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.

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!

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.

*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!

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.

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.

Switch file names to the one you want and resize. Thats all it takes. Ive ported from Hero/N1/DROID/G1 to our phones with just doing that and no issues when using MetaMorph.
Im not quite sure I follow you? Why would changing the name help? Also the maker of this theme only makes it flashable via recovery as of now. Is it possible to port it to metamorph?
by the way I am using your theme as of right now Kevlar. I like it alot!

Some times the file name might be different from G1 to the Eris. So then you have to rename it to the Eris file name. Easiest way to do it is to compare from an Eris ROM. Then you have to resize to our size.

I am really new to all of this. Can any theme at all be ported to our Eris? I would really like to have this one on mine running CM6.
The theme is on Droid-forums.net and is 24k Black glass by Cuttalott. I can not post links yet. Sorry. I do not believe posting that is any rules infractions, but I do not post here very often.
Being from Pittsburgh, it obviously would be right up my alley, but I don't think it is possible. He doesn't have it running yet on CM6, but his other ones are. Is this anyway possible or is it out of the capabilities of our device. Like I said, not trying to bother people here, just too new to know what can and can't be done.

Any theme can be ported. Just look into making MetaMorphs and compare file names and sizes. Its that easy. Only time consuming part is resizing.

I agree it's an ok theme, I grew tired of it pretty quick. I've attempted to contact creators of other themes that I like that are avaliable for the G1 but no replies. I guess not too many people have the Aria.
well whatever you guys figure out. i wish it looked like bx-destiny.but instead of orange and black...what about a deep blood red color. anyways...i loaded it on one of the earlier alpha releases of cm6, but there is no wipe to answer or the end call button....weird...i guess not set up for the aria, which is nothing but a touch-screen. anyways....if anyone could figure out if we could get that theme for our phones, i think id stop *****ing about themes. id like a professional/fun look to it w/ black widgets like google search since i use that thing like underwear. any help would be greatly appreciated. and there has to be the "Aria Samaritan" somewhere right???
right then, ill pray for the Aria Saint who creates this theme.....

I so agree I too like and installed the Bx-destiny by LordSeth theme on a earlier version of cm6 for the Aria and had the same issues, with the newest cm6 release it doesn't work at all. I even posted complaining and asking if there is any plans to release a Aria version and got no answer. The creator doesn't seem to know english very well either. I would really love to see that theme on the Aria. I'm ok with the orange, red would look nice and so would a nice blue. I'm not picky!
This a theme for Xtrsense. I have tried to get as much orange as possible in this theme. I am not done with this completely yet because there are some more things I want to change but I have not had time to do it yet what with life and all.
This theme is largely based off of droidkevlars theme kevlarmash. So most if not all credit goes to him.
Also thanks to zach.xtr for a great rom.
Anyhow here is the theme with some screenshots. If anyone can think of something else they would like to see in it or how to do some new things feel free to let me know.
Disclaimer: The only rom I have tested this on is xtrsense. I am sure it will work on most 2.1 roms however I can not confirm this. If anyone can confirm this for me that would be great.
Disclaimer pt2: If you do this you are doing it at your own risk.
Just wanted to add if everyone wants to post a request for a color other than orange, once I finish with this I will make a new one in whatever color is most requested.
Man if you could make a tarheel blue one, that'd be awesome. If not i'll survive tho haha.

i mean tutorials are the way a lot of us got going, or really got into it
basically though, just start by using 7zip to take apart the frameworks from another theme and look through the drawable-hdpi or hdpi-4 folders and see the changed images
its a lot to take in though really...not something that can be picked up in a week or something...but dont get discouraged

i don't think you understand the concept of a tutorial
to bo honest i dont think i do...thats why im trying to learn
You really just have to jump in. I use winrar instead of 7zip . But to start, open up a theme that already works for the fascinate ...and just look at the folder tree and understand where everything is ... after that, Start replacing images. XML editing is going to take a tutorial, but there is a lot you can do before you take that step. It takes time ... and patience. Pretty much just jump in .you have an advantage being that this phone is so easy to recover if something goes wrong. It is addictive though ... be warned. The theme I'm working on has consumed my life almost haha.

The point of a tutorial is to show you what to do. So you should give them a shot instead of writing them off.

while i *should* update my tutorial to include more of the basic stuff, the reason most of it focuses on the more advanced xml/.9 things is because in december/january that seemed to be the most pressing issue for many.
i was getting dozens of pms a day on androidforums/xda/irc with many of the same questions, and while i was trying to be helpful and respond it was getting to be a bit overwhelming....so i figured id answer the most commonly asked things first and work back from there...but then dl30 dropped, then eb01 and i got tied up by porting the themes/ports i maintained.
now that im working on more detailed themes that takes up most of my android time...but ill see what i can do about updating the tutorial
Thank u man...sorry for being such a noon :/

So is it really hard to combine elements from different themes to make a new theme? There are several different ones that I love parts of, but I would like to be able to pick and choose and piece one together...
Like for instance, I like somebody the dark themes, but I don't always like plain toggle buttons, and I love the stock gingerbread statusbar with the little vertical battery meter that has the percent in it.... some themes I did the transparent pull down, etc....
I'd like to be able to mix n match
How hard is it to do that?

Is there certain parts of Themes that you should not try to copy over to other themes?
are most APK's ok to copy from one theme to another? I have many themes that i really like alot and then i found some areas of one theme i like but would like this or that from another. But overall i give you all alot of credit as you all do some amazing work!!!! THank you all
