Themes decrease ROMs? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I will start to run Super D since it's the fastest US Donut ROM, my question is if I put a theme like Elegance, will it in any tiny way slow the rom down???
If anyone one has some tips to improve even more speed, feel free to leave a comment below, im alanrocks15 and i approve this message. =3

Themes are only replacement image files. If the files are somehow not optimized, or use higher number of colors/bigger resolution, possibly, but it will be negligible how much it affects the phone.

Well it depends on what your theming and how you theme it. If your using an app in the market such as openhome or any of those on top of a rom. Then yes your phone will run like poopy but if you download metamorph on market and download the individual files to theme it. Then you will be ok. I themed a bunch of stuff when I used 1.6 supercsdi rom. Worked fine. Metamorph has a page on xda. List all files for that.
Hope this helped

Also just uno. People do make .zip files that you can flash for themes and such. You don't always need metamorph.

I would love this theme. I'm running an Eris with KaosFroyo v35-1. This would be freaking sweet!
I will make some adw themes this week so you use it on your Eris
Awesome, but I know a lot of users over in the Eris forums that prefer LauncherPro. Not sure if that's a hassle....

I'd love to see this as an official theme. I wear my Weird Al "White and Nerdy" hoodie around all the time....might as well have the phone to match ;-)!
How about a link for us in this forum so we won't have to register at another forum so we can download the files?

Where's the MetaMorph Love?

So where is the metamorph love for us? The vibrant and captivate have some morphs going, why not us? We have busybox and all that good stuff... anyone?
I think since we're deodexed now its just a waiting game.

Really just playing with images now. Used to throw custom stuff together for my nexus all the time. Get in gimp or photoshop and play around.

MM has been really unreliable for me, and trusting it with pushing an excess of 500 images into the framework is not something I want to do. It's not that I don't want to make applying themes as easy as possible for everyone, but what's the difference between applying it through recovery and applying it through metamorph and then rebooting anyway.
I don't care if I flash it through mm or clockwork. I just want some themes!!!
Here you go, just posted my theme.

[REQ] Notification menu power widgets

Could someone port this mod to aria?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901540
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
I'm not sure I understand.
These notification menu widgets are included by default in the Cyanogen ROMS and can easily be added in other ROMS or stock ROMS using a free app from the Marketplace called Widgetsoid 2.x.
Or did I miss something really obvious?
This is just a hack...you should download it and flash it to see if it works...but first (as always) do a Nandroid backup of your current ROM. This hack doesn't seem to be included in any ROMs
No you are not missing anything. Widgets 2.x is nice but a wee bit hefty. The developer is planning to incorporate the kitchen sink on the next release

Evo frameres, services apks and jars are not compatible with arias even though most files are same, metrics and hdpi vs mdpi difference SHOULD produce a broken system. Not doing that.

Custom Dialer, notification bar, and keyboard?

Just wondering is it possible to use custom notification bars, dialers, and keyboard themes without flashing a new rom? I found some notification bars and dialers Id like to use from the Magnolia rom yet keep my HTC Sense. I dont use any launchers or anything. I prefer HTC Sense over the others.
I am rooted and I do run the HeyItsLou Kernel v8
You can use metamorph or ninjamorph, free from the market, to apply the images.
Or you can create an update zip containing the apk's and flash them in recovery.
I tried Metamorph, but nothing happened.
If you are running a deodexed 2.2 or 2.3 ROM you can use the Kitchen.

Somewhere in there I found some cool skins for HTC SENSE. This will only change a few things though. Not dialer and keyboards.
But themed Keys are easy to find. I'm sure you know all this, but I'm just trying to participate.

Do you have HTC HUB? And is it HTC SENSE 2.0?
I haven't had any problems installing them, but I'll try to help as much a possible.
Install just like a normal THIRD PARTY .APK
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Not familiar with HTC Hub. Not even sure what version of HTC Sense I have. I dont know how to check for versions.
Me either (dont know how to check sense version.)
But there are some signs. When you press personalize, does a path drawer come up and have Skins, Wallpaper, Scenes, Widgets, Apps, Shortcuts, Folders, etc..?
If it just has the last four mentioned when you tap and hold your home screen, then you don't have HTC SENSE 2.0
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
When I hit personalize I get scenes, home wallpaper, and default ring tone. Im almost positive I have Sense v1.
So how can I get these things to work with Metamorph? I have all the files downloaded and ready to go.
I'm not sure, because I never needed or wanted to use MetaMORPH.
Can you post a screenie of your Home and Personalize menu?
And what phone do you have? I'm sure you just unpack the zip in MetaMORPH.
I don't know much about it.

I have the HTC Incredible through Verizon.
Okay. So now we know your stock ROM was Sense 1.0, what Sense Rom do you have now?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Oh, and a really nice ROM for DInc w/ Sense 2.0 is Myns Warm Z twopointtwo. You can change the skins to the ones you have downloaded.
By far my Favorite ROM for DInc when I had mine two days ago. Lol.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
The stock HTC sense rom. I havent flashed any custom roms. I like the default one from HTC. I just want to change some minor things. I have a dialer picked out. I want to get rid of the verizon branding in my notification bar, and I want to change the battery icon and thats it.
Okay then you have to use metamorph. I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial somewhere around here. On the Myns Warm thread, there's a video tutorial on using MetaMORPH to change keyboards. I'm positive it works the same for battery and dialer.

After some researching I think my issue is with the amount of space in the /system folder. Only issue is I cant see that folder with Adao File Manager.

Root Explorer is the best in my opinion. I can view everything.
