I downloaded v2 (is it really only 8MB in size?) but when I flash it I get a "Failure at line 3" error.
Tried AmonRa and ClockwordMod
exit:

I'm pretty sure something went wrong when you downloaded it, just downloaded it myself and flashed it, no errors.
So just redownload it (maybe with a download manager) and try again
And yes: this theme is only 7.76 MB, that's right

I will try it again. But I downloaded it from Multiupload, Rapidshare and Megaupload.
What is the md5 sum of the file?
I just redownloaded it again and compared it to my local "original" file, they are both the same:

I would love this theme for Pinky 1,8 classic rom, as I can't live without HTC phone, HTC People etc., which I haven't found a solution to get with OpenDesire. Is it posible to install it on other roms?
No, this would pretty sure result in a boot loop.
You will have to find some Pinky user who can port and test this theme...

After a full wipe and fresh install of OD 4.0 I was able to install this theme. I have used the Detox theme before. Maybe there got something installed which prevented this theme to get installed (or I have done something wrong when I tried to revert back to the original theme before flashing this one)
Nice team!!

Updated for OD 4.0.1
Great theme. Thanks alot!
Can you please add some mirrors please (megaupload.com preferably)? For OD 4.0.3 release also
Rapidshare has lots of restrictions, and I can't download most of the time from there.
Merge themes ?
I found a while ago a very nice theme for OD 3.X (which still works on OD 4), but it's very lite, changes status bar and some images only.
Unfortunately I don't remember where I downloaded it from !!
But I found that if I apply NexTang and on top of it this theme I get the PERFECT theme:
- the nice status bar with battery percentage
- the "Power off" and "Homescreen Menu" menu images
- Green item selection background (nicer IMO than orange)
But for the downside I loose:
- the modified boot animation
- themed lockscreen
- themed statusbar dropdown menu (which is very nice)
- and last but not least the language localization for date / alarms
Would it be possible to merge these two themes so that we can get the best of both worlds?
Probably just upload it somewhere and pass me the link, I will look into it...
I'm not allowed to post external links in posts because I'm new around here.

Hi, all. Here is my metamorph theme for CyanogenMod 6.1. It is fully compatible with latest nightlies(tested from 149 to 163), CM 6.1.0 RC 1 and DeFrost (from 5.9 to 6.0). It also should be compatible with every other ROM based on CM 6, and should work on Nexus, Droid 1 and other HDPI phones.
Warning!
1.S-OFF IS NEEDED!!!!
2. MAKE NANDROID BEFORE APPLYING THE THEME!!!!!
3. I am not responsable for any damage of you phone (hardware or software). All you will do is on your own RISK!!!
4. Please, read all thread before do something.
Instractions:
1. Install Metamorph from Market.
2. Download Zip with theme from attachment.
3. Unzip the theme to your SD in AndroidTheme folder.
4. Launch Metamorph and on first start allow SU permitions for it.
(Don't disable checks in settings of MMorph, it could cause the theme not to be aoolied).
5. Choose in MM "Pick Up existing theme" and browse to the folder "DroidX_0.2"
6. Choose DroidX02.xml file.
7. That 's it. Now you can apply theme to apps. It is recomened to apply theme to every other app separatly.
P.S. RECOMENDATIONS
1. Apply framework-res theme at first If the phone doesn't reboot automaticaly, reboot it manualy.
2. Apply Phone.apk theme at second. There will be a lot of FC. Don't panic. Pull out the battery and reboot.
3. After applying of some app thmes you can get a soft reboots. It is normal. Just run MMorph again and start from the place where you get reboot.
ADDITIONS:
1. For the full feeling of DRoid X you could download DroidX theme for ADW from Market. All changes made for ADW Launcher in this theme are changes in selections colour and icons in add menu.
2. For ppl who use LauncherPro i recommend download and inslall the themed LP from here http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4529#p22194
KNOWN ISSUES:
1. Some colours (especially progress bars in Music Player, in Market, in volume adjustment) are still orange, not RED. <----Solved
2. LatinIME has DroudX skin, but letters stay white too. So, it is for you to decide apply the theme to it or Not.
If anyone know how to fix this issues, please contact me im PM or write in tthread.
Changelog:
v. 0.2 - initial release
v. 0.3 - add Galaxy S like Dialer (if someone doesn't like GalaS dialer, there's "Contacts_v.1" folder in the packege with contacts from ver. 0.2. Just delete Contacts folder and rename Contacts_v.1 in Contacts, add GenieWidget new icon, solved issue withh progress bars, wich now are RED, like in original Droid X.
Applying now. (It looks good on the screens)
Edit: How long does it normally take to apply the framework-res.apk? Mine has been applying for 10 minutes!
It depends on the settings in Metamorth. You can make applying time shorter, but it could cause soft reboots happen a bit often.

