Move the .zip to your phone (/sdcard)
Reboot into CWM Recovery (red or green)
Select 'install zip from sdcard'

*The update now wipes the Dalvik Cache. Due to this the first boot after flashing will take significantly longer. Be patient.

I see that you are only packaging the Swype.apk and not the accompanying libSwypeCore.so file from /system/lib/
if someone were to flash this with a mismatched libSwypeCore.so , force closes everywhere. Swype is pretty fickle about being messed with.

This will work on Nero V3 right??....
If you are too impatient, I have metamorphs that will theme just the keyboard. I am thinking about better ways to distribute Swype theme trails, and I figure if I just do them by ROM, then they are guaranteed to work when you flash them onto your phone. I am currently using Nerov3, and have made myself a green trail line to match my Naked White and Green, and the general green/white/black theme on Nero. It is just so much work to do by myself, I am considering asking for help from the community. The process is simple, but it's slightly overwhelming to try and make 6-7 different colors for a few dozen different versions. It's also very confusing when deciding which one to use.

Clear isn't an aesthetically pleasing idea, and since I haven't explained it in a while, I'll do it once more. Clear keyboards represent a problem in Swype because of the way the app operates. Instead of being individual buttons that are pressed, Swype is made up of whole images, 320x480px .pngs that work underneath a word detection algorithm. When Swype changes out the images (Caps, Symbols, Number Pad), instead of removing the previous image from the screen, it just layers the next image on top of it. Some versions cause the image to stay behind the top image, and others allow it to remove itself from underneath the top image after a few seconds. In either case, the background on all versions behind the image is a solid black. So, transparency doesn't ever truly take hold the way we want it to. The transparent parts are simply black to whatever degree of transparency we are using.
I'm not sure if that's what you were asking, but there's a slight explanation
It makes sense thanks now I can forget about it and move on

Hmm...downloaded and flashed from my phone but didn't work. I've never flashed a keyboard before but it says its just like flashing a rom...do you have to change any settings at all? Or just flash it, reboot and I'm good to go? I'll try downloading from my laptop when I get home, but it's not working from my phone. I even tried re-downloading and re-flashing, as I understand that's usually the issue. Anyone else have this problem?

jav... nice work! tried to catch you in IRC, but you left b4 I got a chance to talk to you about this...
Not sure if this was designed this way, but wanted to let you know either way... it's kinda that way in Google Voice as well... Great job tho...
I kind of did that on purpose, but I've been toying with making them more prominent a bit. You might see the look get updated in the near future. I'm glad you like my work though and appreciate the constructive criticism.
Niiiiiiccceeeee!!! Did you use the black modded apps package to make twitter and facebook black?
I really like the theme, it looks great. I also love dark/minimalist themes. The only thing i don't like about is it is that the battery indicator looks a bit too bright/happy for the theme.... Maybe a grey indicator in the status bar would work better or maybe a blue or purple one. Just a suggestion. Other than that it looks great.
Nice work ,

I've actually been trying to remove almost all color, or at least that's the end goal.... except for green. I wanted to let the Android green stay. I also happen to think it looks good with the black and gray, brings just a slight amount of color. So, unfortunately, I don't intend on changing the battery indicator. Maybe I could provide a grayscale option as a flashable update.zip style installer package at a later date though if I get time.
I'm glad you like what I've got together so far. It's really far from done yet, I plan on more deeply theming a lot of the other apk's, like facebook and twitter that you mentioned, so that they're more black just like the Gmail/Gtalk apps are already.
Perhaps I'm missing something....
since swype apparently was not included w/ 2.2.2, I downloaded the swype apk, but even after reinstalling the theme, I still get the default swype keyboard.
Other than that I'm a big fan, nice work!
The direction s on the original post should state where to find everything. I don't install swype automatically as not everyone has it installed/uses it. Check /sdcard/BlackOut for a D2_Swype.zip and flash it from recovery.
Afaik, it works perfectly. I know a bunch of people who're using it.
Please try and remember to always read the first post from start to finish before reporting "bugs". I'm glad you like my work.
Sweet theme, in the 5 minutes I have looked at it and tried it. No themed FB and Twitter widget though? Something I am missing?

