Read these note I don't put theme here for my health I know how this thing works they are for you.


This is a modified build of the original buff Theme many of the old icons have been replaced. There also have been update to further improve the skin. There will be continued work to get this theme fully embedded into the android platform.

I am taking rom requests if you would like to see buuf ported to your rom please.

Supported Roms
  • Cyanogen Mod
  • Dwang
  • TheOfficial
  • Manup Eclair

The release numbering will be changing now that there is a stable version of buuf. As of version 1.0 buuf will be considered a stable theme. The release versions will work in this manner.

Stable releases will consist of the primary release number and an even second number.
exp... 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 these are all stable theme releases
Experimental releases will consist of a primary release number and an odd second number.
exp... 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 these are all experimental releases and may cause problems.

I am going to extend the the life of the flashable release (Cyanogen Mod only) since some people are still having problem with metamorph. I will continue the flashable release until version 1.5 you will still need to use metamorph to do gmail, talk, vending, youtube images.

How use ddms
What you need
1. You need android sdk installed.
2. You need to have java sdk installed.
3. You need to have adb setup.
4. This should all be setup if you have a rooted phone.

How to use it
1. Navigate to you android sdk > Tools directory
2. double click ddms.bat
3. Make sure you select V or verbose
4. run the application/theme causing the problem
5. when done select a line in the log window
6. go to edit>select all
7. click the icons of the floppy disk and export to txt
8. send it to me or who ever needs it.

Logcat in ddms
1. go to device>run logcat
2. run the app/theme causing problems
3. click the X in the right corner
4. click save then save as <some file>
5. send it to me so I can fix the problem.

Not to hard is it! so someone having a problem with metamorph and a partial theme please send me some logs so I find out what is causing the problem and fix it.

MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP BEFORE YOU INSTALL
If you didn't back up you can attempt to uninstall by reflashing CM MOD which should replace anything this theme changes.

Make a backup IT takes all 5min and you don't have to go though the whole flash procedure again. I recommend making a back up on a fresh flash before you put anything on your phone. Then make a second when you have all of your apps and configurations done all you have to do is rename the nandroid folder.

MD5Sums are your friend check these!! they will tell you if there is a problem with your download. This will stop you from flashing a bad archive and it will also let you know that I was the last one to modify it. They are to keep you safe. There is a link to a windows app to check these below

Buuf Addon Packages

Something New and Fun
I have been playing with some java programing and widgets. Note: (I am far from great programmer if you have any input I am all ears) So I manage to fumble through and get a clock widget working So here it is 2 sizes small and large.

rom manup456 Eclair_2.0.1-v1.0:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=598973

This is an Alpha release that mean little to no testing. Make a backup before using it. This is only known to work on the rom stated you may try it on others but I recommend only installing core packages. There is still work that needs to be done so it may be missing themed peaces here or there if you find any of these and can take a screenshot for me please do. I will fix them.

nice port over.. and i see youve added some extra fill-in parts to match the original theme...

nice job, im not sure if the creator has quit development, with all of these roms and new OS ports etc and themes evolving with the amount of customization that can be put into it... not sure if he has the time

good job tho, :)

are you customizing the PowerControl widget as well? - some people use it

Buuf

I am slowly working though, updated a lot of the icons/animation I didn't Like. I will be doing more with the power control widget soon. I just did a quick background skin on it so it somewhat matched the theme. I have been putting of fighting with .9.png that have to be edited to make the widgets. Some are next to impossible to get stretched the right way. There will be more updates to Come. :)

force Close

I will get a home force close some times after doing the update but it only happens on first boot. The boots after that I have had no problems. There really shouldn't be any compatibility issue since the apk are ripped right out of Cyanogens zip file. The only changes are to the .png files located with in them. If you continue to have this problem I would suggest doing a fix_permissions on the command line or reinstalling the theme. If this doesn't solve your problem let me know.

note: If you have not checked the md5sum on the zip file please do you can use winmd5sum if you are running windows.

Is is possible for you to port this Theme over to Enomther's TheOfficial AOSP-1.6_r1.2 DRC92 (Donut) v2.0.3? (I will probably get crucified for this but...) I don't like to use Cyanogen's experimental builds because of the bugs that I may get during the day and because BFS seems to be fast initially but after a day of not rebooting it gets excruiciatingly slow. Thanks!

Is there any chance you could send me a screen shot of the bug. You can do this by having usb debugging on and running DDMS. I will look into and see if I can recreated it with a fresh install of cm.

    WONDERRING IF YOU CAN STILL INSTALL BuuF?
    HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
    UPDATE: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11165939&postcount=545
    Yesterday morning, while roaming through the ADW Launcher BuuF Theme website, I found out to my surprise that it is not the first nor the original BuuF.
    I found out, the name is taken from a very amazing and awesome way bigger, way more comprehensive, flashable version of an origonal all-over-the-system BuuF theme.
    What do I mean? Why am I so extatic about a mere theme?
    Take a look:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=574139
    (The last post there at the moment of writing this is, who else's, mine)

    It doesn't work no more though. It hasn't been in development for a few months now.
    Such a shame, as it used to be incoporated with CyanogenMod and I for one would be extatic to have such a comical, cool, and unique looking phone.
    I mean this doesn't just add a few icons... It makes the whole system look like someone just drew it with a very skillfull hand on the Painter P.C. program (=

    It originated in a project that allows developers to swap anything within an apk file. Which means you could take any app installation file and make it install the original app with a better look to it. Not just icon-wise, but everything in it; background, borders, numpads, letterpads... anything at all (=
    A brilliant idea if you ask me.

    I don't see why you'd wanna see that project's webpage, but in case you do... here's a link:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591329

    So anyways because that freakin' AWESOME all-in metamorphed-theme isn't in development any longer, the nice author of the ADW Launcher BuuF Theme created the small-scale solution which we know and love.
    But the interesting old-news are, that he also tried (or maybe stilll IS trying?... we can only hope) to reconstruct the actual, original Metamorphed-BuuF-Theme.
    The way I know this is because I've read a post by him saying so. Here's a link to the thread:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10564752#post10564752
    (His comment: #37, My comment: #40)

    So I looked around to see if I can find a working version of the original Metamorphed-BuuF-Theme, but there seems to be none out there. The last version was for CyanogenMod 4 or so it seems. I might try that one when a friendly user sends it to me, but then again I might not ;)

    What I DID find except for the beloved ADW Launcher BuuF Theme, is this:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10564853#post10564853

    I myself am not gonna use that anytime soon.
    Mainly because appart from what the ADW Theme already has, I'm not sure how much of the original BuuF this addition integrates into the system, and it might just be two additional icons... which ain't worth the zip flash risk.
    I have, however, posted a comment on that thread as well; to see if the author of this rescue effort can tell me what the additions are. And who knows, it might still be operational and working ^_^
    And in the meantime, anyone who's willing to try, can use that rescue effort :)

    In conclusion: The original Metamorphed-BuuF-Theme seems to be the most awesome thing to ever pass through the aspect of cool looking mobile phones, and it's a real shame it's not currently available and operational.
    It seems the only thing close enough to it at the moment is the ADW Launcher BuuF Theme by Fractal Systems, which as you know you can download from the Market.

    Still, it's wonderful to see how far the personalization need has taken people to. And because I cannot emphasize this enough: I wish the original BuuF would come back to CM7 and beyond.

    Feel free to re-post this comment anywhere you please. Just please do it as an exact quote and include my nick in it for credit. Although the REAL credit goes to the authors of the few efforts linked above (=
    Also, if you do re-post this anywhere, I implore you to go to the first link I've posted here and leave a comment in that thread, linking your re-post, so I may see if anyone replys with vital info on some awesome new version of the original BuuF.

    Thank you, this was TripleEYE (aka Nekoshu in MMOs),
    in an effort to summerize the current situation of the original BuuF Theme.

    Omg!!! Someone please pick this project up!

    As you can see here:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852021

    CM7 is gonna support themes in a much larger and deeper scale (within the very operating system)...
    Which is basically what Metamorph was created for (in regards to themes at least).
    SOMEONE!!!! PLEASE!!! Pick this baby up and make a full scale CM7-supportable Original-like BuuF theme!
    Oh My God!!!!


    P.S.
    If anyone knows about an already existing BuuF CM7 theme... Please post a link to it here ^_^