This is bull**** honeycomb theme ain't for mdpi devices.
Thank you for your kind words sir.
Why exactly this is a crappy theme? Who said that is not woring in our devices? Have you try it at all? Have you seen the pictures provided, or you just read the first Haxamatic's post where is mentioned that it is for HDPI devices and that's all? Did you try to navigate to the 180 + pages that the thread has? Have you notices that i apploded the file from RomRepo, which is suitable for MDPI devices?
Of cource you cannot like the them, but certainly you cannot express your self like that. At the end, the theme is working, if you do not know how to apply a theme read entirly the instructions. About the drop down notification bar which is transparent i cannot do anything about that. In case you don't like it simply change to another theme.
Ps: I have found a modification of the them with circle battery in the statur bar, i will upload it when i'm home along with a screenshot.
Regards.
Man this theme Makes status bar crappy
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
First, big thanks for taking the time to post every relevant link. im sure that took a lot of time.
the problem with the theme is it has a lot of small visual issues that for me prevents it from being my default theme. (i have tried both haxzamatic's and the ported one)
some issues i have noticed:
- notification panel looks bad
- the percentage battery icon bar is lowered
- the progress bar knob is mis aligned (notice the 4th screenshot of OP's post)
- some icons/graphics (ie wifi/signal) are a bit blurry/misaligned)
some of the issues can be reduced by playing around with the lcd density settings for the device. as mentioned here by lekhwani
My suggestion would be to fix these issues. some documentation were provided by haxzmatic. i quote him below.
I also have a theme template on github with all AOSP graphics so you can start with stock graphics. I put a ton of work in behind the scenes so we can see some awesome themes for this system. http://bit.ly/fZUZ8t
Here is a Wiki I started if you want to build themes - http://goo.gl/i39kk

If someone would work to port this on our device to work correcty, now that would be awesome and worthy of a thousand thanks
Please try this one, and tell me if this is ok with you.
http://www.4shared.com/file/QjmcZq2e/Honeycomb.html
The progress bar knob is ALIGNED
The notification panel is visible now
Unfortunatelly it does not change the icons of Music, Clock-settings& internet into the new icons. They remain as Gingerbread.
The wifi/signal icons are not misaligned/this is just how the theme is.
About the percentage battery i'm working on it. Wait until afteroon.
great work!
- battery percentage looks fine in my device. (yhey!)
- i miss some graphics from haxmatic's (just my preference, for example, notice the blue background on lockscreen settings)
- would be great to also have the icons
- would be great to also have the theme apply to widgets(like the music widget)
this isnt based on haxmatic's work?
overall i'd say it works great on our device. Definitely better than most themes. kudos!
For a complete experience you have to use ADW Launcher or Launcher Ex and the dedicated theme for it (this will change the other icons).
what is with the link to the mdpi honeycomb theme?
http://www.4shared.com/file/QjmcZq2e/Honeycomb.html for the pictures above.

