[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

now available on www.swampthing.net

so u have to buy WisBar Advance Desktop 2.1.2.1 to use this right?

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?

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.

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

[THEME] Blackberry Storm for WAD2 by Mallman

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!

Widgets for WM 6.5

Please don't flame me as I did a search in the Development thread and also here but couldn't find an answer. All I want to know is are there other widgets available to us other than MSN Money and MSN Weather that were part of NFSFAN's 6.5 ROM?
I use MSN Money quite a bit although haven't figured out how to add Dow Jones Industrial index to the list. $INDU doesn't work.

This what you are looking for?

A very big thanks to you. I don't get this though. When I did a search for the term widget, this link didn't pop up in the results. Do you have any recommendations from the list of 50?

2.Click on it

4.On right (TOP)SIDE OF SCREEN REMEMBER ITS ON THE TOP THERE IS GONNA BE A SIGN THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS +
5.CLICK ON THE PLUS .AND I THINK IT TELLS YOU HOW TO ADD!

I have the same problem. It used to appear in the older version when you do a search for 'dow', but the new version only finds dow chemical co. Looks like it's either bug or ms might be purposefully blocking this index?? In fact, the older version of the widget used to have $indu in the default start list.

Thanks for the response, but I already know how to add stocks, only Dow Jones Industrial index symbol ($INDU) is not working. It seems to be some kind of a bug as the previous poster mentioned.

After downloading the widgets, I'm noticing that all these are links to websites. They are not like MSN Weather or MSN Money.

Had the same problem not being able to add the Dow index via the search functionality.
Just need to add it manually using your favourite registry editor:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Widgets\Settings\2\msnstocklist=
...,$US:INDU,...
Order of placement in an existing list will be reflected in the list displayed
i.e. $GB:FTSE,$US:INDU,$US:COMPX
will list
FTSE 100
Dow
NASDAQ
Hope this helps

Steve,
thanks a bunch for the above suggestion. It worked for me just like you described. This is why this website is my Home Page

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.

[LIST] Share your favourite app.

Hey Guys,
I wanted to try something. I think everyone of you has his favourite app or apps. They have a really cool feature or they just look really awesome.
So I had the idea that we could make a list with the favourite apps from the SGSII user. I know there are several websites with tests and everything.
But I think that mouth to mouth propaganda works the best. Especially for "secret" tips.
And that's how it works:
1. Check the list in the second post if your apps are already there.
2. If not then post your TWO most favourite apps. Post the link to the appmarket or the XDA thread. So that everyone can find it easily.
Tips:
-You can write a little description if you want but you don't have to.
-It would be very nice if you could write the category in which the app belongs.
-It would also be nice if the link would direct to a trial or a free app so that curios users can try it.
An example how a post could look like can be found in post #3
I hope a lot of people like this idea so that we can collect a good list with good apps.

LIST
Efficiency-tools
Swipepad
Swiftkey X Free
Vlingo
CircleLauncher light
AppWidgetPicker Read the instructions!
Entertainment
DroidTV Primetime
Health & Fitness
My Tracks

Example post
So I will make the start.
My two favourite apps are:
Swipepad
SwipePad is a launcher panel overlay. With a single swipe action, you can launch anything from within any app.
It's a really simple app but it improves the handling a lot.
and the second one
Swiftkey X
It's a smart keyboard which learns how you type. It even learns slang and dialects and predicts it in the right moment. After some days you don't even have to write a sentence the app knows already what you want to say.
The apps are both from the efficiency-tools category.

favorite app: DroidTv Primetime-without a doubt!!
This app is the best! To have a personalDVR(digital video recorder on my phone ) like Tivo to record every new tv show I want for 9 dollars every six months is a dream of mine. I can watch all my favorite shows all the time period!...
It is better than anything for all those wait times when you are stuck on hold, at oil changes, shopping with the wife etc

I'm typing this from my phone, so sorry about the missing links...
My best apps is Googles My Tracks, and Vlingo... they are just great, if,you have use for them!!

No problem. Vlingo looks quite interesting. But in which way is it different from the normal Google Voice?

I personally hate this app. I wrote the original launcher widget for android (launcher dock) which used this circle format. This app not only uses the exact same format but when I took a look at the code was simply my code deodexed and recompiled. They didn't even bother to remove my freaking comments.
Have tried to get it taken off the market but Google are useless when it comes to this sort of thing.

I understand your anger but it looks like you stopped development so I leave circle launcher on the list. They are still working on it and they added some new functions.
I hope it is okay for you if not just say it and we can have a look for a solution.

I always install AppWidgetPicker first on a fresh ROM. Great if you have apps with multiple widgets. Does not work on stock launcher and needs to be pushed to system/app.