It sounds like you're doing something wrong. You don't install apk's in recovery. Can you describe for me the exact steps you're trying to take to install these? Nobody else has reported any issues on DX or D2, so I highly doubt it has anything to do with the apk's themselves, but I could be wrong.
Best theme out there, any chance we will be seeing Gmail 2.3.2 in all black? Also a blacked out version of market would be pretty cool. Looking forward to the 2.3 drop when it comes out!

Everything should be updated hopefully this weekend to work with 2.3, including hopefully the new Gmail. I've been hearing there's already a Fission 2.3.1, so I might just jump over 2.3 to that, but either way, the theme will be getting updated and development continues.

I'm not really sure what you're doing in Root Explorer. All you have to do is open up the included "Files" file manager and click on the *.apk file that you want to install from /sdcard/BlackOut. It'll prompt you if you want to install it and you click ok. Afaik, you're the only one that's been having issues getting these .apk's installed. Try it the way I just described and report back, if possible. It's really the simplest / only way I ever install *.apk's and I've never had issue.

I forgot to add that the charging animation is a spinning effect, I thought it went with the whole Tron disc thing. I might end up putting in a inner circle spinning the other way and get rid of the plug. Scope creep wewt!
Well I flashed axura cause its usually snappier than nero for me. Then I decided to go ahead and try to port the theme to axura. I thought this was pretty hilarious so I thought I would share.
It's definitely going to take some xml work which I have no idea how to do other than I have to decompile the apk somehow.

None of that should require xml edits. Are you sure all your pngs got transfered properly? In fact, I'm pretty sure you should be able to directly your DialerTabActivity.apk from nero5 to axura2.2.7.1. Prior to 2.2.7, they were different, but now it seems like they're using the same one.

Well the first thing I did was transfer everything over from what I modified, the dialer looked ok but the background(behind the buttons) was still axura's background and I couldn't find anything I thought it would be.
That is when I did something crazy, I transferred all of the xml's from blackfroyo that had button background in the name and put those in the update.zip. The result of that is what you see above.
The xml edit thing was referring to the clock on the notification bar that I was glancing at when I wrote that. Not to mention the notification background didn't change, and the rom doesn't have the accurate battery mod.

The date is actually in the services.jar. I can help you with the smali editing if you need, but Master actually posted a selection of date colors you can just d/l in This Thread.
Notification background is actually backwards in axura (don't ask me why). It's status_bar_background.9.png instead of statusbar_background.9.png
Accurate battery....ya, not sure why he left that out. You can either learn to xml edit, or use my framework when I get a chance to finish up my port.

I've spoken with the creater of the market. He's working on getting them updated to the newest version. Until then, the market will automatically update itself soon after you flash it, making it look like the original green market again.

The only time I've had this happen was when I installed Nero5, ka6, and then this theme all in a row without rebooting. I bet if you look in root explorer at your system/app folder the app will be in there.
Is this what you did? Otherwise you could just have a bad download or flash.

I actually love you for making this. I was looking for something like this for ages, stock 2.3 but blue. Seriously man thanks!
The only things I might change would be the drop down arrow button in the settings (more like the stock one?) and maybe remove the logo from the bottom of the pulldown? Kinda spoils the super-clean look of the theme ^_^
I think changing the pulldown is a bigger "issue" for me, just looks a wee bit out of place I think :/
Just my opinion though, looks great Hope you keep supporting and developing this.

I dont see why it should be any different on the play.
it should work.
But can not say for sure.
I always get the boot loop, flashed the arc twice in one hour
Once i replace the framework.res file i get it
I really like the theme, don't know what to do

Paste the Framework APK in to /system.
Then change permissions then move into
/system/framework.
Thats how iv been testing and iv done this way about 30 times trying out different .pngs and never had problems, ill be updating the files in a hour or so as well, so might want to hold out. into i do.

