I am currently working on two themes to commemorate the Tron Legacy movie coming out in December: "Encom" and "Tron Legacy". Progress is slowly and regularly being made, and themed components are finally starting to roll out for testing. If your up to it please download the latest release files and let me know what you think, or let me know any problems you run into.

Known Issues:
Launcher tray background needs to be black. Must figure out how to change.
Image deviance on launcher graphics between normal state, and delete states.
Clock/Date still in black font. Must figure out how to change to white.
I am really liking how this one is coming together. The launcher bar matches with the wallpaper so well, and what I have done as far as the status bar has promise too.
So lemme know your opinions and recommendations, and I will do my best to make some quality theme for all of us. Just keep in mind this is my first attempt at theming (though I have done a lil bit of graphic work in the past).
Also, here are the wallpapers I am including with the themes. Encom's has been cropped from the remote access to Hardington's desktop. Legacy's was taken from a movie poster. (One with text added, and one without)
View attachment 299495
*Wallpaper and Encom trademark is property of its respective owners (Disney and 42 Entertainment) with editing and modification by me.*
*Remember to always do a nandroid backup before any major changes*
Just added pics. lol fail on me. Tried linking pics from tinypic, but didn't even think to use built in image attachment.
Just added a second theme to pair with the first. Lemme know what you think.
tron FTW but make the screens show your home screen or something
Each theme is currently showing the photoshop mockup of my homescreen. Much more work is required before this hits my actual phone.
i sir support the development of this theme
Damn yeah, i'd love to see how far this get.
Mya adw.one theme started as "tron theme" in my mind... but it ended in a very different concept... so if you manage to get the tron feeling, i'll definately be using/supporting it.
If i can be of any help, just pm me or tweet me!
Thanks for the offers. Once I get more into the technical part of making the theme I'll keep you all in mind. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up most of the knowledge I need from the forums, and other tutorials around, but it is always nice having some friendly backup.
Put up a test of the launcher for metamorph. Eventually want to do this for advanced launcher since this is what I use normally, but I was running into some issues with signing. For some reason my computer is giving me trouble with this. But that is a hurdle for another day.
Remaining issues:
Need to figure out what file to modify in order to change the launcher tray background to match the black launcher.
In normal state the middle bottom bar is hidden, but all other states is visible? Lost on this one. Exact same file, just different colors. It appears that the normal state is stretching just taller than the others as well. (this is visible since the bars are taller on this state)
Anyways, let me know what you think.
Two versions of the status bar are available in the original post. A two-tone black bar, and a grid bar to match the wallpaper.
I'm having a tough fight over the choice of these. The two-tone is nice and simplistic, but the grid just looks cool.
Issues: Clock/Date still in black font. Must figure out how to change.
Tron Legacy:
I have just posted updated metamorph files in the main post. This update merges the status bar, launcher, and wallpapers into one morph.
You have the option to choose between stock launcher, and advanced launcher. If advanced launcher is not found it will be automatically installed for you.
There are still some minor tweaks I want to do for these files to clean things up, but I consider this release to be the first step towards a usable theme. Give her a spin, and let me know what you think.
will this work on my nexus one?
Just wondering...
Im using the CaNNoN Eclair 2.1 rom for the htc magic, however after applying this theme using MetaMorph, I just get fc's after rebooting from MetaMorph.
Am I missing something? lol. Maybe this isn't for 2.1 just yet...?
This appears to be an oversight by me. Appologize for this. This is my first theme, and didn't realize what specific parts would make a theme be usable by only one rom build. I am building this rom based on my G1's CM 4.2.15.1. Once I have a complete rom built I will look into seeing what I have to do to port this for other roms.

Ah! No worries. I thought I missed a step somewhere! haha...
sorry for nooby question.. im a noob!
but does my hero need to be rooted to install this theme?
and does CM 4.2.15.1 mean Cyanogen Mod?

Yes, and Yes. You need root to use custom roms such as cyanogen mod, as well as to run apps like metamorph.
On a side note, I am half tempted to break the files back up into individual morphs. That way the parts that aren't locked into an individual rom can be used by anyone. *at least until I can get a full theme created. I'm really not worried about whether people use my whole theme, or just parts of it to their liking. Might as well make things easier on people. I've been real busy with school lately, coming up on finals so haven't had the chance to do much with the theme. Hope to get back to working on it soon.
Alright I finally did some more work on this. Finished the Encom Launcher, and upped for your use. Came out real clean and professional looking. Let me know what you think. Have a Link in main post.
Will be posting the regular launcher for Encom soon.
Figured out a few more things about how the launcher files work and didn't run into the problems I ran into with the Legacy launcher. Because of this I am going to be going back and fixing those issues on the Legacy launcher next so I can check that off the list.

looks good
good job.
more screenshot pls.
Nice job on the theme man. I've been using the Smorg theme for awhile, and now SmorgWhite. I like what you've done with this. Really like the icons also. I'll try to flash this right now and see how I like it. I'll give you some feedback when I'm done.
Alright I downloaded the .zip file for the theme. When I went to flash it for whatever reason it wouldnt' let me. kept giving me a failure notice. I'm not sure why it did that. Deleted the file and tried to download it again. STILL not able to finish the entire flash. HELP!!!

Yeah, I tried to flash this too. I don't think you signed it correctly. During the flash, it aborts saying something about IM apk failure.
Nice looking theme though. I love the icons. Hope you can fix the issue bro
this is my favorite looking theme but i'm getting an error when i try to flash
Verifying update package...
E:Wrong digest:
system/app/ImProvider.apk
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
love the fact that it's very B/W and the new icons are hot. would like to have voice search still but i can deal without it.
would be cool to keep the status bar icons from smorg 1.8 to keep the true B/W feel going.
beautiful theme, thanks for the contribution, hope i can get it on my G1 soon.
Darn! Worked on my phone. I'll check out what's wrong.
Edit: Resigned, and test installed on my own phone. Worked. Please report if it still doesn't work on your device. (Replaced original browser with new browser while I was at it)
/Mats
thanks alot bro. i'm gonna test it now
lol, sorry bro. you fiddle with one thing, seems something else doesn't want to work. and i think your phone runs fine with it because whatever is missing in the update is already on your phone so it doesn't ve any issues. maybe if u do a clean wipe or ext3 wipe and then flash your theme you'll see the error which is:
E: Wrong digest:
system/app/Browser.apk
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted.
I assume it's issues with the icons after you changed them or something because the last issue was IMprovider.apk and now it's Browser.apk
Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it another go.
/Mats
New version up.
This time, I wiped, flashed CyanogenMod 4.0.2, Flashed Melange 0.9.2, pulled out SD card and rebooted. Worked. Keeping my fingers crossed it'll work on Your phone too.
/Mats
hey bro thanks alot for working on this. it works! ...keep up the good work- just a suggestion if you'll take it--- the theme could use a few touch ups where the icons are in the notification bar (they seem to be surrounded a little bit by rough black edges from what i am seeing. thanks.
No need to thank me - I should thank you for volunteering as guinea pig.
If I'm to publish this, (besides just using it on my own phone) I'd better make sure it's at least possible to make it run on someone elses phone
Yeah, I know about those status bar icons.
When I started off with this, I had the intention of making them with a slight bevel around. Didn't turn out all that well, so some are beveled (or surrounded a little bit by rough black edges as you so eloquently put it! ), and some are just with transparent backgrounds. Now that I made app icons, I think I'll try to get the status bar icons to match too.
/Mats
sounds awesome. keep up the great work. you're one of the few guys who bothered to skin the icons and to me that makes a huge difference on how great the g1 can look. i wasn't feeling the smorg icons but i loved the smorg theme, so i tried using the bettercut method but that took forever to appoint random icons, and it also slowed my phone down. you've pretty much done what i wanted for my phone, so thanks bro. i'll be looking forward to your updates if you keep it up.
now it's time for me to sleeeeeeep
yay it works
i feel the same way as opasha. i like the smorg theme but wasn't a fan of the icons and when i tried to change them with better cut but my phone started to get choppy, the icons you created are beautiful.
i did manage to keep voice search/dialer. not sure how exactly, i flashed over smorg without flashing back to the unskinned CM 4.0.2, maybe that had something to do with it. keep up the good work and truly a wonderful theme, thanks for sharing.
Alright so I was able to finally flash this theme. So far so good. I noticed the "bevel" effect on the notification bar, but really not that big of a deal. VERY hard to see unless you're looking for it. LOVE the icons as well. Which theme are those from, or did you do them ALL yourself? either way Imma run this theme for a little while and I'll give you some feedback and suggestions later today. Any ideas on the horizon? One thing I did notice is that the keyboard is different....which makes sense. The transparent one of Smorg is SICK. All the initial checks are good, be back later with a full report
Thank you for helping me - Really appreciate it.
Plans are enhanced browser (no zoom buttons), icons for all default apps (and keep the ones i don't need/want/use in the update), nicer status bar icons.
In fact I am now running a version with new browser and new status bar icons - but I'm reluctant to release it to the World after this mornings (my time) debacle.
If you'd like to be my crash test dummy, you can try 094 here
Thank you!

0.9.4 is working perfectly for me. wow, this is everything i want in a theme. thank you so much. can't wait to see what's next
edit: one thing that would be neat is to replace the notification icons to match the rest of the theme

Icon background is my own. very simple with 2 gradients in a rounded rectangle actually.
The actual icons are mostly by a guy/gal by the "name" of chrfb on DeviantArt. A few apps I didn't find anything matching for, so I had to come up with something myself, like Super User.

/Mats
ing about the
I was talking about the gmail notification icon, it's the default one, unless something messed up when I was flashing.
So here it is, been meaning to do this for a while but I've been so busy....
First of all, the credits for the new lockscreen go to two people.
JDWME -- Came to me with the idea of building a lockscreen for a theme of his, and as a result JDWME pretty much designed the look of the lockscreen, meaning the layout. So if you like how it looks, you can thanks him for that. He is the designer, so to speak.
Stericson --- If JDWME is the designer then I am the Architect. I took the images from JDWME and the idea of what he wanted and built it. It took me well over a month to do this. I dont have alot of timke for Android with school, family, and work....so you may see why it took so long.... I also implemented features of my own such as the fade in and out animations and the settings panel.
JDWME will continue to have a large influence in this lockscreen design as I consider him to be a partner in all of this.
Others who have contributed to the lockscreen: MoonsSpoon (Text shadow, makes text stand out on lockscreen), Manup465 (suggested having two different images for the docks instead of one)
Moving on...
One of the most important things I want to point out is as follows: If you flash a theme with our lockscreen you wont be able to simply switch to another theme without the lockscreen without having to reflash a full update...
Why, do you ask?
Well, I'll tell ya....The themes that have our lockscreen have 4-5 files in theme for the lockscreen to work. These files include, Settings.apk, framework.jar, framework-res.apk, services.jar, and android.policy.jar.
Most other themes only contain, at most, framework-res.apk and services.jar. So when you flash this other theme without the lockscreen, my android.policy.jar is looking for things inside of framework-res.apk that are not there annnnnd you get a bunch of problems.
What can I do about this?
What you can do is pull these files out of the full update and flash them back to your phone is going back to a theme without our lockscreen. Then your issue will be resolved...just make sure you do this in recovery.
What else?
Until Cyan puts this in his build I cannot make this perfectly compatible with his build. Mostly because it is difficult to absolutely replicate his source. This means that the video controls not working, will remain that way until he officially releases the lockscreen in his build, which he has made announcements that he would but again it is his build and it is his choice whether or not he does so and when he will do so....
Anything Else?
If there are any other questions about the lockscreen or things you might think are occuring because of the new lockscreen, please post them here.
Also, I always, always update my twitter on things first. Its just the fastest way I can get information out to people. If you would like to know this information when it becomes available, please visit my twitter and follow me so you can be notified when these updates are made.
www.Twitter.com/Stericson
Lastly, In the next post, at a future date, I will share information on how to do some advanced tweaks/tricks to the lockscreen, mainly for theme devs who want to make it a bit more different.
Thanks for your support guys/gals,
Stericson

