Special thx to Damage and his unnamed leak for the official 2.1 release! VVM was business-necessary for me (ability to forward voicemails).
This is a Port of Ratcom's GSM version; all credit goes to him. Those interested in theme development, look up Ratcom and check his sig.
(3-28-10) Rosie no longer includes buttons; instead they're located under Framework in com.htc.resources.apk. So editing Rosie requires you to update both these APKs. Therefore they're both in the ZIP, which makes for a big file.

Special thx to all those at XDA making it possible for us to better use our phones. Thanks!
many thanks! Love the clear clock, thought I would have to say goodbye to it after flashing fresh 1.0

This is the theme I personally use and plan to keep it up-to-date for as long as Flipz wants to pump out updates.
I do have a day job though
Can you try to port over a smaller home like in the beautiful home app(4x1 instead of 4x2)
sweet, thanks a million.
quick question, did this change?
You're referring to this:
Copied from this post in the GSM themes:
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm -R system/etc/lockscreen/port
Whatever lockscreen you have will now show directly on top of your home screen.

installed fresh 1 and i still have the wallpaper i set for the background, installed the clear theme as well. tried this command and it keeps saying file or directory doesn't exist.
just sucks that the clear notify makes you lose the new task bar and puts the old one back on.
I don't understand the point of the clear lock screen included here since Flip put out lock removal patch. I'm not complaining, just curious of the difference. And since the lock screen is totally transparent with Fresh 1.0 + delock, is there a way to remove the clock from the lock screen since a lot of people use the HTC Clock widget anyway?
I'm using the keyboard, widgets and buttons. I really like how just the word Phone and just the visible parts of the other two buttons light up now, that's a really nice touch. I'd use the clear notification but I like the new taskbar icons, if there's a way to get both the clear notification pane and the new icons I'd use it. Again, I love your work!
Amazing JOB!! Really love it. Thank you a lot for this!!

I've tried to split everything out as much as possible, but with ZIP updates, you update the entire APK, not bits and pieces. In this case, both the notifications and taskbar graphics are located in the same APK (framework-res). So it's all or nothing.
All Clear downloads are labeled with the APK it replaces to help the community know what it is the ZIP is actually changing.
I haven't even looked for it yet, but I'm guessing Tsowen's taskbar is a GSM theme that Flipz started to port over. I also know Flipz needs a break and mentioned something about working in the kitchen. If it is a port, I don't mind looking at it, but it would have to wait 'till next week, as things get BUSY starting today.

The difference: this is for those who have DE-Freshed. This lockscreen offers a separate lockscreen wallpaper that has no arc or other graphics on it, just your wireless carrier and the time. You don't see your homescreen or HTC Clock widget at all.
As for removing the clock, well, I have the habit of giving out almost-truths Then Flipz yells at me and sets everyone straight. I'll try to explain with what I think I currently know, and then the pros will (hopefully) come by and tell you how it really works.
Visuals are controlled by binary XML files within an APK. You can't just open and edit them, they're not regular XML. There's a java "printer" that will convert them to TXT so that they can be edited, but there's no known way to re-package them again. Unless you're editing source code not to look for certain files, you can't just delete XML files either.
What that means for us - Removing the clock would be a specific feature a ROM cooker would have to change the source code for. That's waaaay past what a simple graphics hobby jockey like myself is capable of
I really like how just the word Phone and just the visible parts of the other two buttons light up now, that's a really nice touch.

Glad you like it! The original Clear-button Rosie was a quick hack-job to remove the "at rest" buttons. I think these hold true to the theme much better.

Flipz corrected me when I quoted that from the GSM theme forum. There's a backup wallpaper as well, so to "remove" your lock screen to view the homescreen beneath takes a bit more work.
As per my OP, I would like to look into this, as there seem to be enough people interested. Ideally there would be a ZIP update package that modifies things to the point that you'd be able to flash Evil's lockscreen (or whatever) and still see your homescreen beneath. I'd like to think this is possible, but that requires time to play around

OK, that's cool. I'd actually been wanting to wipe my phone and start from scratch so I went ahead and ruu'd back and started over. Installed fresh 1 and your clears and got the clear, no background lockscreen.
Thanks for your work.
hmm... just wondering...
but what happened to the cool selection icon/picture?
like, when you scroll over something or select a program, in regular android it was a green square/rectangle.
but in the last clear theme for fresh .7, it was like, a fading circle
did you take that out? :O
oh, and btw, i LOVE this theme. thanks sooo much for putting it on fresh 1.0 so fast!
I'm not sure who to ask this but somewhere between running .6 fresh and .7 clears, and the 1 fresh with 1 clears, I lost a screen animation.
I was running .6 fresh with the original ratcom's clears and the other optimization pack, then when the .7 clears were made, i put that on and afterwards I had an animation where it instead of "flashing" between screens, it would "go into" the screen. After flashing the fresh 1 and the new clears, the animation is gone. But what little I know about the themes, I wouldn't think they would have any effect on the animations, that should be in the rom, correct? But it's weird that they didn't change until I put the .7 clears over the .6 fresh rom.
Edit: nevermind, I figured it out, the transition animation speed was turned off.

do you think you could repackage that in? i really liked it, it was a nice additional touch that really blended in with the theme and it looked good too.
thanks for all your work!
I'm sorry if this has been answered already:
Fresh 1.0, used the clear lock .zip and thought it was totally cool. I was playing with using a lock paper again and thought I could just run the .zip again to remove a lockscreen paper but it didn't work, my last lockscreen image is still there. There is not a "lockscreen" folder in /system/etc/
Any advice on how I can get back to having an invisible lockscreen image?
Thanks
*edit - again, I'm sorry if this has been covered. I just tried running delock_1.0.zip again with no result. I am guessing the invisible lock screen is part of fresh itself...
*edit #2 - I just reread this thread and realized how unobservant I am. A week ago I had zero exposure to Android, my head hurts from learning so much in such a short time. Thank you all for your work and patience with the noobs. I think its time I go hit a few "donate" buttons...
There's a few issues on the Fresh 1.0 topic that reference this, and Flipz posted about it directly. It appears that if you had your own wallpaper, it caches it away someplace. Flipz plans on addressing it in the future.
I was hoping to look at the lockscreen stuff but haven't had the time yet. 'Tis the season for a bazillion things going on.

You're not kidding! This may sound a little over dramatic but my perception of Android so far is it's revolutionary. I am absolutely amazed by what these devices are capable of.
Thanks again guys!
How do you install these? I just rooted and installed Fresh on my Hero, but not sure how to install these themes. Do I boot into recovery and apply from SD card?
Yup, just like a ROM. Save the ZIP on your sdcard, then boot to recovery: "Choose ZIP" and confirm.
I don't think we've had any issues with 1.0, but it should go without saying to do your Nandroid backups first!

Buy DINIK a Beer if you like his work!
First of all I would like to thank the users below for letting me to use their work
BT73 for his OP "Making Your Action screen like me",
lyriquidperfection for his great Touch tools for HTC apllication,
Marcdu81 for his very useful HD2connections cab and
Dinik for his great HD2 Iconset
makeveral for letting me integrate his very useful ram sweeper in my cab.
In "EndKey replacement" I used their work or some of their work, edited some things and I came up with this app as a result.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this app is to replace the EndKey function with a more useful and with more options one.
INSTALLING
Just install the cab and reset.
EDITING
You can change the functions of the buttons by editing the keys that reside in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen] with a registry editor.
1. Open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0-11. Each number corresponds to a button
2. Change "Path" to point to your desired app.
3. Edit "Param" if you want to pass parameters to the app.
For more editing, like background and buttons please see BT73's OP
UPDATE
Now when you press a button you also have an icon showing up. Thanks to k8sh's idea
UPDATE 2
I replaced the camera button with Enter bootloader. Preview below.
UPDATE 3
I made the buttons to get pressed like k8sh suggested. see preview 3
UPDATE 4
Background changed to black.
Different key press, now the button gets smaller when you press it. (see preview 4)
Changed rotation.exe and now only changes clockwise and if you press again back to portrait.
UPDATE 4
I replaced some exe's that handled the connections with JMLcomm. Now it's smaller in size and flight mode and DATA on/off should work for everyone.
New GTX style
UPDATE 5
RAM Sweeper is now integrated to cab and replaces the rotation button
PREVIEW
GTX Style thanks to colossus_r
Looks good, will have to try this out.
Thanks!
This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing! And thanks to BT73, lyquidperfection, and Marcdu81 for making this simple but extremely useful add-on possible.
Very nice,good job !
I hate to bug you but nothing happened. I tried installing in SC and device but nothing happened. Should I be doing anything else? This should pop up when I perform a short press on the end key, right (the red hard button)?

You have to install it to the device and it pops up when you long press the end key.
please try it and give some some feedback because I see you have the TMOUS HD2 version and there might be some differences.

Got it. I was doing a short press only before. Long press definitely works as it should.
I also noticed that the window only pops up for a few seconds. Any reg tweak to make it longer or stay since the app can be exited by pressing any of the hard buttons?
Also when you press a button (icon), you can't really tell that you are pressing it right?
I forgot to add that data disconnect does not work for me. Is this the same issue as Marcdu81's HD2 Connexions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6074894&postcount=101
All in all I like it and I will be using it. If I follow BT73's steps I can substitute a few buttons with ease?
good job man
Thanks

1. For the window popping out for a few seconds I haven't seen any reg entries that could change that. Although I'll try to find if there's anything we can do.
2. For the buttons not showing what you press I did it on purpose because I didn't like the result when I putted some icons. The bmp format (used by the app) looses all the transparency from the icons I use. I have something in mind and when its ready I'll post an updated cab here.
3. No it's not this problem as launching DataOnOff.exe from the action screen does not involve any shortcuts. The only shortcut to the program is written in registry and it's correct there. DataOnOff.exe can take several parameters (try running it from \windows\actionscreen folder without any parameters to see a list of available options) I use "-gprstoggle" which should toggle on and off but it doesn't work correctly to my phone either. It's only disconnecting the GPRS and not connecting it. (that's not a problem for me though as I only want it to disconnect).
Thanks for your feedback and your thoughts.
I edited my post and added that the data on/off is actually just Data OFF. It does not work for data ON. This is the same for Touch X Data Disconnect (hence, the name). Does Marcdu's work as Data On/Off or is it one-way only?

I just realized that it is also not an issue for me since if I don't have wifi, gprs will be activated automatically by whatever app that accesses it, if off.
I have an idea for the icon when pressed, the icon must already have the background as that of the action screen because of the transparency then perhaps changed it to grayscale or whatever is best for an icon when pressed. (See attached figure).
However, a plain dark background must be used like the one you are using now.

Hey thanks for the acknowledgment! I installed the v2 and there are a few kinks, the pressed icons are a bit misplaced relative to the original colored icons. I took screen shots of all the icons (zip file) so maybe you can play around with the x y positions when you have time?

It's supposed to be missplaced so you can see them when you press them.
If you want I will try to make them seem larger when you press them.

Here is another suggestion. You can crop the pressed icon so that there is a little more on top (screen shot) and you can align the icon with a slight offset in the vertical direction (so it looks like it is moved downwards only when pressed, covering the icon label entirely). I attached another screen shot of what it will look like when pressed if my description does not make sense.
It's only a suggestion. You always have the option to ignore me.

Actually, I don't even know what the boot loader is for. Maybe if I do, I will choose that one since Scilor came out with this new tweak where you can use the volume key to take photos and it works for me. But it may or may not work in some phones so you probably should not include it even if you want to (and it is only version 0.1).
(11-17-2010) UPDATE: My main purpose for starting this thread was in hopes that some developer would port the iphone version of the Star Trek Communicator for us Android Trek fans. My prayers have been answered!!!
Fellow XDA Developers member phineast has done a fantastic job and the app is now available on the market.

