Make sure you are trying the right version. I use an older version that uses like thm extensions or something.
To the post above, MM does work as I have used it many many times and use it now for rotary lock. But I do use an old version as stated. Not the newer and that seems to do the job.

Droidkevlar is correct. Metamorph updated and now requires the themes to include an xml file instead of the old thm file. Your zip files are probably formatted for the old program. I did run across a thread that linked to a program that updates them. They are also pretty easy to update manually. There was a video on YouTube on how to make the new xml file. Sorry, but I do not have any links atm.
--------------------------------

Since I am done watching Lost series finale, I can post the link for the old MM apk. This is what I used. Hope it works out for you.

If it doesnt, I can always upload the apk later when I have time. Now its time for bed time before work. Just let me know.

Now you do know that MM isnt supposed to work with our phones but if you use a Sprint ROM, like Aloysius, it will work. Which ROM are you trying? Which MM?

Re: A lil confused about meta

Aloysious v12. it worked with 1 file I had. Haven't tried others yet.

how could you use MM on leak? it needs to edit system files and im pretty sure you cannot do that without root. and last time i checked, leak doesnt have root yet.

Ah, thought you were using a leak, which doesnt have root. You are using one with root on it. That clears that up. And ya, I have noticed for the MM that I have used that worked, the ROM has to be deodex'd.

UPDATED - Cognition 2.2 Beta 9 (+v2.3b4) monochrome status bar and battery mod

UPDATE I modified the Cognition 2.3 Beta 4 (Froyo) framework-res.apk and put in the monochrome battery mod. Power button menu works fine with this. I'm not quite sure who all created these I just mixed them.

Normal disclaimer: I'm not responsible for this not working on your phone or causing your phone damage. I can only guarantee it works on my Captivate with Cognition 2.3 Beta 4.
EDIT: Because the framework-res.apk is different on the latest Cognition v2.3b1+ (naturally since it's a different Captivate Froyo version), I created a new framework-res.apk for those. It's attached here. I will probably only keep the oldest and newest that I have available here. The first is for Cog 2.2B9 and the second is for Cog2.3B4.

Thanks so much for this...exactly what I have been looking for and looks great!

Essentially yes. Because I'm not too familiar with ADB, I used Root Explorer. This is the exact process I used.
I first ransferred meter-framework-res.apk to my SDCard on the phone. Then opened Root Explorer on the phone and navigated to sdcard. I copied meter-framework-res.apk to /system/framework folder. I then renamed the original framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.old. Then renamed meter-framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk. Then finally rebooted.

[Q] Armani Font APK?

I have no clue how to pull things out of the source, or out of Cognition 3.02 for what I want. I'm looking for an APK for the Armani font. Anyone able to produce that or point me in the direction of where to download it? Thanks in advance!

Edit: apk removed

does this work on other phones like the streak?
ripped out the ttf files from the apk and they work like a charm on my dell streak... loving it.

I made a clockwork flashable ZIP so I could try this out on Serendipity; grabbed the fonts from dg's Cognition ROM, and they look great. Attached the ZIP if anybody wants it.

Weird; yeah, I got an installation aborted when I just tried to install it. I think it might be a bad upload...gonna try the version still on my computer. And maybe reupload the file.

Yeah, the ZIP on my computer got fudged up somewhere between my computer and XDA. Fixed it and tested it; installation via recovery should work fine now. ZIP is attached.

thanks for that, now Phoenix is a little more to my liking

Yeah, it just replaces the default font in the "system/fonts" folder, so any custom font APKs should still be usable.

Now my transformation is complete....

Maybe I am blind but I cant see any difference...anyone has screenshot of how it looks?
I still use Times as I like it best but I want to see how this font looks like.

