Minimal Matte Eris port

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.

I talked to the creator, he said he will port to eris for 10 pounds.

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!

haha... nice... i'm sure we have enough people that want it and would donate a little here and there... I'm trying to find out if I can accomplish this myself first... there is a theme converter in the Android development section and I'm seeing if can be used... then I would share of course!

I don't get it, I used the minimal matte MM and got everything except the icons (which is fine by me). What ROM are you using?

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.

[MM] Remove Clock from Status Bar

Ok, hearing about the possibility of burn in on the screen of my brand new phone broke my heart. But it doesn't have to be that way. I usually have either Beautiful Widgets or Weather Widgets on my home screen so I don't need to have another clock in the status bar. So I removed it. (The burn in that has been reported to be from the AM/PM.
OK, now for a couple pre-requisites:
Obviously you must be rooted.
Download Metamorph from the market.
Please have Clockwork recovery installed and a backup made.
You MUST BE deodexed first. You will boot loop or worse if you are not. Here is a link (credit Frostman89) to download a deodexed update.zip for your phone. Please, read this.
Download the file and put in on your sdcard in the AndroidThemes folder.
Open metamorph and select unzip new theme.
Click on services.jar when that is done extracting, and it will ask you to reboot when it's done.
Be very very patient, it will likely take a long time to reboot. This might also include seeing the lockscreen for a second and continuing back at the bootanimation once. (It did for me)
After that, enjoy your new clock!!! err, lack of clock!
As usual I am not responsible for what you do to your phone, all releases are tested but there are multiple configurations that can give you problems. You are applying this at your own risk, I may help you if you have problems but don't blame me if you brick your device. Thanks

Or you could just remove it that's what I did.
Seriously, I knew how to do it so figured I'd give people the option. Not every one likes the same thing.
I wish there was just a way to remove the am/pm without having the twenty four hour clock, but as far as I know there isn't. Most of the time...except saturdays and early sunday morning I know what side if the day I'm on.

Would it be easy to remove the clock totally from a stock rom with root. I don't like Deodexed, but I hate having the clock up there. Good work though.

xUltimate is what I used in the past. It worked to deodex so may work to remove clock too..
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

Awesome! Thank you for this! And thank you for the detailed instructions, esp regarding having to be deodexed.
This is exactly what I was going to request for the exact reason.
One question... would I be able to apply the accurate battery back on top of this, or does another theme have to be made?

You can apply the battery mod and any themes as long as they don't replace the services.jar. I have both working right now.

[ROM] Geared Romage v.02 (WIP)

This is my first attempt at Rom development. After flashing many Roms from great developers here on XDA I have decided to try my hand at it. I'm sure you might ask what's different about this Rom compared to others you have already used. All I can say is this, I have taken the elements that I have grown to love from my favorite Roms and Themes and baked it into something I can be happy with. I hope you will be happy too!
-This is a work in progress-
Everything is not quite what I want yet, I still have a ways to go.
Link is in 2nd post!
Here is what I have so far
I am working on converting all green elements to red- not quite there yet but close.
-Features-
Deodexed and Zipaligned
Bloatware removed
This is based on the latest build 3.26.605.1
My thanks go out to all the great developers that have brought us this far!
Specifically I would like to thank
lllboredlll for pointing me in the right direction for the "Notification Menu Power Control Widget" you can find this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853667
snq- for the power menu reboot option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776495
Disclaimer- Flash at your own risk
Full wipe is recommended

To do list-
Convert all green elements to red -still missing some png's
5 column app drawer
Most recent apps in notification
Theme sense lock screen bar to red
Theme rosie dock bar to red
Change log-
v.01 For testing
v.02
Geared Romage v.02

Nice! I've yet to try and cook up my own rom, but I'd imagine it's a huge learning experience. Looking forward to seeing more of your releases as they continue to get better and better.

So I was just thinking and the notifications will probably be a little too "filled" with the recent apps there too. I personally use my phone alot while im usb tethering and more stuff pushing the notifications downward would be very annoying to me. Just a little thought i had.

Well that was just a thought I had. I am working on a few things right now. The recent apps idea was one, but you are right, so i may look at some other ideas.
How is it working so far?

Nice ROM, I Haven't Installed It Yet. But I Have Two Questions:
1. Can We Change The Font In Your ROM Into The System Default?
And Two
2. Can We Change The Battery Icon? I Personally Don't Like The Number Percentage On The Battery.
Other Than That, I Like The Look Of Your ROM, Good Job!

I Went Ahead And Installed The ROM Last Night, Overall Quick And Snappy ROM.
The Only Things That I Didn't Like Was The Themed Market, Also It May Just Be Me But My Battery Drained Pretty Quickly On This ROM Which I Found Strange. Not Sure Why.
Other Than That, Great And Snappy ROM. I Look Forward To Seeing What You Cook Up Next For This ROM

I am working on a Theme port atm so that is why I have been so slow for an update. You should see this Theme this weekend as long as I can get the original Themer to reply with a go ahead permission. I am also working on some new updates to this Rom so hopefully if all goes well you should see an update to it as well.

I have been getting great battery life, but I don't know what apps you are using so I can't diagnose what the problem is. I will work on fixing the market theme this weekend before my next update. I appreciate your comments, it only makes me better at this!

[Q] Is there a way I can get my notifications to be Black instead of that dull gray?

That's really all that I want, I don't really care about an entire theme.
Is there an easy way to get notifications like these, or is there a theme that is already like this that I can flash?
Thanks!

I'm working on one for you, been awhile since I've done this though so no promises.
~~EDIT~~ I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct file to replace. As I said its been months and file names seem to have changed. I have one more idea and after that I'm tapped out.
~~EDIT 2~~
Ya man, can't find the right file. Sorry. If you can get someone to tell you what file in systemui.apk needs to be replaced I can tell you how.

Have you checked out the UOT Kitchen over in the Android themes section of there forums? You can do alot of different things. Search for UOT Kitchen. I would enter the link, but I'm on my phone.
Edit: Here is the link for the UOT Kitchen : Uot
Go to that link, click Kitchen, Pick the choices of what you would like modded, when you are finished, click the File Upload tab, where it says Select your rom from the kitchen list choose system files. Enter you framework and system.ui where it asks you to. When your done go to summary, and and choose Submit files to kitchen and go to files pickup area. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and your flashable zip will pop up. Put on your sd card and flash. It sounds complicated, but after you do it once or twice its really cool.
Hopefully that helps a little. If not, sorry I wasted your time. Have a good night.

Are you referring to the notification bar where the clock and battery icons are? If so, its the statusbar_background.png in the Systemui.apk
Sent from my super sleek NS4G, powered by TeamNekkid.

If your referring to the notifications in the statusbar you can theme it easily with ZipThemer
Create a folder structure like so
Mms>res>drawable-hdpi
In the drawable-hdpi folder put the icons you want. The names ( I thik) are stat_notify_sms and stat_notify_mms. A good size is 38x38 pixels
Then go back to the main Mms folder and create a ZipThemer xml with the path set to Mms.apk
Edit: I made a ZipThemer xml and file structure for you. Just extract the zip, goto Mms> res> drawable-hdpi and put those two images in there then apply with ZipThemer
Remember if you use ZipThemer for the first time, goto the apps settings and select update edify
Here's the zip I made

Hey everyone,
first off, my apologies for replying so late. I've been busy with some ****, but finally got around to flashing the Theme I made in the UOT Kitchen.
It's looking pretty damn good to me. I was able to make the notifications black, and changed the notification bar itself a bit as well. I'm very pleased with the look so far, but as was stated in this thread, the whole process was extremely easy. Maybe the hardest part was waiting for the damn thing to be ready for download...lol
I'd post some screenshots of the notification bar, but with ShootMe not working anymore and since the Screenshot system that's built into CM exits out of the notification bar whenever I want to use it, I won't be able to provide you guys with any for now.
If anyone wants to try out the theme, I've attempted to attach it to this post.
Thank you all for your help!

There is a slight delay from the time you tap screenshot to the time it actually takes it.

[THEME]OpenZio-ICS-Alpha

I've scrapped my original idea, started over, and have been adding parts of ICS from around XDA to the OpenZio framework. This is a work in progress and this thread will be updated as the theme progresses.
Download - http://db.tt/VYTpvjmD
Installation instructions
1. Download the flash-able zip from the link above.
2. Shutdown your M6000 Zio.
3. Press the power button then quickly hold both the power and call buttons until fastboot appears on your screen.
4. Using the Android SDK use the fastboot boot [image name here] command to boot the recovery image.
5. It is highly recommended that you perform a backup of your current system before flashing this!
6. Install zip from SD card and select this theme.
7. Not really necessary but wipe dalvik-cache before rebooting.
8. Reboot and wait a few minutes for the system to start up.
9. Enjoy the theme, there will be more updates coming soon!
Screen Shots - Coming soon!

What's new?

Signal icons
Notification drop down design
Blue highlights
Dark menu instead of white, text is still black but I'm working on changing to white because it is hard to read.
Lock slider resembles ICS
Working on
Adding ICS keyboard to the flashable zip
Making SystemUI work with the framework
Adding ICS ring lock, currently the only option for that is WidgetLocker

I moved on to the Cricket Indulge but I still have my ZIO to play around with so I thought I give your theme a try. I assume that this is an openZIO theme and will not work over a stock ZIO. You might want to clarify this for all the noobs around here.
I really like what you have done with the notification drop down. The text for the battery and 3G indicators are too small for my aging eyes, but some will like it. The ICS keyboard is a is a nice touch, way better than stock.
If any openZIO users are looking for a fresh look they should give this theme a try. Looks like you are off to a good start I have noticed no other flaws other than the grey text on the black menu and you have already pointed that out.
Keep up the good work Mattix.

Should work on the stock rom but there will be the openzio notification background and say OpenZio v2.1.2.
The only changes in the framework so far is the png's for the theme.
I'll be working on updates and if you want I can drop a metamorph file for rooted users to try on other devices, I just have to be careful of which parts I can add to the morph so there isn't any boot loops.
I'll see if I can find blue or white 3g and other icons. I can use either a blue or white signal icon... What do you guys think?
