[THEME] Android for WAD2 by Mallman RELEASED!!!!

Now available at www.swampthing.net
*** Notes ***
1. Android doesnt really do that much which I was surprised at.
2. There are 5 screens on this theme and I only use 3 of them so 2 are there for you to get creative with or just delete if you dont want them
3. Android uses a hard "menu" button to bring up its menu so I put a little purple android on the screen to mimic its function
4. The background on this is super widescreen meaning the background spans across 5 screens. really cool feather of android and I am glad I was able to mimic it. If you change the background you will loose this effect
5. Navigation of this theme is as follows:
A. Tap the box with time and such to unlock
B. Swiping your finer up and down on the main screen bring up the apps menu and hides it. Pressing the button also does this
C. Switing your finger left and right navigates between the pages
D. Pressing the purple android toggles the manu on the phone and messaging pages
AS ALWAYS, READ THE FAQ IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FIRST

haha hey are you saying my other themes aren't cool!?!?!?!?!?! LOL JK, it will be available relatively son. real like slowing me down

Well i like your themes very much!! But I want to impress the people with my blackstone with a cool theme and stuff. Not a blackstone which looks like a wannabe iphone. So i can't wait for this andriod which will beat the Iphone theme, I hope !
I will be waiting for your theme!

i have done a lot of research on Android's UI by watching all the videos and screenshots I can find and I have to say that it really doesnt have much lol. I have pretty much completely recreated it. Of course it isnt possible to recreate its browser or contacts lists etc etc etc. One thing I was able to mimic is its "spanning desktop wallpaper". My version has one wallpaper that spans across 5 screens (not the same wallpaper over and over but a 2500x800 across 5 screens)
I am putting in some menus that mimic the small white one on each page that appears when you press the hard menu button on the G1. I am saying all of this so that those of you who have not used an Android phone think I am missing a lot because there isnt much to miss

MALLMAN.....like always buddy, nice looking. When I have time this week, i will jump on your website and check out the themes. Hey quick question. When i try to export my theme or save it, it takes a long.....LONG time. Any ideas? I know that they are saved to the SD card, any way to speed up the process?

Unzip before you save it across to the storage card.

Will this work on VGA? or are the images only rendered for wvga? I want this on my fuze

thanks a ton!!! was fun to make

Hi,
Thanx a tone...cool theme...looks very similar...
I have downloaded it and have customised it quite a bit...nice trick with the 5 wallpapers looking like a widescreen wally...
Just one small question...dont know why but swiping right for screens on the left brings the screen much quicker as compared to screens on the right...is thr any reason to that or is it just me???

Looks interesting

Htc stop implementing the hard zoom feature in your phones!

I Dont know about you guys but I really hate the built in zoom feature on all of the new htc phones. To me it is a waste of space that could have better implemented with a Dpad. I hardly ever use it and it doesnt even work for very many things except the web browser. I see htc messing up all of their new good phones with it.
I see it as a waste of space. I see myself missing a dpad or scroll ball a lot more than I even think about the zoom option.
How do you feel?

I have two gripes about the TP2 hardware:
No scroll wheel or D-pad for ease of navigation
Seidio doesn't have a spring-clip holster yet

Does it work on word or excel?

Yep it does work with excel, word, pictures, internet....
I use the bar all the time, just love it.
So HTC: Please keep the zoom-bar!!

Don't use the zoom a lot, but it does work great when I do...
Would like to change it into dpad though! (Zooming can be achieved by other means)

Well I can think off cool games with throttle.
But other then that, the zoombar just doesn't work to well for me. If it did work well, more fluent I would like to keep it. It's nice to zoom in a little bit on webpages, and not to far like what happens when you double tab in opera.

Well, I'd like to have a D-pad (because it's handy in games) but I don't have a problem with the zoom bar on my TP2. I'd like both, really. My only gripe is that too few applications support the zoombar. If Opera 9.7 beta supported it I'd stop using 9.5 altogether, but because it doesn't I still use both.
That said, iPhone-style multi-touch pinch-zooming is a MUCH better solution, and I'm looking forward to trying out the Leo.

I checked this out. I've already got the registry setting in question, but the zoom bar doesn't do anything in Opera 9.7. So.... (shrug)

3. Location of the power button gets in the way of typing at times. I have the powerkey fix by one of the xda members but its still a pita at times.
I havent really used the zoom bar but its koo. Im with shasarak far as the dpads & games.

Hi All
I have made this mention in another post, but to me at least, what we need is a reg hack that will allow the Zoom Bar to work with more apps, not just Album, Etc.
Now THAT would be worth having.......
Imagine being able to add whatever App you like to the Zoom Bar Active list,
even just to zoom the screen of any app or function would be a bonus too!
Sort of like with the G-Sensor hacks.
Maybe someone will find a way...??
Cheers

I agree. The zoom bar is retarded and serve 0 purpose at all.

I love the zoom bar. Use it all the time. Especially useful for navigating forums like XDA! Maybe my fingers too fat always cannot hit the number to navigate to the next page, even after double-tap. So always use zoom bar to zoom big big so that I can tap on the link.

Can the Opera be updated in the VZW TP2? I thought it was hardcoded into the ROM.

yeah that is true but a dpad would make it even easier to select small text w/ out having to zoom in and out all of the time.

I LOVE the zoom bar, but miss the scroll wheel of my Titan and my Clie's. So I'd like both please. the d-pad... eh? Don't really see a need. There is a keyboard with arrow keys if need be.

The d-pad is important for one handed use. Besides, if you want the 'already there' argument, opera already has a built in software zoom bar. and it work just the same.
Coming from the g-1, I really miss the little trackball. It was such an excellent feature to have. It was small precise, and it didn't take up too much room on the device either. I think that would have fit nicely on the tp2.

Changing the order of the 7 screens?

yeah true, .. but its so annoying XP ... i saw it in some vid, i wannaaa doooo iiiitttttt xP
i dont have the desire yet btw Lol

There is nothing about this in the full manual so it's most probably not possible unless it's hidden.

I swear i saw it in some vid I even remember which screen the guy moved
it was the right-bottom empty screen, he hold it and started to move it around!!! i know its nothing, but its so annoying, ..its one of those things that you have seen and want to remember wheree and when

anyone managed to do it? .. I still think that i was NOT dreaming when i saw that vid that i cant find

This poster seems to think they can do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6017438&postcount=18

You probably saw it on a vid of the N1 running Desire ROM.
I believe there was a mod on that ROM which allowed you to move homescreens around from leap.

It can be done but you have to move it peice by piece. Each widget can be moved so what i was reffering to is say the bookmark page can be moved to another screen.

You cannot change the order of the screens as far as I know, no previous android phone has had this ability and nobody Outside this thread has even suggested you can. I think some people may have confused the "helicopter View" that allows you to display all screens and jump directly to any screen with the ability to rearrange them.

yeah im reffering to being able to move any widgets. could start from blank and re-arrange it to how ever you want.

You can do this but only on the Desire ROM ported to the N1. paulobrien, the developer behind the Desire port, already told us that this "long press a homescreen and swap it around" trick isn't available on actual Desires.
He's getting a Desire, though, so when/if the Desire is rooted I'm sure you guys will get this feature ported too. Kind of ironic, no?

Yep! You simply press and hold the screen you want to change and drag it to the remove bin at the bottom of the screen. You then replace it by clicking the "+" button bottom right of home screen, and choose from the list of widgets. I put on HTC calendar and photo album as two of my 7 screens. It is SO EASY to use this phone!

I don't think you understand. He means the ability to move around each homescreen, widgets/shortcuts and all, without needing to delete widgets/shortcuts and putting new ones on. You're thinking about long-pressing a widget or shortcut, not long-pressing a screen.
What's being discussed is quite different. It's like this:

LG Optimus Dual's gestures

Hi everybody!
Is there an application that lets you use lg optimus dual's gestures? I refer to the possiblity to move the cursor, when you are writing, left or right simply by hitting your device on the left or the right side.
Thank you in advance and sorry my english

Bump!
This sounds pretty interesting...

Yes this is possible, actually with a little bit of porting you could use the same app. The only real problem is that the hardware (accelerometer) is different. But it shouldn't be to big of a problem. How usefull this app would be is a second issue. You are aware that it is merely a gimmick and not even very functional on the optimus right?
Hope this informed you enough. If you want someone to develop it for you, just send out a request and donate kindly

Thank you for the explanation, my real problem is how to move between text easily, i red about this possibility but it's not an useful solution... Thank you tho for helping
Btw do you know how to move practically between text?

No problem, Could you elaborate on that? I don't understand what you mean exactly. You press where you want to have the cursor on text? On website its a longpress and then you can drag (and copy search etc) Is this what you mean?

I have some problems while typing a text message, for example, my finger isn't too much precise to choose the right place;
another important problem that i have is when i'm searching on Google: if what i'm searching is longer than the bar, and I'd like to edit the last word, i can't move the cursor too right beside i should tap the "x", that deletes all...
Sorry my English i tried to explain as best as i can, i hope that it's understandable...

Actually I know what you mean, google thing you can solve by making a text selection and draging it to the beginning. For the text problem there isnt really a solution. I got used to it pretty fast and im accurate now. Also the gingerbread keyboard is a bit better when it comes to text selection, if your not using it yet it might be worth giving a try
you can find a flashable package of the keyboard here.
Hope this will help you!
Edit: Text selection in google mobile is indeed not possible. A solution for this could be to use classic google which has a larger text box. (I am using this since the beginning, its actually faster and less buggy, downside is that you have to zoom in and out a bit more)

I already have a gingerbread keyboard, thank you...

Ok good, best keyboard imo. OT: you still want the dual gestures? Could ask some dev's to take a look at it

no i don't think i will, it's not so important, i don't want to bother a dev for so little...

Hahaha, lonely in this thread. We could have almost handled it with pm's

But you cant destroy the user experience for all the rest just because of a few.

Never thought about it this way, but that could be one reason. However it's pretty annoying, for example, when you're looking through a thread to figure out where you are, and you go to the next page, see that you've been on this one already, and have to go to the bottom to go to the next page. And since the bottom of the page is not actually where the next page button is, it takes some time.

Yea ! Thanks ! I was sure hoping to hear that !

Hope you find the bug as soon as possible because this situation is very annoying.

Scroll down to bottom of page and change theme from xda 2010 to xda classic and you will have upper page jump back. It changes the look, but you will have the jump back.

I'm glad to know it's a bug, I thought I changed something
It's indeed very annoying without it.
Good luck finding the bug.
btw, if I switch to 'hybrid mode' I get the page numbers back. But it's a not really in the right place. Maybe it helps.

It has been restored now.

thank you
