Metamorph/restore question? - Motorola Droid 3

Let's say I metamorphed some icons. If I flash a new Rom, that has custom icons built in it, will it overwrite the previous changes I made? Or will it stay the same. am I supposed to do a backup too when I didn't have the custom icons then flash the new Rom? My questions go for roms too I guess then. Let's say I flash the ICB Rom but then I want to switch to the monster Rom. Do I have to backup/restore then flash the new one? Or just flash no problem and have it overwrite the previous one. Sorry guys there's a lot of questions but it all serves the same purpose. Thanks for your help!

I didn't know MetaMorph worked on the D3. What icons were you flashing? I want to change some in framework-res, the Contacts app, and the browser.

Well I downloaded some off of droidpirate. Not all of them worked but some did. Like for example. I got a purple USB connection icon. A red battery indicator ex. But for now I just Metamorphed for some gingerbread icons and statusbar( the green glow one). I'm also stock deadened. But do u know the answer to my question? Lol

Whatever you flash *will* replace any/all images.
You also do not *need* a backup, but its always good to have a current backup just in case.
Also, after you flash a rom, you can always metamorph a theme back over it.

[REQUEST][THEME] Gingerbread Theme for AXURA

Would anybody like to try to make a stock Gingerbread theme for AXURA? It looks like the only gingerbread theme thread is for perception only. I'm disappointed that I haven't seen even discussion of making a ginger theme for AXURA.
So would anybody be up for it?

The gingerbread theme is for any JK3 based rom which i believe is what AXURA is also based off of, just like perception. It should work just fine
Auxura is jk2 and uses jk3 modem

This works with Axura, apply with CWM.

I do caution you backup the folder/file names to follow if you don't want the toggle buttons, custom boot anim and font included:
The folders to backup and restore if need be
/system/media
/system/fonts
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Edit: If need be I'll port the theme later today if possible to avoid people having to use the addon pack.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4610937/Gingerbread_Theme_AXURA_1.1.3.zip
Enjoy! Personally the DJAxeWater is a better suited companion for flashing, just uninstall your Swype and delete /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so .
I tried flashing your 1.1.3. Nothing happened. Flashed over 2.1.
I tried flashing over rc1 and it got stuck in boot.
I'm truly sorry about that, I've corrected the framework and it should work now. Use the same link I provided before.
uhh...?
yea i dont know what your posting but it doesnt work.....doesnt do anything
Having issues with the framework....still trying but it doesnt look good..

Hey, guys, there's a metamorph Gingerbread theme over in the Nexus One forum that works on any HDPI device. Obviously it's not the full framework, but it's good enough to tide you over until you get a full port.

Don't think that will work. The naming convention in the Vibrant framework-res and twframework-res has changed which just equals to more work, not sure if an of the online kitchens even work with them. Sorry guys, I wish I could help you guys but right now I don't have the time to renaming all the images for this ROM.

Didn't realize it was a vibrant based rom. I can try throwing a framework-res together at some point, if someone wants to upload the stock one.

[REQ]Stock themes/rom themes

Can some one please post the CWM flashable stock themes and superclean, backhole, kaoscinate themes, thanks
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
All themes are flashable in CWM. Just flash the one appropriate for your firmware and rom version. Oh, and it might be best to read on this before making threads like these.

do you mean like a "back to stock version of all of those roms?"
really just reflash the rom is the best bet...although i know it does add back apps you deleted and change launcher/etc...i mean its not hard to make one, but you ll have to hope someone wants to bother with it
Yeah like the how the ROM orginaly looks when you flash it, and id rather not reflash the whole ROM, I have this theme problem with super clean wenever a I flash a theme over another theme so I need to flash the super clean theme in the middle of flashing a new one, soooo can some 1 please post it
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
theres already a thread that tells you how to extract the theme from each of the roms, maybe you should search for it.
I'm bad at extracting?? Can some1 please post it??

Droid Bionic ICS Theme for D3

http://goo.gl/P5axT
I took no part in this theme, just simply sharing my findings.
If you are on a deodexed rom, it seems that Droid Bionic ICS theme for UNLEASHED will work just fine. I personally have flashed the theme over MonsterRom 1.1h and everything is working, no force closes. It should work whether or not you use 1% battery increments, as it does not flash a services.jar. It does already contain the 1% .pngs for the battery though. So, it should work on both 10% and 1% increment roms. Do NOT flash the batteries in this thread as they will cause you to bootloop. If you want 1% and are on a rom that only shows 10%, I recommend you flash a rom that has 1% battery, then flash the theme.
Be sure to thank the Themer!
Alright.. so, I have the Galaxy Nexus bootanimation, linear 1%increments, and using whitebread metamorph. I'm also on Stock Deodex. Would/should this still work? I don't get what you mean by, "don't flash the batteries" in this thread.