I have made it to try to look like the stock theme, so its not a massive change just more of a small change.
As you can see it works great so far, im open to changes and help in theming other applications
Yes the icons change colour when you are connected to google services something i missed.
Dont forget to resign back in to your google account
And
As always this can put you into bootloop so apply with caution.
Was edited with .184 firmware not sure if that will matter
Original work does go to jabbawalkee and his thread here:

It would be freakin awesome if it was the stock theme! I have been looking for the stock theme for arc...but can't find it =) anybody has found something? Thanks for the great work!
Aaah man looks even more amazing now!
I know you might get sick of all my little silly suggestions BUT, I found this (similar) theme for the ZTE Blade (my old phone) and it has some resources in it you may find useful.
One thing that stood out is the battery meter glows like stock GB in this theme, but in yours it doesnt currently.
Anyway the framework is here, you have to unzip the file, find the framework in the system directory and extract it from there, sorry >.<
http://www.mediafire.com/?9m0xet5p364fny0
Hopefully you'll find it useful
Edit: Oh also, is the drop down image you attached above different to the one in the OP? It looks nicer than the updated OP haha

I had a look at the .Zip file,
Yeah they have got a little but of a blur trouble is, in ZTE blade zip the battery icon jumps in 20% increments
Where the one we have now each percent has its own image file.
i know it does not use every icon on the phone, but might matter to the .xml and may cause bootloop. something i dont really want.
Also the drop down bottom bar i attached in the post, kept crashing the systemui.apk but i know why, so i might work on fixing that.
Its the annoying patch 9 image.
Want to try to get the arc to use all the battery icons for each % rather in jumps or 20% thats what im working on.
EDIT: i actually think it does use every 1% icons taking a look at the .xml files.
Thanks for the great build! I'm loving it!!!!
May I have one little request that is it possible to have the % battery icon included of your build? Thanks and I look forward to it, thanks!!!!!!

Directions To Apply
*If this is not your first time using a morph of mine, just morph right over top of the previous.
No need to delete your current apk on your sd card, not even the signed one.
Only do so if you are having problems.*
*Open up your chosen file explorer. Navigate to \data\app\ and locate the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk ( If you choose to use Es you will have to go into Settings>Tick Root Explorer Box)
*Copy the Swype apk to the root of your sdcard. (The theme will only take if the apk is in the root.)
*Go to Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme"
*Navigate to wherever you downloaded your chosen theme to. (If you downloaded from the Xda App, it will be located in /sdcard/tapatalk_download/ I have Xda Premium and this is where mine is located)
*You will be presented with a preview and you may now choose "Apply All". Congrats! You have themed your Swype. Now onto signing and install!
*You Must sign the zip or else you will get constant force closes. Thats where ZipSigner2 helps. So let's open that up.
*Push the "Choose In/Out" button at the top and find the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in the root of your sd card.
*Your output should now read /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1-signed.apk
*Leave the key mode on "auto-testkey" and Sign The File.
*Before going further, you should make a backup of your data with Titanium Backup or your preserver program of choice. This will collect your personal dictionary for late use. Now uninstall Swype (not the Installer, This step is not mandatory but is recommended to prevent any errors so just do it : ) )
*Using your file explorer, now install the signed swype. (There will be two on your sdcard. The themed one and the themed signed one. Make sure you install the one with "-signed.apk" at the end. If you choose the other one, you WILL get force closes)
*Go to the "Swype Installer" program and activate and choose swype.
*The final and most CRUCIALLLLLLLL step of them all.......ENJOY!
Known Errors With MetaMorph
The most common problem that you might face is getting a "The theme you have selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is not correctly written." when you are extracting a theme. This is not a problem with my themes but with MetaMorph. Though it gives you an error and close, it still extracted the theme. Just go back into MetaMorph, (it will likely crash), go back into it and then hit "Pick Existing Theme" at the bottom. Find the folder name of the theme you just extracted and apply as normal.
For some reason the preview doesn't show if you extract a theme and immediately apply it. It only shows when you already extracted and then choose under "Pick Existing Theme". Not a big issue but these are the two known bugs pertaining to Metamorph.
Requests & Formats
Taken requests and ideas. Any of the Series can be modded to a specific color. If you want a custom color give me a sample. An HTML code, hex, sumthn 'kay. Refer to the following rough draft image to see the different aspects that may be themed. (I know its a bit jarringly bright but i was working on a girly theme when i uploaded it). If you do submit a request, please list the five colors and their corresponding titles. All requests are not guaranteed to be completed but I do promise to try. Until then, enjoy the unicolor ones above.
UPCOMING THEMES/SERIES/SPECIAL REQUESTS

