Trying to learn how to use this metamorph program. I am attempting to change the color of my task bar. But when I load the zip it does not show in the metamorph program. I'm rooted with fresh2.0d flashed on a CDMA Hero. Here is the link hopefully someone can help.

If I were to delete an image from a theme, is it necessary to replace the image with a new one or will it just be ignored in the Metamorph process?
Also, some of the PNGs included with themes I download seem to be locked from editing, in photoshop at least, how do I overcome this?
Thanks. I am not new to themeing (long time Winterboarder), just needing some assistance reassurance with this new app/OS
i dont use metamorph for my themes.. i never took the time to try it..
but those images arnt locked there just in the indexed mode... change it to rgb
I have had my Hero for a little over a month and I was trying to make a theme for my Clock Widget tonight using metamorph. I finally got all the folders right and I know it worked, however it deleted my HtcClockWidget. What are the rules on using metamorph on system apps and also if I can't do it that way how do I make an update.zip file with the changes I want.
im running fresh 2.1.2 and i tried to use the metamorph the other guy posted and it failed
can anyone help me go about clearing the lock bar? im very new modding and such.
please dont flame me for not knowin how to do this. if anyone can point me in the right direction or even have the file to do so that would be very helpful. thank you
It's likely the MetaMorph file you are trying to apply is not compatible with the most recent MM application, assuming you are updated to the latest version.
You can convert the .thm file to a .xml file in the zip you download using this utility, in order to get any older MM files to work again.
yes you are correct i have the updated MM
thank you for the link
I used to change fonts easily before froyo using the Root Explorer method but with Froyo when I reboot the N1 after changing the fonts it will get infinite loops!!
Is there any solutions to change fonts under froyo?
Works fine for me using metamorph.
Is it easy to do a font pack for metamorph?
If you want one of the fonts in this zip it's very easy:

As far as adding a font and having metamorph recognize it in an xml and apply it, I'm clueless.
moved to the Q&A forum.

I havent tried it on Froyo, but when I was running cyan 5.0.6 I replaced one of the fonts in the skaggz zip with a different one I wanted to use, applied it with metamorph and it worked fine. There was no need to edit any files unless I had wanted to change the name, but I just left it unchanged and my new font had the name of the one it replaced.
The updated version causes a boot loop on KaosFroyo, probably other ROMs too. Make a backup or undo file !
This page contains instructions to install the port of the speedo battery from the Viva Cyan, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900589. I take no credit other than packaging it for installation on the Eris, Hero and other medium-res Androids.
The original theme post for Eris by CondemmedSoul is here.
This method of installation only updates the status bar battery icons. See the attached screenshots of it installed with stock Froyo and with my HtcBlackStatusBar. I like it better over a black background myself.
INSTALLATION
1. Download and install ZipThemer from the market. Its free. If you have it installed already, check to be sure you have version 1.5 or later.
2. Download this theme file to your device and leave it unpacked in Zip format. This is not a MetaMorph file and it is not a flashable update. You may put the zip anywhere you wish on your sdcard, but I suggest a subdirectory like /sdcard/ZipThemer or /sdcard/download so you won't see this zip in the list of flashables from recovery.
2a. If you don't already have a black status bar and want one, download any black status bar MetaMorph theme to your device such as HtcBlackStatusBar, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779488. Also leave this theme file in Zip format. ZipThemer can install multiple themes at once following the instructions below.
3. Open ZipThemer and press the "+Theme" button to load the theme file. A file browser opens, use it to select the speedo-battery2.zip file.
3a. If you are also installing a black status bar theme, click "+Theme" again and select its zip file. In the ZipThemer theme list, long-press on speedo-battery and select "Move Down". You want the speedo-battery theme to be lower in the list compared to the status bar theme in order to ensure that its icons take precedence over any others.
4. Click the "Build It!" button to begin the process of creating a flashable update zip file. Answer "Yes" to creating an undo file if you want an easy way to revert these changes later. It takes about a minute to create the flashable update and undo files.
5. Exit ZipThemer and make any font color changes required by the status bar, if you are installing one. The speedo-battery theme does not require font changes itself.
6. Boot into recovery and flash speedo-battery-update.zip.
7. Reboot. Enjoy your new status bar battery icons. If you're not enjoying them, go back into recovery and flash speedo-battery-undo.zip.
CondemmedSoul's version with 100% levels is here.

Anyone else notice that the gauge disappears while charging?

Yes, you're not alone. I'll take a look at the problem when I get a chance.

Cool, other than that it works wonderfully!
It's been fixed now. I just uploaded the flashable zips for tazz v26 and CELB 4.1
in my thread and sent the missing piece to kellinwood so he can add it to the theme zipper file.

The updated ZipThemer theme file is attached here temporarily until CondemmedSoul picks it up for distribution in his thread.
EDIT: Rats, the new version causes a boot loop, just like when I tried the original flashable version. Looks like this install method is a no-go.
