This got deleted last night, so I'm trying again ):
The minimal, Metro style WP7 lockscreen needs to make an appearance on Android. I think the stock Android lockscreen is unfitting for minimal themes, especially ones that try to go for a sort of Windows Phone 7-y look. I imagine it'd be pretty simple, just make the graphics for it, tell it when to unlock/when not to unlock, and then.. release it as root-needed app so that it can run smoothly and not get killed every 10 seconds?
I'd say I'd offer a reward for anyone who did it, but alas, I am but a jobless, PayPal-less teenager. But maybe someone else likes my idea and would donate? I can donate wishes for legions of beautiful [whatever genitals you like] to find their way to you.

hello people
I have tried using driks rezo icons in hdwalls to create a new slider but to no avail and wondered if anyone could give some guidance. I would like to either use those or Matt Jacksons devotion slider but I am not sure how.

There's a slider tutorial out there, but I can't get my head around it. If you're more tech-savvy than me (no great feat! LOL), check it out over here:

If you can figure it out, maybe you can help me!!
I was hoping for something less time involved, but that sounds a bit cheeky bearing in mind how much time some of you guys put into the mods!
Yeah, I can only imagine. All I'm good for are icons and wallpapers. As far as getting the HD Walls slider thing to work, well, I came up goose eggs on that, sadly. Shame, too, as it is a REALLY easy interface!! I wish someone could come up with a tool that would allow you to make those sorts of changes (including taskbars!) in a nice GUI as that
it's made more frustrating by the fact that it's like the last piece in the jigsaw. Only need to sort sliders out and it's nearly looking like the phone i'd like. although....
I'm currently working on a Fallout theme and have the wallpaper, slider icons, and some of the app icons done. I just need someone to help me mod the clock and make my slider icons work and I'm golden! LOL. I'm going to post and see if anyone wants to volunteer and we can put the components for the theme up on here as a group effort!
that would be nice have to get the fifties ring tone to go with it, always an oblivion man myself.
ok, there are just a few things I need help figuring out, and the problem is, as much of a PC/computer dog that I am, I am so lost...this Moto Droid I've got is amazing, but it's almost too open sourced for me...
I'd like a cool theme, maybe...but what I really want to do is have a nice clean app for the weather, see a glimpse of facebook, a smooth running music player (haven't even used the built in one yet, but I like shuffle and choosing where the song is playing at, if the built in one has it, awesome), I need quick links, and a grid for my apps that lets me put a ton of apps in one spot, because as great as it is that I have 3-5 screens for apps, I want just one, lol, and I need to have a percentage indicator by, or as the battery icon, not as an after market app...preferably with better than by 10's or 20's only...
If I did a theme, it would just be so that I can have more colorful or neon-esque icons/app icons...but not the be all and end all...
I'm taking suggestions, and would love help or explanations on installs or developing myself...
Hello.
I read about custom widgets, themes, layouts etc. for SPB 3.0.1 and I think it's not too hard to actually make them. I'd very much love to make personal themes, rather than using somebody else's, no matter how eye candy those are. I think you feel me.
Please can anyone spare a minute to direct me to what I need to get started? The problem is I have a Nokia 5230, so it's symbian and I'm aware that the forum is about Windows but I noticed that people know precisely what they're doing and I hope the OS doesn't matter if it's about SPB.
What exactly I want to do is make custom widgets like clock, battery, carrier etc. (more like changing their icons -- shapes, colors -- rather than their functionality/code) I would then collect them into a theme.
Now I saw you had to edit the registry, qa_layouts.dat and some xml files. But as when I say "registry" I say "Windows", I'm starting to loose my hope, plus I don't know a dim about where to start researching.
I read jgjackson's How to add a custom widget but I don't know where to get the dat and what to do with it in the first place.
It all came to me from the fact that I didn't like the default blue SPB theme and my aesthetic demon keeps yelling into my ears: "black and white", "black and white", "greys at least", "transparent widgets", - shut up!! - "B&W" lol
Hi everyone.
I come from a Motorola Backflip, that although was a POS device, and didn't get root until ~6 months after release, I used to run CM6/CM7 on it and enjoyed using custom themes. In particular, I really enjoyed those slick, minimalistic themes. I know that there is a popular theme being developed (BlueICS or something) and I don't really dig the extravagant graphics and shading and everything, and much prefer a simple, minimalistic approach to theming. I know that once we get CyanogenMod fully ported to this device, a big number of options will open up for us, but as of right now, is anyone working on any other themes for the existing ROMs we have for this device? Such as a minimalistic theme? Sorry that I don't have any examples of what I'm looking for but I'm sure if you search for some you'll find some good ones around XDA. I'm sure some other people also prefer a similar look to their device and I was just wondering if anyone more capable than myself had considered working on such a theme.
Nova
I know its not the same, but have you tried using Nova?
I am on cleanROM 2.5 SE and I found the Sense a bit to "busy", I flashed the blueICS theme, and I liked the blue icons in notification as well as some of the other changes that were made it it, but I found using the free version of Nova was more then enough to simplify the general feel of the app drawer and desktop. This takes a little work and would be easier to just flash a theme, but its working great for me, and no theme would make it feel perfect for me?
If that makes sense?
or I could be completely off topic...
Hi, yeah, I'm currently running CleanROM DE and using Apex Launcher and I agree that the launcher does make a difference in the overall look/feel of the device but I'm talking about a full, complete themeing of the device (including stock HTC Sense apps. Here, I included some links of some kinds of themes that I'm talking about (yes, I know that some are for Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread). I also took some screenshots of them in case you don't feel like opening the links.

Hey guys! This is Crutchcorn. This is my very first app! This will be updated as I am terrible at this as of now.
I kept getting sick and tired of not finding any good iOS 7 Icon Packs with the original icons! As this is a VERY new thing for me I have noticed some difficulties with applying the app theme in LauncherPro but my phone is running on 2.3.3 so that might have something to do with it. Please let me know how it works for you! :fingers-crossed: Hope it works!!!!
(Note: If applying a theme doesn't work for you try applying it manually using something like Icon Changer )
Version: 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1
(Also noting: If a moderator moves or blocks this could they please PM me! I am VERY new (my first post!) to XDA so please lemme know what I'm doing wrong. No harm intended!)
Also, to be obious I did not make these icons, only made them into an APK. :highfive:
Welll.... This was a long time ago... Anyone want an update at all?

Hey there, you may also want to try to get root on your phone, and to get
Blurred System UI
Flat Styled Color Bar
Flat Style Module
And if you really want to get fancy you can also grab a CM11 ROM and install Flat Style Theme.
There's so much more I could put here, but I don't want to waste anyone's time if they don't want it

If I might say, I've been so bold to extract icons from apk, since I don't have any suitable launchers , but my LG g3 supports editing single icons and applying png files... Seem to me they're a bit on a small size, I'd like them to be like 3 pixels from the edge of the png, not smaller (with more transparent space on each size) ... if that makes sense ... besides that , all icons are "pitch perfect" iOS.
But at this moment , I went with ClickUI / PopUI style ...
anyways, great effort !!

No I know, and if I am to continue development I have very bold plans (to make a 1:1 clone of iOS as much as possible [only better ;D]) with support for many launchers and just a lot more than this. They are a bit small, but I did this in one evening so eh. It totally makes sense. That's cause it's extracted right from iOS firmware. I want to find someone with a rooted iPad Air 2 (so they can send me a pull of EVERYTHING on internal).... If you know anything like that I may consider getting back into developing this...

I've got iPad mini 1 , and iPad 1 (for retro iOS6 icons) ... I'm guessing that these icons are on the smaller resolution size ... If it would help , I'll gladly extract them in a day or two ... do you know any paths for them etc. something of help ? That green felt is not something we entirely easy got rid of.
Oh, wait .... Damn, my iPad mini is still on iOS6 ...

Oh sweet! Those both work! I could possibly do a bit with iOS 6 stuff as well. Oh jeez... It's been so long and I've sense removed my backups from the device.... I'm not sure but MAY (no promises) be able to get an Apple device for a bit to do a bit of reminding myself. It's okay if you Mini is iOS 6 I suppose... If you'd like I could help you get it onto iOS 7 and then root it, but if that's not an option I fully understand as well. TBH I did this a while ago. I had been part of the jailbreaking world sense iPhone OS 3 and I moved over to Android and gave away my iPod touch right before iOS 7 came out
There are some icons uploaded to deviantart... They are free, and I'm sure if you ask to borrow them the creator will gladly do so... As long as his/her work is acknowledged http://dtafalonso.deviantart.com/gallery/
Hope that helps! And I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules... If I am, please delete this post, it's not my intention :angel:
