Profile Picture Template Google+ Style - General Topics

Hey Guys, I made a template for profile pictures in general. This one i have made with a Google + theme since it is the biggest thing these days.
This Template is made using "Paint.net", for those of you that don't know what that is, Think Photoshop but a freeware. I will make a Photoshop compatible version later.
Learn More About Paint.Net
Download Paint.NET
I have attached some samples.
I will update this to allow changing of placement of the Google+ icon and Photoshop support later in the future, if you guys want it. (DONE)
Follow me on Twitter or Google + to get up-to-date on when i update this or you can send me suggestions.

And if you guys wish to help me even further you can get these apps from the Android Market
They are made by my Dad and me.

i wasnt aware of this website earlier. But it isnt reputable, they might be using your pictures.
So i would reccomend people to just do it the way i provided. That way your information will not go anywhere

Not to sound naive, but why can't u just install that one then?
I have found several on other sites but I assume they are not compatible with the EVO, I have tried to install them but the theme never changes or they will not install

If it's a sense widget, then you need to adb push it rather than install it.
screw the widget. I want that notification bar!
know where to get it?

well i asked a question right before you posted "answer:" and your "answer:" had nothing to do with my question. what an @$$h0le you are. or atleast made yourself look to be. anyways, its not a big deal.
You can follow these steps to pull the smoke news widget out of the smoked theme mentioned. These steps also apply for the news widget. A lot of the time I do not have ADB accessible and this method can be completed with only the phone.
- Save the smoke.zip file to your sdcard (this is the smoke theme already mentioned in this thread)
- Open Root Exporer and navigate to /system/app/ and mount it as R/W
- Move the stock geniewidget.apk to the SD card (/sdcard) in case you want it back later.
- Now navigate to the smoke.zip file, press on it and choose view.
- Navigate to the smoke.zip /system/app/ folder and copy the geniewidget.apk to your phones /system/app folder.
- Most important part now - long-press on the file and click on permissions from the pop-up menu. Permissions should be "read" for user/group/others and "write" for only user. All other boxes unchecked. If you don't do this it wont load.
- Restart phone and the transparent widget should be good to go.
This wont work for all apps - so make sure to keep the originals if you are getting creative. You can apply this across handsets, but try to stay away from system-dependent apps like cameras and power control widgets.

Im the asshole but you answered to something that had nothing to do with you right? I never was answering your question, I was answering to the OP obviously what you do when you post in a thread...you respond to the original post but ok, i guess so... maybe next time.
Anyway, he updated the app again so anybody who decided to use the app in the link i posted, go and update. =)
I'm just about ready to give up. I have been trying for a couple of days to make mine look like the pick I posted. Can't seem to get it done. It's really not that important, just thought it would match the other sense widgets a little better.
This is as close as I could get. For some reason I cannot get rid of that blue background in the widget, must not be editing the right file.

[Q] Create a wallpaper from an icon

I would like to use as a wallpaper this icon :
http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=548477convapplicationlaunchermms.png
Is there some software to do that ?

Can you not just save the file and convert to jpg if required?
Exactly. Just download the pic and put it into your phone. Choose the file in your wallpapers settings and you are done. An icon is just a smaller version of a picture, it's not any different from a normal wallpaper file.
But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of pixel
up
not sure what the problem is. Download the image. Its already in png format(which is good since it supports transparency, and is optimal for icons)
Then use a launcher like apex or nova to change the icon of your desired app to the one you downloaded. Also its 96x96 pixels so nothing needs to be resized.

I want to use the picture as a wallpaper. But I can't find the wallpaper that's why I would like to know if I can take the icon and transform it in wallpaper with no pixels.

It is physically impossible to stretch this small image without it ending up being distorted by the small number of original pixels in the picture. I am sorry, but you are going to have to use an image like this:
(Argh, still no outside links, so the link looks like this

Hope you like this one just as much!

You can't open the link because I put some "spaces" in there so I could post it here. xda does not allow new members to post outside links, only if they have over 10 posts on the forums. so just copy the link and look for the 2 or 3 spaces I put in there, delete them and look at the picture, because I think I found something really close to what you are looking for!
And there is no software that manages to do that. There is a feature on Photoshop or similar software that I know of that is able to reduce pixelation although it is not as good as you might think and it definitely can't make a small picture like this into a usable wallpaper...
Yes I forgot a space ! It's closed but not the same. Thank you for your help

thanks so much for these however when selecting the faces on the watch it's not showing a preview of the face, only a plain circle of a watch , it still works but cant see what is what. when selecing a face. I myself had this problem as well and it will show the same in the emulator select settings and go to change the watch face and it will show what I mean I never fixed my problem yet why the image isn't showing.

I just downloaded this one, the config.xml points to <icon src="icon.png"/> & the icon is stock. So, you will see the icon.png attached below instead of a custom icon image.
Did you upload a custom icon to yours? If so, you should see something like this in the config.xml...

Because the rolex watch does not contain a custom icon. He would have to make a custom icon and add it in the config.xml (if that is what he chose to do)

Analog Digital
Here is my basic analog digital that I posted in the other thread so we can get them all in one place.
If you post one its good if you add an image. Its easy to get an screen capture using the emulator in the SDK.
To start an emulator you select the button on the left in the connection explorer window. Then create a new one if you dont have one in the pop up. Name it and select all the defaults for now. Once it is created hit the button that looks like the play button. Now you can test your apps with out your phone. Select the emulator in the connection explorer and then right click on your project name and select run as. Then in the emulator you can right click on the clock and save screen shot.
