Problems applying themes to Manilla 2d

Hi there,
Just installed the Manilla 2d software on my kaiser, still getting used to it but have a couple of problems:
1) it doesnt rotate when i open the phone,
and 2) I cant apply themes to the M2DC software?
I have downloaded the black and white diamond theme and one other, have unzipped the primary folder and placed it under the windows directory, however everytime i run the M2DC software to load it, it doesn't show under the list of availible themes afterwards, so i cannot apply it???
Any help on the above matters?
Cheers

landscape mode isn't fully developed for the kaiser yet, so when you slide open the phone it won't rotate. the rom i'm using has some degree of landscape support, but nothing like the TF3D of the touch pro and such.
and i had the same problems with M2DC. i tried to apply themes and change settings but nothing took effect. touchflo wouldnt even start up.
anyone else have a solution?

Click sig.....
You will see the link you need

Next go back to the " Themes " tab, to get your new theme, press add. Then navigate to where you downloaded your theme, highlight it and press OK. Your theme will then appear in your settings box. Press " apply theme " and the theme will start to load. You will come to a theme option screen, just press ok. Your theme will then install itself. It will automatically restart TouchFlo and then your new theme will appear on your screen.
If i do the above, the device is "working" but the theme doesnt appear???

Okay, so you have M2DC started and you are on the themes tab. Can you see your theme in the list ? then you click it and what happens?

Thats the thing, the theme never opens in the list, despite the device working as if it is loading it!

As i don't know if you are doing it correct even with instructions?
Here is a video note i made a backup with M2DC ages ago so not in video and the new theme in the .zip "not extracted in location you see"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6987LIsv-Hs

thank you so much for that video ! basically all i was doing wrong was extracting the zip files as i read it "unzip the contents of the theme file"!!
Woot

Unchangeable calendar widget skin!

I flashed the dark dream theme which changed my calendar widget skin, and now I can't get it to change at all.
So far I have tried flashing another theme with a different calendar skin, using ADB to push a new CalendarProvider.apk, and even reflashing Cyanogen's 4.2.3.1 but NOTHING will get rid of it!
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this bloody thing off my phone!

Delete the apk. sometimes the file doesnt overwrite

Texas Longhorns - MetaMorph [G1, MT3G, CM 4.2.x]

This was a requested port in my NFL thread. As I stated, I would port any of the NHL, MLB or NBA themes I've done for Open Home to full themes.
Thanks and Credit goes to:

The new themes are done using Stericson's, Kastro and Riku's new MetaMorph method for themes. Instructions are in the 2nd post, including links. It is your responsibility to read the instructions, failure to do so will only make me laugh at you when you post "How do I make it work?"

I moved them all to one page on my site instead of having to update 10 threads every time there is a new ROM

MetaMorph script instructions
Assuming you have the sdk downloaded and adb setup:
1. Download the white notifications file and put on the root of your sd.
2. Flash this as an update.zip
3. Download MetaMorph.zip
4. Inside MetaMorph.zip is a folder MetaMorph, extract that to your tools folder inside your sdk directory (so you should have a MetaMorph folder with 2 files inside of it.)
5. Create AndroidThemes folder in the root of your sdcard, place the Team-theme-full.zip inside. Once done, unmount your usb, but leave connected to PC
type the following (you can copy also, to paste in the command window, you MUST right click, CTRL+V does not work)
Code:
cd\
cd your-sdk-directory
cd tools
adb remount
adb push MetaMorph /system/bin
adb shell
cd system/bin
chmod 0755 mm.sh
chmod 0755 /system/bin/zip
mm.sh -i
Press 1 for full theme
Press the number for Fallout3-theme
Press 1 to continue
Once it is complete it will give you the command prompt again (#)
Once back to the command prompt type
Code:
reboot
Your phone will reboot, then your set to go

Longhorns Blow!!!!!
ROLL TIDE!!!!!

I'm not a fan of either so I don't care either way, but Longhorns was requested, Tide wasn't. I have a Tide theme too.

sorry for questions flashed white notifications no problems went to flash frameworks res and it says not a valid theme control file.

You just have to reapply that part of the MetaMorph file that you did before. So open the MetaMorph app, chose existing theme, navigate to the folder where you have the Texas-MM file. Pick the folder instead of the zip, inside the folder there is a Texas-mm.thm file select that. Instead of doing the whole theme though, you only need to select the framework-res.apk and apply it.

I dont like Texas...........................but this Texas Longhorns Theme is off the chain...........Still-------->> SAINTS all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since I applied this theme my market app crashes tried to reapply vending.apk using MM to no avail. Any ideas? The market downloads and as soon as it starts to install i get FC

What ROM do you have? and is that the only thing giving you an FC?

I applied it again, it did it to me the first time. I cleared the market cache and went to downloaded something and it installed fine. So just clear your market cache. If it still does it for you let me know.

Can you try and clear your market cache, that fixed the issue when I duplicated it.

Cool, I am still not 100% sure why it did that still. There is nothing edited that should've affect it.

kind of wierd do you think this theme will work with GDE home replacement?

I've never used GDE so I don't know how it imports from the stock theme. I know the other Home replacements allow you to chose the stock theme, I'd assume GDE has a similar feature?

it does work.

[Theme] SHKvBLK for MCR ROMs: 11/02/2010

I accept NO responsibility for any damage caused to your handset before, during and after updating it with these THEMEs. Using custom THEMEs has risks attached to it, and can be dangerous. Proceed with caution.
Description
Basically I have taken Kos's theme and made it more of a black/grey theme. I have gone deeper into the OS and replaced most of the green stuff with black/grey etc.
There are also bits from themes found at xda for other Android devices. Ended up doing a lot more than what i should of really
There is still a bit of green left and most of it is where it makes sense to have it (some check boxes, indicators etc).
WORKS ON MoDaCo MCR3.1 & 3.2 Beta's ROM.​
Fixed or should i say replaced, the lock screen for a different one . Hopefully that is it ​
MetaMorph Version​>>>​GET IT FROM HERE <<<​
Update.zip Version​>>>​COMING SOON <<<​
This theme is purely for people who like black/dark themes. Please don't write bad feedback or that it isn't to your taste, as i won't change it or provide reasons for my choices .
Use the attached Wallpaper for use in SenseUI. In Android it is already default
Big thanks to Kos for base theme, tristan for inspiration & all the CREATORS & ORIGINATORS of anything that may of been theirs in some form!!... (u know who u are )
Enjoy.
KEEP A LOOK OUT.​

Details!
Update.zip is 31.8mb in size as its a fair few .apk's
Metamorph file size is just over 5mb, so i have achieved a smallish footprint of this theme.
Modifications
Rework of Android UI
Customised Keypad dialler
Status Bar Icons from HelloMoto
Over 40 apk's have been modified in some way
Changed the Screen Lock pattern icons
Lots of stuff i cant think of.......
*I have only modified the apk's i am currently using on my ROM build (3.2 Beta 5; very LITE version)
Basically i have edited a lot of stuff, changed a lot stuff and borrowed a lot of stuff To make this theme, i like it, now...
And am gonna be making a LITE ROM, based on MCR builds and also a ASOP build based on one of those builds...with this type of theme built in.
FYI
Your Home screens will be reset, i cant do this yet (put them like i want), but in future i will be able to, just need to open the xmls with hextool..will be same result with the update.zip too.
I have used Beautiful Home here in my screen shots for my Home....i just wanted to show you a comparison of HTC vs Android (not much difference)
The Battery Widget is BatteryLife
The Settings Widgets are Beautiful Widgets
The News Widget is News Buzz
I did the Google search bar in the Android UI too
I am ultimately NOT responsible for anything that occurs from use of the provided theme. Use at your own risk and hopefully enjoy it.

How To Install Metamorph Theme
Always BACKUP your Hero (Nandroid or whatever you use)
For best INSTALL RESULTS for Metamorph & update.zip, Re-install current ROM fully, let it install, set up, then reboot when finished...
Then either....
see below for options....
Metamorph Version
1. Download the Metamorph application from the Market
2. Download AndExplorer application from the Market
The above are required, Metamorph uses AndExplorer to search your device for themes
3. Download then copy the .zip theme from this thread, to your SD card to a location you know of.
4. Open Metamorph, and select 'Pick Theme' after it checks your device
5. Select the theme from its location, then Install All (Apply All).
6. It will extract the theme, and a progress bar is now shown in Metamorph as it extracts the theme.
7. It will then install each apk one at a time... it will take some minutes...and some more.....
When it asks to force close an app, please do so.
** I recommend keeping the phone awake during the installation to ensure it installs as quick as possible **
8. When it asks to REBOOT, it probably won't (even in newest Metamorph version), so just manually reboot by turning device off and then on again.
Update.zip Version
1. Download then copy the .zip theme from this thread, to your SD card (ROOT)
2. Boot Device to Recovery mode & flash as normal...
3. Reboot
RESULT
If you already run other themes in some form or another, the best install method above will benefit you most

Nobody tried this yet?
Come on, please leave feedback.

I tried your Theme and its still ob my hero,so i like it.
There is just one thing i dont like:
The dark black coloured Status bar at The Top. Its to dark dir me. When you pull it down its a little more grey, this colour i would like to See as Standard.
Hope you. get what i mean.
Cheers

I get ya bro....
But i prefer the Black bar , thats how i do it....
If you want i could make u a quick Grey bar like the pull down and post later tonight (am at work) and u can just update with Metamorph

right ive installed it this is my first time trying metamorph so bare with me. i followed your instructions above it installed and i then rebooted and ended up with a few problems
-it removed my people.apk completely off the phone
-removed most my widgets from my home screen but i just added these back on
-it completely removed the htc picture frame widget altogether
- when i press the phone button it just brought up a text saying phone it didnt actually open the dailer
- lock screen was still the same
- the pattern password screen was still the same
ive restored my nandroid backup and will try again.

still a no go for me im affraid i tried to install some parts individually but im still having problems. if you could do a update.zip that i can apply from the recovery menu id appreciate it as i like the look of the theme from the screen shots

@ mjcook1984
Thats strange.....what ROM are you running.
For it removing apk's; well thats something i have never seen.
All those widgets, are actually in the metamorph theme too, so it wouldnt remove them.
Try installing one at time.....bit tedious but hey.
Update.zip will come, i made one last night, but it doesnt work fully.
I even sucessfully installed this theme to my own ROM (based on Modaco 3.2 beta 5), it has no rosie etc.
Even tho the ROM didnt have some of the apk's it still installed fine and everything working fine.
I would recommend, wiping, then when fully booted, reboot, then use Metamorph again. NEVER UPDATE a metamorph theme ALWAYS replace.

thers defo something strange i just tried kos-worlds black eclair and that came up with the same problems.
im running modaco 3.1
ah just realised ive not got andexplorer ive been using astro will try again

Hmmm....i tested mine originally on MCR 3.1 (and 3.0 & 3.2) so it should work....
I know you wont want to, but try wiping, reflashing the 3.1 ROM, rebooting, then running Metamorph.
Strange. Have you used any other Metamorph themes before?

no first time ive tried to use it. just tried again with andexplore installed still the same problems but this time the htcpictureframe.apk stayed. i am using a custom theme that was applied from the recovery menu i wonder if that causing the problem. il re flash 3.1 and see if that sorts it

That might be it....
Try again bro

UPDATE.zip now available
update.zip coming to the first post soon....
Posts updated accordingly.

[FONT] Roboto Font from ICS [Download]

Got the Roboto font and its slick! I uploaded it to my dropbox for your enjoyment!
Note: I got this online not myself I take no credit. I only uploaded it.
http://db.tt/bTJM9zRA
To install:
Download file on your phone. Once complete open Root Explorer and navigate to /sdcard/downloads and long press on the zip you just downloaded. Choose to extract all to /sdcard/extracted
If you don't already have the app download Font Changer from the market (free). Once downloaded navigate in Root Explorer to /sdcard/extracted and copy both Roboto font files. Paste them in /sdcard/.fontchanger. Now open up font changer and apply Roboto font!

This worked awesome. Never had done it before and your instructions were easy. Thanks again.
Sent from my BAMF'd Forever Thunderbolt

Anyway to make the font slightly smaller? The default size is kinda big.

Other Method
I found it easier to just download Font Installer from the Market and then select Roboto from the list. Only minor issue was my phone seemed to freeze when I pressed yes to reboot, waited several minutes, did a battery pull, and then everything worked fine. I really like this font!

Yeah mine did the same thing and i did the pull and all seems to be working.

I love this font!! looks great!!

One other way, if you have ROM Toolbox...
Under Theme Settings-->System Fonts. It's at the bottom of the list. Just install from there and reboot.
I didn't have any problems with a slow reboot or anything.

I like how clean and legible this font is...very happy I installed it! Thanks!

Domo arigato for Mr. Roboto....domo...Domo.

Is there any way to install it without root?

possible to have black roboto?

installed and running without a problem...

thank you. I wanted this awhile ago. guess i just forgot to keep checking up.

Is this supposed to change the system font?

sorry to burst in your thread, but thought id make myself useful

yes this will change your system font if you want it too. what else would you want it to change? you can change many things...
Komatoes said:

it depends. if you want, you can use this to change the font on your SMS app, eg go sms or chomp sms. you can also use this font in your eBook app eg Aldiko ...
you cant change the whole system font without rooting though. it would be like... i dont know, installing anything on windows guest mode? thats what root does, take you out of guest mode... or something like that

Links dead, can you post it please? Thank you. x
