*** 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

i let an export sit for a couple of hours and it never completed. I have no clue bro. I asked the same think on lakeridge forums so I will have to go check back and see if it was ever answered.
Cool theme, love it! well done

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
First of all special thanks to the guys at Lakeridge Software forums for getting all the icons rounded up and laying the foundation for this. Also, this isn't an exact mock up because I personally think the storm clutters too many screens with the same icons over and over. If you want to change it then have at it
and yes, it "clicks"
go to www.swampthing.net and grab it while its hot!!!
nice !
not tried it (don't actually get my THD till next week) but the screenies look really classy - i'll be trying this - nice job.
But I suppose it saves me the time of trying to convert the one which PPC.apache put up!!
Well done!

all i did was pretty much put my twist on his with some resizing of things and such.Shoot I say you build your own as well bro. Mine isnt purely Blackberry Storm, it is blackberry storm by mallman I don't like all of the BB out of the box so if you were going to make and exact duplicate then by all means continue your work.
Thanks for the kind words though bro, didn't mean to beat you to the punch. I just like making themes.

No worries, I am doing my tax return at the moment, so don't need the distraction, so might do it later on in the week!!
You keep up the good work, you are on a roll!

Just had a play with yours. I like the icons and I think I might change the front page around to be the calendar page with some more information as I like to have my appointments on the front page.
WAD2 is really good for stuff like this

yeah nothing touches WAD2 as far as the limitless customizations. I can honestly say that your imagination is the only limitation. And please do publish your BB themes for us. You may spark more ideas in my head Good luck on your tax returns. Im getting a CPA this year which is ironic since I work for INtuit (the company that makes TurboTax) and file for free. lol.
MALLMAN, loving the theme, like i mentioned over on swampthing. Since there is not alot of commenting on your forum, I decided to ask this here. Would anyone know where to find the icons for this theme? I know there are various icon packs around the forum, but i cannot find any that would go good with this theme.

If you're looking for he phone one then I have bad news There isnt one int he pack. i have tons of icons for this. Here are the ones I made so you can use them and link it in.
I have ported these in like you and I talked about, i also changed the weather icon to be much more attractive. Attached those too if youre interested. I have also added a couple of notifiers for missed calls (it is positioned the phone button on a transparent icon and an appointment notifier positioned behind the calendar icon. Finally, I have cleared out the calendar icon on the front so it always displays the current day of the month.
ANd yeah, there will never be conversation on swampthing like there is here lol. I couldn't afford the bandwidth if there were.
I have updated this by making a phone icon and updating the weather icon as well as tweaking the weather page a little.
Hi Mallman
i have installed into my HTC HD your "HTC Mallmans_15_Tab_Windows_Icons" and now when I start the system exit a lot of pop-up with "Failed to load skin".
I don't use TouchFlow3d, I use simply Today with many plugin.
Where is the problem into registry ? Where can I look ?
It looks very nice but requires paypal to download the theme!
I finally figured out how to change all the backgrounds of all the tabs, but i'm very gentle and understating that the whole process is rather complicated.... Is there no genius/dev that can make an application to change the background picture of all the tabs? Someting like the app of HTC on the setting tab, that you select a picture and it applies to all the tabs.
Just my 2 cents....after a long struggle with the backgrounds......sigh....
i'm even willing to donate if the app turns out good and user friendly!!!
I would like it too.
For example an extra option in Diamond TF3D Configurator or even a new HD TF3D Configurator with a background for alll tabs would be great.
Because i have not figured it out yet.
This is what i got with my try
Hi guys, the search button does not bite.
But I do not want to be. -> [SOLVED] background for all tabs etc.
reading is also an art.......
i believed i already told this, but here we go again:
i already managed the background for all tabs, but there are a lot of things you need to do to make it work, what i was suggesting is that someone smart makes an application that relieves the user of all the manual labor and automates the process.
i guess not a lot of people think this idea is good or even possible.......
The idea is great ! But, i've seen some tutorials to do it... i don't think it's possible to make a PPC app.
We need a Desktop PC app to open manila files, resize background image, resize canvas, save image as manila image, open with another program, do some stuff with hexa decimal data...
Bumping this thread.
I've seen the other one about configuring your own Background Tab, but it seems like too much Ball Ache.
Would be ideal if it were automated through an App.
Any genius developers out there ?
Would be superb if someone could make a app for this!
It could be done, but thats not the one you do in an afternoon. Too many people using too many dirty mods, and taking all that into account, its a bonebreaking job cause you have to take care of that or people will complain. I gave that a thought, but came to the conclusion i'll postpone that.