Yes it should. It doesn't flash a services.jar which is the file that controls 1% battery increments.
So when you flash, you should still have boot animation (I have the same one, didn't change) 1% battery (ICS themed) and new framework, which will remove your metamorph.
Just play it safe and nandroid, unless you have a recent enough one.
Yep, I made a nandroid yesterday, and on the 4th, cause I was messing around with metamorph.
Well sweet, I'll try this out and edit(or reply again if other people replied) my post and tell you how it went.
Edit again - Hehe, never mind. Seemed as though I just needed to read your first post again. Figured it out. Still wondering if I need to put this in a certain spot though or if anywhere will work fine like it did for flashing the bootanimation and 1% increments.
Edit - Works perfectly! Thanks for sharing. Looks like I'll need to make an account on Rootzwiki to thank the creator(s).
Edit - Never mind.. I lost my status bar? Going to try flashing the accurate status bar zip on top of it. Maybe you're supposed to do that and I didn't know.
Edit - Nope, didn't work. Still no status bar.
Will our d3s get ics? Or are we just going to be on a million versions of gb?

My guess is yes, we'll get it.. but knowing motorola, not for quite some time. So I'm guessing we'll have to get it in a ROM.

Will we get official ICS? Yes, probably in about 7 months. We will have CM8 AOSP before the blurred up, crappy motorola version though so it doesn't matter.
Got it to work!
I restored my phone with nandroid before I had metamorph, cleared cache, then installed/flashed the unleashed version, and then before rebooting I went ahead and flashed the battery part too. Now I have my status bar back and a sexy theme.
Thanks again!

I lied, it has 5% battery. We can put together a .zip for our phones though.

Finally got onto a themed rom. Confirming that this works over Monster Rom v1.1i(also confirming you can flash the Rom with this theme on, but you'll have to reflash it afterwards).

As long as there are no bionic specific files in it. The framework and systemui in d3 and bionic are pretty much identical, if not 100% the same.
If you try to flash something else remember to nandroid.

Haven't tested it, but I believe even the stock version is based off of deodexed. Do a nandroid and try it if you want.

why not just goto UOT Kitchen and create your own?
It doesn't work on Saurom. I'm trying to figure this issue out myself.

I'm running Saurom KK4 and use the kitchen all the time.
Works fine for me.
You may need to pull the modified files out of the UOT.zip file and manually place them in the correct locations on your phone.
For me the modded files don't always get updated when flashing the UOT.zip file from recovery.
That's probably the problem then, thanks for the input!

Changing status bar to classic version?

So I want to change my statusbar to the classic style. (The white version from 2.2 and back) So I was wondering if there is a way to do this. I have a rooted samsung exhibit 2 4g running Rebel Rom 2.1. Any help appreciated
Ok.
yes there is. first grab the statusbar.apk from somewhere (anywhere). then replace the current statusbar.apk with the new one. reboot after. note that it may not work depending on screen size. you may status-brick your phone. (if you know what i mean)
Sent From The Phone Of Gamers
I'm a little new to this. So where in root explorer would that apk be? And where would I find this apk and would it automatically change to the classic version after I replace the old one?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using XDA
goto /system/apps (different on nearly every phone) and then replace. the status bar will be missing at first so do a reboot. if you cant find the statusbar.apk file then there is an explorer out there (root) that allows you to search for it. im not sure if root ex has it but try anyway. remember to find one designed for your device. (or one which screen size matches) or you could status-brick your phone. as always something could go wrong if you play about with it so i take no responsibility and assure you if you follow all instructions...both instructions (XD) correctly then you should have what you want.

system ui is only icons and out line. example: hold power to get a menu. the icons will be different and maybe the outline a different colour. thats it. the icons also involve check boxes and things. not settings though.

OK, well the forum for rebel rom 2.1 said that systemui.apk is the status bar.apk for that rom. So if I delete systemui.apk and replace it with retrodroid.apk. will I get my desired goal?
