Make sure you are trying the right version. I use an older version that uses like thm extensions or something.
To the post above, MM does work as I have used it many many times and use it now for rotary lock. But I do use an old version as stated. Not the newer and that seems to do the job.

Droidkevlar is correct. Metamorph updated and now requires the themes to include an xml file instead of the old thm file. Your zip files are probably formatted for the old program. I did run across a thread that linked to a program that updates them. They are also pretty easy to update manually. There was a video on YouTube on how to make the new xml file. Sorry, but I do not have any links atm.
--------------------------------

Since I am done watching Lost series finale, I can post the link for the old MM apk. This is what I used. Hope it works out for you.

If it doesnt, I can always upload the apk later when I have time. Now its time for bed time before work. Just let me know.

The metamorph addons in trying to use will not work with old metamorph. But then I use the new metamorph and doesn't work. Gives me the same error messages I mentioned before. any suggests?

Now you do know that MM isnt supposed to work with our phones but if you use a Sprint ROM, like Aloysius, it will work. Which ROM are you trying? Which MM?

Re: A lil confused about meta

Aloysious v12. it worked with 1 file I had. Haven't tried others yet.

how could you use MM on leak? it needs to edit system files and im pretty sure you cannot do that without root. and last time i checked, leak doesnt have root yet.

Ah, thought you were using a leak, which doesnt have root. You are using one with root on it. That clears that up. And ya, I have noticed for the MM that I have used that worked, the ROM has to be deodex'd.

I have the exact same Kernel that u have in ur pic.....not sure why ....perhaps they got more than one leaked test version ...

Change log- not quite sure. Quite a bit for me coming from 2.1.
I had to go back and redo su.
I also had to uninstall rom manager, run bootstrap and then reinstall rom manager in orderto load the new tranquility rom by p3 via recovery.
I am not having any market problems.
I had to reinstall adobe flash after tranquility rom. Love having flash now.
Good times and enjoying it.
Tranquil Froyo 2.3.13.MB810 FTW

Also, no market fix in that current build, so i made one if any need it...
Modded build.prop - Changes below
Market Fix
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 90

Similar to this post - LexusBrian400 - [UPDATED][MOD] LOTS of Build.prop edits! but includes market fix on new 2.3.13 release build.

I read on another forum that since bootstrap/koush don't have boot loader access, the kernel cannot be updated unless using the verizon sbf...

That's correct, kind of. Kernel and all can be updated through a correctly signed update.zip from Motorola not just an sbf. P3 and company have the full update. As in Kernel, system, the works. They aren't releasing it due to C&D worries, so we, the lowly, only get the new /system files. There definitely is a new kernel in that update, whether it contains any new changes that are worthwhile is a good question.

I thought the whole purpose of "The Bomb" was so that they could get files out to the public without having to worry about C&D letters. Haven't heard a thing about that program since the day it was launched.

Pretty good looking idea, I haven't tried it though. Is there a a way to rework it so you don't have to make build.prob edits. It's supposed to have our inc stuff in there for a multitude of reasons. Just asking.

Tried to install this running CM7. Wouldn't give me the usual startup splash, just flashed a white screen every 10 seconds or so and vibrate. Guess that means its not going to work, let it try to boot for several minutes.
If you've cooked it into a ROM can you post the port? Thanks.

Well, as you can see, I can't install any apps using market, it just says: (Translated from swedish) Could not download [Kik messenger]. There isn't enough space on the unit.
But as you see at another pic, I have formated the internal memory so I have almost the full space.
What can I do?
Found a similar thread but not exactly the same so I made a new, sorry If I made the wrong choice.

Factory reset your phone! Turn it off and press Volume down and as u hold it press power button and just wait for android logo to show. Then your phone will be on stock factory settings and sign in with your account again and try it again!!! And DO NOT format internal memory!

This happens when you have a cache partitions that's ether to small. Or come from a rom that have symlinked the cache partition. And now have flashed some thing else that don't but still have config files left.
Best and easiest way is normally to do a full wipe and reflash the rom. Use Nvflash or Smartflash and flash the stock firmware and then later the rom you want.
If not you can always symlink the cache partition to a new location your self with a terminal editor on the phone. And make that a script if it the rom support init.d .

Its a rom problem that nt supporting Google play .you can install ur backed up app bt from store u can't ....

Is it enough to get into recoverymode and reinstall the same copy? If it is, what data should I ''wipe''? Also I can install any app manually by using APKs.

Low memory on CM9

Hi all,
My phone just started to show that I have a "low memory" I cannot for example install GNow for ICS (this one e.g. says I have only 3 megabytes available in my /sys/ directory).
does anyone know what the problem is? I didn't have such a problem before on a stock rom even with twice as much applications installed.
The problem is more interesting that I have more than 1,5GB of space available on both memories.
Thanks in advance

A friend of mine had the same issue. I figured out it went away if I went to Settings->Applications->GPS or google maps (can't remember)->clear data.
Eventally it always came back though.

Thank you for the suggestion. Will try.
That is very annoying because the phone has a lot of free space to use and now the ROM just downgrades your otherwise high specs phone to a low-end model without any memory.

The annoying thing is that this was a very popular problem with many solutions but you didn't search.
