This is now made in photshop. The plan is making 5 or 7 homepages based on Home, Applications, Games, Music, Weather etc etc with on each left side a screenshot which I will paste in a x10 png photo exactly.
Questions:
How can I put the shortcuts on my screen without a title underneath it, so just a clean text.png file which will be the shortcut?
Which Launcher can you hide the bottom dock (and notification bar) totally? Or do I have to wait making this till we have 2.1 and use Launcher Pro?
Which application do I need to put the Home.png X10.png and the verticalbar.png files as pictures only without frames around it or anything? Especially the vertical bar will give problems I assume...
Hopefully somebody knows the answers and I can work with it. When it's done, I will share everything here of course...It needs quite a few hours of photoshopping and making everything the right size, but the plan is already in my head, which is half of the job...
Cheers,
Arnold
ADW launcher You can hide the icon labels, app drawer (bottom dock) and the status bar (notification bar). You hide the app drawer by holding your finger on it and when arrows show up just pull it. The icon labels can be turned off in the ADW settings.
EDIT: As for your question about the big icons..that can be done through ADW aswell but only if you compile it as a theme or using another application like BetterCut (not free if i remember correctly).
The vertical bar...i suggest you put it on the background itself because the only other way would be to make it into a gadget but in that case you would have a lot of trouble with aligning it like that (even with the overlapping function from ADW). All of the mentioned can be done but will require patience and in some cases XML editing to gain the desired effect.
EDIT(2): I'm not sure if BetterCut crops the icons or allows for big icons...someone else will have to answer that.
Hope i helped
owh.. nice work and hope u success PollPixx.. Hope it will be nice as the same you created the WP7 for WAD in windows mobile. Its really a nice work.
all of your enquiry can be used in adw launcher (donut). it really a nice launcher.
1. u can hide the label
2. status bar can be hide except for the dockbar i dont know about this one as this is a must as u need it to launch the apps
3. for the pic widget this one i still dont have it but you can try bettercut as u can paste any shorcut and even internet history
p.s. Sorry if i give wrong info. still new in android world
I have adw already, did not know you can hide labels. I will start working on it and see if better cut
Does the job as I wanted...thanks for info....

ADW Settings -> Screen preferences -> Hide StatusBar
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Hide icon labels
Thanks I found it.
With better cut the icons will be small. I need some picture programm to add the bigger x10 picture on my screen. It does have to be a shortcut as well. Bettercut crops my icons, Anyone?

I think if you add icons through ADW (Hold on the screen and Add->Custom shortcut) it should give you an option to adda full icon or crop an image..
But i never tested this so i'm not sure.

It is working indeed: I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT BLACK STRIPE IS ABOVE DIALER, IT IS NOT ON MY SCREEN....must be something wrong with the screenshot
have to fine tune the bar so it will be in the middle, the x10 picture is not as sharp as the original so have to define the exact resolution to get it sharper and find a digital clock which is smaller than d-clock widget, than make the other 5 pages.
Sent from my rooted x10i using tapatalk. Cheers, Arnold
have you tried digital clock by maize? I know that's smaller than our stock digi clock and has more customizing options.
I use now our stock clock but 1x1, fits perfect.
For some reason my phone is rebooting every hour all of the sudden.
When it finally starts up all widgets which i added disappeared and I have an empty homescreen. Never happened before till today...
Very annoying!
If i touch on the spots where the widgets were, it vibrates and I can swype them to the dustbin. But when i just tap on the place where the widgets should been, nothing happens! It is driving me nuts, what is wrong with the phone all of the sudden???
What I am doing now has nothing to do with root or playing in the settings, I just add homemade icons as shortcuts. I just finished HOME and APPS and now I can start all over again for the second time!! Damn.....Does anyone know or experienced the phone reboots all the time? If yes,what is the solution??
well, i give up, I reset the phone in factory settings and started all over again, just installing adw en desktop visualizer first.
When I add more than 2 pages of widgets the phone reboots all the time, it must be desktop visualizer, further on my phone is empty now. I come this far and than it crashes all the time, spend 6 hours and result is a complete empty phone
very frustrating, all my games and settings and programs are gone with no result on this theme....
EDIT: WHEN I PUT MY TELEPHONE ON THE COMPUTER, IT WORKS, SO SOMETHING IS WRONG ON MY SD CARD....
HOW CAN I FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH IT AND HOW DO I EMPTY AND CLEAN IT COMPLETELY?
Edit 2: The icons will not load after reboot...damn....i am really lost now...
Edit 3: reboot again and now it says, "no sim", i think i ruined my phone somehow....HELP!!!!
try flashing with SEUS or pc companion, that should totally repair your phone.
regards DauL
Thanks..... i know, but how do you do that, without sim my computer doesn't recoginze my phone in pc compagnion. This is sooooooooo frustrating, something must be wrong on my sd card, if it's working and I say IF, first thing i do is formatting my sd card (first copy the files to the computer). When I do that, which files on SD card I have to keep on it to avoid my phone bricks again ???

Just format the card and put it back in, the phone, I would imagine will just rewrite the essential files, I think. I've done it before and it worked ok.
thanks, I go now to a repair centre which is luckily in my town I called them, know someone who works there and he says he can reset my phone.
I will delete all files from my sd card and put music/video/pictures back on and put it in my phone than to see what happens, thanks for the quick reply, hopefully it will work out.
Maybe using shootme with the 1 click root system ruined it, i installed that recently or Desktop Visualizer, that's the other new thing on my phone. Since than the problems started...
I am guessing it was shootme, as Desktop Visualizer works for everyone if you read all the comments about it....
Still frustrated by the way

Try without that and see what happens, it may well work for others, but if the majority of them are using solid built themes, and your just in the process of making/testing one, it could just be a compatibility issue that you've not yet pinpointed.
flashing right now, thanks, i will post the progress today....just in case other unlucky members have the same problem
Flashing seems to be okay, I lost of course everything i installed, but it starts up again.
Next move, only install ADW and Desktop Visualizer in 2 hours, first i don't want to have a reboot for 2 hours to be sure...
If it goes wrong again, I know where the problem was......
flashed it and everything is working again. Even my new project goes well after reboot...i thaught....but after 2 pages again it is restarting every minute and i have to flash again. so it is proven for me Desktop Visualizer will not work on our phones when you want to add several pages full of widgets....
Is there any other tool than desktop visualizer which get the job done?
Or a home programm like ADW which you can set a different wallpaper for each page! That would do the trick to, than I make everything in photoshop and add with bettercut blank .png files for the shortcut on the right places....
Cheers,
Arnold

Since I have a giant clock widget on my home screen I feel this is pretty redundant. A quick google search yielded this result:
http://www.market4android.com/remove-the-clock-from-task-bar.php
But, that's for the Hero. Any ideas on if we can do something similar with the EVO?
hahaha, same here. it's retarded when i click on the show your home screen thread and see the huge sense like time along with the smaller taskbar time. or people have the battery widget showing the same thing as the taskbar battery. having the widget repeating the same information as the taskbar is redundant. it would be nice to disable it in the taskbar so i can put up some widgets.
Im really wanting to get rid of my stock battery icon as well. I had it on the hero, since Im using a battery widget that shows the percentage up there anyway.
I have the time removed on my moment but i doubt the same update zip will work on the evo.
itd be great if we could...

Obviously some way to shift the icons over or put something else there would be ideal, but even just removing the time and having a blank space would be fine with me. I just think it's dumb to have the time shown twice right next to each other. Thansk for checking.
I agree. The only time it's handy is when you're in an app and you want to check the time real quick by hitting menu and dropping down the notification bar. I wonder if I'd miss that once it's gone.
When I get home I'll try to achieve it if no one else has, wish I knew how to remove that empty space tho >.
You can get rid of the notification bar altogether with ADW Launcher. Don't know if that will help you guys.

I found this on the AppBrain:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.h9kdroid.multicon
MultIcon it's called.
Very cool concept where you can place four icons in the space of one widget. Each is completely functional. pretty much to me meant a cleaner interface and 4x as many icons/widgets to place in 1/4 the space.
Just figured I'd put it out there for anyone else who might be interested.

Nice, I'll have to try this out.
nice, thanks for the tip.
There is no icon for 4G or GPS. I hope they fix this soon.
I've used this before, sometimes I ask this myself if it would be using just a teensy bit of the battery because its a widget? Sorry if it sounds like a noob question, but that's something I want to know.
More Icons Widget has been out for a very long time and does the same thing, its a great little app. Haven't tried this one out though. Hopefully its as good.
Great app. Been using it since it came out and did 4 icons only. Now you can do 3x4 (12 icons) in a 1x1 space. Only thing I would like added is a way to save your configuration. Pain to setup all my icons again after a wipe and new rom.

If you use TI Backup to backup your programs including MultiICon, it will restore fine on any new ROM. I just did it.
I've been pairing this one with QuickDesk.
Now I double tap the Home button, a drawer slides out, and every txt and voice number I call on a regular basis are all in one spot. Something like 25+ icons all in one place, without cluttering my home screens. Saves a ton of time instead of digging through the phone book over and over.
Yep, it's a fantastic app, keep spreading the word!
Similar app!
I had an app widget that would go across the hole screen and it would fit a lot of apps but i forget what it was called. Maybe it's this app in fact.. not sure until i try this out

Was it Launch-X? With Launch-X, you can squeeze 2 rows of icons @ 7 icons per row where normally you have 4 icons wide. You can backup all your different rows too.
Launch-X Pro - free version available too
I use a combination of Launch-X Pro and MultIcon.
looks similar and better maybe the one i use to have was an older version thank you for the info im downloading it now!
Has anyone stumbled across a similar app that does the same thing only horizontally? This works great for my home screen (1 HTC flip clock + 12 icons) but would like to be able to do 5 across on other screens. The 4x(any number) is generally either too big, too small, or oddly spaced...

Can you elaborate? Whenever I restore from Titanium, my homescreen shows dead icons in place of all my multicons & I have to delete these placeholders & create new multicon widgets. When I create a new MI widget, it randomly restores some of my previously configured widgets but never all of them. Sometimes it will restore a very old widget that I haven't used in some time. Either way, I have no control over it & always have to reconfigure some from scratch.
Been using this forever man, I love it! I usually use 3 rows by 2 columns. I like ease and accesibility, and this widget app puts so much more at my fingertips.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates the iphoney icons...I tried a couple things, but even using bettercut, the launcher still boxes in the icons, which is a pain for apps with long titles.
I'm in bed now(wife's orders), so I'm going to look in the morning, but has anyone else tried looking?
I posted a MOD in this forum that is the stock Android 2.2 Launcher. It works great in my opinion.
ADW Launcher , on another note, I think the bubble around the icons are built into the code for the app. I don't know how HTC did it so it's very likely that I'm wrong.

luncher 2? and we should be able to get that to stick now

Either ADW or LP will let you set the buttons to the left and right of the app drawer button to whatever you want. Just set one of them to the "Faves" app and the other to "Phone" and you'll have the same functionality again.
I personally don't mind the boxes around the icons as much but I hate the espresso rectangular launcher, it's so plain and ugly. I want the traditional launcher and no myfaves crap.
I dont mind the icons, but I had that the lower right key is for Favs. I dont use Favs. If I could change that I would be golden. I use and love all the Sense widgets so I dont want an alternative launcher.
I have to get a few things done for work, but as soon as I finish I'm going to pull the launcher (rosie.apk?) and poke around. It's not just a graphic file because it cuts off text if it's too long. This is probably going to take a while, but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.
I paid for launcher pro because I used it on my nexus and g2, but the htc widgets are very well made, and I'd like to use them. It's just painful looking at these icons.

Yes and no, in the stock launcher, icon text wraps to the next line. In rosie, this is not true. It just gets cut off. You can make the png transparent, but there's a very good chance it's going to get cut off still. I found some xml files in rosie.apk but didn't have enough time to look at them. I'll explore a little more once my kids go to bed.

Hi All,
I've been trying to figure out how to theme by taking a theme apart and then comparing stuff to my phone. I got "most" of the Revolution Theme working properly on my Mez. It was taken from the Fascinate Theme Thread...
The only thing that I've found that has a force close is trying to go into sound settings...
Anyone know where that file is in the theme pack that I need to change?
I've attached a screen shot for your review of what it looks like.
OK, I got it working. I had to pull out my Settings.apk, make the changes to it and then put it back into the package. Seems to be working well now.
The only thing that hasn't changed that I want to change is the lock screen. Anyone know what files specifically need to be modded to change that?
Anyone interested in trying it out? Remember to do a backup before giving this a try!
I'm running SuperClean .2 with a voodoo kernel as a reference point
Put it on the root of your SDcard and then boot into clockwork and choose install Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip.

I'll be looking at it too, as this goes along with what I'm doing while I'm on vacation anyway. I am not 100% sure, but I think the lock screen and a few other things that you are going to want, are going to be in the framework.res.
Another note, this uses aosp mms.apk which has a problem still with sending and receiving picture messages.
I got it installed. (Sorry it took so long, I didn't realize I was at 3% battery when I posted)
Installed with no issues, however I'm getting a big difference in the battery meter. My widget says 65%, the rpm battery gauge says 80%.
Also, it reinstalled Mail, which I had taken off in the Pick-n-Pack. Was that in the zip?
Yes, mail was included as one if the customized apps. Hmmm, you didn't want mail? Not sure how to remove that. Do you liked it? I live the font and different icon scheme.
The mms its a problem but I was going that once it got fixed that I'd be able to update it.

Just as a thought, you might want to change the name slightly. The DJ05 part of the name has to do with the release version. The Mesmerize is currently on DI14. Nothing critical right now, just confusing if and when we start getting updates and things need to be changed for themes to work with different ROMs.
Great work, btw. Glad to see others are working on stuff for the Mesmerize.
Good point. I'll make the change to the file name.
Thanks!
So, in order to install this all I need to do is flash it in clockworkmod recovery after booting in recovery mode? I almost have this flashing down, but haven't tried a theme yet...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes, make a backup using Clockwork or Rom Manager first, then boot into Clockwork recovery. Scroll to Install from zip. Select "Choose zip" then navigate to it on your SD card. Select it and it will install. Let me know how you like it.
I will for sure, thanks man.

Dude this is awesome! I love the notification bar (transparency, GPS/wifi/etc icons, black, signal & battle icons), and the font, and the way the texting looks (even though I only use Google voice) and the search bar, and stars and checkmarks, and loading icon.
A couple issues I have with it though:
+When you hit the menu button, its impossible to read the black text on the black background the text should be white or grey I think
+ the battery meter isn't very accurate (according to "battery status"). I would love if the battery could be more accurate, because the app I have right now has almost the same icon for telling how full the batt is (only yours looks way cooler, and its on the other side of the notif bar, which I like)
+Then the last thing is this font, which I think there's something I can do to fix. I like the font on my keyboard and in menus and stuff, but I don't really want it on every webpage and text. I use dolphin browser, you know what I could do?
Last thing, is it possible to make Google voice look like the normal texting app, or different in any way? I'm not a huge fan if the way it is now.
Overall I really like it, and I'm keeping it : ) thanks!

Trying this out on my Super Clean .3 rom with voodoo kernel.
Can confirm that this works and is sexy; I agree with the three gripes above though. Can't read the menu buttons, battery isn't perfect, and the font is a bit annoying. If possible the status bar might look a little better with a slight gradient, though that might just be the wallpaper or whatever. Overall, this is a good theme.
-herpderp-
A couple more spots I've noticed the font is a hard color...
-android keyboard, white squares appear above the letters you press with no letters in them.
-on notification bar, most apps have white text and is a bit difficult to read on grey background.
-theres another one that I forgot where now....

Great app i like this interface a lot especially after last update
this is my suggestions for improvements so far...
-I would like to see the option to hide applications in the "appdrawer"
- Needs folders ( in the squares, it would look nice if the folder looked like the home screen so that you push the folder square and get to an page whith more squares). sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what i mean...
- would be nice to be able to resize and rearrange the squares
- also more custom icons
later on I would like to see an lockscreen in the same theme and perhaps the ability to place widgets in the squares but thats not important at the moment
but as i said in the beginning , great app i will follow this closely
Verry nice, great work!

Agreed, being able to use this interface with the millions of Android WM7 icons out there would be brilliant. Give us the option for 3x1 etc panels and an image chooser and you are on to a winner.
Screenshots? Details? ETC...

cool i like it, quite fluent as well
edit/ destroys the battery, 10% usage after being installed 20 minutes on a battery unplugged for an hour wtf?
uninstalled.
The app is awesome... icons in the squares are a bit small. Havent had any problems with battery life on my samsung fascinate.
Would like to see the actual wp7 animations though. The cubed music app uses it in the" boring" layout, so it can be done.
Want to say thanks and keep up the good work. Sms tile updated with go sms, so that's pretty cool.
Well done sir.

Really nice app. Quite smooth, although on some moments it is choppy, but hope it gets fixed in final version. Even when it is in beta it is the best Metro like Launcher.
Def considering buying the full/final version. Also think about Metro like lockscreen.
This is very good!
Miss custom images and colors, and a sort option. And how about transparancy? Also if I use the back button, it exits the app..
But a very good start!

No problem with battery drain here, been using it for a day with no significant drain on the battery compared to other launchers.

I can confirm this too. If are installed more than one Launcher, with the back button it opens an other Launcher.
Metro-UI taskbar needs other icons e.g. BT, GPS, etc then only battery and singnal.
Great app. I was wondering if any possible way to get counts for tweeter and regular email? That would be awesome, otherwise very smooth on my phone.
Hey its the nicest metro ui till date, and the best part is its so light. And its super fast on my desire.
Well done sir, hope to see more customization soon, and it is currently my UI choice.
Thankyou
just thought of a suggestion. Could you give the option in the metro ui settings to turn off the highlight when you press a tile?
tiles dont show up on my mt3g
On my Droid X after I installed nothing shows up. I get the top area with battery, 36, signal, clock, and arrow but no tiles or anything, just black below that.
Any help?

You need to add tiles. You can do that by opening the app drawer and long pressing the apps you want.
FYI - You can later remove those apps by long pressing them in the app drawer again.
