[Tut] Build morphs on your phone!

ok let me try this again...
Go to market
Download mm, ninjamorph, silver edit, and astro.. While here pick up a random icon pack... (your first morph)
Open silver edit..pick new xml.. Here is a template. Replace the dashes - with less than/greater than < .. They won't show on xda
-?xml version="1.0"?-

-description-Morphs the ...-/description-
Open ninja morph, choose the apk you want to modify.. The images you want to change are in res folder in the drawable dir.. choose the icon and replace it with one out of the icon pack..
Open astro.. Go to android themes.. Make new directory, Theme_Name.. Open the workspace folder..this is where the changed apk is... Copy res folder.. Paste it inside Theme_Name.. Delete everything but drawable... Open the silver edit folder in astro and copy Theme_Name.xml and paste it with your new res folder... You just made a morph on your phone...
Open meta morph..start checks and chose existing... Click Theme_Name and Theme_Name.xml, apply all...
Your original images from your apk are in backup inside android themes...
Thanks stericson for 2 great apps
I used this method today to build a metamorph theme... I used dropbox, a free app from the market to upload it for the community... I dont even need a comp anymore...

Haven't got to try this yet but I've noticed your always willing to teach ppl how to theme so I just wanted to say thank you. This community is lucky to have you around.
Hey. Just wanted to know if its possible to use created icons from scratch in place of the original icons. But the original icons will always be in that folder right.?
And is there an alternative way instead of metamorph.Thanks.

Nevermind. I was able to edit and modify the icons through ninja morph. I changed the wireless and cell signal bars so far ill post a screen shot if interested.

Well I haven't really had the ability to do lately... and those that can't do, teach.. I was lucky to get in on the bottom floor and learn before xda got cluttered with a bunch of ppl that just take... I figure this is my way to give back to the real devs that put out quality work but can't make their roms perfect for everybody... so that anybody can make the small edits to make their phone perfect for them...

The only thing I know is yo modify your SystemUI.apk with apk manager . I don't know the exact steps .
Sent from my Ultima Weapon using XDA App
Yup, you'll have to find and replace the image files. Contact Seilent or search for the tutorial in section "Android Themes"
OK thnx you guys. Gonna do some more searching.
You have to do this manually. Open your systemui.apk with winrar. Open drawable-mdpi and you will find your current pulldown menu buttons. Just replace these files with what you like and also make sure that file names match.
Hey SGAce, i perfectly didnt understand your question. Do you just want to change the icons pngs or do you want to change their functions itself? Changing icons png has been expained before by other users but if you want to change functions of these, its a tedious job with editing xmls and resources and etc. It is a lot better to wait for the nightlies of CM7 lol
THNX y'all,
i did it, i managed to change the button png's. Afterall it was a STUPID and unnesessary question, coz i did this with a few other apk's before
Sorry, this thread can be closed.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

Nice Nice. Waiting for a download link. Nguyenxuanhoa is one of the best MOD ever, occasionally he is a lazy man.
was wallpaper scrolling enabled here? anyways, thanks for your great work sir, keep it up
Good luck with the ROM mate. 2 things. You have said 2.4 Camera when I think it is 4.2 camera. And secondly
ATTENTION TO ALL USING MULTI SCREEN WINDOW
Do you love multi screen windows but hate that stupid tab on the left hand side of your homescreen? Well, I just worked out a very fast and simple way to disable and enable this multi screen tab without having to disable the mod at all and without having to go in to any menus or settings to do it.
How? Make sure you already have the multi window box ticked in Settings>Display! Now "While on your homescreen" hold the capacitive back button down and then tap the capacitive menu button without releasing the back button. This will make the tab disappear (Not disable the feature). Repeat these steps to bring back the main multi screen bar, click on the home screen to minimise the multi screen bar back to a "tab"
EDIT* Looks like this works by simply hold the back button rather than tapping menu button too.
Developers might want to add this to their OP or FAQ!
I hope this helps somebody as picky as me
*If this fails to work for you, my setup below*
Nova Launcher
Omega 16.1
Green Circle Battery which can be found here

Hi,
You can do a little thing...using root explorer copy SystemUI from preload/symlink to yur PC.
Then with winrar or 7zip (i use winrar) extract drawable-hdpi from SystemUI, and search for the 2 icons that you see on statusbar.
Then using Gimp or photoshop, just erase the icon, (not the transparency) and set his size to 1 pixel.
You'll have a transparent icon with 1 pixel size. Copy it back to drawable-hdpi and rebuild using winrar or 7zip, and copy to your phone.
With root-explorer copy again to preload/symlink, and give appropriate permissions.
Reboot, and your icons will be gone...
Don't remove them from SystemUI...you'll lose systemUI...

I'm already on another XXLSJ rom and loving it, but one of the screenshots here caught my eyes... The circles clock/weather/battery widget...
