The tools are one thing, knowing how to use them is another. If you use PS or similar image editing app then get practicing what you've read.

hi guys i need some help!!!

hi guys i posted this earlier but in the wrong place.. i really need some help with my htc hd2 im looking for anything to funk it up and maybe some cool apps.. any games anyone thinks are cool... and before i forget can i change the clock and themes really want to change them!!! thanks for your help and hope to get lots of replys!!! mark
come on mate... i will warn you now before you get a flood of abuse hurled at you..
just use the forum search....
or just go through the threads in this section of the forum...
the most popular ones tend to be the most updated...
new to this!!
new to this i can take abuse!!! only joined yesterday and was just after some help as im not very technical we all have to start and learn somewere dont we... so those who feel the need to abuse please feel free to and those who kindly wish to offer help please feel free to... thanks mark
Hi mate, I agree that everyone has to start learning from somewhere.. You don't have to be very technical do use some of the apps and themes. Just read very carefully the instructions and you'll be fine.
Now I know that a lot of people don't like the words "use the search" but in that case it's the best thing to do. Just type "theme" or :icon changer" or "tweaks" or "games" and you'll have a lot of results and different was to make your phone look and work better.
Nevertheless you'll have to do some work yourself by reading all the stuff.
Before I get hammered for i wish you good luck...
yea sorry i didn't mean to put you off or anything just, i know there are a few people on here who would crucify you...
for games i have FPSECE 0.10 which is a superb Playstation 1 emulator.. go to www.fspece.net for the details
in terms of other tweaks and stuff... i would recommend searching as everyone's taste is different..

Need help finding Start buttons for win mo 6/6.5

Well, Ive been searching for months trying to find any stand alone start menu icons to fit with my Dusk theme as i love dinks taskbar but its changed my start button and my animated loading icon.
Before you accuse me of not Googling or searching threads, all i seem to keep coming back to is the 6.5x only thread, nothing else. They look awesome but no use to me.
Any one able to point me in the right direction?
Also if you know where I can get a choice of animated loading icon (eg.spinny win mo symbol) that would be great.
Thanks in advance!
No one?
You cant be telling me there aren't any..
..other wise what did you all do pre 6.5.X??!?!!

Look here it's a link to someone else searching, we can try to keep it in one thread, I can't find them for the life of me. I did have quite a number but I am gonna trawl through the Themes and Apps and see if I can find the thread.
original ganjaman has done some start buttons for 6.5. and i know he is lookin into it. best to ask him to make u one . I've learnt how to make them for 6.5x but not for 6.5 .
hope it helps
Thank god for you guys!
Thanks lads! I'll move my search over to that thread.
I know what you mean, I used to have a collection myself but when i got the all in one Dusk theme had no need for them anymore.
I must of been searching for the past few months looking with no joy..
Damn you Dink for making such a tasty taskbar!!!
If I find a hefty amount anywhere I'll make sure I share them around!
Thanks again for your help!

Would you guys be interested in an all-encompassing theming guide?

As I've eben working on my own theme, I've asked a lot of questions , and (obviously) learned a ton along the way. I've been keeping a log of a lot of it, but, I was wondering if you would all be interested in an "end-all, be-all" guide to theming from scratch? With things like important file locations, tutorials on .9 pngs, decompiling and editing xml, etc. etc.? Maybe I'd even PDF it and have screenshots and everything.
Just something I've thought of, but, it's REALLY not worth it if people aren't interested, bc it'd be time-consuming.
I would definitely be interested. I have been looking for something for awhile now. I have found bits and pieces haven't been able to put it all together and figure it out. I have an app I have been trying to theme to match the clock I am using and cannot get it right. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
This is what happens when I try to theme SwitchPro widget.

Yes, I don't have time to figure it out on my own like you did. So that would be pretty fly.
Hey dmoses, go ahead and attach that .9 png you did for the background of switchpro, and I'll fix it for you real quick.
uhm that would be awesome ive tried changing a bunch of things on my phone on to find out that maybe half ever work and not knowing why lol
I'd love to see this too. I was spoiled with theming for the Palm Pre & would love to get into theming for Android now.
I am always open to answering questions about theming. If I can anyway.
Personally, I learned a lot of my android business from SDX-Developers. There a bunch of us brainstormed and basically relearned android. We pulled a lot of info from XDA yes. And for that I am greatful. However, since so much had to be relearned, a lot of info is documented in the forum. And most devs are still active so getting a response to a question, or at least someone to bounce ideas off of, is pretty easy. Android across the board is very similar no matter what device.
I would first recommend google search being that there are a ton more forums beyond xda with information. SDX is where I usually go for more technical questions or discussion, but then again it is where all the Moment users went when XDA shunned us.
Documentation is key if you want to remain open source so the mods can be used or altered for future use.
+1 Great idea

Anyways...
Glad that people could use something like this. At some point I'll deifnitely start to work on it.
yeah, would defiantly appreciate something likes this. I spend so much time with 360's i hardly have time to mess with my phone and this would make it a much easier task.

+1 interest on a good one stop guide, whether it be all original content or mashed together from the way too many guides out there.
