no MIUI? no Problem! there is something to fill in the GAP! - Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps

Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up

So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.

It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.

Thanks mate! Butterfly Launcher + [SSKIN] Liveback_Sense looks perfect

yeah man its cool. i like the flip of the theme. it's pretty fast on my tab i wonder how come its slow on other users as mentioned above. some people do not reboot their tabs as a result they become heavy. a reboot is a must in a day.

Fancy widget was malicious!

After updating fancy widget for the last time my launchers began to become unstable and as of now sense UI forecloses every time I attempt to open it.

Check what else you put in there besides fancy widget, version 1. 30 is working great for me on spica i5700 running 2.1 with launcher pro and judging by comments no one so far is experiencing what you are reporting.

What's wrong with Sense?
Isnt Fancy widget similair (about the same) compared with HTC's Sense clock widget? Makes me think why you would like to have Fancy widget while you have Sense

Yeah, doesn't make sense at all Seriously, yeah, I'd just use the HTC Clock widget.
I still like the whatever-the-app-is when you touch the weather in the Sense Clock widget.. World weather, time, stopwatch, etc all in one place. Played with it in XDAndroid a bit, but using a stock Nexus One and have separate apps for such things now.
You do realise the HTC Clock Widget can only be used on Sense UI, right?

stock apps

i am looking for the sprint stock apps and the htc stock ones as well... i updated my rom and would like to get some stuff back such as the clock widget on a stock rom, etc etc....
thanks in advance
The clock widget was a Sense widget. If your new ROM isn't a sense rom, you can't use the stock clock widget. There are quite a few replacement widgets in the market though.
Search around on the development forums. Devs like to strip out those apps but provide flashable zips for those who want them. Limit your search to the Sense roms.

need more info.. for starters, what rom are u using?
If you are using a non-Sense based ROM (i.e. CM) none of the widgets will work as they all need the Sense framework to run.
The Sprint apps will run however, and as was stated, take a look in the Development forums, they are all there.
thank u all for ure replys! yea im using cyanogenmod 7 and ill look around in those forums.... also, i understand that they need the framework for it to work, but those zip files stated on top... would they not contain those files? im new to android, i come from windows mobile... so sorry for the noobish questions

You won't find a Gingerbread ROM with Sense...you can theme it to look like Sense, but it will not be Sense.
As for the Sense framework, no, the zips that have the apps will not have the Sense framework...totally different beast

Fancy Widget free is what I was using before upgrading to Fancy Widget Pro.
The Pro version gives the option to use a very Sense-like flip clock and weather animations similar to what you would see in Sense.

I actually have a few (Minimalistic Text, Beautiful Widgets, SimiClock, FancyWidgets and Miui) that I switch between or combo up...I'm a tool I like the weather forecast options of FancyWidgets, the clock look of Miui, battery stats of Minimalistic Text...I'm never satisfied Wish I could learn to make my own app to make it how I want it...I have tried and always just revert back recognizing the fact that I can theme, but not dev.

And if you've got the spare change, Beautiful Widgets is another step up from FW. It's weather animations are much better and it has a million different sense themes and more homescreen widgets.
I can't find my city in Miui Weather, or any city near me. I'll have to do a little research on it later when I get home, it really is gorgeous...

Honeycomb Style Lock-screen

Hey all,
Want a HONEYCOMB style lockscreen?
Try this one. It looks really close, if not the same.
Works for 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.3
GSM & CDMA
*Known bugs
Some user experience a "double lockscreen" this is being worked on. This bug is on all versions paid or free. Reboots sometimes works, or stop the lockscreen and start it again from in app settings.
works landscape and portrait.
SRRY, forgot to ad the thanks, until reminded. Thanks, SunPengfei
I have found that this version works best in our tabs.
Feel free to update through market, but, again,I found this earlier version works best.
Enjoy.
Or get the paid version on the market, although I dont see any difference. (especially if your rom has an adblocker or adfree)
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED
owh dude , i'm confuse right now . you should add the app with the other thread , and name it some goodies for the buddies .. i'll try it and give u feedback
OP, is this something you've put together yourself? or somebody elses work you're posting?
If its the latter then make sure to give the appropriate credit where its due.
Cheers.

Thank you for pointing it out that I forgot to ad thanks.
ps, is your nin theme available for htc desire?
WOW! This was what i was looking for (I just really wanted an auto rotating lockscreen) !
I've found a few things:
The status bar is still openable
There isn't an option to make the wallpaper see-through. Meaning we cannot see the live wallpaper beneath it.
The lock circle gets cut off when moved to extreme points.
Not deal breakers and considering its actually pretty good as is, I can live with those things maybe there will be fixes and additional features!
Thanks!

