Hi folks
I am thinking about skinning the Android, and I am starting to understand how to do it as we speak
I have discovered the correct files, and the only problem I am having at the moment, is lack of creativity >.<
Does anyone have bright ideas on how it should be?
Best regards,
Zappza
Quite like the original skin with Android. The 3 screens allows me to add anycuts to the apps grouped by personal stuff, daily apps and then browser/net stuff.
Skin ideas
Look for the thread that talks about the G2... some interesting pictures there.
--M
Basically the only things I can to currently to get it to look a like the mockups, is to change the icons to be more shiny.
That could work out
Will try to get some work done next week, I have lots of homework at the moment >.<

Think I'll pass on this one.
I don't like the design on the X360 dash.
Perhaps the Wii though, I'll have to check it out when I get my Wii
I think it would be cool to have three tabs at the bottom for file shortcuts.
That way instead of having to put custom folders on the desktop one could just swipe up one of the three tabs.
Granted you can store many shortcuts on the side desktop screens. But, I like the swipe motion from the bottom better.
Also, I would love to see some different color themes. Maybe reverse the black/white of the window shade and made the app slider a darker grey.
What about making the icons transparent; like the blackberry storm.
please dont copy the iphone or xbox or whatever..i mean the color schemes are alright
but just make something pure eyecandy please..show us your creativity!!!

I haven't read so much in the Android Documentation yet, but my logic senses that this is some pretty heavy modding of both the graphics and the .xml files that control how things are setup.

This could be possible without any big fuss.
Transparent icons when inactive, and if pressed they become opaque.

That's my problem.
Creativity >.<
I will try to sketch something while at school, and we'll see how it goes
Perhaps I will start something simple, such as just changing the icons and some of the buttons with some other icons. Just to get a grip of it

you know, something black and shiny like the diamond interface always looks cool
black, dark grey will always be slick..look at HTC Manilla interface for good examples..
let me kow if you need any photoshop help...i am good with the pixels (or so i think ) not with scripting though

Something with a wireframe / Tron / Neon look to it, with icons that look like japanese writing, but really have english text.

Yeah, I like black but I prefer dull black, especially since I have the Black G1 ^^
Some Photoshop help would've been great
A starter could've been just to make the standard android a lot darker, just to familiarise with how we can edit the settings
Will start on Tuesday probably, my girlfriend is visiting me from Norway, so I'll probably have other stuff to do this weekend
What's the news on this?
And would this require root? =/
Currently nothing yet, but I will hopefully get started tomorrow
This will require root yes, as the only way I know of is to replace the files in question in the modified RC8 or RC30 image from JesusFreke.
could someone get me the source graphics... pdspatrick AT gmail DOT com.....I am rather good with fireworks, and I wanna make a skin for all of ya, but I don't have the capability to sign the update.zip's
Cheers!

*** 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
cool android! aha a fake android to show to my friends that my HD works on android!

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?

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
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!
Bleach Theme
*Requested
I dont really watch anime, i have never seen this show so here is my shot at the theme... after researching it, this is what happened.
I really appreciate you taking a shot at it, not bad.
Yea!!! ive been waiting for this. sweet man i like it!! heres some cool pics i like that maybe you could use as a wallpaper if you see fit
http://anime-wallpapers.com/images/800x600/ichigo-hollow-form.jpg
http://anime-wallpapers.com/images/800x600/fire-behind.jpg
the tab would look so cool if you made it the head of hollow ichigo (ichigo is the main character and hollow is the mask over his face) instead of the world "bleach"
Awesome!!!! Thank you!

please give me some ideas as to what you would like to see with the clock, statusbar, the app bar, folders...etc.

I will try to create the theme any fan would enjoy! - just need some details and suggestions from fans.
Thanks,

Dude I don't know what Bleach is... I have never seen it or heard of it & I probably won't ever even dl this theme but I have to say, this is easily the best post I have ever seen from a themer on this forum!!! You're attitude is amazing! Thanks for hookin us up with some awesome themes!
My thoughts on Bleach and what I would like to see...
Oh and here is a link to a pretty cool BlackBerry Storm theme that I found when I went searching for a Bleach theme for my Curve 8900...
Yeah so I just went to BleachExile.com where I posted a link to both this theme and the Storm theme and they ****in banned me...
I will give you my thoughts in a bit. I'm wicked pissed right now.
Hey all, A fan wanted to take over this project for me... I will let him take it and see what he can do.
If any objections to this you can pm me... I just figured I would let a Fan revamp this for you guys... The passion for the theme is stronger with fans.
Dont get me wrong, i had passion for the theme but a Fan might have a little more IMHO...
I enjoy working on requests, so keep them coming, please PM me with requests, there could be a chance i have not seen it or overlooked it for some reason... not on purpose, just cause there are a lot of threads i check.
Thanks,
RandumAccess
Cheers to what you did make though!
Oh and it made another person start making themes which kicks ass!
Yea, someone is "re-doing" this theme but I like this one better, just think some icons, a custom hightlight, new font, ect... kinda like the batman theme how Everything is different. (The red digital clock is still on my phone, matches this theme though) I know it would take time but it a potential master peice! I DL some pics, changed the backround, did custom my favs, did some pic frames and its amazing so, please!!!!!

I started a website dedicated to Windows Phone 7 wallpapers: http://wpwallpaper.com
The wallpapers are all in the native WP7 screen resolution of 480x800. Each wallpaper also comes with a Microsoft Tag so you could scan a wallpaper you like straight from your computer screen with Bing Vision, so you don't have to manually download it. I try to add about 3-6 wallpapers everyday and would love for you guys to submit your favorite wallpapers here or on the site.
Hope you find it useful and enjoy!
Thanks for that! Not a bad site not a massive amount of content but no doubt there will be a few people from XDA who like designing images and will submit them. Great idea with the Microsoft Tag reader.
There is also the XDA Wallpaper app, you might want to contact the dev to see if you can have some inclusion in that to unify everything. Great job though.
You can also check out some wallpapers here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/category/wallpapers/
I really like your idea. Got some new wallpapers from there.
Easy when using Bing Vision.

thx for the postt....
