How to use MetaMorph?

**mclarryjr** · 01-18-2010, 09:30 AM

I'm trying to add a theme to my phone and have downloaded it to my computer and installed MetaMorph to my Droid but can't find any directions for the next steps. I have looked in a few other forums with no luck can anyone please point me to the right spot for a dummies guide.

Looks like I found the answer here

OK, I'm having a huge problem with this. Everytime I open Metamorph it closes and gives me a message that says it won't open, make sure I have enough free space in /system and that busybox is installed. Well I know I have busybox installed and I'm pretty sure there's enough space. What am I doing wrong. I've searched the webs but maybe I didn't search hard enough???

What ROM are you using? I'm using Greek v4 and there is a compatibility issue for me not sure if that's your problem too but I get the same error. I'm thinking of changing my ROM and see if I can't get it to work.

Don't know what ROM I'm using but I'll say this...just rooted my phone and all I did was follow the steps that was posted to get wifi tethering.

Good luck and let me know if you find a fix.

if you're getting a not enough space error, you can try this in an adb console:

su
ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/cp

make sure you back your stuff up before, just in case. i'm always a little paranoid editing stuff.

And where would one find an adb console???

Nevermind, finally got it working.

If anyone ever needs help, this is what did it for me. They break it down barney style!

**mclarryjr** · 01-26-2010, 12:00 PM

I need help how did you fix it?

**TreyDaPrince** · 01-26-2010, 01:10 PM

The link I posted says it all...I'll repost the text later if you can't see the link.

**mclarryjr** · 01-26-2010, 01:36 PM

Once I get to a computer I'm sure I will be able to see the link.

Thanks

**mclarryjr** · 01-26-2010, 03:25 PM

Sorry I don't see it.

**mclarryjr** · 01-26-2010, 09:05 PM

Just updated droid root helper/busy box thinking the busy box was dated and that all worked but still can't get MetaMorph to work.

If I go into system/bin I see busybox so I know I have busybox.

Ok here's the link again, 8th post

I enjoyed this Ringtones and wallpapers,its a good place where i found everything which i want for my phone.

**mclarryjr** · 01-27-2010, 08:17 AM

Thanks for the help but its still not working going to try a sholes rom tonight and hopefully it will work then. What a pain in the a$$ but at least i'm learning a ton.

**mclarryjr** · 01-27-2010, 10:40 AM

After installing sholes ROM metamorph is now working.

Ok, so when I want to download morphed themes, do they have to be compatible with my phone? Because I'm noticing that on the xda-developers forum alot of the themes there were made for the g1/dream. I don't want to download the theme upload it and then find out it doesn't work.
