Adding a dock to Touchwiz - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

As you can see from the picture above, or from clicking here in case the image does not load/work, the stock Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean launcher both feature a dock at the bottom of the screen with a divider. I'd like to create some wallpapers which have this dock on them so that it looks like Touchwiz has an actual dock background. What resolution do I need for a nice wallpaper for the Note and where would I need to put the dock divider on the wallpaper? Thanks to anyone who can help!

Thanks.

well that will be kinda hard , as you need to add codes and assign public key for it , assigning dimens , string and alot of modifications . plus an image for the divider i guess the image will be the easiest.

You misunderstand me. I merely mean to edit a wallpaper so that, when placed under Touchwiz dock, it looks like the dock has a proper background/dividers.

take a screen shot of your touchwiz home and add a line or something on it with photoshop....
position it the way you want.
then just delete the screen shot layer and add the background you want as a new layer under the line layer.
save and use.

IncrediPhone theme by GrafiXpressions

Just something fun I whipped up... includes some basic iPhone icons i created from various screenshots of the iPhone 4 as well as a pretty nice iPhone-esque rain drops wallpaper.
Enjoy!

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. All this consists of is icons and a wallpaper. To achieve the "look" you need a few simple non-root programs such as better cut and folder organizer to change the icons. I also used adw launcher to get the iPhone styled app drawer and the dock you see in the screenshot.
Absolutely no root required!
I use ADW Launcher aslo but I cannot figure out for the life of me how you got 4 icons on the bottom like that. I mean the quick launch icons at the bottom.
you need to disable the page dots, then you are able to select the choice to add 2 more buttons in the place of the dots.
Excellent. I have it now...one more question...how do I replace the dialer? I have all the other icons replaced but when I go to create a new shortcut I do not see dialer as an app?

on the Incredible you will have to select new "Activity" in BetterCut and it is listed as Phone in there.
Excellen thanks. I found it under activities and it was called phone.
Cool work. Looks good...it was only a matter of time until someone wanted their incredible to look like an iPhone. Lol oh the irony! Because when you hold it...it gets reception
I did it just for fun... i switch between ADW.Launcher (my iPhone theme) and LauncherPro (My Android theme) just to switch it up. To be honest, when using the Android iPhone theme I always feel like that is how the iPhone OS should have been!
hey rocket man! do you have a page with all your icons?
all of the ones i ported are in the zip file. i'm thinking about making a "goodies" page on Grafixpressions.com where all of our fun stuff will be posted, but it may take me some time to set that up!

Sorry if I was unclear! I was refering to if you had other icon designs besides this? I'd like to check them all out!

[Q]How do I set wallpapers without croping?

I have this wallpaper that I found somewhere:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I want it to be my wallpaper just like it looks, but when I set it the phone forces me to crop it and I wind up with this:
How can I get the full image as a background so that its not zoomed in or cropped?
I was wondering the same thing ... I seems that you can't unless you put your wallpaper in the same destination the default ones are located which will make it like a stock one ....
Waiting for more experienced opinion ...
Hey man. I know what you mean it can be annoying. The reason why it asks you to crop is because of your phone's resolution or whatever, it can only show so much. What you could try is "PicSPEED Wallpapers" from the market. Download it. Then when you set a wallpaper (from your gallery) a new option to custom crop the iage will appear and you can freely manipulate what is shown as the wallapaper

no that's not correct....
I have the stock GB wallpapers and stil have to crop them when set as wallpapers...
Most wallpapers apps are crap low quality stuff...Plus tons of crap adds...
It asks you to crop because it slides the image over a little while changing home screens (for a static wallpaper). I don't believe there is a setting in the stock launcher to change that. What you generally want is a square, 800px tall and 800px wide, with the image you want in the middle. Then you enlarge the crop to the entire image, and voila.
I use "wallpaper set and save"
On market sets wallpaper without quality lose
Edit nvrmind stretches image

Customize homescreen and still keep Sense

are there more people out there which prefere to use htc sense and still be able to customize?
I'm using Desktop visualizer but on my Sensation with sense, but what frustrates me is that my custom icons/images never are seemingless.
my question to you all is, what kinda apps do you use to customize your homescreen while using STOCK SENSE?
and is it possible to change the grid size from 4x4 to say 4x5 ?
Apps i use to customize:
Desktop Visualizer Android Market link
Application folder Application folder
Ok a few screens ive made using Desktop Visuliaer, and Simi folder.
Makes Sense very easy to customize, looks good i think.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It would be nice to postion the icons where you like, rather than be set to almost a grid with Sense.

Its Android ICS, and Sense 3.6. Using the Elegancia ICE rom.
There has been some amazing themes done to this rom, just check out the Elegancia ICS thread in the theme section.
I used a zip to make the dockbar transparent, same as the top bar. And then just rplaced the icons.
Just rember that ICS Sense dockbar is a lot diffrent to Gingerbread dockbar.

[MOD][APP] Popup Browser for Tabs [P6200/P6210][RESIZABLE][NO FLASH][NO ROOT]

I was searching around for a popup browser for my tab P6200 and I came across this thread, the mod worked fine but it was too tiny for 7" screens so I decided to mod it myself and change the layout to a more suitable one for tabs and so i have further modded Gayebro's popup browser.
This app is touchwiz dependant so would only work for stock sammy based jb roms.I have only tested this with the Austrian JB Release. It could work with other Samsung devices, so please do post if it worked for you.
Installation
Just run the apk after downloading, no flashing or adb pushing required.
CREDITS
The original creator of this mod is Gyebro who made a Note 2 port for the S2, and you must thank him here for making this possible.
DISCLAMIER
I actually made this just for me and then decided to share because I thought many people could use this, this app doesn't need root and should generally be completely safe, but in a world full of conspiracies I am not taking any chances, so you should install this at your own risk.
Changelog:
v1.0
1.Changed layout to a more suitable tablet form
2.Changed Icon(I did'nt like the previous one)
3.Changed default homepage from Google to Bing.//because Google's tablet view looks ugly in a small window

I hope an update is given with this for resizing the window by pinching it or something. Anyways, looks great and integration to stock is what I was looking for. Other popup browers are plain ugly. Thanks! Hope you continue to update!

I am planning on trying to implement a more dynamic resizable button(a small one at the corner) I have an idea about trying to override the current resize functions not sure about it though , since there are some string values present by which the minimum size of the app can be defined I am optimistic, but currently I myself am satisfied with the current state of the app, will need to do some amount of research though *sigh*. Will provide other minor changes though (like a different homepage, since my brother is insisting on setting duckduckgo(a search engine with amazing privacy) as the default search engine for him, and a different themed approach).

App like simi-folder - floating shortcuts?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.