Since my method described below was a lame attempt to simulate the app, I see no reason for doing it unless you want to have it as a livewallpaper/lockscreen (and you have nothing better to do)! Honestly, the app is the way to go.
Original Post...
I've been trying to figure out how to duplicate this iphone app:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1TCJzhzXZM
After some fiddling around I came up with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4KFLk2HFDE
Here's how to do it...
1. Download these 2 jpgs (right click and save image as) and stick them somewhere on your SDcard.
The homescreen wallpaper:
The lockscreen:
2. Install "Earth Live" live wallpaper and Map Pack from the market. There is a donate version as well but the free one works for our purposes.
3. Download this zip that contains the map pattern jpg and 2 wav files. Unzip them to somewhere convenient.
4. Install "LockBot" from the market. I use the paid version but I think the free one has all of the functions (unlock sound and shake-to-unlock) that we need.
OK, now we have all of our apps and files. let's build our theme.
5. Look in your apps and select the "Map Pack". Let it install the files to your SD card and then let it uninstall the installer. Go to your SD card and you'll see a folder called "EarthRot". Open it and there's another folder called "maps" which contains the pattern files for some of the planets in Earth Live. Remember the files you unzipped earlier? Take the "globetrotter.jpg" (you can actually rename it to any of the other planet skins that you don't want to keep) and copy it into the "maps" folder. Let it over-write the file in there (you can copy the file that will be over-written somewhere safe if you want). Now you can close all of that.
6. On your phone press "menu", "Wallpaper" and select "Live wallpapers". Choose "EarthRot" and press "Settings". Pick "Backgound" and then "Choose background". In the pop-up menu, pick "From Gallery" and then navigate to where you put the "COMM-face.jpg". This will be your live wallpaper background.
7. (a) Go back one screen to the Earth Live settings menu, pick "Maps" and then "Map". Scroll around and find "Globetrotter Home World" (or whatever planet you saved our modified map file as) and then pick it. While we're on this menu screen, make sure that "Orbiting moon" is NOT checked.
(b) Now back out to the previous menu screen and select "Globe aspect" and then "Globe size". Move the slider back a bit and then select "OK". Now select "Globe y position" and move the slider forward a bit and select "OK". Go back one screen again and make sure that "Natural Rotation" and "Planet natural axis" are both unchecked. Now Hit the Back button two times to get back to the preview screen. Our goal is to get the spinning globe to fit into the round window as closely as possible (NOTE: The newer version of Earth Live seems to offset the custom background on the preview screen and also after you "set wallpaper". When on the home screen, slide over to the next screen and then back and it will center the wallpaper). Keep adjusting the size, Y position (and probably X position too) until it fits pretty well.
(c) Select the setting "Globe behavior" and make sure everything is checked except "Slide rotation". Go back to the preview screen and you can now move the globe around with your finger. I put mine so that the axis is pointing straight at me. This makes the classic "moire" pattern of the communicator from the original Star Trek series. If you look at the link you can see other moire patterns used in Star Trek.
8. (a) Open "LockBot" and select "My Themes". Decide which style lockscreen you want (I like the "Galaxy" style) press on it and from the pop-up menu, select "Edit" and it will take you to that lockscreen. Press the phone's menu button and select "Background" then select "SD Card File" and navigate to wherever you saved the "com-lock.jpg".
(b) Now press menu again and select "Sound" and then "File" and navigate to where you saved the "com-chirp.wav" file.
(c) Now press the menu button again and select "Save". Before that, you can make some additional clock edits if you want (I selected "None" to get a cleaner look).
(d) Back out to the lock style selection screen and press the phone's menu button and select "Playlist". Uncheck all of the styles except the one you edited.
(e) Back out to the LockBot main screen (with the padlock and android) and then press the phone's menu button and select "Config". Make sure that "Enable", Unlock Sound", "Unlock Menu", "Shake Unlock", "Lock Long Press Home Key" and "Prevent Wake Up" are all checked. Now press "Shake Sensitivity" and while holding the phone firmly and securely, flick your wrist like you've seen Captain Kirk do. The pop-up should say "OK", if not, do it again until it takes. You may have to come back to this later and re-do it. LockBot's a bit buggy and the Shake Unlock doesn't always work.
That's it! If you have problems post away and I'll try to help.
...and don't forget... Live Long and Prosper!
EDIT: Whenever I reboot my phone the globe map loses it's transparency and ends up looking like a beach-ball. To fix this, go into the Earth Live settings and temporarily switch the map to "Death Star 2". Make sure to set wallpaper with that one! Once you're done, go back and re-set it to the map name you were using before and you'll get the cool moire effect back (at least until you reboot again)!
This happens because I cheated. The jpegs don't support transparency but pngs do (notice that the only png in the maps is "Death Star 2"). I tried just using that one for my moire but it maps differently than the others and never looked right. Instead, I made a png with transparency in it and just named it as a jpg.
Reserved for some ridiculous reason.
Bumpskiola!
Pretty neat, and instructions were clear. I like it, but since im not much of a star trek fan im probably going to mod this a bit while still keeping your core method. Great work mate
Re: [Tutorial]Make a Star Trek Communicator!
Thanks!
I think the basic method could be used for anything.
Use your imagination and get crazy with it!

Nice work
Hopefully a dev out there is a Trekkie and will make a app like the Iphone's

LockBot replaced my lockscreen automagically. Are you using stock sprint ROM or one of the custom ROMs?
You could remove HTCLockscreen.apk and HTCLockscreen.odex but I think it may give you the messed-up vanilla lock.

Greetings Im trying to use your "Tutorial Make a Star Trek Communicator!" on my HTC Android Incredible.
Ive completed steps 1-5 no problems...
However on step 6 on my phone I go to personalize, home wallpaper, live wallpaper and select EarthRot. Its at this point it just sits there and does nothing while message says loading live wallpaper, I left it that way for several minutes. Then I clicked on settings, after about 20 seconds I get an error saying application earthrot(in process com.seb.SLWP) is not responding, I can select force close, wait and report, I selected force close then the application closes.
Please advise as this looks so cool on your video.

Then I clicked on settings, after about 20 seconds I get an error saying application earthrot(in process com.seb.SLWP) is not responding, I can select force close, wait and report, I selected force close then the application closes.
Please advise as this looks so cool on your video.

Try getting Earth Live to load without the modified files.
The incredible may be using different size jpgs for the maps. If so, just modify the globetrotter one from my zip to be the same size as the original.
You may also have to re-size the jpgs posted above to fit your phone (not sure about that).
Good luck!
got it to work but now have two other issues.
1. original htc screen lock wont go away.
2. lockbot wont change wallpaper when I select the file.

I haven't used this in a while and it seems the "Earth Live" live wallpaper app has undergone some changes that make this mod stop working.
I can't get the wallpaper to change either. I had to change the original communicator wallpaper to get it to select the whole image.
I tried jpg and png but neither worked. I will mess with it when I get time and see if I can figure it out.
If anyone figures it out, post back here!
EDIT: I got it to work! Use the wallpaper above. I am working on the other changes and will update the first post when I'm done.
OK, got it all working again. Files updated in first post.
Try uninstalling EarthRot and install it again and see if that fixes the problem. It works great on my EVO and even when I restart my phone everything is set. Great job with this love it

Hmmm, mine is still getting lost after a reboot.
Are you using a ROM that has A2SD enabled? I noticed at the first running of Earth Live there is a warning that mentions problems with running it from the SD card. I may try disabling A2SD and then doing the uninstall/re-install thing.
Thanks for your help and I'm glad you like it!
Star Trek Communicator - Unofficial
Hello all,
I've pretty much ported the communicator (as a rewrite) from iPod to the Android platform. Anyone care to help me test it and give me some requests for features?

Hello! It's been a while, I know, but hopefully this will be well-worth the wait:
Introducing...Jaxbot's Windows Phone 7 Theme for the HTC HD2, version 2.0.0!
For those who are not aware, this is a complete rewrite of the very first Windows Phone 7 theme for Windows Mobile, which you can find here.
You may be wondering, what makes this different from the other Windows Phone 7 themes out there? While the other themes may be better as far as eye-candy goes, my theme is completely stand-alone application, meaning PointUI/WAD2/etc isn't required. Secondly, my application is designed to not only look like Windows Phone 7, but also function like it. Check out the video below for more details
Since this is a complete rewrite, several things have changed from the previous version. In fact, too many things for a complete changelog. So let's cut to the chase...

