Thanks workshed for all your work on the GingerBread ROM. It is one of the best. Wondering if I can get some help tracking down the green guitar and blue themes or wallpapers that were used in GSB v2.2. I am now on GSB v2.8 and looking forward to going to GSB v3.0 and need some direction on how to obtain and reinstall these themes/wallpapers. Apologies for asking such a simple, non-technical questions but have been unsuccessful in finding through searches. Again thank you, thank you, thank you for breathing life into the Eris.
Using root explorer I was able to find some apk files (/system/app) that may contain the themes/wallpapers, Androidian and Cyanbread. Can these be copied and installed in subsequent GSB releases without causing any problems or is it a lost cause? Judging on the lack of replies I am guessing lost cause but would appreciate any help or direction.

Those apks are the stock themes that come with the CM7 Roms. I'm not sure how shed setup the releases for those roms but my first thoughts would be that he built those into the framework of the rom. If this is the case then the wallpaper would be in the res/drawable folder inside the framework-res.apk and then the icons would be inside the res/drawable-mdpi folders in framework-res.apk and some in the System-UI.apk.
I will look closer at those apks. Thx for your reply Condemned.

Sorry if it's in an obvious place, but I've been searching a better part of the day for a compatible buuf metamorph theme. I read someone's post a few weeks ago about how they had used it. I found an xda link but it was only flashable for cm roms (I'm running celb) and it just gave me a boot loop. I even tried mm versions for other phones just to try with no avail. If there is one compatible for the eris could someone gimme a link?
TIA

I have a buuf metamorph for the Sprint Hero using Fresh, but I can port it to another ROM.
Just spending time on updating my Buufed ROM right now.
If there is enough interest I'll give it a go.
That would be VERY awesome of you! It would be great to be able to theme my CELB rom with that instead of just "blue or pink."

It's the Cyanogen ErisLightningBolt rom by Conap.
even the buuf icons found in the market for free & are a nice addition to a buuf rom as well as many other themes

Would love this!
I see it was long ago, but does anyone still have that buuf theme? I got some icons off market, but I have seen there is some missing. Wallpapers, keys and such. Would be great!
I ported the theme from Tazz's Buuf theme from his older 2.1 rom to one of his Froyo versions. It's not difficult using Daneshm90's ThemePorter. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
If you can't figure it out, let me know, I have done a few. I can do one now in like 10 minutes or something as long as I have everything I need downloaded. You'll also need to sign the rom after you are finished. If this is beyond your level of expertise, I can do one for you. Just let me know what version of the rom you are using. We can use Crunchy's theme too on whatever rom, as it might be a little more in depth now than the original port that Tazz used.
Thanks! I do not yet know much about signing...It is on "the list". I'm gonna give it a wack first at reading though. May very well take you up on the help however.. I am a bit behind in things. I really appreciate ya spreading the good stuff around! Make sure to have an easy day!

the frameworks are different...you would have to swap out the images between the two themed fascinate framework and your mesmorize framework...as well as make any xml edits to replicate those in the fascinate theme
Thanks guys. I've got a few themes I made for the meseize, well not made but I ported them from themes that were made for the fascinated.

Could you let us know when you get them posted out there? I don't think that anything personal from your phone will be on the apk's. I'm 99% sure that user info is stored in a database format. It's like when you go into "Manage Apps" and choose to delete all application data. The app still works but you have to input your personal info and change from the default settings again.
You might be interested in an alternative way to install MetaMorph themes. Its an app I've developed that builds flashable update.zip files onboard the device by combining your system files with the theme content.
Because it builds onboard using your system files, it preserves existing installed themes assuming one theme does not overwrite the other. It is also capable of installing more than one theme at a time via a single update.zip file.
I developed this app after getting tired of MetaMorph spontaneously rebooting the device near the end of the install process. I typically install more than one theme per new ROM flash and wanted to get all my themes installed in a single reboot. ZipThemer has satisfied that goal for me. Give it a try if you like... its free, donations gratefully accepted

Wow! I have been waiting for something like this. Metamorph is great, but I can very rarely get to the end of some of my themes. Thanks. I will have to try this later.
Sounds great, does it work with all metamorph themes? What about flashable ones? I have also had a lot of trouble using metamorph and wished there was an easy way to go back after using it.
thanks,
-Keith
There have been some limitiations found in the current version of ZipThemer. I'm working on fixing these for the next version which will work with more MetaMorph themes. ZipThemer does not work with flashable themes. It also doesn't create backups yet, so I suggest using Nand backup/restore for that now.

This seems like a good idea. One thought I've had about Metamorph, and maybe you could consider it as an option as well....
The most common cause of theme incompatibility aside from poor theme building or the use of XMLs is the "-v4" tags. If you could do a quick check for the presense or lack of these tags in the target APKs so the program doesn't try to create a drawable-hdpi or mdpi when a drawable-hdpi-v4 or mdpi-v4 already exists, you'd have a LOT more cross-platform theme capability.
Just a thought
Sounds do-able. Can you provide links to a theme and ROM image for which this is an issue? I'd be able to understand the problem and implement/troubleshoot faster... thanks,
Ken

Not at a location where I can browse around too easily, but you can generally look at any theme built for a custom rom vs. one built for a stock rom. Framework-res is particularly common to have this issue, but it can really be any apk. The folders of potential interest that I've seen are:
drawable-en-hdpi-v4
drawable-es-hdpi-v4
drawable-hdpi-v4
drawable-land-hdpi-v4
drawable-nodpi-v4
drawable-mdpi-v4
drawable-land-mdpi-v4
drawable-ldpi-v4
...then of course the same folders lacking the "-v4" would be the corresponding counterpart. There's probably a few other folders that can have a "-v4", but if you just have your script search for that tag then search the target or source file for the same folder lacking the tag, you should be good.
What if I put in general logic to prevent the addition of any new entries in the patched apks, regardless of the folder name? In other words, if the entry doesn't exist in the target it wouldn't be created. Only entries that already exist in the target apk would be updated if included in the theme file.

I wanted to say thank you for this app as well kellinwood. I've been pushing it alot with my themes for adding my sliders and other things that can't be addressed by theme chooser and am debating doing a Sense theme as well and will definately push it for that too. I like the fact that it creates an undo zip as well... Saves a lot of headaches for when people don't do a backup before applying a theme lol. No matter how much you remind people.. backup first... Most probably don't lol. They just don't think about it when they are in recovery I'm sure and if it's a MM they don't think to reboot and do a backup before applying it. Great work man

Welcome to the CW3/Edify .zip Creation/Conversion thread
My main goal in everything I do here is to raise Autism Awareness
Hello everyone,
I am no longer supporting the old thread as most, if not all of them were based on DI18 and or DK28. In an attempt to further contribute and avoid compatibility issues I'm starting this thread for EB13/CW3 compatible zips. I also took down the old repository so you guys don't flash something that will screw up your phone..
If you want something converted/Created you need to remember a few things.
1) IT MUST BE EB13 compatible (especially if system apks are involved ie dialers and other themed system apks)
2) You must attach the apk or zip file you want created or converted.
3) I will not touch paid apps....SO DO NOT POST THEM.
4) My life is complicated so please be patient.... I'll do my best to keep up with this thread.
ALL zips will be posted in my EC 05 .zips repository on my lostandtired.com blog. Click on the "Android Development" page and look in the right hand column..
Also, if myself or anyone else helps you PLEASE click the "Thanks" button below.
Rebuilding the .zips repository for EC05. All zips are located in the right column under Android EC05 .zips on the Android Development page.
Currently Available:

hello, first of all, thank you so much for all your hard work on helping us all out with your skills and spreading awareness for autism. i'm a total newbie, but i can follow instructions very well so i rooted my month-old epic cuz i hated all the bloatware and tried out your midnight rom 5.0. i love it!
recently updated to 5.1, and its great too. i apologize if any of these are just plain stupid requests, but if you are taking requests for custom zips:
1. i like the 5.0 boot and shutdown animations a bit better than the 5.1 animations as nifty as they may be. is it possible to modify the animations?
2. is there a way to remove stock email and sprint hotspot?
3. although i updated to 5.1, i notice that when i install the bonsai eco5 aosp lockscreen, it removes the reboot option from the power menu.
other than that, i have everything i ever wanted and needed from my epic. i understand how busy you must be but THANK YOU! i'm a big fan.
