Sad story.
I've had my EVO for over 3 months now and in that 3 months I have not been able to create one layout of which I had liked and stuck with for more than a week. It's getting old but I just can't seem to decide on something that fits my taste as far as home screens, wallpaper, theme, widgets, and everything else. I couldn't even find a screen in the post your screens thread that was very appealing to me.
So here's my request: Create a layout/theme for me and post the screens and I will donate $5-10 for the first one that I am happy with. Theme, wallpaper, screen layout, widgets(weather, clock, in-car screen, calendar, astrid)
Just make something that looks cool and is functional at the same time. I am running myn's RLS 5 with stock rosie but am open to ADW or LauncherPRO launchers. I use ChompSMS.
Widgets to include:
Clock
Weather
Music
Calendar
Unread Chomp SMS
Unread GMail SMS
Screen dedicated to Car widgets
Multicon?
Other notes:
Throw a theme and font on it from this forum
IF you make this into a flashable zip for me, I will donate $15. If not, just post screen shots.
Thanks I'll be back tonight after work. I look forward to seeing in anyone bites on this. Trust me, I wouldn't be asking people to do this if I had one ounce of creativity but nothing I ever make even looks slighty cool or unique.
download sweeterhome from the market. it has a bunch of layouts bult in.
is this for real ?
if so its sad so very sad

I was wondering has anyone figured out how to place sence widgets on to the android home or any other home alternatives? This might be an old request but I can’t figure out if this is even capable.
try these...
beautiful widgets and pure widgets will get you.....
So far I have pure widgets and beautiful widgets, but I like the sense widgets more. And pure widgets only allows one messenger widget when I’m looking for an email widget and an sms widget

I really doubt it will ever work since they use parts of the sense frame work to run. So you like 3 screens instead of 7 covered with stuff? I never understood why people don't like sense. I looked at several other android phones before I bought mine and sense was the deciding factor. I really wish I had like 10 screens, but I hate how laggy open home is.
Whilst CHT 2.0 is undoubtedly another AMAZING leap forward for our phones there are some widgets that desperately need to be developed to complete it. Now unfortunately, whilst I can make things look pretty, I do not speak LUA, nor do I have the time to learn! Is there anyone out there working on making (or editing existing Maxsense ones...) the following widgets:
Favourite People widget (like the one in Maxsense)
Twitter widget (like the RSS widget already in CHT 2.0)
Facebook widget (likewise)
Google Search widget
Feel free to add any more requests and ideas to this list and I'll make sure to forward the suggestions on
Yup, We all agree with you. Widgets and more live widgets, all alike SPB House and Android widgets ported to CHT 2 Beta would be very sweet. Again I don't think this will happen over night, maybe in 3 or 4 months we'll see another version of CHT with added widgets.
Easy widgets like Pictures portraits, and quick links could be developed with sizable options and themes thou. I need something to fill out all this empty space. I learnt when I turn down the animation to normal, everything flows smoothly!!
I know there are a million and one TOP APP thread.
Just wanted to pop out a few suggestions I do not see in the usual lists.
1st is a couple of apps from Mobitobi. (biased as I been helping test)
Gentle Alarm and SleepNow *a white noise generator*
The Alarm more than anything has come to be a MUST have for me. Love the PreAlarm and the FadeIn..
Pure Grid Messenger for a Facebook/Twitter scrollable full screen widget. Many options for Widgets and will track mail and calls as well in same widget.
Couple Programs I been messing with for customization of screens are Desktop Visualizer (takes some tinkering and some Photoshop knowledge and you can make some AWESOME screens, coupled with Folder Organizer and you can get some really nice uncluttered screens with the same functionality of one jammed with icons and what not..
hehe not amazing but have not posted in a couple days and the urge to share was there..
This is probably a lame thread, but maybe others have similar issues and we can whine about them, because we're lucky and can afford to waste time worrying about our homescreen setup on our smartphones, and not where our next meal is coming from. (wow, where did that come from?)
