I came over to the Android world from the Touch Pro 2 like I'm sure many here did. I spent a lot of time on PPCgeeks.com and have contributed a lot on that site in the way of the TP2.
Now with the Incredible, XDA has became my favorite site for phone and I hope to contribute to the Android world from here.
One of my favorite themes was the Dusk Theme by xda user grzegorz10. He does some beautiful work and in my opinion it is second to none.
I am working on a few things for the Android world that will possibly bring some of this to the Incredible.
Here is a start, it's not perfect yet but I am pretty happy with the way it is coming along...
I give you the Dusk Clock!

And the widget preview image when adding it to your home screens.
I don't know how far I will take this, probably just a piece at a time. I don't really have the time to do a complete ROM, that and the fact that learning where all of the different files are is a whole new ball game compared to Window Mobile operating system.
As for right now the phone has to be rooted and you have to push the files using adb. In the future there will probably be a better way of doing this but for now that's about it.
If anyone is interested in this, when I get it completed I will post the apk and instructions for getting it on your phone.
gadget!
Wow...bringing me back! Greg made a sick Dusk theme, nice to see this on Sense and not Manila
Nice job.
Whoa.
Dude it is badass.. when can I get this..
Looks great. Takes me back to the days of Manilla

I'm kinda curious to see how a Google TV-like theme would look on CM6.1 -- I think it'd look awesome and Gingerbread probably has some similarities so it'd be a good theme to hold some of us over 'till CM gets to it. I'm pretty good at the graphic design thing but am always loaded with work so I usually start something on my free time and never finish...
Anyway, what I'm thinking is that I could make all the graphics files, I'd then pass it on to some one who can adjust the XML (pretty much only changing black text to white). I've done some detailed XML (spacing, color, etc) stuff before but it'd just give me a headache to go back into (trying to fix Sense's complete and utter fail at design does that to you...). I want to finish this over the weekend so it'd have to be someone who has experience and knowledge of a lot of the XML values (menus, pop ups, status bar, etc). If anyone is able and interested, just leave a reply.
The theme itself should be pretty easy to make, it'd look stock but dark w/ blue glow-ish highlights. For examples:

Some examples of my Android-y work to judge if its worth helping me:
Complete radio app remake. Will probably release soon.
Swype, part of a Sense face lift theme I was making before I moved to CM.
Just the dock and icons.
There is already an alternate themed skype found in tmobile's mytouch4g using a variant of htc sense. Although nice work there : )
Hey guys...
I'm well versed in Photoshop and have worked on themes/skins for so many other things. Since I own an X10, I figured it might be time to start dipping my toes in the water.
That being said, I seem to have lost the link I had with explicit instructions for changing the framework file. If someone would be willing to point me in the right direction, I can get started converting my mockup into an actual theme to be used. Thanks to _calum_ for consolidating the information!
Here's a sneak peek

Looking good, don't forget change horrible icons made by SE! Courage!
Just a quick update...
Thanks to the wonderful guides around this forum, I have successfully changed the notification bar background, most of the icons in the notification bar (except the battery and signal icons). Everything seems to be going smoothly
Updated
Looking cool....waiting for the alpha release....
Fancy posting that link in here guys? I've been all over looking for that post :-(

Has this project died out?
k so i been on google all night and searching and youtubing but yet have i found my answer....im getting my new hd7 tomorrow and switching from a moto droid and on my droid i have launcher7 which is a homescreen replacement for android....and on that launcher i can have ties and my own background....i can set the transperancy levels to were i can see most of my background...now what i want to know is this possible on an actuall wp7 running device and if not is there a way of getting it?
hi
it is not possible just yet, but there are people working on this project and it is just a matter of time when this too will be available.
i really hope so this is really the only thing thats keeping me from keeping this phone...i thought u could change the background an all but guess not....was thinking of just gettting an hd2
It is still worth getting. I have an HD7 & a lot has been accomplished. We've managed to be able to change quite a few icons. See attached screenshot of my device.

well to b honest drkfngthdragnlrd i read your post on how you almost got a custom bg on your start screen and thats the main reason im really considering just keeping the device once it comes in tomorrow....i just hate plain main screens and simple u.i
I totally agree, but I will say, screenshot do nothing for the beauty of the UI in motion & the animations. While it may be simple looking, the 3d effects of the animations look nice. I will continue to try to find a way to add a background among other things. I believe that won't happen though till we can edit the dll's/exe's.
just to show what im talking about this is my current home screen on my motorola droid running a home replacement program called launcherpro 7
Animated Sticky Notes on Live Wallpaper.
Want to note? Put your sticky note on live wallpaper, and in every moment, you can see it. No chance to forget something, if you write it on the live wallpaper. Sticky note is moving on your screen, for better chance to see it. It is not a widget, it's Live Wallpaper! Animated Android and girl themes.
You can chose between two themes, Android and Summer theme. On your animated wallpaper, you can put five notes. It works in your background, and it's not like other applications, without any click, you will always be able to see your sticky notes.
Supported screen resolutions: 480x800, 320x480 and 240x320.
***More themes soon.

Wow, many thanks...
Look nice but when I went to Market it says..
This app is incompatible with your HTC HD2.

you probably want to change your phone model in build.prop and reboot twice and try again...
but then again there could be easier ways to fix it i dunno
Awesome App. I have been looking for something like this for ages.
Many Thanks.
Added new classic theme with rotating paper.

Great idea. Good work man!
Sweet! very nice
Hello. First, let me talk about my obcessin for this wonderfull piece of magic called Honeycomb Launcher..
IMO it was the coolest launcher ever made by google, with that 'APPS' and ' + ' button at top, dizzy :silly: animations to change wallpaper and enter in the app-drawer.
So I started a project, to port it for our Notes ^---^
I grabbed a 'launcher2.apk' from my xoom 3.2.1 honeycomb stock room and decompiled it without dependencies.
I'm having a hard timing figuring how to port it, just because I know nothing about this. But every help will be apreciated.
When i arrive at home I'll provide some screenshots and files that I'm using. :highfive:
'Launcher2.apk' itself from my old rom will not install itself. If you force it on sys folder on note, you'll see that it is listed as a Launcher in Home chooser, but when you try to open it, it'll force close in your face.
Every little piece of help will be apreciated, and if someone, by a miracle, wants to do the job, it'll be blessed by my 'thanks' in every single action in their life.
So, albeit I'm in my job, I'll post some screenshots of HC launcher from stock rom. It looks like this, and this, and this :good:
