SWYPE (Vibrant) MetaMorph Themes
Updated 8/19 with Sketch Pad Swype
Updated 8/20 Purpinkle Swype & Status Bar
Here are a bunch of Swype MetaMorphs I have been working on for the Vibrant. I plan on making more so keep checking in, and feel free to make suggestions!
I am by no means into any major developing or coding. I'm just into basic theming at this point. I make these because I enjoy mixing up my Vibrant and proving why Android is the best OS.
A special thanks to hoey2011 that got me started working on these by being the first I know of to create swype themes.
(Unzip & Apply) with MetaMorph. Use at your own risk! I have tested all on my Vibrant first with no problems. Reboot is not necessary.

Enjoy!
Ok here is something for the ladies. Hook your girlfriend's Vibrant up! (or maybe you like purple yourself... not that anything is wrong with that)
I Included a Status Bar Morph too on this one! (remixed clearbar posted by junkdruggler)

This is an updated Purpinkle status bar with no battery indicator. This is made for applying on top of the many new (more accurate) battery inidcators you can find on xda). So flash your new battery indicator, then morph this on top.

I'm pretty sure these will only work on the Vibrant because they replace files with the same names.. If any developers provide me with the necessary files pulled from various other phones/roms I can theme them out. As much as i would like to make them for other phones, I would hate to not be able to test them myself. But we shall see...

Well, my suggestion would be, instead of browsing the Vibrant forum, which contains WVGA resolution themes, etc., why not browse the G1/Magic/HVGA resolution boards? If anyone has made themes for Swype there, they will work with your version, since you have HVGA resolution as well
My old Swype thread in the G1 forum is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7725289
Check that first, then if you have questions, search for HVGA Swype metamorph. Most likely mine will come up along with some others.
Wow i really love these themes. i cant wait until i get my vibrant to use them.
I'm sorry how do I apply? I unzipped but don't know where to go from there.

put .zip in folder
open metamorph
unzip new theme
use the back arrow, find the .zip
it will extract, then press "close"
now it shows what is going to be changed, click "apply all" in the bottom right
It will take about 30 seconds
close metamorph and open swype, you new theme is awesome.

Thanks for the reply, my phone is not rooted. Thank you for the help.

You need to be rooted. USB debugging enabled.
Themes look awesome. Having one small prob. Once I save the .zip to folder on my SD, I can open the folder in metamorph but it then says "nofiles". Does it need to be on phone mem?
I created a folder on my external sd ( sdcard/sd/morphs )
Can you change back to the original theme swype?
And my phone is moving extremely slow now.
*Edit* speed has picked up on my phone but i still would like to change back

Dont worry I put " lol " at the end of my comment because I was being sarcastic
Its not actualy an image over swype... it directly replaces the original images. Mine lags for a second or two after flashing it.. but this is just brief and not an ongoing issue...
Any chance of getting the plasticlime one in colors other than lime. Like the blue outlining the text box? Please
My swype let is hanging off the screen, the stock vibrant one is the same what's up with that? Can you please provide the files from the existing galaxy s rom please

The files in the stock vibrant metamorph are LITERALLY pulled directly from the apk used to display them. Also, there is no such thing as "the" galaxy s rom, as there are way too many variants now to single it out like that, like we could with the G1, Hero, etc. I have a GT9000 thread in themes and apps, maybe you could look for some help there? I do not have a 9000 to test on or I would, but seeing as how much of the basic software is the same, Swype, Samsung Keyboard, Touchwiz, etc., I don't see why these morphs are not aligned properly.
Hopefully you can provide more information to help us help you

I am actually using the cyanogen one but I always like to be able to change back if I needed to for some reason. Good Job on the themes tho.
I replied on your thread in the sgs forum- hope this info helps you, if bout il take a screenshot tonite. Its definitely to do with the 'i' logo above the swype one, look at any of the keyboards on these phones and you'll see

I just made this for someone on DA and thought some other people might want it too. I just want to make sure it actually works, so if you guys could test it I'd really appreciate it. Backup before flashing just in case something goes horribly wrong, don't blame me if your phone explodes (highly unlikely) or if you get bootloops (somewhat likely) and don't have a backup to restore from, blah blah blah. Original thread is here for images and such, and I don't know if I'll be maintaining this. It's pretty simple between cm7 roms though so it shouldn't be too hard.
I WILL NOT PORT THIS TO ANY OTHER ROMS NOR BE MAKING IT INTO A THEME CHOOSER APK. ASK AND I WILL EAT YOU.
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
download
changelog post or something just in case
Hey Thnikk,
It's me (Weredawg from DA)
It worked perfectly (CM7 x99 kernel)
Thank you so much for the port (oh and I asked a dumb question on DA, figured it out and realized you didn't want people to ask for a theme apk...)

It's cool, from what I understand the creator didn't want it to be a theme chooser app because it left a lot of stuff unthemed. If it ever becomes one, it'll be by him so anyone interested in that can take it up with him.
I'm really happy that it worked though, thanks
thanks it works just fine
I really love this theme, but I would like to test the other themes via CM7's theme chooser. Only thing is Matted Blues (this theme) is not set up that way.
How exactly would I go about taking this zip and have it work with CM7's theme chooser? So I can easily switch themes on the fly without having to reflash this one.
I'll also ask my Android class tomorrow.
There are some really talented folks in there.
UPDATE: Checked the original thread and it looks like the creator is going to make a theme chooser port.

This theme still works with theme chooser, it just replaces the stock (named system) theme. Basically, if you were to get the stock GB theme back, you'd just have green and orange highlights everywhere instead of blue. It may just be personal preference, but I think the blue looks better than stock GB.
If you want (for JAMT, no?), I could make a new package that includes the lockscreen [here] for you. It would only take 2 seconds
I could also make a post explaining the really easy way to theme stuff if you'd like.
Oh no that's fine.
I've been using Widgetlocker for all my lockscreen needs and the last update finally got rid of the stock Sense clock
I liked unlocking the Sense way but didn't like that clock.
Only thing I want really is to get the flashable zip you made, and turn it into a theme for CM7's theme chooser. But in your original post you said you would eat us if asked :X
Oh but learning how to theme stuff would be cool to know.
Thanks.

Sorry for not replying, it's finals week and I've been busy. EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES.
Theme chooser app is in development right now and the dev says it should be available this/next week. I'd post a link but I'm on my phone and lazy.
And those directions... as easy as the process is, it's kind of hard to type out. Would you mind if I explained it in a video instead?

I did not see the EXCELLENT work of UPWARDSPIRAL and DON'T PANIC in the I777 threads so I thought I would point them out in case anyone that hasnt seen them could take a look at them. I DID NOT make these or have anything involved with THEIR projects, I AM SOLELY a USER of them since my Captivate Days on CM7 and have continued on my SGS2.The Themes can be found at the link and also available in the market for the CM7 THEME CHOOSER, The DON'T PANICS Morphs that go with these themes can be found at his post.
I personally use Red Remix Theme Chooser Theme from UPWARDSPIRAL and use the associated morphs (BASIC ADDONS,SLIDER ROTARY MORPHS(TRANSPARENT), STANDARD ADDONS, FINISHING TOUCHES,EXTREME'S DIALER, BOOT ANIMATIONS, and NOW the IN-CALL DIALER DON'T PANIC HOOKED ME UP WITH TO FINISH IT OFF). Below are some sample screen shots of their work from my phone or from their pages. Hit up their links and give them Thanks if you like them and use them.
These are the links to their Post for anyone to check out.

DON'T PANICS MORPHS that go with UPWARDSPIRALS THEMES
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013757
I have always considered these themes and morphs as the MOST COMPLETE as far as Looks, Integration, and style.
(I will UPLOAD pics from my phone here so you can see the setup, you can also check out their sites for the full look and feel).
If you have your own screenshots of using any of the UpwardSpiral themes feel free to post them. I have also replied in both their original post so maybe they will copy their post into this forum as well.

Sweet!! I've been wanting a good quality red theme. So much less eye strain (pathetic how much I stare at screens that I need to keep this in mind). Too much working on computers and websites. Gotta save my eyes for using my sgsii!

Just a request - feel free to shoot this down =) possible to do a don't panic for Kovdev's ICS theme which could possibly include the actual ICS lockscreen stuffs if you'd like? that would be huge i know i would tip 20 without thinking lol!
Great work Op! I've been looking for a mod like this! an ICS theme would completely take the cake though - especially with the ICS screen transition that appears to transition the screen (you are switching to) horizontally atop the current screen. Ice cold

I am NOT the dev of these and is why I linked them to their repsective threads. I am just a HAPPY user and been using them for a long time on my cappy and now my SGS2. So I thought I would share them here since I didn't see them represented. So head over to their threads and hit them up.

Are there any galleries or ways to preview themes in the theme forum? I really love the way themer lets me try anything and easily revert or get the next theme - but it would be kind of nice to at least have a quick way of previewing what I'm about to install
Cheers!
EDIT: I know about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474159), but it's not really giving any info on what others think of them Just thought I'd mention it before it turned into a flame war

I'll take a look at the official page. In the thread, a lot of the skins didn't come with download instructions, there was no rating (which wouldn't be possible anyway), and I didn't see any mention of screen size etc etc
Hello,
Are there any kind souls who can share the latest mobile theme editor (v4.15 if I am not wrong...) to everybody? Apparently, I read from everybody that Samsung pratically rejects everybody that requests for it, even including professional themers. And whats more, I am not even a themer... However, I am desperate to make my own custom themes as the themes in the theme store sucks and are full of childish themes. I know that there are which shares the mobile theme editor but they are not up to date and most of the UI in Android M cannot be themed.
Or perhaps some themers can help me make a theme for me? If you can, please tell me and I will send some screenshots about the theme that I want to be implemented on my phone.
Anyway, if you are Samsung Developer, please only make the request compulsory if somebody wants to publish his/her theme to the theme store and make the Samsung theme editor public to everybody so that we will be able to make our own custom themes.
Thank You for reading! :laugh:
Cheers,
XenRon

I've been doing Theme based mods (and more) since the days of my HD2 and S3. I used to use the UOT Kitchen as well as home brewed hacks. I am currently using the outdated V3.x.x Samsung Theme Editor that I found somewhere on XDA. It works...but barely. It's missing many options of my G930W8 stock rom.
I have researched and it seems Samsung is tight about allowing anyone to use their theme software. Even if you apply and jump through the hoops as a developer, other users reported that they are strict and/or lazy to approve.
It's just a cosmetic theme editor. Really quite harmless and hard to mess up.
Would like to see version 4.x.x available to folks like us.
Since nobody wants to share, J am going to try applying! I am left with the last step which making the application icons...
Will get back to you guys as soon as I get my results!

Thanks! Might take quite a while though...
I want the damn editor too. I wouldn't even sell the themes I make, I just want to make my own. I have no UX / UI stuff to put on a portfolio so I'll probably get rejected from the get go
Hi guys the latest version of theme editor is 5.0.20.Has anybody got the latest version? If yes please share the download link...
I'm done with everything except for the icons... Arghh those damn icons.
I just have the 3,0
damn i really want it lol
Did you get rejected? They start taking applications the third Wednesday of every month and it goes on for 2 weeks
