Default [THEME][METAMORPH] The Way Blur Should Have Been v0.88

UPDATE 8/27/2011:
Newest update with flashable zip is here!!


To get best results, apply this over the Eclipse rom. This will not work on Froyo.

Got tried of the Gingerbread look, I kinda missed a little blur. My biggest pet peve about our devices is that honestly, they are better with light colors because of the display. We don't have an LED display so black is worthless. The darker the themes are, the brighter the screen needs to be for us to see them. (Think of a white screen vs. black screen - white illuminates better.)

I do enjoy a little bit of black though. That being said. Here is my first theme for our Droid x2. This is a metamorph (extremely easy to apply). Still a work in progress, and there are a lot of things that still need to be done. Let me know if you find any bugs or want to suggest something. I'm no photoshop artist, I usually just recolor icons and and add pieces. But nonetheless, it's a good start for a theme.

Instructions:
  1. Unzip and place directory in /SDCARD/AndroidThemes/
  2. Make sure you are rooted and have Metamorph installed
  3. There is a problem with Metamorph, or rather, how Android works. Statusbar is going to force close, keep tapping Force Close, a dialog about framework-apk will appear behind the Force Close dialog asking you to Continue or Cancel. YOU GOTTA BE QUICK!! Tap force close and immediately tap Continue. Like I said, you gotta be quick! Ninja quick! :P

There is an app in the marketplace called metamorph which can apply themes to rooted phones. I think you need it to flash this.

Ok am currently trying, using metamorph. It's currently not working at all, with FC's. Would be much easier if it was a flash because this looks great.

I got the same problem you did...multiple fc when I applied it so I had to pull the battery. Started my phone again and now I do have the theme on my phone now but I still have the green battery from the eclipse rom. But everything else is blue....

Yeah. Metamorph is a bit fickle. But what I do is just keep pressing force close. There are two apks it's patching. It should ask you to press continue on framework-apk (that's where the battery icons are). Just keep pressing force close and the continue, it'll work. You gotta be quick though. This is a problem with Metamorph, unfortunately. I'll work on a flashable zip tomorrow. It's past midnight here. I'm tired. lol.

Edit: Check the OP for updated installation instructions. Thanks guys!
