Having problems doing a complete theme transfermation.
I have been able to root my droid running FRG22D, and installed Rommanager, and clockwork recovery to install this….
But, the keyboard doesn't show up properly, and the clock in the notification bar is black, instead of white.

I LOVE this theme, and want to use it, but these are two things that I just cant get over

Quick question….i have this dark edge theme, i also downloaded rom manager. i see al sorts of roms you can download (i have the premium version). any benefits to downloading any of these? like cyanogen or others? dark edge seems like it has it all. what kernels can i combine or download that will play nice with dark edge?
sorry, newbee here…. essentially, would love 1.0ghz as opposed to the 800 i have now, thats about it….

I've tried this several times now on many different ROMs. With a clean, rooted & deodexed FRG22D install + a fresh copy of Busybox installed off the market, DarkEdge Tools just hangs on “Processing A2S…” Without installing Busybox first, the process just errors out in “null null”. So I tried with Bugless Beast V0.5 as Kellex confirmed that worked, and had the exact same issue. Sapphire 1.1.1, same thing. The closest I've gotten was on Droid stock odexed FRG01B, which actually ran DarkEdge Tools successfully(!) and allowed me to skin the apps using Metamorph, but that completely broke some core apps like Gmail, which force closed every time I tried to open it — others like Google Voice did work correctly until installing their market updates, which un-themed it — trying to apply the app theme afterward was unsuccessful, and trying to run that through DE Tools again resulted in the same endless “Processing A2S” text.

Of course each ROM was installed with the “Wipe cache and data” option and the system was rebooted several times during the various installation steps before I gave up and moved on to another ROM. For now, I've regrettably had to give up entirely.

Try opening Rom Manager and at the top select “Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.” Then try to install your theme again. This works for me every time I have this issue (with any theme).

I wish it would be ported to other ROMs. I love love love this theme, but I do not want to run a stock ROM. Sapphire or ShadowROM please?

Sounds like an issue with busybox. Try downloading Stericson Busybox from market, making sure busybox is installed and up to date (even if you think it is) and then try app transfer again.

Maybe it's the fact that the Droid 1 doesn't care what frimware you run, and that the X and 2 have digitally signed bootloaders. Makes a HUGE difference. Also, the Droid 1 is still a great phone. Don't ship it down the river so soon.

The theme by itself seems to render some apps like Google Voice completely unreadable. Assuming the app theming section as a requirement, Dark Edge Tools seems to be taking an awfully long time “Processing A2S…” (Apps2System). From what I understand, it's just copying/moving apps from one part of the phone's storage to another. Why would this take more than an hour?