Stericson
Thank you stericson, you've done so much for android theming. Can't wait to see what new features you will be adding!
Good work stericson. I appreciate everything you do.
If you are running 4.0.4 just pull services.jar, framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and android.policy.jar. All of these go into /system/framework. Also, pull settings.apk and put it into /system/app. then you should be good to go.
Also, it doesnt matter to me whos you use...Let me clarify, when I say JDWME was the designer I mean the icons being at the bottom, the clock and date being at the top, etc.
While other themers may theme it and make it look different, it will still retain JDWME's layout that he chose to use for the lockscreen.
Regards,
Stericson
I agree thank you so much!!!
This thread should be stickied since there are both themes with new lockscreens and themes without, and chances are people will flash without reading about what they're flashing. So it will be easier to point them to this thread and let them know what to do if they run into problems.
Thanks Stericson for all the awesome contributions since day 1! Great job on the lockscreen too.
Question n hopefully i don't get flamed since having to do with this lock screen. Has the music been fixed or is there already a thread talking about that, that i have missed? Sorry if there was
But yes like Prash said please sticky this

The music hasn't been fixed, it still says "Music controller, work in progress!" I can't wait for the music control to happen, I've been longing for it for a while, as someone who uses his phone regularly (~3 hours a day) to listen to music. I even dabbled with Hero for the lock-screen music controls, but Hero was just far too slow.
And thanks Stericson for your hard work and opening this thread - I've been searching for a thread like this for a while.
Hello stericson!!for first,thanks you for all your great works!!!...but i have two questions:
1)the battery in the lock screen is moved to the left..what can i do for changing battery position??
2)the message icon in the lock screen is inactive..it is normal??
excuse for my english and thank you again!
im trying to use this in a theme but i cant get the t-mobile text on the pull down to turn white
Thanks Stericson! Love it! one quick question,
Do you know if this is regarding your lock screen or specific themes. When receiving calls it current stays on the lock screen so i am unable to see who is calling unless i press menu first. This is ok normally however is rather annoying when catching a call late and having to enter a call blind so to speak.
Thanks again and some more top work!
good work. I do have a concern though. There's a lot of files involved, and this kind of renders the lockscreen usable only for the framework version it was designed for, since further changes (or backwards compatibility) could pose a problem. Do you think it would be possible to have the android.policy instead call on a separate program and launch a custom lockscreen, making it, thus, slightly more modular. Cyanogen's builds are a moving target and, though his framework hasn't changed much lately, i do feel it's going to be useless once he gets more work into donut and abandons cupcake for good.

I need screenshots of your battery position...In the newest updates the battery should always be centered, make sure you have the newest updates...
The last icon, undetermined yet what it will be, is inactive.
As for the problem with the lockscreen not unlocking when a call comes in, this is not a lockscreen problem, rather it is a problem with my status bar mod. I believe I may have found a bug in Googles code....Still looking into it...
Also, this will still be good for donut. Cyan is going to implement this into his source and it will be available on all builds there on. As for making a custom app for the lockscreen, calling a method in android.policy.jar... It would still require changes being made to these files which would have to be done on every rom, and it would still be rom specific...so it wouldnt solve anything...I have provided my source so this can be put into other builds....
Stericson
Do to your tough schedule do you expect another month or so for the music control and the undecided icon to be updated

Have you tried the colorChange.jar thread? I use that everytime an update comes out with the files from the lockscreen and have not had an issue
I can't say...I'm sorry...this is why I made the source available...maybe someone could do it faster then me?

Curiosity. What would happen if theme was changed to 1 that doesn't contain this lockscreen?

if you did this without flashing the ROM in between, then you're in for quite a number of FCs from multiple programs

Hey thanks for the suggestions and link to that wallpaper. I'll definitely include it. I hadn't decided on the color scheme yet. I threw that wallpaper on just to have something to show for the screenshot. I had just wiped,etc. and flashed the latest SenseHero.
I'm still working on the icons. Trying to come up with ideas for the apps I havent completed yet. I already finished Maps and Voice search but I did something wrong and the icons didnt change when I flashed. Maybe I forgot to add the apk's in ._.'
Also, I'll have a look at the hover's your talking about. Thanks.
YES! FINALLY SOMEONE IS THEMEING FOR SENSEHERO! imo its the fastest/smoothest hero rom out there, and the fact that the new update lets us CHOOSE what bfs kernal we want....anyways, i really like the icons, but yeah maybe a darker app menu? are you going to customize the htc.ime at all?

