like the subject says....
i have a rooted telus milestone..so i can't install roms...
i can however have fun with metamorph...
i've been dying for a black status bar with white font/time...
but all the ones i've found are for roms (dwang or whatever, cy, etc)
i was wondering if one exists for stock roms so we can just use it with metamorph...
thanks!
Creating a MetaMorph file is pretty easy and all you would need to do is dig through the ROM an figure out where those files are and what they are called.
definitely...i took a semi proactive approach and did edit a bunch of things just to test them out...
i was just working a huge week this week and didn't have time to sit aorund and mess with my phone, hehe
i still haven't found a metamorph that changes the font colour of the clock/notifications/etc in the notification bar...
also, i'm trying to figure out how to change the icons of an installed (non-stock) app...there are few mickey mouse ways to do, but not guide per se...if i have time, on wednesday, i'll write one up if i figure it out...
I have the Cyanogen custom rom loaded on my rooted Nexus One and I have been trying all day to morph/flash ways to change my notification bar, but no good.
Would appreciate from you fantastic people if you could lend me a hand or advice?
Thank you! (If this is wrong format in this forum I apologize greatly it is my first time posting here, but I've been following XDA for some time now)
there are many themes over in the themes forum that have meta morph files you can apply to change your status bar to black. which do you want? do you want the desire black bar? or a pure black bar? i can post my theme which i use, it has a mixture of pure black bar, circle battery icon, my preferred wifi icon, and the rest are desire icons, all mixed together to give me my favorite theme. currently using it on cyan 6 nightly from sunday.
EDIT: i added the file. i left the name exactly the same, but a few edits have been made so i hope the originator of that theme doesnt mind. you can search out that thread by the file name i uploaded.
the thing is when i attempt to morph a theme every thing changes EXCEPT the status bar. While it skins the framework.apk (mis-spelled) It takes extremely long and I eventually reboot my phone because it does not load. How long does it take for you to morph a complete skin? I was trying to morph the Carbon Notification bar and it takes very long.
Thanks btw for your reply really appreciated
yeah i am stuck at the same problem too.. it is taking too long for such a small file... even flashing roms are faster...
na dude i got a different version MM nd it morphed quickly but not right status bar always white
huh ? i didnt get u... cant u rephrase ur sentence pls .. are u saying u downloaded an older version of metamorph and it morphed quickly but that version of metamorph did'nt change ur status bar to the desired color ?
It works for me every time, very quickly. Do you have usb bugging enabled? You need that.
Like I said, that's the exact file I use every time, not sure what is wrong...
Are you sure a reboot doesn't make the white turn to black bar?
haha.. it works for me now.. i didnt enable USB debugging the last time .. awesome.. loving the new carbon fibre status bar.. wicked stuff !!
Ha nice, its always the little things

Yes, but the text would also be black. It has to be a custom ROM to modify the text too.
yes there's a stock FRF91 ROM thread over in the other forum which is theme ready so you could use any morph you want.

Good info.. I have Enom's all lined up to go on mine when I get my new MicroSDHC... Still using the stock 4G card, need more space.
Help please
So I've downloaded the Glass Status Bar morph, and everything works except my status bar is still white. I'm trying to run it on CM 6, froyo, N1. Any help would be appreciated as to why this might not be working.
Do I need to adjust any settings in CM?

Go into the CM settings under the notification bar settings and untick the custom bar and untick custom color. Reboot and then it should work.
Thanks for the tip kp and it seemed to work at first but when I tried to change back to my preferred wallpaper (when it rebooted after applying the morph it reverted to the standard Cyanogen live wallpaper) the status bar become black.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work. I unticked everything you said, reapplied the morph and it re-started and seemed to work although the wall paper had changed by to the standard CM live wallpaper. When I switched back to my normal wallpaper the notification bar was black. Same thing when I tried other wallpapers.
Any other ideas?

Are you running a CM6 nightly?
Im running the CM6 stable and everything works fine on my end. For the nightly, I heard that you need to stick a static wallpaper you do not want up and then go to the live wall paper to place "on top of" the wallpaper. There may be more to that but that was the jist of the conversation I read in passing.

No, I'm running the stable mod, not any of the nightly's. Tried what that thread suggested, still no luck. I'll keep trying on my end.
Just to go through the steps I did, I downloaded the file from XDA. Placed it on my N1. Used Metamorph to unzip it and install it rebooted and no-go.

Hey everyone, how's it going.
Lately I've been having some problems with metamorph installed on my mytouch 3G running cyanogen mod 6.1.0. For some odd reason it says that everything has been applied but nothing is ever applied, any reason why it's doing this?
Bumpppppppppppp.