Features
Smooth Kinetic scrolling

Based off of the WP7 design
Dynamic, movable tiles
Pin contacts, websites, and hubs to your start screen
Smooth, drop down lock screen
WP7 themed text notifications
...and more
Screenshot 2:
Instructions
Download the cab file from the site at the bottom of this thread.
Install it onto your device, and (if desired) disable HTC Sense. This will give you some more performance and should help fix a few HTC Messaging bugs.
Customize the tiles as desired
To customize the tiles, hold down on a tile you which to move/remove. To add a tile, hold down on a blank spot on the homescreen.
To add a start menu item, hold down on a blank spot on the start menu.
Facebook
If you wish to use Facebook integration, go to the launcher to the right, click Settings, and check "Facebook". Then press Close app and re-run the program.
Known issues
Facebook sometimes asks for the password twice. Trust me, it's the APIs fault, not mine. The application never sees your password.
...Probably some more soon. Let me know.
Upcoming features
More hubs
Integration with Twitter, Flickr, etc.
...Give me suggestions!

Important note! If you are running a non-English rom, you will need to edit \Wp7Theme\wp7_start_path.txt to wherever your Start Menu programs list is, for example, \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
If you don't, you won't be able to add any programs to the start list.
It works on HTC Tilt 2
Great work, it's the best I have seen so far. Think about customising after the important stuff, like color schemes. Will report back later. Keep it up I look forward to your future progress.
Phone:
HTC HD2 Leo TmobileUS
CHT2.0 beta
Cookies home tab 2.0 beta
it looked really nice
but only ran once..
then when i restarted my phone, it would load then just stop
Thank you for that.
But I've installed it on my HD2 (Goatrip 5.9 - WM 23139, german ROM) and I had to move the program folder from "Programme" to "program files" to get it working.
It's possible to start it from there but it will crash whenever you try to add a program in one of the hubs... (program path.... blah, blah) :-(
So I think it will work fine on english ROMs only.

Yes, the program has to be installed into Program Files only, so non-English roms may have some issues. I'll try to find a solution for this, stay tuned
Jaxbot,
Nice to see the final release I haven't had much time to play around with it yet - but I will
A couple of problems:
Sometimes clicking the right arrow will just bring up a blank page i.e. the all programs/settings etc menu does not drop down (maybe a resources problem)
This build appears to not have the pictures hub - your last beta build had a page much like WP7, this release seems to only bring up my Camera Shots album - EDIT: Ah. I see that the pictures "hub" only works when signed in with Facebook. Intentional?
I see in your screenshots, that your Pictures tile is customizable - mine isn't...
Oh and it is probably advisable to save this program to your device and not the storage card for performance!

To address some:
1) Try flicking down/up with your finger, sometimes the physics engine will push the tiles out of view. If not, it's back to the code with me
2) The pictures hub is only enabled when Facebook is enabled, and later with Flickr/etc. The HD2's pictures are in a resolution that can't actually be loaded by the .NET framework (anyone care to help?), so without service integration, it will just take you right into the HTC Album program.
3) The tile displays the background of the Pictures hub when Facebook is enabled, which is typically your most-recent upload. Once Flickr/etc is added, this will probably make more sense.
Also...if any .NET developers have figured out a way around the OutOfMemoryException when loading the HD2's photos, do let me know
Hello,
I'm downloading it now and testing on Miri's Standard lite v23 ROM. Will let you know how it feels
Edit-Just tested. Here are my first impressions
1) The people tile is very laggy when scrolling for contacts.
2) Text tile pulled up an error "The following program failed to launch: Argument: messaging_client.exe", I guess your program depends on the HTC Messaging client, which I dislike.
3) Pictures tile pulled up a similar error with "Argument: HUB_PICTURES"
4) SIP Input icon disappeared when I switched input from Keyboard to Swype when adding new icon and entering label. I head to restart WP7 theme to see it again.
5) When I added a contact with picture profile and email and address to the main screen, there's only a blue square, and when and I tap on the tile, i can only choose to call or send text to the mobile number.
6) I accidently clicked on the trash can and then on the settings icon, and I can't exit the program.
7) Adding a new program after using a big SIP (like HTC EZ Input or Swype) makes it hard to select an icon because of (4)
8) Moving the tiles is a bit of a chore
Aside from the contacts thing I mentioned, lag is minimal and quite acceptable, speed is not an issue on the HD2.
Looking forward to more improvements and a new release
Pictures hub
Hi Jaxbot,
Thanks for your reply. I have a suggestion for the pictures tile (thanks for putting the Facebook album names btw).

