z4Root - One Step Rooting for Many Android Devices!!

Ok ... I have Metamorph on my phone .. so all I have to do is download a new theme and install? Sorry for all the dumb questions!

Ok So I rooted with Z4. Now that I have that, do I need to install a ROM and how do I install themes? I know I'm a dork but if you can help I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

You don't need to install a ROM. To install a theme you can either flash recovery with ClockworkMod Recovery or SPRecovery or use Metamorph.
 
Gmaill 2.3.2 constantly crashes with root

With Z4Root, Gmail 2.3.2 crashes when sending emails ... force close every time.

Droid X (2.2) ... haven't tried it on 2.2.1. as I'm unsure Z4Root will root 2.2.1.

Yes, but Metamorph is tricky and can lock your phone up tighter than a bondage fetishist's wrists.

Make sure it is a MM theme too. You can't apply just any theme through MM. It will say [Metamorph] or [MM] in the title most of the time
 
Ok thanks for the help.... let me see if I can get one put on my phone ... THANKS

Also, it will more than likely say that the file isn't written correctly or completed(blah blah blah) when you try to extract it. All you have to do is go back into the app and select pick existing theme instead and it should show an unzipped version of the theme.
 
Is there any Meta morph themes here on thus forum?

Not many. And you'll have an even harder time finding full themes. Metamorph is a somewhat forgotten method. I use it for a battery icon but not many people develop for it these days other than custom pull downs, etc. I haven't seen any MM full themes on the forum. I've looked. What exactly is your reason for using MM to theme rather than flashing a theme?
 
For some reason that is what download into my phone when I z4 rooted my phone. Its nit like I knew what the hell I was doing .... lol

Oh, okay. Gotcha. I take it you haven't flashed any ROMs yet? But yeah, MM is a good app in my opinion but many people don't do anything for it.
 
If you're worried about screwing up your phone then read read read up on metamorph. I've seen it lock phones into unrecoverable bootloops because someone did something wrong.
