so i was working with cyonbread theme and turning it into a tron theme.
I got all my icons i want so far, but am unable to install the apk (all i did was replace files in the current theme and then emailed it to myself, to try and install) but it keeps saying it fails to instal the apk
any help on what i'm doing wrong...
thanks in advance!
Is it a flashable theme or morph?
If it's morph, the name of the zip has to be EXACTLY the same as the .xml file in the root of the .zip.
it's a theme that you would install like with an apk
this is probably the issue, what xlm file is it? and where can i find the line of code to change the name?
also any good free xlm editors out there?

They have a remedy for that on their site:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. unzip your rom and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. put this file in UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
Workaround worked very well...but the issue is still there..
I couldn"t see the theme in the theme chooser list...
Wiped cache ,Dalvik Cache but no good...
Any help..please....
Don't know the issue but now I could see the theme in list..by flashing the file today...
Thanks all...

I believe it will only appear in Theme Chooser if it's an AKP File that you install flashing through recovery just apply the theme but won't appear in theme chooser.
I had a similar problem, but the thing is, it is there. It is really tiny and squeezed between two other themes ( you can see which by looking at the count, when it suddenly jumps to up, you have passed it). It still works well when you've applied it though
Did you installed or flashed the new theme..coz flashing solved my problem.

I just created a theme using the UOT Kitchen. Not all options can be used since they don't yet support qhd resolution, but that is supposed to be fixed soon. I was able to create a theme with the following elements: digital battery indicator (10% increments), Dr. Droid icons, Rudolf screen animations (great feature), Ubuntu font and Tesseract boot animation. Note that the boot animations won't fill the screen because they don't support qhd yet, so pick one that will always be black around the edges to look right. Also, I wasn't able to get some icon packs to flash, so I'm not sure which ones will work other than the one I used.
When you make a theme with boot animation, be sure to select the Galaxy S GB ROM. Also, when you upload your files, you have to select amend scripting and have Patch9 selected. There's no need to select the theme preview option for theme chooser since our ROM doesn't have this.
I'm running a rooted, locked stock ROM with cwm bootstrap recovery. You must be rooted and have some type of recovery. Be sure to wipe cache and delvik cache before flashing and nandroid a backup before you flash just in case something goes wrong. Happy themeing!
Edit:
Here's a link to my theme described above.

Yeah, I've tried the Kitchen, but when I go to flash, I get E: Error in /emmc/UOT....(status 0) Installation aborted. Any ideas?
No idea what that could be dude... nine flashed good.. but all it did was change my font even though I added a boot animation, icons, and also played with the status bar...

According to UOT, they say:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
But would you know how to unzip and find that binary file?

I used CWM. BTW, thanks for the instructions on the update...it was really helpful! Who knew that just wanting to change that ugly-ass battery indicator in the notification bar would be such a problem..(at least for me)

Replace the update-binary in the uot file with the one from the rom you're using

Yeah, that's the explanation from UOT...I'm such a noob. I'm just on the stock ROM and wasn't sure where to find that update-binary file to replace the UOT file with.

Be sure to select amend scripting when you upload your files, it's not checked by default.

Yeah I didn't do that before. I'll try it out! Thanks!
UPDATE: Yup, it worked. Thanks so much for the reminder to select the amend scripting...I seriously need to go back to school and learn how to read.
Amend scripting is apparently no longer supported by my version of CWM (v5.0.2.7-photon3). Any ideas? Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but it seemed preferable to do this than start a new one.
Hello,
It's been a while since i last posted a theme.... I've been used to making themes using Metamorph. I have a question, I recently decided to create a few concepts/themes. I have everything setup ie Eclips,SDK,... and when i try to apply the themes using metamorph it does not theme parts of current ui in CM7.1... i read somewhere that CM7 Theme Engine overwrites any modification done with metamorph, can anyone confirm this?
Also here a few images of the themes i'm currently working.... It would definitely be great help if someone can help me to get metamorph to run in CM7.1.
Thanks in Advance.
I have never had an issue applying metamorph themes as long as I don't have a theme chooser theme applied. So before I apply the theme I make sure to select "system" in the menu. If that doesn't work you can back it up, delete it and then try it..
I think you are correct i just applied one of my old metamorph themes usng the System theme from theme manager and it worked. Upon looking into the 9png files i found that they are labeld differently now in the new cm7.1 build, and have to rename my old .9png files to the new file name to work... I will report back to see if this is correct when i get back to my android station.
Hello everyone i've followed these instructons but the theme won't install as a zip after using zipthemer? My phone says disable edify and update binary or something.
I think i'm using Zip themer correctly but when i try to flash the uodate.zip file it creates it gives the error above, any ideas what i',m doing wrong?
p.s. its the metamorph that doesn't want to install the APk was fine.
•Download your Apk HDPI or MDPI
•Install the Apk(Ignore the Assests missing error)
•Apply theme via Theme Chooser and Reboot
•Dowload proper Metamorph attached below
•Use Zipthemer to apply the Metamorph
•That's it! Enjoy the Magic