Thoughts on Launcher 7

Just curious to see what people think of Launcher 7, for those who've tried it. I gotta say, I put it on yesterday out of curiosity, and was surprised by how much I like it. I love Android, and balked at Launcher 7 at first because it was a completely un-Android UI, but maybe it's because I've been on Android for like 2 years now, but I find it really refreshing. I like its simplicity, efficiency, and different sleek look.
I'm curious to see how it does with battery life. I used my navigation/GPS a lot today so my battery went pretty fast, not a good test of Launcher 7. I'm running it over Synergy (lightest Sense ROM I could find) and under battery use it's not even showing up so I'm guessing/hoping it doesn't have a big effect.

Many home launchers don't use much power, i've used GO/LPP and both are normally floating around 1%. Now I used the L7 very long ago, back on my MT3GS, and it was pretty nice to have IMO, I did like the UI's feel overall. But at that time it was still buggy so I think that's why I had abandoned it. I'm a fan of eye-candy so I prefer something more flashy with fancy effects. Which is what GO gives me, it has this cool sphere effect for the app drawer.
Your biggest power drainers will be idle/standnby and Signal, and GPS.

And screen if you're running a Sense ROM. I've always wondered why on a Sense ROM Screen will be like 70% under battery use, but on AOSP only like 5%. I mean, the same screen is being used on all these ROMS right? I've asked that a couple times but never found an answer. Oh well. I'm sure it has something to do with how the ROM is utilizing things, but who knows lol.
Yeah I've been a loyal LPP user for my 3rd party launcher for a while. Love the widgets and the customizable dock. My brother runs GO on his Samsung Galaxy S and is always telling me I should try it, haven't yet but it does look very cool. I've seen pics o that globe app tray thing, looks sick. Is it smooth though?
So far Luancher 7 has been VERY smooth and seems to have minimal battery influence, like you said about 2% I think it wound up being. More than if you weren't using it, but solid nonetheless. I'm doing a lot of driving to new places this week so I'll be using my GPS a lot, it's going to be hard to get an accurate guess of average battery life but as far as function/style I am a big fan.
I will say though that the strength of launcher 7 (simplicity) might turn out to be its ultimate downfall lol. I'm enjoying it now, but it's just been a couple days. I can certainly see myself getting bored with it after a while. It's very functional but there is certainly something to be said for style and flare, and that's one thing it doesn't offer much of.
As an add-on question along with what people think of Launcher 7 in general - I'm curious to hear from any users who are using the donate version - does it offer better performance and features? Or does it just remove the ad in the app drawer? I think it adds a folder feature, which is probably worth the $1.50 in itself, but curious what else it offers.

I think i read somewhere that you can change the autobrightness and stuff of the screen and that sense has theirs up more or something, i don't remember.
But i use adw launcher ex and never see it on my battery stats, so i'm guessing that's good. And it never lags for me either, smooth as butter.

I didn't really notice a difference with the donate version when i used it other than it looks alot better without the annoying ads.
I installed Launcher 7 and used it pretty exclusively for a while.
I got to really like how the UI operated, and found it very quick. But I eventually stopped using it and uninstalled it.
The idea, for me, was to get to a LiveTiles experience, where I could see at a glance how many new emails and social postings I might like to read, upcoming appointments, etc... without having to deal with the rest of the crummy WP7 interface. So I suppose my goal is probably different than many. But I couldn't get there with Launcher 7 (no surprise, since it's built - and named - as a "launcher").
As a simple app launcher, it was decent, for my most-used apps... though the second I needed to use less-used apps, I was somewhat disappointed/frustrated trying to find and run them.
That and, while I eventually understood it wouldn't take me all the way to LiveTiles, the fact that it didn't have (at the time) a clock/date widget that looked decent within the interface (seems like a stupid thing, but actually became a necessity for me) made me opt for something else.
Haha, yep - after about 4 or 5 days, I'm off Launcher 7. It WAS very good and functional, but as I predicted I got bored pretty fast. I play with my phone too much to not have something flashier and more interactive.
Wound up trying Go Launcher Ex, and have to say - it's way better than LPP! Loving it so far!
Question if you read this: how do I get that sphere app drawer thing? Can't find it?
EDIT: NM, I realized they only come up with horizontal app drawer, I had it set on vertical.

Look in the settings of Go launcher, look through all the settings, i've ended up on LPP again b/c it has the Sense3 widget skins, and appears to be running faster for me on miui. With GO I would get many fc's and it would lag sometimes, this started on the newer versions of GO though. Sphere is the app drawer effect, look in effects, when on home screen, press menu, goto preference, and look for effects. Sphere effect is with chariot, binary, random, and the other animations.

having just recently moved from a WP7 to an Android phone Launcher 7 made me feel "back home" instantly. I like the WP7/Launcher 7 home screen with the big tiles; IMO it's a nice, fresh look compared to a large number of Android launchers or iOS. I never liked the 2nd page of the WP7 home screen - a one-column alpabetically sorted list of all installed apps? Boring and not very flexible.
I now use Go Launcher Ex and while I still like the look and feel of the Launcher 7 tiles, I do not miss it.

