just really wanted to ask why there wasnt any Metamorph themes out there, this little gem enables themes to work across most if not all roms
good example is this theme here > Gh0stUI for villain 1.4 after spending 30 minutes converting it to a Metamorph I was able to apple this to my Lite'ning Rom v1.5 phone.
I tried to metamorph a theme from android 2.2 but did not work...after unzip nothing happen...do youq have an idea ?? How to use it correctly? Especially the XML part...
I started actually a thread called darkedge theme...its a theme for android 2.2 have you already heard about ? Since you seem to have experience in this domain..do you think you can be in help please ? The problem is to invert the XML part from black writing to white on black background in system to and all apps. ..let me know please if you have an idea.
Completely agree with ratcom, that's why i always make myself morphs as opposed to themes.
I'm in the middle of making a morph at the moment but i don't know if I'll let it into the wild, ill see how it comes along in the next few days.
Hopefully there will be more morphs sooner rather than later.

Hi Guys
For all that are unfamiliar with BUUF, it is a set of icons made for the desktops. Hopefully i recreated this experience to our beloved Android. All icons are courtesy of its creator Mattahan, the battery was supplied by Mr. Stylo and the clock was made by Rontz. Everything else by me 8) I really hope you guys enjoy this as I have put in quite a lot of time. Up to date we have 550+ icons changed in this theme and these pics really dont reflect the extensive amount of makeover it has gone through. I want to thank Stericson for giving the community and myself a great new hobby. Necromancer for his ubuntu theme which inspired me and everyone should go d/l it 8) Last but not least, Dave the illest for originally supplying the update.zip and the tools necessary to create my first release. Latest build is built from the ground up. If you use any of my icons go right ahead as long as you give me credit 8)
7/9 Sorry guys its been almost 5 months since i last updated this thing. Been so busy with work and now that I'm finally happy with a stable build out there, I decided to finally start porting this thing over. This has only been tested on Cynogen's build 3.6.5 You guys can test it on other builds at ur risk. 8) This is not a full change over as I have done previously in JF builds. I will continue to release new revisions as i have time to update the current icon set. This update may also require that you are running apps2sd as the update file is fairly large. I havent tested it on a non apps2sd build yet so someone can let me know. For now it will only be one color. as the theme gets more complete, I'll release new colors. Ok enjoy 8)
Cynogen 3.6.5

Very Nice Bro.

Well there goes my theme idea...
I kid, I kid.
Nicely done.

WOW! I was gonna request or BUUF or a GANT theme. This looks amazing! I didn't plan on doing a custom theme but I think you just changed my mind!

I'm working on a theme using the icons from GANT (actually GACK, the OS X version of GANT since it uses PNG icons) if dthadamaja doesn't beat me to it
I'm almost done with all the icons, but I still need to add resources like the tab, status bar, battery icons, wifi, a bootscreen, etc. I'm starting from the default RC30 so it won't have any elements of the Windows 7 theme in it, but it will probably have a lot of the default stuff...
I'll make a new post when I'm done, but it will probably end up looking a lot like this since GANT and BUUF are highly similar (but GANT has a bit more gloss to it)
i like this theme alot !1.. keep up the good work
This theme is great! love the flashing.... uuummm alien?? idk what it is but cool. By the Way.... how did u get a game folder?
Installed the theme with no issues..
Some of the icons are a bit blocky (calendar, browser bookmarks, refresh, etc) though. I hope these get fixed as it moves out of beta.
Great job!

Sweet I had my TyTN II all GANT'ed up so this would make my G1 that much better! Can't wait for a release
hey how did you change the unlock pattern for the theme? where were those files located?
is it just in the framework.res folder? and you either tweak the icons given or replace them with your own personal image?
im tryna grasp the whole concept of the phone, im making a theme as well
wanted to try and edit everything, why not, unlike others i have a lot of free time this term in school, so why not
also you said u used the "windows-step by step" instructions to sign and create your app? i am having troubles with the signing of the apk
I was soooooo waiting for the black and white theme but you have renewed my love for GANT. Manhattan the kid that came up with these icons is amazing. I think he was 13 at the time he created the first GANT theme.
Installing as I type DD
okay...so for me this won't boot past the G1 screen...
oddly, i tried reupdating to deepblack and after the alt+s process this themes icons came up....
well, anywho....nice theme
No clue what BUUF is, but this theme is awesome looking. Downloading/Installing as I type this.

I copied over the pngs from a RC-30 build theme that i never released.
when i did that i noticed that the menu icons got smaller so my pngs overlap with the text a bit... so far no issues other than that but i havent really dove into it full force yet... i am planning on sleeping soon and diving into it tomorrow.
Just some files Manup. Take the same approach you did with ADP1.1.
I have a template in the original theme section.
Stericson
I think i have it but did you notice if you have ADP1 installed then install RC30 if you install a ADP1 theme on top of that it will bring you back to ADP1?
Looks nice, however, I think the text on the notification bar should be white. The black is too hard to read on the dark blue.
Actually, now that I mentioned that, is it even possible to change the text color on the notification bar? Should be in an XML file, yeah? Any ideas?

um i believe Stericson posted a thread on this in DREAM>DREAM THEMES...
called XML i believe... he changed the text color to red and made the status bar transparent.... some other changes as well, but i believe thats what you are looking for
randumaccess
this is a basic theme template that you made your modifications to? or is this the entire RC33 update?
was looking for a rc33 template to start porting my themes over to form rc30, and make new ones... is there a process that i can create my own..?
everything is the same for rc33 like it was for rc30, wrt themes? just edit, sign, update
its not exactly the same, i tried to get FadetoBlue on RC33 but i get stuck at the first boot screen. I am debating on rebuilding my theme from scratch... But we will have to see.
I'm liking this theme! Great work for such short time, keep it up!
Doesn't work for me.... get stuck at the fammous g1 screen
Where can I get the skull wallpaper in your attachment?
Here are some screens i took
I Love This theme...Will Post ScreenShots In A Min....
Came Out Great For Me...Thanx!!!
i just rooted my phone and got the JFv1.41 RC33 and yea i know this is a noob question, but if i apply this theme will it do a wipe of my phone.
thnx in adv
Hey i have a few more things to sort out on my theme but i just dont know how to. Was wondering if anyone could do the finishing touches for me please. Inbox me
update. infact i have given up on trying to do something which is more technical then i can achieve. im uploading the theme for someone to hopefully take the project on. all i see is green or blue themes and the odd orange one has popped out but most of the themes are unfinished. you still go into stock apps like clock, contacts, gmail and so on and find the stock blue and gray look with the stock blue highlights. what i was trying to do is have a blend of black white and silver so that you could use any colours on your homepage and so on without being effected by the phone colour theme anyway if someone like minded but with the tech is up for taking it on then please do and just keep me updated if u finish it so i can use it
http://www.multiupload.com/B49FW9L9W0
come on people. for me im at a dead end but i know for some of u the last mods i need are easy. its just some last touches needed. driving me mad cause i cant settle for anything less then perfect lol
I know this probably seems like a stupid question, but how can I find themes that are compatible with my current set-up?
I spent a couple of nights trying to apply various themes without realising that:
- The theme has to be specific to my ROM (in this case, the final Froyo-based MIUI-au)
- I won't be able to get MetaMorph to work because Desires have /system locked down.
Honestly all I want is a nice dark theme that doesn't have dark-grey-on-black text, and the glow battery indicator. I can apply this theme which seems to work ok bar the unreadable dialog text, but I can't seem to get the battery mod to work through Theme-Manager, and can't find how to pull my current systemui.apk out so I can drop the battery bits in and replace it.
I'm assuming this is because the file structure is different in gingerbread?
I'm completely lost at this point, so any help whatsoever would be insanely appreciated.
*EDIT* Can I use the kitchen, by any chance?

I was about to suggest that.

Another good way is to use CM7 based theme that has Theme Chooser built in.
Third way is to use GO Launcher, which has a lot of customizable themes (although you need to pay for it)
Cheers... so how do I get the files required for upload?
I think it is easier to click on "Kitchen's list" and select the ROM you are using.
Hey everyone. I know that you all have way to much on your hands already but I just wanted to throw something out there.
I am looking for a theme that is not very far from stock, actually it would be exactly like stock except instead of green colors everywhere, you would have a different color like blue. I would REALLY love one where the green was changed to purple or a purple/pink color but I would probably be the only one to use it so blue is ok.
Would this be a hard theme to make since not much is changing but the green color? I wish I knew how to do it. I am using the EK02 UnNamed ROM also and there aren't many theme options so maybe this could be one of the firsts.
You can try the ICS theme we have, some people have gotten it to work on UnNamed, some havent.
It's not that it's hard to change it all to pink, it is just very time consuming to change every single piece to pink. It could be something simple like just the battery & network Icons but going all out and changing the overscroll glow, dialer, and the framework etc. is a ton of work. Most of it requires working with .9 files which can't just be edited like a normal .png.
i think a red one would be awesome. blood blood blood.
i can imagine changing everything would be tedious. tracking things down in every menu, etc etc.
requires more patience than i probably have.

I made (edited) a theme chooser theme once for my motorola cliq on cyanogen and it was very time consuming and I had to work with a png9 editor and it did kinda suck...
If I could find a theme out there that was very close to stock....I would have no issues editing the icons myself and then sending it back to the owner for resigning or whatever needed to be done. I just can't find a theme that is close to stock LOL.

You would just download a stock rom and extract the images.
