You know my Desire Status Bar? I don't like the green battery anymore. I like other colours.
So I'll share my theme for you. I hope, you like it.

Look here:




Installation and Downloads
At first I have to say something new!
The new Metamorph seems to be a bit unstable by applying themes with coloured text in the statusbars. Some of you have reported problems while applying it. So I have decided to make the theme applying in a few little steps.

This is a Metamorph Theme. You have to install Metamorph (or better: Metamorph Pro) from the market. Copy the following files to your SD Card in the folder "AndroidThemes"

If you have problems
Check following

Quote

1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, and play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you become error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

Maybe I'm missing something..  

I grabbed Metamorphing
I downloaded the zip and opened it with Metamorphing.
I select the thm file and then hit apply all.

It gets to the 2nd application (framework-res), hangs and reboots and then reboots.  When the phone (n1) comes back up, not everything has changed.  The clock changed and that's it. I tried the rest of them one at a time and those all went fine.

I'm using 1.8, custom kitchen..

Ideas?  Suggestions?

[Formel-LMS]

H, strange. I've tried it and it works fine here.

But with this rom I had problems with Metamorph, too.
I think, there is something wrong with the su.

How can i get back to the Default theme?

download the rom you run, extract it, push the changed (themed) files over with adb.

from looking at your pull-down-bar i guess you do not use .9.png files correctly
take a search for draw9patch to find tutorials.
(those .9.pngs are stretchable and need some information on which part to stretch and which part to leave in original size)

Thank you.
I like it as it is. Feel free to change it, if you don't like it. But share it to us please.

first of all, i don't use this myself.
but went through theming myself recently and would help you fix this - if i could download it. 4shared seems very overloaded right now.

[xkonni]

ok tried again today and 4shared let me download, yay
edited the image with draw9patch, compiled with eclipse and now it looks like this:



made a small metamorph just replacing that single image.

This is nice. Thank you for supporting it.
I 'll look into my pn's this afternoon.
do you give me the permission to use it in my Meteamorph? You're just right, it looks better ;-)

yeah of course, go ahead and use it

[Formel-LMS]

I have applied it to my Metamorph. The Downloadlink is updated now.
You can now install the whole "theme" with the one file on the first post.
Thanks, xkonni!

Any chance we can get this w/o the purple signal/battery/network color?  I've been searching high-and-wide for this without any luck.  I noticed that  your Hero Status Bar is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but its not mcr compatible.  

I hate to be a picky b@stard, but I'm dying for just a classic look w/ a black bar.

download it, extract. delete all things you do not want inside those folders. repack.
important: the zip file must have the same name as the .thm file.

apply in metamorph.

[Formel-LMS]

Yes, my Hero Statusbar is it. I can change it for MCR ROM if you want.
But I think, it is tomorrow, because I'll go now for Carrera Racing

Edited by monci85, 16 March 2010 - 02:31 PM.

[Formel-LMS]

You don't have to wipe anything.

Could you please tell me more about your error?
Are you sure, that your phone doesn't go to sleep while using metamorph?

[Formel-LMS]

Update in first Post for MCR 2.0!
Enjoy!

[monci85]

always gives me error after installation of the whole subject, I also bought at the market metamorph but nothing changes ever mistake I modaco 2.0

[nethium]

Can you guys see if this works with CYANOGEN 5.0.5 TEST1? I am using the black bar "update.zip" and it kills the apps2sd in the new build and also overwrites the new battery with text indicator of percentages.

Thanks in advance.
