Hello all,this is just a theme I put together by mixing the themes I enjoyed most. I would like to give credit to Mark's theme,Superfly by HTCclay and the original artist for Spinx battery and 3g round signal icons. This a morph so put on SDcard and use Metamorph,if you get an error message when it unzips just return to Metamorph and pick existing theme then the xml. I'm pretty new to sharing this stuff and don't know exactly how to zip so Metamorph works from the unzip new theme command. So far I have tested this on Chromatic,CM6 stable and nightly. I personally run it on Biffmod 2.0 leaving like a jet plain,love this ROM just not the plain. This should work on any FROYO ROM without the 200 battery images.

I have a Droid, 2.0.1 (Sholes ROM) and it is rooted. I have Metamorph installed, even loaded a couple of themes - worked great!
Then I found this place and this very long list of themes. Even found the file for metamorph themes. Problem is this:
I have no idea of what the rev/version is referencing:
CM
cyanogen
AOS1.6
etc, etc.
Can someone tell me what I am looking for???
I figure that AOS is the Android Operating System but I am at 2.0.1, not 1.6. Are there just no MM themes for 2.0.1 or is there another thing I should be looking for???
Marsha
CM
cyanogen
AOS1.6
etc, etc.
This is telling you that the theme works on Cyanogen Mods (for G1/Mytouch3g)... version 1.6 (Donut)
Things made for CM and most other arent going to really work for the Droid. We are running Android 1.5/1.6 and even with using eclair, our stuff is ported so we maintain only having a drawable folder, even if there is a themed eclair ROM, if the theme is made for the G1/My Touch, only the drawable-mdpi and drawable folders are themed, we wouldnt edit things in the drawable-hdpi folder since out phones don't use it. You on the other hand need the edits in the hdpi folder since the Droid is a higher res phone. MetaMorph would be a good opportunity for you to learn the basics of themes and use that to put them together for yourself. Of course, maybe a backup of your phone before applying.
Since nobody was making one, I created my own themed Nexus Launcher originally designed for use with xROM v1.0-Eclair 2.1 (however this should work with any other Eclair ROM - YMMV, so let me know if you encounter any issues). Below is a Metamorph that I created that will theme the Launcher.apk to look like the Nexus Launcher we all know and love to drool over. ^_^ To install, use the MetaMorph application (available for free in the Market) and then select this zip file. Please DO NOT RENAME the ZIP file, for the ZIP name needs to stay exactly as it is (nexuseclairlauncher.zip) for the application to be able to read the .thm file. Anyways, enough talking, link below!

Try rebooting to see if anything changes.
Well unfortunately the only ROM I have been able to test the metamorph on was with xROM v1.0-1.1 (for Eclair 2.1).
Worked on kings eclair 2.1 v1.3
I tried it on openeclair and it didn't work. After metamorph launcher wouldn't open so I rebooted and it wouldn't boot up.
Great idea thou and ill try to get it to work for openeclakir and ill add a link.
This started out as just a clean and tidy black status bar mod for my own personal use with Dwang's ROM v1.17.1. I wasn't happy with all the black themes out there so I made my own, then decided to get rid of all the gross default orange as well. I ended up putting a bit of effort into it so I thought I'd share it here.
It contains a new boot screen and transparent Eclair launcher tabs by me, as well as various edits of existing images from around the place. I've run everything possible through optipng to keep your phone speedy fast.
I used parts of DBeCe's negrodwang, AndroidFiend's Black Bar, Pay's Black Elegance, cybapaddy's Black Paddy, Ace42's Espresso, xxmonsterx's xxandroidx, bbuchacher's Super D Black and djengizz theme templates so many thanks to all those people for their work. Big appreciation also to Stericson for his MetaMorph app, Ohsaka for his colorChange.jar app, Danation for his thm/xml converter and xenio2000 for making sense of ninepatch (.9.png) files.
Let me know what you think!
BlackAndGreen.zip (1.22Mb) - v2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?fgjwaednmgg
This file is for the old version of MetaMorph which takes THM files. Here's a new XML file - http://jetsons.pastebin.com/8B98y4gH
You'll need Stericson's MetaMorph to apply this theme!
Changelog:
r2 - I'd accidentally left ticker text black. Fixed.
r1 - Initial release
Todo:
- Make the Search box outline green (textbox_search*.9.png)
- Make the orange status bars green (how?)
Modifications:
EternalSoil's gChrome Green Launcher - made to suit this theme
Also the wallpaper in the screenshots is by me. If you'd like it, here it is:
Looks good. Thanks!
Hi Jamie,
Quite glad to see that someone is still working on theming Dwang's - will give it a go, it looks preety cool! Thanks for sharing!
Installing the theme
Hey, how do you install the theme?
I changed the name of the zip file to update and tried to update the image, but it gave me the following error:
E: No signature (580 files)
E: Verification failed
Am I doing the right thing?