IMHO that should've been included in TF3D on the first place. HTC included the option for the main page, can't figure out why they didn't make it change all the tabs in the first place.
Seems like this IDEA is already being implemented.

sounds great! i will go take a look!
and it also works great!
so no need for this thread anymore
It must be really frustrating for the devs that create these apps/CABs that people dont spend a little time reading/searching.
If you did, you would see that it is as simple as setting your background wallpaper.
Hey guys i just got my tp2 today after being a blackberry user on verizon for the past few years. I got the chance to trade my storm 2 for the TP2 and took it as i love trying new phones out. However, i do have a few questions as this thing is pretty complex in comparison to my Storm2.
1. I know you can download themes and what not here on the TP2 much like you can on a blackberry and i saw one earlier today i would love to give a shot as it looks like everything i am looking for. HOWEVER, how do i go about doing something like that on this phone? Can i do it OTA like i did on the storm? Most of the issues lie in the fact that I am a mac user and do not have access to a Windows computer.
2. Are there any known problems you guys are having with the phones that i should keep an eye out for?
Any help or insight would be much appreciated and i look forward to sticking around for a while. I have wanted to try an HTC phone out for a while!!
Thanks in advance
For one, although it is no big deal in this post since this post is very general, we are a CDMA device and our main forums are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
1) Oh wow, you asked just about the second most complex question. WM has about one bajillion themes that you can use, each theme with their own unique features. Manila (Sense/TF3D/Manila), SPB Mobile Shell, Infinity by Ageye, iPhoneToday, the list goes on and on! What you like will be personal preference...my best suggestion would be give it a try and see if you like it. Here is a useful post with HUNDREDS of apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
2) You should install SSK Dynamic proxy and NoPushInternet to help improve performance. At0mAngD3D driver might be of use as well.
Best of luck with your new phone!
Thanks for the quick reply. My older brother told me to check out the SPB Mobile Shell i believe it was as he said there is sliding pages and what not much like the MyTouch or other HTC phones so i will def check those out. Can i download them OTA? That is going to be the biggest thing for me. I need to learn A LOT about this phone.
PS: It's nice to see another snowboarder in here. I manage a snowboard shop myself

Microsoft Marketplace will have the *majority* of apps you can find online available to download OTA. I do not believe it will automatically update the apps though (there are some 3rd party softwares that do).
SPB Mobile Shell is one of the most customizable UI's that we have. There are a ton of great widgets and themes for mobile shell as well, so there is no limit to what you can do (my favorite theme for SPB MS is the Mobile Sense Espresso)
BTW, very cool about the shop!! Where are you guys located?
We are located in Rochester, NY "The Ski Company" is the name of the store. Where can i get the Microsoft Marketplace?
Also, how do i go about downloading a new theme? I'm so lost with this phone
Edit: I really really like the look of that theme, as well. How do i get it? lol
Edit2: If i get a new theme (say i get that theme linked above) will i still get the weather that moves across my page and everything every so often? That is a feature i really enjoy with this phone.

Microsoft Market should be located in your start menu somewhere.
I find that there are more free apps online so I tend not to use marketplace that much. I download the .cab, copy it to my SD card and then use a file explorer to browse to/install the file. Google is usually good for me, I just search along the following lines "site:forum.xda-developers.com My Search terms". here is my example:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source...=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=908f344da1ea5ce4
That specific theme, SPB MS, is actually download-able from the marketplace, a demo version as well. Disable Sense UI (Start > settings > today .. browse to the item tab and uncheck HTC sense) and install SPB MS. After SPB MS is installed download the espresso theme and install that as well. With SPB MS you do not get the animated weather unfortunately, thats one of the benefits of the Manila UI.
Hey there,
I have made a simple app (the very first from me) which I guess would be highly useful for phone fanatics like me!!!
It searches for the full specs and info of any phone you want in seconds. ( parses from GSM Arena superfast!)
It also stores the last ten viewed phones for offline viewing ! Its free and Ad Free!!
Hope you guys like it!!! Let me know if I can make it better in any way !! Thanks in advance!!!
For downloading, search for 'Phone Finder' in marketplace!! I am new so not allowed to put URL's I guess!!
Now that I am allowed here is the direct link:
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=10aada68-6330-40ac-a837-ec1cd6380f70
Nice app and good use of Metro UI. I loved it!
Suggestions: Is it possible to add a "pictures" pivot when displaying results of a phone? That would be impressive. A "comments" pivot would be nice too.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Edit: I have recommended your app to WPCentral.
Thanks
Thanks Chaitanya!! Noted your comments !!! Ill be releasing an update soon!!
