k so i been on google all night and searching and youtubing but yet have i found my answer....im getting my new hd7 tomorrow and switching from a moto droid and on my droid i have launcher7 which is a homescreen replacement for android....and on that launcher i can have ties and my own background....i can set the transperancy levels to were i can see most of my background...now what i want to know is this possible on an actuall wp7 running device and if not is there a way of getting it?
hi
it is not possible just yet, but there are people working on this project and it is just a matter of time when this too will be available.
i really hope so this is really the only thing thats keeping me from keeping this phone...i thought u could change the background an all but guess not....was thinking of just gettting an hd2
It is still worth getting. I have an HD7 & a lot has been accomplished. We've managed to be able to change quite a few icons. See attached screenshot of my device.

well to b honest drkfngthdragnlrd i read your post on how you almost got a custom bg on your start screen and thats the main reason im really considering just keeping the device once it comes in tomorrow....i just hate plain main screens and simple u.i
I totally agree, but I will say, screenshot do nothing for the beauty of the UI in motion & the animations. While it may be simple looking, the 3d effects of the animations look nice. I will continue to try to find a way to add a background among other things. I believe that won't happen though till we can edit the dll's/exe's.
just to show what im talking about this is my current home screen on my motorola droid running a home replacement program called launcherpro 7

I remember seeing tons of screenshots for this and figuring/hoping whenever I upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1, it would be there. Well, it's not, or at least not in Verizon's installation. What is this application or plugin and where can I get it? It is something I can install just like I've done with the HTC home plugin or is it something that has to be in the rom? Thanks, and sorry if I'm asking a question that's been asked a billion times before. I have no idea what to call this .

The screen shots are both from a WM6.1 Standard device. Do you have a Standard (ie no touch screen) or a Professional (with a touch screen)?
Professional (with touchscreen). So you're saying that layout is only intended for non touchscreen models? That sucks. I think that's a much cleaner layout than the out-the-box layout professional offers. Any ideas or am I just out of luck? Thanks.

You could browse through the countless number of themes and launchers available.
Guess it's time to find a new HTC touch home launcher. Thanks.
If I were you I would invest in Wisbar Advance Desktop. You could easily achieve this with it.
Never heard of it before. Looks pretty sharp, thanks for the heads up!
There is also a throttle launcher skin which looks similar to this. I think it is the windows mobile 7 skin. If you do a search it should come up pretty quickly.
I came over to the Android world from the Touch Pro 2 like I'm sure many here did. I spent a lot of time on PPCgeeks.com and have contributed a lot on that site in the way of the TP2.
Now with the Incredible, XDA has became my favorite site for phone and I hope to contribute to the Android world from here.
One of my favorite themes was the Dusk Theme by xda user grzegorz10. He does some beautiful work and in my opinion it is second to none.
I am working on a few things for the Android world that will possibly bring some of this to the Incredible.
Here is a start, it's not perfect yet but I am pretty happy with the way it is coming along...
I give you the Dusk Clock!

And the widget preview image when adding it to your home screens.
I don't know how far I will take this, probably just a piece at a time. I don't really have the time to do a complete ROM, that and the fact that learning where all of the different files are is a whole new ball game compared to Window Mobile operating system.
As for right now the phone has to be rooted and you have to push the files using adb. In the future there will probably be a better way of doing this but for now that's about it.
If anyone is interested in this, when I get it completed I will post the apk and instructions for getting it on your phone.
gadget!
Wow...bringing me back! Greg made a sick Dusk theme, nice to see this on Sense and not Manila
Nice job.
Whoa.
Dude it is badass.. when can I get this..
Looks great. Takes me back to the days of Manilla
Sent from my HTC Incredible
any update on when we can use this bad boy!?
Hi
We are toying with the idea of letting user customize their live wallpaper with an SMS alert.
User could upload any picture and specify the fonts and background
When a SMS arrive on your phone the background and SMS will appear as shown om the screen shot.
This would be made available as an extension to our ownskin live wallpaper capability.

I would like to see if there any suggestion to this
Thanks
Wow that is a brilliant idea. I will look forward to it.
Any ideas would be
-Different styles
-Bubbles
-Lines(Webos or Android style maybe?)
-Transparency
I think many people customize phones and transparency is a must.
Anyway I am looking really forward to this
WOW..I would definitely donate maybe .99 for it. Great idea...
Wow! Sounds great. Will wait for a release.
Spoken into my EVO cause I'm probably driving.
I hadn't heard of OWNSKIN before I saw this thread. Very impressive work!
*edit- I just did a little customizing on a LWP just to see whats up, WOW, truly amazing
This is just an idea at this point to add to our LWP customization.
Just wondering if people would consider this an invasion of privacy ? Because our App would be reading your SMS.
How about GPS data. We are also toying with the idea of Grabbing the GPS data from the phone and use it for some Live Wallpaper fun.
We are not collecting the data. But it will appear as a warning when people try to install the apps
I'm kinda curious to see how a Google TV-like theme would look on CM6.1 -- I think it'd look awesome and Gingerbread probably has some similarities so it'd be a good theme to hold some of us over 'till CM gets to it. I'm pretty good at the graphic design thing but am always loaded with work so I usually start something on my free time and never finish...
Anyway, what I'm thinking is that I could make all the graphics files, I'd then pass it on to some one who can adjust the XML (pretty much only changing black text to white). I've done some detailed XML (spacing, color, etc) stuff before but it'd just give me a headache to go back into (trying to fix Sense's complete and utter fail at design does that to you...). I want to finish this over the weekend so it'd have to be someone who has experience and knowledge of a lot of the XML values (menus, pop ups, status bar, etc). If anyone is able and interested, just leave a reply.
The theme itself should be pretty easy to make, it'd look stock but dark w/ blue glow-ish highlights. For examples:

Some examples of my Android-y work to judge if its worth helping me:
Complete radio app remake. Will probably release soon.
Swype, part of a Sense face lift theme I was making before I moved to CM.
Just the dock and icons.
There is already an alternate themed skype found in tmobile's mytouch4g using a variant of htc sense. Although nice work there : )
Hello. First, let me talk about my obcessin for this wonderfull piece of magic called Honeycomb Launcher..
IMO it was the coolest launcher ever made by google, with that 'APPS' and ' + ' button at top, dizzy :silly: animations to change wallpaper and enter in the app-drawer.
So I started a project, to port it for our Notes ^---^
I grabbed a 'launcher2.apk' from my xoom 3.2.1 honeycomb stock room and decompiled it without dependencies.
I'm having a hard timing figuring how to port it, just because I know nothing about this. But every help will be apreciated.
When i arrive at home I'll provide some screenshots and files that I'm using. :highfive:
'Launcher2.apk' itself from my old rom will not install itself. If you force it on sys folder on note, you'll see that it is listed as a Launcher in Home chooser, but when you try to open it, it'll force close in your face.
Every little piece of help will be apreciated, and if someone, by a miracle, wants to do the job, it'll be blessed by my 'thanks' in every single action in their life.
So, albeit I'm in my job, I'll post some screenshots of HC launcher from stock rom. It looks like this, and this, and this :good:
