I have themed my MT3GS with what I think is an awesome looking theme. The problem is I did not do any of the images myself, I picked, poked, prodded and pulled various images from some very great themed ROMs such as RemixedDarkBlue, ProdigalSunColorblind version, GTXSlide1.1, CR_mod1.35_OTA, BlackSlide1.3, and a few other various finds from different areas here on XDA. All different devs and versions and I can't really recall exactly what from where I pulled things from.
I did start off with doing a basic port of the BlackSlide1.3 into CM6.1.1 for the black keyboard and base of the theme, from there I opened up the .zip file and manually extracted and placed misc. images from the various ROMs I mentioned before and themed the icons, status bar, and color scheme of the overall ROM. I put the Fonts from the GTXslide in here as I like a little style. Hope you guys enjoy it.
This is the stable release of Cyanogen 6.1.1 base with a few of the apps removed, if you are already using that release just flash this over it to theme your rom. I did use the ADW App from RemixedDarkBlue as I like the trash on the bottom of the screen, and I like the icon in it as well. I placed that trash icon into the 3D Gallery to conform the rom slightly more ;-).

The question I have is how would I go about uploading this and offering this to the community while giving props to everyone I pulled images from? As I love how my phone looks and thinks others may as well.
P.S. I'll post Screenshots soon as I find a screenshot app if you guys would like a preview of how it looks. It's a Dark/Black theme.

Great attitude my friend, and to solve your dilemma you dont need to say the exact names of the authors, just point out the name of the themes and that the icons and stuff are not yours.... thats it, this is sharing comunnity so i dont think anyone would come and say "hey thats my icon" lol dont worry about it
Im glad we have some more people trying to contribute
Sounds awesome so far! I hope you find a way to package it all up.
As far as screenshots, I use "ShootMe", myself. Not sure what else is out there, but that one works well enough for me

Can you also possibly make this a metamorph theme file too? That would save me a lot of time

I didn't use metamorph to theme the ROM, I used something called Theme-Porter_beta_3 by Daneshm90 here in XDA. I can supply the files I got from the theme porter (aprox. 30 meg .zip file) for you to push into a CM6.1.1 ROM. In that zip I supplied the themed ADW from RemixedDarkBlue and the ADW that comes with the CM6.1.1. I Honestly just pasted those app and framework files into my CM6.1.1. (***NOTE=the ADWlauncher inside the app folder is the one that comes with the CM6.1.1, the standalone ADWlauncher is from RemixedDarkBlue***)
If you could point me in the direction of what metamorph program you use, maybe I can be of more assistance. I'd love to be able to package this in an easy to distribute kind of way if possible ;-).

Awesome! Haha, yeah I actually had that for a while before I found out you could change the way it takes a pic. :x Glad to hear you guys had fun though
As for the theme, I really like that unlock screen. Very slick!
Thanks, got the lockscreen slides from alt+dark posted in the dark hero theme from somewhere. **Reminder** none of themes images are mine, I simply found and compiled them all to make a singular theme

This is the app i use, http://www.appbrain.com/app/metamorph/stericson.xda.metamorph
for now this is the theme that i hav applied using metamorph http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...nse-201-cyanogenmod-61-stable-nb285-15122010/
but I really like how you made your theme dark n stuff its very nice , if you could make this into a metamorph theme it would be greatly appreciated, but if not its really no problem.
This is tremendous. Thank you so much for sharing.
Is there any way I can change ONLY the settings Menu?
Im reeeeeallllyyy liking it
What do you mean 'only' the settings menu? You want a different menu theme or something?

I like how my phone looks right now. I would only like to add this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=485783&d=1294675798
I see, can push the settings and settings provider apks from the .zip into your ROM via adb. if you like the font style, push /system/fonts. Hope that helps.
I realized after flashing this over CM6.1, the Menu button unlocks the phone ignoring what's checked/unchecked in Cyanogen Settings. Flashed Cyanoginger over this and it's back to normal. Could it be this theme or something else?
The menu button unlock deals with the 6.1.1 update, Cyanoginger is 6.1. All I've done was import image files. I didn't touch any of the .xml or any other base framework file. If you like 6.1, here is a link to 6.1.0. Hope that helps ;-)
Little spoiler though, I am working on a from scratch theme that will be dark in nature still, but will look kind of like brushed metal instead of shiny. I will be posting screenshots once I get all these keyboard/button transparencies and colors situated. This new theme will take a few weeks or so to complete because I will be doing everything from scratch. The Keyboard, selection buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, status bar and icons, and possibly the icons within the apps will be completely redone. I tried to learn the meta morph technique but find the Theme Porter that @migueltherocker turned me onto much better since it is very simple and works flawlessly. Feel free to post things you guys would like to see and I might try and implement those ideas into this next theme .
Snap.
I.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work!
Are you sure Cyanoginger is 6.1, though? The thread says 6.1.1.
Oh, my mistake. I know that the 6.1.1 has a known issue with the menu key unlock. Last I checked Cyanoginger was 6.1 and I believe the menu issue was not introduced until 6.1.1. I've only fooled with the image files and left everything else intact. Maybe the latest nightly removes the menu key issue? I'm simply running the latest stable 6.1.1 available on the CyanogenMod site. It never bothered me as the phone never leaves my side and I am attatched to it at the waist pretty much.
Alright, Just letting you guys know I am dropping making a new theme for CM.6.1.1 due to the CM.7 Nightly release. If anyone wants me to further work on 6.1.1 I will do so after I finish my first custom theme for CM.7. Otherwise I'll be dropping this project.

Hey,
After discovering SuperD-blk (Nexus theme), I realized how much I liked the animations, Nexus style launcher, and the green highlights. As I wanted to try other builds but continue to use the theme, I decided to make a metamorph of SuperD 1.6 [Black\Nexus] for use on all Donut 1.6 roms, and share it for those who enjoy that look and style as much as I do.
I have noticed applying this morph causes the rom to rebuild the dalvik-cache and ZipAlign the apps, so it might take a while to boot after applying it
All credits goes to HTCClay and benbuchacher. They put together an EXCELLENT build, which speeds like no other donut build i've run across.
Updated on 1/30/2008 All links below have been updated (Uploaded 12:30am PST)
Newer update includes system-wide green selections and more green in the launcher (Thanks to cloverdale for the "organicide" pngs from his Nexus theme!)
Various improvements to Launcher.apk images (more green, less orange & minor color gradient for the app drawer )
Removed unneeded wallpapers built into Launcher to reduce morph size
Only Compatible with Donut 1.6 roms (Tested on Super D 1.6.5\1.6.6 Beta and Cyanogen 4.2.13)
Features:
Nexus Style Launcher
Animations from SuperD 1.6
Green Highlights
Colored notifications for Gmail & Calendar
Whole Package (all of the above included)
4Shared Link
Mediafire Link
SuperD Animations only
Mediafire Link
4shared Link
Please give me feedback
Tested using MetaMorph 1.8.2 \ 1.9.4
Enjoy!
Borrowed these screenshots from the SuperD rom, as it is identical (although the search bar is black). Also, I didnt make any changes to the lockscreen, but I figured Id show a SS for kicks
trying it now!
Using Metamorph 1.8.2 and CM 4.2.13... completely failed. The only change I've noticed is that the text for the notification bar is now white, which sucks because it's now white on white.
Good effort though, I guess.
btw- screenshots would be nice to help me see what I'm missing
Screenshots please!!!

Thats pretty strange, cause I tested it on my Cm-4.2.13 (nandroid backup).
Did metamorph give you any errors? I replaced almost all the images (and a lot of xmls) in the launcher and framework, and if it is working it should at least give you some modified images.
Let me know...Ill do some further testing to see whats happening.
EDIT: I modified the zip file a little bit, pulled out some extra crap, and confirmed it applied successfully to SuperD Beta 1.6.6 and CM-4.2.13.
Let me know if you continue to have issues
I'm going to end up reflashing my rom and maybe some other fancy things to get metamorph working again. I haven't been able to fully get a metamorph theme to work in a while, so this SuperD theme might be just fine. I'll come back edit this post when it's all finished and (hopefully) working.
I get "The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could not be read or missing."

I'm sorry it didnt work for ya, I even downloaded it from 4shared and reapplied it to mine to see if there was something being corrupted during the download. I am currently using MetaMorph 1.8.5 donate, if that makes any difference. I attached the .thm file for you to see if it works.....just rename it to .thm and drop it in /sdcard/androidthemes/SuperD
I am pretty new to metamorph but I think i followed the scripting parameters correctly. I attempted to remove the comments from the bottom to see if that is causing an issue.
If anyone has an idea, please feel free to chime in.
EDIT: just downloaded MetaMorph 1.8.2 free from the market to test it. Seems to work fine....I'm actually a little confused. Please try another theme and see if MetaMorph itself is working properly. Thanks and let me know what ends up happening. Would love for everyone else to enjoy this....
Works on CM 4.2.13, just not on Super D 1.6.6. Thanks for the help man, always appreciate the ones who helps out!
Using it on SuperD 1.6.6 Beta as I type to keep me over till the STABLE release......shouldnt be any different, as it is just rebuilding the .apk/.jar files w/ different images and XMLs
I was wondering if you could put together the white one also?
Nice! What part of this makes the highlights green? I've been wanting the green highlights for a long time!
I'm already using Super D, just missing the green highlights.

Actually, I am not quite sure, as I assembled this as a way to test\learn MetaMorph. Some xml in the framework-res does all the green selections (I love that too, main reason I made the morph)
I believe there is a green highlights metamorph if you can find the post called "Post your Morphs" in this same forum, if that is all you are looking for. You could also try just applying the framework-res part of the theme instead of applying all the modifications.

If all you are looking for is the Nexus style launcher, try just applying the Launcher.apk part of the morph. If not, let me know and I'll see what I can whip up
I meant the white notification bar. I don't remember if the black themed SuperD has it, but the text message notification is green on the white one. Which looks awesome together. Anyways using this on WGbuild Y2.6 works great!

Green highlights are .png and .9.png files, which will be located in framework-res.apk in /res/drawable (or /res/drawable-mdpi in 2.0).
By the way, if you want green highlight in ALL system apps, download Nex^2us (in my signature) and you are welcome to add them to your theme.

Thanks for the info. Good to know for future 'morphing'.
For those that have used the SuperD White\Nexus, are the selections green? I am trying to figure out if it is even worth building a white version, as you can add the Nexus launcher by just applying the Launcher.apk
I will probably just keep this morph as is, as it is serving the exact purpose it was created for. I will continue to update it as SuperD progresses though.
@Cloverdale, us your "orangicide" done in the metamorph theme too, or just the full build? Figuring out which one to dissect haha. Thanks!
Nope, no green highlights

Hello everyone, I am hoping some more developers will try to help out and keep this project alive. Hoping these issues might be figured out by someone.
Issues:
3G and 1X dormant icons are default HTC as well as USB
White clock text
Clear button is dark with black text
Some things worth noting. The stat_sys_data_usb.png icon and the stat_notify_sync_error.png icon are already in /system/framework/framework-res.apk but the weird problem is for some reason these icons are not showing up correctly, and instead they default to HTC. Other icons in framework-res and com.htc.resources are not doing this.

There is a TON of info on editing task bars and other theme elements in the cdma hero section mater of fact a good deal of their stuff works with various eris roms. Some of the roms running over there are legend or eris based now we have ports based off the Sprint roms so theyre themes and various add ons working also (ive tried a few) as far as text and icons I believe it has to do with the .9pngs etc...give it a read and there are a ton of helpful heroc fellas. chubz, vince just to name a few.
Yeah I've been waiting for someone to come up with a fix for the clock font color, but it seems to be fairly difficult to find? Or perhaps other things are being worked on by the limited amount of devs we've got on the Eris.
you forgot me the guy who was trying to finish it, and posted it for all!:d

I'm a super noob at this, but I spent part of the day yesterday trying to fix my title bar with the icons I wanted in the Aloysis ROM. It seemed like the text color and icon image files were referenced by xml files? Have you tried looking there for fixes to your issues?
For the record there is a hero theme the Aloysis 4.1 ROM is based off of which may be configured close to what u want. I wanted to configure mine to look more like yours but I got frustrated and gave up.

I wanted to start a thread that people could post their results on which metamorph themes work on what Froyo ROM. Obviously we have Kevlar Froyo Mash (thanks KV looks great on KFCv24). Was just wondering what else had been tried and worked.
I have tried a few different themes (some of which have taken on KFCv24) and will report back asap. And i will also provide screen shots.
Edit: Thus far I have found certain portions of Dr. Cloverdales Magic Elixir...
Browser.apk--->changes internet icon to look like google chrome
calender.apk
camera.apk
contacts.apk
ADW launcher.apk--->themes the ADW Launcher
music.apk
phone.apk
settings.apk--->changes the settings icon and the look of the settings menu
vending.apk--->changes your android market icon to the grocery bag
There may be other portions of this theme that take I have not wanted to change the various apks.
There is a metamorph icon that will change the the stock green lockscreen button to blue called BlueRotary that works with KFCv24.
I believe I have taken pictures of the different changes and they are listed below.
Elegant steel is working. A few status bar notifications are missing but everything else is fine.
good froyo metamorph
kevlar froyo v1 and v2 are nice. if you dont like the stock white notification bar you should try this metamorph out.
I use a metamorph that was made for Cyanogen 5.0.8 roms and haven't had any issues. I like the simple black and white idea. You can find it here: http://jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/Black_Effects-v3.2.zip . Original post can be found here on XDA at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673044
In case anyone is curious, this has worked on KaosFroyo, CELB 1.4, and Tazz's roms too. So good for AOSP/Cyanogen hybrids and Cyanogen roms.
updated first post with pictures
i got the minimalist black from the android theme board working on my cyanogen 6.0 ver 4 on the eris. some things are missing but i think thats the theme. also im in love love love with froyo i cant find a bad thing about it.
Pretty much every theme I've tried has worked fine, but not 100%. The fonts and colors never change for me, just (most of) the icons and the framework.

