[ICONS] LauncherPro 3-letter Text Icons for EVO/Hi-Res Screens

After seeing this post, I was inspired to modify Robbie Khan's templates to better fit the high resolution of my EVO 4G. If anyone else cares for these, I can create more, but for now, here's what I am using.
v2: I've added several more to the list - check out the ZIP file for all of them...
Current To-Do list:
Looking for suggestions!

yes can you post Phone/email/people

So, I am going for the theme of all 3-letter abbreviations that sound phonetically like the word.
So FON = phone
PPL = people (a.k.a. contacts)
I'll put the mail icon on my TODO list.

nice HD icons ! id like to see more

I would love to see some nice HD Icons!

it would be nice to have a thread where people can post launcher pro icons. those that can make it can post theirs etc.
i have looked in the launcher pro forum but not much there IMO

Nice work using them now. Thanks I am loving them.

Maybe instead of fon you can do call? I'd like to see that

A couple quick points. I have pulled some of the PNGs so that I can have a ZIP with an included Readme file. Everything is in there including a new "brushed" dock background that adds a little texture while staying semi-transparent.
I also added CAL and TXT icons for you in this version. Also, note that the 4-squares icon is called apps2.png. That's what I have in my screenshot.

Any preferences for a 3-letter shortcut? CAL might seem like calendar, but I've added that one already for you into the ZIP file.

Thanks! I appreciate the support!

I need one like GML for GMail (as I have two email accounts, one using gmail app, and one using the mail app lol)
Edit nevermind, I think I made one in Photoshop that is pretty close to the same size!
I did Bell Gothic Std - BLACK Style, Size 60pt, Strong, -75 on horizontal spacing. On Photoshop.

[ICONS] PolaDroid (15+ Polaroid images)

*Updated: Added more icons and .psd file.
I wasn't intending on making a thread for these, but i got quite a few PM's about them, so instead of replying to everyone, one by one, i decided to post it here...
What is PolaDroid??? Polaroid widgets that are arbitrarily designed to overlap one another.
I use Desktop Visualizer (large) to set up the widgets. I also recommend using Launcher Pro Plus to re-size and place them.
Included Icons:
Browser
Camera
Contacts
Email
Facebook
Fantasy Football
Market
Music
Spades
Text
Tools
Twitter
Video
Voicemail
Weather
*Bank of America
*Favorites
*Games
*Navigation
*Froyo (for whatever reason)
i will add more icon if enough people request similar ones
now for the screenshots:
hope you guys like them

yes, if you want the overlapping you HAVE to use launcher pro PLUS.
use desktop visualizer (large) as the starting point.. get the icon on the screen and re-size to a 1x1 icon.. then when u get a few of them on the screen placed where u want, expand each icon and they will overlap..

Very nice. Thanks.

Is there a psd in there? if not can you upload one please?

Thanks bk718 !!

Love, love, love the icons! I set up one screen with three on it, looks awesome! I'll keep checking back to see if/when items are added =)

Gorgeous
This is awesome ... Thanks.
BTW, can you tell me your LP settings? (number of rows/columns, etc.) And what is the font using here?

2nded. If we can get a psd, makes it easier to make more icons from more people, everyone wins. Looks great!

wow..very original and great looking.

These are simple yet very nice icons. Great job and thank you!

5 rows, 5 columns.. but you could use just about any number of rows and columns for different setups..
and the font is called 'bobcat'.. i've had it since my Photoshop CS3 days.. don't remember where i got it from as its been a couple of years now..

[Request] Typographic Time/Calendar

I was modding my widget locker the other day to change the bottom slide bar, and i was looking for different ideas and i came across "Typophone 4," its a lock screen for a jailbroken iphone 4. I thought the concept of typographic clock and date would make a really good 4x3 or 4x4 widget and i would be appreciative if someone could throw something simple together.
Thanks
Ive attached a copy of what it looks like

Hmm, like this?
No config there yet... just thrown together rather quickly

Looks pretty good with widgetlocker. Thanks

There are still a few kinks... for example, long day names get cut off. But I'll work on it

Can you add 12 hrs?

