Gingerbread Notification Icons(MetaMorph including Market, Gmail, and TWiz Email notifications.)
PLEASE READ:
This is just a little MetaMorph I threw together to change the notification icons of your favorite Vibrant ROM to the AOSP Gingerbread style icons. I pulled the icons from the Galaxy S and the leaked Gingerbread I9000 ROM. This is currently a BETA release to iron out any problems, and to take suggestions for more icons I may have missed, or icons from other apps I may have forgot about. Feedback is highly appreciated. This should work on all 2.1 through 2.2.1 ROMs, but I've currently only tested it on my current driver, that's where you come in!
NOTE: This may also work on other Galaxy S devices, but please, if you're going to test it, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!! Or at least know how to restore your current framework.)
Disclaimer:
I do my best to thoroughly test and make sure my themes and updates as universal as possible. That being said, not every flash is perfect. Issues with my themes/updates in the past have been rare, and easily recoverable, but that may not always be the case. Just as with any other updates you apply to your device, you're taking a small risk; That risk can grow when negative factors are added, e.g. human error/misjudgment, bad downloads, bad flashes, etc. I make these updates in my spare time, and offer them to anyone interested, however I am not responsible for damaged software, hardware, or any lives that brutally fall apart after flashing my updates. Please make sure you fully understand what you're doing, and the steps to reverse it if necessary, before applying these updates. XDA is a valuable source of information, simple searching/reading threads will often help you find a solution.
Instructions:
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP if you don't know how to restore your framework if anything goes wrong.
If you don't already have it, install the MetaMorph app by Stericson from the Market.
Download the attached .zip, and place it somewhere you'll remember on your sdcard.
Make sure USB storage is unmounted, and for best results, activate Flight Mode.
Run the MetaMorph app, Start Checks, and Unzip/Extract the .zip you previously placed on your sdcard.
Close the description. You can now install the different sub themes individually if you so chose (it's scrollable) , or you can select Apply all!
If you chose apply all and didn't encounter a forced reboot, it will prompt you to reboot, do so. Otherwise try again if it was unsuccessful, and reboot when it's done.
Deactivate Flight Mode and enjoy!
NOTE: You will have to reapply the sub themes for Market and Gmail every time they update.

THANKS JDAN! I've only tested Gmail and Market notifications, but its working great!
The Market icons seem to have reverted back somehow. Ill try to apply it again and see how long it lasts.
Your Market probably just auto updated. Every time Market and Gmail are updated they will "revert" back to the standard notification icons.

Metamorph is rarely successful for me on the first attempt when modifying framework-res. It usually takes me at least two attempts, sometimes with it force rebooting on me. Did Gmail, Email, and Market work for you at least?
On a side note, I might hit you up on Gtalk later with a couple questions.
To begin... make a backup 1st.... not responsible for damages while left in the parking garage.. enjoy the game!
This theme was made with permission of "thebowers". It's his creation. I brought it into GB land for the X2. I don't know if I did everything he did but I can tell you that I have made image edits galore for resizing purposes and to get all the new GB images not yet themed. I have also edited the crap out of a lot of xml's so things should work 100% smoothly out of the box. I have also incorporated some inverted apps which, I had nothing to do with. Credit there goes to thebowers, ecsnead and B-Boy. I also made a few apps myself because once I got going on 0.2.2, I got carried away. Three of those apps incorporate to make the X2's first (that I know of anyway) Fully Functional and fully inverted Dialer. 0.4 had issues so, I started over at 0 and made the entire thing myself this time to make sure it all worked.
Also, I changed the boot animation. It matches the theme oh so well. Credit there goes to Versatile1 because he made it (on droidforums.net).
Before we begin, I will list all the apps I have included. For ease of use, I highly recommend getting rid of any app on the list from your phones data folder first. For example, if you downloaded Facebook from the market, remove it from your data folder. Not saying you HAVE TO, just putting it out there if you run into issues, you know how to fix them.
Also for the market... this one you do HAVE to do... First, verify that you DO NOT have a vending app in \data\app!!!!! If you do this will not install!!! You will need to uninstall updates before flashing... Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"ALL" tab>Market>Uninstall Updates
Will it break your phone if you don't do that? No, it just won't install a market... at all!
Lastly, I have taken the time to guide every .9.png file in the framework and in every app I touched. What this means to you.... If you want to make other changes, everything will decompile and recompile without error. Of course you need to add the dependencies if your editing systemui or settings but thats a blur thing. Not something I did.
Now.. onto the part anyone actually cares about..
The theme is located at the bottom of the deepest cave, surrounded by guardian flying pigs who crave bacon and eggs.
Ive also included a BNB style Icon Pack because, if you are crafty enough to figure out how to install them, I'm crafy enough to share them It's not a huge list, it just covers the basic ones most people stick on the main homescreen.
You can get that here.. but you have to go through the cave first.
If you see any issues please let me know.
Heres the cool list that got into the party....
Framework
SystemUI
Calculator (everyones favorite)
Contacts (Inverted)
Dialer (Inverted)
Phone (Inverted)
Facebook (Inverted)
Gallery 3D
Gmail (Inverted)
Google Quick Search (Inverted)
Keyboard (Black) .. whichever one is in 0.5.. hard to keep up...lol
Gtalk (Inverted)
Market (Inverted)
Google Voice (Inverted)
Music (Black) ##This is NOT the music app that came with Eclipse and it will erase that one##
Notes:
Music app worked on my phone without skips or pops when multitasking.. hope yours does the same.
Battery icons are stock Eclipse.. 200 images to make from scratch takes time.
Settings (Manage Applications is white BG with Black text).. will fix that when I figure it out.
This theme is basically a complete inversion of stock (with different images too). It is dark. On the D1, it was a bit hard to see but with this glare resistant screen or the display quality or something, its quite easy. Plus is doesnt burn your eyeballs when using the phone in the dark.
The screens are from 0.4.... the unselected tabs in the screens now have black text
SCREENSHOTS
Lastly... if you like what I do.. hit the thanks button please. If you have issues, questions, trouble installing, suggestions for a new app to invert.. POST UP!!
I like it cannibal pigs lmao ;-)
Great update btw hahaha

My phone is stuck on installing update with this zip. I will have to do a battery pull in order to recover. I tried again and same thing this isn't installing properly or even coming close.
I will need some confirmation from someone else to see if they can or cannot instal it. In the meantime, I will reinstall Eclipse 0.5, download the file from the internet like everyone else has to, and, try installing it on my phone. Give me a few for the results.
Yeah I don't know man. Worked fine for me.
Tell me exactly how you are going about installing it. I will troubleshoot it with you.
I have .5 eclipse installed i reboot into recovery and flash zip from sd card it hangs on installing. Everytime I have tried it gives me the same thing. I haven't had any problems with any other themes either.
I installed fine had to dl twice the first was a "bad" zip but the second dl was fine

Ok I can't purchase anything from market replaced the black one with a regular version from xda and still no go not sure if its theme or rom
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
My understanding on that issue is the stock one is jacked up in that way as well. I have heard (but not tried) that there is a .dex file you can install and all will be well. It has something to do with the signature of the app and it not agreeing with Google purchasing market thing whatever it it is.
wdenker.. maybe try downloading the file again like xheavy did. You could have just gotten a bad d/l. I have this on XDA and DF and no ones having the issue. Also, did you try using this theme on 0.4 or 2.2?
Currently updating this theme some more. Nothing has been posted by me yet but.. I have settings now fully inverted no matter what you click on.. i.e. "Manage Applications". I am about 50% done theming Go Launcher, I have the power widget on status away from green and, lastly, (for now anyway), I will be making new battery images.
Also, I plan on pulling all of my apps and redoing their icons to match. If you have request for app shortcut icons, please let me know.
Thanks for the info bro but after searching I haven't been able to find anything. Would you be able to point me in the direction of that .dex file or thread that contains it? Lol I hate the search function on the xda app lol I miss my poor dr pepper soaked laptop lmfao
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I asked about it... heres the info I got from a buddy,,, (the user names mentioned, except for the obvious are on DF)
there's no real fix... the certs files are an issue I think.. even the stock version is giving that error on some roms.. and my market works on most but some roms have the error.. bgill and BIGxie are both trying to figure it out also.. there's a user on XDA rujelus (I think) that has an inverted market also and his zip file worked on one of my roms that hadn't previously but then when I tried his again during testing, it wouldn't work anymore...
Ive themed every market since probably October of 2010. Best I can do is go backwards till one works, if any.. if you want.
Damn didn't even know there was this kind of problem lol its all good man it'll just force me to save money lmao
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Don't feel bad. I didn't either til I started working on an orange theme and went to the market to buy a theme to see what orange would look like. FC and WTF! Checked around, apparently its hit or miss and no one can figure it out. Works on some ROMs, doesnt on others.
update
Was just going to update to v0.5 but I'll wait for your next release since i read your doing alot to it. I hope its not like first one was on my bad phone just kidding my old phone was just messed up read about a guy sending 7 DX2s back
I thought my 4 was bad
Hi all
Sorry if this has been posted before or if I'm in the wrong section. I've tried to learn as much as possible, but as a complete noob to Android, I'm finding it a tad unmanageable.
What happened:
So first I rooted my device with Odin and CWM6.4. I used CWM to make a backup of my device on the internal SD, as I have no external. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro and flashed first CM9, then the LFB modem, then CM10 and then GAPPS. I then reset my device, or whatever the option was called to delete everything, which the guide said was required.
I'm now running the CM10 released yesterday (06082012) and everything seems to be running well. However here are some questions, that I hope you can help me with:
1) I liked the touchwiz widget for the weather and clock. Can I get this back somehow?
2) I liked the swype keyboard and tried installing swiftkey3, but this does not have swype apparently. Can I somehow get swype again?
3) When I installed CM10, I had to delete everything, which meant I lost all my apps and their files. Is this standard when flashing? I would like to fiddle around and try some different roms/kernels, but it would get tiresome if I had to reinstall everything from scratch every time.
4) Since I got CM10 instead of stock, the screen seem to be generally much brighter and drains a lot more power from the battery. I've tried setting it on automatic, but it doesn't seem to adjust the screen brightness even if I try covering up the sensor with my finger. Does anyone know why? Is it because I'm using software which is under development or is there an easy fix?
5) I've tried getting it to transfer my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone, but it just doesn't seem to happen since CM10. Is there something I can try to get it working? Also before I had the option in the facebook app under app settings and could check a box here to make it sync. Now the sync option seems to be under Android homescreen --> Settings --> Accounts --> Facebook --> check to synchronize. It says it synched like 30 minutes ago, but I can't see the contacts.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!
Regards Casper

Lets answer your questions one by one..
1. You cannot get tw Widgets on cm10..as it uses the framework which is different from CM10..try other widgets from the market..
2.you can download swipe by going to beta.swype.com and downloading it manually..or else install slideit pro..its also provides the same functionalitty..
3. You don't need to install everything when you reflash..use titanium backup root from play store to backup Apps+data ..and restore the apparel when you flash again..
4.might be a rom issue..remember it is still in development..
5.the settings I jb are in that way..try going to Facebook app..open the contact list..scroll up and down till al the contact pictures load..check you phone contacts again..hope it work..used to work earlier in gingerbread..
Don't mind the spelling mistakes..I am typing on a phone in a moving bus
Cheers.

After rooting and loading the LiquidSmooth ROM, I discovered that the widgets and features I used most are from HTC and now gone. I then discovered that the distraction of the fam arriving for Xmas caused me to miss an important step ... backing up the current ROM. Every attempt to put the phone back using original ROMs available on the inet have failed ... and I'm not sure I really want to go back anyway. So...
1. Are there good replacements, or perhaps the original widgets themselves, available for the HTC widgets? I especially liked the calendar agenda widget and the widgets that allowed me to toggle wifi, bluetooth, mobile data and GPS.
2. How do I get internet passthrough to work? I'd prefer to use however HTC did it with HTC's or HTClike apps and drivers, but if that's simply not possible I could use a link to a good alternate solution that works ... every alternate I've found on the inet has user comments that its unstable, unreliable or simply doesn't work.

There are tons of ROMs available... assuming you were on the latest OTA before doing this, your best bet would be to install this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 (Bone stock, just root added)
The original widgets are tied to Sense, so unless you are using a stock or stock-based ROM that includes Sense you will not be able to use the HTC widgets. You could switch to a Sense ROM, there are several in the Developers sections, probably 5-6 or more that are based on the latest OTA, or you would try something like HD Widgets or other widget packs in the Play Store, there are tons that will give you the things you want.
Internet Passthough? Do you mean WiFi tethering? Most custom ROMs have that built in, just turn on Portable WiFi Hotspot, the one in LiquidSmooth works great.
Re: widgets and Sense: Thx, I should have guessed that. I'll look at the widget packs and see what I can find, and those other ROMs.

