nice. just like the launcher from SUPER-D. good job!

Sweet work, very clean. Anderweb's right, you should move your mod work to his launcher, it really works perfectly on 1.6 (at least on my SuperD) and it has working dots and preview! One of the biggest things I wish I had from 2.1

OK, I know right off the bat that this is a dumb question, but I just can't figure out what the big deal about Espresso is. I've searched many, many times, but that just brings up people asking how to install it.
What I'm curious about is what's the big deal? What does Espresso bring to the table? Functionally, not cosmetically, why would I want Espresso on my phone?
Because if it's just a cosmetic change, people surely wouldn't be cluttering up threads so much asking about it, right?
It brings nothing but a newer looking Rosie Bar. I for one cant stand it and would prefer the stock Rosie to Espresso. Ive also grown to like the Droid Launcher...

OK, thanks.
That's pretty much what I thought, but so many people seem so very, very eager to get it within 10 seconds of a new rom release, I thought maybe it might add some actual functionality.
But if it's just the cosmetic change, then I agree, it's butt-ugly. Stock Rosie looks much better. Haven't tried out the Droid launcher yet, I'll give it a look. Gotta say though, I'm not sure about ditching Sense. It's not so much Sense itself I'm attached to, but some of the widgets that depend on it....
I for one think any variation of rosie is ugly, I prefer nexus launcher. I also liked launcher2, with the app dock. That sinistermashes dudes idea for a dock as a launcher was a kewl idea. Conservative and intuitive.

Neither the Droid Launcher or Espresso themes ditch Sense. They just change the look of the launcher bars at the bottom of the screen. All the Sense features and widgets still work fine with either of them.
I like the stock rosie or the nexus launcher, at least those tell you which screen you're on. The expresso doesn't and it's big... too much space taken up.
I don't get what the big deal is.

I'll check it out. As I said, I'm not attached to sense, I just can't bring myself to get rid of a few of the widgets that rely on it.
That said, from a cosmetic point of view, I think Espresso is going about 10 years backwards from a UI design point of view. I also think the stock, Google developed Android launcher belongs somewhere in the Windows 3.1 league.....
Then again, I also don't understand why people give a crap about the lockscreen. I always just do a quick double click on the menu button and never see it in the first place.
Maybe I'm just not the target audience for these particular tweaks....

Id give up sense in a heartbeat if i could find a bookmark widget and email widget as nice as senses. And the full weather animations too.
I hear beatiful widgets has animations? Same level as 2.1?
i know i am always posting things about lockscreens, they are just the one thing that i am picky about.
i really want an opaque lockscreen backround, without any clocks or anything. just opaque or even transparent, and still with the eclair style slide to unlock (although thats not essential)
anyone know of one i could flash, i know it early days, but is anyone working on this sort of thing at all?
Well, this guys has done what I think you want - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
However, do NOT flash those patches as they are for the CDMA Hero. I just thought you might be able to get an idea from the files he uses as to what needs to be changed.
He has done some other cool things too, but he's not got back to me as of yet about how to do them.
Good luck
that is EXACTLY what i want.
We sould be able to flash this ??? it's just a lockscreen otherwise i'll port it ova b4 the end of the week

Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...

Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??

I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.
