you dont leave it as a zip install metamorph and make a folder on your sdcard called androidthemes put it in their

make sure you read this right. It should be... "where do I extract the theme file? Bizz's answer is "You Don't. (period) (new sentence) Leave it as a zip...."

Just to make sure you don't misunderstand. Because without that period it was "you don't leave it as a zip...."

ps: I has a h*ll of a time getting the theme installed thru Metamorph. If it gives you fits, ask for help.

Wait.. in other words, download it on my phone instead of my computer and transfer it over through my usb?

well, you can... But, you're SUPPOSED to download to PC, connect USB. transfer to Droid as a zip file directly to the SD card. open metamorph and install using metamorph.

I downloaded directly from the web's browser (the link i posted above) and used Astro file manager to "find" the zip -- still using metamorph.

Do you have Asto and Metamorph? Have you downlaoded the zip to your PC? did you unzip yet?

if metamorph is installed -- part of the app installation was the creation of a file on your SD card called "androidthemes" -- connect droid, drop and drag the entire (unzipped) file into "androidthemes" -- if it's not there crreate the file - 'cause that's where metamorph will look.

Then unplug and wait for card to prepare, open metamorph, it'll check some settings, select "pick theme" -- it'll find it. and viola! done.

keep us posted on your progress

Metamorph goes to scan my phone then continues to force close.. looks like im screwed :(

it's a little screwy, keep at it-- if it still messes with you, copy and paste that link I posted above to an email, send it to yourself, download from the droid browser and then open Metamorph and when it asks "pick theme" it'll open what looks like "browse" on a regular PC -- it's actually Astro's folders - find the "downloads" folder and it should be there.


FIRST, go to home screen / menu / settings / applications / and check "allow unknown sources"

good point -- metmorph will go into siezures trying to find the zip while it's connected and is useless if not allowed root access.

you might to uninstall / reinstall metamorph to just kickstart the permissions.

Also, I changed the framework and now the upper bar is black which is nice but the time in the upper right is black also making it tough to see :( Any reccomendations on getting the time to change to white?

Thanks for all your help bud, really appreciate it.

Bizz has my back -- he's my trainer. He's looking over my shoulder saying, "very good, grasshopper"

If you think you need some help... you should've seen me trying to root. it was UGLY! I need to spread some good karma back here for all of the help I got.