HTC calls it internet passthrough (or something similar) but it seems to be more commonly called reverse tethering, where the phone uses the PC's internet connection via USB. WiFi isn't an option at many of the places I use the phone.

i used hd widgets for clock replacement...launcher pro has some sense like widgets that come with as well...in the play store theres a few widgets that can simulate htc's widgets....but always keep in ming anything not sense based will not have those htc widgets...
well the toggle widget is in Liquidsmooth
i haven't been able to get the usb pass-thorough to work on win7 but it works perfect on Ubuntu so we need to find the driver for that
(with the tether it can either pass-through your home's wifi or you can use your 4g connection)
as far as the htc widgets go. you should find one in the playstore you like, i tried pulling the apk's from the ics stock rom but i already knew that they weren't going to work but i tested it anyways and they dont install on JB
I've been using the Themer beta since the actual limited beta release. For the past 2 weeks I've been running into an issue, and was wondering if anyone else has had the problem. Just to start off, I'm running a Samsung Note 2, rooted on official firmware. Lately whenever I add a theme to export from the themer friendly themes from mycolorscreen.com and load it up, it would crash my phone and causes a weird boot loop. It would restart my phone and go through all the boot screens, 10-15 seconds in to loading up themer it restarts again and goes through the same cycle. The only way for me to get out of this is to quickly go into settings and reset the homescreen to another launcher. Every theme from the actual themer app runs fine, and all of my personally made themes load fine as well. I have deleted the themer app and reinstalled it and I'm still running into the same issue. I've been sending all the crash reports. The last 2 themes I downloaded were RND UX and Flards 2 from mycolorscreen.com. They would load up for about 20 seconds and then my phone would crash and go through the boot loop.
Anyone have any solutions or insight into this problem? I consider myself pretty tech savy, and I'm comfortable getting my hands dirty using Zooper and UCCW, so I know
would sundryo
my themer also crashes since 4.4.2
but i don't have bootloops..

Hi there,
Unfortunately because your device is rooted, there's not much we can do on our side, as we test Themer on non-rooted devices. Sorry about that.
So you think it might be the root access that is causing the issues? That's unfortunate, I need the root access so I can use my external SD to do the heavy lifting for my storage (stupid Samsung using almost 5gb of my 16gb for their shovelware apps...) Any chance themer will be optimized for rooted devices next, since a lot of people with androids like to load alternative ROMs. I'm willing to be a guinea pig. I guess I'm already a guinea pig now since I'm using the beta. But in the mean time it's back to lighting launcher for me.

Are you sure your resolution matches the Themer .zip file? We've now implemented a new sorting feature whereby you can filter the themes according to your phone's resolution. Any theme that doesn't meet your resolution won't work, and might be causing this issue, else the uploader might have made an error.

Amazing yes I did check. Most of the themes I have been exporting have been the same resolution on my phone. One of the themes (ultra-minimal 3, sorry I can't post links since I have posted a lot yet.) the author said it was designed on a Note 2, that one just recently crashed my phone and caused a bootloop. I do a lot of theme changing, especially when I working on my own theme. Could it be that. Maybe I'm just bogging the system down. When I'm working on my theme, I save, export back, work on it, save, repeat... alot. (Unless that problem has been fixed) I'm paranoid I would lose my progress.
btw, thanks for your replies.

It might also be an internal bug within Themer. Try this:
-Uninstall Themer
-Delete the /MyColorscreen folder make sure your backup any of your work if you have any in this folder
-Delete the /android/data/com.mycolorscreen.themer folder.
-Reinstall Themer.
Then try again and see if the problem resolves itself, if not let us know.

It's been 2 days since I did what you told me, and no crashing, and no bootloops. It could also be a coincidence, but there was an update for themer yesterday. Either way, it looks like I'm finally in the clear. Thank you very much.
Are you?
Is the resolution of the theme is meeting your device resolution.

That's great to hear kaleonfire! If it happens again to you (or someone you know) then that method usually is the best, but updating also doesn't hurt.
Have a great day!
Interesting