Awesome, been looking for something just like this! Keep up the good work!

This is excellent, I'm using it now. I'm subscribing to this thread, can't wait to see where this goes.

Thanks for the support New version should be ready tomorrow... time is a bit tight atm
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I get numbers instead of names for month and day, is that a language problem or do I need to change the settings of my date configuration?

thank you!

would really love to try this but cant install the .apk with appmonster. i get "there is a problem parsing the package"

Works great for me, any chance of 12 hr clock?

Very nice.
It's probably because of my font (NeutraFace) but everything is cut off 50 %.
Either way; Nice clock

Currently it is using an absolute (pixel based) layout. I need to come up with some formulas to make it screen- and font-independent. Please be patient
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

very nice. make it play well with 180 and 200 lcd density settings (i.e. option to make huge!) and I'll be a very happy man!

This is great, thank you!

Here we go...
* should be density-independent
* more space for long strings
* 12hr mode optional

[APP] Contactz Call Widget

Good Day everyone,
We would like to introduce our first widget here to gather feedback from all the android user/developers in the forum.
Basically the concept is to provide a huge/big contact widget to make it earsier for user to make phone call under certain condition. (driving, or fast call using single hand). Beside that, this we also provide the features for user to choose their own skin/frames of preferences.
Below are the official description in the Market:
Create Simple Life - Add your favourite contact to your homescreen.
With this, a call or SMS to your favourite contact is just a touch away.
Boring with the dull Android call widget?
We provide you the option to choose your own preference of skin for your widget.
Feature Details:
1. Add 4 favourite contacts to homescreen
2. Option to choose either CALL, SMS or both action for ONE Touch event.
3. Option to choose your own preference of skin for the widget. (Random features also included)
4. Now you can make a phone call with 'speaker on' by just clicking on your contact.
As we still new here, we cannot include any screenshot and download link in this forum. Sorry.
You can download it by searching for "Contactz" in the market.
If you like it, please support us by giving your high rate in Google Market, recommending to your friends and forums.
On the other hand, we are looking forward to receiving your feedback and comment,we will keep working and make improvement from current version.
Please reply to this thread if there is any issue. We really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Just as an update, we had just release a new version which have features as below:
1. Option to choose "Call with Speaker On".
2. Support contact with multiple phone numbers.
3. New features to crop contact photo to prevent unwanted image scaling.
Please email us if you have any issue

I haven't tried it but it sounds like a great widget! Thanks! I'll be sure to keep my eye on this one just in case I need it.

Pretty good.
Works well on my HTC. Pretty useful when driving.
Keep it up!

Hi All,
February 3rd, is known as Spring Festival or Chinese New Year for the Chinese. In order to celebrate it, we release four very special and unique skins for Contactz.
Hope you all like it.
Help us to rate it if you like it.
Thanks
p/s: Valentine skin is coming very soon.

No go on HTC Desire with Oxygen RC7
Couldn't get it to work on my HTC Desire with Oxygen RC7 and LauncherPro Plus.
The widget seems to work OK but when I click "Done" there's no widget added to my home screen.

Only thing I would say is that when choosing the skin I wanted it clear so I chose no skin, but there's still a border around the widget. Also there's no option to change the colour of the contactz part to bring the options up, pretty hard to see black font on a black background. Another option you could release is an option to delete their names and just have the contacts pictures.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Nice app even nothings new. I dont like the skins. Some more minimal wil be appreciated.
The icon are to much big so this cause problems when I resize the widget.
1,93Mb are really to much for a simple widget.
I think that with small image contact space and nice interface it can be better.
For now I use Sense again.

Nice, useful!

Hi MrFrem82,
Thanks for the feedback. Your i5500 is running on Eclair 2.1 right?
Our widget was set to support SDK 1.5 and above, so basically it should apple to support for your phone.
Thanks

Hi kroogar,
This widget require the whole screen, so if there is not enough empty space on the screen, the widget will fail to be added.
Hope this will help

Hi SxcKieranGrr,
Thanks for the feedback. We will look into this new options.

