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.

The metamorph addons in trying to use will not work with old metamorph. But then I use the new metamorph and doesn't work. Gives me the same error messages I mentioned before. any suggests?

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.

Couple of screen shots. And in order to get the black clock text I had to deodex the rom. And apply my metamorph.

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.

How to install: Gingerbread keyboard

1. Download the gingerbread keyboard: http://fabdroid.com/downloads/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip

What v is this one?
Sent from my Tazz Vanilla using XDA App

why cant we just install using astro or something like any other keyboard and turn it on and off in the input settings? why do we have to push and write over the stock one?

This is a V2 bug fix version. You dont want the stock version after using this trust me.

awesome!!!
this keyboard is great!!!!!

Worked great thanks,the only thing is that you have on your notes to flash the apk but that was not the way i got it to work,instead after moving the files from the zip like you said i also copied the apk file to system/apps rebooted then installed the apk file and it worked lik a charm,just an fyi.

The keyboard is awesome. Thanks for the instructions.

This worked for me also.........nice looking board

I cannot get this to work for the life of me. granted I'm trying to do adb from memory and I havent used it in forever.
adb shell
mount
adb push
that's the order right? I just cant get it to work for the life of me.
the explorer built into froSHEDyo won't let me copy/move files to system

okay, i finally downloaded super manager (great app btw) and got the two files into the app/lib folders
then i try to install that apk, and it wont install!
so now I don't have keyboard... luckily i still had an apk of that thumb keyboard so I'm using that for now.
I'm gonna go try that flashable .zip :/...

Flashable zip works couldn't get this method to work

Does this theme run smooth? And with what launcher does it work with?
Sent from my M860 using XDA App

Yes, it runs the same its just a theme. It's not like a theme in windows. This just replaces stock images that is on the phone. Any launcher works.

Resore the Nand backup that you made right before installing this theme If you use ZipThemer to install themes instead of MetaMorph, it has a much less painful "undo" feature.
OP, I've attached an updated version of the theme that also installs build.prop into /system/. Note that in this updated version, everything is in the root of the zip file instead of inside the HTCFroyoAscend directory (required for compatibility with ZipThemer).
And that comment in the <useless> tag looks awfully familiar, just like the one I put in my HtcBlackStatusBar theme for the Eris
Ken

what nand back up????????

I actually used your xml file, was to lazy to recreate it since I was using your theme as a reference. Hope that's ok =] the rest I did =] thanks!
With the newly packed theme, It's strictly for cricKet users now. Ill repack one for MetroPCS users when I get home.

I accidently activated the theme using metamorph without making a back up. What can i do if i want to revert back?

Well I used metamorph to install the theme and it looks good...but my notification bar didn't change to black. Only black boxes around my 3G, signal, and battery. Did I do something wrong?
Sent from my M860 using XDA App

If the notifican bar has black around the icons on it the bar has changed to black,its not showing up because the buildprop file needs to be edited. Use root explorer and long press the buildprop file and open it in text editor,find hw_customizetype=01 and change it to hw_customizetype=02 save changes exit and reboot.

Thanks dude. Works great now. Looks awesome

Honeycomb-esque Pandora widget

I made this for myself... it's also in the Vibrant theme forum, but I figured you guys over here may be interested in it.
If anyone has any requests (Perhaps other colors?) I can try to churn those out, might not be at top speed this week (exams! D: ) but I shall try.
Screeny:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see the notification bar Icon is themed also, it's transparent. There's also a themed app icon. And of course, the widget has been themed. It's the latest version of Pandora as of now, I'll try to keep that current too.
Let me know if anyone wants other colors!

Could you make an Orange version?
Hex color: #ff7b1d

Alternative
If anyone would like an alternative honeycomb-esque one, I released one in the Captivate forums, but I figure I could share here too for anyone who wants to use it (or modify it). Make sure to uninstall any previous version beforehand.

Orange version attached (Here and in OP).
And nicely done Kaik!I like how you did the edges of the inner box... Did you apply a lighter gaussian blur?

I used resources from the xoom dump and modified them instead of attempting to recreate the coloration/effect

Thanks AWESOME!!!

I'm going to say you probably have to use a filemanager to push them to system/app, I don't know how to sign .apk's, or whatever you have to do to make them work with installer.

USB3 is great upgrade, a lot faster data transfers between computer and phone.

Hi, avetny, if I just root my F340L would I be able to install your mod? As I can see from the screenshots, you made statusbar trasparent, too, right?

A couple things. First, what model are you using. Second, since I'm the only one who posted a fix I assume that part about it not working was to me.... So the file I uploaded was for the guy using the T-Mobile device, if yours isn't it won't work for you. Finally, and pay attention please. there is no need for him to put a red backup your data warning. That is ALWAYS the first step when you're modding your phone. That is one that doesn't need to be stated and you feel it does I highly suggest you hold off with further mods until we have a recovery.
