Hello forum,
I found Alex9090's post and from that post I took the sofkteys, and started changing their colors.
Note: I did not come up with the shape of the softkeys. I just re-colored the ones I found.
As of now, I have the xyboard softkeys in white, orange, green, and dark blue.
Feel free to post screenshots and what not. Or even your comments too.
For the white softkeys, I used the stock theme. For the orange softkeys, I used the "Holo Orange" theme. For the green softkeys, I used the "greenICS" theme. For the dark-blue softkeys, I used the Natemodz theme. I used these themes to show off my softkeys, but the rest of the ui was not created by me. Except for the softkeys portion, these themes were not made by me. And I was not the creator of the shape of the softkeys. I only recolored the ones that came from the Xyboard.
NOTE:
These softkeys definitely work on MDPI devices like most tablets. The Zipthemer zips put the softkeys in drawable-mdpi, so those zips are for mdpi devices ONLY! But the non Zipthemer zips should be able to be used in HDPI or XHDPI (not tested though).
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID! (especially when flashing)
"ics_softkeys_xyboard_[anything]" is NOT a flashable zip. It should be used in AOKP's Rom Control or the equivalent in other roms to change the softkeys.
"MMZT_softkeys_xyboard_[anything]" is NOT a flashable zip either. It should be used in Zipthemer or Metamorph(haven't tried Metamorph) to patch the needed files. Then the zip Zipthemer spits out is what you flash at your own risk in recovery.
One last thing... Don't forget to press thanks on my post, as well as Alex9090's post!
I've added some screenshots of my own.
MMZT_softkeys_xyboard_[anything] instructions:
1. Download the desired MetaMorph/Zipthemer theme and if you don't have it already, MetaMorph/Zipthemer from the play store. I personally haven't tried MetaMorph, but I know Zipthemer works.
2. Open Zipthemer and configure it for the Xoom (there are guides out there if you are confused) However, make sure that you set Zipthemer to make an undo-zip too.
3. Click "+Input" and navigate to the downloaded zip.
4. Click build it. Zipthemer will generate flashable zips, specifically made for your rom/configuration.
5. Zipthemer will by default place the new flashable zips at the root of the xoom's internal storage. If that isn't accessible to your recovery, place the new flashable zips in a place you can access in recovery.
6. Flash the *update.zip if you are applying the theme and reboot.
7. Enjoy!
***Note, if you created an undo zip and want to revert back to your old softkeys, flash the undo zip instead.
For people using theme chooser roms:
Note that the zipthemer method of changing softkeys will most likely not work with themes that theme the softkeys themselves. If you plan on using this softkey mods like "greenICS" (-great theme BTW), then you will have to use the softkey changer in the rom you are using to change the softkeys manually, and you will have to download the first zip instead.
Nice!. Thanks for these.

What is it ?
This is just two simple themed Advanced Launcher I use on my 32B with cyanogen 4.2.8.1 and Darkstar theme.
This is a metamorph mod, not an update.
As this is the first release, there's perhaps some bugs.
If someone want to use it in a theme, there's no problem, just let me know
Instructions :
Download
Standard version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_AL.zip
White version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_white_AL.zip
Arrow version : http://www.box.net/shared/85y0qqv2jc
Cube version : http://www.box.net/shared/z40q1dselg
Grey version : http://www.box.net/shared/lmnx20f08s
Hollow version : http://www.box.net/shared/6sdg95pnd3
And use it in Metamorph app (> 1.7). If you don't have yet Advanced Launcher, Metamorph will install it.
I think it can be used on any rom wich can use Advanced Launcher.
Thanks to :
Cachinjection for the initial Darkstar concept,
Feekyfrogy for the Darkstar theme from wich my mod is based on (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Bahnburner who has metamorphed Darkstar launcher (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Djengizz who motivated me unknowingly by sharing metamorphs and for hosting ,
Stericson for his awesome MetaMorph app,
Benjigarner for folder icons (http://benjigarner.deviantart.com/),
Siristhius for trash icon in white version (http://siristhius.deviantart.com/art/Trash-bin-icon-95130312),
And XDA in general

didn't work for me as well. I'm guessin' it's 'cuz of the update script. Said something was missing, thus making the addition/theme invalid. Looks great though! Can't wait to use it. Good job!
Its for MetaMorph, not a flash.
Good work man

Yeah..i didn't try to flash it. I used Metamorph, but it didn't work for me. Anyone have better luck? I just downloaded the zip to the root of my sdcard, then opened metamorph, picked the zip from the AndExplorer list from pick theme', but it gave me an error message.
I just looked at it,
The zip file and .thm file should have the same name
also
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.cpy
/system/app/
AdvancedLauncher.apk
/system/app/
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do here. The advanced launcher is still the Launcher.apk and the drawables are still the same. Just get rid of that Launcher folder, rename the AdvancedLauncher to just Launcher and the .thm file just needs to be
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.apk
/system/app/
For MetaMorph to work, the folder needs to be the exact name that the apk is.
oh, and by the way, for those of you who couldn't find the wallpaper he was talking about when they went to that site, just type in 'bamboo zen' when you go to the wallpaper link in the OP and you'll see it. It should be the first one. There's also an inverse one of it which looks pretty snazzy as well.
kool good to see some more darkstar offshoots, hope my next theme inspires such themeing projects.
just a quick one, i personally think that the the background image for the app draw chould do with some refining.
have fun yall

Hi,
Don't know why it doesn't work for everyone...
I'm using Metamoph 1.8.1. I just put the zip in /SDCARD/AndroidThemes/ (as Stericson said in his OP).
@Eessel : exact thanks.
@Jairomeo : zip and thm have the same name (it works on my phone)
I'm not exactly sure what i am trying to do in the .thm. I've just take the metamorph zip from Bahnburner's Darkstar Advanced Launcher and modify some pictures.
The metamorph install Advanced Launcher (with Launcher.cpy subtheme i think)and then themed it (with AdvancedLauncher.apk i think).
As it works for me i hope it can works for every one.
After the first time i use this metamorph, Avanced Launcher was successfully installed and i just have to apply AdvancedLauncher.apk subtheme, not Launcher.cpy.
I've just done a test :
update to cyan 4.2.9.1 -> return to standard cyan launcher
apply kawaz_white metamorph -> advanced launcher is installed and themed...
@cacheinjection : yes, i agree. I've try a semi-transparent image, but have some bugs with it. Perhaps in next version if i found a solution.
Thanks all for comments.
Finally, is there someone use it with success ?
OK !! I anderstand what happend !
I've try to re-download my mod and have seen that my host rename it !
So, i'm going to update the OP with that :
you should rename the donloaded file :
Kawaz_AL.zip for the standard mod
Kawaz_white_AL.zip for the white mod
Sorry for that.
Hello,
When I use a semi-transparent background for menu, i've a bug :
Normal :
With bug :
Icons are in double or triple...
Anybody knows why ?
anyone get this to work with Metamorph 1.7? I am having the same error...
Ive updated to last metamorph (1.8.1) and still having the error message ("id file could not be read or is missing ..").
I've tried with both black and white version, downloaded the files twice nothing work.
And that's a shame, this launcher look real damn good.
Im running Dwang 1.5, with metamorphed theme mainly borrowing to dark star.
Dont know what Im missing, if anybody does, please let me know
Have you rename the downloaded file as i add in the first post ?
Hi,
New mirror added to the first post. You did'nt have to rename files with it.
Thanks a lot Djengizz !
Please let me know if somebody can use those mods now.
Is there any way to use this skin on the home screen only? I just can't bear to go back to three screens (which is what Advanced Launcher does to my baby).

+1 for this - deleted as soon as I saw that I couldn't use it without losing 2 screens.
hEy Yo PpL!
Time now for another theme from yours truly. I decided to go with a red style this time, and maybe I will make different colors of this theme, if the desire for it comes up. I also decided to make this a metamorph so that everyone is happy and everyone is happy at the end of the day. Also makes it easier on me so I don't have to make a gazillion different versions. Lol. I know it's a lot of files to morph, but trust me, it will be worth it once it's all done...if you're into red themes, that is...lol
THANKS TO: Stericson, Cyanogen, Ander Webbs, Eliot Stocker, LostEden, SIRMez, Ted417, and Castaway1
HOW TO METAMORPH THESE FILES:
Go into the Android Market, and search for Metamorph, and then download and install. Once it's done installing, open Metamorph, and it will ask to do some checks and when the Superuser Permissions come up, click Allow, making sure that 'Remember' is checked on...once that is done, just press on 'Unzip/Extract new theme' and navigate to where you downloaded the file. Click on the zip file, and then it should unzip it for you automatically. Click 'Close' on the pop up, and then click on 'Apply All!' which should appear on the bottom right button, then just wait for it to do its thing. If a warning comes up about the framework edit, just hit continue. Once you press the home button, as is usual of metamorph edits, there will be a brief pause and black screen while the page reloads, and it should be done. Hope I explained it well for you. Let me know if you have any problems.
IF YOU ARE USING A CM BASED ROM To change the color of the clock/date/network/notifications, you can do so in Spare Parts. For other roms, you'll probably have black text..lol
REQUIREMENT: Download and flash this first IN RECOVERY!!! This is ADW's launcher v0.8.6(his latest), which i find to work perfectly with this theme, but you can use any version you desire, and it will still work: http://www.jbthemes.com/dr_cloverdale/ADWLauncher8.6_Replacement_MDPI.zip
FURTHER TIPS: Wallpaper in screenshots is included in theme under 'Wallpaper > Wallpaper Gallery '. And also..to get back to your regular rom and gapps after using this theme, just go into recovery and flash gapps, then flash your rom...or if you are using a ROM with gapps already installed, just flash the rom over this to nullify the changes
But without any further talking..I give you:

First off let me point out this in no way is my theme. I did not develop this and will not support any issues or customize anything for you. I just happened to see this on the SDX developers site and thought I would post. All credit goes to: pjree on the SDX Developers site.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Post from SDX:
White Mochi v0.003. Now in two flavors.
This is my first attempt to make a theme. I wanted a theme with a white notification bar for my Epic and there was none to be found. Thanks for Chibucks pointing me in the right direction. The icons I got from various icon packs with exception to the battery icon. Credit for that goes to Crake001 and his s0niqu3 Epic theme. This is still a work in progress.
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. Remember to back up your phone prior for flashing and have Odin ready just in case. While this theme is working on my phone, your mileage may vary. I am not responsible for what happens to your phone.

So if I already have cm6.1.1 installed, can I just install the Gingerbreadxml.rar and framework-res.apk for the theme to work? Or do I have to reinstall cm6.1.1 with GM theme built in? Thanks
You could, but I would just flash the rom zip over what you have as it has a few extras like the gingerbread browser and phone apk.
Nice find, brswatt. Finally a full theme that doesn't break my tethering. Updating my thread to point to this one.

You could, but you wouldn't have the gingerbread dialer.
So just flash the whole thing. It doesn't hurt.
Then just put the xml on your card.
Here is a LiveWallpapers.apk to adb push or include in that rom before you flash. I replaced the cyanogenmod wallpaper with the nexus s wallpaper.

Well, when the flashable zip thread pops up in the themes forum, you can link it there, or I'll link it in the first post.
edit: I posted it here
wow, many thanks. Im going to try out right now
I put the gingerbread.xml in the cmparts.apk, so we don't need to save it to sdcard/cmtheme.
About the flashable, by the time you run the cleanup.sh, /system might be not mounted. Nevermind, files will be overwritten anyway. But I still think files delete and set-perm should be done within update-script.
EDIT: File updated. Sorry I didn't know it only loads internal theme files that contain the word "STOCK".
Nice theme, but is there a way to get the old notification pull down back? I like the dark themed pulldown better.
Edit: Nevermind...the CMTheme changed it.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
brswattt, I fixed the framework-res power notification dropdown icons to all black:

Hi, guys and girls. Don't know if something like this was already posted over XDA, but i decide to publish my little work.
Here is the Xperia Arc metamorph theme for CyanogenMod 7 for HDPI devices. Tested and runs good on HTC Vision powered with latest nightly and CM 7.0.0 Final. But should also work on other vanilla gingerbread ROMs.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the zip with theme below.
2. Place the zip on your SD Card
3. Backup (just in case)
4. Install Metamorph from Market
5. Run Metamorph
6. Chose the zip... and etc.
7. Reboot
NOTES:
1. After applying Phone.apk theme there will be a lot of FC's. Just lock the phone, then wake it up, long press on power btn and select reboot. Or pull out the bettery.
2. After applying framework theme there will be soft reboot. Just let it boot up and run Morph again from the place where you ended.
3. After applying SystemUI.apk theme ther will be something like in 1 or 2. Do the same.
WARNINGS!!!! I am not responsible for any damages of your phone, bricking, etc. Or nuclear blast.
P.S. Xperia Arc Wallpapaers http://www.multiupload.com/3S0B5OEGH8
Looks great， but my device is mdpi one。
Amazing work, but you have bad zip archive. After open zip file, you have XperiaArcTheme folder, but must be folder´s with files for apk´s app and xml file. Simply move all files to root of zip file.
very good
Is it posible change CyanogonemMod settings and Profile icons? It´s not pretty
I know about unthemed prof and cm settings icons. I will fix it asap. Also already done incall screen theming to be more like all theme. Will post update later today.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Also delicious work. No other grafical bugs observed Maybe will be better move framework_res update script to end of xml file, theme will install without restarts in update process.
Fully works on ZTE Blade, CM7 stable.
great work ，thanks again！
Are you working on any updates, or it´s final version of Arc theme?
It says that its invalid or missing files when i try to apply the theme...
