No market?

Yea MM requires MM-Specific themes.

Good to see it worked out for you man!

The nightlies is up to you man, don't have to install them daily or at all if you don't want to.

From now on though, you won't need to re-install GAPPS unless they update it and you want the latest version. I flash it maybe once a month?

You can do nightlies, stick with stable builds, or only do RC's. Up to you man.

Metamorph , from my small knowledge, breaks down the theme's into parts. It also doesnt matter the ROM with MM.

I've only used it for the Droid 2 Glowing Battery Icon.

Basically download a MM theme, and open metamorph, find the .zip open it. Then pick what parts(or all) of it and hit apply.

Oops, I already replied before I saw this. Alright, that's how he pretty much explained it in the video. I had someone make the the round battery icon and I needed to install via Metamorph, needless to say, I never got to use it. A couple of other questions if it's not too much trouble, but about other things. To install a boot image logo via RSD Lite, would I do it the same was as I did when I rooted my droid(that's the only time I've used RSD lite) or would I just flash the file to my phone and just wait for it to be done?
And second, if I remember correctly, adb is something you get when you download the android SDK, right? I wanted to install a custom boot image that requires scripts and what not using adb and I think a terminal is involved but I have no idea on how to install anything via adb, any incite?

[Dj Carpenter]

How do you find them? And I think I'll stick to nightlies. I like staying up-to-date with everything and I don't want to miss out on any nice features.
And I thought Cyanogen market had a blue theme to it? I've always seen that with it. Maybe they just did it themselves, I don't know.
Sorry about all the questions, You don't have to answer them or anything, I don't mind. I'm just trying to become a little more experienced so I can create and/or maybe share work, etc, and it's hard getting answers when it's 2 in the morning usually

That's probably the Nexus 1 or G2 build of CyanogenMod.

Glad you got the market working.

[Dj Carpenter]

I didn't know they had different features. Good to know. If I can get Metamorph figured out then I'll be good to go

And thank you!

That's probably the Nexus 1 or G2 build of CyanogenMod.

Yea, I'm up late writing a paper haha. Told myself this is the last time I'm gonna refresh the page for a while though.


1) No idea about the boot logo, but I am almost 99% positive I saw a guide on here, pretty sure its in the general "Droid Hacks" section.

2)I dont personally use ADB, never really had the need. Not even sure what you would need it for if your not a developer. You can use terminal to type in any scripts you need, just open terminal and open your hard keyboard. Start off with "SU"(enter) to enable super user so you can edit stuff. From there just type the script. Any "Push/Pull" commands are all ADB though so I have no idea about that.

3)I assume you mean finding MM themes? You can go to CyanogenMod | Android Community Rom based on FroYo. and go to the forums and go to Motorola Droid Themes. Any Metamorph theme will have [MetaMorph] or [MM] in front of it with instructions inside usually. I have only used it for one thing(Droid 2 battery icons) and that is on the CM Droid Theme forums. Pretty sure some others are too.

4) I've been on CM for a while now,since the 6.0 first RCs and never had a blue market icon.

Hope I helped man.

I'm sure I'll be checkin back so feel free to reply. Took a ton of my ADD meds so I'll be up all friggen night.

[Dj Carpenter]

School or college? And that's fine! You've helped me out quite a bit

And I'll search for it. I just usually try asking first because I have the worst luck using search to find anything. Most of the time it shows me lists of ROMs that aren't associated with what I typed. Drives me crazy.

Hmm, maybe I don't even need it then. In the scripts it had adb at the beginning of the text but maybe that's just part of it and has nothing to do with ADB. I hope not anyway.

Alright, will do. Metamorph seems so easy now haha. Now I can use that round battery that he made.

Well, I'll just get one with MM then. I've grown tired of the green. Had black once but it was a little much.
And you have. Thank you and to the others as well!

College, pretty easy though its on any plant compound. Chose THC

ADB really just makes it easier. If your a developer your gonna be putting a bunch of commands into the Droid and moving files back and forth for whatever your making.

It makes it a lot easier to type commands and move files between your computer and the droid. Computer keyboard is a lot faster to type than the Droid one.

For as long as I've been rooted, I don't think I've ever put more than 3 lines into Terminal to accomplish anything I want.

[Dj Carpenter]

Haha that's good!

Hmm, well if something calls for adb such as changing the bootanimation, can I just do it through Root Explorer and it still work the same? I read that you can put it in data/local folder but it doesn't mention removing the current one(which I would think you would need to do?). But it says to put it there and that's that.
And I've used terminal only for fixing redraw. The boot animation I want doesn't show a terminal installation.

Hey man, yea this is really easy to do.

"Push" = put onto Droid
"Pull"= Copy from Droid to Computer

Those are ADB commands.

Good news is, you don't need ADB and this is REALLY easy to do.

Basically its like this...

adb remount ----This mounts the SD card, same as doing it from the notification drop down
adb push C:\Users\(user)\Desktop\bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip ----This means take the file from your desktop and put it onto the droid in the folder "/system/media/bootanimation.zip" No different than copying and pasting it into this folder manually via Root Explorer
adb shell reboot ---this just reboots the phone so you can see the new boot animation

ADB has always seemed complicated and unnecessary to me , hence why I've never used it.

Boot Animations work like this...You don't flash it or anything. There is one "Bootanimation.zip" on the phone. You change it by replacing that file. So any boot animations you download will be called "bootanimation.zip" and will replace whatever boot animation is there. You can probably rename the old one whatever you want instead of replacing it, but don't quote me.


I could be wrong, cause I don't care enough to change it, but changing the Boot LOGO, the "M" at the startup, DOES require RSD Lite or whatever it is(only used it once to root).