just to tell you, the Evo3D 3D camera is terrible. Well, not terrible, just... the 3D effect isn't as good as the Optimus3D. I've had a friend who took a 3D picture of me in 3D with flash and I took of him in 3D without flash. Both agreed that my picture was much better. And I tested out his 3D flash in a dark place. Trust me, it's not that good. When its light, Optimus3D has better 3D pictures. When its dark... the flash in the evo3D gives some light, but 3D effect is much much less too.
What I'm saying is, I wouldn't give up the excellent 3D image technology that LG has just for a tiny not useful brief of light from the Evo3D. Truthfully, the tiny flash isn't too helpful for the 3D. If you really want to take 3D pics in a DARK place, better to carry one of those huge and super powerful flashlights.
Sensation? Sense right? I was saying before how sense wasn't worth the time and effort to port. My reason is because, although its nice to look at, it also does drain more battery and takes up a lot of memory. Most of the people I know with Sense ended up switching to another launcher just days after using it. I'll admit that Sense looks BEAUTIFUL!!! But, after looking at it for a while, even pretty eyecandy gets tiring. The friend who had a Evo3D was very happy with Sense. However, he didn't feel anything special about it after about 3 days. I should also say that he quickly switched to Go Launcher EX after I showed him the Sphere transition effect in the app drawer. He hasn't regretted not using Sense yet. Don't think he will.
Porting a rom is possible, but a very long and complicated process. There's compatibility and stability issues to look at and fix. Its not worth the effort to do it especially when you think about how it'll be a never ending battle with bugfixes.
Personally, if you're just after gingerbread best to wait for LG to do it. People has waited this long, they can wait a bit longer. They've first announced the update to be in September I believe and then they announced that they'll delay it till this month or possibly next month for testing purposes. Just keep waiting, at least they tell you the reason its being delayed. Better than them just delaying the update for no reason. At the moment you know Gingerbread is almost here, but they're just at the stage where they want to make it as stable and bugfree before release. Personally, I feel that's much better than releasing some halfassed rom that has more problems than you can report. I'm sure some of you have been there. Haste makes waste right?
The testing stage for a product typically takes a long time. Some people spend months to test something before they release it. Its not like they can just develop something, throw it onto a phone, use it once then release it.
So, for those who are too impatient for the soon to come gingerbread release, my advice is just wait a bit more patiently. The more you rush them, the more unstable the release might be. Though, I believe most people are just upset due to an inferiority complex. Don't like to see that other people are getting a newer version of Android while their own is prehistoric. Don't worry too much about that, not like you'll always have the best and latest.
I agree to @DevJackey
moving from HTC Sense to other UI , it may take 2-3 days to adjust!
I am alive evidence of both HTC 3D EVO & LG-920 & LG-SU760 (special edition of LG 3D for SK Telecoms)
after several hours and capturing few pictures , I rushed back to shopkeeper to return the set and got back the LG 3D from him...Thanks God , I already experienced LG else could thought HTC EVE 3D is reality as best and this is how 3D works ... hehehehehehehe
LG works good even in room light. I think it just software issue and LG will release something to trigger FLASH in 3D. So better to wait for while , if LG will not do it , I am sure our XDA Developers are wonderful guys
First decide, What you want from 3D ?, 3D experience or UI (sense) + 3D Flash (and how many pictures you capture in dark)?
And don't forget the Real3D framework from LG. If you port the Evo 3D ROM you gain Sense and GB, but you lose Real3D, so no 3D app from LG will work on that ROM.
Thanks for your advice and also I say dark I Meen with my bed side lamp on but it just looks orange and grainy but I took a 2d image in the same lighting with flash and it was so much clearer
If your saying sense isn't that great can you maybesuggest a loader that uses little memory but Is sexy n smooth atm im using ice cream sandwich loader thanks

I suggest Go Launcher EX.
Wish I used it before I bought LauncherPro and ADW, but I guess the money's gone to a good cause.
Go Launcher is free. It's light. Its smooth. Its sexy.
A lot of themes on the market. Has its own Go Launcher Widgets that are pretty good.
Lots of customizations for the appearance.
Lots of beautiful transitions in both the homescreen and the app drawer. What stole my heart was the Sphere transition effect in the App Drawer when its in Horizontal Loop mode.
You could have folders support inside the app drawer and delete apps straight from it. There's a feature borrowed from iPhone where you can create folders and then drag apps and drop them onto those folders. Cool part is the app drawer transitions work inside the folders too.
Go give it a try, play with some settings, download a few themes, fall in love, have a happy romance, and enjoy the good life.
Since its free, no reason not to try right?
I think maybe I should work part-time as a App Promoter.

Home Panel. Its the panel that has the most widgets I guess... You can definitely see how the theme is.
App Drawer. Looks nice in the App Drawer too.
Fav Transition. Yup my personal favorite transition effect of Go Launcher is the Sphere.
Just incase you were wondering how come I have empty spots in my home panel...