Yes, this is the first release of the rewrite, so there may be a couple of issues, which I hope to sort out ASAP. Thanks for the feedback
To address some things:
1) The kinetics seem to have issues, I'll look into it. But you can jump to a contact by clicking on the letter at the top of each "section."
2) It's designed for the HD2, and while other WVGA devices may work, there may be some performance issues. I might add tmail.exe support in the future, though.
3) It uses HTC Albums for the picture tile.
4) You can close the SIP, click another text box, then click back to the text box to re-enable the SIP. I'll try to make this smoother.
5) You must have a contact picture, or a name that the app can display onto the square (not sure why it would only be blue.)
6) I should probably disable that, but for now, taskmanager should help
Everything else, hopefully I will have improved in the next version. Thanks for the feedback

Yes, I admit to having "thrown-together" the pictures hub towards the last minute, I'll be sure to make it more WP7-esque by next release. Thanks for the reference mockups!
Hi. I'm wondering if is there any way to make this theme workable on HTC Mega: touch 2? It's a QVGA screen. Thanks.
This theme you've created is awesome.
Its Great!!!
But im using a german rom and have the same problem as "MyRho"
Please help us to use your great WP7 theme without problems

This theme only works on WVGA devices, and that at, newer devices. I chose the HD2 because the Snapdragon processor really boosts the performance.
QVGA is too small to display all the information.

I'm trying to think of a way to get around the path limitations...thinking maybe a path file that can be manually edited, or is there an environment variable that will give me \Program Files\?
Sorry i don´t know.....i user the latest Dutty ROM from HTCPedia in german

I'll be looking into the code at some point to see about changing the Program Files and Start Menu directories to language-independent variables. Until then, you technically could copy the files into \Program Files\Wp7Theme (create the folder), but that's a little messy.
This is GREAT
I'll test it tonight ....
THANKs
looks great will give it a try can it be uninstalled too?

Ok so my Galaxy S2 is COMPLETELY driving me insane today. I got an ADWLauncher, didnt like it, now i went back to my TWlauncher. Whenever i want to set my wallpaper, no matter if i want it on ONE screen, or stretched on ALL screens, i ALWAYS get the same result, the wallpaper is stretched on ALL screens. I searched the forums, someone said its probably the launcher causing this problem. Cant find the settings on how to turn that retarded feature off!!
My goal is to have: Single Picture for all screens (Picture doesnt move when i scroll my screens).
If i set it for the lock-screen, i get what i want, but not when i unlock the screen.
Thanks.

I doubt if the default TW launcher has the option to disable Wallpaper scrolling. If i'm right, your only option is to use a Launcher that does have the option. Simple really.
I am also going to mad with this retard launcher because of this. I CAN'T choice 1 wallpapers also.

I wish it was that easy. TW doesnt have the option, but when i select the wallpaper style, all screens or 1, it actually DID work. Didnt need no option. After i got ADW Launcher, it stopped working. Tried deleting the ADW and set TW as default, still doesnt work.
Just got GO Launcher, that one DOES have the option of wallpaper scroll. Does it work? Of course, not really, still zooms the picture!!!!!!!!! Paper doesnt move, but the picture is zoomed out like no tomorrow. I have a girl as my picture, all i see is her breasts, i wanna see the rest!!!!
The picture needs to 960x800. Make sure the important part of the picture is centred. Disable wallpaper scrolling, and now you have what you want no matter what homescreen you are on.
Easy.
Post the picture here so we can help...joke
Its annoying that you cant display the entire picture.
I usually give up and put on a live wallpaper!
I know it's not the ideal answer, but you can create a blank 960 x 800 image in an image editor (MS Paint will even work) and paste your image in the center of it. It may be a pain, but it will give you the result you're looking for.

Sorry, gonna have to bother you a bit more. I downloaded a picture, 960 by 800. Here is what happened, i will provide screens. 4 of them!
Scenario 1.
Before i press "Save" i see this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And the Result: EXACTLY whats expected right? Stretched out on all screens.
Scenario 2.
Before i press "Save" i see this.
And the result: ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT I SAW IN PREVIEW!!!! =)
Disabling wallpaper scrolling, seems logical but i NEVER used that feature before. Whatever i saw on my preview, is exactly what i get on the background. Single screen background preview was the same as the background. Now, i dont know what happened, my preview for single screen and actual background dont match at all. You can see from the picture #4, on the preview i see the road, in the background, im seeing only the bumper. Am i making sense? If Im confusing you please ask, i really want to get this to work. Thanks.
Try using Superwall Lite. You can use any image without cropping & it will scroll accordingly (or not, if the image is the size of your screen). If you have a photo that you only want a portion of, crop it before setting it in Superwall.
Superwall is a live wallpaper so you must have a phone/rom that supports live wallpapers. It doesn't drain battery like most live wallpapers because it's merely displaying an image. It's worth a shot, if you don't like it then you haven't lost much.

In scenario 1 the picture isn't 960x800. You can see by the apect ratio that it's more like 1280x800 which means you have to choose a section of it to use.
In scenario 2 the picture looks to be the correct size but you're not selecting the whole picture. The guidelines need to be pulled out around the whole picture. Then you will have the entire picture over three screens, but with wallpaper scrolling turned off you would have just the centre 480 pixels showing on every screen.
Example:
That is the picture cropped correctly @ 960x800, with the car centred as well as can be acheived. The red box is the centre 480 pixels. (One screens width).
You can see that the car is wider than 480, so on your homescreen it will disappear off the edges onto the adjoining screens. The only way around that is if the car was narrower on the original picture. Imagine if it had been a person standing in the picture instead. They wouldn't be so wide so it would be easier to fit that person on one screen.
Try setting that picture with the red box as your wallpaper. Pull the guidelines around the whole image and set it. You'll see on your centre screen exactly what i marked out in red.
Edit: Superwall sounds like a good suggestion. Give it a go!
Hey. Yep the wallpaper, sorry that was my bad, its actually 800x480, the number is correct just not in this case. Need the 800pi to be vertical. Anyways, once again thanks a lot for the reply.
This time i got a TRUE 960x480. Results, same layout as before.
Ill start by saying, superwall doesnt work, read comments, many people have the same problem. I cant find it ANYWHERE.
I totally get what you are saying, please dont get mad =) Not saying you are mad. You can see that "1st scenario" i see the road on both preview and actual wallpaper, right? Right. 2nd scenario....preview, i see the road, actual wallpaper....no road, not even close.
I understand you example with the person, it was narrow the picture would fit, no sides would be chopped off. I get that part. Where i am having trouble is, the zooming in part. Why does my preview for "stretched out on all screens" matches, but the preview for "one for all screens" doesnt. Why can i see the road within the preview box, but not on the screen??
Please and thank you.

THIS SAME THINGS HAPPENS ON MY GALAXY ACE!!! I'm going insane! I don't even know what to do with it anymore. I'd set a live wallpaper but I don't want the battery to suffer. Aw man >:/
I have the same problem. The weird thing is if you set the single wallpaper for the lock screen it works as you see it on the preview screen (not stretched). The problem occurs only for the home wallpaper.
Download backgrounds from the market and check the option to resize wallpaper automatically. PROBLEM FIXED ! If you're gonna set a new background, open it with that app so the option can apply to it.
ADW doesn't have the option to use more than 1 picture. it use the same wallpaper for ALL the page.

Lol he's just talking about the zoomed in wallpaper, not about different ones for the other home screens.