Yes. I do plan on customizing the HTC.ime. I'm thinking either darker keys, transparent background or both. Question though, what do you mean by darker app menu?
Looks hard

As you can see by the picture in the link you posted, for example the Music icon, some pictures I found fit perfectly enough for my tastes that I used it as is. These would be: Music, Browser and Albums in my screenshot. The rest I took a picture and edited it, putting things in and taking things out.
For the Gmail icon I simply took a normal Gmail Icon (the red/white envelope) and a picture of that girl who simply had her arms up in the air. I cut the cropped the arms out and placed them behind the envelope and moved her fingers around to simulate her holding the envelope.
YES! Finally a little big planet theme in progress
Im starting to understand why there are a lot of Hero themes but not a lot of themes for Hero (ROMs). I havent been able to get v1.2 to boot up since release. My screenshot was based on 1.1.1, updating from 1.1.1 to the "Full Build" 1.2 has resulted in nothing but boot loops. I've tried wiping, repairing ext, repartitioning my card from scratch but nothing. I can successfully boot up any other type of ROM except for Hero ROMs. So for now I'm going to make this for CM 4.2.3.1 and then port it to SenseHero once I can figure out how to get it up and running again =(
Updated!!!
Tell me what you think of the tab. I'm not to sure about it myself.
I think a background from the game might be best. Maybe a pictue of the king or queen. Or maybe even a picture of the worlds like when the SackPerson is using the Ps3 controller, (I cant remember what they call that part of the game.)
where can i download this bro??
You Should Change The Time To The Color White Cause Its Kinda Hard To See

I will. It was just something I forgot to do before I flashed it. I didn't even notice until I looked at the screenshot. It will definately be fixed before release. Looking into a color scheme now and the remainder of the status bar icons.
Released. Feedback please. =)
Good job on the icons. I like the wallpaper and the pattern lock screen too. Keep up the good work.
Using it now

Ok, so how did you install it? because i'm not getting a typical zip file. it's reading as a .jar--tried resigning it as a zip and it "E:Can't find update script"
I want this theme, so any help would be most appreciated. thanks!
Hello everyone,
Back in the CM-4.0.2 days, I briefly used the HTC Hero 1.5.0 theme from tehseano.
I have now taken bits and pieces of it, and updated it for CM-4.2.12.2.
Please note that this replaces the classes.dex file in services.jar. This theme may cause problems with any other version of CM, and may not work with any other ROM. If in doubt DO NOT apply the services.jar subtheme.
If you would like the Power Control Widget theme in the screenshots, it is located here.

Thanks to tehseano for the initial theme.
EDIT:
I forgot to make it clear that this theme can only be applied with MetaMorph.apk
Edit: Increased version for 4.2.12.2
In the future, themed music widget, themed calendar widget, and some fixed icons are coming. Please bear with me, it is near the end of the semester, and I am working full time, and going to school full time.
4.2.11.1 has re-vamped dialer icons.
The Power Control widget theme is now included.
Music Widget is now included also.
I have not forgotten about those that want a Dwang's ROM port, I am looking into it.
I am also going to work on a version to be flashed over Stericson's Lock.
Hopefully the next release will also include themed music/calendar/search widgets.
Sorry about the gap in updates... The holidays are a hectic time.
Dang it.
Apparently 4.2.6 made some changes to the Phone.apk images... it will look a little off until I can rework the images. You could just skip that sub-theme until then.
m0zes,
are the highlights green or orange selecting icons or in search and browser?
i love the power widget, hope that you addressed music and search widget accordingly.
My time in the notifications is still black, any suggestions?

It sounds as if you did not apply the services.jar sub-theme. I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but the reason I have to use that piece is because those colors (for date and time) are hardcoded in the classes.dex file. I wish there were a better work around, but this is the best I can do for the moment.

