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:
n8_OD_4.0.0_original_Theme_v2.zip gives error in line 1
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 to version 4.0.1
This is excellent, thanks.
hi, i love this app, however when i pull down the notification bar it is dark and hard to read the text of the notifications
can this be corrected?

Either import the color file (1st post) or adjust the settings by hand in OD-Menu
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

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.
ive been using this theme on mik's CM7 Gingerbread ROM with no issues and is an all time favorite
haxzamatic's honeybreaad CM7 Alpha 4

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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967369
The newest version 3.8 is realy good with a lot of animations and it works like a charm without dencity changer..
Regards
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.

Thank you. this is great... i have just one problem... i installed it and i don't have battery percentage... just battery bar... what could i do? i am using Mik's last build.
cyanogen mod settings-interface-status bar tweeks-battery percentage..
1 st post updated with the new honeycomb theme with cirecle battery and working status bar.Optional is fonts for a complete Hoenycomb expierience!
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!

4. To mount USB after applying layouts, you need to press image on screen... there's no button
5. ICS Theme version is 032-build-408
6. ICS Layouts version is 012
7. acpather v5.31 was used to patch apps and framework
8. XPERIA S Home Launcher version is 0.9.1b

=================================================
Tested and working great

-- 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.
=================================================
Benchmarks
Extras Section
1. iPhone Portrait Walls
2. more walls at my thread
3. Xperia S Theme for MDPI (both original and transparent - I tested that and looks very good)

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

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?

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

Please guys, there would be no help given if the problem is not because of xnote.
Before asking mods related stuff please check if there is an xposed module active as almost all the time that seems to be problem.
And for people having 4g issues. This thread is for N9005 ,not for any other variants. We still try to help as much as we can. But dont move questions between threads.. if you need help. Pm users like @djbrian52 @Upstreammiami @Ark1406 as they are pretty helpful when it comes to other variants. As for other questions if not answered promptly please eat @Khizar 's brain

Q."Can I overclock on X-Note Kernel?"
A. No
Q."The bootanimation is so flashy, too flashy for my eyes to bear, I'm planning to move on to another ROM if they don't change this!!!"
A. HOLD UP! You can change the boot animation easily by going into the OTA section of X-Note, download the BIOS boot animation and flash it in recovery. OR! You can flash the zip provided by myself (fahadali2315) on the 3rd post below that would get you the default X-Note 7 Boot Animation!
FIRMWARE/RECOVERY/BOOT/KERNEL RELATED
Q."Would I need the Poland firmware to install? Or can I use my locally released KK as a base for flashing X-Note?"
A. If you have KitKat already installed, you will already have the bootloader required to flash X-Note. Hence, all you need to do is get to KitKat using any method
Q."What other kernels should I try?"
A. CivZ's SnapKat Kernel or Wootever's N3 Kernel are quite good. NOTE: You WILL trip your KNOX if you haven't already.
Q."What is the difference between stock kernel and stock kernel with init.d added?"
A. The init.d is a more advanced user option, where it allows the automatic execution of the scripts contained with /system/etc/init.d folder at each boot. Only select this if you plan to use scripts.
Q."What is this BTU CSC? What would happen if I live in XXXXX and my region is not specified?"
A. CSC means Customer Sales Code, and contains Carrier Settings and information. Installing a BTU CSC on an Australian device would not affect anything. It only gives you extra options.
Q."Why isn't my modem updated after installing the ROM? It's still at NA2!"
A. The ROM does not, and will never have, a modem install option. If you want to install/update a specific modem, you will have to flash it in Odin manually.
KITKAT 4.4 RELATED
Q. I cannot get into Tablet mode ?
A. It is because of the lovely updates from GOOGLE to blame
Q."Ongoing notifications are pushed down and temporary notifications are placed on top of the ongoing notifications! What's going on?"
A. This is a new Android 4.4 feature and is not yet changeable.
Q."On 4.3 when I swiped down on the notification bar, no matter where I swiped I would be able to pull it down. Now on the latest X-Note, when I swipe close to the right of the screen, the notification bar goes from transparent to dark...why is this?"
A.There is no workaround for this, as this is an official 4.4 feature so that it allows users to view the notification status bar with a solid background instead of intruding what is behind it. It is a visually pleasing feature over functionality.
Q."What is the Kit Kat Addons in Aroma?"
A. They are the CM11 apps that get installed usually when you install a CyanogenMod ROM, they include the AOSP Clock, 8sms and AOSP Calculator apps.
XPOSED/OTHER MODSQ. "When I press the volume buttons on the homescreen, I get a volume scrubber with a gear icon. When I click on the gear icon, it enlarges but there used to be more options to scrub for Media, System and Alarm. What happened?"
A. This is due to GravityBox. Make sure you select Media Tweaks -> Expandable Volume Panel -> Fully Expandable Volume Panel and if you want Expand Automatically.
Q."What's wrong with Xposed? Whenever I enable a module, nothing happens!"
A. Have you installed the latest version of Xposed and rebooted.
Q."The call recorder function only gives me a hissing noise when I playback, what's wrong?"
A. Not Supported in 4.4.2
Q: Why is YouTube force closing as soon as I click on it on my launcher?
A.The latest Youtube as of March 13th conflicts with the Xposed module YouTube AdAway, Disable it in Xposed and it will stop force closing on app start.The latest update in Xposed Installer (1.6) fixes the crash, so make sure you update it
Q. My Playstore shows incompatible phone when i try downloading some apps?
A. Download xposed module Playstore Fixes and set your phones original density(480) to sent to google. Then it will work
Q. I have weird looking bar on top of Contacts/Dialer.
A. Disable Menu Overflow from Gravitybox.
Thanks to @Khizar for this find.
OTHERS
Q. Screen Rotation is not working after deleting SamsungHub.apk?
A. Flash this file to fix it .Link Thanks to @Killberty for the link
Q."After flashing the ROM my Wifi and 4G/3G is not very good, what's wrong?"
A. It is not the ROM's fault, this is your Modem. Make sure you installed your region's modem on your phone. Don't go around asking where to get the 'latest' modem, as the latest is not the greatest in all cases. Use the modem you usually believe to be the best. 4.3 modems are not compatible with 4.4 ROMs.
Q.Is this ROM working properly on other variants?
A. It works well on N900W8 and N900T provided that you install the patches required for it to work. There is also an N900A version on the AT&T section.
Q."How do I dirty flash this ROM?"
A. This is generally not recommended, but if you must do it on your own JUST FLASH THE AROMA SETUP AND IT WILL WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY .
Q."Something is wrong with my multiwindow, shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiqktHuVa6A
A. Well, you're a strange one, If you are using Swiftkey, stop using it now. If not, flash the latest ROM and see if it fixed.
Q."My battery is draining heavily! What's going on?"
A. Download BetterBatteryStats from the second post of this thread and look for what is eating your battery and greenify that damn app :BBS LINK
Q. What should I do if my NFC/BT/Wifi isn't working?
A. Make sure you have flashed stock, kernel, modem, and everything up to date on the 4.4.2 iterations of the files. If you have anything 4.3, that is likely to cause problems. DO NOT FLASH THE N900W8 NFC/Wifi/BT FIX AS IT WILL NOT HELP. Clear your cache/dalvik cache.
KNOX
Q."I don't want to trip KNOX when installing X-Note! How should I approach this?"
A. Use this Guidebut there is no definite proof of not tripping KNOX if you know what you're doing.Be sure that you do not install any recovery from Aroma Installer, or else say goodbye to your KNOX Warranty.
IF YOU FOLLOW FLASHING ANY OTHER WAY YOU WILL DEFINATELY TRIP KNOX 0x1
TIPS- Samsung Email have big characters when writing a email in some density, recommended to install in aroma AOSP email or use Xposed
- Use Xlarge res (with xposed app settings module) for samsung Video app (com.samsung.everglades.video) at lower densities
FOR X-NOTE CANADIAN N900W8If you're on N900W8 Canadian,Follow this link to get a fully working X-Note
Link
Q: Will this new update trip my KNOX when I'm already on the 0x0 leaked Mexican Bootloader?
A: No it will not. No updates will. No kernels will. As the recovery does not write to the Bootloader, your bootloader will always be "happy".
Q. "What other kernels should I try if I'm a Canadian user?"
A. CivZ's SnapKat kernel or Wootever's N3 Kernel (Make sure you select the N900T version)
Q. What should I do if my NFC/BT/Wifi isn't working?
A. Did you flash the NFC/Wifi/BT fix? If yes, make sure you cleared cache and dalvik, as well as Fixing Permissions in CWM/TWRP so that the permissions are cleaned next boot.
Q. "How do I dirty flash this ROM?"
A. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50477486&postcount=662

Updating Bootloader or Modem
if you are already on stock kitkat 4.4 , you dont need the bootloader . If you are on 4.3 flash the bootloader provided in OTA links same goes for MODEM.
Procedure for MODEM
1.Download the file for modem ,
2. Power off your phone completely , press home +vol down + power and go into download mode when it shows two options press volume up
3.Plug your phone into PC
4.Open Odin 3.09 and select CP or for older versions select phone
5.Choose the modem.tar.md5 file you downloaded .
6.Dont touch anything else in odin
7.Start the procedure , it will restart the phone itself . Go in about device if it still shows NA2 or older baseband do the procedure again .
it tends to work the second time.
Same Procedure for BOOTLOADER
Just change CP OR PHONE TO AP OR PDA for Bootloader in odin.

Hello. Is it possible to Centre clock on xnote 11 ? Thanks for answers

The only possible way to center the clock is using xposed modules, but it won't work if you have OGbatteryMod enabled As it interferes with other statusbar mods .
So if you are willing to disable OGBATTERY, then you can center the clock however you want.
1. how to move clock to center together with the network meter? (tried with gravity box, not moved. didn't use wanam since it will cover the network meter) edit: so which module do you use to center the clock and make battery circle with %?
2. how to disable og battery mod? (since i read, it does interfere with other xposed module...) edit: ah...you explained it again above
3. is solo reading this thread? maybe he can give some answer...
Erase your BatteryMod by flashing the erase file .
BatteryMod Erase & Restore
Use Gravity Box or wanam Xposed to do whatever you want after that
Wanam has all the features . Battery % and statusbar mods . Check them out.
This thread is a great idea... thanks.
Q. How can I restore the stock boot animation with sound?
Wow Using Wanam after ages and this is what i make of my notification bar it took me less than 5mins.

Not really. A new Samsung "feature" is to disable any new baseband updates on 4.4.2 if you don't have "official" rom/kernel status. In order to flash a new baseband you need to use TriangleAway to get official status, boot immediately to download mode and install a modem with Odin.
