Hello, since I get bored of Manilla 2.1/2.5 and I really want to USE my phone I have installed iPhoneToday - it's fast & really functional.
I have 2 questions:
1. Because it is not supported anymore, is there an alternative (not Winterface or iLauncher), which can be configured with own icons etc.?
2. Does anyone know if it's possible to iclude a weather-app (like the phone icons) shows temperature and weather?
Regards,
S-Line

You may like SPB Mobile Shell, its a little heavier than iLauncher but lighter than manila.
Thanks, I have tested most apps, also SPB MS, but it's a bit too overloaded, also I didn't find a nice skin (hate the original one).
But can I use png-files as icons in MS (like the iPhone-like icons released here)?

There are some icon packages floating around and you should be able to use PNG files.
Have you tried Ultimate Launcher?
You can assign icons through the UI.
back in the day there was a UI called Throttle Launcher they may work for you. I haven't seen it in a while though.... It had lots of skins and options to customize

Hey all,
Well, after searching around I haven't quite found anything fits what I want. Wouldn't it be nice to have a today-screen plugin (I would be using TodayLife if it was a plugin) that is completely customizable, by let's say, XML? TodayLife came pretty close, but I would like to display the Windows Start menu and taskbar on it.
Does anyone know something like this?
thanks
Let's see... I think RLToday and XIAMultiTheme would be good.
But these are pretty well known, I assume you already checked them, why aren't they suitable? They are today plugins and are customizable by XML files.
Oh, and there also is Throttle Launcher, but I have no idea how to customize it.
What about Wisbar Advance Desktop?
It can act like a today plugin (i.e. replace the today screen completely). It's very customizable and powerful, you can set the taskbar and/or bottom bar visible/invisible and integrate the normal today plugins into it.
How about homescreen++?
yep, Homescreen Plus Plus (BatteryStatus) is XML...many themes already created on their thread.
I'm sorry, but isn't HomeScreen++ just a battery status and a clock?
moved to Q&A section.
please, refer to the rules.
thank you
Hello together,
I'm playing around with all these apps, themes, roms since 2 days and I already changed a lot of things which are nice, but there are still some things which are bugging me and I can't find a solution for them. it would be really nice if you could help!!
I have installed MaxManila 2.5 V3.0 and the DKBlack theme and several other little stuff.
So now the problem is:
1. that my digital clock has a transparent background, is it possible to change this back to a white or something else? just transparant doesn't look so good in my opinion.
2. The icons on my home tab for the shortcuts are the old ones, how can I change them to new ones which I've downloaded and which are already working in the main menu?
3. Maxmanila produced a crazy flame background for me which is already not correctly centered I think, so at my phone the background is already zoomed in, so its not very sharp. Also I haven't found a way to change the background because it doesn't work with the normal menu. I don't want to stick with the flame bg
4. The Maxmanila Links for Last call,, calender etc. don't make any sense in my opinion, I mean I still have the same links at the bottom, so how can I remove them or replace them by something more useful, like a birthday reminder or something like that?
I think thats it for the moment.
THX for any help!!
Hm...is MaxManila really for HTC HD2?? I mean I realized that they don't have the normal HD2 menu at the bottom? I want to keep that, but now it makes sense that they installed this 4 icons for calender under the clock.
So is Maxmanila really for HD2 or is Cookies Home tab the better choice? Is there a way to change the clock also with the cookies home tab?
THX for any responses!!
I've checked out the Buuf theme for iPhone lately and I find it very catchy. I'm sorry because I'm not an iPhone fan and I've only come to know of such theme lately. Can anyone here try to make a complete skin out of Buuf icons and buttons? As if overhauling the Sense UI and replacing all the buttons (ie Sense audio buttons, video buttons, camera etc), sliders (main slider, audio slider, messaging slider etc), clock even miscellaneous tabs (ie settings and everthing within). So... what do you think? *sorry... for being kinda nervous. This is my first request post in Themes and Apps for HD2*
I haven´t seen the Buuf theme for WinMo, but for Android...
However, did you check this great theme here? Not that it is the same, but it somehow seems to have that kind of "design"...

Yeah... I've checked it out. I love these cartoon-ish themes like Buuf and Fallout by StarView. I wish there are more like Super Mario, Zelda and stuff like that. Can anyone tell me which software you need to create a theme for Sense UI? Because I really want to learn to create a theme and pack it into a CAB and share it with everyone.

You can actually make your theme with any graphics software which can save in png format (mainly because of the transparency capability).
Once you´ve done your creative work, you can convert your pictures with m9editor, or CFC GUI, and then use cab maker software to create the installer (there are some free apps).
To make things easier for a start, to learn about manila file namings, resolutions etc., I suggest you take any cab of any theme you like, unpack it (with a program like MSCEInf - CAB Analyzer) and see through all the files with CFC GUI - with all this data, you can jump quickly into theme making.
PPC Geeks have the icons
Popdog54 posted all of Paul Davey's art on PPC Geeks (see link).
All of icons are there. I downloaded them and put them on my HTC HD2 storage card and then used an icon changer to change most of the icons.
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77485
the Buuf theme is indeed very catchy and would look really good on HD2.
ajt320 has already posted the link to the icons.
I also found Buuf-esque slider icons, made by 12aon. Check the post 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437405
The slider icons were made for TF3D, so they should be modified to use in Sense 2.5
and there is also Way Out There Transparent Slider here http://ppcmods.com/sliders.html
the style is quite similar to Buuf's
Cheers
I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!
Have you tried "Icon Pack - Minimum" ?
Yes. IIRC they were way too small.
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project

http://everaldo.com/crystal/?action=downloads
I've been through all of those. Here's my problem:
I want a set of dock icons, like you'd use in Launcher Pro. When I find a random pack online, it might have a phone, but no Gmail, Voice, or SMS icon.
If I could find icons like the Launcher Pro defaults, but a solid color (no shading/shadows), I'd be in heaven.
how about this?

have you had a look at these?
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/icons
they're just default and I know you're asking for something like it but solid... but this just gives you more options.
if u want the same icons just take a icons from one of the update.zip files

Have you tried Token?
Been browsing around here and following the skyraider and all of ID's threads and there was something I felt was missing from both the sense and vanilla roms. I spent a bunch of time on the regular android theming threads, and this is what I have created so far.
It's in no way a fully polished, and easily flashed or MM'd theme (i don't like the idea of using MM)
See the pictures below for what I've gotten to.
What it consists of:
LauncherPro Plus
Apps Organizer
SwitchPro
TAJM
BattStatt
Pure Calendar
Desktop Visualizer
MinimalText icons
LauncherPro icons (from their website)
Zegoe Font
Sweet Chicago skyline background
I used LauncherPro to get a more customizable screen layout and remove the notification bar. I also love that it lets me change the icons for the dock (and the swipe gestures are nice)
Apps Organizer condenses a lot of my used apps, and Apps Organizer lets you pick custom icons as well
I used to use extended controls and SMODA widget but i didnt like SMODA's colors, so i switched to SwitchPro because of its working 3g on/off (a must since I need my battery to last a full day while I'm on campus). You cant clearly make the buttons out on the bottom, but they are nearly invisible until i touch them and they become white. Might not be everyone's liking but I dont need to see them.
Pure Calendar was used since I rely on my calendar and gtasks, and it was transparent which is what I really wanted.
Here's where I could use some help
I would like to be able to change all app icons to grayscale without using MM. I realize this might mean replacing files within apks for programs which wont be entirely possible
I wish the text size for TAJM was customizable, its too small and I would like BattStatt and TAJM to better use the home screen real estate
Package this into something more people can use/ customize without having to download all of the apps seperately or even use the apps (flashable?)
Still need a new lock screen. I liked the rotary one but I dont think that will look as nice since it uses a gray transparent bg. If it could be fully transparent, just leaving the two buttons, and the music controls either be light gray for off and white for on, that would be awesome.
I'm open to ideas and criticisms, just spent a few hours this weekend trying to gather all I needed but if someone knows a better way I'd love to know.
If there is any interest in this, I could package up the icons and fonts (sorry can't do the apks since most are paid apps). Just need to collect the info for the creators so credit can be given.
