That's definately a writeup..lol I will try it tonight when I get home but, I did read thru the entire thing. Very good job I would say. Easy to follow along. I'll put it to good use. You might want to write that up for the How-To section so it doesn't get buried in this thread over time.

And thank YOU for taking the time to do it in the 1st place!

You're welcome and will do. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Hey I meant to ask you.. does metamorph only work with things in /system? Reason I ask is, if I moved an app over to the SD card it wouldn't be in /system/app anymore.

No you're not moving the app over to the sd card, you're just copying it so you know which files to edit. If you already know the files and file names you dont have to do that step. The apk remains in /system/app/.

No what I mean is, if I have an app installed on my SD card to save memory on my phone, can I theme it using metamorph?

Or are you saying that even if I move an app over to my SD card, it still stays in the /system/app folder?

I have 0 apps installed on my SD card but others do and if I make a theme I need to account for that.... or do i?

Oh I see. Yeah it would have to be on your phone, and not your SDcard. That's one con of Metamorph. But can update.zips touch apks that are in your sdcard?

no idea. I wouldn't think so. I'd believe you would need to theme it before you moved it to the SD card. I was just curious since I didn't know.

Yeah you'd most probably have to do any theming before moving the app over to the sd card.