I'll put it up some time tomorrow. Are you all currently using any of the themes? Let me know which ones you favor. I just want to get a feel for what is wanted.
I really like the looks of Kiwi, Matrix, and Lucky swype. i guess i'm just a green freak though. i'm gonna give them a try later, see if i like them any better than the swype skin i'm using already.
thanks for the hard work though, keep them coming!

Great to hear that! SugaryCyan is an especially nice one. The color just pops off of the screen. I LOVE that it matches your theme so closely! If you have a request let me know.
Now Presenting: Iced HoneyComb!! Available under the IcyLicorice Series post. It took a GREAT deal longer than expected. Had to make a brand new template for every one of Swype's 20 layers. It really was a lot of work. I think it was well worth it though. Next up, Iced(?) What should I call the red one? It'll be up in a lil bit.
I was going to wait until I was completely finished to release this but it seems a red theme is in high demand and with ICS leaks starting I didn't know how long until it would be outdated.
This is my first released theme for android so go easy on me. Another reason I'm posting this is to get some feedback from the community as to what they are looking for in a theme. I realize there are some things that could use polishing so let me know what you think. I'm open to feedback so long as it's constructive!
Disclaimer:
Flash at your own risk, You are the only one responsible for your phone.
I'm sure everyone knows the deal by now.
Install Directions:
1) Download latest version of Redzound-v0.x-Ineffabilis.zip
2) Boot into recovery
3) Make a nandroid backup just in case.
4) Wipe Cache
5) Install Redzound-v0.x-Ineffabilis.zip
6) Reboot and Enjoy!
(for some having issues with statusbar foreclosing boot into recovery and fix permissions)

SystemUI
Mail
Browser
Music
Contacts
Settings
MMS
Dialer
Camera
Flashlight
BootAnimation
ICS window animations
Roboto Font
Animated Notifications - (Turn off by setting notifications to transparent in mik settings )
Clock is not themed it is Beautiful Widgets "brackated_Red" skin
Rosie and a lot of other HTC things are not able to be themed at the moment. (to my knowledge anyways)
Bugs:
I have not come across any major flaws or bugs. But then again I don't use everything on the phone so please post with as much detail as possible of the location of bad icons and text strings if you find any.
To Do List:
Version v1.0 will more than likely be the final update.
As for porting this to ICS.... I"m going to wait until there is a official ICS release or as close to official as the devs can get
plus I need a little break this theme has consumed a lot of my time lately!!!!!
Download in 2nd post
I do have 2 small requests for anyone reading this or downloading this theme.
1) If you want to use or port this theme as your own ask me first. I spent a lot of time editing these images and want to know where it's going and that proper credit is given.
2) I recently realized the lack of real feedback in the android community. I see tons of mods and themes with over 1,000's of downloads and only 10 people where able to take the second to hit the thanks button. Also multiple apps on the market with millions of downloads and only 10,000 comments that's a pretty low percentage!! I hate to sound demanding but come on people!!!! It only takes seconds to do this and it's gives us themers, modders, and hackers something to go off of and keep doing what we do.
Lastly I wanted to give thanks to all the members of the various Android forums that wrote guides for people like me to learn stuff like this. With out the community I would not be able to do the things I'm learning to do. And also a quick thanks to UOT kitchen for the battery icons and the animated background. I hate making those crazy xmls lol.