This is a Morph, not an update.zip. You need Stericson's Metamorph app as linked above. He's updated the paid version since I released this theme, so now the theme works with the free version.
Hey!
Love this morph! Went just fine on Dwang 1.17.1 and I wish more people did morphs for dwang.
Any chance you would be making other colors?
I decided I didn't like the standard looking launcher tab so I edited AndroidFiend's gChromeRed launcher to be green to go with this theme you made.
I have uploaded it for you to try. Just apply it with MetaMorph on top of the BlackAndGreen.
His red version is HERE
This is also my first time editing any morphs.
Of course the credit goes to AndroidFiend (who was helped by Djengizz)
All I did was change the color.
Thanks
I probably won't do other colors unless there's a massive demand for it. It's easy enough to do anyway, just time consuming. If anyone wants to have a go at it then by all means feel free to use the base I've made.
Cool work on your Launcher mod. I'll add it to the OP
I was going to try and edit it to make it a different color but the .png files are not in rgb, which makes it a long long process to change it from the green. I'm just using GIMP to edit it. Do you know of a quick way to change it?
EDIT:
Figured out it's actually pretty easy. So I'm in the process of changing a bunch.
If anyone's still interested in using this with the newer MetaMorph, I've converted the THM file to XML and chucked a pastebin link in the first post.
how difficult is it to port a theme over? i really like Reefermattness's Darkness theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813497) - but with as vivid as the colors on this phone are, i love the dena994 theme ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770507) - but its an i9000 theme.
i want to take the dialer, the semi-transparent notification background with the Galaxy S symbol, and maybe even the dark look in menus and such, from the Darkness theme, but the notification pull-down look and the icons from the ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA theme, and combine the two. im using the Perception ROM, which is i9000-based, so i'd assume id be able to use elements of the ANDRODeNa theme.
how difficult would it be to do so, or an even better question, what would be the steps to do so? (if anyone wanted to take the time to do so, i wouldnt mind that at all either - and donate even).
Since your using an i9000 rom, you'd be able to just use the second theme as is, but the darkness theme would be complicated and I'm not entity sure how you'd do it.

No I can try to explain better tho
1 grab the theme you want
2 extract the apk using 7zip
3 Keep only Res folder
4 using winsows's search search for ' XML 'and del them all
5 put Res folder in a folder called the same as the apk you extracted (without the extension)
6 grab any metamorph theme for sgs captivate and replace the folder you just made and using metamorph apply 'sub theme'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there you go .
If it's a metamorph theme - it should probably work.
But I would back up your framework-res.apk and wherever the dialer theme is pushed too before attempting it.
Worse case scenario is your phone will boot but will "boot-loop" when attempting to go to your home screen or go to a black screen.
You'd have to re-copy over the *.apk's affected and you would have your phone back.
Another way to do it is before flashing to your latest and greatest (or copying over the *.apk's) you could open up the APK files using WINRAR or your fav zip program and copy the *.png's into them overwriting the existing ones then flash or copy the modified APK files back into your system.
It's a pain... but it does work I've done it many times with positive results.
This theme comes as either a MetaMorph or flashable .zip
So i found this while poking around in the Hero forums, and thought that everyone in the Eris community would like to give it a try. The threads say that this will work on most CM 6.1 ROMs, but I have only tested it on CELB 3.9 using the flashable .zips
Original Flashable GingerFroyo Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864451
Here's the MetaMorph thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864931
If you use the flashable .zip, Dont forget to change the theme of your status bar.
Settings-->CyanogenMod Settings-->User Interface-->Tweaks Extras-->Select a Theme-->gingerbread
DONT FORGET TO NANDROID!