it could be a few reasons.. if your phone is utilizing the drawable-mdpi folder instead of the HDPI (low/high res) then it will think it's been applied but it won't change.. also if the cm version on that phone isn't deodexed then some mm themes won't change anything...or if that cm has options for custom stuff, you might have to enable/disable those settings.... what are you trying to theme anyway?
I'm having the same problem on my N1 with CM6.1.1
Metamorph goes though everything and prompts me to restart to apply the changes but nothing is changed. I am trying to change icons in the status bar, on one occasion the battery icon changed but then changed its self back a few seconds later.
I am new to metamorph and already have a custom theme installed by flashing in recovery... could this be causing this problem?
Cheers people
Depending on where you got the icons for the top statusbar, some phones use the drawable-hdpi folder and some use the drawable-mdpi one... if you got an icon set meant for one, but your phone uses the other, it won't change anything..even if mm says all themes applied... typically already having a custom theme won't affect metamorph tho.. if you can't figure it out, link the icon set you are trying to apply and I'll look at it for ya.. on the battery issue, some roms read in 1%, 10% or even just 20% increments so if you have a battery icon you apply that is only set up for 20% readings but your ROM reads in 10%, the battery will switch back and forth as those increments are hit...
Yep your right, i had a batt icon that went up in 1% and the new one only in 20% so i at the 20% increments i have the new icon and for every other percent i have the old one! I've tried changing the wifi and signal icons and these have both been fine! Thanx alot mate!
You dont happen to know where i can get loads of different icons from do ya? I wanna try loads out now! haha.
Edit* Also if i want to keep a battery icon that only goes up in 20% increments how do i stop the other icon coming through for the other percentages? Cheers!
Im running CM7 and i love it for the speed but i'm not a fan of the dock or status bar, as a previous user on Sense on my HTC Wildfire i loved the UI and really want the dock bar and status bar on CM7. (note i'm not bothered about having any of the icon pictures changed).
1) If there is a mod to install that is cool with me and id slightly prefer it than a theme because from my understanding themes are less than perfect.
2) If i have to have a whole theme (i imagine i will) i'd prefer it to be for ADW but launcher pro is also fine. Take note the status bar and dock must be included and work, i don't care if the icons have been changed to the HTC icons or not.
Thank you in advance!
(Ps. Before someone comes along and says have you tried searching the answer is yes however, I only found poor themes without dock bar. Also i am very busy currently so didn't have a lot of time to look in fact i barely had time to write this out. Anyway sorry if this is a easy thing to find but iv'e told you why i havn't found it).
You could try LP sense UI. It looks just like sense dockbar. It is a launcher pro theme. Just look for it on 4shared. I don't think it is available through the market. It won't change your status bar. You will have to look through cm7 themes and find one close.
There's an HTC elegance theme you can find in the cm7 theme sticky

The best way to get a Sense notification bar is probably to use the Ultimate Onlline Kitchen. Use the empty theme Mendozinas provides, add the Sense notification icons, and cook. You should be all set.
Thanks to you all I chose to use LP sense UI which works great and especially like that it brings the fake sense widgets with it. Will probably also use Ultimate Onlline Kitchen to gain the Sense notification bar. (Assuming that they don't interfere with each other but im guessing they wont.)
Look up NT sense
Signatures are fancy.
You should check out my sense theme for cm7. It is essentially LP Sense UI but i've included dozens of sense clocks, NTSense, and many other themed Sense apps. There is a link to it in my signature, if you do try it out, could you give me some feedback? I stopped working on it because nobody responded and I assumed nobody downloaded it. Could you show some love?

Hello XDA,
This is my first time releasing anything so I'm pretty exited. With that said please forgive anything I've omitted in said excitement.
I used to use RetroDroid by nhnt11 on CM7 because...well I really like the idea of running a custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI and disguising it as AOSP 2.2 . Looking around I did not see any themes for MIUI for doing so, so....here we are. I don't know if anyone else will be interested in such, but I made it so I decided to share it
I use the term "made" very, very, loosely. I based most of the images from 2.2 ROM dumps and various sources about the internet. Like many I'm not positive of the origin of all the images I used, and while I'll do my best to give credit where credit is due I'm sure I'll forget something. So, if you see your stuff and want credit or want it gone please let me know.
Consider this a "beta" theme. Haha...I know right a beta theme... I still have a LOT to do. Partly because I'm still learning, partly because I only themed what my phone uses for now. I only have one phone to test it with (incredible, official 2.3MIUI) so if your interested in using it and somethings not working right (or you just have suggestions) let me know. I'll be using this myself, and will be working on it as often as possible but randomly and with no obvious pattern to updates.
Thanks goes out to;
Джаггернаут over at miui.us for great guide to theming MIUI
nhnt11 for the inspiration
the MIUI devs that work so hard to bring us awsome ROMs
Google and all their devs for making an awsome OS and constantly improving on there UI design
probably somone else...
Screenshots or it didn't happen? Well, check this post's attachments!
So whats themed so far?
Launcher2
Music*
Messaging*
Gmail*
Framework
SystemUI
Lockscreen
Icons
*here because they're in there, but not much is done
That's it for now.
There's nothing a MIUI theme can do to harm your phone, but...If it does its not my fault. Period.
Downloads?.....you actually want do download it??

Glad to see there's at least a couple people interested in nostalgia. I'll be back and forth from the computer today but I'l be working on finishing up the status bar (wifi, numbered battery, notifications and maybe some more data connectivity icons) let me know if you guys see anything glaring you'd like prioritized.
You make me so happy.... My G1 is definitely missed

You should add Droid Sans in to give this that polished look Great work!

Nice theme. I gotta admit I really liked plain Froyo.
A couple quick observations. I suggest white text title on folders, and somehow more contrast/visibility of toggles. The meizu themes are a good example of highly visible toggles. Appears to have the makings of a very sharp (light) theme. Good work.
