I used Uninstaller for Root to backup the framework-res.apk and temporarily bricked my phone because the phone didn't know what to do without it and was able to recover by updating my phone and keep my apps but no root at first. I will attach the framework soon after I remove the bloat again.

services.jar & associated xml files is where the magic has to happen for a "blackbar mod".
I do plan on taking a crack at it for us Zio people. my time to tweak and break stuff is kind of limited, so I'll do what I can, when I can
Any luck?

Be wary of UOT Kitchen. Causes random FCs all over the place for our ROM.
I am working on a custom openzio theme, but it will take some time, as I am learning as I go. Luckily Im a fast learner. o.0

If you need some help I am more than willing to collaborate. I can hit you up on openzio.
Sounds good. I'll be working on it extensively tomorrow (sunday).
An added note on the UOT Kitchen -- Our statusbars are .9 png files, and UOT converts them to standard png's. Im assuming this is causing the force closes (but I havent looked at the any of the xml files yet). Im going to pick it apart tomorrow.

title says it all... special thanks to Retrokid223 for doing the XML editing on the orig (i remade the app completely on the new versions including the xml but retro still provided me with help) and thanks to Adrynalyne and nitsuj17 also for the help on various things such as getting started with XML editing. IRC ftw. Thanks to DiGi on IRC for testing the latest verison also.

This version should be installable like any other app.. no need for it to be on system unless you just prefer it be there. If all ideas/criticism are welcome as this is my first themed apk and it taught me a lot and im still learning a lot. The settings button is fugly and i have tried to fix it to make it look good and came up empty so just go into the settings and always hide it if you dont like it because unless someone else wants to edit it and send it to me im not interested in fixing it as i doubt its even used. Enjoy.

About to update it to a new verison, sorry for the FCs not sure what was causing it on that version but it was working for me? anyway this one has been confirmed to work by people in the IRC and i have updated the theme.
Is Metamorph working with the Thunderbolt? I'd be interested in a clear lockscreen like I had on my incredible and it was installed via MM.

Works for me.
It started to work for me, bit when I hit apply all it just froze and I had to pull the battery.
Frooze after a lil bit installing right ? I had same issue but only when it was editing framework. Still took though. This was just changing some status bar icons.
That's what I was trying to do too. Did you pull the battery and it worked?
Hey everyone, I've been working on a new rom for the Zio M6000. I'm starting from the stock rom and giving it a gingerbread look. This isn't just going to be a theme, I am working on adding parts of 2.3.3 into the stock rom.
I am working on getting rid of all the stock orange glow and changing it to a nice green. I'm aiming for a complete gingerbread experience, I've added multiple tweaks and have tested them for a while and this is turning out pretty nice so far. I was just wondering if there was anyone that has experience in graphics that could help speed up the process of this project?
Sent from my Zio using xda premium
What exactly do you need? I am pretty good with PS
I need every orange highlight needs to be green. The whole UI needs to be re-worked. The stock services.jar needs the Roaming indicator taken out, the time needs to be changed to the same shade of green as the rest of the rom.

Thanks. Where can I change the time color, I need to change it to A0E000 to match the rest of the icons.
This rom is going to take some work since a lot of apks need some graphic work to get all notification icons match the theme.
I've already started working on Settings.apk and added a new option under wireless networks then mobile networks... now there is a dormancy timer but I have no clue what it does.

It's not in framework-res.apk? I believe the dormancy timer is how long of a 'no communication' period it takes before you stop sending data packets to whatever you're doing. After it goes dormant, you have to re-ping, re-connect, etc.
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
My time only changed colors after flashing the openzio services.jar
And the dormancy timer isn't sticking, is there something that should be in the build.prop that will make it stick?
Sent from my Zio using xda premium
Not that I'm aware of. I wouldn't think editing these values holds much worth as far as battery life, though. We're talking minutes of battery life per charge, and editing them any lower could lead to increased data usage which isn't really a problem because of the ability to remove the throttling services), but will also lead to longer page-load times, all due to having to constantly reconnect to the server (I'm under the assumption that it's measured in seconds).

Are you basically just theming the stock cricket 2.2.1 rom to look like Sense 2.1?
O.O
I can do that EASY bro! Except I won't be able to complete the lock screen. May I help?
EDIT: What I'll need is a 2.1 sense rom with our phones resolution and I the rom's dev's permission to use it's images for a theme. From there on I can easily un-pack the .apk/.jar/etc files and replace the images and also edit some xml files and BOOM! There's "froyobread"
So is this a usable Rom?
Sent from my Zio using xda premium
How is this project coming along so far Mattix? I'm really looking forward on seeing this new rom.
Is there a way to get a Gingerbread style theme or ROM developed for the cricKet Sanyo Zio by Kyocera? I've used Spz0's OpenZio ROM and liked it very much. But now I am looking for a ROM to be developed or a theme to be made to make the notification bar and menu style look like Gingerbread.
Is there anyway to do this?
P.S. I would have posted in the Android Development section but it wouldn't let me.
I can whip one up tonight

I got home right now and was wondering if you made the Theme/ROM for the Sanyo Zio to make it look like Gingerbread.
I've been working on decompiling the services.jar to fix an issue with the time not showing on black status bars. Now instead of black on black I have a lovely red time and still can't see incoming notifications on the status bar.

Oh. Well take your time. I'm in no rush.

What exactly do you want to see in this theme? I can make it look as close to gingerbread as possible, but notification buttons like wifi GPS sync and brightness will probably not be possible on the 2.2 framework

My Theme for Zio
Mattix,
I have made a theme using UOT Kitchen as you suggested but am having a little bit of a problem.
Everytime I apply a theme the status bar changes to black but the clock still remains black color too. Is there anyway to make it white so I can actually see the time when applying my theme or any themes I make using UOT Kitchen?
Is this variable in framework-res.apk?
Post it anyways ^_^ I use fancy widgets for my time lol

You could try flashing the ICS theme after flashing the Stock Deodex ROM. Literally should only take you 10minutes to do. Flashing those two went really fast. Otherwise SD or Monster ROM would be your best bet if metamorph isn't working for ya. The ones on DroidPirate weren't working to good for me, either. But the whitebread theme and the green one here seem to work great.

Word ill try the ics theme. I am already stock deodexed so hopefully itll work. Yeah i tried this one gingerbread theme and tried to metamorph that but alls it said was status bar force close. And it kept doing that over and over again. it was one that gave u the neon green notification icons at the top. It pissed me off then i rebooted and no changes applied so i gaveup on that. could you possibily send the link or thread for that ics theme?

Yep, what this guy said.
By the way, usually you're gonna get force closes at first, that's normal. But when you reboot manually it should stop.

Use the UOT Kitchen and cook up whatever mods you want. I've made and flashed several so far. (Still running Stock ROM for now)
