EDIT- NO Metamorph needed

I just came across this theme now and funny enough this thread was updated an hour ago and they now support BB V1.
LUNA THEME (by IcculusX) - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Just so you get an idea:

I have never felt this way about another ROM before. I feel like I am cheating on my nextheme by putting her away in a nandroid :(
Installing in a few minutes, I will update with quality when I can.

Seriously - I think this is better than DarkEdge (pretty much)

OK testing now...
 
First loading, it rebooted on my when I unlocked phone.
Second start up - stalled a bit once the lock screen showed, home icons took a min to load and there was a GVoice FC.
VERY snappy, no detectable lag yet.

The battery, signal, BT icons at the top are a little small for my taste, but legible.

Loaded the extra apk themes, but other than what's listed on the link, I am not sure ehat else is themed

I can't tell if the Gallery is themed - it doesn't look like it.

ADW Launcher installed next and it is fast and flawless. Only issue is, my icons and such were carried over during the theme install, but when I installed ADW, it got rid of them and I have no option to go back to the other launcher - so I will triple wipe, nandroid back to pre Luna, remove all icons, reinstall theme and ADW. I would rather not have problems.

Well I tried the first install, and nothing happened. Didn't change anything. Tried it once more, and the only thing it's changed is I have no service :eek: Well, going to try a backup and I really hope that helps :eek:

Edit: I tried it once more, but still no changing the theme? Thoughts?

Hmm - I am assuming you installed it as a zip via clockwork or ROM Manager, then it really should have worked no issues.
What was your install method?
I have installed it 3 times on different ROMs with no issues - except it would not install over CM test 1.
BB V1 and NexBeast it worked well - just make sure you DL the correct file per the link.
Let me know

Well, so two things I've noticed. In my bookmarks in the stock browser, all the blanks are now planets. And, the icon for the browser now looks like the Chrome one. I've no idea why it's only skinning those two things. I'm not using the test-1, just the latest CM and installed it "successfully" through RM. Maybe I'll try downloading it again and trying again, I really want this theme.

You can install it via clockwork recovery.

I'll give it a shot once I update CM. Why would it work differently installing it via RM vs CR?

Gah! I'm a friggin idiot, apparently this one isn't going to work with 5.0.7, as I'm getting some nice boot looping (c/o Inssane's sick new boot animation). Anyway, going to restore and just forget about it.

Alright, well since my restore brought me back to 5.0.6.2, I decided to give it another shot, and well nothing happened, again. It's just too early in the morning to keep futzing with my phone.

I tried it with CM .7 test 1 and it didn't work, but never tried it with an official release on CM.
Just go to BB :)

I need help with installing this on BB V.1
I installed everything and it says to uninstall market updates
I went to manage applications, clicked on market, and could not find the uninstall update option.
For this reason I can't download anything from the market because it keeps forceclosing.
Please help?

Well I hope you did it in the right order:
BEFORE INSTALL
Uninstall the Android Market updates if you have them. Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, [filter all] select Market and click Uninstall Updates (then do not open the market or it will re-install the updates. Luna has the updated market built in)

Then install.

I didn't do this the first time around because I like living on the edge, and had no issues.
