Metamorph gives me an error message saying it can't read the theme control file. It does this for every file I try. I'm putting the zipped files in the Android theme file of my sdcard. I assume they should be zipped. The main theme I'm trying is darkdream. I have a evo and i'm using frost Rom which has fresh as a base.
Are you certain you can theme this ROM? I just performed a search for things like "theme," "deodex," and "morph" and came up with only one result that was talking about theme'ing the dialer.
Try a different ROM and then try to use a MetaMorph theme and see if you get better results.
changing roms?
I flashed a riptide9 theme through recovery and it works fine on this Rom. I'm using frost because it has the same radio as fresh that allows me to tether with my ps3, but it has less bloat. Can u recommend a Rom that will do both and morph? I thought since frost had fresh as a base themes that work for fresh would by default work on frost
Hello everyone! These are my mods and themes that I use daily and I thought that there might be more like me who would like them, and I said it would be nice to share
So, here they are:
1. AbitofSens - This theme has some changes "inspired" from a sense ROM, like icons, battery, signal stat, settings icons, some other icons and etc. It also has stock Android lock screen. Is not much, but is simple and elegant, maybe there are people who are interested.
2. AbitofSmoothSens - The second theme is based on AbitofSens but with Smooth Sense percent battery with white text.
Manny thanks to the guys from Droid Incredible thread
3. Azreil`s Notifications Tab - changed icons and backgrounds.
4. SmoothSense % Batt Mod - This is just the percent battery with white text and some minor changes in the status bar and notifications.
5. Dani31's Stock Galaxy S % Battery - As the name states this mod is all stock but with stock % battery. Credits go to dani31 for the battery icons, I only did the modifications in orther for the mod to work on JPK.
This is for JPK Froyo only!!
For other ROM versions post your original framework-res.apk and settings.apk.
Just flash using Recovery (2e) expecting that you allready rooted the phone, rename the file in "update.zip", you know the drill
If you use CWM Recovery no need to rename, just flash.
Enjoy!
Cheers!
EVERYTHING IS TESTED AND WORKS!! IF BUGS FOUND PLEASE REPORT IN ORDER TO EXTERMINATE

Can you apply these lock screens manual I have the 3e Recovery.
The phone has to be rooted in order to do it manually. Gues that if you have 3e you didn`t root.
I have rooted. Which files to copy?
In the update zip, framework folder you have "android.policy.jar" and "android.policy.odex" copy them with RootExplorer in "system/framework" in your phone, reset the phone and your done.
Did that. Im on 2.2JPK and now the phone wont boot. Sits on the white GT-I9000 screen. Was I suppose to put any other files in? And how can I do this without a re-flash? I have still got recovery and download mode.
That shouldn`t have happened, I did the same thing and had no problems, the same 2.2 JPK ROM. If it won`t start and stays at the boot logo it entered into a loop. Unfortunetally you might have to reflash, didn`t had this so I don`t know if you can do anything else.
Sorry.
FFS you should test stuff throuhrough before posting it...
I did mate, everything works, you might have made something wrong, don`t blame me.
I did exactly as you said, copied the two files over. You sure your not meant to copy the other files too?
For stock lock screen you only need the two files I told you in the previuos post. Is the n-th time i did the same thing, never had problems. By the way, how did you do root if you still have 3e recovery? After root I have 2e.
Sorry, totally my bad. Was using JPH and thought I was on JPK, just flashed to JPK and everything works fine.
Glad you got it fixed
Did you manage to get the stock lockscreen?
Think im getting mixed up here
Is this a lock screen?
NO. That is Launcher Pro with Windows Phone 7 layout. That is the desktop
This is the lockscreen:
Mm okay, I don't like this theme simply because you cant read the text in the notification bar.
FIXED! See first post. Sorry for that.
Just updated, lets see
Decent theme now, room for improvement as highlighted on front page.
Thanks, i will improve it, unfortunetally I don`t have too much time to experiment with the phone.
New stuff in the first post
Hi!
So, I decided to have a look inside AuraxTSenses framwork-res.apk ( applied SmoothSense to it ), and found .pngs and thought that I'm gonna try editing these. And so I did, and changed my lockscreen.
Then I did some more, and then I tried to change battery icons to Super Circle Battery just by replacing the .pngs and couple of xml files, but I ended up having no battery icon at all. Then I found UltraLinx's Minimal Matte Grey, and thought man I'd like to combine this and some of SmoothSense's icons + grey Super Circle.
Now, I know what I'm doing ( and did ) is NOT the right way, I basically just extracted the files I wanted to change, and then I threw the modified files back in to the framework-res.apk , and then I threw the modified framework to SmoothSense's installing zip and flashed the zip at recovery. And I did have the nice new lock screen look, but Theme Kitchen said that the framework is basically all the way corrupted.
So now I'd like to know what I need to do in order to do this thing correctly? The Theme Kitchen said that Minimal Matte Grey's framework is corrupted too, so I guess it's no good using it as the base-framework, and add the things I'd like to it? I know I'm supposed to sign something and compile and decompile and something?
If someone can give me any advice I would be more than grateful.
I flashed MIUI, then applied the theme I wanted, Elite Pro HD. I wanted the SCB battery mod as well, so booted into recovery and flashed the one I made of only the battery mod, however after uploading the framework-res.apk file in the kitchen it removed practically all themeing in MIUI after reboot. After I do that, it will not allow me apply any new themes. Some icons change but nothing else, the dock icons, fonts etc all stay stock MIUI and I can't figure out why so any help would be much appreciated. Would love to be able to somehow implement the SCB mod into the theme or just make them work together.
it sounds to me like you will have to learn how to make custom frameworks if you want it all working together.
my suggestions:-
choose whatever battery you want on UOT - make it for any rom, doesnt matter you only need the files.
decompile the UOT framework - take the .png's for the battery and .xmls that control them
decompile your already custom framework - copy .xml's and .png's from the UOT framework over to it.
compile framework, add it to an update.zip and sign that.
you might want to search xda if you dont know how to do any of the above, all the info is available here
EDIT: looking at that theme it already has a percentage battery, if the .xmls are the same as UOT you could just replace the .png's in the original update and re-sign

Kitchen removes nothing. if u cooked file from your rom, so u get everything stock.
U should cook framework-res.apk from the theme's zip.
Hi I'm on a 2.1 Sense rom and I was just wondering how do I change the notif bar's battery and background?
I tried just changing the icons in the framework-res apk in the drawable-mdpi folder
then I just saved it and pushed it and replaced the original framework but that just put me on an endless repeat of booting so I came back to 2.1 sense so .. How do I change it ?
I'm trying to change it like A motoblur theme
If I can't do it no Sense UI please tell me how to get it working on either GB or froyo?
I'm on the new radio btw
cm6.1 well you can go into cyanogen setting under ui than extras there is some different ones to pick you can use a theme you can flash a custom one its all on you or your rom
i suggest a theme poke around the forums for one
you can find a metamorph theme for your phone. and you just apply the notification bar with metamorph app
