How to port a theme? - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

Hello everyone. I have been using a theme called enoch for cm5.0.8, white widow rom, and I love it. Its a dark theme with blue highlights. My question is there any way to port it to work with cm6? I am using kaosfroyo and would like to see if I can port some of the graphics. Any help? Thanks!

Switch file names to the one you want and resize. Thats all it takes. Ive ported from Hero/N1/DROID/G1 to our phones with just doing that and no issues when using MetaMorph.

Im not quite sure I follow you? Why would changing the name help? Also the maker of this theme only makes it flashable via recovery as of now. Is it possible to port it to metamorph?

by the way I am using your theme as of right now Kevlar. I like it alot!

Some times the file name might be different from G1 to the Eris. So then you have to rename it to the Eris file name. Easiest way to do it is to compare from an Eris ROM. Then you have to resize to our size.

Thank you. Glad you enjoy it.

I am really new to all of this. Can any theme at all be ported to our Eris? I would really like to have this one on mine running CM6.
The theme is on Droid-forums.net and is 24k Black glass by Cuttalott. I can not post links yet. Sorry. I do not believe posting that is any rules infractions, but I do not post here very often.
Being from Pittsburgh, it obviously would be right up my alley, but I don't think it is possible. He doesn't have it running yet on CM6, but his other ones are. Is this anyway possible or is it out of the capabilities of our device. Like I said, not trying to bother people here, just too new to know what can and can't be done.

Any theme can be ported. Just look into making MetaMorphs and compare file names and sizes. Its that easy. Only time consuming part is resizing.

Might wanna give this a shot hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526

There us a theme porting script over in the main theme forum,i haven't had a chance to try it yet, but definitely plan on it

Minimal Matte Eris port

Is there any chance someone could port the theme found here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 (I am a new user, can't post links)
over to the eris. I tried to see if it would work without changing anything and my phone got stuck in an endless boot-loop. I am in love with the theme. Thanks.
If you know how to mess with the sering and stuff with your computer I think the maker of white widow says how he got it to work on his rom in his thread, I might be wrong though.

The only thing working for me are the widget themes. When I try flashing anything else it puts my phone into a boot-loop, and the only way to fix it is to go into recovery and do a restore.
You do need Launcherpro plus to get the widgets, then applying the theme to them should be no problem.
If anyone was able to find that "simpltext" doc them please let me know because I searched on the makers website and found nothing, thanks.

This happens sometimes. What you need to do is go back into Metamorph and choose pick existing theme. Scroll through till you get to the XML file and tap that and it should give you the choices to theme which app(s). Thanks to RangeStang for giving me this pointer. Hope it helps you too.

asking for it is weak, but 10 pounds isn't that much. if you were to cut the cost between 3 or 4 people it would be relatively cheap, make everyone's devices look super clean, and save someone else the hastle of trying to port.
i really like this theme. what i'd LIKE to do is speak to some devs who have experience modifiying Sense, etc. (e.g. Konikub, the original dev for Aloysius). Sense with a modified Rosies and the full Minimal Matte theme throughout all Sense apps would be badnasty.
seriously, i think i could go to a bar, pull my phone out, and have sex with the best looking girl at the bar as a result.
usually a phone won't get you laid, but in this case it might!

haha... nice... i'm sure we have enough people that want it and would donate a little here and there... I'm trying to find out if I can accomplish this myself first... there is a theme converter in the Android development section and I'm seeing if can be used... then I would share of course!
I don't get it, I used the minimal matte MM and got everything except the icons (which is fine by me). What ROM are you using?

the MM doesn't skin the Launcher Pro Plus widgets... that is what I want the most of all from that theme... i got the framework from the MM(except the status bar didn't work...) but i really want those widgets...
wasn't able to port it correctly.... sorry.... going back to the MM... that seemed to work the best for me...
I haven't tried pushing the apk's yet... so thats my next attempt
has anyone else tried pushing the widget apk's and if so, did you succeed? If you're using Apps2SD where do you push to?
Hey, I'm having a similar problem. I found a CM6 build for Eris, then used MM to put on the theme since it wasn't working on my KaosFroyo ROM.
I have the status bar and notifications working great with it, but I can't figure out how to get the widgets and the icons.

[Q] Are there any good flashable themes for the latest CM6?

I cant find one anywhere....well i found this one, but when i flash it, it goes back to cm6.0...doesnt stay to cm6.0.2, shoot, id even take that one, anything beats the stock theme!!! remember, im looking for a Flash theme. i dont like using side apps to make a theme, just because it takes up memory, kinda like "winterboard" for iphone. and 2nd, its an aria...the phone is awesome, just wish it had that nexus one performance!
forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/20-theme-extremely-blue-for-cyanogenmod/
anything you guys know, would be a lot of help. thank you!
I think you want to look for ADW.Launcher themes and they are different for the 2.2 android version. ADW has released 3 or 4 on there web site.
agreed im looking for a good flashable theme as well...not something to use through adw launcher....besides i modified my zip rom and i use laucher pro...wich doest have themes...so if anyone knows of a place to find flash themes please share it

thanks for this link...i just tried this and its awesome for some reason the aria isnt getting any love when it comes to the flashable themes...but its getting love in other places so thanks to all the developers who put the free time into making our aria better...and thanks again zeyoner for this link
Np, I share your pain.
I've been searching high and low for themes and nothing. There's only one and it's called extreme blue. If you want the link I can dig it up for ya. It's not a flashable theme it's a whole ROM install.

Give it just a few more weeks! Since the stable build of CM has been out, its not too far behind that someone will have some decent themes. I am learning, and going to work on 1 myself.
It's sad that there is sooo much support for themes in other forums.
Agreed other phones are getting plenty of theme love...but the aria just ain't getting it....but hopefully it will soon

I agree it's an ok theme, I grew tired of it pretty quick. I've attempted to contact creators of other themes that I like that are avaliable for the G1 but no replies. I guess not too many people have the Aria.
well whatever you guys figure out. i wish it looked like bx-destiny.but instead of orange and black...what about a deep blood red color. anyways...i loaded it on one of the earlier alpha releases of cm6, but there is no wipe to answer or the end call button....weird...i guess not set up for the aria, which is nothing but a touch-screen. anyways....if anyone could figure out if we could get that theme for our phones, i think id stop *****ing about themes. id like a professional/fun look to it w/ black widgets like google search since i use that thing like underwear. any help would be greatly appreciated. and there has to be the "Aria Samaritan" somewhere right???
right then, ill pray for the Aria Saint who creates this theme.....

I so agree I too like and installed the Bx-destiny by LordSeth theme on a earlier version of cm6 for the Aria and had the same issues, with the newest cm6 release it doesn't work at all. I even posted complaining and asking if there is any plans to release a Aria version and got no answer. The creator doesn't seem to know english very well either. I would really love to see that theme on the Aria. I'm ok with the orange, red would look nice and so would a nice blue. I'm not picky!

[port] HDPI themes ported to Dream/Sapphire POST REQUESTS HERE

First off, all credit to Stewart1champ for his theme WATERMARK'D that I believe is the most polished theme there is period. After all the work of porting this to MDPI i really can't imagine how hard it was to create from scratch,hats off to Stewart1champ you are awesome....Okay,a lot of time went in to this so if you like,dislike,want something changed or another HDPI theme ported to MDPI please leave feedback. This is a flashable theme so I assume everybody knows how to do this by now if there is a demand I will make a Metamorph of it but right now it is for CYANOGEN MOD 6.1.0 RC-1 ONLY!! I use ROM MANAGER install from sd card method.Due to file attachment limits I can't even come close to showing you everything that's themed so believe me when I tell you it's a very complete theme.
Here's the download link,enjoy.

All that is is a theme, they are not really 3d. Check out the darkness theme if i remember right
I know its not 3d and it's not just a theme someone made, it's how the vibrant roms come stock. Captivate roms use matte panels.

No I am understanding you, I am leading you to what you want to know, Most of the time it is not as simple as replacing one or 2 files, there are XML edits that might need to be done. Plus it depends on what rom you are running for not all the framework files are the same. The reason I linked you to it was so you could find your answer from someone that has made the theme and can point you in the right direction. Might not want to be so rude when asking for help. I will go back to my theming of the captivate dialer now. good luck to you
Rude? umm ok..., your responses were take as being rude as well but thanks anyway