Love this widget... thank you so much. Especially love the animation.
I'd like to make a request for consideration.... For those contacts with multiple numbers can a box like the "Call & SMS Option" with those numbers be displayed for selection? Up to 3 numbers would be great if screen estate permits.
Thanks again for an awesome widget.

Been looking for a widget like this!
Awesome widget! Works great on my Dell streak. I've been looking for a contacts widget like this with the single tap execute along with the eye candy. So far the "no frame" and "default frame" are my fav. My least fav frame is the "iphone". lol, it looks ok.
Suggestions:
-Create the option for a single contact w/frame as a 2x2 widget.
-More frame options to choose from. Maybe some other popular phone frames besides the iphone.
Thanks again.

Would like to try but it's hidden from my SGS Vibrant in the actual Market app. When I attempt install from the web based market, it says that my device is incompatible. Oh well.

Couldn't find it on android market. From web market was unable to download. using wildfire cm7. is it possible to upload the apk?
thank you guys. Nice app and love to try.

Hi All,
First of all, thanks for all the support and feedback.
We will work harder to made the application better and move to the next level.
As for now, we want to share with you all about our new released "HoneyComb" series of skin. We have Angry-HoneyComb and 2 others skins.

Removed 'last updated' from Asus Weather Widget (root not required)

I was a bit annoyed by the addition of the "last updated" line in the Asus Weather widget included in the 3.2 update. I thought it was ugly and provided a bit too much information to the widget. Since there wasn't an option to switch it off, I disabled it from being displayed. I also edited the widget layout files to create another version with smaller text. A screenshot is attached that shows the original (top) and the modified (bottom) Weather widgets. The second screenshot shows the original (top), modified (bottom left), and modified & resized (bottom right).
Root access is not required as the modified Weather widget is not a system application and can coexist with the original Weather widget. The ModWeather.apk installs like any other application and does not replace the original Weather widget. After installing the widget, I found a reboot necessary to get the widget to appear in the list.
I have received confirmation that it works without root.
Update: I received reports of these modified widgets not working for some. Upon investigation, I believe I found the source of the problem and have corrected it. I also rebuilt the modified widgets using the stock widget from a system dump of build 8.6.15.13. If you installed these modified widgets prior to October 7th 2011, you may want to install the updated version(s). I updated the version number to 1.0.2 to facilitate upgrading from the previous 1.0 version.
Update 2: With the release of ICS, Asus included the ability to resize the Weather widget to 1x1, 4x3, or 4x4. The 4x4 variant includes a daily forecast. I have been working on a resized variant w/ the 'last updated' text removed. While it is still a work in progress, the latest revision can be found here.
Feel free to let me know whether it works or not for you and don't be afraid to press that little thanks button below.
--------
There have been several inquiries related to the battery widget in the screenshots. It is actually a widget that I created for my own use and has nowhere near the features of some of the other offerings. My Transformer is my first real exposure to Android, so I wanted to write my own to get a better understanding of Android application development. I also wanted to use images that complemented the Asus Weather and Date widgets. I am providing this widget as is and cannot guarantee any further development and/or improvements. However, feedback is always appreciated.
Battery widget updated to version 1.1.0 on August 16th 2011.

Can't confirm the root not required part, since I rooted a couple days ago.
Downloading using TF stock browser didn't want to to work. Using XDA app did. Weird.
Mine required reboot for widget to be available.

I use both BatteryDockChartWidget TF101 by POKE64738
and the Dual Battery Widget by Artiom Chilaru
Never seen one with those icons on either widget

OP, I have been waiting for something that allows me to re-size this widget since the first time I saw it. I downloaded both apks but for some reason neither of them allows me to click install. I can scroll the list of permissions, I can click the "more" button and I can click the "cancel" button. I just can't click "install". Any ideas on what may be causing that?
I am not rooted, btw. Hopefully I can get this to work for me. Thanks.

Confirmation that it works without root good work op
