Are you going on every section and posting a thread with this title that asks questions that are vague and easily searchable?

Well i have different questions that should be in different parts of the forums, I dont understand while people insist on submitting that on the forum. If you wish not to help just move along.

I am helping you. I told you to use the search, which is going to help you a lot more than you think. Even browsing through these threads, I'm sure you see that a lot of these processes can be a bit extensive. And, especially when you ask vague questions like in the original post, no one can help because you're not saying anything specifically (WHICH launcher are you looking to change to? etc. etc.)
Get it? Gonna' use that search? Hope so.

I normally don't like this kind of answer but in this case i would have to agree with TJ, start from the beginning first, have the device rooted and flash your custom ROM then everything will come easier

These guys are just morons. In the time you guys wrote all that crap, you could have just answered his question or atleast guide him.
Even thought you can somewhat modify the appearance, and customize it to your linking, you will need to root your phone in order to modify certain elements.
For beginner I suggest you download a few apps that will allow you to do some minor tweeking. Here's a list of a few apps to start you off.
Launcher pro
Beautiful widgets
Pure calendar
Flickie
Switch pro
Here's a screen shot of my evo.

So we're morons because we didn't post a broad answer with suggestions of five different things like you? I think you should wisen up before you start slinging around insults that describe yourself more than anyone else.
There's an old saying that goes, "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for the night, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."
THAT'S the mentality that goes into showing people the usefulness of the search tool. Unless it's something profound or newly developed by that particular person, odds are it's been discussed and can be found with the search tool.
You above just gave him tips to different kinds of launchers, and suggested things like rooting his phone, but didn't post any kinds of links to tutorials or downloads for the apps themselves... are you expecting him to SEARCH for these things himself or what?... exactly.
Get the **** outta' here with that **** guy.

At least I didn't give the guy a smart answer. I gave him an actual answer to my best knowledge. Dickhead.

I didn't give him a smart answer, and I not only respected him, but gave reasoning as to why I gave the answer that I did... in fact, the only person to be dissrespectful and give an answer that doesn't truly help is... well... you. LMFAO. IN fact, I think I called you out pretty in depth, and your response was a childish sentence with a "name" inserted. Get real. But, I guess you were "answering me with the best of your knowledge", so I shouldn't expect anything more, eh?
Anyways, have fun with the "flaming". I'm a bit too busy actually theming and trying to have something to contribute to really care about the petty. ;-)

Would you guys be interested in an all-encompassing theming guide?

As I've eben working on my own theme, I've asked a lot of questions , and (obviously) learned a ton along the way. I've been keeping a log of a lot of it, but, I was wondering if you would all be interested in an "end-all, be-all" guide to theming from scratch? With things like important file locations, tutorials on .9 pngs, decompiling and editing xml, etc. etc.? Maybe I'd even PDF it and have screenshots and everything.
Just something I've thought of, but, it's REALLY not worth it if people aren't interested, bc it'd be time-consuming.

I would definitely be interested. I have been looking for something for awhile now. I have found bits and pieces haven't been able to put it all together and figure it out. I have an app I have been trying to theme to match the clock I am using and cannot get it right. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
This is what happens when I try to theme SwitchPro widget.

Yes, I don't have time to figure it out on my own like you did. So that would be pretty fly.

Hey dmoses, go ahead and attach that .9 png you did for the background of switchpro, and I'll fix it for you real quick.

uhm that would be awesome ive tried changing a bunch of things on my phone on to find out that maybe half ever work and not knowing why lol

I'd love to see this too. I was spoiled with theming for the Palm Pre & would love to get into theming for Android now.

I am always open to answering questions about theming. If I can anyway.
Personally, I learned a lot of my android business from SDX-Developers. There a bunch of us brainstormed and basically relearned android. We pulled a lot of info from XDA yes. And for that I am greatful. However, since so much had to be relearned, a lot of info is documented in the forum. And most devs are still active so getting a response to a question, or at least someone to bounce ideas off of, is pretty easy. Android across the board is very similar no matter what device.
I would first recommend google search being that there are a ton more forums beyond xda with information. SDX is where I usually go for more technical questions or discussion, but then again it is where all the Moment users went when XDA shunned us.
Documentation is key if you want to remain open source so the mods can be used or altered for future use.

+1 Great idea

Anyways...
Glad that people could use something like this. At some point I'll deifnitely start to work on it.

yeah, would defiantly appreciate something likes this. I spend so much time with 360's i hardly have time to mess with my phone and this would make it a much easier task.

gTab Fans Website

I'd like to introduce everyone to a new website that I have created.
http://gtabfans.com
I have tried to create a website that will encompass as much information about the gTablet as possible. On this website you will find information about the firmwares, an installation guide (more to come soon, this represents a lot of work so far!), the market fix and a wiki with some very topical information.
I was getting a little tired of sifting through ages of forum posts to find out if a specific application would work, so I have created the Application and Game pages on the wiki.
I don't intend for this to take away from the community at xda-developers, I really like the atmosphere that we have created here. As such, there is no forum at gTab Fans. I simply want a nicer way of indexing the data available to us.
I am also looking for help. If you are interested in helping write guides, let me know!

I like it! Maybe it will help with the repetitive questions... Thanks for doing this....

Nice easy to read site with easy to read new user info.
Nice job.

Nice! Looks really good count with me if you need help.

Right now I need help getting people to stop using the app/game thread and start using the wiki. If you want to help fill in some applications that you've tried, that'd be great.

Looks good! I suggest adding section for stock TNT, for those who don't want to go the modded route.
Jim

I added this section yesterday. Good suggestion.
I'm looking for more suggestions, I will be adding TnT Lite and CyanogenMod installation guides. These should be pretty much the same.

Great Site!!
Downloading Dungeon Defenders as we speak. I had no idea about the game till I saw it in the game section.

I registered and added some games and apps that I have used on my gtab. let me know if you need any help as I am a web designer.

Gtab fan site
Great idea
Very helpfull especially for newbies like me.
I have to apolagize I tried to add some games and I think I may have accidentally deleted some info.
I am obviously not a programmer but if there is anything i can help with let me know.
Wyngnut

No worries, that's what wiki history is for
I'll probably code a php or python script that lets users add a game and it just stores it somewhere in a database and then I can add them in batches.
This would give the users who feel comfortable editing the wiki directly that option and the form for people who aren't so comfortable.

Thanks
Yeah I went back and It was corrected so I added games and didn't screw anything up this time. I will keep updating it and checking it. I am curious to see if there are any more unreal engine games like Dungeon Defenders on the horizon.
Wyngnut

We now have a game/application form. Simply fill out the fields and I'll post it to the Wiki after I make sure no one was abusing it.

Thanks! Great site.

Man awesome site....It was just what I personally needed to decide on what firmware to switch too, I just got done flashing my g tab to tnt lite 2.2 then 3.1, but after seeing the write up on Vegan, I had to flash to it and man if anyone is deciding, IMHO Vegan is amazing....so much faster than tnt and has soft tab buttons for the home, back and options button so u no longer have to struggle or mod your tab find them again what a great website and idea. Really has the most common things that will help out newbs like myself, great job and keep up the good work, I would offer to help but being new I don't know how much help I would be, but if I can be any help email me at [email protected]

Thanks for all the positive comments!

Curious but what's wrong w/ the tegratab wiki? http://wiki.tegratab.com/index.php/Main_Page
Seems like you have all the same sections, accessories, roms, apps, etc wouldn't want people to call us 'fragmented' now would ya .

This wiki was created as more of a Games/Apps "database" than anything.. I agree, the tetratab wiki is quite good.

I like the idea of having a quick reference to what can and can't run on the Gtab. I've added a few games that I know work on Vegan B5.
Sorry if it's been asked but is there a way to register to the site. Be nice to avoid using Capatcha (sp?)

[APP] Devine "We Fail" Promo

This is a promo app that plays Devine's 1st single, "We Fail" , off their first album titled "14 Steps to Stone"
: : : DEVINE : : :
Devine is an American heavy metal / Hard Rock Band blending elements of Rock, Hard Core, Metal, and Hip-Hop. However, this band is unique for more than just their sound but also in their peculiar arrangement. The band not only remains spread out over the United States but for nearly a year, and after a completed recording no one in the band had ever been in the same room!
for more to the story go to www.devineband.com
watch the music video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ai33ZbWRIs
This is an awesome band I have been doing a lot of work with
This app was created in App Inventor because I have no idea what im doing but it does the job of letting people hear them and getting the word out lol
If anyone has a marketplace account and is willing to post this on the market for free then let me know!

Why would you bother to come on the Internet to post if your gonna hate?... {Edit: good to see the hateful post's deleted}
The basic principle of it is pretty great actually; I'd love to have a couple of my songs (per say) featured in a app that can be deleted, instead of having people download my song's & then have it get lost in their folders. They can delete it if they hate it with ease, or have a link in the app to your iTunes/Music page if they like it.

Everyone...
Just because a project here doesn't include you in the scope of people that it might be relevant to, that's no reason to come bashing those who created it or who are interested in it. If it's not for you, just move along....

oh god i'm embarrassed to have ever heard this

Can I just say that if you don't want feedback or opinions, constructive or otherwise, then a forum really isn't the place to be announcing your app.
I thought this forum was a place devs/users could gain feedback and discuss apps, if you aren't prepared to take the good with the bad then why post?

Because this is for people to offer constructive criticisms about the app, not needlessly hateful comments. Saying "this app sucks because i don't like the music" is not helpful in the slightest. We are supposed to be rating the app, not necessarily the music.
By the way, this is a brilliant idea for an app. I think NYGraFFit1 put it best

I was going to offer to throw it on the market for you, but I'm pretty sure you can't with AppInventor apps (I'm not sure, I'll look into it). I know you at least didn't used to be able to, but things may have changed.

Droid Devoted Search Engine

Hey everyone. I'm fairly new around here and I've much enjoyed the helpful information that has been generously dished out by everyone. So I'm trying to contribute some of what I can. And I'm looking for feedback on my idea.
I've created a custom search engine through Google, and I've been collecting a few of the Droid hacking websites I've come across in my learning about my own phone (A sturdy Droid X that should soon be spinning its first ROM). I've been using the search engine lately and it's done a pretty good job at rooted out information over various sources.
So what I'm looking for is feedback on the general idea, and if anyone knows of any good sites that I've left out of my blossoming database it would be much appreciated. I've included a linked Google Doc that lists all the sites currently in the database.
The engine is hosted on my wiki and is open to the world for use.
droid-search.wikispaces.com <That's my wiki.

Very cool, I dig it.

Thanks! it went so long without reply I thought maybe I had made something worthless
