Three wishes requests form a non-rooted person ...

I hope these are possible.
#1 a simple flip clock w/out weather (like the digital, don't need two weathers )
#2 SIMPLE theme application (icon replacement to do with a wallpaper?)
#3 HTC_IME
Ghods I LOVE THIS THING!

From other's comments, the HTC IME doesn't work well with this resolution. Ends up being all pixelated.

will have to wait for one for the Droid or a Nexus/HTC one I guess.

For #1, Home++ works fine - and has flip clock and flip date included in it, as well as an animated clock....but it does completely change your launcher/home apk.
It's one of the best (and my personal favorite), it doesn't know what to do with live wallpapers at all....

Yeah, I kinda like the existing launcher.. was just hoping for a simple Flip Clock widget... and Home++ is neat, yes, but I'm still hoping for a simple theme program.. here's a folder full of Icons and a wall paper.. make it happen... simple stuff.

His point is HTC and MOTOROLA are competitiors - so don't hold your breath for them devices to share IMEs.</captainObvious>

I'm saying that he may be referring to the IME of the HTC "Droid" Eris, which is really just the hero. However, that's probably the same as the Hero's anyway.

The Eris has a normal 480x320 screen, not the larger Droid/N1-size screens, which is the issue with the HTC_IME - resolution.

For the flip clock, try <tone=ironic>"Flip Clock" </tone>from the Market. It's by the same developer as Home++, but it's a standalone app, and a widget for the default launcher (home screen). And yes, it's animated--you can watch it flip.
For a theming app, get MetaMorph and AndExplorer. You have to download metamorph themes from the Android themes section of XDA (they're not on the Market) and unzip them to the proper folder on your sdcard, which is a bit of a a hassle, but it's amazing. If you want super, super simple, only theme the icons and wallpaper, then you want a home replacement, like Better Home. But I recommend you please, please try MetaMorph. It takes a bit of effort, but it's very simple to use once you've taken the time to unzip the file to the proper folder.
As for HTC_IME, nope. Best you can do use use Cyanogen's one, which is pixellated and doesn't look right in landscape. But until HTC releases a Sense-based device with a high-res screen, that's the best you're gonna get. (I'd love to see them release the HTC Passion with an Espresso interface... mmmmm.....)

EDIT-...someone already said what I said...had this open from earlier and didn't refresh.

Dosen't Metamorph require root tho? (remember, non-rooted here).. but I'll take a look at it.

Yep, I totally forgot you said non-root. Well, without root, you can't theme. Some apps are theme-able, but nothing outside of those apps. If you just want icons and a wallpaper, you need a home replacement that has themes. Better Home, dxTop, aHome, GDE, FreshFace... All have many themes, and I have used them all. I have finally decided which home is the best: the default. But if you really want themes, go for it.
But seriously... you should just root already.

Same here, I did like PandaHome on my G1, but I won't use OpenHome again if you paid me.. Panda was/is doing a great job on supporting all the other home themes (saved on SD card no less).. but then OpenHome started encrypting their themes so no one else could use them.. and was changing the encrypting on a regular basis so they just couldn't just add in a decrypter to the other programs.... "Open" Home my patoot!.
But seriously... you should just root already.

Clear clock, weather, and calendar for 2.1? Where?

Guys,
I would appreciate help in locating these clear widgets since I can't find them. Im interested in the small and large digital clock; and small and large weather as well as the clear calendar.
I got spoiled by the "clear as a bell" theme for hero 1.5 roms and now would like the same for 2.1.
I found the clear lockbar but am still missing the rest.
Thanks.

EEK Now I wanna make a all clear theme... See what you have done. umm you can get some of these clear widgets from a app called Beautiful Widgets... Its in the android market, but its a paid app.. IMO its worth it.
EDIT: surprising enough i think you are one of the only people to ask this..

Thanks. Someone else suggested Beautiful Widgets but I think it would be a good idea to have a free solution for all the peeps.
I can't believe Im the only one asking about this since so many people loved the "clear as a bell" theme and widgets. That thread had a ton of hits.

Lockscreen is from JsChiSurf, clock is Beautiful widgets, appointments is pure calendar, powerbar is a metamorph theme. Not pictured is pure messenger which lists sms messages.
It's available, but the good stuff are paid apps in the market.

Here. Push this in place of the htc clock widget. clear weather and digital.
http://www.4shared.com/file/EkZgESRd/HtcClockWidgetclear.html

i was hoping for a port of the clear as a bell set for 2.1 as well. i was comparing the apk's of the 1.5 widgets to the 2.1 widgets, and saw a bunch of png's that were in common. however, the 2.1 set has more png's, so i am not sure of the implications if we just copy and replace the old png's into the 2.1.

I tried Beautiful Widgets and looks like the most customizable widgets I have ever seen. They are great. I just wish they had the extra small digital clock and extra small weather.

I seriously doubt that they will work but you never know. Worst case I think the widget will stop working (I hope). Anyone know for sure?
What would be the commands to push the png's and to where exactly?

I also love the clear clock and weather widgets. I am not sure what 2.1 rom you are using but if it is DC 2.7 then what I did was flash darkstars theme which has the clear main clock/weather widget. Then I flashed back to markstheme cause I like the overall color/taskbar stuff better and the clear clock/weather widget stayed for some reason, which I am happy about. I didn't feel like paying for the beautiful widget app.

You don't want to push the png's. You would need to put the png's in the proper place in the proper apk file, then you would push the apk file like this:
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app
I might be able to help you out, but I am not sure which clocks you are talking about. I see a small digital clock widget and am guessing the large one is the one with weather. Not sure what you mean by small and large weather.

I am talking about:
Clocks:
The large digital clock with weather and the smallest digital clock without weather.
Weather:
The medium and smallest weather widgets.
Sorry, I mentioned a medium digital clock, but I was mistaken. The only medium digital clock is the one in Beautiful Widgets. It takes up about half the space as the HTC one. That one is clear already though.
Here is a pic with the 4 widgets:

There are a couple different ways to make them clear, so look at the pic of the two clocks - attached here - and see if that is what you want. I wasn't sure if you wanted the white to be clear too. Side note, screencasting won't work here at work, sorry for the bad pics.

My apk had that.

Hey, sorry I didn't reply to your post earlier, got caught up with other stuff and forgot I had the file. I pushed it and it worked.
Here is a screenshot. The only issue are two white dots on top of the big digital clock. Everything else looks great.
Now for the weather... I will try heaterz next.

Not really. Even though Gomorrah's theme looks great I was looking for just the clear widgets. Plus he didn't make his clock completely clear (the background is still there). I also did not see his weather widgets..
Not sure what he did with those.

(Icon) Sony Font White PNG Iconset and 9 single screen wallpapers for it

Well, Sunday afternoon, wife and kids away so I went on with some icons in the sony erirsson font. When you rooted your phone and use this font as your default it looks great on your phone...nevertheless worth sharing. Here some screens in use:
​
Here are the white PNG icons in Sony Font containing the following:
Applications: GPS, Music, Pictures, Tools, Video, Weather
Homescreen: Dial, SMS, Mail, Shop, Twitter, Web
Games: Action, Arcade, Cards, Puzzle, Race, Sport
Using Smart Shortcuts you can use these icons as your folder icon and make shortcuts on your screens, when you tap them a folder opens with the chosen applications you chose making the folder in Smart Shortcuts.
If you are using Desktop Visualizer these icons are 100x100 png, they are a bit smaller in words of course as I went of the edge a bit.
They look a bit blurry on the screenshots, but that's because I cropped the screenshot png which already is a small file ofcourse. On your telephone it looks sharp as a razorblade ;-)
EDIT: The best thing is of course when your wallpaper is not scrollable (setting in ADW). For that I made 9 wallpapers which looks good with those icons. 3 like in the screenshot and another 6. Also added as attechment. They are 490x854 photo's pasted in a 960x854 background. Just swipe them to maximum and there you go Watch out, there are 2 nsfw pictures in it as well. Herewith an overview of all wallpapers, obviously as i explained you won't see the white parts, it is necessary to get a perfect single wallpaper (unscrollable) for all your screens. For the first two when you want to add the text icons exactly in the squares, make sure you have selected in adw settings, 5 coulomns and 6 rows, than it will fit when using smart shortcuts, this app is free from the market.
​
Cheers,
Arnold

added 9 single screen wallpapers for non scrollable use. That way you can make different pages using those icons.

Thanks for sharing and putting time to make these.

Although i am totally noob & didn't get it how to do all that (due to my poor english), but really awesome effort from your side Great & Thank You very much ^^

Excellent, and many thanks for this. I don't, however, know how does one change the icons for the apps, what's the app/technique to do that?

Just download the program 'Desktop Visualiser' it is not available in the market for the X10, but you can find the .APK on this site. That program is very simple to use, no explaination needed.
Also, extremely nice backgrounds, I already have extremely similar icons (Tallmin: http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-tallmin-icon-set), so most likely won't be using them, but almost certainatly will make use of the backgrounds!

Your wallpaper collection gave me a boner!!

On a completely unrelated note, my X10i gave me the 'charging bug' for the very first time just now
Damn!

Thank you, nice to hear people like them. Spent 4 hours on it to find wall papers which will fit the icons as a glove. Personally I use them with SMART SHORTCUTS, as desktop visualizer and my phone are not friends, so smart shortcuts folders....that is what you see in the screens.
It is very easy to install. Read the first post and it will work. If you have questions or need help, just post a reply and people will help you...that is the great thing from this community.
Shukla, you are crazy haha

PollPixx, as always great work follow many of your threads
I've sorta been using your icons (sorta because i like images ) and trying a new dual screen type approach with sophisticated sleek words and minimal view on one home screen with the big colourful images on another home screen. Havent gotten it to look 100% yet as its very hard to get it all to fit nicely with a wallpaper, but when I do i'll post on the desktop thread!
p.s. awesome walls wish i could keep one in particular as my wally but the girlfriend will castrate me

I put that wallpaper on my girlfriend's phone because I was bored... she slapped me

Well, as I am also a photographer and have my studio by the house my wife is used to some girls nudity, actually she is more than once my model, artistic naked photos are great,
I dont like the pornographic pictures, but artistic naked like the third screenshot, which happens to be set as my default screen, is really something I like....
I also can't understand why people are having problems by such an innocent picture like the black/white behind picture I posted above, the great thing by these pictures is that you are not seeing anything pornographic at all...
I have had several discussions already about this subject, I always say, if you like it, use it, if you dont like it grab another background...
So, convince your girl you are just an art lover....

2 - How did you disable the botton center icon from ADW?
Thks
EDIT: By the way: I´ve made some icons based on these with droid text.
PollPixx if you allow i will post link here.

Thx!
1. You can't....i made different screen shots to show the difference.
2. Just long tap and swipe it upwards, worked for me.
Of course, post them.

[Q] Use an image for background in mms.apk?

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the background in the messaging to app to maybe the home screens wallpaper or any image really. I looked in the mms.apk and didn't see anything about a background. If anyone has any idea how to do this that is great, but if there is a lot coding involved I'm fine without it. I'm not good at that stuff.

Why does my device matter? I have the HTC Hero, though. Slidescreen is an Android launcher. According to the market: "A complete home replacement focused on your information.
Shows summary information for SMS, GMail, Phone calls, Calendar, Google Reader, Stocks, Twitter and Facebook."

I really wanted slidescreen back but now it is dead ad there is no alternative ... is there anyone out there who can create a new launcher like slidescreen T_T it was THE BEST! ... any hope?

i found 1
i like the slidescreen too..
i searching everywhere..
n finally,,i found 1..
blackbearblanc.tumblr.com/post/3547408161
but there is no download link..
he named it glow screen..
im googling,,no result about "glow screen"..
i like the appearence,,better than slide screen..
im frustrated to find the link..
:hammer

If you read the description of the link, he's actually just using multiple widgets:
A ONEscreen with::
Puremessenger Widget for sms, gmail and missed calls only (gTalk when clicking title)
Kalender widget (TaskOs when clicking title)
AozoraClock with a copied font, Snowstorm Weather, Minimalistic Text for battery, Mobile Signal Widget Pro
Scrollable News (Pulse when clicking title)
Plume Transparent mod (Plume when clicking title)
WidgetLocker when downloaded lockbar from xda + a big lion king wallpaper.
Own dock with blank buttons
Scrollable dock icons: Call/contacts - gmail/new gmail - HancentSMS/New SMS - Astro/NotificationBar down - Dropbox/Open statusbar.
Dock2 is links to Folder Organizer folders (both press + swipe) with different Gingerbread icons. - Player is Quickdesk with SoundHound transparent mod - PowerAmp and BeyondPod smoked mod.

I've been looking for a SlideScreen replacement, as the last beta version is a bit unstable. Unfortunatley I am yet to find one either.

I would like to push this topic up, since I'm would really love to find a alternative to this aplication...
If it would work properly in Jellybean I would use to replace the launcher...

it's called SlideLine.

Looks good, a tempting package now they're all bundled together and skinned out of the box. Do the widgets have the old slide-to-clear functionality of SlideScreen?
