So you've got no status bar? No battery or signal?

That's right nothing on top

Did you flash the patch for Morphology? Think that changes systemui. Ill have to look into it. Try from stock 120.

Well yeah I had a morphology theme when I installed it

ARocker · Mar 23, 2013

Yea, just checked out the patch and its a modified verizon systemui that allows morphology to work. Just like when you try to use morphology with out the patch it makes the notifications disappear...using the theme on the patched system ui makes it disappear the same way. Best bet is to start with a clean Metropolis 120. I may make a themed patch version in the future.

mike28 · Mar 23, 2013

Ok thanks will do

ARocker · Mar 23, 2013

Thanks for being the guinea pig

Lol no problem glad I tested it and you were able to find the issues :thumbup:

imSHAD · Mar 23, 2013

So is it still possible to modify this theme with morphology or will flashing the prep package mess up this theme?

ARocker · Mar 23, 2013

If you flash the theme then immediately flash the patch, should give you a partially themed phone with a working but unthemed systemui. You can then use Morphology to theme systemui to your liking. It won't be the full theme but I'm sure tou can get it to look very similar.

Ya, still having issues finding certain things. Like most of the tile/tab pressed pngs. Thanks for the offer I'm sure ill take advantage at some point

Not sure if I'm understanding correctly tho...as far as I can tell, the status bar brightness slider should have a metal looking knob like in the screenshot and not a dot. Can you post a shot of what you're seeing?

ARocker · Mar 23, 2013

Ahh, the dot is in framework....120 has a different framework res than stock mb2. That could be the issue there...are you using Metropolis?

The pics he posted in this thread? That's from an earlier version of the theme before I found the sliders

I'm still looking for the text field background png...know what I mean?

And thanks, bro, I appreciate all you do.

Thanks I'm glad you like it

I'm diggin the background you have.

Unfortunately not...seems #2 and Metropolis have drifted further appart since the mb2 release.

That doesn't mean there won't be a #2 version in the future.

mike28 · Mar 23, 2013

Has anyone noticed a little bit of a delay opening the dialer and message app after flashing the theme?

Yes

Yes, a delay when its first launched. Should go away after the first time. Can't say I'm sure why it happens.

I think it may be because the blue background is larger than the default. Or perhaps because the background is still somewhat transparent. I was messing with making the background semi trans at one point and scrapped it cause it seemed to impact performance in a negative way. Transparency for the background is turned off in framework res but the png may still be the transparent version.

I think....
Any suggestions?

ARocker · Mar 24, 2013

OP Updated!!!

Added [Morphology Patch for Metropolitan]

Please read OP for information and flashing directions!!!

will there be a fix for it?

ARocker · Mar 31, 2013

I assume so...if I can find the issue.
Its really not that bad. Happens the first time then goes away.

Its like...instead of taking a half a second to launch, it takes a second.

Its a non issue really. If its stopping you from using the theme...you're too picky.

Does this work with 1.3.0?
Will it anytime soon?

Sorry if this has been addressed already. Just flash metropolis for the first time.. diggin the stability. Just wondering if I can get something flashy I can show off :cool:
