that one doesn't look nearly as well done imo.
A single icon isn't supposed to come out of the corner, etc...
This one is perfect.

What is the difference between corners and fast corners?
which one is better?

here's the quote
"What's Fast Corners?
I've made the fade animation when tapping a corner instant so that the corner expanding animation plays more smoothly. Basically this just reduces the number of simultaneous animations going on resulting in less work. Even on my HDPI Samsung Galaxy S this made a slight difference in performance. The tweak is non-trivial and the change is extremely minor but for users with LDPI and MDPI devices this should improve that animation."

I actually tried both, and I recommend fast corners. Seems to look much smoother, though both are awesome

I can't get it working!! Copied home 854x480 to system app but home is not available!!

maybe try the lower res one just to see

@djkekko89 : Maybe try renaming it to Home.apk and then move to system/app, fix permissions, & reboot. Or uninstall your current Home(have another launcher installed so you can still use your phone) and then try installing normally. Not sure if either will work but it's worth a try...
Remember to back up your current Home.apk as these methods will replace it.

So, bad news. SOMEBODY, spilled something on my laptop and now it won't even boot up. So it may be a while. But what you can do is take a existing xrecovery zip, unzip it with root explorer delete everything except "META-INF" folder, create a new folder named "system", enter that folder and create another folder called "app" and then copy the launcher in there, zip it up using root explorer and you have a xrecovery zip

I am grabbing the wallpapers as we speak.
EDIT: The wallpapers are already located in the Market - Click to view
As per the "same" ringtones, this happens sometimes with me too even when loading other ringtones on my evo. Try wipe cache and reboot and try again. After a while if there were dupes they go away, and everything goes back to normal.
Awesome! Since my Evo and Xoom are now good buddies, this will help them to become even closer. Thanks
haha yup. EVO & XOOM love ;-)
glad ya like them ;P

ES File Manager does not allow you to go to anything prior than /sdcard i believe.
Root Explorer (for root users) allows you to get into those system folders.
Are you rooted?
Cool I'll get Root Explorer from the market. Thanks.
I'm rooted by the way.

HTC Sense 3.0 Lock Screen!

HTC Sense 3.0 Lock-screen on any ROM.
Tested and working on Gingerbread.
Cheers to this guy.
​
Install Instructions:
Download Sideload Wonder Machine (See bottom of post)
Connect phone to PC (Charge Only with debug on)
Download the .apk here.
Choose the .apk in SWM
Click "Update Existing Application"
Click Install.
Done!
Works on RCMix 5.9.7 after reboot.
i'm getting an error in SWM:
INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES
edit: nvm i just deleted htclockscreen.apk in system/app and then installed using swm (did not check upgrade existing app) and then reboot and it works great! pretty cool.

You do not. The lockscreen itself does feel a little choppy to me.
I'm getting a "Device not found" error. When I try and delete it through RE, it won't change the permissions. It says the system file is read-only. I have tried mounting the R/W, but it doesn't change when i tap it. I dunno
EDIT: Deleted the old lockscreen with TB, and installed the apk. Like above poster, it seems laggy at times. It's not as smooth as I've seen in some other videos, but definitely cool enough to use. Thanks
Is it just the simple lock screen or can you select between the different types, ie weather??

Got it to work. If you use RE, go to system/app, delete HtcLockScreen.apk (backup first), then place the new HtcLockScreen.apk and then install it from this location. Just placing the apk file or installing from other location didn't help.
Reboot and you should see the screen.

I was able to get it to work. Using root explorer make the system/app directory writable, delete the htclockscreen.apk. I rebooted, then took the downloaded new lockscreen and moved it to the system/app folder and then installed it from there. Rebooted again and had the new lockscreen.

SE Arc Launcher now with Photo and Video widget

I'd made a SE Arc launcher before and you couldn't use Arc Photo and Video
widget with it but now I made another one and the widget's working. There
are also two digital clock as you can see in the pictures.
Download the attached files.
Put them in your SD card.
Flash "01.zip" through recovery.
Then reboot and install the "PhotoWidget.apk"
The widget should work, if it didn't or you had any problem with
the launcher just use root explorer to delete Home.apk from your
/system/app, but don't uninstall the Photo widget.
After you delete Home.apk, again reboot into recovery and
this time flash "02.zip",
That's it, I hope you like it, if you do just hit the thanks button.

This is Xperia Arc launcher and it wont replace the stock launcher.
This is a system app and you can't install it, so you need to put it in /system/app. I have another version that you can install it but the Photo and video widget doesn't work on it.

Go to Settings/Application/Manage Application, and find Home, then clear it's
data. If Photo widget is there, do the same thing for it as well and see if it works.

Yeah, you'r right, and I don't know what the problem is, because the APK is in
/system/app. For me, like you said, it just happens when I rebuild it and want to
try it and of course not always, but for someone who hasn't installed it, there
shouldn't be any problem. Also I haven't had any problem when I flash it via
recovery, it only happens sometimes when I push it using explorers.

[Q] Q about status/notification bar

Is there any way to customize the bar at the top of the screen? I can hide it, but I'd rather change the colors of the icons to match the rest of my phone. Is there a way to theme it? Sorry if this has been addressed before, didn't see it.

The best thing to do is push it to /system from adb and recovery then run fix perms. The zip you will download will probably not flash properly.

Not sure I follow. I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to this stuff. However, in the zip file of the rom I d/led and flashed a while back, I found the SystemUI.apk. also, i see where it has the base launcher as ADW Launcher blah blah blah. Can I remove that, and put my favorite launcher in, and then flash it, and it wouldhave that launcher as it's base?
I need to get into a live chat with one of you smart guys, to get you to teach me some of this knowledge so I'm not in here asking so much stupid stuff.

follow the directions on the site. Then instead of transfering the zip to your sdcard, unzip it and pull the systemui.apk out. Transfer that to your sdcard and push it back to your phone.

I'm sorry, smack me if you want, i'm still learning. But, what do you mean by 'push'?
OMG. I decided to do a back up before i tried flashing it. So, I'm in recovery, and in the process of backing up.... it got to 'Backing up .android_secure...' and now it's not moving.

If you unzip the rom package and go under system/apps/ there is an apk file in there called swagpapers.apk . I believe that is the wallpaper package. All you would need to do is copy that .apk file and then paste it in system/apps/ for any rom you want to use them in.

You can't install system apps from Internal/External SD card. You would have to drag and drop it under system/apparently and set the permissions.

Setting permissions only applys to an installed ROM. Perhaps a person has trouble on the latest update with the browser apk of your ROM, he then would just rip out the browser apk from the previous release. And throw it in with the correct permissions (from previous), to see if it fixed any issues.