It's not in any way a development/tech problem, it's just aesthetics: I get so frustrated trying to find a cool wallpaper that still alows me to see the apps/widgets on my homescreens cleanly! I always wind up reverting to a semi-boring wallpaper like a black grid because with busier wallpapers of things I'm actually interested in, they clash so much with my homescreen items that I can't read half my widgets! So just curious as to how you all have your homescreen set up? Do you have a busy wallpaper with minimal apps/widgets? Or do you use a bland "backdrop" wallpaper so that you can see/use the apps/widgets cleanly? This has always been a peeve of mine, because both elements (wp and widgets) seem essential to customizing your phone, and yet it's so hard to get them to play nicely together for a clean, visually pleasing display.
I'm currently using Regina Launcher and have five independent wallpapers.
I just use a "blah" one for busy work spaces and use good one for lesser crowed screens.
That's actually not a bad topic. There are tons of images I'd like to use as a wallpaper but I run into the same problem you do. I always end up settling for something not as bright, so i can see my widgets/apps clearly. Recently though, i just started editing my images to a darker tint so the white lettering stands out. This brings up the concept of integrating text color editing into the existing top launchers.
hmmm...
The one stickied thread in the themes section has a whole host of options with both minimalist and "busy" wallpapers. Some just don't work well, but there are compromises. Its more about finding the right Widgets/launcher to compliment your style.
Yeah, I know, it seems like a silly thing to complain about, you just gotta make it work however fits your tastes/needs. And you're right, the launcher is a big part of it, I've been using stock sense since getting the phone, but finally decided to try a replacement for various reasons, and I'm loving launcher pro plus, it's got many of the sense-type widgets, plus they work better lol, not to mention the dock and other things. Between that and a little finagling, I think I've found something that works.
If you use ADW then you can change the background box to whatever color and transparency you want to. I do this for some of my wallpapers so that the icons stick out.
Thanks for the tip! But honestly, I think I'm sticking with Launcher Pro Plus, I spent the $ already, and it's the only replacement I've tried that can truly top Sense, IMO.
I tend to use brighter more vibrantly colored wallpapers and i run into this issues once in a while. But i usually just place icons and widgets around the spots that make things hard to read or add a shaded box behind the widget.
And considering the amount of time we spend on our phones, it's pretty easy to remember what icon are for what apps. I stopped displaying names a long time ago. Now I even use icon sets not made for android and just use random icons for apps that in some way relate to them.
It's amazing that I have Android now almost four years, and when I read you, I feel like a complete outsider.
ll Get to the point.
Phone: HTC One X
Android 4.1.1
HTC SENSE: 4 +
Root: No, and I'm not interested
Launcher: Nova
What am I looking for: Google Play Apps
Icons
After several months of boredom and disappointment Android, I decided to infuse a new spirit into him, with Nova upgraded icons and some liken it to the fashion of iOS, but better iOS, Android as it approves. I threw new icons pack called MIRO EX and they present themselves as follows (attachment 1)
According to my untutored eye, it's really cool-looking, but I'm open to suggestions of other icons (the more so that, for example, or Wordpress Endomondo completely here does not look great). They can be round, square, I leave here you a complete freedom of choice. It is important for me is only possible to keep the original appearance of the icons of business, or to look like Spotify, Facebook with those characteristic elements likef M of Gmail but do not want to set, for example, where all the icons are silver
clock
I'm interested in a cool clock widget, modern and light. I do not want a typical HTC sheets rewinding digits, or a round of kitsch, but modern, white, light font, it can be a weather or cus, but the clock itself is most important.
widgets
Without the above clock, I'm using only two widgets. They are: Spotify and energy management. Is there a tool that allows you to rearrange the widgets in a little less wet behind the ears? As you can see I'm trying to make your Android affordable and reasonably lightweight (I do not know if I manage it, a subjective matter), and these two black widgets I would gladly have changed into something clear ...
The lockscreen
Sometimes I see screenshots of people with androids in the network and smoke with envy, these are such beautiful pictures lock! And in my standard, ugly ring and is still the standard icons. Can it replace for something affordable? If so, how is this type of application is called and that you recommend? (attachement 2)
I didn't read all of this. But you should give uccw a go, for clocks etc.
And also, widget locker. Gives you the best customisation withoit rooting.
There are also lots of nice transparent widgets, I suggest thinking of what you want the widget to do first, then try and find a nice looking one. But pure calender (music etc) are quite nice. And simple rss widget is nice too. But the best thing to do, as I said, is to search for transparent or something.
