Animated themes drawback? - General Topics

So are there any drawbacks using animated themes?
I see a slowdown when using it, but is there any other bugs/drabacks/potentially dangerous things?
Thanks.

Besides the side effect you've already mentioned there are no other drawbacks I'm aware of.
But as always if you didn't buy it or if you didn't make it your self then check them for virusses.
Regards,
Mark

All ROMS the same

I cant help but notice, after trying 4 or 5 different ROMs that are on here, they are all basically the same, just with a few different programs missing from some and included in others. Has no one made a ROM that is different or interesting - i'm sick of looking at the HTC Black theme with the HTC Home screen

So change the home screen and change the theme. Better yet, you could cook a rom yourself if you're unhappy instead of starting another pointless thread.

Then change your theme and home screen, my friend!
Well while the roms may seem similar, some are much faster and more stable than others.
As for your other point, the beauty of windows mobile is that you can do whatever you please with it by simply installing cabs. Don't like HTC Home? Remove it and replace it. Sick of the HTC black theme? Change it. By simply searching on google, you can find thousands of windows mobile themes.
If you want your phone to be really unique and interesting, you can't count on different roms. The rom chefs make a good base rom for you, it is up to you to personalize it.
You could always try any of these things to help sproose your phone up.

Much better then changing your background. You can change the FOREGROUND

If all roms are the same, why have you bothered flashing new ones? Obviously your original shipped rom is as good as those offered here because "... they are all basically the same" - so why not flash back to the original and stop creating pointless threads.
The reason you (and we) flash new roms is because of the subtle differences - some faster, some more stable, some better looking without tweaks, maybe also because only ONE component is better etc etc.
As for no one making a rom that is "different or interesting" - I find them all different AND interesting. I'm also trying to learn how to cook my own by extracting or adding the components that I like best - if I come up with Rom Utopia I'll post it here - but I won't find this Utopia until I try all the other roms and extract the best bits.
In summary - flash if you want to or don't bother if they are all the same anyway, but stop posting useless junk, and stop criticising the work of others until you are in a position to be their peer.
This thread so doesn't belong in this forum.

Paulmezza, you have the beginnings of a valid point here, but you haven't finished it. What would you like to see in a ROM that would make it stand out from the crowd? There are some great programs and customisations out there, why not make a list of what you'd like to see in a ROM, and then post it. As other people have pointed out, we're only limited by the core Windows Mobile OS itself, everything else on the phone can be customized and tweaked. Post what you'd like to see and you might inspire a budding chef to build some of your ideas in - or you can take the plunge and cook it yourself!
There are some many applications out there that you can use to mod your phone to make it special. Go check out handango.com or somewhere else to find what your looking for. or Google UI's for your phone. The only things making your device generic is you.

i agree with u it would be good if cooks did have major changes between their roms, i wanted to try and cook my own a t-mobile themed wm 6.1 rom but too complicated and i have no time cose busy with school since its the final year. No need to attack this guy for this its just his and my opinion, some days im sitting here looking at the detail of the roms see if there is anything to attract me to a certain rom end up basicly throwing a dart of a board with their names pinned onto it.
Mods please close this pointless thread......
its not all that point less whats wrong with a little criticism? i mean i like the work of the cooks im not saying i hate to roms juts variety would be good as well.

What he stated in his post was that quote:
"Has no one made a ROM that is different or interesting - i'm sick of looking at the HTC Black theme with the HTC Home screen"
So the problem for him is the fact that they all look the same, not that there are subtle differences between them. So like others have already said, if someone does not like the look of a Rom, go ahead & change the appearance! Take the time to learn how to use RLToday, Ultimate Launcher, WAD and the whole slew of other Today Plugins and Customization apps that are out there. Its not really the chefs job to supply the eye candy, thats where individual taste comes in. Their main goal is cooking up a fast stable rom.
Part of the problem lies with the end user...
Before selecting a Rom do you really know what you want out of your device?
I for one decided that as Applications are bound to change and what I want to do with my device is equally varied I would be better off the what's known as a "Clean" Rom.
So when I cook Roms that is what I make. I remove everything except the Core OS. then I add in registry settings that I prefer such as cache settings, at&t keyboard layout, etc.
Then I take all of the extracted applicatons and build cab files for them (unless I find someone else has already done a good job of this) and I collect those cab files into one place to share with everyone.
So with my XDA Live Rom what I've ended-up with is exactly the applications I choose to use with the max amount of free storage space. The effect is that I don't put any cache files/e-mail attachements on my storage card so I can safely use it when connected to my PC(s) via Card Export II.
Like anything in this universe, cooked roms are only what you make of them...

I would like a fast clean rom with wm 6.1 (sinces its faster imo) i don't have a clue about registry stuff so one with all the necessary tweaks, your roms is at&t so thats why i don't use it since i have an mda vario III and havn't noticed a 6.1 one

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU PAULMEZZA. This is BS and I'm sick of it too.
Now please excuse me as I watch 700 channels of HD TV with my mind scanning remote control and automatic potatoe chip feeder...
a lot of cooks want to accomodate for the majority out there. Some cooks made a couple themes for theres and they put in a lot of hard work changing every bit of icon on the rom. If you are looking for something totally different, try some third party software to change up your desktop. There is this you can look at.

paulmezza: you get a bit of slamming for not being respectful of the hard work people put in. "sick of", geez! Be nice and appreciate free stuff.
Confused-Stu: Nice, respectful, I agree.
TheOccult: not-so-respectful, but funny.
Several others: Dang, the stompfest just keeps going on when one doesn't agree. Especially when a precious thread is started, or an already answered question is asked.
How about a little courtesy, restraint and patience. This is becoming almost comical. What's next timeouts?

[Live Wallpaper] [Theme] Galaxy S Blue Sea - White mod (Now with apk!)

This is my first post here, so hopefully I'm doing it right
I've been playing around with the Blue Sea live wallpaper from the Samsung Galaxy S that persiansown released... turns out it's extremely easy to modify as all of the textures are accessible png's and a significant amount of it's code is human readable script. I haven't looked at the other ones yet, but I imagine they're the same. Anyway...
www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=Aq-ojq8tt5U
Sadly can't post links/images yet, maybe someone else can clean up this post! Thanks to both persiansown for the original release and djmcnz for the non-rooted version which is easier to mess with. Especially since I really have no idea what I'm doing. Hopefully I can try releasing this in a day or two when I have more time to clean it up...
EDIT: Okay, I added an apk. This is based on the non-rooted version, so it should install on anything. It will probably overwrite the original non-rooted version and I have no idea what will happen if it's installed next to the rooted versions!
link to the white mod
Linkage please
Look really good better than blue.....
would make a good app if it were like nexusmod allowing us to customize.
could you make a dark version? i like darker themed wallpapers and they save battery
Feature request: When tapping the bubbles, they color is not static, randomly chooses one of the google colors.
No real changes, but test apk added. It should work. Maybe.
would it replace the original one!?
Currently, yes, but I'd prefer if it didn't. I'm still trying to figure everything out!

great job, really =D can you modify the Ocean Waves too? i really don't like the background, it should be nicer with white sands or something similar to a caribbean beach =)
Is there a way to keep the standard and modded version together?
i tried screwing around with the ocean waves lwp by replacing the background(seafirebg_512x512) with a transparent one..
to give a clear water rippling effect...
but all i get is black screen with a white rippling effect to the top left corner :/
any pointers or someone wanna take a shot at it??
This thing is crazy recourse intensive. Is the original as heavy on the cpu and battery?
BTW, this is beautiful, I would use it more if it didn't kill my performance.
Unfortunately yeah, as I understand it the Galaxy S has a better GPU then the N1 which is why their LWP's are so intensive. All I did was swap in some different sprite images.
I don't use it that much either on my phone anymore, I need the battery life

[ROM]Damaged_BURST.v3.FINAL

hello everyone. heres another one of those crazy things i do here. this time i built on damage so i could use dconfig again. I had the idea to put this together when i saw koni's transparent mod,then the aosp zip and burst's theme. This is mish mash of all of that work+ some of what i do. since its built on damage and the biggest add on to theme was burst's theme. But while i was ripping them apart i realized that the aosp theme was basically using the same framework as burst with a few tweaks. Then got it to boot. I did have some serious issues with the kbs and the notifier but i learned what i was doing and fixed it then decided to post...Didnt take as long to finish this(about a day), because i didnt do ALL the themeing. I just found it and mixed it all together with some of my own tweaks added in both visually and performance wise.
HERES WHY YOU SHOULD FLASH:
1 CUSTOM BOOT
1 CUSTOM HTC KB (THEMED GREEN)
1 LATIN_IME MT KB FROM DROID_X
1 HTC_IME MOD
4 INTERACTIVE LWP FROM...(sorry i forget what device)
1 INVISABLE taskbar by KONIKUB
1 THEMED HTC clock widget(by me)
1 THEMED rosie(by me)
INCLUDED APPS
adw. its my fave and most stable imo
andro for file browsing and app backup
dconfig for tweaking(thank treve)
updater for new roms and themes ota
sys tray (to monitor ram)
battery widget (to monitor battery%)
titanium backup
left the sprint apps for once....
sorry all, i forgot to toss the nextel tikl in(ill toss up an update.zip with it)
i didnt throw in all the extra crap this time so this rom is a normal size(170mb)
screens
NOTE: THIS THREAD IS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND FEEDBACK ON THIS ROM TO HELP MAKE IT BETTER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST MAKE SURE YOU FLASH IT FIRST. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT BY ME TO KEEP THE THREAD ON TOPIC AND USEFUL TO THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO USE THIS MOD. IF YOU DIDNT FLASH IT WHAT KIND OF HELP COULD YOU POSSIBLY OFFER IN THE WAY OF IMPROVEMENT?

hey awesome rom. I was wondering if you could put all the wallpapers you use in a .zip file? That would be awesome for us to download. THanks for the hard work!
Does the 3VO appear over the phone like in the screenshots? If it doesn't, I'm all over this.

That's unfortunate. I love the look of the ROM otherwise.
Sorry to be the debbie downer but I think it looks garbage. :/ A bunch of poorly done photoshop filters slapped into a single rom. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
i must say this looks better than the previous RED theme.
so do I flash this by itself? or do I flash it over DamageControl's ROM??
Damn..this is nice and fast. The customizations is great. Nice job!
Do you know where I can get the HTC News Widget? I don't see it in here.
Thanks
i flashed this and the screen does not look like those pictures on post one. the taskbar is white with white fonts so the time is invisible.

if anything you should be downloading the rom and then ripping it apart and learning how to do what i do. Then MAYBE ill have a little respect for your opinion and what you have to say about me or my work.I am not a dev nor to i claim to be.it is your choice to choose this rom. so what was your reason?
your right; those 1000+photos did take me some time to filter EACH INDIVIDUAL FILE,then integrate the two themes and add konis transparent taskbar(took me a bit) then make it all boot. ive not had bootloop with neither of my mods so far on evo.had it all the time on cdma hero
thank you for your opinion and keeping on topic.but did you flash the rom? as the op states; its a prerequisite to posting in this thread. If not please follow the rules or dont post. Thanks

I hope not cus thats version 1 or 2 and i didnt ul either of those betas. ill double check the link and upload my personal that i just flashed 8hrs ago. So far it performs well w/o configuring dconfig. im on 70% battery after heavy use.not sure if thats good or bad. Its acceptable to me, but not remarkable like damager.FYI​
Had a lot of problems, lots pf FCs and random system restarts.....
i havent had any fc's yet. please list your procedure so i can see what the problem is. i test everything extensively before i put it up for others. that would be very bad if i put up roms before i got them working then told pps i support them...
By any chance have you had luck with flash in the browsers? I'm currently using your finisher rom but would love to switch to this one, however if the flash issues still stand I'll try a different one for the mean time. Looks great BTW.

wasnt sure if i was just crazy, but i posted this in my finisher thread as a bug i found 3days after running it. When i went use a site that needed full flash(shockwave) adobe test said my sware was 10.blablabla and that it installed correctly. well i used my site and tried to use a java music player and when it goes to play, browser dissappears (no fc just gone) It worked fine before, but i thought maybe i was mistaken. no one responded so i figured it was just a problem for me. I NEVER edited anything with the wlan-ko, the browser or anything internet releated, so i cant narrow down the problem. Also, this is a damage based so not sure whats going on with this issue. if i find anything ill definately pm you. if you hear anything ill ask you do the same. thanks.

AND, if anything...with the attitude you have towards development, why don't I see instructing threads from you?

did you flash the rom? if not please refer to ops. i am not a dev,instructor,or teacher. i am a tinkerer that ul's his roms so that anyone else like himself can have the same.

I cant see the "mod" title under your user name, so im pretty sure im completely safe in completely ignoring any outlandish,whiny requests you may have. Did the site just become facist overnite and maybe i missed something?Obivously my threads are riddled with the fonts you speak of so why bother to read them or post off topic comments that do not follow the ops in them? also, i do not encourage YOU or anyone else to keep their opinions to themselves. i welcome adversity. i can tell however, that you do not, since something simple as font/color which is our tool to use freely is able to prejudice you toward me or what i do here. it lets me see immediately how closed minded you are, and obviously would not like my work(it goes w/o saying that what i do is not for the normal crowd_more well received by the out of the box style of thinkers), so its no surprise that you would come to another haters defense.no loss to me boss.keep up the good fight, keep discouraging developers on the largest android dev site......glad im not a dev or i might be a bit offended by your words...if you want to whine more just pm me. this is a thread for rom related issues and developement as stated in the op in LARGE COLORED FONT, not the why i dont agree with the ops decision of fonts/sizes thread....WHY not go post in a thread where you LIKE the work? just another one of those crazy thoughts i have, just like those CRAYYYYYYZY FONTS.......Why hate on me? does it pay THAT well?

[THEME/MODPACK]1st FROYO THEME WITH VIDEO & PIC

NOTE: i have posted this in themes and here so that those that are/were not aware of how to utilize video on froyo would have better chances of seeing it or those that didnt want to check out froyo for the no vid or buggy cam issue. This is also a tut on how to get it working for you. I think this should be posted in dev and theme since it qualifies as both.
​
[THEME/MOD]PROTO-G_v.1
I began work on this and it is exclusive to a specific froyo rom atm. I am working on 2more things right now and i need some feedback towards what to add to this setup, and when i get enough changes/added mods and/or edits, i can then release another PUBLIC version in update.zip form. Its not just a skin though, this is what i did so that i could test a froyo rom. So this is the EXACT mod im running right now. I will be editing two more items shortly. I will be optimizing and zipaligning the app and framework folders since i just found a sweet new script.
PROTO_G PICS
instructions: !!NANDROID ALWAYS!!
(only tested on froyo by myself)
1.flash avalaunch or hero over's froyo+sense
2.reboot
3.reboot recovery
4.flash framework zip
5.reboot
6.reboot recovery
7.flash htc zip of your choice(F!n!$h3R,Baked,FROYO 2.2 and stock)
8.reboot,enjoy
DOWNLOADS:
PICK 1 HTC.PROTO_G.ZIP of YOUR choice(will be adding in stock)
(the only difference is the lettering on the mainnav scroller)
DOWNLOAD FROYO 2.2 VERSION
DOWNLOAD F!n!$h3R VERSION
DOWNLOAD BAKED VERSION
NEXT:
DOWNLOAD FRAMEWORK.PROTO_G.zip
THEN:
REBOOT,ENJOY
The reason there are two files rather than just one or added to a rom is because they do not work together and it will not work that way for me. I am working on it. I will update it as soon as i figure it out.
NOW TO ENABLE VIDEO
1.OPEN new qik i installed version 0.04.05
2.select menu/camera/front
3.press red button to capture video
​
Nice work. Thanks for sharing!
Just a little constructive criticism if I may--- Re-examine the lock screen. The clock/text doesn't fit the "lock bar" and the white text is lost in background.
Great work, BUT I'd reconsider such heavy theme modding, it's a nice ROM, but the look is completely a dealbreaker. That's just me anyway, maybe other people will like it.

This is just how i do it. I know i cannot please everyone, and i do not do this to become known or make $. its a hobby and a learning process. im merely sharing the fruits of my labor/learning, with those that care to give it a shot/appreciate the art. This is also a tut for froyo with video for those that wanted to try froyo but did not because of no camcorder capabilities, and not just a theme but a mod pack that includes many very useful utilities to monitor,maintain and control you system to squeeze the most productivity out of your awesome evo.

No one will ever claim your themes are boring. It's very... embossed. It kind of reminds me of what you see if you jam your fingers into your eyes, but in a good way.
Ever think of turning these skills towards something more bland?

froyo with cam and camcorder and they are not buggy. i included a tut on how to set it up. its very simple. its froyo, themed, with cam and vid. cam and vid are achieved thru FRONT cam. im not even sure of the res(idrc what it is, it does what i need it to do, and i NEED a quality cam cus i have an 8mo old to take pics and vid of) for that cam, but the pics and vid are awesome with the tut i included in the op. nandroid and give it a shot. i guarantee you wont be dissapointed that you did.

Gotta say, your themes are like the Type R stickers and autozone stick-on vents of the Android development scene. There's a market segment for them and you put a lot of work into them, sure (and I imagine you get a lot of downloads) but damn if they aren't embarrassing to a large portion of the community. Your skill at theming is impressive but your lack of taste at making something aesthetically pleasing is abhorrent.

Perfectly phrased, thank you. You're editing png files, dude, not engineering kernels. Pray that no real developer ever hacks in support for animated png files, then we'll have the theme equivalent of his signature.
I suppose i can appreciate the time you put into doing all this for some sort of niche market that appears in some places, but i have to say, as a person with a design background and an interest in the subject, your themes are absolutely terrible to look at. They do not flow, they do not look good, they are simply some batman and robin font pack you found online and whatever photoshop filter you happened to click. I guess it's good if your goal is to differentiate yourself from every other theme as much as possible, but i think you went to wrong way down the road. And as said previously, all your work is obnoxious (sig included) and I hate you for assaulting my eyes with what can only be described as melted rainbow vomit with a futuristic font from the past.
Also, what you do does not require skill. You edit image files.
please stop.
This THEME ROCKS! Can you make the font bigger?
Magnus,
On your phone the sig may look fine, but on my monitor, currently set at 1680x1050.
This is what your sig looks like on my screen.
It takes up over half of my screen.

That is a full page screenshot, as you can see the image is more than half of the screen real estate.
You know....
With your liking toward comical colored fonts, colors, and overall taste, you should really aim at making some anime theme'd UI's.

[Q] Sense UI No Border Widgets?

Have the inspire 4g, am a new root user, as well as new to xda and these forums so pardon me if I ask something that has been answered before, but i have been trying to look for a way to get rid of the black border on the HTC widgets. I think it would look really great having no black background on the weather and clock widgets including the other many many many fantastic HTC widgets seeing as you will be seeing more of your background and visually, it will look more spacious. Is there no theme on the inspire that has this feature or should I say, NOT have this feature? I have searched and have not seen one with just the background gone. Usually with the very few that i have seen with the background gone, there are just complete revisions to the other parts of the widget which I do not like. I'm not degrading anyone's work by any means, I applaud all the modders that make these sensational themes, but I'm just surprised I have yet to find one with just a clear background of the sense widgets compared to the fantastic yet over complications that I see people put into all these themes I have seen!
P.S Sorry if I put this into the wrong thread. Please do say something so next time I will know!