This theme looks really awesome. I like the way the sub pages trail off like they're on the other side of a cube. And the effect of the driod image kinda floating in space is a great backdrop!
I'm running Cognition 2.3b3 on a rooted cappy. It is really an awesome combo, whatever kernal/lagfixes etc are on this rom, with its widgits and interfaces-->> it rocks!! Blazing fast, rock steady, smooth are words that come to mind.
Any info on the compatibility of this theme with the Cog Voodoo rom?
Thanks for posting the screen shots.

Additionally, I have included the Espresso lockscreen (refer to screenshot) in a modified com.htc.resources.apk file. The lockscreen will still remain transparent, I just chose to use a wallpaper, so the screenshot doesn't show the transparent one. Most everything will have the highlights changed to the stock orange color, save a few things in the HTC-specific apps.
Before you do anything, make a NAND backup and/or make a backup of the files being pushed in this tutorial before pushing the ones I have provided. I have not tested this on another phone, as I only have the one that I performed this mod on, but I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work on another phone.
This was performed with xtrROM v 4.5.2. This may not work on previous versions.
Perform the following steps using ADB:
1. Push framework-res.apk, services.jar, and com.htc.resources.apk as follows:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
NOTE: You *MUST* push the services.jar file if you want the clock to appear black on the white notification bar. Otherwise, it will remain white against a white background. Not very appealing, imo.
2. Your phone will soft reboot - this is normal. If you want, you can just force a hard reboot with:
Code:
adb reboot
YOUR PHONE MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO BOOT. THIS IS NORMAL. If it takes an exorbitant amount of time (say 7 - 10 mins.), then it's probably safe to call it a failure. As long as your boot animation hasn't restarted or frozen, don't give up hope.
As pointed out by adrenalinerush12 and jadesdan, you must push com.htc.resources.apk if you want all the notification bar icons to appear white, since the stock HTC file overrides them in framework-res.apk. This means you will also get the Espresso lock screen (which, in my personal opinion, is the best-looking lock screen), but if somebody REALLY likes the boring grey "boomerang" bar, I suppose I can cook one up. Let me know.
com.htc.resources.apk Download:

framework-res.apk Download: Link down - file uploaded to this thread below.
services.jar Download: Link down - file uploaded to this thread below. VERY IMPORTANT: the file is named services.zip at the bottom because XDA doesn't let me upload .jar files , SO make sure to rename it to "services.jar" BEFORE you push the file to your phone.
The reason why I installed 2.1 is so I can have Sense with a black notification bar. Oh well, some people might actually like this. Nice work!
This looks awsome! I love the XTR roms but couldn't stand the black bar.....
The framework and services.jar links are down
EDIT: I should have read the word "temporarily" a little closer.
Freakin SWEET! I love the speed of xtrROM, just didn't like the green highlights and black notification bar. This is perfect for me. Thanks a bunch.

Yeah, you're right, they are down. Damn you, Megaupload!!! I think those two files might be under the XDA 8 MB limit...I'll try and upload them directly.
EDIT: OK, framework-res.apk and services.jar (as services.zip) are uploaded directly to XDA for your downloading pleasure. I don't know what Megaupload's problem is right now. Make sure to rename "services.zip" to "services.jar" - I made a little note of it near the bottom of my OP.
That's odd, because it wasn't down for me. It let me download them just a few minutes ago.

Yeah, I don't know why Megaupload does that. I've had it happen a few times before, and it's never consistent. Anyway, let me know how it works out for you. I haven't officially heard whether it has worked for anybody, so I'm excited to hear back!
Okay, when I pushed both framework-res.apk and services.jar, this is what I get:
Don't know what the issue is, but I pushed it twice to make sure. Still does the same thing.
I've tried both with the MegaUpload files and also the ones linked here, but this is what I get. I've even tried wiping Dalvik and all, but this is the best I can do. You can tell that it's taking, but I think there might be some icons missing.