You might want to try LCD density for Root @ market and set value's to 120 to fully enjoy this mod/theme.
Zxhian , 120 is too small for our devices, but if you say that it work, then it will.
One other theme very very good, is from our friend zdUNEX25 from the GT540 forum..

well it looks cool i really want the lock screen but it doesnt work i am running milks CM7 6.4.2 when i try to apply the theme in metamorph it just sits there saying its applying framework-res apk theme pack but never finishesor installes and the theme is self from the apk file is cool but i cant stand the status bar pull down is clear i cant read anything but other than that its cool if you could let me know what i did wrong or how to get that lock screen ????
Delete AndroidThemes folder from the sdcard and the zip. After that redownload the zip and reopen it in Metamorph.
Also do not have the phone pluged with the usb.reboot and try again,it happens sometimes.

Absolutely LOVE this theme. The only issue I have is the charging images don't show. Looked in the file and they are missing the frameworks_res_ prefix. Not sure if that's why it doesn't show or not. But other than that it's AWESOME!

A great ROM.. An excellent MOD as most said...the end of a journey... THE BIRTH OF MIRACLE V4
After 3 versions of MIRACLE, my quest has finally come to an end! It was a great experience modding this great rom by vo-1. I tried to tweak this rom and make it as good as it can be. I really think that it can't get any better than this. MIRACLE V4 was done with lots of love and long hours of reading and testing. I tried to examine all aspects of its functionality with my poor knowledge but very carefully. Personally, I am satisfied with the outcome but that's just an objective matter. There will not be a feature version of this rom as I need to start enjoying my phone after almost a year I got it. I also need to spent more time with my two daughters, I really need some sleep and... you know what? I think MIRACLE V4 is good enough and will be used for quite some time by many. Thanks all for you kind words and support, it's been a blast all this. Maybe I'll start a new project but not after a very long time. Start using V4, I stronlgy suggest you upgrade to this version. Enjoy your ACE!
=================================================
NOTICE 1: MIRACLE V4 works excellent the way it is. It has not been tested with other kernels, mods and tweaks. So I am not held responsible if you do such actions and mess things up. It already includes a lot of tweaks, so adding more will probably not have the desired results. Of course, messing with some tweaks values will not do any harm as long as you know what are you doing. PureMotive's Battery Mod has not been included as most of his tweak already exist in Adrenaline Engine. Also bare in mind that after applying ICSLayouts you can’t use any zipthemer or metamorph patches, otherwise you will end up with problems. But if you really want to, just flash the undo zip to get rid of the layouts and then use such patches.
=================================================
NOTICE 2: I wanted to make MIRACLE V4 just the way it is... a barebone rom. The rom is what it is. Do not ask questions why I didn't include this or that. If I wanted, I would have done that. I give you the freedom to do whatever you want with this rom. I have included though all original deodexed apps of this version in one zip which you can find at the end of this thread and by following tutorial in 2nd post you can easily replace them. Eventually I can't satisfy each and everyone in here. After all, this is my mod! I would also like to ask you to not spam this thread with questions that need to be asked in other forums of ACE.
=================================================
Changelog from V3 to V4:
Note: Original V3 thread moved to 3rd post
Visual Elements
-- New bootanimation made exclusively for MIRACLE V4. Lightweight, consists only of 4 frames!
-- ICS Theme by Achep updated to latest 032-build-408, modded by nutellabanane's with power widget buttons having toggles below them. I then downscaled them for not looking so big. I also modded Phone Options menu icons in this.
-- All locksreen styles (sliding tab, rotary, lense, ring) changed to SteelBlue.
-- Holo ring style was downscaled from 126x126 to 110x110

Project MIRACLE
Current version: V3 (FINAL) 22.04.12
CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 by vo-1 (26.03.12)
Modded by itasoulas
Download MIRACLE V3 via Mediafire
A few words
vo-1's rom, in my opinion, is the best CM7 we got so far. I decided to mod this rom to make it faster, smoother…better. I always liked the idea of a barebone rom cause user has the priviledge to add whatever he/she wants without having to delete unwanted system apps. After MIRACLE V1 and V2, and after long hours of reading various threads on XDA and other forums about tweaks, I experimented a lot with certain values and end up with what works best for Galaxy ACE. So now comes MIRACLE V3… the most balanced, fast, stable and lag-free CyanongenMod7. Thanks for developers here on XDA that gave me the permissions to use their scripts, tools and visual components to make MIRACLE V3 an awesome rom. Thanks also for members that supported my effort and provided me with hints and answers. I present to you MIRACLE V3 (FINAL)!
Full Specs of MIRACLE V3
-- Fully deodexed
-- 100% barebone
-- Very lightweight - Only 77,2MB
-- 137MB free internal storage and 86MB in system
-- Plenty of free ram available
-- Adrenaline Engine v3.0 included (1)
-- Additional tweaks in build.prop
-- Journaling disabled (2)
-- GPS/Sensors Patch included (3)
-- Frameworkmod (volume only) included (4)
-- Fixed double setup when phone first starts (5)
-- ICS Theme by Achep set as default theme
-- LauncherPro set as default launcher
-- Roboto font set as default system font
-- Colored icons in Phone Options Menu (6)
-- Blue lockscreen buttons (7)
-- Status Bar supports transparency
-- New lightweight bootanimation (same as V2)
-- Google Play Store 3.5.16 included (original and bug fixed, check Bugs)
-- added vpnservices cause this is really important to some
-- extras at the end of this post (good stuff there + ics layouts)
More Info
(1) I edited the build.prop tweaks in S98system_tweak file. Deleted some tweaks and changed some values
(2) Journaling of ext4 partitions is disabled via an init.d script. The difference between skynet28 patch and my script is that the first disables journaling once and permanently while mine disables journaling at each boot. I’ve contacted him via pm and told me that the script would work just fine and same way as his patch.
(3) I edited GPS/Sensors Patch and updated sources from XXKPT stock rom. All hw libraries from vo-1’s rom were deleted and replaced with libraries from XXKPT
(4) I replaced framework.jar with the one from LPFinch’s frameworkmod that was created for 19.03.12 vo-1’s rom. So now you have 30 volume steps for music/radio
(5) Deleted provision.apk so you don’t have to setup your phone twice after first boot. That was an issue oocuring on original vo-1’s rom
(6) I edited framework-res.apk and replaced "Phone Options" Menu Icons with colored ones taken from Mixer Theme by MrDSL
(7) I edited framework-res.apk and replaced lockscreen button with blue ones taken from SteelBlue Theme by edint3000 (Team Carbon)
System apps that have been removed (37 in total)
ADWLauncher – Androidian – Calculator – Camera - CMStats – CMUpdateNotify – CMWallpapers – Cyanbread – Developrment – DSPManager – Email – FileManager - Gallery3D – GenieWidget – GoogleBackupTransport – GoogleFeedback – GooglePartnerSetup – GoogleQuickSearchBox – HTMLViewer – LatinImeTutorial – LiveWallpapers – LiveWallpapersPicker - MagicSmokeWallpapers – MediaUploader – Mms - Pacman – Protips – Provision – QuickSearcBox – RomManager – Stk – Talk – Torch – VisualizationWallpapers – VoiceDialer - YouTube

