[METAMORPH] HERO FULL THEME 'the real hero' [UPDATE: NEW METAMORPH FORMAT] (05/06/10)

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!

One is Koxx's calender grid app and I forgot the name of the contacts app. Both are in the market though.

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.

This is a metamorph theme, not meant to be flashed via recovery. Use metamorph to get this on your phone. Do you know how to use metamorph?

Themers: Your new best friend -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
Daneshm90 made a sweet computer app (only for Windows ATM) to take the PNGs from one theme or rom and transfer them to another, easily and effectively theming the new rom with little effort. Right now you have to make sure that it is MDPI type stuff, so no higher class phone themes will work just yet. I think he might be finding a way around that. You can still grab themes from lots of phones like the G1, Hero, etc etc and you can use 2.1 themes for Froyo roms and such as well. I made a Buuf themed Cyanogen Tazz rom and a pink themed CELB Froyo rom for a friend that was from a 2.1 rom. So far so good... Did not have success with using Droid roms as they are HDPI. Soon though...soon... lol Feel free to stop in that thread and say thanks or ask questions. He seems quick to answer and be helpful. Since I have done a few (hey, failed ones count, you learn what NOT to do...) I might be of assistance as well. Enjoy!

Minimal Matte Eris port

Is there any chance someone could port the theme found here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 (I am a new user, can't post links)
over to the eris. I tried to see if it would work without changing anything and my phone got stuck in an endless boot-loop. I am in love with the theme. Thanks.

If you know how to mess with the sering and stuff with your computer I think the maker of white widow says how he got it to work on his rom in his thread, I might be wrong though.

The only thing working for me are the widget themes. When I try flashing anything else it puts my phone into a boot-loop, and the only way to fix it is to go into recovery and do a restore.
You do need Launcherpro plus to get the widgets, then applying the theme to them should be no problem.
If anyone was able to find that "simpltext" doc them please let me know because I searched on the makers website and found nothing, thanks.

I talked to the creator, he said he will port to eris for 10 pounds.

This happens sometimes. What you need to do is go back into Metamorph and choose pick existing theme. Scroll through till you get to the XML file and tap that and it should give you the choices to theme which app(s). Thanks to RangeStang for giving me this pointer. Hope it helps you too.

asking for it is weak, but 10 pounds isn't that much. if you were to cut the cost between 3 or 4 people it would be relatively cheap, make everyone's devices look super clean, and save someone else the hastle of trying to port.
i really like this theme. what i'd LIKE to do is speak to some devs who have experience modifiying Sense, etc. (e.g. Konikub, the original dev for Aloysius). Sense with a modified Rosies and the full Minimal Matte theme throughout all Sense apps would be badnasty.
seriously, i think i could go to a bar, pull my phone out, and have sex with the best looking girl at the bar as a result.
usually a phone won't get you laid, but in this case it might!

haha... nice... i'm sure we have enough people that want it and would donate a little here and there... I'm trying to find out if I can accomplish this myself first... there is a theme converter in the Android development section and I'm seeing if can be used... then I would share of course!

I don't get it, I used the minimal matte MM and got everything except the icons (which is fine by me). What ROM are you using?

the MM doesn't skin the Launcher Pro Plus widgets... that is what I want the most of all from that theme... i got the framework from the MM(except the status bar didn't work...) but i really want those widgets...

wasn't able to port it correctly.... sorry.... going back to the MM... that seemed to work the best for me...
I haven't tried pushing the apk's yet... so thats my next attempt

has anyone else tried pushing the widget apk's and if so, did you succeed? If you're using Apps2SD where do you push to?

Hey, I'm having a similar problem. I found a CM6 build for Eris, then used MM to put on the theme since it wasn't working on my KaosFroyo ROM.
I have the status bar and notifications working great with it, but I can't figure out how to get the widgets and the icons.

Just look at the original Honeybread theme...its just been ported to work on the Tiamat Rom.

there you have it. sill need to theme the highlighted colors and going to theme the settings.apk and gmail.apk calender.apk

too any of you reading this thinkin i wish i could do that, yesterday i didnt have the slighted clue how to do this, all this was done in thirty minutes, plus the couplr hours of getting the method down pat, just ask its easier than you think.

Runnin good and lookin sexy on my Xoom. Thanks for the theme!

Where did you get those icons? Are they part of circle launcher?

Which one, I'm not original author of theme, I just ported it.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App

Thanks, I really appreciate the port of this nice theme.
However, there are some minor issues, notably the Xoom reboots right away when pushing the on/off button. There is no pop up menu with an option of turning the unit off. Not a big deal though, as Tiamat included the Quick Boot app with the latest ROM.
I also have the stock blue analogue clock and not the green thine one shown in the screen shot.
But, as I said not a biggie, looks great.
Thanks again,
arc

that happened to me as well, only one time though. every time after that it cam up normal, just without recovery option, is yours doing this repeatedly?

Yes for me it happens every time. But as I can use the Quick Boot app, it's sort of a non-issue anyway. It could possibly have something to do with if you were modded or not.
Thanks again,
arc

Same is happening for me, Tiamat 1.1 with Mod Pack 1 installed. I don't really care as I don't use the analog clock. I ran a backup, but doubt I'll bother with doing a restore as I never power down either. I like the green here and there, and love the lock screen

Should be a dib update tonight or tomorrow, look for it, think you guys will enjoy

will do draw9s tomorrow, and finish the gmail contacts and Calender, also going to put USB mass storage themed on next update, will try to incorporate mod pack one, have to see how that goes

Thanks MitchTank, I welcome the effort.
Btw, I realized there are two different clockwidgets the stock blue and the Honeybread green.

OP can you link your Circle Launcher icons in the first post? If not, my email is [email protected]. Thanks in advanced.

I ran broken dread on bo 2.0.1 and Still looks great, only issues are that 1)there is a black bar across the top of the calendar app and 2) the screen shot icon is a battery bar. Any way to fix this?

that would require editing a lot of xml's. Takes time. I believe somebody is working on porting some of highlimits themes.

Those are easy to fix just replace the battery image in I believe
Framework-res.apk just extract change replace from zip to zip and push
Same for the Calendar.apk (no xml edits needed)
I believe spchicks posted a how to theme tutorial on these forums, That is how I learned. Its very easy Once you get it all set up which is the hardest part.
p.s. These aren't meant to be flashed over the new rom, They have not been ported. They are for others to port or change. I do believe JohnnyAn is the guy to talk to But if it works it works.
