Angry How to theme for the Mytouch 3g Slide

Today I will teach you how to make your own MetaMorph theme... First thing you will need is this: R/W of system patch and an Example Metamorph.

Flash the R/W of system patch and either from adb on your computer or terminal on your phone enter this command:

(Computer)

Quote:
adb shell aufs --enable

(Phone)


Quote:
su
aufs --enable
Next the theme..

The example metamorph has a structure like this:

Quote:
-Theme Folder Name
-Apk Name
-res
-drawable
-drawable-hdpi
-drawable-mdpi
ThemeName.xml
Name all app morphs according to that of which you are themeing, each rom may be different so you may need to check. Include theme images in drawable, drawable-hdpi or drawable-mdpi. Last the .xml It should be named the same as your theme folder, inside it will define all apks to which should be themed... You can add the the theme name the version etc...

Extract ExampleTheme.zip to your sdcard and download MetaMorph after applying the R/W of system patch... This theme is a W.I.P, Im still rusty at metamorphs

I dont understand what you mean.... The way I do it is extract the whole res folder of a app or a framework to my desktop and put those images in the metamorph...
