What is it ?
This is just two simple themed Advanced Launcher I use on my 32B with cyanogen 4.2.8.1 and Darkstar theme.
This is a metamorph mod, not an update.
As this is the first release, there's perhaps some bugs.
If someone want to use it in a theme, there's no problem, just let me know
Instructions :
Download
Standard version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_AL.zip
White version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_white_AL.zip
Arrow version : http://www.box.net/shared/85y0qqv2jc
Cube version : http://www.box.net/shared/z40q1dselg
Grey version : http://www.box.net/shared/lmnx20f08s
Hollow version : http://www.box.net/shared/6sdg95pnd3
And use it in Metamorph app (> 1.7). If you don't have yet Advanced Launcher, Metamorph will install it.
I think it can be used on any rom wich can use Advanced Launcher.
Thanks to :
Cachinjection for the initial Darkstar concept,
Feekyfrogy for the Darkstar theme from wich my mod is based on (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Bahnburner who has metamorphed Darkstar launcher (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Djengizz who motivated me unknowingly by sharing metamorphs and for hosting ,
Stericson for his awesome MetaMorph app,

didn't work for me as well. I'm guessin' it's 'cuz of the update script. Said something was missing, thus making the addition/theme invalid. Looks great though! Can't wait to use it. Good job!
Its for MetaMorph, not a flash.
Good work man

Yeah..i didn't try to flash it. I used Metamorph, but it didn't work for me. Anyone have better luck? I just downloaded the zip to the root of my sdcard, then opened metamorph, picked the zip from the AndExplorer list from pick theme', but it gave me an error message.
I just looked at it,
The zip file and .thm file should have the same name
also
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.cpy
/system/app/
AdvancedLauncher.apk
/system/app/
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do here. The advanced launcher is still the Launcher.apk and the drawables are still the same. Just get rid of that Launcher folder, rename the AdvancedLauncher to just Launcher and the .thm file just needs to be
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.apk
/system/app/
For MetaMorph to work, the folder needs to be the exact name that the apk is.
oh, and by the way, for those of you who couldn't find the wallpaper he was talking about when they went to that site, just type in 'bamboo zen' when you go to the wallpaper link in the OP and you'll see it. It should be the first one. There's also an inverse one of it which looks pretty snazzy as well.
kool good to see some more darkstar offshoots, hope my next theme inspires such themeing projects.
just a quick one, i personally think that the the background image for the app draw chould do with some refining.
have fun yall

Hi,
Don't know why it doesn't work for everyone...
I'm using Metamoph 1.8.1. I just put the zip in /SDCARD/AndroidThemes/ (as Stericson said in his OP).
@Eessel : exact thanks.
@Jairomeo : zip and thm have the same name (it works on my phone)
I'm not exactly sure what i am trying to do in the .thm. I've just take the metamorph zip from Bahnburner's Darkstar Advanced Launcher and modify some pictures.
The metamorph install Advanced Launcher (with Launcher.cpy subtheme i think)and then themed it (with AdvancedLauncher.apk i think).
As it works for me i hope it can works for every one.
After the first time i use this metamorph, Avanced Launcher was successfully installed and i just have to apply AdvancedLauncher.apk subtheme, not Launcher.cpy.
I've just done a test :
update to cyan 4.2.9.1 -> return to standard cyan launcher
apply kawaz_white metamorph -> advanced launcher is installed and themed...
@cacheinjection : yes, i agree. I've try a semi-transparent image, but have some bugs with it. Perhaps in next version if i found a solution.
Thanks all for comments.
Finally, is there someone use it with success ?
OK !! I anderstand what happend !
I've try to re-download my mod and have seen that my host rename it !
So, i'm going to update the OP with that :
you should rename the donloaded file :
Kawaz_AL.zip for the standard mod
Kawaz_white_AL.zip for the white mod
Sorry for that.
Hello,
When I use a semi-transparent background for menu, i've a bug :
Normal :
With bug :
Icons are in double or triple...
Anybody knows why ?
anyone get this to work with Metamorph 1.7? I am having the same error...
Ive updated to last metamorph (1.8.1) and still having the error message ("id file could not be read or is missing ..").
I've tried with both black and white version, downloaded the files twice nothing work.
And that's a shame, this launcher look real damn good.
Im running Dwang 1.5, with metamorphed theme mainly borrowing to dark star.
Dont know what Im missing, if anybody does, please let me know
Have you rename the downloaded file as i add in the first post ?
Hi,
New mirror added to the first post. You did'nt have to rename files with it.
Thanks a lot Djengizz !
Please let me know if somebody can use those mods now.
Is there any way to use this skin on the home screen only? I just can't bear to go back to three screens (which is what Advanced Launcher does to my baby).

+1 for this - deleted as soon as I saw that I couldn't use it without losing 2 screens.
I just want to ask whether the available themes in the APP and THEME part is going to replace my Launcher pro or not. Any idea?
Thanks before

Themes modify the system files, they aren't independent.
If you get a theme for a rom, it will modify things all around the rom.
If you get a theme for a program (adw) it will modify things inside the program only.
for example, I'm interested in using the ZEN theme or the minimalist theme. Can I use my LauncherPro after I flash the theme?
Ported theme originally created by Kalagas for Milestone. So all credit and thanks go to him for giving me permission to port it.
Some parts of the theme may be from other themes but I've had them that long I can't remember who created them so if the creators recognise them I apologise in advance and hope you don't mind me using them in this theme. If this is breaking any rules I apologise and understand if you have to remove this theme but I would be grateful if you could let me know who I need to ask for permission to post this theme.

LAUNCHER PRO 8.1.1.
Launcher Pro
From my testing I think you need to remove any old versions of Launcher Pro before you install this for it to work (any existing Launcher Pro settings will be lost and have to be redone). If someone can clarify this as I'm really not sure. Also I have noticed that If do an update (if there is one available it overwrites all files) I lose the theme. So I don't do an update.
If anyone can tell me of a better way of theming Launcher Pro to get round all these problems I would be grateful.
CM THEME
Unzip then put in SD Card/CMThemes then go into "Menu/CM Extra/User Interface/Tweaks extras/Select a theme" and select "Kalagas_Mixed"
Kalagas_Mixed.zip
ALWAYS DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING.
Very Nice - Thanks for your work!

I've asked! But no reply -.-
So I just found out tonight Espier now has theme support, but the only one available is
"Cartoon." It'd be nice if they let you use image files on your SD card, but I digress.
You CAN, however, use APK Multi-Tool to extract all the image files and replace them. There's 18 icons, two wallpapers and a thumbnail. I THINK you can add more, but the .xml file you'd have to edit has chunks of Chinese in it, which I cannot read.
So Google all that stuff and you can make your own theme.

Maybe you though that there were not so many themes for CM7, but now i brought you a pack of themes for cyanogemod 7. So for the people that do not know how to install these themes i will give you the instructions here:
First of all unzip the file. you will notice that there are a lot of APKs. transfer all those apks to your phone.
after that, download an app that is called "root explorer" you will need this aplication, go and enter to that app, once you are there, select all the apks that are on CM7 themes file, y copy all the themes and paste it on " system/app ". after pasting one by one give inverted L permission. I hope you understand everything that i typed.
Reboot you phone and go to theme chooser and you will see all the themes there,
All these themes are awesome, you will like it.
good bye
