98% gingerbread look on froyo including screenoff animation

I love gingerbread but need the sense camera. So, since my friends still think my phone is CM7 even though it isn't, I thought I'd share my cheater way to get 2.2 to look 98% of the way there. There are only a few subtle visual differences, but it convinced a coworker today...
1. Koni elite III and get rid of the clock in status bar
2. Omegasun18 Honeycomb dreams for battery icon, other icons, etc...
3. Adw launcher by anderweb
4. NexusKang live wallpaper (free on market)
5. Calkulins remove sense
6. Sony sketch font (i like it on evervolv a lot!!!) - fachadick 300 fonts thread
7. The clock is beautiful widgets from market (i always use it since i paid)
8. Wimax notifier from Noxious Ninja for the wimax led notification (in xda themes and apps)
9. Screen Off and Lock by Katecca for the Gingerbread screen off animation (also on market)
hope this helps a little bit, keep the sense camera, have wimax notification, and the gingerbread screen off all on 2.2

Nice post man. Thanks for the info.

wow thanks for the info I'm going to try it now

thx man
great job man, thx alor for the info

Looks pretty cool. I'll have to mention this to my friend who just got his. doesn't like sense look but likes some of the default apps.

the screen off app is cool. not as convincing as the real thing. but cool.
one thing I would love to do is get it so it shows the animation when you actually hit the power button, not just hold search.

It's not bad though. the problem is you know it isn't the real thing. there are some other really cool screen off animations in there too. I use a blank on my screen to activate it instead of the search button. Blank icons are great, have about 6 on my home screen

I might consider doing this since I love the look of CM7 but I can't stand not using Qik, Skype on 3G and just a few other things that I used to do on 2.2 that I can't on 2.3.....Good post man!

thanks the animation looks great!
now i'm trying to find the sound that those old tvs made when turning off so I can put that sound to go along with the animation!
anyone have that?

there is no link

[Q] HTC One X and Theming

Hey everyone! So I switched from an iPhone 4 to the One X about 2 weeks ago and so far, the HTC is a beast! ALMOST no regrets switching (although the google play store lacks in certain areas). However, I'm pretty big on customization and my iPhone was jailbroken and all tricked out with different themes. So far, I haven't found the degree of customization that was available on the iPhone for the android. For instance, one big thing I noticed is that the notification bar on sense (or in general actually) is tightly integrated with the ROM, so you would have to make your own ROM to customize the notification bar, as opposed to changing images on the iPhone.
There are quite a few launchers available on the Android, which makes changing icons, docks, and lockscreens more centralized than on the iPhone which is a nice plus. So what do you like to do with your android? Do you hook it up with some themes, spice things up a bit, or keep it stock/vanilla? I'm thinking of developing themes, that's why I'd like to get your feedback.

You don't need to create a Rom to theme an android device most of the status bar icons are in the systemui apk you can use an app like 7 zip open the apk as an archive navigate to res drawable-hpdi folder you find all the battery, data WiFi icons in there find the icons you wish to replace them with size and name them appropriately and drag and drop new icons into the folder then push apk back to the phone. You could also try a Rom like miui aokp or cm9 which has tons of pre made themes available.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that later. I have tried the CM9 mod as well as the MIUI one, however they still have certain features missing (Sense camera along with 4G LTE). I'm just wondering what launchers/lockscreen apps you guys use and whether you pay for them or not. I have a GO Locker theme on the market right now, but I'm still wondering if that's the most popular lockscreen. I'd appreciate people's opinions on theming, whether they look at the play.store for them or elsewhere.

You could look in MyColorScreen.com to have an idea of what can be done on android customization. You will find some great work that people have done to there phones and what apps they use as well as wallpapers and icon packs.

Your welcome and I use adw ex launcher. Widget locker and MiLocker for lockscreen replacements. If you click the AAA logo in my Sig I'm a cofounder of the group android augmentors anonymous there you will find some great screenshots as well as resources that members have have shared.

Ah thanks, that's really what I was looking for. I've tried ADW EX launcher and I really liked it, but right now I'm using GO Launcher just because it has a few more effects features than ADW. And man, so many screenshots in your group! Probably one of the best Android groups I've seen on deviantart!

New Launcher: Dx_Home_ES_1.1.0

This is a new launcher

No feedback yet?
I feel honored to begin:
First things first: I love miui- metro style (means simple, squared, cornered icons! *_*) So my first impression was: beautiful!
Also the indicators are nice, i never saw it like this before.
The icons could be more simple (the "phone" icon has stripes at the background, but thats for sure a theming task.... There are no themes yet i think, and default theme could support more icons
About preferences i have not much to say, as long as its nice you dont need more settings
what ypu could add anyways: launcher direction (horizontal/ vertical),
dock background, faster scrolling, thatvthe appdrawer always starts at beginning (needs less ram i think and less orientation^^)
Is it thought to use Miui themes? just an idea...
Perofmance is simply awsome and smooth, id like faster desktop scrolling but thats all...
More infos coming soon
Add3: now i managed with the themer, there are many themes, also for lockscreen (which takes only 6mb of ram, thats exactly the same as the normal lockscreen) unfortunately in every lockscreen theme has to be anything in chinese maybe im gonna how to change this....
Greets
Add:
Ram: ~15mb (just as much as sony home, go launcher uses ~34, even zeam needs ~20...
Device: Sony Xperia X10i
Add2: now i noticed an app called tapashot, seems like one can download themes, wallpapers, lockscreens and apps there, im not sure because themes/ apps and categories are in chinese, only settings menu is english....

Jellybean lockscreen

Anybody know of a good mod or app to get the nice smooth jellybean lock screen on a touchwiz rom? I love the halo also really like jellybean notification pull down with email and text previews, but I gave horrible reception on those rom. Just looking if anybody has any ideas to help me pass the time.

Holo Locker works quite well, even allows you to pull down the notification bar while the phone's locked. I use it in conjunction with Nova Launcher Prime to achieve an AOSP look.

plus, it doesn't really replace the lockscreen

Home Launcher

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a BAD habit of wanting to change what my Atrix looks like, every 5 minutes. Sometimes its because I may not like the ROM and sometimes I may love the ROM...but need change. Especially, when I see a new ROM has been developed.
So I thought to myself...since I need change, how could I do that, without constantly flashing ROM after ROM. Stupidly, not thinking of this before - I have been playing around with home launchers.
I decided to make this post because I posted a few screenshots in the thread of my current ROM (Jellybeer) and I have had a lot of inbox messages asking what "theme" I was using. So I wanted to put this out there for those who have not discovered this home launcher. Now keep in mind, you can theme CM10 - and change the home launcher at the same time...which is awesome. Some home launchers even offer their own themes (which may change your icons, font etc) So lately, I have been spending more time combining themes of CM10 with different launchers, which led me to discover YANDEX.SHELL.
Its pretty basic, but offers some awesome visual effects (in my opinion). Which includes - its own dialer that you can use by default if you wish, a new look to your contacts, and my personal favorite - the carousel! The carousel is neat in the aspect that its animated. Its activated with the "pinch" gesture on your home screen and it shows all your home screens in a carousel that spins one screen at a time...animating any widgets you have on that screen (NOTE: Animated widgets are the widgets that are provided with Yandex)
The link and my screenshots are below. I hope this helps and let me know what you think! Cheers :good:
