Searched, Read Wiki, Experimented, still need help changing themes

Hi all,
Been on the forum for a couple of months. It's been a great learning experience. I Have a Touch Pro and have Downloaded and installed ROMeOS2 v1.50.4 B1208 and flashed the radio to 1.02.25.28 Raphael (better than .32 version for me which I flashed to first).
I have also installed Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 and attempted to install new themes.
Here's my problem - no matter which theme I install - I can't change the red "flame" background on the home screen. I've spent several hours looking around, searching to no avail. It's time to ask.
What am I not doing?! Or doing wrong?
Thanks much,
David

tf3d settings tab (like a gear cog), tap wallpaper, use default.
edit: assuming you've already changed theme and the home tab is the only thing you are having an issue with.

from what i'm reading, might be just my interpretation, but it sounds like you're simply just havign a problem with the wallpaper, not the theme? isn't the simple fix as venelar described, and using whichever wallpaper you want (assuming you have a wallpaper you'd like to use and know the file location)

Yes, It is wallpaper I cannot seem to change. Where is
tf3d settings? I can't find the settings icon in programs, accessories, settings, etc - I've looked everywhere!

its a tf3 tab. generally all the way to the right. has the communications stuff on it that you press to go into comm manager to turn on off wifi/bluetooth etc..

You looked everywhere, but must have missed the Settings tab in TF3D.
When you are on your TF3D homepage, go to the settings tab (by sliding your thumb to the right untill you get to the tab named 'Settings').
On that tab there is a rule stating: Wallpaper. It is the third option on the settings tab. I bet its even explained in the manual .

I like the concept. I like that you are able to quickly get an overview of messages, calendar, calls and you can adjust was you like it. It would be better if it had facebook, twitter intergration as part of all the other info panels also.
The only issue here I see is that the whole notion of android is the widgets...which I like. I'll keep it on for awhile to test it out. Maybe it will grow on me.

It's basically windows mobile homescreen.

I agree with archboy, great concept, but still missing some customization features. The ability to move an item from the top half to the bottom half is needed. This would be great if it could also be used as a fullscreen widget, so that I could still use the rest of my screens.

I wish this was a lock screen.

IMO, this information oriented approach instead of the action/application oriented approach is much better in terms of productivity.
The only drawback of this application? I cannot access to some widgets/actions and I do really want to be able to do things like enable wireless, 3g, change brightness... without the pain of going through the setup menus.
A good solution to this problem would be a light weight home screen app which could be launched from slide screen and load the the 4 or 5 widgets I need. I've tried aHomeMini but it forcecloses, any suggestions?
@iVisionX01: yeah, having it as a lock screen is also great but, again, I won't need the full featured home app.

2nd that
Tried it for a couple of hours, but missing customizability and getting settings too far out of reach made me uninstall quickly.

I wish it was a widget!

Try QuickDesk or PowerStrip with this, working great for me, very pleasing to the eye..

wow i cant believe i missed this home screen
should be perfect with QuickDesk and PowerStrip

i dont get it??? Whats it suppose to do??

It's a shame FroYo won't let you change default launcher programatically any more (you have to do it through the settings). I would love to have had Tasker set this is default when I was at work, then LauncherPro the rest of the time

clock and weather same line

Hi all and many thanks for all the great themes out there,
couple of questions have been googling all night but cant find what i'm looking for.

2. remove the words calendar, the alarm and the date, if possible, basicaly declutter the screen.

Thanks all.
Steve

[Q] Softlock Button Idea

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:
{
"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"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)

It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.

You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!

Actually i´m happy with just swiping up from the home button. :good:

Transparent browser

I've tried many different browsers with greyscale, inverting, and night modes. But this browser is the first I've ever seen do a clear transparent version before. I've checked all my websites and they all look amazing.
If you like blacked out and clear apps I suggest you check it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.UCMobile.intl
Here is how I make mine look blacked out.
1: get a completely black image, picture, or screenshot.
2: in the browsers theme section set the image you want as the wallpaper.
3: set the background to transparent

Brilliant find, really. Thank you for the tip!

Thanks for the tip.
I've done limited testing so far (did not even figure out how to set trans bg yet...), but while first looking into this on the market, I noticed that there was a mini UC Browser as well. I ended up spending more time on it than their full one.
A couple observations on Mini:
- good UI, but I do have to press my menu soft button twice every time in order to get to the opened tabs icon...;
-less options but also less "clogware" (or just stuff I don't need really);
- night mode a bit "lightish" in shade, but very good since it doesn't affect (invert) pics as Lightning (a similar) browser would;
- use fewer processes/services and about 5 times less RAM than the full version (and app itself is 10x smaller);
- could find a setting to easily switch between desktop/mobile and it seems like page zooming is not really possible... But layout seems always pretty good;
- nice touches like: top/bottom quick btns, bw saving/compression, 3 file downloads at once, auto-reconnect/resume dl (although this is marketing talk cause some site do not allow pause or resume...);
- more to discover..
And hopefully, we'll be able to theme bgs and text colors a little... I'll look into this tomorrow; can't wait... hehe!
Thx again, cheers!

Does UC support flash by now ? Did one of you try UC sync available for chrome desktop to sync tabs .... ?

That's great I love this one
