The only change is in setting, font and icon. The main screen and any other screen, not change...

Right guys, I've been cleaning a load of stuff up..

Right here is the latest version: http://www.mediafire.com/?6y63j8vry9uk2ds
Now once you've installed it, could you tell me 3 things:
1) What does the preview say
2) What is your screen resolution (L/M/HPDI) just say your actual resolution if you don't know which one you are
3) Does it allow you to apply the theme?

This is helping me work out exactly what reads from where on what device and what I need to do to get things working.

Thanks :)


AAAARGH. Buttons are broken. I give up :p

You developing on windows?

Disable the preview in androidmanifest.xml for mdpi.

Thanks for the tip, I've read it before, but actually I'm on Ubuntu.
I think one of the problems is that I'm compiling with apktool rather than against the Cyanogenmod repo, as I have poor internet connection, and can't work out how to sync only the t-mo theme parts that I need, rather than every device supported by cyanogenmod :p

Well I had to sync the whole thing :L. Took a few hrs.

You need to add the backslash in the android manifest to disable the preview.

Okay, I've done that now, updated first post.
New version should work with all screen sizes, as I removed the preview

Well, It works perfectly now but, and this is only a suggestion for the future, you need to work on the icons. They're from the older Android versions and that is the only thing this theme has which is not perfect. But, overall, great work ;)

Do you mean Windows Phone rather than Android? :p

I'll look into it...

    QUOTE=JudasLucifer;27404044]I do at some point intend to add mango icons...I just need to get a source of them, decompiling ROMS for Windows Phone 7 devices got me nowhere.

    I never expected this to support anything lower than HDPI, as that's the only phone I have. However someone said near the start it worked on their LDPI device because theme chooser scales the images down, I have never been able to test this.

    App drawer icons were implemented at some point but many people didn't want them included - and so they weren't. The file manager icon still remains because it uses the same image the rest of the system uses for the folder icon.

    I haven't posted on this thread in a long time and there have been no updates. This is because 1) I didn't see any pressing issues, 2) I have since moved onto CM9 and 3) Lots of schoolwork. I will however revisit this at somepoint and make it "more compatible" with CM9[/QUOTE]

    I have my metro theme for cm9 in progress :D

    I will try and get in touch with the theme author, see what he says...but I wouldn't be surprised if he says no!


    I made the text boxes the exact same size as the original, except I think I might have got rid of some shadow around the edge and left it blank, so it might not work there if you touch now, where you might have used to have been.

    That said I am just in the habit of touching the centre and it works fine, And I don't know what I could do about this...



    I have the highlights half working in Theme Chooser. That being, they are still yellow to the touch, but turn the darker blue (focus) on long press.

    I can't see a problem in my xml:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_disabled" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_disabled" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_focus" />
        <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_pressed" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_focus" />
    </selector>

    The "frameworks_res_list_selector_background_pressed" is obviously the light blue .9.png - but its still occurring yellow. So I think it *may* be a limit of Theme Chooser. Or someone else might be able to prove me wrong :p

    I will have to put them in the next metamorph for the time being...

    I have messaged the creator of said MetroStation icons, and will await his response to see if I have permission to re-distribute!

    Since it's a free app, I hope he will be liberal!

    Also another good contact might be guys from Minimal bread and Minimal magic - seems most of the 'orange' odd bits have been overcome in those themes. Even on long press options where we get Orange and in keyboard suggestions - they have managed to make themechooser theme with everything coloured in same flow. May be they might be able to share the trick?

    I suppose you could extract the images from the apk if you wanted, but you'd need the authors consent.

    @PaintballerAlex had added all the application icons, he may add more, provided he has them available!

    If @PaintballerAlex wants - he could add more from the market app called 'MetroStation' - it's icon pack. I am not sure how the author might be contacted, but if everyone is happy, you could probably acknowledge the original author and use A LOT of icons in theme.

    For now, icons are semi-themed on my phone. I'm unable to change any icons using various icon-swapping apps. They fail on Launcher 7.

    Also,

    You mentioned that you might have a separate metamorph for replacing all the 'Orange highlights' - would it be replaced by blue or white? With current theme only tile colour that matches is blue, but if all orange were replaced by white, I guess all other tile colours might suit too. :)

    How is everyone finding the text boxes btw? - Are the borders a bit thin or anything?

    The text boxes in email and messaging seems about right!

    However some grey boxes don't respond very well to touch. I mean touching it's edges or few other areas might not work straightaway, but touching right in the centre of any greybox, generally works. If touched in corners then it just needs another tap. It could be my dying touchscreen, but since everythin else works ok, it could be that the images are smaller, bigger or something that I don't understand. But no biggie though.

    Awesome speed!

    You are getting a hang of this theme! ;)

    I'll try to look up more things that can be replicated as in WP7 - and then give more puzzles for you to solve after homework!

    For MMS.apk and speech bubbles - there is an app in the market called WP7 messeging or something similar in search terms.

    It's a new app in beta version, but they seem to have managed to get the bubbles working! - it looks extremely COOL!

    However, it's very laggy and slow as it's still under development. But if you could blend something in - that would be awesome, if not, users could add this app to have a feel of it. Not good enough for daily use though.
