[HERO METAMORPH THEME] 'grey' and 'black-transparent' for Hero 2.1 ROMs

Hey,
I made this simple little theme for private use - but I just decided to share it
It only changes the appearance of the bottom bar of the Rosie homescreen...
And I also made a clock theme that matches it.
I use it with the [email protected] ROM but it should work with all ROMs based on the Hero 2.1 build.
You need MetaMorph installed to apply the theme.
Have fun

Hey,
the buttons look very nice.
I know, that it is not so simple to make buttons like this.
Good work. Keep up and share your themes. I like it!

I updated this theme a bit - it now has a black transparent bottom bar

can I be nosy and ask what the thing at the bottom left of your homescreen is? Just part of the background or an app?

The glossy bottom bar is very sexy! Please keep at it !

Great Work

Thanks

It's pretty easy please do a Nandroid backup before...
- just install Metamorph and AndExplorer from the Market
- then copy one of the zip files attached to this thread to your SD card
- start the MetaMorph application on your device
- select the zip file (choose AndExplorer if it asks you which app it should use)
- apply the theme
You can also find more information about MetaMorph here : http://code.google.com/p/android-metamorph/wiki/MetaMorph

can you please make it usable on 1.5 ROMs please?

[Q] How to modify apps and themes

First of all thank you for reading this.
I've flashed Darky's ROM v6.0, it was working great. Then flashed this theme, it was still great, moreover even better.
Then I had the idea, what if I make the transparent background of the dialer a little bit darker so I extracted the DialerTabActivity.apk from Darky's ROM, changed the corresponding PNG, saved the new apk with TotalCommander and replaced the original DialerTabActivity.apk in the phone with RootExplorer. It was all right, it was working fine after reboot as well.
Then I had a greater idea, at least it seemed to be a great idea at that time What if I replace the gradient status bar background with a plain black background... I've done everything the same way with the framework-res.apk, yet after restart basically everything force closed. Tried to reflash the theme but it didn't help.
I was wondering what have I done wrong.
1) Why did it work with the dialer the first time and what went wrong with the framework-res.apk?
2) What is the correct way to do these modifications?
Thank you for all your help.

The method was fine. Both modified apks work after ROM reinstall.
Mods attached below.

Install:
Make sure that no custom wallpaper is set from the Gallery, use a stock wallpaper instead for now. At least this caused me problems first.

i don't have balls to try it, because my gingerbread is working awesome and looks georgeous. but the circle mod status bar will fit perfect in my theme... who ever will test it, will get a "thanks" (if it is enough).
by the way: very useful thread!!!
just read this:

have you managed it and how? do you have any errors after that? thx in advance.

i'm one step closer now: i tried to extract the framework-res.apk by adb, (re)place the old battery icons by the new ones with winrar (as a lot of tutorials say on google), gave the framework-res.apk the permission 644 and adb it back to phone. i don't get errors, but the icon is stuck 80%... just when i plugin usb, it changes to charging icon (but this is stuck, too - no animation!)
can anybody try this please? i would like to know if it's related to my build (mdj gingerbread 2.2) or if i made some mistakes?! editing stat_sys_battery.xml should not be necessary, since i just replaced a few icons, right? thx in advance for suggestions.

wrong place

I think i might be the right place as it involves CWM
it's not an app after all when it need CWM (Flashing )

ICS - GTalk 4.0.3 - Fully Transparent

I have it inverted also in another thread in the Fascinate section but it's more of a Holo theme than Blacked Out...
This thread is for the Transparent Version tho. This is a huge accomplishment since I'm pretty sure this has never been done. There have been transparent Talks but none of them had the chat screen done also.. so this is really cool!..
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU OR YOUR PHONE
Installation Guide:
FOLLOW PRECISELY
1. http://bit.ly/403TalkNOmanifestEdit Download this zip file and flash it in recovery or rom manager... once the device reboots, check your talk.apk and make sure it's working.. it'll be partially themed. If so, reboot your phone again.
2. Once the phone reboots, download this http://bit.ly/403TalkTransparent and flash it in recovery or rom manager.. Once it reboots you should have a fully transparent GTalk.apk
3. If you lose Talk at any point or just wanna go back to stock, download this http://bit.ly/stock403Talk .. it's the stock Talk.apk and flash it
This install method is the only way I got it to work and credits to TravP for collaborating with me on getting this to install due to the weird GApps issues when we touch the manifest.
*known issues*
Only thing I can find is the notification pop up menu.. it's white with black text. We're still looking into this one...

I have a Fascinate, not a Gnex.. So I don't know if this will work on other ICS Roms. Feel free to try it and feel free to add them to a zip file that will support your device.. The zip file I used is from the GApps I installed with the rom just to ensure it installs.. I'll add a "how to" guide later for anyone that want's to know...

works great for me. one request, would it be too hard to still leave black on the top navigation bar? or maybe a darker tint of some sort... I use the awesome plasma live wallpaper and the part behind the name while in a chat is almost exactly the same color as the wallpaper.

Thanks for this B-boy. I'm digging all of this. Everything is working for me just as expected.
Was wondering if you might spread this love to contacts/people?

Whoaa its awesome bro...thx
Sent from my SCH-I500

Thanks guys... glad ya like it...
Its a tough app to theme since it has install issues so I plan on leaving it as is..
Contacts is a biyatch... it force closes the dialer so I plan on compiling it from source to invert it.. along with calendar and the built in keyboard....

Well you sir, are the tits.

[MOD]3minit Battery-Boot animation-Centered Clocks OE2

This is for the Edge folks that are rooted and on OE2 and would like the option of running the 3minit battery Mod. Some of these will have colored status-toggle icons and matching centered clocks. I'm starting with blue and will add more as I get time and if anyone is interested in these.
If you are running a theme from the theme store but want these toggles to show up, in your root explorer, go to your root drive, data/app, find your custom them (there will be several files for it) find the one that ends in "lock". Copy-move it to your SD card and reboot.
If you want all 30 toggles install this app, go to the bottom and "add all notification toggles". Big thanks to [email protected] for this useful app. It was made for Sprint users but a lot of the stuff works on ours too.

Here's a link to his post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
I got this to work on the one Odexed rom I tried. Make sure you have a root explorer on your phone. Flash this file first (this is stock but will give you a centered clock). https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347798382
After rebooting, your phone will not have a status bar or toggles but you will have access to all your apps. Open your root explorer and go to system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm folder and delete the two Odexed files. Reboot and you are free to proceed with the other steps if you want the 3minit battery mod. You must now install the 3minit apk below before you flash any of the other mods.
YOU MUST INSTALL THE 3MINIT BATTERY APK FIRST OR YOUR SYSTEMUI WILL CRASH! Flash these at your own risk, make a backup first. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

I will give it a try.

The red toggle looks pretty sick, nice work on the color variations.
