Themes and morps? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you install themes on to the phone? Also i have seen their are certain widgets that required you to morps, what are they and how do you install them? Do you have to unlock the phone?

perhaps you should go look over in the themes and morphs section? actually i think its called themes and apps, but that is where all the morphs are.

Yeah i know, but im asking how do you install them, and what are morphs. If you can answer the question then you have no reason to be in this thread.

yeah morphs change things like the status bar color, widget transparency, any type of visual changes to the OS. you use an app called metamorph in the market. and you have to be rooted.
now in the themes and morphs section, this info is in the first threads sticky at the top.

im sorry does anybody know how to change the taskbar icons? if so, can u plz help me thxs!
It depends on what you referring to as your taskbar
If you mean the lower quick keys then it would depend on what launcher you are using. Launcher pro gives you the option to use Icon packs to customize the launcher keys.
If you mean all the icons then bettercut allows you to change icons/names and several other options on your screen.

MetaMorph allows you to apply "themes", some of the themes available in these forums are designed to just change the look of the top-bar. Look around and you will probably find something you like.
On a side note, you have to root your phone to use MetaMorph.

can you point me where they are located? when i searched..it gave me a list of a bunch of themes that im not really interested..thanks
Meta morph is what you need. Check out the theme forum and all the icons you could ever want are there inside the different themes you download.

Is there a way to theme the settings menu?

I have seen a few different ROM's with colored Icons in the setting menu and I have searched this thread and I haven't found any MOD's out there to do it. What am I missing?
Use Metamorph. It will do what you're looking for. Most of the morphs are in the Nexus One forum but I've used them without issue. The worst that can happen is they don't apply but they won't break your phone so just try them out.

a cyan theme for CM6 RC1?

I want a theme that's black/cyan for my aria. It's running RC1 [from the RC1 thread], and I've already changed all the text colors to a cyan that matches the original cyano mod power strip/bar. but there are plenty other colors floating around (lockscreen, incoming call, battery icon, etc).
I'm a noob at fiddling around with actual the actual files (apks, jars), and I'm scared of installing a theme that's not meant for this rom (will it even boot? i got stuck in boot loop when i tried a cm6 theme >.<). I like a clean look like the glass themes (can't post links.. urg) but in cyan (and able to run on this rom/phone). Metamorph won't run on this phone. Is there a way to flash a MM theme without it (guess not?)?
..is there a black/cyan theme floating around that'll work for the aria rc1?
Im not sure if its exactly what you're looking for but if you search "CyanogenMod ADW Theme" in the market place there is a theme that sounds like what you're looking for. And its meant to work with ADW which is the launcher that comes preinstalled with CM6.
lol I remember seeing that one, but it looks like someone puked cyan all over the screen >_<
Also, I'm looking for more of a simple rom theme, and not so much actually changing icons/buttons.
In fact, if anyone can teach me how to change colors (lock screen, battery icon--so it's cyan and not green, incoming/ongoing call screen, other notification bar icons--alarm/wifi/mobile network/signal strength/etc, menu/setting font colors, icon highlight color, etc) manually, I'd be just as happy to go through the labor myself (..i think). A point to a tutorial would help too
EDIT: nevermind. I found some tutorials and stuff in the theme forums. I'll just read up there and figure it out.

[Q] ADW Question

I downloaded adw themes, when i hold down an icon to change the icon picture not all the themes are listed there to choose icons from. How does it decide which themes to let me pick icons from? I am using the gingerbread theme but i prefer some of the icons from the senses theme. Ive tried to see if i could just get the icons from that theme and apply them as pictures for the icons but i cant find them. Thanks for any help with this in advance.
Im pretty sure that the themes dont have icons for all of the apps. Only the main ones that the dev decides to make new ones for

Question about app icons EmotionUI theme

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to figure out if I can create a EmotionUI theme which also changes the icons of individual apps.
Is this possible?
I know some system icons are named as for example: com.android.browser.png
Would I simply have to find the name for the app icon and change it to for example: com.whatsapp.png?
I don't know how to find these values if this is the way to go.
But I would very much like my theme to be able to change ALL icons I could possibly make for the apps I have, not just the system icons.
Also is there some sort of emotionui forum this question should be posted? I couldn't find it...
EDIT: I also found out I am unable to change theme. I can change the appearance of the current theme I'm using by taking stuff from other theme's, but when I apply a other theme the theme will stay on the current one and doesn't switch. This includes the lockscreen theme and some other things I wish to still change like fonts and such.
(This might have something to do with me soft bricking my phone found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/ive-soft-bricked-phone-p7-l10-t3258350)
EDIT2: Okay it seems like this method is working. I just use an apk extractor to check which value an app has. For whatsapp this was indeed com.whatsapp.png which worked. However for com.android.vending.png which is google playstore, that one doesn't seem to work. I would like to find out why...
This way I can have all my icons in a custom theme
EDIT3: after my factory reset in my other post I couldn't change the themes anymore.