Hmmm, actually now I remember that some of the PNGs in framework-res.apk are overridden in the com.htc.resources.apk. I didn't think it was so many, though. Try pushing the com.htc.resources.apk, too. If you don't want the espresso lock screen, I can always change it for you later, but I just want to see if that fixes the notification bar icons.
Yup. That fixed it! I actually deleted HtcLockScreen.apk because I like the stock horizontal slide one anyways. Thanks a bunch man.

Hell yes! I was worried that I'd screwed something up. I can be a bit absent-minded sometimes. I'll update the tutorial. Thanks to you and jadesdan for testing!
No problem, but it seems that the notification bar clear button is black.. and so is the text, which makes it difficult to read. Not a huge deal, but. And icons such as a new text message with the stock app are still messed up looking. (With black as the background).

Download and push the new services.jar (services.zip at the bottom of the thread) to fix the black "clear" button. I actually just fixed that last night - took a lot of fishing around to find out how to do it. I know the stock htc apps still have their original look in the noti bar - I didn't want to take the time to change them. Haha, maybe in the future.
Oh, and when my 3G icon changes to 1X to send a text, it goes back to the black icon. Then changes right back to the right 3G one.
i am trying to apply this to xtrSENSE. i've got the white bar working, but the services.jar part is doing nothing. do i have to extract anything or just simply rename it? i have renamed it, but it says not found or something to that effect. i do understand that this may not work due to the fact that this is slightly different than xtrROM with rosie and whatnot.

Cool, so framework-res.apk pushed successfully. You shouldn't extract anything from services.zip, just rename it to services.jar and push it. There are modifications to the smali code in services.jar, rather than just swapping out PNGs, so it's somewhat likely that it won't work. It's very picky - one thing out of place, and it doesn't boot. I've learned that the hard way.
May I ask what you are using for the Sense like clock/weather and the icons? They are pretty cool.

For sure. The clock/weather widget is called "Fancy Widget". It's no longer on the market because the developers received a cease and desist order from HTC (can't imagine why ). Anyway, just google "fancy widget 1.3.0", and I guarantee you'll find it. I wouldn't have a problem uploading it, but some people might take issue since it's now a black market item. Whatev.
By the icons, do you mean the widgets that I have under the weather/clock widget? Those are all by curvefish and free in the market. Just search "curvefish". And if you're referring to the smiley face messaging icon I have, it's because I found a modified vanilla mms apk on a forum (can't stand HTC's slow as hell excuse for a text messaging program). Since that's open source, I've attached it to the post if you want it. Just be sure to delete HTC's mms, or you'll get some weird behavior.

Great, thank you for the information. I have heard of Fancy Widgets, just never used it. I have purchased Beautiful Widgets and used it a little bit. I have searched for a theme that resembles the Sense one but have not found it yet.
I am currently using xtrSENSE so I have the Sense UI. Once Zach updates xtrROM I am going to install that and go back to launcher pro and beautiful widgets for my homescreen.
All credit goes to Kalagas.
I only ported some of icons from original Milestone theme and mixed some of sense icon. Enjoy!
To get screen like shown in first picture, check the following menu option:
Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Input Settings->Phone and Messaging
Get modded LauncherPro from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889036
Changes:
1. Browser tweaked for more icons.
2. Added some more tweaked apps.
3. Battery icon changed to BlueBattery.
Guys, can I have some feedback?
Your pictures really don't do it justice.
I thought it looked pretty awful from the pics but actually looks pretty good in the flesh. I like all blue icons, not a huge fan of the data icon though. I really like the menu themeing, xda app looks much better and the color icons when you push menu in homescreen are a good touch.
Why didn't you theme the new market blue? I don't like the buttons on the dialer either, doesn't look right with numbers but no buttons. Browser looks really smart I'm blue. Circular battery mod would have been good too
Sent from my CyanogenMod Desire HD
Find blue market (not modded by me) in first post. For phone I will post link in a day or two.
How do I apply this theme? I tried using metamorph to do it and it didnt work? Do i just place it on the sd card and flash it like a normal rom? Im really confused and i cant find any help anywhere. The theme looks sick, but i cant figure it out...

Yes, you need to flash it like a normal ROM. By looking at screen shots (I am lazy to post several screen shots) it may look sick but believe me it is fantastic from inside.