This is not a complete theme. You must flash the full theme first then this will remove the cubed animation in the notifications.
It also fixes the time stamp on notifications.

The Live picture on the notification is my
Favorite part.. i hope u keep working on this
cus your doin a GREAT job..it would be great
if more icon were themed too like market,people,
music, internet and ect. but i know its a work in progress
so im pretty sure you will but looks great..
I should be able to get a good update or 2 before ICS becomes stable. I was having some issues with the market but I think I have it figured out. I'll include more app icons in the next version too forgot about those. Thanks for the feedback!

I haven't looked at the ICS framework so I hope they didn't mocve too much around or it may take some figuring out. More than likely I'll port theme to an isc build.

Warning. Possible n00b question ahead (first smartphone so first time geeking out over my phone)...
Do you need root for this? I just grabbed a skin but it was an app I downloaded from the market. I've installed apps using adb before but based on the instructions it sounds like root is required.
I will be rooting but am studying up on Android OS and flashing ROMs/kernels before I do.
Also, once this is flashed, is it added to the skin/theme options on the phone so that it can be selected and deselected (blasphemy I know)? And is it all or nothing or can certain elements be changed, such as wallpaper or something like that.

Wait, you're a noob? You seem so seasoned in all your posts!
To answer your questions... yes you need to be rooted to flash this. This will not be a skin as it is a theme that you have to flash from recovery. It will not be added anywhere like the HTC skins. This will simply be applied to your phone. That means that you can continue to use that skin if you want to in order to add a little more to it. I'll be running this in a second and using one of the skins that was just released recently. And most of this should be all or nothing, in a sense. You will still be able to change things just like you could with the stock theme. Meaning that you will be able to change the wallpaper and stuff.
EDIT: You also need to realize that this is a theme for Ineffabilis. That means that you need to be running that ROM to use this theme. If you try to flash this theme on top of a different ROM or the stock ROM, you could have serious issues. Still can't get over that you're a noob haha
EDIT 2: You also don't need to use adb for this. You can just download it, put it on your sd card, boot into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik, then select flash zip menu. You can then select it off your sd card. Much easier than doing it through adb, imo.
EDIT 3: Seriously, you're a noob????? Like, I hope you don't take this as an insult, but I just can't get over it. I consider you one of the select few who know what you're doing! I'm impressed

Yup, total n00b. Except that I've been reading almost every post in the Rezound forums studying up on what I need to know about the phone and rooting/flashing etc. I have to get my geek fix here cuz my girlfriends just wanna talk about pregnancy, adoption, etc...
Yeah, I plan on flashing Ineffabilis ROM and I think dsb kernel, or maybe Ziggy's.
Thanks for the help and the compliment!

Haha, no problem. I am thoroughly impressed. If only more would read everything before posting I would definitely recommend Ineffabilis, though it will be dead soon. It is the best ROM right now, imo, but there will be better to come with the ICS leak out. I would suggest using that ROM for now, though. I like Ziggy's kernel, too, but others have had their issues with it. I've been running it since I rooted and haven't had an issue yet. (Well, it does bootloop when I'm charging it and it hits a full charge). But it's pretty stable for me. I'm flashing this theme right now, but I'll be using the Red Beats Skin on top of it.
Edit: This is to the OP... I didn't want to flash this because I thought it kind of looked meh in the pictures. Just flashed it and holy crap it's gorgeous! Big props and hope you keep adding themes for all the ICS ROMs.
Thanks wasabi! I'll try and to add some better screenshots tomorrow.