This is an APK I've had in my apps folder for quite sometime now. I don't remember where I got it or even if I made it my self, but it works like a charm. It appears as a new font in your font selection window so you can still use the default one if you don't like the Armani one. I like APKs way more than recovery .zips because you don't have to restart your phone to use them

There was a screenshot I posted a few pages up, but here's a comparison; stock Android on the left, Armani on the right:

[MOD] EI22 odexed Circular 1% Battery mod with CRT OFF (it's back)

This mod is meant for people like me, who generally like the stability of the stock rom, but want a better battery meter and the CRT off animation. It may break custom roms and will not work on de-odexed roms.
I just made my first mod. I used UOT kitchen, which is a really cool website to cookup minor mods for most roms. You folks probably knew about it forever, I just discovered it. All hail the creators of this website!
http://uot.dakra.lt/
Anyway, this mod was based off of the framework and system file extracted from my phone which is running:
Stock EI22, odexed with mkasick's kernel and CRT Off Mod Custom and non EI22 roms may not like this mod.
It also includes the CRT-OFF mod that was posted by Tortel1210 (I had that installed when I did the mod.)
I don't know if the kernel version will matter or if it works on any other roms, all I know is it works on my phone.
Flash it using CWM 3.x, I strongly suggest making a backup in CWM (nandroid) before flashing this, just because it works on my phone doesn't mean that it won't cause your phone to burst into flames

Would you mind sharing a little bit of how you made this mod with UOT? I tried last night to do some customization using it, but it didn't quite work. The only thing that changed was my font ...
I uploaded my framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemUI.apk files, but maybe I selected some of the wrong options? Did you have to do anything in particular to get it to work?
Thanks for you help!
Oh, and thanks for the battery/CRT mod. It worked great!

You're welcome.
Here's how I made this mod. Your steps will be different depending on the mod you do.
Go To: http://uot.dakra.lt, click on Kitchen. Click on Battery (or whatever mod you are doing), select Use this mod. This brings up a list of possible styles and options. Pick what you want. Click "Generate Preview" if you want to see what it will look like. Continue along with Popup, Lockscreen, or any other options you want to modify. You only have to go into the options you actually want to use.
Click on File Upload. Under update-binary, Select "Type Galaxy"
Where it says "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files" Select System files.
Below you will see boxes to upload your framework , twframework-res and SystemUI files.
Go to Summay screen. Click "Submit Work to kitchen"
Let's see, how does it go now....
????
Profit.
Anyway, that's the best I can remember. There is a howto section on the UOT page, and the xda thread for it is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829
I take no credit for this great tool. I'm barely smart enough to use it, let alone write something like that. The sigs at the bottom of the website are:

OK, for those of you who have installed this mod, I'm sorry. For some reason it breaks the TW launcher. (I don't use it so I never tested it. Told you I was a noob).
DO NOT select TW launcher as the default launcher, or you will be stuck on an infinite loop of FCs.
If I figure out how to make one that works I'll post it. Otherwise, the only way to get TWLauncher to work again is to restore the original framework and systemUI files, which I don't have.

did you take the file down? i was interested in flashing this. I never use TW Launcher anyway. Can you PM me the file? Thanks

thats unfortunate, just a bug in the kitchen or something? I saw this thread and made a similar battery mod with the kitchen. Chose the one with the smoother looking blue circle.
Anyway, touchwiz is still working for me, no problems.

Hmm, I might try some odexed themes that way.

All that I have tested this on is CWM3 purple and stock rooted EI22.
The kitchen's website says:
"Flash your downloaded zip in recovery.
Zips are compatible with Clockworkmod 3"
Maybe clearing caches and dalvik will help?
I don't know how using CWM 4 will affect the results, perhaps that's be why it didn't work for you. Hopefully you have a nandroid backup.

Should work unless your odexed, but I don't think the stock ROM is...

Works perfectly denverg, good work (and a stupidly quick reply ). Many thanks.
One question though before i attempt out of boredom, would replacing the default settings.apk in /system/app be enough to replace it (back to default or to your transparent one)?

Yep. The only thing I changed was the images for the widget in settings.apk. So, if you replace what you flashed with the stock Settings.apk, it will go back to normal. In fact, just going into my ZIP file: system/app folder and deleting the Settings.apk and then replacing with your original Settings.apk will allow you to use the ZIP to flash back over the top.
I hope that made sense

Made perfect sense, cheers. Keep up the good work