Hilights are supposed to be green with this theme.
I will fix the music widget in my next release, and update a couple of the browser icons. (Browser highlights correctly, but the colors are off on two of the icons)

Thank You And Keep Up The Great Work

That is the "Power Control Widget" (Part of Donut, themed with this.)
Sorry I don't have an update for 4.2.7.1 yet, guys. Full time work and School hasn't left me with much time as finals are coming up. I am going to try and have an update this weekend.
I'll also look into posting a theme for Dwang's ROM.
Great work, it makes me love my G1 all the more.
Even with the small issues with clock and dialer, this is a fantastic Morph!
School > Making our G1's pretty. Finals week incoming.
Edit:Failed at reading whole thread first.
4.2.7.1 is posted. I am hard at work attempting to theme the music/search/calendar widgets and fixing a couple of images that aren't of the quality I would like.
I have fixed the dialer bug in this release.
Thanks for the update. I've been patiently waiting on it....
ive never used metamorph before but is it supposed to take forever on "framework"
it was taking to long and it kinda of killed home to the point where I had to unlock my sim card.So i exited out of the program and everything seems to be running fine except all my widgets were not loaded.
should I try again and let it finish?

framework-res should take 30-45 seconds (maybe more with the latest MetaMorph update)
Widgets are notorious for needing to be re-added after theming. You should delete them and re-add them.
I am also replacing a decent number of icons in the Home screen, so Home will generally need to be reloaded afterward.
Not to mention the fact that any changes to framework-res should be followed by a reboot .

yea I ended up doing that
I "morphed" framework and the other last one separate and rebooted.I dont know what it does but everything is working so Im happy.
I was looking for a hero theme for the longest on 4.2.7.1 so thanks
Everything worked out fine with the install. I started to leave my job last night and turned on my bluetooth headset. It would not connect at all. I was thinking to myself, "This guy is taken this hero s*** too far. No working bluetooth!!!" I just rebooted my phone and the bt connected again, LOL! Other then that BT prob, everything is working just fine. Thanks again for your work.

Heheh, maybe I could try that for the next version
I may be able to get it to nuke a driver somewhere...
I have a question, can I delete the files the theme creates?
I have 700 images now on my phone and going into gallery to look at my pics and wallpapers is like going through a jungle.
@m0zes:
You should put a .nomedia file in your morphs, that would solve the issue with the images showing up in the gallery.
You can take the file from other morphs cause it's universal and contains no data.
I have been maintaining the framework for VEGAn-TAB and wanted to develop some optional framework files. If some of these changes are popular, then they could creep into the main build.
I plan on working on some different color schemes. I'll also consider any requests.

I applied the change, but don't see any difference. What was supposed to change here?
BTW, would love color variation for the status bar across the top. The green is my least favorite thing about mod. Maybe a nice blue would look good.

Status bar height is a bit smaller, I'm playing with how thick it should be. I'm going to probably throw up some more versions tomorrow or late tonight.
I just threw that up real quick because I had quite a few people request it.

I'm not sure yet, since when you theme an app you ruin the ability for it to stay up to date. It is possible.
The first big change will probably be a blue or cyan(tron) colored version.
I like the slimmer status bar. The original always felt a little too big. Nice mod!
Bump for Tron Cyan theme, thinking about coloring more icons for the theme, but all the main ones are done.

I like the Tron theme too.
The slim notification bar is a great mod. Great work.
weird things are happening after applying the tron mod.
after installing and booting up, i noticed everything was a little sluggish. more sluggish than normal. i cleared cache after installing and booted up btw, but noticed scrolling around was a little slower, app drawer tray scrolled slower as well (i dunno, call it ocd). so i did a quadrant test and all the tests were consistently lower by 200 points. luckily i restored a backup before updating and now my quadrant scores are back to normal. not sure if this is just me or what.
weirder thing is that when i booted into clockwork mod to try and restore, it said it couldn't find the directory, it did not exist. thought this was weird, so i went to the mounts and storage menu and saw that /sdcard was mounted (not sure if its supposed to be) so i unmounted it and then it worked.

Hello all... big fan of the VEGAn ROm on my G Tab. I am a designer by trade but do not have the abilty tear apart the framework to reskin the ROM. Is there anyway for someone to send me just the graphic files, let me skin it then send it back to rebuild the framework?
I hope this isn't asking too much? Then I can build a few themes for our G Tab.
Thanks for all the deves hard work... just hoping to help give back for all your great work. You can shoot me a PM too.

You can download the first link (not the cyan one). Then open the zip and find the file called framework-res.apk. That file is an archive, that you can open like any zip file. Inside of the framework file, go to /res/drawable-mdpi. That is where you will find the files that need to be modded.
However the files with .9.png will not be simple edits like the regular .png files.There are guides on how to do the 9 ones.