3. format cache/data/system/sd-ext
4. flash MIRACLE V3.zip
5. reboot
6. almost done!
7. Finalize GPS configuration by following TURORIAL 1 - 2nd post.
8. Now it's done...enjoy!
Check 2nd post for tips/faqs and troubleshouting
Bugs (fixed)
Google Play Store - Method1: Once phone boots for first time, do your google account sign in, and open Google Play Store for the first time. Accept Conditions and then close it. Use link2sd or similar app to clear Google Play Store's data and uninstall it. Reboot phone. Then via root explorer place it manually on system\app and change permissions (do this as described in TUTORIAL 5 - 2nd post. Advanced users already know how to do this). Reboot phone. We do all this cause otherwise Google Play didn't update some apps before like Superuser. Now works perfect! Vending.apk is also attached at the end of this post
Google Play Store - Method2: Once phone boots for first time, do your google account sign in, and open Google Play Store for the first time. Accept Conditions and then close it. Use link2sd or similar app to clear Google Play Store's data and uninstall it. You can also do this, from Settings, Applications. Reboot phone. This works for some users also so either method1 or method2 would do the jod. I suggest first try method2 cause it's easier and then if it doesn't work do method1
Screenshots (including layouts)
Extras
-- For those who want some or all default apps that were removed from system,here are the links for all default system apps. Links includes all original deodexed apps that existed in system\app
Download via Mediafire
Small correction: This link trully contains original system apps. That means original systemui.apk that has no transparency. The default systemui from MIRACLE V3 that supports transparency is attached at the end of this post if someone ever need it.
-- For those who want Status Bar with transparency supported, centered clock and centered date here is the link. I personally edited the status_bar.xml and works great.No overlapping of date over clock, no overlapping when receiving any kind of notifications but if too many icons on status bar then they will overlap clock.
Download via Mediafire
-- ICS Layouts for MIRACLE V3 (for original systemui, clock on right)
Download via Mediafire
-- ICS Layouts for MIRACLE V3 (for modified systemui, clock on center)
Download via Mediafire
-- Some icons packs that I already have and thought it would be nice to share so you can change your dock bars icons or some apps icons
Download via Mediafire
-- Some of the wallpapers I already have in my collection and sharing with you

Tested and working great
-- WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth, Torch, Proximity, Compass, BLN, 3G/2G Data
-- Battery life seems very good!
=================================================
Bugs and issues
-- If too many notices on status bar then will overlap centered clock
-- Even though Sansation font was created for multi-language support and complex writting, you may experience some weird characters FIXED
-- Sometimes when pressing search in Play Store or address bar on browser, app dissapears and only keyboard shows. If you start typing app will appear again
-- Low screen backlight when booting phone but brightness gets back to normal level after a few secs. It's a FireKernel issue and maybe this was done to save battery
-- On 16.06.12 update torch is working but not in status bar as a power widget.

2. more walls at my thread
3. Xperia S Theme for MDPI (both original and transparent - I tested that and looks very good)
4. XPERIA S Widgets (don't try the On-Off Tools cause some fuctions don't work. Weather widget is awesome.)

7. XPERIA S Wallpapers
8. Cosmic Flow Live Wallpaper
9. CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE-BAREBONE-12.06.12 mms, camera, real player and email are gone but beats+alsa+audiofx, torch and livewallpaperspicker are still on.
10. ICSApocalypse-Original Theme Still 90% transparent windows with blue frame/white glow but no transparency in all other aspects. You have to push it manually to system app and change permissions to rw-r--r--
11. Sansation-Regular Edited by itasoulas. This is the DroidSans.ttf font. To be used for those download rom prior to 12.06.12. Rename the file to DroidSans and replace the one in system\fonts, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. That should fix weird characters issue for most languages
12. To crop portrait walls search Google Play Store for "Crop Wallpaper" app. Does not run in background. Best ever
13. APOCALYPSE-19.06.12 + ICS Layouts ==> My personal mod of this rom ALL IN ONE .rar file

there is no need to flash Apocalypse Layouts-undo, coz when you flash Apocalypse Layouts-patch and reboot status bar will be in its place.
Should I still flash Apocalypse Layouts-undo?
Why such a convoluted and not an exact guide?

Ok...Achep for some reason suggest in his thread that the patch-undo-patch procedure must be done in order for layouts to be installed correctly. I don't know why but he's the one created the patcher. That seems to be true cause if you try to integrate the patched apps and framework-res into rom prior flashing you will always end up with a bootloop. Strange but that's the way it is.
Also the installation procedure is in 4 steps and must be done in that order. For example, after testing I found out (for some weird reason) that if you first do the layouts installation and then the AE installation, status bar is completely gone. Maybe it's the launcher that causes that problem.
Anyway, hope I answered correctly
itasoulas
