Hi, I have a one x on ATT, 2.20 rooted running cm10.
I have finally gotten a little settled on the way my phone works and now i want to change the looks. I've posted screenshots below. First off, I want a clock/weather widget that is similar to the one I have on my lockscreen. I found that as the dafault for cm10 and i have no idea how to get one for my homescreen. Can someone point me to a place where i can find a bunch of widgets or that specific kind?
Also, I want to change my notification bar,not just a black strip, and the icons(in the notification bar and home screen). How would i get to that? Am i suppose to look for cm10 skins (because a lot of them on the playstore seem like the same thing, rehashed with different colors)?
I've really enjoyed this forum and has helped me a lot (i just rooted it last night) and would really appreciate some help ! Thanks!
*ok i cant link outside of this site. any way to show these pics?

Since I have a giant clock widget on my home screen I feel this is pretty redundant. A quick google search yielded this result:
http://www.market4android.com/remove-the-clock-from-task-bar.php
But, that's for the Hero. Any ideas on if we can do something similar with the EVO?
hahaha, same here. it's retarded when i click on the show your home screen thread and see the huge sense like time along with the smaller taskbar time. or people have the battery widget showing the same thing as the taskbar battery. having the widget repeating the same information as the taskbar is redundant. it would be nice to disable it in the taskbar so i can put up some widgets.
Im really wanting to get rid of my stock battery icon as well. I had it on the hero, since Im using a battery widget that shows the percentage up there anyway.
I have the time removed on my moment but i doubt the same update zip will work on the evo.
itd be great if we could...

I did something like this on my old moto droid, that made the time disappear. Only prob left an open spot where the tine used to be, but at least it was gone. I will check on droid forums.net to see if I can find it.

Obviously some way to shift the icons over or put something else there would be ideal, but even just removing the time and having a blank space would be fine with me. I just think it's dumb to have the time shown twice right next to each other. Thansk for checking.
I agree. The only time it's handy is when you're in an app and you want to check the time real quick by hitting menu and dropping down the notification bar. I wonder if I'd miss that once it's gone.
When I get home I'll try to achieve it if no one else has, wish I knew how to remove that empty space tho >.
You can get rid of the notification bar altogether with ADW Launcher. Don't know if that will help you guys.

I still want the notification bar..I just don't want the time in it and I'm appealing to the experts here because I don't know how to mod the notification bar.
A thousand internets to whoever does it.

You changed very few things from my theme... A link to it or mentioning my name would be nice... Even the theme's name is similar... :/
I don't want to discourage you from theming but I spent a lot of time making all of those icons.
I updated mine recently too, and will continue to. Check my sig...

I wouldn't mind if you use all of the buttons & status bar background, or just certain icons in the status bar, or just the dialer,etc. using pieces from other themes is how we all get started.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

thought id try help.. been a while since ive used 2.1 though! lol (this was like the early 2.1 update we first got before all the roms came out)
1) i reckon the menu button background thing is most likely lurking in framework-res.apk in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
2) the background from the launcher is probably in launcher.apk somewhere although i used to use adw launcher so never really looked into that.
3) as for mediascape background it should be in mediascape.apk although im sure theres some background in there maybe from playlist section or something else where theres a separate background file. cant remember in which apk ul find it but i think it was along the lines of the timescape or framework-res apk's!
some help i am lol sorry.. but if ya wanna look at the old work i had and maybe figure something out then feel free to do so. link should be in signature below if needed!
hope it helps!! good luck
First post, thanks for reading
I searched a bit to try and find an answer on this.
I've recently got to customizing my atrix
I've got Go Launcher
handcent
fancy widget and a few others
in the "screen shot" thread under the atrix forum I keep seeing people with customized icons in their system notification bar on the top of the phone.
Just wondering how I can edit this, any help is appreciated.

I am not sure but i found a site where ppl post their ROMS and their launchers they use to get customized icons in notification bar. Here it is: http://iamandroid.com/group/rootedd1users/forum/topics/what-rom-are-you-using
Or are you talking abt this?: http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/42725-theme-dark-ages.html
If you are, there is a tutorial on that here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/42724-guide-how-change-your-notification-bar.html

I'm assuming you're referring to screenshots posted of homescreens and such. Many of these are the look of the custom ROM's they have installed, others are themes they have flashed or installed.
The look of your phone is totally customizable and individual. If you are running a Custom ROM check in that thread or with others running that ROM for themes that run well with it.
If you only want stock without a custom ROM. You could start simply by long pressing on the homescreen of your phone to change wallpapers and such.
You can also try downloading a launcher from the app store such as go launcher which will give you a ton of themes and customizing options.
For ringtones notifications and such I've heard zedge is great (available in the app store) Although I've only used it for wallpapers.
Good luck.

Hello, just updated from ICS and liking new build 197, but need a little assistance, please.
I saw some posts about Google now and installed Google search. Got the voice search, but got this terrible looking, IMO, huge bar across the screen near the top that is somewhat translucent and it is the Google search bar, or something like that. It had a little microphone in the right end.
I did not like the look of the bar and even though there is a search widget that is much smaller and you can choose which screen to put it on, the huge ugly one is persistent on all screens and I do not see how to remove, re-size, or do anything with it.
I uninstalled the Google search and it went away.
I updated to the next nightly when it came out, build 198. It was there by default. Bummer. I used a nandroid to recover back to build 197.
I then noticed the next day a new build, 199. Maybe this fixed it as i cannot see where anybody would want that huge bar across the top of all their screens, so I updated to 199. Shoot, it was still there. Nandroided back to 197.
Could some kind soles please help me with this thing, I would like to keep up with the builds as the devs are doing a great job, but I need to do something with that bar. It may be in the menus somewhere, as i really do not understand many of the choices available in the builds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris.
Use Nova Launcher. You can turn off the search bar in its settings. I am using the free version.

Thanks for the reply. I have installed Nova Launcher and found where to get rid of the search bar, many thanks.
One more question, please.
In settings/EOS Control Center/Navigation I have Glass checked and Glass effect set to nav bar=130 and statusbar=135. But the two bars remain black. Is there a setting in Nova that is overriding this setting? Could you please point it out so I can get the bar's background to being almost clear again?
Thanks in advance, Chris.
I never used that effect and don't see a setting. You can try this thread and/or put a request in.
