sorry for the packaging error

I just tried to flash through metamorph its saying that it doesn't have a certain file for ot to be flashed through metamorph

Yeah I tried it and I get the samething.

The theme control file exists in the .ZIP, but Metamorph isn't picking it up. Even if I place the .THM file and .ZIP in the AndroidThemes folder on my SD... NO WORKIE!

how to get this to work in metamorph:
1) After u download this file to ur SD, use a file manager such as EStrongs Filemanager.
2) Find the .zip file that you just previously downloaded, click and choose to unzip/extract it.
3) Find the new folder u just extracted to and open it.
4) U will c 2 folders. Delete the Mac one & copy the other to AndroidThemes (located in the root of SD card).
5) Open Metamorph, click Open Existing, find the folder again and then then .thm file.

well... I got this to work, but must say that the image quality is really poor. It looks sorta 8-Bit on my MT3G...
are there any other boot animations available for metamorph?

I can wipe, flash and fully restore my android in less than 5 minutes. . HAAH XD

WTF??
good thing i created a back-up before i applied this piece. . theres a hidden (no data) file that screws up the entire sytem. . wipes all critical files and everything is FC. . plus the image quality sucks !

[Theme] Kalagas Mixed Theme for FROYO 2.2 Special Edition RC1

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.

You need to completely remove Launcher Pro then install the launcher pro apk file. It's an apk file not an install zip so you need to copy it to your SD card then use whatever file browser your using and install the apk.

If your downloading LauncherPro-0.8.1.1.apk it is an apk file, it can be opened with compression software so the icon might look like a zip file but it's not.
Try it this way if you have adb installed on your computer
Open the Command prompt window for ADB. Copy LauncherPro-0.8.1.1.apk to "android-sdk-windows\tools" folder.
Type
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*Launcher*
adb push LauncherPro-0.8.1.1.apk /system/app
exit
Reboot phone.

Downanimation is for when you power off the phone. You can leave that alone.
Yes if you do not rename the old bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zipold it will over write the old file.

now how do i get it from the pc and into the actual system file??? not the sd card
edit!!!!!!!! nvm got it in there!!!!!!11
Edit 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it tells me i cant move it into the system/media???

You can push it through ADB if you have it installed but I don't want to confuse you.
1. Plug your phone into the computer. Mount disk drive. ( depending what rom you have you might have to put it in internet pass through mode then usb disk drive)
2. Drag the file onto the sd card. Unmount phone.
3. Using your favorite file manager( RECOMEND ROOT EXPLORER!!) move the bootanimation.zip from the sd card into the correct file folder.
4. With root explorer the correct file system should /system/media folder
inside the media file folder will be the old bootanimation.( rename it to bootanimation.zipold
5. paste new bootanimation.zip reboot and enjoy

Make sure root explorer is not mounted as read only. toggle it in the upper right corner

it wont let me rename move or copy from sd into sytem on file manager but im going to look into root explorer... thats a pay for app right?

Yes but it is worth ever penny and a rooted users best friend. You only have to pay for it once and will transfer to another device in the future with your gmail account. I have five devices that have my gmail account and all of them have my paid apps.

still tells me that i cant rename and or copy or move!!!! WTF!!!! lol.. u think i can flash this??
Edit and i cant get root explorer yet!!!! lol but file manager everything shows up like i can just flash it like a rom??? wht you think?

I made a flashable zip. I'll upload it in alittle bit

I know it's the long way round, but you could probably extract it from this:

Im assuming you have a file manager installed (Root Explorer, Es File Explorer)
You have to long press the app, after moving into proper folder /sysstem/app/ and set the same permissions as the others (I cant remember which ones they are exactly but you will be able to tell once in the file system).

You didnt follow the instructions. You shouldnt be trying to install anything because the .apk's are not signed.
However, if you move supernote.apk and supernote.odex into system/app and set proper permissions and then reboot it will work.

still cant install this app. I move both supernote.apk and supernote.odex to system/app. try to set permission in many different ways, but this app still not be installed. i guess i give up.

Are you setting the permissions exactly the same as all other apps in system/app and are you rebooting?
I cant remember which set worked for me - I downloaded the Dump and the ROM but I know one didnt work.
Try both.

Yes, there are two types of permission: rw-rw-rw and rw-r-r. I alredy tried and reboot but still didnt work. I download the dump image. Trying down the Rom now.

Ok. Using the .apk from the ROM, i got the app installed but FC upon opening.

finally, got the app working.
+ get the app from ROM link, not the dump link
+ copy supernote.apk to sytem/app
+ using root explorer/es file explorer, set permission : read-write for user-group-and other (rw-rw-rw).
+ reboot

Can someone please save everyone a lot of trouble and post the .apk from the ROM?

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings
