UPDATE: Updated to show all white keys where needed
Alright, so I was bored and feeling productive… as you see that is a good thing! I have redone the original Droid X multi touch keyboard to a better black version with a special Droid Eye style voice level meter (that works so well!) This version only has been tested on the Droid X 2.2 Deodexed Rom so feel free to test it for your own device – I will go ahead and tell you how to load this on your device below….
below....
GRAB BOTH Files HERE with other MODS
*UPDATED METHOD*
1. Download Zip from website above....
2. Place on SD Card of device
3. Boot into recovery (clockwork recovery or other custom recovery)
4. Install Zip from SD Card
5. Locate "WJDKeyboardMod.zip.zip" and click install
6. Reboot and ENJOY
-If that didn't work try this!
*The working way I done it requires you to grab “root explorer” via the market - or any other methods *
Grab APK from site above....
1. Grab Apk and Throw it on your SD Card
2. Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system/apps/
3. Rename LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.bak (this will back it up in case of any problems so you can revert back to stock)
4. Navigate to your SD Card via Root Explorer
5. Long press “DroidX_Multi_WJD.apk” and click copy
6. Navigate back to /system/apps/ via Root Explorer
7. Rename “DroidX_Multi_WJD.apk” to “LatinIME.apk” then reboot or power cycle your device
8. When device loads open Root Explorer
9. Navigate to /system/apps/
10. Tap “LatinIME.apk and click install
11. Once installed go to your devices “settings” then to “Language & Keyboard
12. Check the box next to “Multi-touch Keyboard” and make sure that is the selected input method
13. Enjoy
*Some multi touch keyboards floating around are not done well - you will notice the "&" symbol on most are "&" instead and float of the key - this and many other incorrect coding - so I fixed it up in this one and made sure all the keys were correct woohoo*

awesome job on the keyboard, thanks! swype is my primary but i d/l this for use in terminal emulator etc.
btw, what theme are you using? it looks like a black version of vanilla android

That is pretty awesome! Can you skin one with more transparent keys?

This is very nice. Thanks for contribution.

Ok, I used terminal emulator to mount the system rw then I renamed LatinIME.apk to .bak, then copied the new LatinIME.apk into the system/app/ directory, rebooted, was unable to install from Astro (don't have root explorer, no money right now), it only gives me the option to uninstall. Help please.

Alright guys - updated new easier method - enjoy the KB - I can't currently customize the KB for anyone right now since this is actually part of a ROM I am currently in the works with but as you can see from my slight contributions, I am legit and wanted to get that out - since we all know I don't want to J$#% yah lol
Wanted to spread the love

installed, i am quite impressed. thanks for the contribution, i love it!

WJDDesigns Modified Keyboard

This maybe just the screen your on - try holding down the menu button while on homescreen - this will show trans on both landscape and portrait - some screens bring up a white bg to the keyboard so it isn't trans and I would have to edit those apps as well....

Ok, your right. I was testing in the browser, assumed if it worked anywhere it would be there, lol. Tested again in the notepad widget and it's all good.

Any chance of an identical (or as close as possible) theme for swype? Like a lot, swype is my primary keyboard.

2. Buy it or download the free version.
3. Open Folder Organizer.
4. Click the Apps tab.
5. Find the app whose icon you want to change. Click on it. A menu pops up.
6. Scroll to the right of the menu that pops up. One of the buttons is "icon."
7. Click the "icon" button.
8. Choose "gallery" or "icon pack" or whatever choice is appropriate.
9. Select the new icon.
10. Exit Folder Organizer.
1. Go to the home screen. Long press a blank spot to bring up the widget menu.
2. Choose "Widget."
3. Don't actually choose a widget. Instead, choose "Folder Organizer ITEM."
4. Click "Apps" when prompted.
5. Check the box for whether or not you want a caption below the icon.
6. Click the app that you changed the icon for earlier.
7. The app is added to the desktop.

No detox to detox will keep your time in the statusbar black....if you want to go back to a black taskbar with a white clock, then you need to reflash the ROM and not just a theme (with a black taskbar)
So you're good to go

How-To: Droid in Notification Drop Down Bar

So I've had a few people asking how I did this so I decided to make a little tutorial.
Credits:
RinTinTigger
Taypotts
This will NOT change the color of your status bar. This will only add a transparent background to the drop down bar and place the Droid on the bottom right corner.
***Make sure USB Debugging is checked under Settings>Application>Development***
Here's how it's done:
1. Download & install Stericson's NinjaMorph from the Market
2. Place your desired Droid image on your SDcard and rename it to status_bar_background.png (doesn't matter where you put it)
3. Launch NinjaMorph and click tap on New Project
4. Go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk (Files will get extracted and a backup is created automatically)
5. Go into /res/drawable-hdpi and find status_bar_background.png
6. Tap on the file and it will now ask you to find the image you want to replace it with
7. Find the file you placed on your SDcard and tap on it
8. You will get a warning asking if you're really sure you want to replace it (Tap Yes)
9. Tap on the blue arrow on the bottom right corner
10. Tap on Finish Project
11. Tap on framework-resapk (NinjaMorph will now package/create the apk)
12. You will get a warning asking if you're sure you want to overwrite the apk (Tap Yes)
13. You will now get a warning asking if you want to zipalign (I chose no)
14. Tap ok on the next warning
15. Choose if you want to delete the project
Your phone should now reboot automatically and you should have your new Droid on your drop down notification bar that looks like this.

So I'm trying to learn a little about themeing here (use to do BBs back in the day) and am taking baby steps I used this mod for a little while and decided to try to make it a lil more personal so I added my name. When pushed to my device it repeated the image over and over again as if to small... So I resized 480x770 and this is what I get, what am I doing wrong? It's supposed just like the original here just with Cadillac script beside it at the bottom...

Here is my first attempt at a theme for the Droid X. ProDX Red is collaboration with ArmaK28. Many of the theme elements are created from scratch. Some were taken from other themes and colored to match. This theme is still in beta form and will continue to be enhanced. I wanted to get this out so you guys can let me know what you think. If you don't like red don't even bother installing lol
Some themed elements are Music Player, Gallery, Facebook, Gtalk, Market and more to come. Please leave feedback and constructive criticism.
Special thanks to 928Droid and Fabulous for some themed elements. WJDesigns for the skinned multi Touch keyboard and bad4u6669 for the red swype tracer. If I forgot anyone I'm sorry, we have been working on this thing for a while. Let me know if I have used your work and not credited you. Big credit to ArmaK28 for theming several apps and coloring tons of pngs.
To install you must be rooted and have Clockwork recovery installed. Boot into CW and choose Install zip from sdcard. Choose zip from sdcard then navigate to the location you downloaded and select it. Choose yes and let it finish. When done reboot and you are good to go. I have not tested this theme on anything other than Tranquility 2.8 and above. Let me know if you have any issues.
I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your phone. Only attempt this if you are comfortable in modding your phone. Enjoy!
VERSION 1

Hey man was a huge fan of this series on my bb. The only thing I see wrong" functionally" is the drop down notification has white text when your downloading etc...im not sure if that xml is in the service.jar or if its in res/color. Anyway can't wait to see a themed dialer maybe using the same glossy images as the menu buttons. Good beta man thanks.
This theme rocks. I was sad to see Verizon wireless back on my drop down as I just changed it. Ill fix it up later. Great theme!

Not Working at all. I installed ROM Manger, backed up, Select Installed ROM from SD, Then rebooted My Droid X but then it just goes to the Motorola M and then boots back into the Device. Bypassing Clockwork all together.

Do you have bootstrapper installed? You need to install from you sd card after booting into recovery with bootstrapper. I had no issues doing it that way. Also what are you running right now?

I made a quick M boot replacement with the PRO DX RED Logo. I love this theme but have found two small issues. I dont have service when I boot up every other time. The other is the black bar up top is a tad big and cuts into other things. Feel free to use the m boot below.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=96PF6DVT
How to
1) Place your LogoReplacer.zip file on your SDCARD - Delete the name so it just states logoreplacer.zip
2) Restart your phone into recovery - Bootstrap
3) Install zip, choose zip
4) Navigate to your file
5) Press the camera button
6) Restart phone

What do you mean by the black bar at the top? The notification bar? Its the same size as all the other notification bars in every other theme.
I have no clue myself. I was used to anothr black bar so maybe that's it. Any idea on the no service issue im having? It is only done on every other reboot. Then when I boot again its fixed. I did put together a nice boot logo for your theme so hope that makes up for my silly question. Thank you

I decided I really missed having a car home app when connected to my car. I never found one I liked in the market, so I decided to see if I could get the Google one to work.
INSTRUCTIONS​
1. Download the latest Gingerbread GApps package from Goo.im (HERE)
2. Extract it to your SD Card.
3. Go to /system/app of the extracted zip and copy CarHomeGoogle.apk somewhere you will remember on your SD Card(I keep all of my mods/roms in a folder named "FLASH")
4. Copy CarHomeGoogle.apk to /system/app on the phone.
5. Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
6. Reboot & Set up to your liking.
NOTES​
Save the apk where you can find it. You will have to perform steps 4 - 6 every time you flash. This includes the setup.
I haven't tried restoring with Titanium Backup, that may work as well. <-- If you backup/restore with Titanium Backup, all your settings are saved and you don't have to reboot.
Selecting the notification to exit car mode doesn't work, you have to use the button in the app.
Confirmed working on CyanogenMod 10 Official Nightlies & ParanoidAndroid 2.52
This should work on any rom. Let me know if it does/doesn't and I'll update the OP.

It's a launcher for using in your car. You can set it up to launch automatically when connected to certain bluetooth devices (like your car stereo).
It has 4 screens with 6 buttons on each screen. All of the buttons are programmable to launch apps or direct dial your contacts.
All of the icons are colorized to a single color for easy visibility. You pick the color in settings (Default is white).
I should also note that using the notification to exit car mode doesn't work, you have to hit the button in the launcher to exit.
You should just upload the apk to make it easier for people . I was a huge fan of Google car home but my love for it has. been replaced with car home ultra

Does the CM10 dialer still lack a horizontal mode? That's what annoyed me about car home on CM - car home is a great horizontal app, but whenever someone calls the sideways CM dialer popped up.

I normally have mine mounted in portrait orientation, but I just checked for you.
EDIT: I just checked the in-call screen - it forces to portrait with the phone in landscape.
Interesting... I was looking for a Google or Samsung dock app when I first got my S3, but I never found one.... I finally stopped looking when I found CarHome Ultra.
Nice guide though!

+1. Car Home Ultra. Same as car home but on Steroids. Works great with I-Bolt dock. :laugh:
Thanks for the guide. I've also been using Car Home Ultra since getting my SIII, but it's got a lot of features I don't use, and have missed the streamlined simplicity of the Google Car Home app.

If on root explorer click the RW button at top of app. Don't know what the procedure is on other apps but they all have RW option.
As one of the guys said, you could have posted the apk itself, and save people some time.
But, thanks (I also hit the THANK you button..)
Working like a charm
Very useful... I'm still tweaked at the fact that they don't just keep supporting this app on newer roms. It was a great feature and really made it enjoyable when using my phone in my car
Car Home Ultra, all the way. I don't even look at my car's speedometer anymore.

Save the apk where you can find it. You will have to perform steps 4 - 6 every time you flash. This includes the setup.
I haven't tried restoring with Titanium Backup, that may work as well. <-- If you backup/restore with Titanium Backup, all your settings are saved and you don't have to reboot..

You could also make a flashable zip for this to flash right after you flash a rom, or even just copy the apk into /system/app of the actual ROM zip you're flashing.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I don't need all the junk found in those other apps. I just want the screen to darken and have 3-4 apps at my fingertips while driving and this fits the bill perfectly.

Floating Soft Keys is a simple app to avail you soft key functionality even in exanded desktop mode or if you don't want to wear out your hard buttons.
Floating Soft Keys makes use of Mark Wei's brilliant StandOut Library so if you like this app, please go and thank him in his thread if you haven't already.
FSK requires root to emulate input key events.
FSK is still in its initial phases so it might give some errors or cause some crashes. Please report to me and give logcat if possible. Also tell me your Android version. This will help make the app better.
MAKING THEMES FOR FSK v1.2+​For FSK v1.2+, custom icon support has been added. To make your own custom icon theme, simply do the following:
1. Make 4 PNG images for the 4 buttons having square dimensions (default is 130x130)
2. The PNGs should be named as follows (without the quotes):
"back.png" (for back key)
"home.png" (for home key)
"menu.png" (for menu key)
"drag.png" (for the dragging button)​NOTE: Names are case sensitive.
2. Put all these PNGs in one folder. Give the theme name to the folder (e.g. "Holo Keys" or "Black Keys" or "Alicia Keys")
3. Put this folder in the Floating Soft Keys folder found in your SD card (it will appear automatically after running the v1.2 app at least once)
Themes thus created can be used in the v1.2 app by selecting "Use custom icon". You will be prompted to select the icon.
If you would like to share your themes, post em in the thread or PM me. Due credit will be given.
As an example, attached below is a theme called "Bluish tint". You can download it, unzip it and place the "Bluish tint" folder (which is present inside the zip) in your Floating Soft Keys folder on your sdcard. Then you can use it as a theme by selecting "Use Custom Icons" in the app.
USER-CREATED THEMES​Here I will post links to various themes created by you folks.
Shadowed White Navigation Keys by churapa
Grey icons by proctologist
Theme thread by Gil81
As of version 1.4.0, new icons were made default to suit the Holo theme. But if you liked the old icons better, you can still download em from this thread. The zip file has been attached.
Check the app out on the Play Store or check its code out on GitHub
Beautiful idea congratulations

For Android 4.1+, long-pressing the Menu icon opens up the recent apps. I am not sure about Android 4.0. But in 2.3 or below, it does not work.

Volume keys I probably can add, but I think power key is not allowed in Android for security concerns. I will check and let you know.
Can you please specify what caused the crash?? Also, which version of the app were you on?? Version 1.1.1 had a known bug that caused FC on older Android versions. That has been fixed in the latest version.

The force close is because long pressing home activates Google Now, which is not there in Gingerbread. Option to customize home long press action has been added in the new update (v1.3) which will be available on Play Store in an hour or so.
very useful. Thanks!
Usefull app...thankyou
installed on my gnex toro running pa 356
just installed and giving it a good run.thanks for the app,great idea adds some versatility to your device.
Simply perfect!
Runs without issues on Omega ROM v23 on my Galaxy S2 I9100!!
Thanks and good work!
Thanks OP this is just what I've been looking for to have a fullscreen experience on my phone and tablet. Is it possible in future to have to option to add custom buttons with custom actions? That would be awesome. Thanks
Well idea is good... since its in initial state of development lacks many basic feature... the response between touch and action is high.. around 1sec
Well dre are few suggestion but the main from my side is that the drag button could also act as expand button, i mean click on drag should expand or shrink the navibar...
Well i confirm Working great with
Samsung galaxy S2 I9100
Slimbean 4.2.2. Build 7
Dorimanx 9.34
Great job mate...!!! :good:
Didn't find any major bugs apart from some layout issues...
lovely app...
here's my wish list for next releases:
- option to hide cross icon (just make invisible)
- customizable press and long press options for all softkeys
- align keys in vertical position, i'd be great to use with one hand having keys on side of screen
- didn't try to import icons from famous navbar icons thread, i'd like to be able to import from there
Just what I've been after for my XOOM, great work :victory:
UUUUU looks nice
I am probably being stupid here but how do you enable these? Trying to use them on my Motorola Atrix which has a partially working screen but I can't use the Menu hardware button, this would solve the problem!
Anyway to start and stop this app using tasker?
