Okay, I'm new to the forum and I signed up to get help with my phone because... well, right now I can't do anything except sliding the lock thing and seeing the same error messages popping up and telling me to force close. This is how the problem started. I wanted a black notification bar so I went on this website Black Notification Bar | MetaMorph | - Page 3 . And without reading any of the instructions, I downloaded it, extracted it with the "Metamorph" app for rooted users on my phone, then I installed the bar and it rebooted. Then the notification bar disappeared and when I unlocked my phone with my pattern lock code a bunch of ".... has stopped unexpectedly" messages appeared. (Just the messages. I can't see my home or anything. Just the messages and a black screen). I tried hard resetting it but, still no luck. Now I'm wondering if there's any other methods I can try without using the phone (since it can't do anything at the moment) or without using the computer since I can't mount. Maybe I can do something on the SD card? Someone please help me! And I'm new to android so please briefly explain everything. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Hope someone can come up with a solution.

P.S: Is there any way to uninstall the Metamoprh theme without using the phone or mounting to the computer? and is there a way to reset everything back to the way it was when I bought it? (w/o using the phone or mounting)

@YouTu_01 My phone was already rooted. But I don't know if it still is after I hard resetted it. And is there a way to reset EVERYTHING from your phone back to the way it was after you buy it using an SD card or hooking up the phone to the computer WITHOUT MOUNTING?

That's why there are INSTRUCTIONS and as you mentioned the app is for ROOTED users, try rooting your phone first!, and then FOLLOW w/e instructions they say.
